Major Content Update - Dungeons, Climbing, Quests, Masturbation and POIsDec 20, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Everyone! We're here with our first UE5 Major Content Update, this comes with some expanded content, much needed bug fixes, engine improvements and Technical Work along with new quests and systems. Opting in Don't miss out! Until there is content parity with the Unreal Engine 4 release, the UE5 Preview will be available via a Beta Branch on Steam, to access this, right click on the game in your library -> properties -> betas -> click "ue5_beta". You're in! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/559bec198ef310fc11a2b2ede8729dd6d28cc67f.png 'If It Bleeds' & 'Shipwrecked Anubites' {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/dda960ad7db019310a269a39ff0fe2b6e78dcfae.jpg The horrifying creature that roams the south of Medhen Island, slaughtering many of the Anubites, must to be stopped if they are to survive; no longer do the Anubites have to fall to the talons of this abomination - their fate now rests in your hands. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/eb693e01a9838a0a39b7cec76fe541a836def0c1.jpg Make your way through the dungeon and learn of it's past, delve deeper and slay the creature. at the same time this update has added expanded dialog and quest choices for Shipwrecked Anubites, completing their story and allowing for sex options and new endings to the quest. Solo Play {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/c0fbd105799a9c957586869f792da793a3593669.jpg Along with this update we're adding the first set of "solo play" options. These enable players to 'keep the curse at bay', even if they don't feel like getting down to business with a partner. For now other NPCs won't react, though this won't the the case for long (I'm sure Damaris will be thrilled if you make a mess on the Taberna floor...). These can be triggered anywhere in the world from a new radial menu, for all body types and for male and female genital options. PSA: The world carries on around you, jerk it at your own risk. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/219a4640174f5fd9413172648f9ce9c3535c30e0.jpg Toys will arrive in a subsequent update, allowing additional solo play options. Pleasure Island Expansion - More DSS Scenes Available in UE5 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/0fe8355caa6f426515e625e5a53f718581a0a387.jpg Pleasure Island has received an expansion with new NPCs for you to have you way with(or them take advantage of you!) the adepts now have a much more established encampment from which to spread their message of lust. To this end we have brought multiple DSS scenes over from the UE4 build, along with a boatload of the more basic sex animations to help flavour the environment. The Anubite encampment should finally feel a lot more like the stronghold of a lust-cult! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/ad1b071c59b9ea899623fd8d68cf775cb4f5193d.jpg Points of Interest {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/dd33b44232444d2767a251ad9fdf2128db920106.jpg Heiffers Reach It's not all happy news in Sabu, and there are some tragic new stories to explore in the fallen land of Heifer's Reach. These particular quests are only accessible before completing Behold (i.e....Unreal Engine 5 Prototype Build is now LIVEJul 31, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsIt's finally here, the first Unreal Engine 5 build of Carnal Instinct is now LIVE. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/c23c41d6f052652a8ec1fb8f617fe0ea687b03fd.png Opting in Until there is content parity with the Unreal Engine 4 release, the UE4 Preview will be available via a Beta Branch on Steam, to access this, right click on the game in your library -> properties -> betas -> click UE5. You're in! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/559bec198ef310fc11a2b2ede8729dd6d28cc67f.png Expectations & Pre-Alpha We know there is a lot of excitement about this move, but please remember that this is essentially a brand new game. There will be bugs, probably a lot of bugs, and issues. Little content has been ported across from Unreal Engine 4, so whilst it'll expand quickly, the world is obviously lacking depth in comparison to the existing builds. Please help by reporting major performance issues, along with hardware specs and graphics settings, as well as show-stopping bugs. At this stage we don't need reports of floating models etc, as we know well that there will be lots of these and we're not onto solely cosmetic fixes for a while. Whilst we finalise our new traversal system climbing has been entirely disabled. This decision wasn't taken lightly, but a half-implemented system had the potential to cause more harm than it was worth. More ways to navigate the world will return in a future update. Once the disabled features are reenabled we will consider this version of the game as the Alpha Build of Carnal Instinct. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/3e2cd00f7111df3188b10a7d1265588222dc4418.png Known Issues This build has some systems, like magic, gated simply by the point in the story where the game opens. However some mechanics, such as setting romance paths and the mess/cleaning system, have been temporarily disabled for technical reasons. These will be restored in the next couple of updates once teething issues have been ironed out. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/f3bc1ec3db5bf30ac77821d0630bfcc675aa39ee.png Additional Known Issues: Controller support is still not available in all menus (we would recommend you use a Steam Controller profile for a better experience) The Aadi does not like water and will die if the water is too deep Some Video Settings do not currently save, we believe this is a UE5 bug on our version, we're upgrading after this update which should fix it! If not, we'll do an update with a manual fix Some video settings require you to reload the map Sails Ahoy! The boats are currently very work in progress and you cannot get on while swimming and the paddle is missing. Last minute we have disabled opening/closing the map via the M Key due to a few scenarios where the player could get soft-locked, so you have to open the Map via the Inventory. Sometimes after save/loads, chests & vendors will have 2x the amount of loot We have done a huge number of bug fixes in the last month but I'm sure many will slip through the cracks, please report them in Steam Discussions o...Upcoming UE5 Version Release Date - 31 July 2023Jul 11, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Everyone! As we close in on the UE5 version going live on Steam we wanted to give you a behind the scenes preview of what's coming at the end of this month. This is not an exhaustive list, but it should give you some idea of the new content and artwork that exists for the UE5 version. Release Date Reminder: 31 July 2023 About The UE5 Build The Unreal Engine 5 build is not yet intended to replace all of the content from the existing game, as such it will be an opt-in beta branch of the game. Once we're happy with performance and stability we intend to rapidly port the content over from the existing version of the game, so the 'missing' content won't remain absent for long. All existing content remains available in the main branch of Carnal Instinct. Genital Overhaul The genitals have been remade with much greater fidelity. For now there is a single option for each size, a human and an equine variant. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/21ec3191777b5231767b8fea8bb8f10a11a3095d.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/0681412349f900106baec0f59ea685d99a2a2770.png You can also set your genitals into a non-aroused state, for those that want some "downtime". These are unique for each genital option, for example the equine retracts into the sheath. Testicles can be toggled on or off and there are customisation morphs for both the penis and the scrotum. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/387dfcaf4c12f5e5259ead60c73c0f5fccb125fb.png The World of Carnal Instinct You begin your journey in a different corner of Sabu, though we'll expand the playable area to encompass that part of the map that is currently featured in the UE4 build of the game. For now here are some screenshots of various parts of the world, including new enemies and equipment options... p.s. you can feed the tamed Lion Desert Mau. This is an essential game feature. I will die on this hill. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/77cd54eba89883f353c37efd16dd88797f95c2fa.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/a4caceb315a58bd563f32de7934cc6385b3e0137.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/be4943424462c2678a10941af00cb3e65704061e.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/a5b6c1c850fa782f041b0f36f96b63738801d44c.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/c23c41d6f052652a8ec1fb8f617fe0ea687b03fd.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/723b412e9d6167c29f2d0c645b2c1a8d870454f1.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/00bf60cac6f7efa567aaa4ed147ed76aae58cef2.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/2412991730f54225d40b07fc1b7eaa34bb689d20.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/00a4e8fbc04ca4910fc976cb6137b53075f14634.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/b8ef5ecfc0d160dc543eb7712ddf9bdb59abc5cf.pngMajor Content Update & UE5 Release Date Update - New Scenes and Cosmetics!Jun 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Everyone! We're here with our 2nd Major content update of the year and an update on the UE5 release date, we have added new scenes, new cosmetics, expanded an existing quest, gave more options in existing quests and more! The Inquisition {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/e0bf3fd4ee8f55d80584e891d8d799284c00657e.png For this update we've finally revisited the artwork for a key boss and faction in the world; they've been left out in the cold for too long, and finally we've updated the Inquisitor of Bast, along with her trusty Zealots. This means that there are impactful decisions to make at the end of her fight now. Spare the Inquisitor and take her captive, or kill her and obtain her armour. She is now potentially interactive in DSS scenes, should her devotion to the Inquisition crack in the face of her needs. She doesn't have a unique scene right now, but she's fully voice acted. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/770ec53e2bcf764f837d8689cc0d5b0a1c863f25.jpg All the new gear is available in the colours of the Inquisitor (gold/white) and the Zealots (copper/grey). Only one of the planned head variants is currently in-game, however the other will be come in a future update once we're into the IOB questline. New Footjob Scene {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/64c9f70a127a5c6fab8f4c942dacc6cb0e5f717d.jpg This update brings with it a scene for all our penis-equipped players; a first-pass foot-job scene. For now it's been both added to the general rotation of DSS scenes and also to another Adept at The Great Temple of Anubis. Players are able to indulge in the graces of the Jackal god as one of his devout followers massages their member to completion. Male Armour & Jackal Skins {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/1ef9d181480d64120906e513dcc5baf556621caf.png Finally male-bodied players are able to don the armour of an Anubite Warrior; there are four options to choose from (with female players also now gaining access to the grey Elite Guard variant). As with the female variant, the head and skirt elements are separate and allow for mixing and matching to customise your look. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/7b5f8747a91b5855ab6e1816f6b00aba31ec06aa.jpg We've now added two new skins for the Male Jackal form; the Fennec skin is a male version of the existing Jackal skin, however the Painted Lyca is currently exclusively for male players. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/c105c11889fe95bcc72556d09ad261605afb2e3c.png Female Cosmetics {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/d2b0e99eafe2852754b6fc4cd21a07b3cac96ba7.jpg We've also rounded out our array of reptile skins with the addition of the Deathmarsh and Albino Crocodile options. Though it'll be a while before you meet Nepthys' handmaidens in-game, we thought you should have the chance to get your hands on them sooner rather than later. General Bugfixes/Updates This release also has some quality of life bug fixes to DSS, some NPCs around the world have some texturing issues fixed and the Scribe from Blood Script now has a DSS Scene enabled. {STEAM_CLAN_...Major Content Update & UE5 Dev Blog - New Scenes and Cosmetics!Mar 11, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Everyone! Happy new year! the first Major Content Update for 2023, bringing bug fixes, map changes, a new sex scene and piercings! After we've covered that, I'll give you a huge update on our UE5 progress, timeline and some of our 2023 Roadmap First Threesome DSS Scene {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/4e4c7279d5780ff77b2cdd4cf9e47ae61ebe5e1a.png As we can't bring new features to UE4, the bulk of this update will be quests and/or sex content. This is no exception; v0.3.64 brings our first DSS dry-run implementation of a 3-partner scene. The Adepts of the Jackal Cult are most welcoming and will let you join their ritual, should you desire it. Said ritual involves one Adept riding your face whilst the other pumps your manhood for all it's worth. Currently this provides no boon, however things are different in UE5, and such rituals serve a purpose (beyond mere titillation). Currently the scene is available to futa players only, but will become usable by female and male players soon. New F x F Option - "Serpent's Tail" There have been numerous requests, since the start of the project, for a "strap-on" option. It seemed to us that there is a lot of content which would become accessible to our female players with such an addition, and so we've now added one to the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/7b6c856edddce9704228f58f549cbbb24ecf005a.jpg The Serpent's Tail will allow player's without male genitals to access all those scenes. There are a few scenes with slight bugs (like climax SFX) but these are resolved in UE5 so it's only a short-term issue. Cosmetic Updates - Piercings With our last update to the Daughter of the Void, we added piercings to the game, due to their excellent reception, we've expanded this and added more piercing options! The set we've started with is the Minoan Livestock Tags. These come in a range of options and can be toggled in stages; for now only the "head" and "torso" options are enabled in UE4, but there are "genital" options available in UE5. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/627e72957c238971b8733d0e3f6ffb2ba85432b6.jpg This set works for Males and Females (though the Void Daughter is currently excluded). Adjustment is available in the 'Forms' screen. https://i.imgur.com/qg2O0nF.gif Cosmetic Updates - New Skins & Négligée {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/3eccd70481ee49f11252445c16a9560b8f6f87b6.jpg To bring the Adepts to life we needed some new cosmetics - enter the Beaded Négligée, winner of a poll back in the dim-distant past. There are four versions of this item, matching various other Anubite clothing. Finally, we've also added a new cheetah-inspired skin for Felians, rounding out the 'big cat' collection. Dev Blog & Roadmap Update {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/9c33a29db42f19611538bd4a048e34fd79443544.png So we're finally ready to put some dates to our release schedule, as well as giving you a peek under the hood. This post should help explain our decision making as well as what we want to achieve with the finished game. When we start...Major Content Update - New Scenes and Cosmetics + Dev BlogDec 22, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHey Everyone! Here we have the last Major Content Update for 2022, bringing bug fixes, map changes, a new sex scene and void cosmetics! After we've covered that, I'll give you an update on our UE5 progress, art and environment updates and an insight on what we've been working on that's not ready yet. Centauress Scene With this update Eleia becomes interactive after the quest and is now receptive to the advances of futa players (we have other scenes planned for male and female forms). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/dc9b947d70a172169f0474645d7fdde4b4024bc8.jpg Given her size and strength we also have some more acrobatic interactions in the works to make further use of her assets... among other positions. https://i.imgur.com/sN17y9I.gif This update has been a technically challenging one as we work to improve some of our minor systems - in this case we've approached the way we handle jiggle physics differently for the female Centaur. Void Daughter Update This update brings the new Void Daughter player form. This replaces the old Void Spirit form and differentiates our demonic ladies from their as-yet-unseen matriarch, the Void Mother. They're not yet fully featured, so only one horn variant is available. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/12971c8aab928d7f90064577f3ec656fde55d370.jpg The Void Daughters also feature the first test of piercing cosmetics, something we'll consider rolling out to other races if they prove popular. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/e126c264495eeec6213da46a4070c56bc8539a77.jpg Liquid Gold Bug Fixes This update brings with it a bug-fixed version of Liquid Gold that features additional choices. We've also snuck in some of the mysterious ibis-masked Aethio, though they don't yet have anything to do in UE4. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/7d6ec42744d956ae1ecd5ddb714a40d12e433c5d.jpg The Aethio are the mysterious matriarchal order responsible for childbirth in Sabu. Also colloquially known as "Storks" by the populace, the Aethio arrive at the moment of birth to whisk new-borns away from the accursed sands of the desert kingdom. Those of you who choose to get pregnant, or make others pregnant, in the UE5 build will see more of the Aethio first-hand. We've also included some needed bug fixes with the map, clothing, some DSS scenes and inventory issues which were reported by the community. UE5 Schedule Update In September we did a Community Poll and asked if you would prefer us to continue to split our efforts between our UE5 update and continuing to make UE4 content or to focus on UE5. The community voted overwhelmingly for the move, with only 2% wanting to keep both UE4 and UE5 going in parallel. Once we make the move we'll keep access to the final UE4 build via a separate Steam branch, along with access to the UE5 version. I would also like to address this first, unfortunately UE5 is not coming in 2022, we hate to let you down and this decision was not taken lightly, but we always want to be transparent with you all and it's for a number of Major Re...Major Content Update - Liquid Gold & Dev BlogSep 19, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHey Everyone! Here we have the next Major Content Update for 2022, bringing bug fixes, combat improvements, a new quest and more! After we've covered that, I'll give you an update on our UE5 progress, new WIP Systems and an insight on what we've been working on that's not ready yet. Liquid Gold The people of Aneb Village have been experiencing a new drug problem, some bandit trouble lately and their Town Guard has gone missing. Assist the townspeople and find their missing guard. This quest also brings along with it an early look at the Female Centaur which you will be able to interact with further in a future update. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/37ac5d703307be4fd7754a60e179d763bb1b3810.jpg We don't want to go into too much detail, but we hope you enjoy the quest. New Sex Scenes This update we've brought in two new bribe NPCs which can get you out of trouble with the guards. The new scene features a Dom/Sub sex act, the first of many, with 20 new animations. This is the first of several and marks the start of the crime/punishment system that we're building. This is only the beginning of course, and more serious crimes will eventually land you in prison... or at least require much greater "bribes". The new scenes also enable more Male x Male interactions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/c6d3429a1a4546eeca9c87e67afd764ea0f46be0.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/af21d280ebf8e8ebab05b582662551986131a860.jpg These can be found near the docks and if you're ever stuck trying to find a scene, you can always check out the wiki. New Skins {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/cc3acfe30ff5e8c63a3b9c69748440079e9aa4bb.jpg We now have a Fennec Fox option for female Jackals. Male is in progress and coming soon. In the Pre-Alpha build this is limited to just a material change, altering the fur colour, however when we release Alpha later this year there will be the ability to sport a pair of huge Fennec ears and shrink the muzzle down to match. We considered putting it in sooner, however it's something that is far easier to implement in the overhauled way we've built parts of the game in Unreal Engine 5. We've also added two new skins for the Male Draconid, "Ashen" and "Primevil". New Shield This Carapace Shield is a new equipment item to mix up your outfit. (PSA: Please wash your hands after using this item. The CI development team accept no liability of any fantastical diseases contracted by holding the brainstem of a huge bug for a prolonged period) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/8e6f0d9d9168761d268009d0b26e433af03abec1.jpg UE5 Dev Blog/Behind the Scenes Full Changelog will be found at the end of the blog, but first, a UE5 Development Blog/Update: Stats The Unreal Engine 5 version of Carnal Instinct now features a much deeper approach to the RPG elements of the game. The code for this is almost complete, the artwork is not. We want to give some idea of the updated character screen, though of course please bear in mind that this is "programmer art" using stock visuals in place of...Dev Blog - UE5Jun 23, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHey All, We've been working hard behind the scenes for the last few months alongside our normal development work and we'd like to share that with you! This has been taking up a lot of our time and we've been keeping it a mystery but a few people have already guessed; we're in the process of moving to Unreal Engine 5. Initially we avoided announcing this as we decided to not make the move if it increased the development time of the project. What we've discovered is that we're actually able to reduce overall development time due to efficiencies in our pipeline thanks to Nanite. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/013adda76364204b02740112088aa8f29d6e3f0c.jpg In the image above you can see approximately the same development time applied on both the left and right. Whilst the pillars on the right are still a little work-in-progress, we're able to build a far more richly detailed world in the same amount of time. We're also able to drastically reduce the texture budget, lowering the impact of the game on GPUs with less VRAM. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/bc73ec88b8e05f55a23a01d2ac7fb5e565e7b78d.jpg The fidelity we've been able to achieve is honestly incredible. We're so impressed with the updated engine that we couldn't justify continuing solely in UE4. Despite our initial cynicism, UE5 has won us over. That isn't to say it's without problems, which is why we're running the versions in parallel until we're at Alpha, but the risks are far outweighed by the benefits. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/3667d4d4d64d81588294387b98d38a6e4daf52f1.jpg We've been rescaling our world map to take advantage of the new optimisation features of UE5, resulting in a playable area nine times the size of our current world map (not just the current playable area, the whole map). Wait, I hear you scream, it'll be an unplayable walking simulator! Fear not. In the UE5 build we now have working prototypes of sailing and riding, as well as an early version of transformation into an exotic form. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/2058162848e428f347fb5d83e4ec306ef3119b90.jpg So, what's the difference and how soon can you expect to get your hands on the UE5 version? I think the above image speaks for itself. We haven't yet finalised our small props kit, so the UE5 version is missing the crates, barrels, ropes, and other details that help finalise a scene, yet it's already far more detailed than the UE4 version. In terms of becoming playable we've made some significant progress in that direction, enough that the roadmap isn't particularly accurate, and we're gradually approaching what we consider an Alpha build of CI. Once we have all major systems working in the UE5 build, we'll push it live and keep the UE4 as legacy. We will likely make use of the Steam Branch system to allow access to both builds until UE5 is a true replacement to the UE4 version. We hope you're as excited as we are for the incredible boost towards true AAA quality that we've managed to make with the upgrade to the game engine. I wa...Major Content Update - Dynamic Sex SystemJun 17, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHey Everyone! Here we are at last with the next Major content update for Steam, we've been working hard for the last 3 months on this content update that we're happy to share with you all and excited for to play! This update brings the new Dynamic Sex System, Clothing, NPC Models a new Quest, Dungeon Overhauls, Bug Fixes and more! Dynamic Sex System We had always planned on further developing the Sex Scenes in the game, and we've taken a big step forward with this update with the first release of the Dynamic Sex system. We've made huge changes behind the scenes to the characters and the animations to make this possible. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/555e6a770a5967078e99794e9a421c2de5d7f344.jpg There are now Dynamic Sex NPCs around the world which you can spot with your Carnal Instinct what "equipment" your partner is packing can be ascertained from their colour in this vision, with males (blue), females (pink), and futa (purple) standing out as unique tones. Eventually environmental hazards and sexual props will also have highlights in this view. https://i.imgur.com/eY6hCPf.gif Encounters will now also level up your Carnal Instinct, eventually unlocking unique dialogue options, interactions, and sex acts (coming soon). Additionally, your sexual prowess and stamina will improve along with your Carnal Instinct level (the ability to lock pleasure will eventually be gated to higher level Carnal Instinct). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/622fcffe5cb39214583b3ee43d36616e89cfa99d.jpg With a new in-scene UI, you're able to switch and adjust camera, adjust the pose and depth of the act, speed or slow the pace, toggle the UI, lock the progression towards climax, and manually climax. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/a994631c84f4dced1ed82b9785d98dd203d27e9a.jpg We hope that you enjoy the new range of Sex Scenes which are available around the world and give you greater control than before. New Dynamic Sex Scene Scene List at this time: "FlatIron" Missionary Cowgirl "TwistedMiss" Missionary These are available for the following combinations at this time: Male x Female Futa x Female Futa x Futa The Dynamic Sex System allows for us to expand and add more sex scenes with more variations, scenes and combinations than ever and we will continue to add more to the system with future updates. We hope you enjoy this major addition to the game! https://i.imgur.com/Bthppuq.gif New Playable Race - Crocodilian {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/6cc231eb962647645dbef62d9d274d4496669c8d.jpg We teased them a while back with the inclusion of the High Priestess' Attendant Nepthys, but we didn't have the time we wanted to improve her visuals and make crocs a playable species. We've finally overhauled the model and textures however, and now Female Crocodiles (technically Female Crocodilians) are playable. They currently come with two skins, so you can match the Priestess' Attendant or mix things up.

This is the first Major Content Update for 2022, it's a little earlier than expected but there were some performance improvements and dire needed bug fixes that we needed to push a month early. This update comes with the new Male Jackal form a new Quest to aid a village, a huge array of bug fixes and a UI Overhaul. First Non-Human Male You can now stride over the sands with the likeness of Anubis as this update brings with it the first non-human male form to the game; the Jackal. Unlock this by completing Diamond in the Rough along with the Female Jackal form. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/bb58f8360dcca8068dcee395f1f9faa1cbc9d62c.png Save/Load Changes We have made major changes to the Saving system, streamlining it further and optimizing the way it loads the core dialog and quest system which in our tests has proven to be a dramatic improvement for those players who were having the worst issues. We upgraded this system during the winter winds update and despite this being a general improvement for most, some players had it worse than ever and we had to address this immediately. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/6a465fbadae2a9836940d9fd5758e52d7022c68e.png Despite this improvements and their backwards compatibility, we would always for the Major Content Updates recommend that you start a new save and we have added a new warning message in-game when you attempt to load an old save to show you all this. You will not be able to complete new content on old saves for most, if not all, major content updates until the map and core systems are completed. UI Overhaul We spent a lot of time this update working on our inventory management system, now each slot is selectable and has it's own tab for you to select your equipment. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/442c84baca065c2b09997e1d18940eb96d49ad6f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/6d2cd9d92bc7db6e1affd28c727f16b30b4f167c.png Dialog UI Improvements During Dialog, you can now use the Keyboard keys 1,2,3,4 etc to choose dialog choices and spacebar to skip or select choices. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/d645dbc83bb4ad39f8e9157831f818e3ef596d4e.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/4d598a818bdb40c8ee5da5803c447715ac323826.png Performance Improvements We're very aware that we've been creeping up in performance requirements lately and so this update we did a bit of spring cleaning early! We've boosted FPS and lowered CPU usage across the board by optimization in dialog cameras, NPCs roaming around the world, textures, particles and more! We're always working on continually improving the performance in the game and we're currently prototyping some much more radical changes. Combat We've changed our targeting system, moving back to our previous system with dynamic targeting. We felt that managing two combat targeting systems(which is what we had) ended up being messy and not what we intended; now we're focusing on polishing and making one system. Additionally, a change some of you will notice is that thrust attack is now ...v0.3.23 HotfixDec 30, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsAdded torches as a craftable option with the Blacksmith for 10 gold Added a quest notify so once you complete Law and Order it'll be easier to get directed to Winter Winds Re-Added the Slaver to the docks to help introduce some newer players to the game and help with first quests Fixed an issue with the Toses and Dragon cutscenes which can result in the player not dying and being stuck in dialog Fixed a major issue with Law and Order that can prevent progression of Ranno's Dialog, preventing the player from completing Winter Winds Fixed an issue with the Cook's Jail which could prevent some players from unlocking the cook Fixed an issue with the door in Milk and Honey so it will load in fully open if you save with the door partially open Fixed an issue where crafting an upgraded version of an item would remove it from the player equipment but not properly remove the applied stats/effects (fixing slow dagger attacks) Made changes the system which loads the player equipment in the main menu to try and prevent issues for some players Changed multiple Dialog cameras Changed the Skeleton that can be found in Diamond in the Rough and Milk and honey which can cause some collision issues Changed the Raving Citizen's dialog so you can speak to them after Law and Order has completed Major Content Update - Winter WindsDec 24, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsV0.3.22 Major Steam Content Update and Bug Fixes Hey Everyone! This is the last Major Content Update for 2021, though there will be plenty more to come throughout 2022. It's a chunky amount of content however, with new quests, NPCs, adult content, crafting, and a sackful of bugfixes to boot. Winter Winds Our new seasonal content features the addition of a huge new 'Extreme Exotic NPC' in the form of an Ancient Dragon (yes, she has adult content). This massive addition to the world isn't just for Christmas though, she's integral to a side story that we'll continue to develop in the coming months. For now she has only a single scene (it's repeatable), but this will expand over time. As part of the Winter Winds content, players can also now craft the Frost-Forged Weapons. Currently these are a damage upgrade on the lower tier, however we'll be adding elemental effects to these (and other unique items) in time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/921527ef19244865d2e6357a2889bd2249bdd415.png Looking Good As we work towards remaking the clothing to be compatible with the customisation system, we've entirely remade our Anubite Warriors. We're aiming to make all our new content to this much higher standard, as we try to bring the look of the game as close to AAA as possible for a 5-person indie team. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/ac1349c06694156fb31a46218757a17b8124f9fb.png Not only are our new Anubites more detailed as NPCs, but all of the garments are usable to the player - you can even mix and match the head, chest, and lowerbody sections. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/285d58d3b97096d22f99f252b2866300a988227f.png Playable Races It wouldn't be a major update without a new species to explore the world with. To this end we've added the new Female Jackal form. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/5ce92350a5d92c4da9a02cf936539377853fd774.png Our Demi-Human races (Hybrids) have also been reintroduced to the game, so the 'Egyptian Deity' aesthetic is once more a playable option. All these and the new Jackal forms are entirely compatible with the customisation, so play with those sliders to your heart's content. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/f24f470d0690513ac2a99f4b6b13f72e692ce886.png New Quests This update brings with it another new, voice-acted quest, on top of the one included as part of the Winter Winds content. Law & Order Tasks you with tracking down a thief who has been plaguing the markets by the docks, something the Merchant's Guild is none too happy about. This of course means more NPCs, so we're also introducing the NPC-only Minoan race in this update. Not every species is elegant and athletic, these hulking brutes are far more interested in counting their profits than in gallivanting about, as you'll discover in future updates. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/925652f0c1d612dc6a88533c408cf679edb9071e.png Bringing the World to Life Various new tweaks have also taken place with the world, from adjustments to lighting to the addition of new ambient particles.

We're here at last with a Major Content Update for Steam ahead of the Christmas Update which will mark the last major update on Steam for 2021 (we have a tonne of content planned for 2022). Those of you that follow our Discord news will already be aware that one of our team was injured in a violent attack that put us behind for a month or so, they've now recovered and the spade with which they were attacked has been immortalised in-game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/0774b09fb00e34d429f7e7aecc2a75d5d8d726ed.png The bulk of this update is fleshing out the art, world, and systems to enable the next phase of the main story. This does mean that there isn't any new major quest content in this update, though some such as Milk & Honey have a few alternative options along the way. Halloween Content Accursed Tales Sit beside the campfire to discover a further secret of the kingdom's past. Use your newfound knowledge to search for the other Halloween content or perhaps avoid the dangers altogether... New 'Cursed Felian' Playable Race Stride across the sands of Sabu in a body that has almost totally succumbed to the Curse of Kethra. Member of Pure Essence Equip yourself with a manhood forged from the souls of those poor unfortunates that fell to the God Queen's Curse. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/4b64460acd409f52c6e109476bb771ae938b3baa.png Character Customisation We have undertaken a visual overhaul of our player models, with both Felians and Draconids sporting all-new models. Our beautiful cat-girls now look far less like teddybears than they previously did. https://i.imgur.com/DXLdSGD.gif You can now pick your starting sex and ethnicity from the very start of the game, with new forms, skins, and details unlocking as you discover them in the world. You can shape your body, from breast size to bodyfat and other options besides. This does mean that unfortunately most clothing is not compatible with the new system and will not be usable yet in-game, this will be updated and the clothing will added back with a BONUS update to Steam, in addition to the usual release schedule. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/5c66621962ead9b6d6235d2998340b7290271785.png The available species are currently limited to Humans (Male, Female, Futa), Draconids (Female, Futa), Felians (Female, Futa), and Cursed Felians (Female, Futa). Due to incompatibility with the new customisation system the Demi-Humans (human/anthro hybrids) have been temporarily removed but will be added back in a subsequent patch. The next major update at Christmas will bring Canines to the world of Carnal Instinct, with Jackals making their first appearance (without a mask at least). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/fe3023214cda919cf3f964e36f6f75fd64d7f093.png Combat Upgrades You can now face your foes with daggers, longswords, spears, and a spade.

There is limited content for Males at this time, however a range of scenes will work for them and more will come in the next update (along with bugfixes etc). https://i.imgur.com/KR0AQWf.gif Additionally this update expands the map, overhauls the sky and lighting for the game, and enables the Day/Night cycle.

Diamond in the Rough The High Priestess at the temple will not speak with you, but her attendant Nepthys suggests a way to earn her trust. The catch? You must travel to the vast tomb of a long-dead god and face the evil that lurks beneath the sands. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/01edadfc44bf86b729a7f2887a93c6e124e7a806.png Tales of the Void A lone survivor escapes alive from exploring an ancient and forgotten tomb.

MINI-BOSS FIGHTS The enemies too have got an upgrade, aside from general improvements with the rank and file mobs, June brings two new Mini-bosses for you to tussle with... The Inquisitor Of Bast An Inquisitor of Bast is a zealot among zealots. Standing for the teachings of the Cat Goddess Bast, Inquisitors swing their huge blades in a whirling dance of righteous fury. For now the only option is to kill or be killed, though the future holds many possibilities... The Tomb Guardian All that is known of this hulking horror is that it lurks in the dark halls of the Tomb of the Ascended, the last resting place of countless Demigods. The earth trembles with its footfalls and the ancient chambers echo with the cries of its dying victims. This challenge will not be for the feint of heart {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/7a514cfe3fc3c3c7bd3acfe2039a8b461357fb1b.png Adult Scenes Concubine Face-Sitting Lay down and let her take control.

We appreciate that it has been a while but we've been hard at work making the game. Bear in mind that we're a team of five, but we're making big steps forward with all components of the project, from NPCs to narrative to mechanics and more. We can't yet specify when we anticipate the game leaving Early Access, but we'd estimate 12 - 18 months based on our initial scope alongside the content that players have requested and we've decided to implement. That said, we're aware that the overall scope of the project is probably not your top priority right now so, without further delay, here's what you can expect in the first content update when it arrives in June... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39368406/c40d73b4aedac041c5be96c5dd33d3741b74196d.png NEW CONTENT - JUNE 2021 There is a wealth of content coming to Steam in the June Content Update, from quests to genitals, combat upgrades to new adult scenes. ADULT SCENES It wouldn't really be a real update without new adult content now would it? There's a wide range to choose from and remember what they say - variety is the spice of... wait, is that giant snake girl about to suck my d*ck? New sex scenes coming to Steam in June include...

Human Head (Female) Not a fan of wandering the dunes with an animal head? Well this is the option for you. Exactly what it sounds like, Humans are entering Sabu! (Males to follow in subsequent content update). Void Spirit Give in to the call of The Void and don the appearance of a Void Spirit.
