Unreal Engine Carnal Instinct [2024-10-17] [Team Carnal Instinct]

[NoStepOnSnek]

Released update 1.63 is it worth waiting for it here or it will not be filled here?

Wouldn't hold my breath. Right now, we only have the Steam release which updates quarterly at most. The actual Patreon versions need either more investigation to strip tracking information or someone willing to burn a Patreon account each time.

Hey all,

As the eleventh hour approaches we're narrowly across the line! This is the second content update for the month and it serves two key purposes; to add an introductory quest of the first story arc of the game, and to implement the content needed for the even more substantial quests coming up in our roadmap.

It's a gameplay heavy update this time around, with a plethora of new, voice-acted content. There are no new scenes in the update, but now that we've expanded the roster of available options there are many coming next month.

The new gear items available from [SPOILERS] after the [SPOILERS] are part of April's roadmap, but an in-development version of the outfit is available now (and will remain in your inventory with future updates).

The Priestess' attendant Nepthys is now in-game too, showcasing our new Crocodile NPC. She has much more of a role to play in April and beyond, granting you access to her mistress and the major story quest when it drops. For now you can admire her black eyes, her intricate scales, her voice acting, and her

There is an additional Anubite & Demigod post coming in the next few days, explaining the player shrines and Demigod-funded additional content.

We've made a huge amount of progress this month and with the vast support shown by the community we're looking to accelerate development and continue to earn the trust you have all placed in us.

As far as I know, they can't ban payment methods. They can, however, track down and ban Patreon accounts that are subscribed to them, since the download contains at least one piece of identifying information buried in it somewhere. Info on account banning in Patreon can be found

Does anyone know what the identifying part is or do we need 2 uploads of the same version to compare?

Honestly... do you really think people would tell if they knew? The devs watch this thread like hawks, any Patreon who shares a link will get banned and won't be able to access their content anymore. They know who did it because every download contains traceable information that is exclusive to each subscriber. If there's a loophole in the system, the smartest thing to do is to keep quiet about it because otherwise the devs will know about it too and attempt to "fix" it.

It's possible that nobody knows what is giving them away and chances are they're not going to investigate it either because they don't want to risk their PayPal accounts. Alternatively, people could form a small group of trusted individuals and investigate on their own... whatever happens though, crucial information shouldn't be disclosed here, not with the devs watching. But I don't believe people are going to invest that much time and effort into this.

As a note, I kept the typos in the changelog as it was in their post. They also don't specify what the changes to the launcher are, but seeing as the launcher is what verifies Patreon subscriber status and handles downloading and installing the game, there's a fair shot it involves that in some way or another.

 

[Filippa2000]

Seems a little bit excessive for them to actively track and ban leaks considering how much money they're pulling despite it.

well just give them 5$ if it bothers u that much lol

 

[virgin boi]

nopy?

 

[Rangaros]

I'm confused, how do they connect someone's F95zone account to their Patreon/Paypal account?

They don't, they connect the download itself to the patreon account that downloaded it.
There must be some sort of identifier code that stamps the download as being attributed to a particular patreon on release. So when the devs see a leaked download, in addition to a takedown request they will downloaded it themselves, check the identifying bit they put into the file, then ban the associated Patreon account.

On the plus side, Patreon terms of service explicitly forbid using their accounts for anything other than basic validation. That in combination with Patreon using a web-only API means the launcher (which is likely an Electron app) can be used to verify on download, but baking a validation check directly into the game itself is much more complicated and something the devs opted to avoid. Since the game itself is in Unreal Engine, it can be assumed that instead of being compiled on-demand for the download, the launcher itself is likely tacking something in somewhere. All taken together, it dramatically limits what files need to be checked for trackable data.

So one or some of the downloaded files are marked, uniquely, on download? That's kind of insane, huh. It also seems counterproductive to ban the people that are paying them. Who should be more worried, the random individuals who can't pay for the development of a porn game anymore, or the developer who will get less and less money if that continues?

Not the developer, that's for sure. They went from 400 patrons in early January to 1,823 at this very moment. Their subscriber count has doubled in the last six weeks alone. I absolutely do think they're being overzealous about it, but it clearly isn't hurting their bottom line any.
