December/2017 In Review (Patreon)

Time for the first annual State of the Game (Annual Edition)! The project hasn't actually been active for a full year yet, but it's getting fairly close, and the timing seemed right for a more overall view of project progress and where it's going. 

Overall I'm fairly pleased with how the project's been going from my end, while the game hasn't been a wild success or such, it has been making solid progress towards one day actually being a finished experience. I considered going back and counting up all the writing that's been done for the game so far, but aside from the numbers the point is: it's been quite a bit. :P  In fact, it's possible (though not certain) that the majority of the game's writing may already be behind us.

I tend to avoid solid dates as that way leads to heartbreak, but I do have a solid hope of Carnal Coup being essentially complete by the end of 2018, and possibly working towards a sequel or another project. To help spell out my plans more exactly, I've added a progress page to the project blog which may add some more detail. With only about two-ish races left to introduce, the Early phase of development will probably be complete in a few more months, and it'll be time to add some of the more game-y aspects to the game.

More immediately, we can probably expect to see the Schen scientists be fully introduced this month. In addition to new scenes, I may need to go back and revisit some of my older Citizen Seduction encounters and make sure everything's fully functional with the Herm gender option. Then it's on to the Maelish pilots! I'll also note that artist Phall will be taking a lengthy vacation this month; as Phall is our artist focused on specific NPC designs, this means Hellfire artwork may be somewhat delayed. We'll still have TDK on race designs and Suki on CGs, however, so fear not, artwork is still coming.
