From the entire Carnal Instinct Team, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We made it, the final update of 2021. What a wild ride this year has been, with mountains more content and systems in-game than we envisioned at the start. The project has progressed so far and we're pushing forward faster than ever.
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.
For those who don't want to replay all quests to access the most recent content we've also added an "extras" menu. Not only can you skip to the latest quest (Law & Order), but this will also unlock most races. It's also possible to kill the player (to respawn if stuck out of bounds etc).

We've updated our roadmap to remove confusion. Despite the roadmap having always stated that it's a live document and features may expand or shift as development progresses, we felt that having features tied to specific months created too much expectation and limited our ability to work flexibly (one of the few strengths of a small team).
For this reason we have removed the dates and shifted to a new set of categories:
- Completed Content
- In-Development
- Planned Content
Within the "In-Development" section we further break this down into what elements are approaching implementation (GREEN), in the midst of development but not ready for release (YELLOW), and those which are only in the prototype stage (RED).

We ask that you continue to judge the pace of development based on our delivery each month, rather than a spreadsheet, but we like to have the document available to give a slice of what we have planned. The roadmap itself will be updated in the new year to take account of the species and other recent polls, bringing some species and sex scenes nearer to implementation.
Thank you so much for making this entire beautiful dream possible, we're forever grateful for the overwhelming support shown to us by this community. We're excited for everything planned in 2022 and for making so many of your requests a reality, watch this space!
Much love to all of you, have a great New Year!
Team Carnal Instinct

It seems the bug where your character fails to properly leave swim status has managed to linger around. Played for over a half hour, then got out of a river and... the hill already brought me higher than the water, so I just floated in the air and couldn't get back down. At least until this bug is dead for good, is there any chance we can get a debug option that just resets the player to terrain height? Or maybe make is so when you use the 'kill player' feature in extras, it clears terrain navigation flags to default status. I'd forgotten to turn autosave back on while unlocking stuff again to check out new features and lost a frustrating amount of time.
Not that I know of.
Yes I'm having same issue!

my weapon smith didn't have it as an option. I guess I'll just start over. I lost a ceremonial vase to complete a separate task anyway.
Breezy Trice
excellent, thank you.
Michael Adelsperger

Draco Talon

Hello everyone. Question: has anyone else had their torch disappear from inventory? Now I may have very well absentmindedly sold the 2 I had to a merchant or something, I just can't remember. Anyways, if anyone has experienced this, or if Carnal Instinct sees this (LOVE THIS GAME!!) - then I just have 1 question: where can one find a 3rd torch? Thanks in advance. ๐ค๐ค๐ค

abe101
question how do you interact with the dragon I found her but yeah thats it.
love the quest skip lol cant wait for the quest for that fake god to be complete lol
Joker Lugnut
There was a small confusion I found. I can't remember the name of the quest, but the one where you bring the two demi felians together. It said that one of them had a special reward, but neither do or say anything once the quest is done. I don't know it the scene just hasn't been added, or if it's a glitch. I just wanted to bring it up.

Can I expect a lot more votes? For example: To say that Ooze Pools will be earlier than the Greater Demoness
Draco Talon

Loving the progress you've made on the game so far. Keeps getting better and better. Just curious, where does the photo studio mode fall on the roadmap? I looked but couldn't find it.
