Course of Temptation October Update Early Access (v0.5.4)
🕑 Added 2024-09-30 20:29:57 +0000 UTC
Early access to the October update is here!
The largest focus in this update is Harvest Eve, a holiday at the end of Gourdtober and the game's first seasonal event. During the last week of Gourdtober, a seasonal pop-up shop will appear to sell costumes. Through the week, more and more people will get into the spirit, culminating in a Harvest Eve party on Friday.
The People dialog also got some UI improvements, you now have the ability to save cosmetics sets, and there are miscellaneous clothes and other new items.
I'm not done with this update yet, so I'll be spending the rest of the week continuing to go down my current shortlist of additions, most of which are suggestions from players.
So, as often happens, the changelog will expand on the way to public release. Any updates that aren't just routine bugfixes will be announced in the Discord, or you can just check back in on the early access itch page in a couple days.
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!

Just to give extra feedback to leotard thing, when the MC make a dancing stream and wear leotard with skirt the leotard is like it's not there. Wearing underwear - leotard - skirt and make a twerk the comments texting about the underwear. Wearing leotard - skirt and twerking.... then there are comments for MC private areas.

I like to believe the reason the Elk appeared in 1914 was because it was actually a Serbian Nationalist named Gavrilo Princip in disguise- "He knows too much, get him!"

Thanks for the answer! I understand what you saying for the layers for the clothes :). It didn't bother me that there were a lot of people inside the bar... it was Friday a night out for many of the community so it was cool! Also the number changes as the time passes element that gives an organic aspect to each location! The new add on with the numbers in combination with the new icons made my gameplay experience really smooth, good quality of life.

That's a lot of people!! But yeah, that happens sometimes. It'll be lessened over time as more locations get added in town and they can pick some other places to be. As for the leotard thing... mostly an accident! Getting clothes to layer in all the ways the player might want is pretty tricky. I'll take a look at it.

First of all great update! I really enjoy the new graphical icons... also the addition of the number of nearby people is a really good one...I entered the River Rat and 201 people were there at that moment. So beside the update i tried to combine a leotard with jeans and it can't be done... but there is no problem to combine leotards with skirts or denim shorts. Is this by accident or by design? It would be cute combination I think... :P. Keep it up!

Yeah upon playing a bit more I did notice the saturday football game didn't kick off. Does work in a pinch to explore a seasonal event, as I'm sure this one won't be the last ! (Ho ho hoe anyone?)
Anarchothaumaturgist
Thanks. This one should be fixed in the most current release. You can update by returning to the early access itch page.

Most of the time it's ok, I do it a lot myself when testing/debugging. It'll occasionally produce some strange effects though, mostly around scheduled things like games

An error occurs in the CUM scene. The error message says that I can ignore the error and continue playing, but I've noticed that the error occurs anyway.

Something I'm wondering since seasonal events will now be a thing, would it be viable to add a cheat option to change the date? My main save is ages away from Gourdtober right now, for example. (Would probably need a giant warning side that says it can break you save, of course.) Edit: So just to test it out I did it the makeshift way (after making save backups) by editing the date values with the browser console and it doesn't seem to have destroyed anything noticeable.

we need to be able to have a greater impact on team sports, mainly the football team. If im supposed to take it in the ass to get time on the field, make it worth it. I barely touch the ball, and watch us lose far too often. We should have a path to star qb, perhaps a switch element that forces a change in dynamics

Excited to see the new features. This has become a benchmark game that I compare other games to.
