Comments
so UE5 version has a little of history and customize the character and form?
John
2025-10-04 12:11:15 +0000 UTCi feel like the first set of quests to aquire a form are a bit long and dificult to work out for new people... maybe a character that tells you more about it at the start of the game would be good?
XDr
2025-03-24 08:00:28 +0000 UTCevery time i use the launcher the window likes to stay on the left side of the screen and i can't launch the game can't make it full screen or move the window either, any solutions?

2025-01-06 21:20:41 +0000 UTCHi, just got the game on Patreon, had been playing UE4 and UE5 beta via Steam. Is it recommended I start a brand new game since I downloaded via Patreon? It did have my Steam game save file so I continued. Just curious. Also, is this the chat to post things I would notice that may need to be "tweaked" and/or questions/suggestions for future dev (ie. noticed on pleasure island my human female character's arm literally goes through the male jackal's shoulder, instead of being on his shoulder or around it). Love the egyptian scenery! Thanks for your work!
Rina
2024-09-27 18:08:41 +0000 UTCare the other forms still locked or did i need to do something in order to unlock them? There looks like three more that are available to play but i cant unlock them. And possibly more being added in?
Horseinthesands
2024-09-25 04:21:33 +0000 UTCQuestion: Would keeping the Formless male as a slave in quest line, "Lost and Found" be possible? Most of the formless look female, so having a male formless feels rare TBH lol. Could we add him in with the slaves to capture? And since he's formless he could be a worker and slave to use, if we end up having a camp in later updates.

2024-08-21 06:26:12 +0000 UTCSame for me. Or i am missing something?

2024-06-16 12:43:53 +0000 UTCLocations yes, but I haven't discovered any new sex scenes...unless they're locked behind certain quests. Kinda disappointed, saw the update on Steam and came back thinking there would be new fun, but its just the same scenes with the centaurs that was from the update before

2024-06-04 12:27:21 +0000 UTCUpdate after a couple hours of babysitting the download because it was interrupted almost every 5-7 minutes. Launcher will not install to designated drive. It will only install to the C drive, regardless of me setting a custom install location. Don't know what's going on with your launcher but you need to correct this. Seems like it was an issue in previous builds and now its back.

2024-05-30 03:02:15 +0000 UTCSehet from the Welcome to the Fold quest isn't spawning in for me. I can see their subtitles when its their turn to speak but even the audio isn't present. Its like they don't even exist meaning I can't capture them in the jar and progress in the quest
Lucious
2024-05-30 01:05:38 +0000 UTCFinally got around to playing the latest build. UE5 Launcher is trying to install on the wrong drive, even though its install path is clearly defined in the Launchers own settings. Running selfpatcher.exe does nothing, and if I try to run JUST the CarnalInstinct.exe to, you know, play the game that I already paid for and played, it tells me my patreon is not linked. So I deleted all the root folders regarding Carnal Instinct and am currently trying to redownload the UE5 launcher in hopes this will correct itself. Clearly the patreon money is not being spent on server hosting for the download because its been crawling along at a blazing 1kb/s with AMPLE interruptions.

2024-05-29 22:57:28 +0000 UTC1st person camara option for sex scenes would be cool, imo

2024-05-28 22:26:06 +0000 UTCEverytime I load my save file the game crashes in the loading screen ue5
Gmark
2024-05-27 10:47:07 +0000 UTCI can't interact with the well that brings you to the dungeon in No Rest for the Wicked where you get the Night Lotus. I have every other ingredient for the elixir, and the quest says I need to get the Night Lotus and bring it to Mesatnofreht.

2024-05-24 20:19:21 +0000 UTCYou have to adjust your game settings every time you launch the game, they aren't saved between sessions.

2024-05-24 03:48:17 +0000 UTCis it normal that i cant change my settings in game the default settings makes me play it on 30 fps with v-sync on and motion blur?
jehovanboy87
2024-05-23 21:34:41 +0000 UTCI'm soft locked with Amara because I had already got a form before she was added and when I change it she still wont talk to me and insists I change form.
Eldridge Cade
2024-05-21 06:33:43 +0000 UTCdoes this also add new sex scenes/locations?
some bird
2024-05-20 13:32:06 +0000 UTCThe Avarice Of Birds: is it normal that "Objectives" and "Journal" are empty and there are no trackers?
PippoZenGames
2024-05-20 11:14:19 +0000 UTCdoes steam get the same update at the same time or later?
drewpy0925
2024-05-20 08:48:49 +0000 UTCNo rest for the wicked gets me to get some flowers and immediately tells me I've also got the semen, but then I am directed to bring all the items back to the quest giver without having the yellow fruit pulp or river water. So I cannot turn in the quest because I do not have the ingredients, but I cannot get the other ingredients because the quest log assumes I have everything.

2024-05-20 01:38:08 +0000 UTCwont update wanted me to download window features now wont start update just closes window
brandon curio
2024-05-19 02:23:41 +0000 UTCWait. Does that mean that Ass and Tits are smaller now? I would not like that. I can live with some clipping, but the Flesh must be ample. Maybe add a System that checks for "Clothing not fitting Bodyproportions" and than makes it impossible to wear some things. I would like the Possibility to run around Naked and not be to squishy as a Gamemechanic anyway. Maybe with Size of Proportions could come more "Resistance" instead of the Armor of Clothing?

2024-05-18 12:50:50 +0000 UTCOh awesome. I don’t mind starting a new one. I just want to make sure it is figured out before I start another one. XD. If it’s fixed with a new game, hell yeah. I’m happy.

2024-05-18 03:57:48 +0000 UTCGood job!
Grand-Slam
2024-05-18 03:45:37 +0000 UTCIf a save file is already bloated, it's already sort of ruined. At some point I'll need to write a de-bloater, but for right now if your save is giving you poor performance the only fix is a fresh save, sorry! :( There's fixes in here to prevent this from happening though
Carnal Instinct
2024-05-18 03:13:18 +0000 UTCWell done and thanks for all the hard work I can hardly wait to play when I get back home.
DierBloodRose
2024-05-18 03:01:32 +0000 UTCCurious. Does this fix the bloated save file and FPS issues? (Like the game dropping to 10fps )
