v1.0.1 Game Status

Hey all, the time has come - the final Patreon release of Carnal Coup is here! This has been a very intensive month of editing and play testing, and literally hundreds of typos have been fixed for this release, plus a few other bonuses. There was one new main feature added for this release, which is that the primary 'Scenes' gallery can now be unlocked by play. Granted, this will only be useful to a small number of people right now - only a handful of people will be getting this release but not getting the cheat code to unlock the full thing. Still, it will likely come in useful for future players and I'm glad to finally have that in.

There's a number of other QoL improvements and bug fixes but nothing too major, you can see them all in the patch notes below. As I noted earlier the planned free release of v1.0.0 will be this Monday, along with the usual State of the Game post, where I'll talk more about what to expect as far as Patreon posts and content and such going forward. I will note again though that there will not be a free release of v1.0.1, this edition will remain a patron-only perk.

Once again, my thanks to everyone who's helped see this project through!

Game Functions:

• Monthly cheat code updated.

Bug Fixes:

• Many, many various typo and text tag corrections.

• Fixed issue that could prevent secondary Specialists from commenting on encounters in Loyalty Missions.
• Fixed issue with the wrong gender portrait being used in the 'Celopi Detection' random encounter when on 'Anyone' settings.
• Fixed issue where, when having a 'Relationship' chat with a Specialist for the first time, they would grant you progress points for the endgame path following their natural inclinations rather than for the path you were guiding them towards (there is still a point bonus when those paths align).
• Replaced placeholder text at the conclusion of the 'Figura Sample Collection' encounter in the Science Lab mission set.
• Fixed issue where NPC genders in department epilogues would always default to female under 'Anyone' settings.
• Prevented hotkeys from firing off while changing the Overseer's name via cheats.
