Passed on, will be fixed!

One Of Adult Game HERE - it's Course of Temptation, it's this game, you're already here, yay.

This actually came from a suggestion in the Discord! When something is simple to add but would make so many people happy, why wouldn't we put it in? xD

You really need to chill out, dude, you've been making the exact same comment on this game for like a year now.

Why do you want a fail state in a laid-back life sim that's based around role-playing a character and having fun?

Even when we implement more severe consequences it's more the vibe of this game that you can always recover. It's a hopeful, joyous game, you know?

Thank you for your concern! Just letting you know, due to the nature of the way the game is created and coded, even if the other official host and the multiple (unofficial) websites hosting a copy of the game went down, we'd still have the development site, and even if THAT went down, due to the nature of the way the game is created, with multiple Contributors working on various sections, the raw game code exists on multiple computers at once. There's essentially many backups being created all the time! 

If itch ever does decide to go full weirdo and remove all adult games, regardless of content, there's already been discussion of having a SFW edit here and the full game still accessable on the Homepage, which you can visit under "More Information" above!

Go talk to itch about that. You have no idea how severally limited the moderation options are here. Anthaum can't even add someone else to watch the comments without giving them FULL ACCESS TO THE PROJECT. It's ridiculous.

Just please keep reporting them and downvoting them as you see them.

ANNNNNNNND WE'RE BACK

What the heck are you talking about?

I mean, to be clear, we didn't erase content on the seed, we just removed some small content altogether (quite some time ago) and changed a few other bits. The special seeds in CoT do nothing more than change some personality traits of NPCs. They don't add or remove content, they just make content that's already there more or less likely to occur.

The seeds are not "add this content, remove this kink", that's all in the settings already, and even that can be set to "Warn" instead of "Block".

"dangerzone" was NEVER meant to be a "DoL simulator" or "the way the game was originally" or anything like that, and I'm not sure why people think that?

First off, disclaimer: Although I'm part of the "team" of CoT, these are my viewpoints and not an official statement. Anyway. 

I'm not sure what part of the game is "misleading" people? 

Although the game uses the same basic programming language as DoL (Twine), it isn't based on DoL in any way. The code is original, we're not "softcore modded DoL" as CoT is occasionally called on some forums. 

I'll fully admit that several years ago, when the game was first released, there were some filler events as the game struggled to find footing. As the game has grown, however, it was found the tone that we felt best fit both the setting and the audience. What started as merely another adult text-based game has become something that I'm glad to see is inclusive, accepting, fun, and light-hearted.

CoT may be "the college party movie game" or whatever, but a lot of those movies are.. quite troublesome these days, full of sexism, assault, and jokes about sexuality and trans people that are honestly, very offensive. Over time, that vibe was considered, and eventually rejected in favor of something better. 

I understand your disappointment. But this is the direction the game is going now, and that's not changing. "dangerzone" was always just a special seed, a modification to NPC traits and aspects. It doesn't change the essence of what the game *is*, no seed will do that. 

I know that there's a lot of crossover between DoL and CoT players. Hell, some of our Contributors wrote mods or code for DoL, and some still do! But we're not competing with that game, and I firmly believe people can enjoy both for their specific vibes and settings. 

Also, as someone who saw the interactions in the Discord, I'm sorry that you felt like you were "treated like trash". I have the receipts, and the harshest thing someone said to you was "You want DoL gameplay, go play DoL" which is, well, just true? As I've laid out above, CoT is not DoL, and that's.. just the way things are. But people can enjoy both, you know?

What's amusing is how easy that bug was to test, just one quick run with "bisexual" set as low as it could go in world gen and the game still popped 525 bisexual characters. It was like WELP I GUESS WE DON'T HAVE TO HUNT DOWN THAT BUG

Seriously, I wish all bugs were that easy to reproduce.

That was a weird bug, it'll be fixed next update.

To whoever is downvoting me: trans people are in the game to stay. Suck it up and deal with it.

I'm pretty sure that's what he means, I just want him to openly say it so I can laugh at him and tell him no.

Someone needs to explain what they mean, first?

What the hell do you mean by "futa"?

Okay, y'all are done. Be civil, we're all fellow perverts.

Yeah, there's a cool down after leaving one team before you can join another. I think it's two weeks, IIRC.

There was a bug in warmth calculation, it'll be fixed soon!

Okay that's actually pretty funny

(Edited the above message to point out where the link is, rather than give it directly, because yeah, we have had a lot of spam links lately, good call!)

For anyone having trouble downloading the game from itch: remember that there's a mirrored copy on the official website!

Above on the game page, go More Information -> Links -> Homepage to get there!

Itch has been having a lot of issues lately. Try the direct download at the official website, maybe?

This is the best explanation. We're not a fantasy game here, there's no transformation potions or magical creatures. There's been discussion about intersex before, but until we're sure we can add something respectfully we don't want to start adding it at all. 

"Both sets of genitals" in a "herm" fashion is often a porn game fetish, along with stuff such as "futa" and the like. As we're trying to make a more realistic, grounded, and respectful game, we're not going to add something just because it's in all those other games. We let the fetishes be kinks, not people.

Very soon - most likely in about a week! It's in EA now and getting a lot of tweaks and bug fixes. 

Not pride related, but then again the game is already very much about letting you be yourself!

It's very likely! There's work being done on "secret" relationships with teachers and the like, and it'll probably come in updates that add in more consequences for your risky actions!

Not yet - it's kind of a groundhog day year at the moment, until we add in more progression stuff! But remember - more content is coming soon, the newest update is in early access right now!

I know none of y'all are stupid enough to fall for this, but don't click on any weird links. 

The only places to get updates to this game are here and - as mentioned in the game description above - https://courseoftemptation.com/

"Sleep sex" will not be added to the game, as it is by its very definition, non-consensual.

As much as I hate to have to do this..

Everyone here, please know that user Dandy Me was recently banned from the official CoT Discord due to harassment of users and staff, including constant private messages and unwanted flirting.

They are a long-time spreader of inaccurate information about the game and they frequently assume a position of authority and knowledge that is not warranted, including setting themselves up as an unwanted, unofficial representative of the game in various locations, including these comments and the f95 forums. 

Please block them and ignore anything they say about the game, as it is most likely untrue. They are not a Contributor or Dev, they have no access to the code, and they do not represent CoT or the game's creators. 

Not yet! It's on the roadmap.

Yeah, this really isn't the community for you, bub.

WHOOPS I FORGOT ONE THANK YOU

It still requires some tweaking, but here's the basic idea!

Later on, I'm totally going to add some thoughts on how to deal with paradoxes and the consequences of messing with time.

I'm loving all these Playbooks being made for the jam! I had a random thought with this one - for the last ability, "Do the Talking", do you think it would enhance the ability to add something like "You may make a Link with this character if you haven't already, or change the Link if one already exists." to the end? 

I think The Weaponized would have feelings about someone speaking on their behalf like that - do they appreciate it with Light, take a Dark Link because they hate when people do that, etc.

As a GM I would probably just automatically give that, but would it work well to put it on the text? I ask because I want to make a Playbook for this Jam and I'm poking around other people's ideas to get inspiration!

I haven't downloaded or played the game yet or anything, I just wanted to say it's very cool to see someone put so much into creating something just with basic RPG Maker assets and their own time + skill. This is obviously a passion project for you and I'm always happy to see people release their quirky interesting ideas!

There was an extra update in December to add the holiday stuff before the holidays! The next update is already out in early access and should be out around the 7th, no worries!

Not yet, but it'll be added eventually! Much farther down the road, though.

No, the game that is respectful to trans people does not have "futa" characters.
