Course of Temptation August Update Early Access (v0.5.2) (Patreon)

Early access to the August update is here! This update continues to extend some relationship stuff, but we're also moving into some other side content and addressing other things that need a little attention.

As usual, you can expect a few updates through early access week, including bugfixes and more content additions. I received some contributions yesterday and today that haven't made it in yet that I definitely want to do before the public release, and I'll add in some things of my own as well, so this changelog will definitely expand. Any updates that aren't just routine bugfixes will be announced in the Discord, or you can just check back in on the early access itch page.

In this update, the librarian's extra credit tasks transition into a weekly library basement event where you can either bring your sub or participate as a sub yourself. There is a lot of potential in this area and you can expect to see additional content for it in future updates.

Some fixes and additions have made poly and open partners both much more common and easier to find, and relationships should be a bit more stable in general with the fixing of some edge cases. For group hangouts, you can now choose exactly who's invited.

Just for fun, we've also added a variety of small pets. These will be good for a quick, small boost to your Attention and Relaxation needs.

Contributors have also added a bunch of new clothing items, helped expand the starting selection of pets, and other stuff. Thanks for your hard work, as always!

Please find your link to early access just below these release notes. And as always, thank you for your support!

Release notes

Renamed Drunkenness to Intoxication

Added new Findr tags to help you find NPCs into open and poly relationships

Hang on, did you know non-special NPCs weren’t actually spawning with open or poly inclinations? Neither did I! Oops! But they do now (this fix is retroactive and doesn’t require generating a new world)

The tendency for NPCs to have Polyamorous and Open Relationships inclinations can now be affected by a new worldgen slider

The BFF relationship event now offers a polyamorous option

Exploring an open or poly relationship with your BFF will now unlock the corresponding inclination

Open relationships are now romantically non-exclusive, just to simplify things until relationships can have individual characteristics

You can now reorder your outfits in the Wardrobe UI

When starting a group hangout, you can now decide exactly who is invited

Removed the round limit on encounters (this was really just a holdover from before they could be ended at any time)

Some of the more common hassling events now have a chance of being stopped cold if your Physicality is high

You can now deliberately do poorly when playing at the arcade, but it doesn’t impress your competition!

Added Sensitive Nipples inclination

Certain inclinations now remove arousal caps from certain acts during encounters (for example, Sensitive Nipples lets you achieve peak arousal through just nipple play)

Added Strip action to encounters to undress all at once

Discussing an ongoing relationship now includes options for attempting to change it to a dom or sub relationship

New cheat options allow you to freeze the adding or removing of relationships, meaning you won’t get events like new friends or breakups

Campus is a little breezier thanks to a new event (contributed by RyDog)

Added recurring Porn Addict event. More content for them will be on the way!

Many fixes and tweaks
