Course of Temptation November Update Early Access (v0.5.5)
🕑 Added 2024-10-31 20:59:48 +0000 UTC
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

Yea, that's what it was! Awesome good to hear!

From the mayberecognizedondate widget or whatever it's called? That should be fixed in the current build, 0.5.5b

I get huge block errors while I'm hanging out with people saying something along the lines of and it's a huge red square while I'm on my hangout.

I'm new here sorry lol I saw in one of the updates that there were D/s relationships in game, I'm wondering how to unlock or start those interactions or events?
Chris Sommercorn
Thank you. I'm a bit embarrassed. My old downloads were interfering with this one somehow despite not being installed. Got rid of those and it installed just fine. The issue was on my end, not yours.
Anarchothaumaturgist
Also passing along this from Keina: "lately i've seen a rise in this error in samsung S24, assuming it is this case, these are the steps to install Navigate to "Settings" Select the option "Security and privacy" Select "App Security" Select "App protection" In the upper right hand corner select the "3 dots" for settings and select "App protection settings" Slide the toggle-button to the "OFF" position I would highly advise against doing this for all apps, unless you can confirm it is from a safe source (like our apk)"
Anarchothaumaturgist
Ok, some things to try: 1) Try redownloading, if you haven't already. 2) The error may result from trying to install an older version over a newer one... probably not relevant, but maybe a fresh install will help? 3) It could be an antivirus triggering (the file is clean, but HTML games seem to get a lot of false positives)
Anarchothaumaturgist
Hmmm. It works as expected for me. I'll ask the devs who put together the apk version and see if they know what would cause that.
Chris Sommercorn
It downloads fine. Then I get a prompt to install application. I hit install and it begins installing, followed by an error message reading, "Application didn't install."

Ah okay, thank you so much
Anarchothaumaturgist
Oh, this is a bug! Thanks for letting me know. I'm just now deploying a hotfix that will fix it. As for the system itself, it should come up pretty rarely, but when it does they'll tell you the reason.

Would it be possible for there to be an option to toggle off the NPCs refusing to date you if you have mismatched inclinations? Or a tooltip that explains which inclinations are incompatible? Since the update literally everyone is refusing to go on a date with my PC and everyone of findr with the romance tag doesn't swipe back.
Anarchothaumaturgist
Thanks for letting me know. Is it working any better now that I've updated the build? If not, where exactly is it going wrong?
Chris Sommercorn
Having difficulty downloading this update on Android. Windows file worked fine on PC. This is the first download issue I've had with early access.

Anthaum you're awesome! Hats off for sticking to the schedule, and what quality stuff - without fail! Please don't change a thing!

Ah okay, thank you for clarifying!
Anarchothaumaturgist
I meant more like dating
ѕℓєєρу кιиg
For seeing the professors outside of class would those spots be the locations on their schedule you see in game? Or is it more like planned hookups?

YASSSSS TY
