I won’t be able to work on TiTS as much as I normally do. I don’t talk about it much here, but I am a parent, and with my daughter being off school for the foreseeable future, I’ll be spending more of my weekday time in SFW-mode to help out my ex (who still has to work for the time being).

Stay safe out there.

[Backers | TiTS] Milking Bars

Beware the futazon scourge.

The milk bar is done! That means I have to try to do some writing tomorrow!

0.8.067 Changelog:

  • The milk bar is finished! That means the VIP lounge should be working properly, with more interactions with Iyla, the “wall cow”, summoning a cream cow, having threesomes, etc. There’s a lot there, so enjoy it!
  • Have you ever considered vaginally worshiping a milodan fertility priestess? No? William has, and so did DrunkZombie when he coded the scene.
  • New Busts: Vulriks, Nude Reaha, Milodan Futazon, Milodan Futazon Brute, and Thyvara.
  • Vahn actually discounts the SteeleTech suits he sells slightly now.
  • The stellar tether’s missing room descriptions should be filled in.
  • Fixed a bug where you could “skip” a tier of Prai’s emails by encountering them twice before they could send the first one.
  • The Milk Thief’s blinding attack now checks if you are immune to blind attacks.
  • Fixed numerous bleeding italic/bold tags that often resulted in the entire game text being stuck as bolded.
  • Laquine ears will no longer give the text for PC’s with the “Mini” perk when expanding a phallus. (Happened 1/6th of the time)
  • Fixed an issue with encounter procs at Iced Teats.
  • The capsule hotel’s services now check penis size for the tail service.
  • The capsule hotel checks for credits for the best services.
  • Fixed the ability to have Ardia escape before defeating the LDC.
  • Numerous other fixes, especially for typos.

[Backers | TiTS] Getting Bizzy Doing Shady Events

Ain’t they cute? Fanart by Moe!

The new patch can be described as: Bizzy Expansion, Shade/Amara scene, and lots and lots of fixes.

I also reviewed an expansion for Lumi, the tainted Gabilani Tech on Tarkus by Skom. It’s pretty good, IMO, and clocks in around 10,000 words of new content for her. Hopefully somebody codes it soon, but I gotta dig back into the milk bar!

0.8.066 Changelog:

  • A new event with Shade has been added, coded by LoriJ! If you’ve fought Amara and are lovers with Shade, you can get an email when exploring the Uvetan wilds than leads to some new fun, written by Savin!
    • Note: requires you to fight Amara and be lovers with Shade.
  • Bizzy got an expansion! Includes lots of fun options, like interactions with Mitzi or Sera! Written by Nonesuch, coded by Somebody-Else-Entirely.
  • Lots and lots of small fixes. Someday I’ll make enough headway on bug reports to spend some time working on new content. Today is not that day. There’s still plenty of backlogged reports from February.
  • Milodan Omega Oil submission/bad end SHOULD have the bugs excised… I hope… for what… the third time?
  • Year tracking for Xmas events (Krissy & Randy Claws in particular) has been improved. Previously, if you encountered the event at the start of January, you’d be locked out of the event in the following December since the year is still the same. It should now track and compare against the year it would be during December, though saves with a January year value stored will still face a year of screwiness.
  • Fixed “short” travel events having incorrect transport times. (Really just from Gastigoth space into Gastigoth and one other oddball, but they’re fixed regardless.)
  • Fixed a bug in the logic for penisRouter’s “infinite” max volume option.
  • Fights with a cover mechanic should now display the cover % again. I also attempted to unify the few cover-based fight displays.
  • Fixed some ship gadget use texts referencing incorrect ships.
  • Ardia’s “Escape” option now requires the slaves be set free.
  • Ship HP no longer increases with player statistics in any fashion. Previously a stat change would adjust the maximum value, sometime leading to a message about your ship being damaged slightly despite sustaining no damage. Now neither of us have to deal with that.
  • Fixed Shou’s female rask bust not having a higher resolution variant for the image pack.
  • Fixed some broken buttons in one of Paige’s sex options.
  • You can now donate more than an integer’s worth of credits to Fadil.
  • The Omnisuit shouldn’t spam you with updates about changing at middling libido.
  • The Omnisuit’s maximum sexiness has been adjusted to 11, since it effectively occupies both underwear slots in addition to the armor slot.
  • Goo Armor’s stats have been updated with its shifting effects to stay where they ought to.
  • The Sexy Thinking perk now gives at least 1 sexiness no matter what.
  • The Bounty Bra and Honeypot Bra have had their sexiness/resolve values corrected.

Pssssst… Yo punk, you hear that TiTS is on SubscribeStar too? Patreon hasn’t gone anywhere either!

Roxy getting it doggy style by Masamaki!

Enjoy the bugfixes. My brain feels like it’s starting to melt. Wheeee~

0.8.065 Changelog:

  • Image pack updated too. Note: requires standalone flash player to play.
  • Those of you stuck in loading loops because you have a Siegwulfe equipped should now be able to load in. Turns out that Siegwulfe had a looping dependency between bimboIntelligence, sexiness, and libido. Whoops!
  • Siegwulfes got buffs/nerfs. They no longer have bonuses to sexiness and evasion that scale with intelligence. Instead they provide 3-5 sexiness and 2-3 evasion. The bimbo is the less evasive but sexier of the two. Good luck!
  • Fortification has been renamed “Bonus HP” in tooltips.
  • Shields have been renamed “Shield Points” in tooltips.
  • The resolve stat actually appears in tooltips now.
  • Gabilani Panties and the Omnisuit have been updated to use the new sexiness/resolve system. The panties should also have better reporting for their stretching.
  • Lund’s doggystyle option should now only do the breeding cave once before returning to normal doggystyle – after which you can get back to the breeding event by letting him ride you the whole way all over again! Enjoy!
  • Dress Clothes are now the only armor in the game without sexiness or resolve – partly to avoid confusion from new players when they begin with 12+ willpower and partly to provide incentive to upgrade equipment quickly.
  • The Salamander Defense System and Bimboleum Defense system had the code for triggering them moved from applyDamage to calculateDamage – some abilities didn’t run through the former, but everything runs through the latter.
  • Fixed setting likes/dislikes for Illustria Po, Sexdolls, Sexdoll Miniboss, and the Zaika Milk Thief.
  • “Ice Cold” and “Warm Blooded” should properly change. No more infinite flip-flopping!
  • Fixed a crash in submitting to the milodan male while omega oiled outside of combat.
  • Having sex Myssah should now properly check if you have a penis.
  • Zheng Shi’s recreation deck is now tagged as “Public”.
  • A lot of typos and fixes fixed in the milodan futazon.
  • Vahn no longer points at your Casstech and comments on being unable to buy it when you aren’t flying it.
  • Paige’s sex scenes got a bunch of adjustments to better handle big dicks. No, they do not allow for routing for penises other than the primary. Trying to do that would probably eat multiple days and introduce new bugs.
  • Tweaked Nymfoe’s sex menu to better explain why you can’t have sex scenes with it.
  • Erika’s threesome with a Gryvain no longer penalizes you for being horny. All you need is will, baby.
  • Shekka should no longer immediately cure her addiction to your venom and regain it when your Myr Venom perk re-applies the tongue flag.
  • Fixed an issue with sackDescripts that could result in extra commas.
  • You can no longer get a duplicate nipple transformation using Nepata.
  • Typo fixes for Frostwyrm Ichor & appearance screen.
  • Skysap is now classified as a potion instead of food. (Which should make selling it to Kelly easier).
  • Fixed laquine ears rolling a major vagina transformation when you weren’t actually applicable one.
  • Frostwyrm scales should no longer give you a penalty against Uveto’s cold.
  • Lots of other small typo and bug fixes.

There’s still a lot of backlogged bugs that could use eyeballing. I may hold off on hitting new content for a bit so that I can clean up more of the old jank. Either way, barring any major game-breakers, the next patch should be for backers eyes only!

Enjoy your weekends guys & gals!

First off, let me apologize for the state of this build. I was halfway through doing a Tease System rework when I left for PAX, and the milk bar VIP area is quite… content dense, to put it lightly. I have a lot more to do, some of which could slip into the next public patch.

Since I’ve been focusing on improving gameplay systems, I’ve piped less racy content into the game than I otherwise would, but don’t worry – it’s still coming!

Big moo(d)!

0.8.064 Changelog:

  • New Image Pack build available. Note: requires standalone flash player to play.
  • Dhaal’s Milk Bar VIP lounge has been added, though it is still very incomplete with lots more options to come as I put Wsan’s words to text. They’re pretty good scenes!
  • Sexiness is no longer a stat that weighs into an item’s stat budget. Instead, every piece of “armor” has 5 points to put into Resolve (bonus willpower and lust defense) or sexiness (bonus tease attack). Every piece of underwear has a 3 point budget. Needless to say, I had to edit every single wearable in the game and adjust itemization budgets as appropriate. Several sexy/evasion items actually got more non-sex combat stats as a result.
  • Tease Skill ranks have been replaced. Your libido is now your tease skill rank! This gives libido a positive role to play in the game’s combat balance.
  • The “Ice Cold” starter perk now causes your tease skill ranks to invert – 0 libido for 100% tease skill. Once your libido rises to 50 or above, the perk becomes “Warm Blooded” and does nothing until it is reduced back down.
  • Sexiness now increases libido (and max libido by 1/2).
  • Resolve now increases willpower (and max willpower by 1/2).
  • Like and dislike scaling in tease attacks is now less extreme. The highest multipliers have been reduced from x2 to x1.5, the lowest from 0.5x to 0.6666(repeating)x.
  • Vulnerability to tease damage from furry foes due to Furpies should now work. Previously, it was checked in the function for the player dealing tease damage, which no enemies used. It has been moved to the appropriate function.
  • “lustCombatMiss” has been added rolling hit/miss chances on tease attacks. This can be used by enemies too.
  • Starting libido has been raised to 5.
  • Bianca’s Valentines Day event got some updates and fixes that should let it happen at any hour. The bugged out appearance on Mhen’ga has also been addressed.
  • Numerous updates to the deep sea quest for balance, by DrunkZombie.
  • New Image Pack scenes: Roxy Doggstyle by Masamaki, and the Slyveren Slavebreaker vaginal sex by MrPink and colored by Waru-Geli.
  • New Busts: Cream Cows #1-3, Wall Cow (Adj & Shou variants), and Iyla.

What’s new since last month’s public patch?

[Backers | TiTS] Bug Fixes Aplenty

February 20, 2020
Trials in Tainted Space
23 Comments

Hey guys! Smaller patch today. It turns out the bug reports have been kind of sliding in the background, so I’ve been punching on them in addition to tagging some of my game improvement projects from the meeting. I also spent some time working over the cybernetics systems that we have planned. Don’t get TOO excited. They’re going to be more like additional accessory slots than options to replace all your limbs with metal – writing scenes is complicated enough without adding even more variants that authors won’t account for.

0.8.062 Changelog:

  • Dodging and evasion have been reworked!
    • The base miss chance is now 5% for PCs and 10% for enemies (was 10% for both).
    • Miss chance is effectively twice as dependent on stats. Before, it was 1% miss chance for every 5 points of advantage you had over enemy reflexes. Now it is 1% per 2.5 points.
    • Evasion is no longer a separate miss roll. It is factored into the above roll.
    • Accuracy now directly counters evasion.
    • Ranged weapons no longer miss more easily than melee.
    • The smuggler ability “Lucky Breaks” now converts 1/3 of evasion into bonus defense (maximum 2 points per character level) to grant some extra survivability.
  • Very high numbers in stat bars are now abbreviated (at 10,000+).
  • PCs with the “Pampered” background now start with more credits.
  • The XP bar now displays (MAX) when you are ready to level.
  • The default shield now begins play with 14 shields.
  • Shield boosters from V-Ko are 25% cheaper.
  • The male naleen’s victory option “Buttfuck” has been renamed to “Catch Anal” for clarity.
  • You should now be able to level up by sleeping in a tent.
  • The bug in the storm lancer that gave no choices on encounter should be fixed.
  • Erika can now take virginities.
  • Fixed an erroneous mention of balls for herms in the VR miniquest during Kiro’s rescue.
  • Ramis now correctly takes virginity during morning sex.
  • The milk thief should now properly remove airtight flags.
  • The milk thief’s stims should work now.
  • Leithan legs/feet should no longer be described as “lizan” unless the individual has less than six legs.
  • Fixed a scene crash in the Doll 17 & 18 encounter.
  • Fixed an error with meeting Kally for crew Kiro.
  • Mitzi’s Vday event should properly give taint.
  • Fixed a parser bug in Jesse.
  • Visiting your baby laquines will no longer allow you to visit them for more than 5 hours. (Very high baby counts could result in 10+ day visits!)
  • You should be able to fly Ellie to the nursery now.

Pssst, we have a SubscribeStar too, now!

[Backers] Belated VDay + More

Sorry it took so long to get this patch out. House guests kept me from working till Tuesday, and a few hours of mental instability in the latter half of the evening kept me from doing anything but flipping through Netflix and bitching about how shitty every single movie option was. I did at least bang out most of the ~30 pages of William’s V-Day event.

0.8.060 Changelog:

  • Bianca’s Valentine’s Day event is in! …Except I’m pretty sure the holiday already expired in TiTS, so you’ll need to use the ’tistheseason’ cheat to re-activate it. If you’ve had sex 5 times with her, you should be able to encounter her for a sweet and loving event with chocolate, wine, and plenty of Oral. The event requires her to be on the same planet as you and should trigger on a town square not far from each locale’s spaceport. (Written by: William)
  • Gel Zon can now get you pregnant! The coder on this project (Gena138) is trying out pregnancy coding for the first time, so there may be some bugs and goblins to shake out. Pregnancy fetishists: this is your time to shine! If you notice any strange behavior related to this, please avail yourself of our bug report forums – and attach a copy of your save to help us investigate! (Written by: Maye)
  • Losing to Milodan males while under the effects of Omega Oil have some new scenes – and a bad end! (Written by: Meaty Ochre & Coded by: Gena138)
  • Selling sap to Kelly should now unlock the Synth Sap item, which has been lurking in the code for…. 4 years now. Yeesh!
  • Amber’s appearance screen now properly updates with Throbb usage.

0.8.061 Changelog:

  • By request of her author, Bianca’s V-day event now also requires the time be after 8pm (hour 20) in order to trigger… in addition to her being on the same planet as you and all the other stuff.

Now that the “NEEDS CODED NOW” stuff is handled, I’m gonna go sit on my couch and catch up on some horribly delayed projects needing edits/reviews via laptop.

[Backers | TiTS] *Guitar Riff* AND TWINS!

The twins are quite… meaty. (Art by Adjatha)

0.8.059 Changelog:

  • New enemy encounter in Kiro’s rescue quest: the twins! You can run into these slutted up mega-ausar on the eastern arc of Doctor Po’s freighter. Once you’ve defeated them in battle, they’ll happily provide you with all kinds of fun. Just be careful – they’re loaded with taint! (Written by QuestyRobo, coded by gena138)
  • New bust: the twins!
  • New Amber Scene: Giving Her Throbb. She’ll take up to two doses, but the second one is a doozy! (Appearance screen updates pending text from Wsan.) (Written by Wsan, coded by Leykoss)
  • New Codex entry: Zaika. Unlocked by travelling to Dhaal or encountering the Milk Thief, either or.
  • The Poe A amazon costume’s height limit was reduced to 10′ because I’m tired of arguing about what the height limit is supposed to be because I allowed one exception. Sorry!
  • Fixes for the turning tricks status effect at Beth’s. (By LoriJ)
  • The entire game should now be up to par with the new lustChange functions. It also shouldn’t display changes of ‘0’ any longer. This was edits to hundreds of files, so apologies if some more stuff got broke.
  • More assorted bug fixes.

The milk bar update is coming, I swear. We had a 2.5 hour meeting to nail down some more details of the planet and how the main quest will proceed. We’ve broken up assignments amongst a bunch of us in order to hopefully keep things rolling forward fastish.

UPDATE: Next patch there will be an item they drop that lets you repeat their defeat events :3

Adorable fentaur by ToonNik over on public discord!

Hey guys! New month, new public patch! It’s funny. I’ve been talking about how there’s not enough content for this month, but there’s actually quite a meaty slab of delights to hand off to you guys! I made a ton of tiny changes today, so there’s likely some new bugs to be found and reported. If I stirred up anything game-breaking, rest assured I’ll try to get it later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Enjoy the new content until then!

And have a wonderful weekend. -Fen

0.8.058 Changelog:

  • I pushed a change that should prevent your first travel to Mhenga from having a chance at ship combat. That happening created a bug where the ship would not be accessible to the player. Hopefully it is resolved now.

0.8.057 Changelog:

  • Image Pack updated! Requires standalone flashplayer to use.
  • Character creation now routes you directly to Mhen’ga.
  • The landing pad elevator in Mhen’ga has been simplified for ease of newbie-navigation.
  • New functions for displaying changes to stats like combat damage have been added.
  • Colors for gaining/losing HP, Lust, Energy, and Shields have been added or updated.
  • Almost all items have been updated to display changes to the above stats more clearly.
  • Approximately half the game has been updated for lust changes. There are a LOT of those to find and change, and I can’t just find->replace them all because they are sometimes placed in places that would flow badly, or as part of log messages that aren’t compatible with this system.

Kally lines by Tsuda, colors by Tisinrei.

What’s New This Month?:

  • New item type & slot: Tents! You start with one, and a number have been added to the game. They let you sleep in hazard zones. Enjoy!
  • New Image Pack Images: Bianca Face Sitting, Kally Appearance, and Poster.
  • New Busts: Celise, Giga-Celise, Drink Cows, Myssah, Female Raskvel, Pregnant Female Raskvel, and Warden Kasmiran.
  • New Ship Decoration: Kally’s hiring post, obtainable from the Kui Country Bar & Grill’s bathroom.
  • New Planet: Dhaal! (with massively incomplete street descriptions…)
  • New Locale on Dhaal: Capsule Hotel!
  • New Locale on Dhaal: a Milk Bar! Indulge in delightfully flavored beverages directly from the cow-girl/tap!
  • New Enemy on Dhaal: The Milk Thief! This Zaika wants milk and doesn’t want to take no for an answer!
  • New Enemy on Uveto: Milodan Futazon Scourge! Comes in two varieties too!
  • New Follower: Bimbo Kiro! She doesn’t yet have all her scenes, but they will be coming!
  • New Items: A swath of weapons now populate Kattom’s inventory on Dhaal.
  • VIP service from Walnut & Chestnut (Zheng Shi Tap-Hall Rodenians).
  • A new scene for Slavebreakers on Zheng Shi: “Rut Fuck.”
  • Crew Kiro now has a threesome available with Mitzi. You can start it from either character’s sex menu. Turns out you can make a goblin airtight!
  • Zheng Shi’s mine section should now be soft-lock proof.
  • Fantasize now gives a report on exactly how much lust it generates.
  • The Codex Sidebar’s visibility has been improved.
  • SteeleTech jumpsuits are now available from Vahn and Synphia.
  • HumpHard Inc has been removed from the game and its products distributed to more developed corporations.
  • Big mimbrane nerfs.
  • ReductPro can now be used on more parts.
  • Tons of bugfixes. Seriously.

[Backers | TiTS & CoC2] Night of the Face-Fuckening

February 4, 2020
ArtTrials in Tainted Space

I certainly want to work there…

TiTS 0.8.056 Changelog:

  • New scene for Dhaal’s Milk Thief: Facefucking, by Will. This scene has… more variations than I am comfortable trying to enumerate. Suffice to say: there were over 10 pages of orgasm variations alone, including lots of cameo text for unfinished follower. I also chipped in a few nods to some of my own followers. There are a ton of variations for personality types as well. I hope you guys enjoy it!
  • New Item Slot: Tent. This item allows you to safely sleep in “hazard” areas every now and then with better tents allowing more frequent use. All players should automatically have a JoyCo tent by default.
  • New Items: JoyCo Hardlight Tent (VKo), SteeleTech Hardlight Tent (Anno), KihaCorp Tent (Emmy), and Reaper Armaments Tent (Nerrasa).
  • New Image Pack Images – Kally’s bar appearance & Kally’s bar poster. Both have lines by Tsuda and colors by Tisinrei.
  • New decoration: Kally’s bar poster. It can be stolen from the bathroom after a tough aim check. (Decorations are items you can place in your ship, adding their text (and image in the image pack) to your in-ship display.
  • Various bug fixes.
  • New image pack link will be posted for Backers.

Public patch coming Thursday. The milk bar completion will probably land in the backer patch following it.

CoC2 0.2.36 Patch Notes:

  • Kinu now grows up into adulthood after freeing her and her mother from the Orb. There’s a lot of content to go along with it. (By TheObserver, coded by Leykoss)
  • You can now get an extra storage chest from Senja Evergreen after finishing her mother’s quest. Beware: there’s a high cost! (By me, coded by Leykoss)
  • After sex, you can now give Cait a smooch where the sun don’t shine. (By Skow, coded by Leykoss)
  • You can encounter a drunk Hashat out in the wilderness and join her for a drink and a thighjob. Must have met her 5+ times before. (ditto)

Hashat’s bust done by Nik!

Kiyoko Post-Freedom content should be on the docket for next patch. The floofening continues apace!
