Hi all,

NB: We've had a few emails and DM's, so to clarify: The game update schedule remains the same! Dev blogs will be an ADDITIONAL series of posts on top of the normal content.

This first update of the month will be a little different than usual - whilst we have made our range of changes and improvements to the game, we've mainly been working on some much larger overhauls that will begin paying off in subsequent updates. That means that this post will be more of a dev-blog, something we will now do from time to time along with the regular update posts to keep you all appraised of what we're working on. For starters we're well underway with implementing character customisation, starting with our current female races. These aren't yet live, however we've got breast size, general bodyfat, and even labia shape now working in our dev build (among others).

Our character models have received an upgrade as part of the customisation work, with detail levels increasing and the sculpts getting a rework. Customisation options themselves will be adjustable via  sliders, with elements such as breasts going from itty bitty tiddies to a real set of badonkers (subject to final implementation and QA, see development version below).

The other, almost more noticeable upgrade, is that we've made huge changes to how we handle animation (see the gif at the top of the post). The shift away from entirely hand-keyed sequences to the use of realtime performance capture is something we've wanted to do for a while and that is only now possible thanks to the incredible support of all our Patrons. This new animation content isn't yet live in-game, but now that we have integrated this into our pipeline you can expect to see far more detailed integrations and sex scenes in the near future. We think that it's essential in joining the upcoming dynamic sex system into the world rather than the alternative of a "click to f*ck" system with snap in place animations.

When we first pushed the initial build of Carnal Instinct live on Patreon back in November 2020, we had no idea that within a year we'd be implementing full real-time performance capture. We're blown away by the support that we've received from our community - it's only thanks to you all that we're able to bring this incredible dream to life.

Team Carnal Instinct
