Hi all,
We're here with one of the last updates of the year, with at least one more chunky release to come in 2024. We aim to release some of the content out into a third update, dropping earlier, but we'll decide based on stability in the coming week or so.
This update reintroduces a character from UE4, the Void Daughter, along with a dungeon and the first stage of a void-themed DSS scene. Venture into the depths beneath the dunes, uncovering this long-forgotten inhabitant of the void... the space between spaces.
This will be the first taste of the void in UE5, but there is a quest chain planned to delve further into the secrets of these ethereal beings. To complement the new content there is a substantial amount of artwork, but we'll come to that further in the development update when we talk about the other upcoming 2024 content.
Various parts of the map have received a visual update, especially those that lay on the approach to what will soon be the Minoan city of Kusu. From the mud-huts of the workers to the elaborate residences of the elites.

These new areas are not without danger however, and new threats lurk amidst Sabu's dunes... hunting the skies of the desert kingdom. Here and there you can already encounter the some of these, with various locations in the world that invite danger for the unwary...


Upcoming 2024 Content
A lot of what we've been working on is almost - but not quite - ready to release. Therefore the December Patreon updates for Carnal Instinct will be quite broad in the type of content they include...

Firstly and most importantly (echo's note: it's an objective fact that things with scales are the most essential) the Drake will finally arrive in some form. Each is unique, but these sentient creatures sit somewhere between the Draconid and a full blown Dragon.

The Drake is a particularly flexible creature, and can contort itself into many potential positions... for the right mate of course. A Drake won't be interested in just anyone, rather they will have to be enticed with gold, jewels, and other shiny trinkets. Must be all that Dragonblood in their veins.
We also intend to implement the Naga before the end of the year, however that is currently less complete and not in a state to show off any "beauty shots".
Faction quests are on the menu for December too, with the first chunk of the Inquisitor's of Bast questline releasing before Christmas. The dark tombs beneath the quiet sands have allowed the zealots to bide their time, now they seek to strike... to reclaim Sabu in the name of the Usurper Queen Bast.

There are several large dungeons coming in December, so it should provide a strong mix of new gameplay and adult content. It's hard to showcase these things without too many spoilers, so these screenshots will have to suffice for now. If you want to keep up with the more detailed development in the coming weeks then make sure to check out "#behind-the-scenes" on our Discord.

We also have the Temple of Jedet dropping, a gloryhole-filled shrine devoted to the well-hung Ram demigod himself. Players will be able to give and/or recieve a servicing at one of the temple's several "ritual openings".
This massive, subterranean vault is a perfect rest-stop to take a load... what was I saying again? There will be quests set here in 2025, however for the time being it's just a place to give or receive oral.

Confirmed Q1 2025 Content
Other areas of the map have already been set-dressed in anticipation of upcoming quests, including the return of our bookish draconid girl from UE4, Ahmes. We also have the first arc of the Anubites quests as well as a very extensive quest to become a slave (and everything that entails). Multiple new enemy types are also in the works so very much watch this space!

Romance quests too are being further fleshed out, with Damaris receiving the next stage as well as the introduction of the first male Romance NPC, Denn.

Whew, that was a marathon to draft... well hopefully it conveys at least a taste of what we've been working on. There is more in the works than we can properly convey in a single post, but you should have your hands on a great deal of it soon.
Thank you so much for your incredible support. As we've now shifted into content mode you can expect far more gameplay and scenes in each update as we move forward, with the Patreon December update being a good example. This is only possible thanks to your incredible support.

Thank you for all the great work so far. I do have a couple of questions. 1) When will I be able to make a male avatar? 2)when will you bring the avatar to become void daughter in the v5.22 version?
Chandler
Or at least how to find them

Does anybody know about steam keys

Came to the comments hoping to see someone bringing this up! Most of the clothes are glitched/don't even show up when you put them on

Has anyone else dealt with Lovense no longer working due to this update? I've uninstalled/reinstalled both my patreon and steam versions. Along with the lovense remote app on my phone and PC. Yet no matter which I choose and even override the IP it doesn't detect it. Tried with other partnered Lovense games and they all work fine. I hope this bug gets fixed soon! This is my fave game!
First_Core2020
When will the costume bug be fixed?
Santiago Mahamud
any chance you can add water interaction physics? breaks immersion swimming in water that has no interaction with players. Ark ascended is a good way to check out what i mean.
Nordilus
i think so with every update you have to start over again
martpe
Does anyone know how to get the updated version?
Abduscan04
I tried it and it worked... for about 2 seconds, then it came back and said it was a virus and removed it from both my computer and the excluder system.

Have you tried setting an exception for the carnal instinct stuff? https://www.mcafee.com/support/s/article/000001661
jehovanboy87

I am so excited keep up the amazing work and thank you
Kenneh Breen
Also, the loading and major glitches are very rampant in this to start off, and often pauses but sends me miles away in the game once it unfreezes. Is there a setting I can change to prevent that?
Kenneh Breen
I just started, and am new but do I get to change from "formless" eventually to be able to do the "naughty" things on here?

You guys are amazing, keep it up! I just want to ask you a question. I really like to customize the character with the clothing and make a lot of combinations. Let me give you an example: I saw a male dracoid slave at The Glided Fold who had his slave clothing but I only have the female version. So I wanted to ask if you are working on clothing that I can wear as well and not just NPCs. Thank you you are doing a great job.
Taylor Morehouse
This is awesome! I'm a bit of a newby to this game and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Also really nice to see regular "real" updates to a Patreon supported project. Keep up the excellent work and Ill be happy to continue support!
Deckdragon
When might the Slime in a Jar be added to UE5
Sparks McDougal
Are there any plans to reimplement cum inflation? Other than that question, I'm excited for these updates. You're all doing amazing work!
