Finally, a patch! I cranked pretty hard this week getting all my ducks in a row for this patch, and I was thrilled to discover that we had even more delicious content coded in piping-hot from Leek. Check out the overly detailed patch notes below for a look at what’s coming in the patch, or look at the giant dragon dick-girl on the right if that’s more your speed. (More pixels are included in the Patreon and SubscribeStar posts!)

0.9.059 Changelog:

  • [Public] The Tainted Rusher is now available for all.
  • [Backers] Emese, the cat mommy (written by Doots), can be found on Uveto’s main street. (Leek)
  • [Backers] Sisterly Ruuing by William: With both Anno and Syri as crew members, and after both have acquired their maid costumes, players with a penis can trigger a new random event by simply boarding their ship in which the two Dornas tempt you with the prospect of domming them both in bed. Which of the two siblings gets to be first? (Leek)

  • Adjatha makes the most drool-worthy art.

    [Backers] New encounter on Phaedra: the Kihan Armature. It happens in a specific location on the way northwards in the east half of the map. This peaceful encounter will give you a little lore and set you up for the next piece of content…

  • [Backers] New NPC: Syne! After encountering the Armature in the wastes, Syne will be added to the random encounter table. She will give you a chance to help her out with a little problem she has: a mega-varmint inside a crashed ship with valuable data.
  • [Backers] New Micro-Dungeon: The Crashed Ship. This small dungeon features some puzzles, a fight with a nasty beastie, and the chance to get the ultimate in optional loot: sweet cologne.
  • [Backers] New Rooms: Phaedra’s first explorable area has been fully charted out for exploration. Room descriptions are still pending.
  • New Systems: Irradiated (and Heavily Irradiated) rooms, that can be protected against with airtight armor or armors tagged with the new “Rad Hardened” flag (not on any items YET). Radiation reduces all your stats by one when entering a square afflicted with it (more for heavy radiation). The effect is cured by your enhanced immune system at a rate of 1 point an hour, though at the expense of picking up a point of taint for each point of radiation damage healed.
  • You can no longer rest or sleep in irradiated areas.
  • Other actions or event procs that occur in radiated areas will not negatively penalize you. Radiation only applies with movement, as stacking up a huge debuff because you procced an autofellatio event would be hellaciously unfun. We’re here for fun, not gritty simulation.
  • Fixed a number of crash bugs related to recent code refactoring work. (Jacques00)
  • Fixed some navigational oddities and button updates connected to the Mail and Level Up screens. (Jacques00)
  • Added new parameter to control the image offsets via the manifest. This lets us control the position where the image is visible within the image boundaries (not physically cropping, but visually cropping the image)–useful for the combat layouts. So far, only one bust uses this, but we can add it to more busts, where applicable. (Jacques00)
  • The Level Up screen have some visual improvements. New additions will have a highlight color for the text and new/unchosen perks will have a color strip on the side of their level numbers. (Jacques00)
  • Perks on Level screen will display “Locked” for locked perks to preserve the “sense of achievement”. All unlocked perks can now be clicked on to display the perk’s information at any time. (Jacques00)
  • Added a receipt printout on the Level Up prompt so the user can review all the changes before they confirm. (Jacques00)
  • User can now Accept the level up to obtain the auto-gained class perks without needing to change the other stat and perks first. (Jacques00)
  • Minor updates to the piercing menu for better clarity. (Jacques00)
  • Cleaned up several items that had redundant defines for attackVerb and unused stat blocks. (Jacques00)
  • lowercase_donkey scurried through the code trying to bring us up to proper standards and cleared a bunch of bugs in the process.
  • lowercase_donkey broke and subsequently fixed a bunch of creature description functions.
  • Fixed a crash related to cumflating pregnant PCs. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed the mouse mechanic not appearing in Zheng Shi. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Extensive typo fix for a weird pattern: “Your scratch your nose.” (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed a vagId issue in Cackler. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Deployed a fix for Azra laying pipe in the text (“|”). (lowercase_donkey)
  • More work on getting a consistent palette of colors to pass around to places players can choose colors. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Spelling and text fixes for lots of Phaedra scenes. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Narc italic fix.(lowercase_donkey)

I wanted to have this Phaedra micro-dungeon in you all’s hands today, but I hit a couple slowdowns polishing up things that cost me some time, and I’d like to be able to hotfix up any problems that crop up quickly. Expect it to hit Wednesday and finally nudge the plot forward. This will give me some time to beat on things like the new “Irradiated” debuff that can stack up in certain areas and build out a little more depth to the radiation system to allow for two grades of danger and protection against it.

Soon!

[TiTS] It’s Raining Rasks

Hey all, another week has come and gone, and another TiTS patch has come due. This time we have juicy new backer-only content in the form of the Soaked Raskvel! Can Captain Steele survive the depredations of another horny alien? Will she manage to make it back to the ship unspoiled, or stagger back every bit as dripping and satisfied as the raskvel she just met?

Her (or his!) fate is in your hands~!

Of course, the public crowd gets a treat too – the GravCuffs scene for the firepup (Corana Lord Flamer), and a nuki’-load worth of improvements to various systems across the breadth of the game: new item icons, better handling of hyper-sized menus, micro-minimap mode, and general stability improvements, to list a few. A more comprehensive breakdown in the notes below, if you fancy a glance into the mind of resident code-dragon extraordinaire, Gedan.

If that’s not enough, how about a preview of things to come? I’m going to drop another patch (hopefully by Monday, against the wishes of my betters), that will expand the explorable area of Phaedra II with the first real chunks of its permanent rooms, leading up to a plot-NPC and micro-dungeon Savin has had on the back-burner for a while. I just have a tricky status effect problem to figure out, some repeatable sex scenes to wire up, and a few hours of testing & cleanup to do on it for next week.

0.9.057:

  • Proper art for the Soaked Raskvel is on the way, but for now, you’ll have to use your imagination and this low-rez preview of her sex-scene bust, as sketched by Adjatha.

    BACKER: A Soaked Up Raskvel is now encounterable on Tarkus in the Rust Plains and Rust Ridges biomes – at level 8 or above. (Altair Hayes & Leek)

  • PUBLIC: The firepup has a new scene that requires a set of GravCuffs. (William & Leek)
  • Added multi-page button chunking to a few more menus spread around the game. (Jacques & lowercase_donkey)
  • Added item icons for bikini-type items. (Jacques)
  • Added another minimap mode for a micro-display of the map, exposed under Controls in the options menu. This moves the minimap to the area that the bust is nominally displayed on the sidebar, whilst the bust display is rolled out to its larger format. (Jacques)
  • Added the Classy flag to a few more clothing items, where it makes sense for the item to be such. (Jacques)
  • Added number formatting to the Reproduction stats display. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed vendors who previously bought Gadget items should now also purchase Salvage items, after some old Gadget items were converted to Salvage. (Jacques)
  • Fixed the kitty trio credit cost being applied on the first encounter with them. (Gedan)
  • Fixed hasFangs error and expanded the list of face types that count as having fangs. (Jacques)
  • Fixed a few issues around button paging generation systems. (Jacques)
  • Fixed some implementation issues around Paige’s scene mesh so that they better cooperate with how the genitalRouter methods pass arguments around behind the scenes. Similar tweaks have been made to a few other characters scenes (Kiro, Pexiga and Ramis the main other offenders), but Paige stands out as having the most potential scenes impacted by the issue by a long way. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed an issue with a Penny scene where automatic genital selection can fail and present an invalid index to a following scene. (Gedan)
  • Fixed a common issue with failing to close italics tags after a double-quote that follows a parenthesis. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed some backend issues relating to item icons used by the inventory system to make them apply more correctly and automatically. (Jacques & lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed a variety of issues relating to the SVG Mannequin, which should fix some focus loss issues and reduce the volume of re-renders that needed to happen in the past of the whole UI, as well as helping clean up some value-stability issues that were occasionally impacting players. (Jacques & Gedan)
  • Fixed a few armor and clothing items that had an inconsistent typing. (Jacques)
  • Fixed removeVaginaLocked() issue. (Jacques)
  • Fixed inconsistent colour data and presentation used across a lot of items behind the scenes, moving these items to using a shared “library” of color information and ordering. (lowercase_donkey & Jacques)
  • Fixed more potential issues with the modal button debounce method, replacing it with a means of only allowing a single activation of each button per render of the UI. (Gedan)
  • Fixed possible rendering issues and offsets with busts displayed in combat. (Jacques)
  • Fixed bust image offsets not being properly applied to the image gallery preview images. (Jacques)
  • Fixed a bunch of typos. (The Usual Suspects)

The update – she cums!

…is it too late to rebrand after the javascrypt conversion?

Gedan gave me a poke this morning to indicate that another big ol’ batch of bug fixes was ready, so lets get right into the meat and potatoes of it.

0.9.054
  • Corrected the below save/load issue.

0.9.053:

  • [CRITICAL ALERT]: It has been discovered that saves made in this patch will not load. We will deploy an update ASAP to resolve this. We recommend holding off on this patch for the time being.
  • [New Public Content] Penny Pirate Suck! It’s now possible to have the Cyberpunk Cheetah Pirate suck off your loyal futanari cumslut (or bimbo) fox, written by Fenoxo, coded by Fenoxo, Fenoxo’d by Fenoxo.
  • [New Backer Content] It is now possible to take Anyxine on a date.
  • [Now Public] Anno can introduce you to a trio of kitty cats when boarding your ship at Tavros station once you have met Urbolg, adding a new repeatable fap scene. (William & Leek)
  • [Big Fix] Several Perks that were intended to make permanent adjustments to the players resistance stats (Tough, Tough 2, Helldiver, etc) were not actually applying the modifications due to Javascript being Javascript. 0/10 coding language, do not pass go, do not collect 200 bikini babes (or bros). This should be fixed now, with old saves being properly upgraded to have the correct values applied. (Gedan)
    • Also Helldiver’s perk text has been updated to correctly state “burning” damage instead of “thermal”. Note the old text may be stored on old saves. (Fenoxo)
  • [Semi-Big Fix] Order of post-combat events should be corrected so that the screen properly clears and doesn’t append your victory (or defeat) text directly onto the enemy appearance text.
  • The Tainted Rusher’s encounters now require you to experience the previous planet’s encounter before running into them on the next planet – this should address inconsistencies in the events where scenes would act like you recognized before you even met them, and guarantee proper continuity of their content. (Jacques00)
  • Shower jerkoff options have been further unfuckulated. (Gedan)
  • You can no longer use the Prostitute Pro to commit fraud on Breedwell. (DrunkZombie)
    • To prevent an infinite money exploit, Steeles can no longer use Breedwell Pods with an implanted Prostitute Pro.
  • If the player is flying, they will no longer pancake on the overpass during Feruze’s fight, and will instead zip out of the way. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed incorrectly gendering enemies who cannot reach you while you are flying. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed Bianca’s icon appearing on Myrellion even during her off hours. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed the Easter Zaika’s bust being broken, and numerous typos. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Somebody did a find & replace across the codebase to remove “public” from the code – something that would frequently appear before function definitions in flash but doesn’t need to be there nowadays. It ate a lot mentions of republics, etc in the Codex articles. This has been corrected. (lowercase_donkey)

  • SteeleTech turrets may not be the best turrets, but they’re efficient, durable, and highly-repairable with minimal power tools.

    Work on fixing hard crashes related to custom busts & image gallery code. (Gedan & Jacques00)

  • Taking the Tainted Rusher’s virginity is now tracked. (Jacques00)
  • Tainted Rusher combat texts should support non-PC targets. (Jacques00)
  • Made some under the hood changes to how Tainted Rusher bust displays are called to support future art. (Jacques00)
  • The weapon output for ship combat has been converted to a proper table layout. (Jacques00)
  • Adjusted appearanceWornCollar() in appearance to only show on the player character’s appearance output. (Jacques00)
  • Fixes for temporary color values in game. (Jacques00)
  • All [pc.Name] parser calls should be changed to [pc.name]. This will not force uppercase on name output for those who want to have a lowercase name. Personally I (Fen) had done this intentionally because I figured a fair number of players might just type in a name without worrying about proper casing, but I suppose some players also want to be able to further dehumanize their characters. (Jacques00)
  • lowercase_donkey did a lot of find & replacing of formatting things for eslint.
  • Reviewed and updated all race() checks and simplify to raceShort() (or isAusar(), isCat() or isDog()), where appropriate. (Jacques00)
    • Adjusted some race outputs. * The “horse” and “demon” races should now be “equine-morph” and “demon-morph”, respectively.
    • The “amazon” “race” output should slightly vary based on gender.
    • Race output override moved down slightly to better accommodate any prefix/suffix changes.
    • The stripped-down version of myr races (red, gold, orange) should now be “myrmydion”, so it’ll be easier to find all variants of the race with raceShort, and the specific race with a race().indexOf().
    • Many instances of Terran have been replaced with human.
  • Re-added in cowScore() for checks that only want the cow score value without the added bovine score. (Jacques00)
  • Updates to the quest log. (Jacques00 & lowercase_donkey)
  • Some accessories incorrectly gained boot icons. This has been rectified. (Jacques00)
  • Numerous other smaller fixes, tweaks, changes, and find-and-replaces. (THE TEAM <3)

Gedupdate

Art by: ototatx (via Discord!)

Another quick, off-cycle update to clean up some more things; last week I shoved out a replaced system to handle keeping track of how and when the UI changes between different display layouts. In the past we only had the possibility to track a single previous layout and some minor additional data with it (generally main text and buttons) – it was basically a bit of a hackjob that I cobbled together when getting the initial port work together enough to start seeing the game work, but over time as we’ve made the UI more complicated, it became clear the limitations were becoming ever more problematic to work around. We had to build more and more special cased code to handle exactly what we wanted to happen in certain circumstances and it was just generally a goddamn mess. I took it as far as I could, but it was clear we’d be chasing issues with it basically forever.

I had an idea of a better way to approach it that would allow us to strip out most if not all of the special casing; now we only need maybe one or two special cases in strategic places (essentially only for the main menu, to deal with when a gamestate is or isn’t available and what should happen in that case) but I kept putting it off, hoping One Last Set Of Bandaids would cover everything; and without fail, more shit would crop up that would need another set of bullshit to get working. The downside being, now I gotta fish out all of the special casing that had built up over time and strip a bunch of that shit out so we can just rely on the state stack instead. With as many submenus and sub-submenus we have, it turns out there was a lot more of this garbage that needed to get thrown out that I expected, but I think most of it should be out on its ass now. At least it’s given me an opportunity to carefully comb over all of the little bandaids we’ve stacked up over time, which has let me find a few sneaky bugs that existed under the old system that’ll finally be getting fixed to boot.

0.9.052, builds 3334 and up:

  • Added busts for ST Turrets, Divrani Cultist, Shalin Shaman and Cheetah Pirate. (Adjatha & Fenoxo)
  • Fixed some more of the submenu loops under appearance. (Gedan)
  • Fixed a react error in the lightsout minigame. (Gedan)

0.9.052:

  • Added special support to the Accept/Cancel keybinds to also apply to the “Your inventory is full” modal. (Gedan)
  • Added inline image support to the codex and added some new art assets to squeeze into the codex. (Jacques)
  • Rebalanced the level 2 tainted rusher encounter. (Fenoxo)
  • Rebalanced available hours for the Pumpking encouter. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed appearance screen submenus softlocking into loops. (Gedan)
  • Fixed a potential issue with the level up screen that could in rare instances result in a softlocked menu. (Gedan)
  • Fixed the image scaling option not properly applying. (Jacques)
  • Fixed the data menu sometimes not initiating in the correct mode layout. (Gedan)
  • Fixed a menu to options to menu loop using the escape keybind. (Gedan)
  • Fixed an issue with the mail and mail setup system that could result in loops and weirdness when backing out of the mails. (Gedan)
  • Fixed a button configuration error in a shower masturbate menu. (Gedan)
  • Fixed autopathing always disabling after navigating a single room. (Gedan)
  • Fixed Johr and the Pumpkings attack text appending to the players attack text. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed the room configuration around the Pumpking encounter. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed the room configuration around Kally’s house. (Fenoxo)

Armature, Adjatha

Swinging in with some fixes for the UI state system that got swapped out over the weekend – I left a couple of dumbs scattered around, as is the style, and they needed to get cleaned up. That was part of the plan I guess about doing a sneaky extra update over the weekend, with a push to clean up whatever cropped up during the regular patch time. There’s still a couple of weird issues around, but I don’t think they’re caused by the new state system, they’ve been kicking around for a while and simply exacerbated by the new changes rather than being caused by them, and I’ll be continuing to look into them and get them fixed as soon as I can figure out the causes.

Tired, so keepin in short. Back 2 da mines…

0.9.051:

  • BACKER: There is now a tainted rusher that you can encounter on a variety of planets as a random combat event. (Fr0sty & Leek)
  • PUBLIC: Added scene for Naomi, a cowgirl on New Texas that got stood-up and is looking for revenge. Available to bipedal Steeles with a cock. Will trigger randomly along the main street between the hours of 1800 and 2400 with a 1 week cooldown. (Written by Damie, coded by DrunkZombie)
  • Added cheats to reset Delilah and Akane content. (Jacques)
  • Added an extra option to TapTooltip mode; you can now choose to have buttons generate a filler tooltip (thus always requiring two taps to activate buttons), or only require two taps on buttons that have actual tooltips (and buttons without tooltips will activate on the first tap). (Gedan)
  • Fixed the control overlay not quite working with the new UI state stack. (Jacques)
  • Fixed mail buttons, enabling and disabling them respective to the currently viewed folder. (Jacques)
  • Fixed some lingering remnants of the old UI state system. (Gedan)
  • Fixed the data menu state code to align more with how all other UI states are transitioned in and out. (Gedan)
  • Fixed a crash backing up from the data menu when on the main menu without a gamestate active. (Gedan)
  • Fixed the findLast crashes under android. (Gedan)
  • Fixed a ton of potential null/undefined checks inherited from AS3 era code. (Jacques)
  • Fixed the experimental undo system not cooperating with the new UI state stack system. (Gedan)
  • Fixed Bizzy busts going missing when she wears a collar outside the matching body type in the art. (Jacques)
  • Fixed Sera busts showing a dongle when clothed. (Jacques)
  • Fixed some missing descriptions in the image manifest. (Jacques)
  • Fixed some scroll height issues in the codex when the control overlay is enabled. (Jacques)
  • Fixed a crash with Black Void grunts. (Jacques)
  • Fixed a variety of issues and oversights with the porting of Mimbranes, re-enabling some combat and time-passage events. (Jacques)
  • Fixed Sturm and Drang using an incorrect accuracy value. (Jacques)
  • Fixed the placement of some tease buttons in the combat menu. (Jacques)
  • Fixed Jasvalla becoming inactive when levelling past her existing level ranges. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed some inactive content that was waiting for Gianna crew to happen in some Bess scenes. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed potential issues with the way saving is blocked, unifying access to the variable that controls it. (Gedan)
  • Fixed some issues with Leithan and Raskvel body part type instances. (Jacques)
  • Fixed Galomax consumption softlocks. (Gedan)
  • Fixed a crash in Riyaquest relating to the Security Droids blowing up (in this case, literally). (Gedan)
  • Fixed typos in many places. (Jacques, lowercase_donkey, Gedan)

Cheetah, Adjatha

UPDATE: Got a few solid fixes to handle some issues that have come up as part of the new storage limits, shoving them out of the door earlier than otherwise so we can see if there’s another layer of problems hiding below the immediate ones! Update should allow more flexibility with ship storage limits when moving items around, and this should hopefully provide (the start) of a full fix for weird UI display loops doing weird things.

I’m still bouncing back and forth between being ill and not quite so bad, but I spent most of the week digging into deeply annoying bugs that have been lingering for a couple of weeks, on top of piles of things that recent reworks have caused. I’ve barely been able to keep up with the report volume for the last couple of weeks as it is, but this past week has been especially bad so I’ve put everybody on notice – no more reworks until the bug backlog is looking much, much healthier. There’s a couple of important things that need to get fixed, and I want to be able to focus on them rather than worrying about treading water with a couple of bigly fucko bugs being introduced because I blinked and didn’t meticulously review every line of every pull request.

DZ and Jacques have jumped in pretty hard to start chopping back some of the more volumous reports, and it’s given me an opportunity to fish out some rather annoying fuckos that took a while to root around and find the true cause of. Leek also came in clutch with dropping the system required for us to support animations; namely, a system to support video embeds just like our existing image embedding scheme. There’ll likely be some more work put towards this to further tune it, but for now there’s a handful of scenes that we have animations for that are finally wired up!

Back 2 da mines.

0.9.050:

  • Added a cheat to enable “infinite” storage for location and ship storage inventories. (Gedan)
  • Added a lot more polish to the entire video/animation system, including: Scaling, Autoplay configuration, Image viewer support, Playback controls. (Jacques)
  • Fixed UI state changes between different displays by using a fully detailed stack of displays and associated settings required to return to them. This has nessecitated removing a lot of special casing from the old way state transitions were handled, and some of it may still remain which is likely to cause issues. (Gedan)
  • Fixed potential softlocks with the new ship storage inventory limits by allowing more flexibility when the ship storage is overloaded; you can now accept trades whilst ship storage is overfull to allow you to move items bit by bit rather than needing to complete a singular trade that would leave both your personal inventory and ship inventory at or under their respective limits. (Jacques)
  • Fixed Leyak not being considered unique in combat. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed the formatting for nursery computer list output to better match list formatting used elsewhere in the game. (Jacques)
  • Fixed some issues with the Big Green Potion, including relaxing the skin color checks slightly. (Jacques)
  • Fixed Hrad race score labelling. (Jacques)
  • Fixed clarity on the level up screen. (Jacques)
  • Fixed the trade summary screen with ship inventory not displaying the correct slot counts that are actually in-use. (Gedan)

0.9.049:

  • BACKER: The firepup has a new scene that requires a set of GravCuffs. (William & Leek)
  • PUBLIC: A Cyber Punk-modded Clydesdale K7 I’ve been calling the Cyberdale. Guess what? It uses the holographic duplicate system! She’ll surrender if you pop her mirrored images and drop her shields, but you can always ignore them to take out her armor. Comes with two new victory sex scenes! (This encounter requires Zheng Shi’s coordinates to be unlocked in order to occur.) (Fenoxo)
  • Added support for video embeds. (Leek)
  • Added a bunch of animations that we’ve collected over the years to a variety of scenes, namely Maja, Bianca.
  • Added support for in-game emails to support embedded images. (Leek)
  • Added better visibility to stat totals in the level up screen. (Fenoxo)
  • Rebalanced resolve so that it no longer boosts max willpower. (Fenoxo)
  • Rebalanced the counter rate of the Kashima event. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed nursery computer ‘undefined character’ crash. (Jacques)
  • Fixed additional buttons in Ilaria menus. (DrunkZombie)
  • Fixed Kaede sex menu buttons missing. (DrunkZombie)
  • Fixed custom bet issues with blackjack. (Jacques)
  • Fixed a few blackjack hand vs house winning issues. (Jacques)
  • Fixed a handful of issues with text input elements and when they are displayed and removed. (Jacques)
  • Fixed the win/loss count for blackjack hands and enhanced legibility of values. (Jacques)
  • Fixed tease combat crash. (Jacques)
  • Fixed “Lust Staggered” crash. (Jacques)
  • Fixed outfit visibility checks. (Jacques)
  • Fixed “isAndroidBrowser” crash. (Jacques)
  • Fixed RatsRaiders crash. (Gedan)
  • Fixed a crash that can sometimes happen when loading a game relating to achievement historical tracking. (Gedan)
  • Fixed a bunch of missing Sera busts. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed a few crashes in some Punk SpecOps scenes. (Gedan & lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed incorrect handling of permanent flying status for a handful of enemy types. (Gedan)
  • Fixed removeStatusByRef ship crashes. (Gedan)
  • Fixed Zaika Ganger menu buttons not properly clearing. (DrunkZombie)
  • Fixed the Clear button not being very… clear on the custom bust image editor. (Jacques)
  • Fixed a Tarratch Slaver buttfuck scene crash. (DrunkZombie)
  • Fixed a broken room in the myrellion caves that blew up the autopathing system. (Gedan)
  • Fixed ship storage limits not being properly applied. (Gedan)
  • Fixed Sturm and Drang using a base ranged attack implementation instead of a base melee attack implementation. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed the bonus from Boundless Reserves. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed the “Nake” player gender issue. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed some issues with the combat tease menu button generation system. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed a potential crash relating to “childNodes” that can happen when mashing a keybind to open an inventory display and a key that would navigate the inventory at the same time. (Gedan)
  • Fixed completing malai quest not unlocking the additional scenes as expected. (Gedan)
  • Fixed Sera’s Sterilix option being available too early. (DrunkZombie)
  • Fixed porn studio name brands on Reaha, Sera and Mitzi. (DrunkZombie)
  • Fixed Jasvalla not handling neuter players by disabling encounters with Jasvalla while a neuter*. This will be rectified better when we have opportunity to rework the scenes to better handle this eventuality. (DrunkZombie)
  • Fix for a rare Nuka crash that happens if a previous encounter was not cleaned up properly (isTainted is not a function). (lowercase donkey)
  • Fixed a bunch of typos and italics bleeds all over the place. (Jacques, lowercase_donkey & DrunkZombie)

Cultist, Adjatha

I’ve been in and out of hospital a bunch over the last couple weeks and it’s thrown me off track a bit – nothing super serious but enough to need to make me drag my ass there. Sure do love sitting my ass in waiting rooms for a couple of hours at a time, twiddling my thumbs!!! Everybody else has been hard at the grindstone in my absence though, so there’s plenty of fixes to go around.

What little time I’ve had to focus has been rifling through annoying bugs and reports for shitty handling of things on different platforms. A lot of these turn into “No Good Answers” problems, so morph into a challenge of thinking up some bullshit to work around the issue and make things at least usable. Big shout out to Android browsers here for doing weird shit with overlapping elements throwing off our positional calculations for the page.

Fen has been fishing through combat code and rebalancing things as part of laying down code for new perks and levels, fixing up annoying little issues that have cropped up over time with how we’ve ended up implementing a lot of combat attacks in practice. Point of fact, that’s what most of us have kind of been doing this week; rifling through combat stuff and cleaning up lots of little bits and pieces here and there that have stacked up over time.

Back to da mines!

  • Walking around on New Texas should no longer crash due to a misconfigured feature flag on the newer cow-girl encounter.

0.9.047:

  • BACKER: Anno can introduce you to a trio of kitty cats when boarding your ship at Tavros station once you have met Urbolg, adding a new repeatable fap scene. (William & Leek)
  • PUBLIC: There’s a new extrameet scene variant for some Kaede and Anno funtimes. (Savin & Gedan)
  • PUBLIC: Bizzy has a couple of extra scenes, one some solo action and a few involving Reaha. (Nonesuch & Leek)
  • Added additional clarity when taking actions via the inventory. (Jacques)
  • Added an icon for skintight/underlayer armor. (Jacques)
  • Added scanlines behind big item images. (Jacques)
  • Rebalanced how blindMiss was implemented, effectively removing it as a seperate step in the combat calculation flow, thus allowing blind status effects to more consistently be applied. (Fenoxo)
  • Rebalanced how status effects are processed for combat, aligning the processing step with how general status effects are handled and also hopefully scraping a bit more performance out of combat processing at the same time. This process also likely fixed some lingering/hidden issues with some combat effect processing that have gone unreported, but it has also probably introduced entirely new fun bugs as well! Whee! (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed verbiage and application of gas grenade damage when used against the player. (lowercase_donkey & Fenoxo)
  • Fixed GaloMax softlock. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed an errant unimplemented text variant in a Sophora scene. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed a lot of errant variable shadowing issues behind the scenes. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed many typos throughout the Hyrax content (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed typo in Twist the Knifes perk description. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed a variety of issues relating to the additional buttons displayed on the main menu for fullscreen & panic mode. (Jacques)
  • Fixed some layout issues relating to Android browser page rendering by forcibly moving the entire game UI out from under being overlapped by the address bar. Fullscreen mode is the intended means to work around the remaining layout issues whilst we investigate the true causes of a few other overlapped-by-system-component issues. (Jacques & Gedan)
  • Fixed a variety of issues with Zaalts attack implementations. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed how damage stacking works with Power Strike. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed errant text formatting issues with Low Blow. (Fenoxo)
  • Fixed a variety of typos throughout the spreadsheet panic screen. (Jacques)
  • Fixed NPC auto-orgasms from being tracked before the player has met the NPC in question. (Jacques)
  • Fixed a variety of lingering issues with the Grey Goo armor. Subscenes and features that were disabled as part of the port have been re-enabled, removing the Undroppable and Unsellable flags – if she is discarded, she can be reacquired on Myrellion via a random bar event or via Anno’s store. (Jacques)
  • Fixed typo in icon selection for acessory items. (Jacques)
  • Fixed some layout issues with the Achievement and Credit display screens. (Jacques)
  • Fixed crashes with the Tarratch Slaves. (Lighterflud)
  • Fixed potential Flash-to-JS imported save issues with broken ship weapon configurations. Ships with broken weapons should fix themselves. (Gedan)
  • Fixed crashes with the Akkadi Security Robots and the Target Link ability. (Gedan)
  • Fixed crashes with the Zaika Hazard Trooper. (Gedan)
  • Fixed text generation issues with the Zaika Hazard Troopers shield-break state. (Gedan)
  • Fixed issues with Bess/Ben’s title selection menu. (Gedan)
  • Fixed Extrameet codex entries being missing. (DrunkZombie)
  • Fixed typos with the Easter Jumper. (DrunkZombie)
  • Fixed missing virginity counts. (DrunkZombie)
  • Fixed Kattom being able to show up on Phaedra. (Gedan)

  • Fixed some border display issues with the control overlay button graphics. (Jacques)
  • Fixed a typo in a flag tracking some Vanae content. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed a typo in a flag tracking some Shou content. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed the ordering of Vaulting Strike and Sturm und Drang so that the perks better fit the columns they are presented in the level up screen as part of. (Gedan)
  • Fixed typos in many places. (DrunkZombie, lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed a flipped Lust/HP victory variant descriptor with the Tarratch Slavers. (Gedan)

[TiTS] They Fly Now?

Phaedra’s locals can be quite friendly!

Smugglers fly now.

They fly now.

(And the CoC2 folks pushed a big update with a dungeon or something!)

Fen here with an overdue update to give you the level 12 unlocks your hearts have been desiring. I’d like to give a big thanks to Savin for doing the hard work of getting some initial ability ideas down on a page and helping me refine them into their current form. We’ve already started work concepting for level 13 as well. Keep your eyes peeled for more news on that in the weeks to come – as well as me personally digging into the current Phaedra content to polish and balance around the new player abilities.

0.9.046:

  • New Busts: Nuka, Glowing Nuka, Medibot, Warboy, and Glowing Warboy. (Drawn by Adjatha, added to game by Leek)
  • [Currently Backer-only] Added scene for Naomi, a cowgirl on New Texas that got stood-up and is looking for revenge. Available to bipedal Steeles with a cock. Will trigger randomly along the main street between the hours of 1800 and 2400 with a 1 week cooldown. (Written by Damie, coded by DrunkZombie)
  • Maximum level has been increased to 12.
  • [Level 11] New Smuggler Perk: Die Another Day. When HP drops below 50%, recover 25% of your maximum HP and energy. And drop a flash grenade, because YOU AIN’T DYIN’ YET!
  • [Level 11] New Smuggler Chosen Ability: Twist the Knife. Your Sneak Attacks and Aimed Shots apply a bleed effect on your target for 50% of the damage. The bleed effect can stack, but it only lasts for one proc.
  • [Level 11] New Smuggler Chosen Ability: Booster Pack. Gain the “Flying” effect for four rounds, and the ability to trigger your Aimed Shot or Sneak Attack ability against enemies who are not flying (while you are). Feruze should’ve been a Smuggler.
  • [Level 11] New Mercenary Perk: Helldiver. +10% thermal resistance jumping feet-first into danger!
  • [Level 11] New Mercenary Chosen Ability: Vaulting Strike. Grants the ability to make a high damage melee attack that does +50% bonus damage to flying or tripped targets. Hmmm what else can I call +50% damage? Minicrits? MINICRITS BAYBEEE.
  • [Level 11] New Mercenary Chosen Ability: Sturm & Drang. Grants the ability to make one melee strike that procs a volley of ranged attacks like ‘Rapid Fire’ ability with enhanced accuracy and critical chance (+25%).
  • [Level 11] New Tech Specialist Perk: Perpetual Energy. Gain 1 energy each time damage is done to your shield.
  • [Level 11] New Tech Specialist Chosen Ability: Overclock. Give yourself the Haste condition for four turns, increasing your evasion by 5% and granting an extra attack for melee and ranged attacks. For when you absolutely gotta go fast.
  • [WARNING: ERROR PRONE] [Level 11] New Tech Specialist Chosen Ability: Deployable Turret. Slap a deployable turret onto the battlefield with a decent-sized laser cannon. Many older AI routines aren’t tuned for the possibility of a PC who adds an ally onto the field. That means they may attack the turret and display text that reads like they’re striking you. There is also a chance that it could introduce bugs into more script-heavy combat encounters like Feruze’s Taxi battle encounter. I will be working on clearing up as many issues as I can over the weekend, but just be aware of the instability this choice might introduce (for now).
  • [Level 12] New Perk: Boundless Reserves. Your energy maximum is increased to 150.
  • [Level 12] New Chosen Ability: Specialized Combatant. The flurry attack granted by Second Shot or Second Attack is upgraded to a full accuracy attack.
  • [Level 12] New Chosen Ability: Second Striker. Allows you to become comfortable making bonus flurry attacks with melee AND ranged attacks.
  • Bleed damage now bypasses shields.
  • Bleed now deals damage on the last turn of the effect (to enable the “Twist the Knife” ability for Smugglers).
  • The “Haste” effect is now shaded as STATUS_GOOD.
  • The “Flying” status can now be assigned with a duration, using its v1 value.
  • Some holiday tweaks and adjustments. (Not Holiday the character, sorry b-baka)
  • Tweaks and adjustments to the Player Character paperdoll display in the corner.
  • Added Achievements for Dhaal’s probe events. (Gedan)
  • Fix loading screen sometimes going past 100% (Lowercase_Donkey)
  • Fixes for Dreghan Catch scenes which sometimes confused ass and vagina, leading to some errors. (Lowercase_Donkey)
  • Fix for Tarkus sexbots using a vagina’s index to look up a cock, which might or might not exist. (Lowercase_Donkey)
  • Tweak nursery buttons for specific children to remove blanks spots. (Lowercase_Donkey)
  • Clean up and organize old code. (Lowercase_Donkey)
  • Numerous smaller fixes (and larger fixes that seem small on the surface) courtesy of Gedan, Jacques00, DrunkZombie, Lowercase_Donkey, etc.
