I have to wonder what the "Greater Draconid" actually means... "More primal"? More "dragon-like"? Quadruped player characters are not (as far as I know) going to be implemented and I think the dragon model already looks like a dragon since it has a "dragon head" and you can apply scales on your character, what more could you really do or add? Claws? Different legs digitigrade or something?

Hey all,

IMPORTANT NOTE: We're sorry to force players to make new saves, however there was a serious bug with the prior system that increased (or infinite) loading times with high save counts. The fix for this means that old saves are no longer supported and you'll need to start the game anew - we believe that this will be the last change to the system for a long time.

The first update of the month brings with it both new scenes and new genital options, as well as an overhaul of the save system and a plethora of other changes. As usual this is the smaller of the updates, with more coming in the exclusive Ascended update later in March. Some hints at what is to come are already in the map, and a new NPC can now be found near the docks (ready for his inclusion later this month).



The winning genitals from last month's poll are now in-game (with lore appropriate names), and you can find the 'Maned Felian' and 'Royal Jackal' manhood options hidden in the world. The two new scenes, 'Face-sitting' and 'Missionary', each add a little more nuance to the available sexual content - these will be joined by a further three later this month.

Our updated roadmap will be published later this week.

If you don't know where to find the game, you can download the launcher here.

This month we launched on Steam and we'd like to extend a warm welcome to all our new supporters. Thank you all for the incredible support, we're closing in on our goal of being able to work on Carnal Instinct full time and we're excited to show you more of what is to come!

First impressions were that Wild Life and Slaves of Rome got together and genetically modified their child to look as much like AC: Origins as possible. That said, I do like the Egyptian thematics.

Even in a barebones state, and having utilized open source assets, its amazing how easily their product puts several others like it to shame. I've read some negative reviews, and I'm not going to white knight this or anything, but it takes some seriously jaded perspective to rate this down "on its own merit" rather than comparing it to the majority of other similar titles available who are also billing themselves as a nearly complete product (looking at you, Slaves of Rome).

Maybe its not for everyone, but I personally feel there's a lot of promise here and that some other dev teams could learn a thing or two from both the quality of world design and client optimization. There may not be a lot here yet, but its really well polished for the state its in, and I find that attention to detail speaks a lot to a team's overall commitment. (Sure I found the obligatory see-through bolder from behind, and floating grass, but they were little more than 1-offs). And I happen to like a nice set of drapes when it comes to the background in my porn.

I am in the process of updating my guideposts right now, for version 0.1.63. Thus far, I've finished with my Equipment (Body and Phallus), Equipment (Head), Quests, and Scenes posts. As an advance note, the recent updates explicitly refer to two new items, "Royal Jackal" and "Maned Feline" penises. While I could not find those, I did find the "Felian Manhood" and "Jackal Member" penises instead. I assume these are the same, and that the names were changed at some point. Changes to the posts for this update:

  • Added the Centaur Breeding scene.
  • Added the Face Sitting scene.
  • Added the Felian Manhood item.
  • Added the Jackal Member item.
  • Added the Missionary scene.
  • Added the Ride the Pony quest.
  • Added the Tribbing/Scissor scene.
  • Updated all body cosmetic location images.
  • Updated all body type location images.
  • Updated all head cosmetic location images.
  • Updated all head type location images.
  • Updated all penis type location images.
  • Updated all quest location and target images.
  • Updated all scene locations, and added locations where I previously omitted them.
  • Updated Cowgirl scene description to remove the no longer accurate mention that it was the only scene where the player is the receiver.
  • Updated descriptions for body type, body cosmetic, head cosmetic, head type, and penis type items that were moved or had nearby hostile encounters changed.
  • Updated Feline Threesome images and description to reflect the fact that it now includes belly distension for oversized penises.
  • Updated Footsteps of the Dragon, Glory of the Gods, and Secret Admirer to warn of relevant enemies.
  • Updated Mark of the Grey Cat and Mark of the Lap Cat with notices regarding the fact that I could not find them in the current game version.
  • Updated With Bells On to mention a currently available (0.1.63) debug chest and remove mention of the no longer relevant save issues.
I have been unable to track down two head cosmetics in the new version: Mark of the Grey Cat and Mark of the Lap Cat. If anyone finds their new homes, please let me know.

Waiting for update of the game...
Feel free to make a new Patreon account, toss $10 (the minimum for this update) at the developer, share the update, and then get banned from their patreon a few days before the next update because the downloads can be tracked. That last part is exactly why it may be a while before a copy of the new version gets shared. Until someone figures out specifically what makes the download traceable, most subscribers are going to remain unwilling to share the latest versions.

The current version on the thread is from Steam, which isn't subject to that issue, is missing a few things (like the Draquine manhood), and won't be updated again for a few months.

"It was in the ruin of the fighting pits we finally caught up with them, disturbing their carnal ritual above the hidden Tomb of Sobeq. We slew the warriors first, the only ones capable of presenting any real resistance. All there met the same fate in the end, they knew too much to let them live. We will prevent her return, no matter the cost."
Journal of Sitah, Inquisitor of Bast

Hi all,

Now that the True Canine and True Feline genitals (the winning options in last-month's poll) have been implemented in-game, it's time for another Ascended Tier+ exclusive poll. We're moving towards splitting bodies/clothing in the inventory so that you can combine clothing with different forms (i.e. Felian, Draconid, Human, etc) and, with the new freedom this affords, it's time for you to decide what clothing set you'd like to see first.

All of these sets will tie into one of the core quest arcs, the ancient war between Kethra and Bast, and we wanted to give you the chance to add cosmetics to the game based on this storyline. Check out #news on Discord to see the images we're using as inspiration for the equipment.

This poll runs for seven days (ends 20th March 2021 @ 11:59 PM GMT/UTC)

Team Carnal Instinct



|| MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD ||

There are no major plot spoilers here, but if you prefer to discover all lore in-game then we recommend you skip the latter portion of this post and rely on Discord for the reference images. For those who are interested, below is a short flavour of the equipment in the poll...

1. Inquisition Garb
The lightly armoured outfit of the most devoted of Bast's followers, The Inquisitors. As both sword and shield of the feline goddess, these zealots will stop at nothing to rid Sabu of the influence of Kethra. Each Inquisition Garb is handed down, from one Inquisitor to the next, an unbroken line back to the time when they were blessed by Bast herself. No self-respecting Inquisitor would surrender the outfit willingly, or without a fight. It may not appear much, but the ancient magic bound within the cloth grants a deceptively strong level of protection to its wearer.

2. Gladiator Armour
In the golden age of Kethra the fighting pits were a sight to behold, day and night the clash of blades and screams of agony rang out amidst the raucous jeering of the masses. Today these mighty structures are a hollow shell of their former selves, forgotten ruins swallowed by the dunes, the equipment within long since scavenged by bandits and raiders, a far cry from the glorious heyday of the arena. The toughened leather, sewn pelts, and cast bronze armour can still be bartered for however, or simply taken from the bloodied corpse of its previous owner.

3. Merchant's Silks
The trade in rare goods and flesh can pay handsomely in Sabu. Whilst the Anubites may demand constant bribes, there's still a hefty profit to be made for those with flexible morals. The slave traders at the city outskirts are no exception to this rule, flaunting their wealth and unscrupulous character in the silk and spun-gold attire with which they adorn themselves. Whispers suggest that perhaps not every slave for sale was obtained legitimately, but the Merchant's guild used its power to quash this unsavoury rumour... not least because half its members are implicated in the scandal. The garments themselves may be light on conscience, but they're decidedly heavy on rich fabrics and jewelled ornamentation.

4. Acolytes Holy Garments
The line between mortal and immortal is somewhat blurred in Sabu, nonetheless those beings on the path to Ascension require servants to do their bidding, which is where Acolytes come in. Desperate to attain the favour of their Patron, and invoking the golden rule of Kethra in their clothing, Acolytes can be found in all corners of the unforgiving, desert province. The holy garments of an Acolyte often feature embroidered sigils of their master deity or, in extremely rare and valuable examples, the actual shed scales or woven fur from the ancient being's corporeal form.

5. Hand of Fate
The unseen touch of providence guides many events in Sabu and there are no coincidences in the forsaken land of the God Queen. Events far beyond comprehension are already at play, surrendering yourself to fate may be no bad thing.

By the way, since people tend to not track these and the only way to dig them up is to run through the thread history or poke into other archives, it's worth noting the common points of concern for Carnal Instinct as a project. They come broadly in one of two categories:

Content teased but not actually implemented ingame:
  • Two different NPCs have unusable options requesting they meet you at your camp that does not yet exist.
  • The Glory of the Gods quest option and sex scene "[Sex] Fill me with your blessings. (Coming Soon)" has been an un-selectable option for about four months, or roughly eight releases.
  • The Alchemy and Abilities tabs of the inventory exist but are not implemented, and have been as such for at least six months. (So roughly twelve game versions)
  • The pair of felians have had two unusable dialogue options "[Coming Soon] Who are you?" and "[Coming Soon] Could I become an adept?" since late January, so roughly three updates.
  • The pair of felians have had "[Coming Soon] Let me tongue-fuck your pussy (5 Gold)" as an unimplemented sex option since late January.
  • The pair of felians have had "[Coming Soon] I need to suck your cock (5 Gold)" as an unimplemented sex option since late January.
  • The pair of felians have had "[Coming Soon] I want to swallow your horsecock (10 Gold)" as an unimplemented sex option since late January.
  • The pair of felians have had "[Coming Soon] I'm soaking, let's scissor (10 Gold)" as an unimplemented sex option since late January.
  • The pair of felians have had "[Coming Soon] I'm going to fuck your throat (20 Gold)" as an unimplemented sex option since late January.
  • The pair of felians have had "[Coming Soon] Let's gape that tight ass (50 Gold)" as an unimplemented sex option since late January.
  • The pair of felians have had "[Coming Soon] I want all of you at once (1000 gold)" as an unimplemented sex option since late January.
  • Djeda has had "[Quest] You sure the Naga isn't in heat? (coming soon)" as an unimplemented dialogue option for at least one version.
  • Nessos has had "[Coming Soon] About that felian that "milked" you..." as an unimplemented dialogue option for at least one version.
  • Dasha has had two "[Locked] Coming Soon" sex options for the end of With Bells On since December. (Unchanged for five updates and counting.)
  • Dasha has had the unimplemented "[Locked] COMING SOON" option after completing With Bells On since December.

General lack of QA:
  • I wouldn't normally include minor map holes, but this game has so many of them that it indicates a lack of actual playtesting after changing things.
  • Many, many easy to encounter and diagnose crashes and softlocks have necessitated rapid hotfix updates. This also indicates a lack of actual playtesting.
  • The developers' inability to handle map markers for quests is an ongoing issue for the last four or more months, and indicates either a lack of programming ability or a lack of ability to properly use the tools they're implementing them with.
  • Multiple issues with sex scene character displacement have gone unpatched for several updates, even when reported to the developers.
  • The Mark of the Cheetah head cosmetic was released with a broken texture, which, again, indicates a lack of playtesting the product.
  • The felian threesome scene was released without the stomach deformation with large cocks, which is unusual since stomach deformation already existed in the game and the promotional image showed the same scene with said bulges.
  • Several items, such as the ritual vessel quest item for Glory of the Gods, the ritual vessel used to acquire the Wild Draconic Form, and all khopeshes and shields lying on the ground, do not use the standard inventory prompts and instead simply vanish when activated.
  • Handling for items that can be dropped versus ones that cannot is incredibly inconsistent, and in paricular all cosmetic drops from enemies can only be removed from your inventory by selling them to the merchant.
  • Dialogue prompts are inconsistently labeled, with [Quest] and [Sex] markers having variable capitalization and occasionally being omitted entirely.
  • The Quests tab of the menu took the developers six months (roughly twelve updates) to get around to implementing.
  • The World Map tab of the menu took the developers six months (roughly twelve updates) to get around to implementing. (Both this and the prior are very simple menus that would take even a moderately skilled programmer a few hours to set up. Trivial work at worst.)
  • The new Felian Manhood and Jackal Member don't use the same texturing systems as other penises, and thus don't blend with the player's body.
  • There are many cases where textures are either not loading properly, or the developers are using objects at much larger than intended sizes.
  • The most recent update (0.1.63) left a literal debug chest out in the open for players to use, complete with duplicates of three quest-relevant items.
  • The developers have had multiple issues with save files, including not properly loading objects and difficulty with basic file and directory structure. This is not promising regarding programming ability.
  • The questgiver for "Footsteps of the Dragon" has two different dialogue options that lead to exactly the same sex scene. (I put this in QA rather than teased content because it doesn't necessarily say they would be different, and they're both functional.)
  • The questgiver for "Glory of the Gods" also has two different dialogue options that lead to exactly the same sex scene.
  • The "Breeding Harness" item has no icon, can wind up duplicated, and is given to the player but not actually required for the relevant scene. This renders an inventory slot useless and technically occupies part of the (unimplemented) inventory maximum weight.
Personally, I included that first category because none of that content is actual content. It's empty, pointless things that make the game feel like it has (or will have) more than it currently does, and is disingenuous of the developers to add. The second category is actual concerns from a development standpoint, coming from another developer.

I don't include store-bought assets or differences between steam and subscriber versions into this because those are incredibly subjective and not worth discussing in the same context, and honestly the use of store-bought assets to cover things the development team might not have the time or ability to make in-house is something I consider a good sign rather than a bad one.

So why did I make this post? I've been showing off a lot of the good things this game has to offer, but that's not necessarily what people want to know about. Especially since, being an Unreal Engine game, being able to run it at all is going to be hit or miss for people who don't have amazing computers, and this game in particular is a big download only available through slow or outright throttled sources for people browsing this thread.

Is anyone having an issue where the in-game save file disappears after restarting the game? I can still find the save files under the AppData folder but they aren't appearing in the game.

Yeah, i have another problem when after restarting the game it does not start, if I do not delete all saves. However, while I'm in the game, all saves work and load normally.

They changed the save game location because the latest version breaks the older saves, again.
And, as TheInternetIsForThis mentioned, the latest version of the game is tied to the patreon network enough to mean the creators can tell if someone's copy of the game is uploaded to pirate sites VERY easily since it has visible and hidden identifiers which tell the creators who did the deed
