(The following is (mostly) a copy-paste from our v0.36 update post! If you like what you see, you can pledge $10 or more to download v0.36 and play it right now!)

Hey everybody! Before I get started, I want to apologize for not posting much of anything here in the past few weeks. We ran out of exciting update stuff to talk about and just had to put our heads down and work to get the update out as soon as possible; I kept updating on Patreon every week, but they were just status updates without anything to show off. However, Crisis Point: Extinction v0.36 is finished and ready for play.. mostly! I want to say first off that this is a somewhat early release - the Poison Alraune CG isn't quite done, but that and the new NPC's voice acting are the only assets we're missing now, and I simultaneously don't want to delay the update any further, and don't want to rush the art and compromise quality. Because of that, the Poison Alraune CG is absent from this initial release; once the Poison Alraune CG is done, I will be updating v0.36 using the same download link as the one I'm sending out right now, so keep that link handy! I'll post again notifying everyone as soon as the CG update is out, but I won't be sending out links again to avoid spamming people.
With that out of the way, let's get into it!

UPDATE v0.36 MAJOR CHANGES AND ADDITIONS

• Design and implement new NPC and cutscenes in the Summit (WARNING: The new NPC is currently missing voice acting)
• Completely reworked BE status effect to remove the movement-inhibiting debuff; now, Alicia has full movement and abilities during BE, but it now causes Alicia's libido to slowly rise over time. If she touches an enemy, an H-scene will begin immediately, and finishing any H-scene (or masturbating) will remove BE status.
• Updated lighting engine to use a new colour-shifting shader method instead of transparent flat color overlays, making the lighting effects much more varied as it now respects the original color of each pixel more
• Implemented mouse controls for main menu and all Options menus (no other menus have mouse support right now)
• Reworked the Flare Shot's first skill point upgrade completely, now it will not cause problems with starting H-scenes
• Implemented enemy recolors for Tentacles and Warped Sentries
• Add in reworked Warped Soldier CG by Kuso
• Added a few more environmental conversations
• Added proper climax animation for Lurker BE H-scene
• Fixed a small amount of bugs and minor issues

The big things this update are the BE rework, and the new NPC and cutscenes in the Summit. I won't spoiler the cutscenes themselves, but I will say that getting them in now was necessary for the game's level design going forward; the cutscenes change the way progression works, and now you can access the Catacombs as soon as you kill the boss of the Summit. This opens up a lot more freedom in what order the player chooses to explore; after you get the Dash, you can either go straight for Boss 2 or head for the Deep Soil. If you kill Boss 2, you can access the Catacombs before ever going to the Deep Soil, completely changing up the progression path. To put it simply, it's an attempt to inject some nonlinearity into the way the player progresses through the game, and I hope you guys enjoy it!

UPDATE v0.37 GOALS

• Add in new enemy, Torguis (the blue orc-like enemies from early in development)
• Create more areas to explore
• Finishing adding mouse support to other parts of the menu
• Rework save system to fix issue where you cannot transfer saves between computers (NOTE: this change will invalidate all previous saves and you'll have to start from scratch)
• Rework some level designs in the Catacombs to allow the player to explore it without Omnidash and Kilogrip abilities, then move Omnidash to further in the game (it's currently accessible earlier than I planned)
• Rework more outdated CGs
• Add more environmental conversations
• Fix more bugs and minor issues

So v0.37 will be primarily focused on finally adding new content and stuff to explore. As I mentioned above, the Catacombs is now accessible without getting the Kilogrip in the Deep Soil; because of that, some level design in the Catacombs needs to be changed. At the same time, I plan on moving the Omnidash further into the game so you can't access it quite as early; with the Catacombs accessible earlier, you can upgrade the Dash into the Omnidash very quickly, which devalues the base dash a bit too much imo. Along with that, we'll be adding the Torguis enemy, a long-awaited addition that some of you might remember; he's the first ever enemy I designed for Crisis Point, but he never got proper attacks or animations, only a pair of H-scenes. He'll be appearing in the Catacombs, which makes now the perfect time to reintroduce him!
As far as porn content for v0.37 goes, I'll probably do a poll later on to ask what CG we should rework next, but once Kuso is done with the Poison Alraune CG I plan on having him move right into the Torguis CG, to make sure it's ready for the update. I can't guarantee the Torguis sprite H-scenes will be ready in time, but we'll do our best to make sure they are. If we SOMEHOW get all of that done and still have time, I'll make a poll about what other porn content we should do next.

Alright, that's about enough out of me for today. Before I go, thank you so much to all of our wonderful Patrons for your endless support and patience! An extra special thanks goes out to our top patrons from this update cycle:
