Dev report #39 - Carnal Contract
🕑 Added 2024-03-17 12:08:08 +0000 UTCHey Patrons,
here is our new dev report with exciting news about Carnal Contract and some info about our new game!
CARNAL CONTRACT NEWS & PLAN
Season 1 has concluded, and we've reached the end. The whole idea was that Season 1 shows the MC in challenging situations where he needs to complete weird challenges in order to help people he is close to.
The season wraps up with an intimate moment involving one of the love interests (which you choose) setting the stage for Season 2.
In this next season, the MC begins a sort of relationship with his LI, yet with a twist - he now leads the ancient cult.
This introduces a new struggles as the MC steps into the shoes of a bad guy (master). The question now is, which path will he choose? With control in his hands, he has the power to steer the game in a new direction, potentially avoiding forcing others into the challenges he once faced.
For season 1, I acknowledge there are aspects of the game that need improvement. In the first few episodes, there's a noticeable lack of relationship building between characters and the MC, as well as among other characters.
While developing, I tried to address these issues in upcoming episodes but didn't go back to revise previous ones, this is now on our schedule.
We plan to make some adjustments in the all episodes, such as:
- Adding more animations and renders in an intimate moment with Becky in Episode 8, the moments with Nicole and Diane are much richer in renders and animations, making the scene with Becky feel lacking. (already working on it)
- Addressing the annoying behaviour of Becky in the first episodes. (already working on it)
- Enhancing the relationship between Nicole and Becky, as currently, players don't see their relationship as sisters.
- Modifying the scene where players are forced to attend a party and sleep with Casandra, this will be made optional, and an alternative scene will be added. (already working on it)
- Fix the part where MC is forced to tell Nicole about the game
- Improving the music and sounds in the first 6 episodes
- And more...
All these fixes and improvements will be made before we launch the game on Steam, and it will be available to you on Patreon once it is done.
I will post a report about these matters in our upcoming dev reports. However, keep in mind that it will take time because it's not so easy to change parts of the story, which most of these fixes involve. We won't publish the game on Steam until everything is fixed, even if that means we will have to delay the game's release there.
This week, we created two more animations for the intimate scene with Becky in Episode 8, but we will make further improvements to the scene before releasing an update.
Stay with us, and please let me know if you think some more things should be changed or improved to make this game even better.
You can fill out this form and write your suggestions HERE.
We plan to start working on a new season after the new game is completed. But you can expect at least one more update of Season 1 (with fixes) in the next two months.
SO YES, THERE WILL BE A NEW SEASON OF CARNAL CONTRACT!
-------------------------------------------
NEW GAME - I HAVE KNOWN YOU
After inheriting the house of his late grandfather, MC returns to the hometown he thought would forever leave behind, forcing him to confront his deepest fears. Now spirits from the past are awakened, and MC is not the only one returning to the place where secrets can no longer be kept in the shadows.
THIS GAME IS FULL OF MYSTERY, STRUGGLE, SEX, EXCITEMENT and the past events that hunt you down. The process of making LI yours won't be an easy one also. You'll need to put in the effort and be careful not to let the past get in the way.
This story-driven game will have a strong focus on relationship-building and character development. There won't be any out-of-context scenes, and girls won't spread their legs when MC says hi. You will need to work for it.
Those girls on image above are the first one made for this game, in the upcoming weeks we will introduce them one by one for you :)
Here's where we stand with the first episode:
- Story: 100%
- Renders: 30%
- Animations: 10%
- Development: 0%
I don't have a date for when the first release will be launched, but I think it will be ready around May 1, 2024. Maybe earlier if we cut some scenes and launch a demo before the full Episode 1 is complete.
Thank you for all the support you have given me until now. I will do my best not to disappoint you and to make this game a masterpiece.
Without your support, this would not be possible.
Thank you,
Dotty

Hey Anthony, thank you! It's always nice to hear that others are understanding :) Its a long ride working on AVNS :)

Hey Jeff! Thank you for all your support. You made my time working on CC much less stressful because I didn't have to worry about everyone getting their answers on our Discord. I hope my shoutouts for you when your project goes live will be enough to give something back to you :) You are the best!
Dotty Diaries Game
Hey! Nice words! Thank you :) I'm glad that you like the game. I believe when I fix some lacking parts of the story in CC, it will be even better. Also, the new game will be amazing. I've learned so much from working on CC that I will implement from the first render in "I Have Known You!"

Hey, thank you! For now, I will make 1-2 updates of CC (fixing the season and adding more scenes) parallel with a new game, then I will focus only on the new game for a while. If everything goes smoothly, then maybe I will be able to work on both of them in parallel, but I'm not sure yet. At the moment, I plan to work on 1 game, and switch to other in stages. :)

thats a lot of great (and very cool) news. ><i> In the first few episodes, there's a noticeable lack of relationship building between characters and the MC</i> I didn't mind it - as the MC was in shock and focused on adjusting to the new reality now found to be in. >will take time perfectly understandable. don't rush.

Thanks Dotty. I'll be watching the development closely as always and will try to keep active on Discord for you. My time is increasingly taken up with my group's game but I will be on hand, should you need anything, so don't be afraid to ask!

Stellar update Dotty! Having just finished my 1st playthrough of CC, many of the games "rough edges" are still fresh in my mind, and I am seriously impressed with your attention to detail & commitment to quality! I wrote a review via the prompt at the end and overall I think CC is already one of the best AVNs I've ever experienced. After all the updates you mentioned are finished, I'm sure CC will be part of AVN Mount Rushmore--right up there with the likes of Being a DIK, Chasing Sunsets, Leap of Faith, Depraved Awakening, etc. Very much of a fan of your style, direction, & vision. One helluva release for a first game. Awesome developer! Definitely looking forward to what you got cooking up in the future. Bravo!

Thanks for the update! This is awesome news, looks like this new game has the potential to be very exciting. Also looking forward to a season 2 of CC. Does this mean both will be in development at the same time, or will it be focussing on 1 game then switching to the other in stages?
