Course of Temptation November Update Early Access (v0.5.5) (Patreon)

Early access to the November update is here!

This update focuses mainly on extending existing systems, adding the ability to select starting inclinations for your character, an aftercare system that follows after many encounters, and the ability to get professor phone numbers and date them in secret.

This update also adds the Riverside Motel, which can be used for stealthy encounters or as a (rather expensive) home base in town.

I'll be spending the next couple of days polishing this update further, adding some small misc things I didn't quite have time for, and adding in some more contributions, a couple of which are quite sizable.

I'll also fix whatever bugs crop up, so if you're encountering a problem and it's been a day or two since you downloaded your version, check the early access site again and make sure there isn't a newer version available. I'll also announce new versions in the Discord.

As always, a huge thanks to the contributors who added to this update.

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

Release notes

You can now choose some inclinations when creating your character to define your starting personality

Added Lucky inclination: sometimes produces better than expected outcomes from skillchecks, and reduces the chances of wardrobe malfunctions

Added Unlucky inclination: sometimes produces worse than expected outcomes from skillchecks, and increases the chances of wardrobe malfunctions

Added Iron Will inclination: Always perform a bit better at Willpower skillchecks

Added Easily Pressured inclination: Always perform a bit worse at Willpower skillchecks

Favorite positions are now proper inclinations and can be unlocked by the player

Added colored contacts as a new cosmetics option

Each eye is an individual cosmetics slot, so your character can now have heterochromatic eyes

Implemented aftercare system, which will come between the end of (some) encounters and resuming the story, and will allow for things like the alleviation of effects from negative Fleeting Feelings, Romance attitude increases, and resuming the encounter for round two

Edited a few pre-0.5 events that failed to acknowledge relationships: discovering the Regisaur, the cheerleader-footballer post-game, and spreading rumors

You can now universally adjust butt size with a new worldgen slider

Bulletin board conspiracy lore expands once more (contributed by RyDog)

Some new books have arrived (contributed by Meat Glacier)

Added a new wardrobe malfunction event at the pool (contributed by RyDog)

Once you’ve crossed a certain line with your professors, you may be able to get their phone number and may be able to see them outside of class

You may now be recognized by friends and not-so-friendly people when on hangouts and dates in public

If you’re with somebody you shouldn’t be while in public, being recognized will lead to increased suspicion about what you’re doing with your date partner

Once suspicion is maxed, the secret relationship may become exposed. Your secret partner will be reluctant to be seen in public, but may still agree to see you privately

A fully exposed secret relationship will be treated as confirmed cheating by any exclusive romantic partner (Currently there are no direct consequences for an exposed relationship with faculty, but they’ll be coming!)

Secret relationship suspicion will begin decaying naturally when you haven’t been seen in public together recently

Added the Riverside Motel near the River Rat on Yohimbe Street, which can be used for secret liaisons and as a home base in town (for a per-night cost, of course)

Streaming has been updated to allow you to stream from your motel room if you have a laptop, with the major advantage being that you don’t have to worry about being interrupted

NPCs may now refuse to date if your reputation or inclinations go against their own inclinations. For now this is reserved for fairly extreme mismatches and can be overcome by high favorable attitudes

Many fixes and tweaks
