Shade says hello! (by ToonNik)

Why are transformations always such a pain in the butt to code? Even when a community writer does them, it’s so easy to get turned around with all the i’s to cross and t’s to dot! (wink)

Today I’ve got two new crew toy scenes for Shekka I did myself – one for futa-equipped Shekka and one for any Shekka. We’ve also got a new transformation item for the bat-inclined by lopbat, and there’s a small expansion for Zarduk by Magenta Needle.

0.9.143 Changelog:

• HOTFIX #1 (Build #6505+): Addressed a crash in the new “Cumpire” perk tracking system.
• [Backer Exclusive] New Transformation Item: Bat Bites! Buy them from Jade on Tavros Station. These items can turn you into one of three very slightly different flavors of bat. Aside from generally just getting to be a cool anthro bat, there’s a “cumpire” perk for the vampire bat path that can boost your willpower – as long as you’re sucking down regular infusions of everyone’s favorite sort of protein. The race scores for displaying the race name on the appearance screen still need some time in the oven, and a parser or two may need updated with extra batrocities if something is MIA. (Written by lopbat, coded by Leek, addition coding work and cleanup by Fenoxo)
• [Backer Exclusive] Zarduk got a mini expansion! Includes three scenes and some bad-endage, for those who like that sort of content! (Written by Magenta Needle, coded by Leek)
• [Backer Exclusive] Shekka Crew Toy Content! As mentioned above, you can service futa Shekka’s giant hog sometimes while flying between planets. You can also run into her in the utility room to get your face straddled and service her pussy. Both scenes written and coded by me, Dr. Fenoxo Fenfen the IV, esquire.
• [Now Public] Zarduk and Yuri
• Zarduk & Yuri had their bust display improved. (Fenoxo)
• New Bust by Adjatha: Yuri (male & feminine)
• New Bust by ToonNik: Shade! Ain’t she adorable?
• New Lootable Poster by Jacques00: You can rip down a Utopian Skies advert and hang it up in your ship! (coded by Fenoxo). More are coming…
• New image CGs by JayEcho: Anally visiting Hureya at the stocks after the train dungeon, being sandwiched between behemoths, and an illustration for the encounter with your rival’s party in the radwoods.
• Hardlight Strapon code was updated for consistency in the code. Many scenes were allowed to work with hardlight strapons that aren’t equipped, just held in the inventory so long as the scene did not specifically describe your worn underwear, for convenience and fun.
• The Slyveren Ambassador now displays her nude bust during some nude scenes. (Lowercase Donkey)
• “Experimental Undo” should work again, courtesy of Lowercase Donkey.
• Some other assorted bug fixes and tweaks.

Why not pay Catalina a visit and get some regrettable ink? Art by Adjatha

New patch! This was meant to come out before the weekend, but I held it back a grade while waiting on a transformation item that’s still clogging the coding pipes. You’ll have to have a bite of that tasty treat in the times to come. For now, sate yourself on the addition of a new vendor to Tavros Station’s crowded Merchant Deck – Catalina has arrived to allow for all kinds of tattoos! The system allows for custom text tattoos on most “fixed” body parts – which is to say parts that cannot be lost and regained. She also comes with a variety of her own sex scenes and Kiro-like pent-up and swelling mechanics for those into that sort of thing.

We also resurrected an older submission from TheBiologist – the SynthPussy. It was originally conceived as a basic pussy transformation, but since the text needed heavy editing anyway, I reworked it to be a more 1-to-1 feminine companion of the SynthSheath. For now, it has been added as a rare drop on Tarkus.

0.9.142 Changelog:

• [Backer Exclusive] Catalina has opened up her tattoo shop on Tavros! Check it out in the northwestern segment of the Merchant Deck. Written by Slab Bulkhead, coded by lowercase donkey.
• [Backer Exclusive] Tarkus got a new rare combat drop! The SynthPussy has arrived. Originally conceived by TheBiologiest years back, the draft text was originally edited by William, then re-edited with large rewrites by Fenoxo for coding into this patch. Presently, there’s a limit on 3 of them that can drop, one for each possible PC-pussy.
• [Now Public] Kiro Crew Toy content.
• [Now Public] The Bimbo Bouncer.
