(CoC2 also released a public patch yesterday!)

Writing this feels like emerging from the dust to ask, “What year is it?” This Azra expansion has been an enormously long time coming, and I must apologize for the length of time between patches. Our other primary content coder was similarly abducted by a massive expansion at the same time, preventing us from having much to share for a little while, but now? Now we have TWO fully functional (and large-sized!) character expansions to sink your teeth into! Azra and Nasti are both rolling in steamy new content!

Meet Cleantha on the expedition! (By Adjatha

I must confess, this expedition has been a bit of a difficult birth for me. Conceptually, I had struggled to come up with a suitable set of plants to retrieve, let alone encounters that would be worth discovering for Myrellion. It’s one of our most well-developed and explored planets, with lots of content across hosts of civilizations and species. I personally was drawing a blank. It was a relief to be approached by Skom with his offer to pen it himself. I gladly accepted and helped brainstorm some of the initial ideas. We had a LOT of back and forths over a couple months, changing plenty here and there to keep me happy with how Azra was presented and keep him satisfied that he was getting to write the content he wanted to write. I know I’m not the easiest to work with, but he kept up with my shifting demands admirably.

The whole experience lit a real fire under my ass, and I wound up blocking out an entire follow-up expedition for Dhaal complete with puzzles, NPC personalities, and more already figured out. I hope to get on that soon, but there remain a few I’s to dot and T’s to cross before I can move on from this. The second rescued flora still needs added to her crew menu, and I intend to slide some further discussion of your relationship with Azra in along with it.

Stay tuned!

0.9.161 Changelog:

• HOTFIX #1: Fixed: azra.lust crash, rare eventQueue error crash during Azra’s expedition, and a Nastizia crash.
• [Backer Exclusive] Azra’s third expedition has finally landed! This level 10 adventure is almost entirely authored by Skom. The expedition crosses Myrellion’s deepest caves to capture a rare lichen and a species of non-aggressive tentacle vine. Along the way, you’ll encounter some rather atypical examples of Myrellion’s native species and fun new scenes to experience with them. I personally recommend fighting the final encounter for the two new weapons they have to drop! Completing the expedition will add a new thickness-reducing option to Azra’s plant samples menu, and sufficient testing will unlock an item that allows the player to toggle off breast swelling during lactation – a must for players who have grown tired of intrusive log updates! And of course, two new repeatable scenes have been added to Azra’s menus as well. (Coded by Fenoxo)
  • Warning: As fresh, very complicated content and transformations, it is recommended you preserve a copy of your save from before the mission in case of issues. I slammed so many genital permutations through the scenes to test them, but there may be crashes only wider testing can reveal.
  • Coming Soon Notice: the tentacle species will be added to the plant samples room soon. Top men are on it. TOP MEN. (Top Fen, lul)
  • Disclaimer: this content does not include pregnancy yet, but I’ve fully planned out an expedition on Dhaal that I’m itching to dig into that will bring us to that fabled land.
• [Backer Exclusive] Nastizia “PC Lost” Path Expansion. Penned by Nonesuch and coded by Leek, this massive expansion clocked in at over 200 pages in the original google doc. After “losing” the competition for the chance to breed her, you can continue to interact with them submissively, filling a new submission meter that unlocks more brazen use. Allows following along with Nastizia’s pregnancy and participating in the debauched parties that happen every three days. Includes chastity cage content and potential penis size reduction, for folks that are into those!
  • Twenty days after the events of Part 1, the player receives a formal invitation to return to Princess Nastizia’s temporary estate on Tavros. Nasti is now pregnant and intends to remain on the station throughout her pregnancy, hosting influential gatherings while preparing for her eventual ascension as heir to the Romavian throne. The player becomes a regular guest and confidant rather than a one-time visitor.
  • Nonesuch Disclaimer: “Hello, Nonesuch here. I’m aware that this expansion to Nasti will be aggravating to the players who’d sooner not submit to Riya. Firstly I want to reassure you that the win path *is* coming. I solemnly promise I’m not going to leave this content half-finished! Secondly I want to explain how this state of affairs came about, because it likely looks a bit troll-y from the outside. As I worked on the Nasti xpac it became obvious I was going to have to split the work in two: the loss path on its own ran to 88k words. And when I put the vote to my patrons as to which half I should focus on (they fund almost all my TiTS work these days), they wanted the loss half more! Subs have a tendency to put their money where their mouth is, I have found. So in summary: win half coming, market forces. I very much hope those of you who are into getting dommed by Lt. Batra enjoy it – I did put a lot of work into it. Thanks!”
• [Now Public] Venus!
• [Now Public] Since this patch was a long time coming, I bumped a bunch of new items to public access early. Enjoy!
• New Busts (by Adjatha): Giallo, Boshra, Cleantha, Nyrean Cuntboy
• New CGs (by ToonNik): Ardia reclining in bed and Syri’s crew toy mating press scene.
• New Ship Art: the K7 Clydesdale, by Lionpaws with edits by Jacques00. This one had been misfiled and cold storage, but we got it nice and warmed up for you.
• Added support for weapons that can only single attack in a round. (Fenoxo)
• The shrinkwrap bra should now be interactable. The menu will allow to squish your boobs down to specific sizes! (Jacques00)
• More spacesuits will allow spacewalks on Zheng Shi. (Jacques00)
• Potential crash fixes. (Jacques00)
• Improved lipstick description consistency. (Jacques00)
• Behemoth transformation scale color fixes. (Jacques00)
• Removed the Dhaal Maid Outfit from sale as the item and its procs did not meet our quality standards. It may return if it is touched up in the future. The files remain in the game, so players who have already purchased it may continue to use it (or load it with the cheat menu). (Fenoxo)
• Various other small fixes! (Mostly Jacques00, tbh)

Have a sneak peak at the first encounter on Azra’s upcoming expedition: a male Nyrea with a penchant for gambling.

I’m still cooking Azra’s quest (trust me, I’m not happy about it being unfinished either), but I couldn’t keep putting off a patch while I’m stuck ass-deep inside it, especially when there’s a backlog of community-submitted items and NPC to put in your hands!

0.9.160 Changelog:

• [Backer Exclusive] Giallo the male-presenting Rahn! You can find him hanging around New Texas. Written by badbreadpuns and coded by Leek.
• [Backer Exclusive] New Community-Authored Items: Antigrav Bottoms, Psyker Robes, Star King Tattoo Wrap, Clingy Tee, Tank top, Jacked Armbands, D-strings, Rectangular D-strings, Pixel D-strings, Dragon Tattoo Wraps, Woman Tattoo Wraps, Armor Tattoo Wraps, Muscle Shirts, Gun Control Armbands, Cowboi Boxers, Leather Vest & Chaps, Bodyshape Shirt, and the Bodyshape Shirt Plus. They’ll scattered around on a variety of clothing vendors across the game. The bodyshape line of shirts also include some actual resizing effects, for players who want to appear as a different thickness – or have a shirt that passively trims off any gained, excess thickness. (Coded by Leek, improved transformation texts & some tooltips rewritten by Fenoxo)
• [Backer Exclusive] New Community-Authored Transformation Item: Zhat Zhing! This item is sold by the Seer on Myrellion and transforms the imbiber into something called a yinglet (with permission from the creator of the species). Written by Jarylan and coded by Leek.
• [Now Public] Velika’s Expansion
• [Now Public] The Space Leviathan
• The Arctic Rescue Nurse Outfit was reworked. It’s no longer sold and is instead a rare drop on Uveto. The tooltip was rewritten to better fit the universe’s lore and the stats adjusted (generally buffed). The “self-rez” effect was slightly nerfed, reducing the amount of HP & lust recovered from 50%ish to 33%ish. Low-quality activation texts for the self-rez were also rewritten. (Fenoxo)
• Gas Greandes reworked: they now display individual messages for each NPC on the field instead of lumping the damage together for a single number display. The texts were also tweaked to be more straightforward. (Fenoxo)
• Pussy Plumpness has been reworked. A number of descriptions were only checking for the specific “slightly_pumped”, “pumped”, and “hyper_pumped” part flags, even though other effects have been added since that increase overall puffiness by one step (like the equine vagina type or a temporary effect like “Soak.” Description functions and appearance screen texts were updated to properly refer to the overall plumpness level (and also make sure not to use the “pumped” adjective unless you’ve actually been playing with the pump).
• Adjite Piercings were not causing their intended effects. They have been updated to cause swelling on certain body parts when equipped (penis, balls, vaginas, clits, breasts) and also increase the fluids produced by the associated part while worn, with certain piercings having stronger effects. A new Adjite piercing has also been added (but is not yet available – pending Azra’s 3rd expedition) with the strongest effects of all.
• The Survival Instincts perk should output more clearly and concisely when it activates. It was also adjusted for NPCs to make use of as well. (Fenoxo)
• Numerous combats with “survive X turns” as a victory condition had textual addendums added to more clearly signpost that your goal is simply to survive long enough. (Jacques00)
• Pregnancy improvements with the Gryvain Agent. (Jacques00)
• Breed N’ Brute and TamaniCorp Breed Ring should now trigger more reliably. (Jacques00)
• Fixes for the mannequin not rendering correctly.

It’s been a hot little minute, and let me start of by saying clearly that Azra’s quest isn’t quite ready yet – but it is baking to a nice golden brown in the code furnace at this very minute. I’d estimate it’s about half-cooked, depending on how long the finishing glaze takes.

In plainer terms, a few roadblocks have slowed me down. The most recent example? There’s an optional battle at the expedition’s midpoint with a trio of cockvines that seemed conceptually simple to implement – until I actually started trying to wire it up. They weren’t set up to properly handle multi-target battles at all, let alone having multiple cockvines on the field, each with their own progressive grappling actions going on, each dumping huge spammy attacks that were often three paragraphs long. Before I did anything else, I had to go through and convert all the:

"You dodge a tentacle." 
to 
"${StringUtil.capitalize(target.getCombatName(), false)} dodge
${target.isPlayer() || target.isPlural ? '':'s'} a tentacle."

Then the hidden grapple stage statuses needed reworked to directly tie back to their points of origin and their target selection reworked to stay locked onto partially grappled targets. As I was working through it, I made numerous tweaks to reveal more of the hidden status effects to the player and improve the combat flow of the encounter. In short: cockvines had basically every part of their fight reworked to run cleaner, more logically, and format better over two days. And then I wrote shorter versions of their attack texts to keep a fight with that many bodies in it legible.

I lost another two days of potential coding to having my house’s air-conditioner replaced – the unit is in the closet just outside my office, so I wasn’t really able to smut around at my smut-minting station as I normally would. Instead I wound catching a hit of inspiration and blocked out about three pages of outline for a possible fourth Azra expedition set on the twilight cyberpunk world of Dhaal from my laptop. I can’t promise that it will come with any direct rapidity, but it’s a big leap forward from being so idea-blocked that Skom had to come in to design and write the quest (as he did for Myrellion’s expedition). I can say that I’m really happy with what I have planned for it already, as heist missions are always a treat in any game!

There was also a little side adventure into improving our blackjack user experience with Jacques00’s help (he did all the real work!), but I’ll let the improved experience speak for itself. For now I’m gunning to have Azra quest drop in the coming week.

0.9.159 Changelog:

• Known Bug: The player character portrait doesn’t seem to be updating correctly in all cases, Jacques00 is aware. I’ll hotfix when I have a solution handy.
• [Backer Exclusive] New Dhaal Encounter: Ginny, the short, stacked XO! She’s more common in the southern Stacks, but she’ll pop up in the Gyre at times as well. Written by Magenta Needle, she was implemented by Leek with a small touch-up pass to some of her combat effects by Fenoxo.
  • New Bust: Ginny, by Adjatha.
• [Backer Exclusive] Grimald Dates! Roughly seventy pages of new content for spending time with Grimald in all sorts of ways~ Written by Magenta Needle and coded by Leek.
• [Now Public] Catching Rummi
• Player Bust Updates: It should now have a variety of non-human head shapes added as well as support for some non-human body types. Ear types to come in the future!
• Reworked Blackjack Interface – give it a try! It should feel a lot more like a “real” blackjack game now. (Relentless demands by Fenoxo, actual code & work by Jacques00.)
• Reworked Cockvine battle – now features proper improved combat flow, improved status effect visibility and information, reactive anti-drone attack (and support for new “drone” types in said attack), and less random new line returns adding spaces where none were needed. (Fenoxo)
• Fixed Azra’s axe-kick not displaying damage dealt. (Fenoxo)
• Fixed a Shock Hopper attack potentially affected by the same bug as Azra above. (Jacques00)
• Removed outdated and broken ‘classMST’ parser and replaced it with a new clMulti parser. (Example: [char.clMulti smuggler mercenary engineer kineticist|I’m a smuggler|I’m a mercenary|I’m a tech specialist|I’m a kineticist|I’m none of the above]) (Jacques00)
• Assorted Frosty consistency fixes. (Jacques00)
• Fixes some issues with browser-based translation & the react framework. (Jacques00)
• Hardlight suits and power armor are no longer prevented from use by the “Priapism” effect. (Jacques00)
• The number of force darts is now properly displayed. (Jacques00)
• Amber encounters now pause navigation to prevent missing her while walking quickly. (Jacques00)
• Fixes for VR versions of the E.G.G. quest encounters. (Jacques00)
• Fixes for the Siren’s Bounty face transformation effect. (Jacques00)
• Tail transformation effects have been unified with a shiftTail() utility function, and used through most TF items. (Jacques00)
• Minor pregnancy and typos fixes. (Jacques00)
• Many small user interface improvements. (Jacques00)

Development Preview! Jacques00 has been cooking some enhancements for the character paperdoll mannequin.
A large variety of face shapes have been created (including some that don’t even match in-game options). Once we have appropriate ears added, I’ll see about getting this built out more and release it for you all to play with!

We got a new patch today with some fixes and some pregnancy, a great start to Mayternity, even if I’m not an ardent subscriber to this month’s festivities. I’m very much more a “May is for outdoor fuckin’” kind of fella!

Today has been a fun one, since it started with a very simple and quick crash fix and then ballooned into a complicated series of corrections across multiple game systems as I attempted to verify my original fix.

0.9.198 Changelog:

• [Backer Exclusive] Added preg content for the new venus pitcher. She can be impregnated and she can impregnate Steele. She must have moved into her house before either is possible. (Coded by DrunkZombie! Since we got this one in so fast, it will be unlocked for the public at the exact same time as the rest of Venus’s content.)
• Critical Notice Adjustment: In an effort to de-dupe duplicated critical hit notices, we wound up losing critical hit notices for some attacks like the cybernetic combat tail. I’ve flipped the “alwaysShowCrit” variable to be on by default which corrects this – it could potentially cause display issues with elsewhere in the game that will need to be corrected. My bet is that it won’t – but I may iterate on this a bit more still. (Fenoxo)
• Strict 9 Fixes: a number of fixes were applied to Strict-9’s encounter. (Fenoxo)
  • An attack meant to punish tripped foes was only used very rarely, even on tripped enemies. This has been corrected.
  • A crash caused by the aforementioned attack lingered for far too long, probably because the attack would only very rarely occur, and only for the most inattentive (or uncaring) of players. It has been fixed. (Thanks to lowercase donkey for bringing it to my attention.)
  • The damage of the aforementioned attack was reduced somewhat, though it is still very powerful.
  • Strict-9’s buff that triggers from lust no longer occurs at 0 lust. It also no longer occurs repeatedly, as it would have no effect.
  • Added stagger & stun bolded text notices to an attack that can stagger or stun.
  • Fixed her trip attack placing a tooltip of the trip status of “2”.
  • Strict-9’s shields were raised by 180 as Paulette and my tail were easily dropping her while my test PC waited every single turn.
• Combat tail targetting fix: the drone targeting menu should now be usable without a separate pet or drone to enable the menu. (Fenoxo)
• Paulette attack formatting: I cleaned up some extra spaces in her attacks to make them format more like rest of the game. (Fenoxo)
• Paulette’s E.G.G. Quest Access Fix: A conditional on the planet check was inverted, so it should be properly accessible as intended now. (Jacques00)
• Minor crash fix: Fixed a crash related to personalizing the display mannequin. (Jacques00)
• Fixes for Zero Plus’s fluid quantities. (Jacques00)
• Tweaks for Kiro’s dress. (Jacques00)

…and finally, a quick update on my health. Ears and sinuses are doing pretty good after finishing my antibiotic course – but something’s still fucked with the front-left side of my throat near my larynx. There’s swelling that makes every swallow feel awkward and a little tight (a lil mild pain too w/e), but after a celebratory alcohol drink on Tuesday night it decided to start rioting into the night through Wednesday morning – more swelling and discomfort aplenty. Aleve did me a solid and wrangled it back down to a far more tolerable level today. Unfortunately it will be until the 19th before I can get to my appointment at the local ENT. If things stay as they are (and I avoid the devil’s delicious, delicious beverages!) I should be able to keep cranking on TiTS work just fine. After all, this is a mere fraction of what I was dealing with my sinuses and ear were part of the illness-fucking tag-team.

New patch day! Check out the changelog for the new hotness – the next couple paragraphs are an update on Azra development and my health.

Art for the lovely Venus provided by Adjatha!

First off: Azra’s third expedition. Authored by Skom, it’s around 150 pages of content, and I took another pass through to check up on my last set of corrections and requests. The first go had been fairly brutal – I’m picky about Azra since I wrote most of her content myself (recruitment to most of the two followup expeditions) so I’d like to avoid any significant variance in her personality or the way the her expeditions flow. I’m happy to say most of the issues I had with her characterization have been resolved. One of the NPC encounters (a male Nyrea) still requires reworking to match their biology as defined by their codex. Skom had some neat ideas that he thought were kind of hot (and to be honest, I do kind of think would be interesting on different species) that didn’t quite mesh with the established lore. I also rewrote some of the early epilogue content for characterization, even though I slipped into doing something I had asked Skom not to do in my previous rewrite request! (Sorry! I’m a pain, I know…) I’d like to start working on the coding for finished portions  of Azra’s third expedition this week, and hopefully have it in your hands in 1-2 weeks from the time of this post – HEALTH PERMITTING.

Which brings me to my next topic: my health. I’ve caught some flack with previous posts about my recent health issues being manufactured, but that is sadly not so. After sliding back toward the gutter bit last weekend, I went to urgent care on monday. The diagnosis? Post-Covid bacterial sinus infection and impacted earwax in my left ear. Given the difficulty they had extracting the blockage Wednesday and the fact that my left side ear has felt a bit off for a while, I suspect that was impairing me for a rather long time. I’m now in the last half of my antibiotic course with a clear ear, but I worry that there’s one more issue to chase down. During the end of Covid, I started getting shooting pains into my neck while blowing my nose (especially the left side), as I often had to blow quite hard on that side. Well, the pain in my neck persists on and off even as my sinuses and ear are returning to normalcy. My worry is that the overpressure may have torn or herniated something around my larynx. I’m hoping that with my sinuses cleared (and avoiding pressurizing myself) I can take it easy on those tissues and recover naturally, but if I’m still having issues when I run out of antibiotics later in the week, I’ll be trying to source an ENT (ear, nose, and throat doctor) to help me get it sorted ASAP.

I don’t think it’ll slow me down too much unless it winds up being something that needs surgery. I’ll keep you posted.

0.9.157 Hotfixes:

• Venus’s first encounter is now in the middle jungle (around the plantation and near the probe) or in the deep jungle (the darker green area) where venus pitchers and their elders can be found.
• Venus’s repeat encounters should now be found anywhere except the the vanae-occupied region.
• Fixed a potential crash with Venus encounters.
• Fixed a Paulette quest crash.

0.9.157 Changelog:

• [Now Public] Paulette’s second quest is now available! Are you a bad enough dude to save the zaika? Or will the nefarious Dr. Ovvi’s inventions spell your doom? (D-O-O-M spells doom!)
• [Backer Exclusive] New NPC: Venus, a venus pitcher that becomes ambulatory after an accidental encounter with Captain Steele. She can be repeatedly interacted with and eventually moved into Esbeth as a proper resident! Right now she can be encountered in the first, easy jungle zone, but I’m going to be repositioning her encounter to the middle and deeper jungle zones where other venus pitchers can be encountered in the next patch or hotfix. (Written by Somechuvak and coded by Leek.)
• [Backer Exclusive] New Extrameet Encounter on Tavros: Deenya, a muscular kaithrit looking for a big strong submissive who likes to struggle a little before giving in. (Written by Melonear and coded by Fenoxo)
• New Item: Kiro’s Dress, obtainable during her quest. (Jacques00)
• Some fixes for Kiro’s quest’s cheats. (Jacques00)
• New Busts: Venus (clothed & nude).
• Numerous fixes for Jana and nursery content. (Jacques00)
• Improved virginity-taking messages in Fisianna’s content. (Jacques00)
• Minutes consumed by movement should now consider the movement cost of the room being left as well as the room being journeyed to. (Jacques00)
• Updated some encounterText() to use encounterTextGenerator() and make them compatible with the Combat Description toggle option, hopefully reducing the number of commonly repeated long texts in some fights. (Jacques00)
• If the “Display Reputation Changes” toggle is on, changes to personality should be visibly displayed. (Jacques00)
• Added an option toggle to disable current lust level from impacting appearance descriptions of vaginal wetness. (Jacques00)
• Under the hood work to prepare for the player mannequin to display ears and tauric body shapes. (Jacques00)
• Huge amounts of typo fixes, particularly in Paulette’s second quest. (Thanks Jacques00 and our fearless forum bug reporters!)

(Breast Boobily by Adjatha)

Work continues~ Today I’ve got a new ship encounter (albeit one gated behind a very specific content path) and an expansion for Velika. With those out of the way and my health and focus continuing to improve post-Covid, I’ll be working on getting the submitted Azra expedition up to snuff for the immediate future. Given further text revisions may be needed, it may not be available for coding rapidly, but I’ll keep you posted. There’s a number of smaller one-off scenes I’d like to tackle as well, when the write-juices are flowing this coming week.

0.9.156 Changelog:

• [Backer Exclusive] Velika Additions: Dom Her (if you play your cards right…), new PC-Blindfolded Scene, new dialogues, and smaller tweaks across a broad swatch of her existing content. (Written by Somechuvak and coded by Leek.)
• [Backer Exclusive] New Ship Battle: The Space Leviathan! This encounter is unlocked by taking a specific path during Paulette’s quest. It is intended to be a far more difficult fight than just about any other space fight in the game, so prepare accordingly! Turning it in to the UGC will earn SIGNIFICANT credit rewards… (Written by Magenta Needle, coded by Fenoxo)
• New Bust: Breast Boobily, by Adjatha.
• VR access to Paulette quest content should be properly accessible this time for real-real. (A roadblock had been accidentally left in, originally meant to allow Leek more time to review.) (Jacques00 & Leek)
• Accuracy modifiers on ship weapons no longer apply to global accuracy with all ship weapons. (Fenoxo)
• Ship battle AI should now better utilize onboard weapons – incorrect power cost values were being checked for ship weapons, resulting in many NPCs attempting to fire unpowered weapons they otherwise shouldn’t. (Fenoxo)
• Ships without an image should display a placeholder ship icon instead of a placeholder person icon. (Jacques00)
• Fixes for several VR scene repeats that included transformations to have more correct text output. (Jacques00)

Cheetah Pirate Fun By ToonNik

Yeah, a few weeks back it hit me again, for the second time in a year. Floored my ass for a couple weeks, then left me feeling foggy enough that anything I tried to write needed heavy editing to get anywhere near approaching acceptable. That goddamn bug holds on harder than it has any right to – I’m still coughing and clearing my throat every few minutes, weeks later, but at least my head feels cleared up enough to write and finish up the WIP Rummi scene I’ve had cooking for over a month at this point.

This behemoth of a scene (~6600 words) involves the PC strapping into Rummi’s harness and taking an absolutely enormous insertion, requiring copious amounts of Peggy’s Elasticizing Oil or a vagina that’s been blessed with just about every capacity boosting treatment in the game. On the off chance you manage to be eligible for the “no lube” fork, you should be granted the bonus of having a little extra capacity added to that particular hole with each repeat up to a frankly absurd cap. Let’s face it, Rummi is probably the largest size your character is going to see anywhere outside of a bad-end or dream sequence!

Leek’s got another coding project in the works that should be dropping soon, alongside some choice new Adjatha art. This lull… is over.

0.9.155 Changelog:

• [Backer Exclusive] Get Mounted By Rummi – as mentioned above, this requires a vagina to access, and thanks to the magic of super-science space-lube, just about anybody can enjoy it, though even with lube you might be left a little stretched here or there. (Written + Coded by Fenoxo)
• [Backer Exclusive] Breast Boobily Episode 3 – now streaming on your favorite bar TV of choice! (Written by Madam Materia and coded by Fenoxo Fenfen)
• [Now Public] Gayll Psychic Cunnilingus
• New Busts: Dr. Ovvi and Zero Plus (by Adjatha)
• New CG: Cheetah Pirate sex (by ToonNik)
• E.G.G.-related VR links should be accessible properly. (Jacques00)
• Tutorials may now be turned off in the options menu. (Thanks, Jacques00!)
• Corrected Zaibatsu display in some places. (Jacques00)
• Improved virginity checks in several places. (Jacques00)
• Numerous fixes for the Doll Maker. (Jacques00)
• Fixes for Nym-Foe. (Jacques00)
• Improved several Codex stat displays. (Jacques00)
• Under the hood work to support additional player head shapes in the mannequin. (Hopefully we can show something soon!) (Jacques00)
• Fixed several goo armor checks that allowed you to fap with the gooArmor even while it was stowed back on the ship. (lowercase donkey)
• Fixed a combat crash in Strict-9. (Jacques00)
• Fixes to prevent notification spam with the “Ice Cold” perk at certain libido values.
• Fixed a combat crash on PA-X (Jacques00)
• Fixed a crash related to Ardia’s suit. (Jacques00)
• And other fixes not yet enumerated here but surely done by Jacques00!

Today I bring the gift of chunky new content! Paulette’s new quest occupied over 260 pages of documentation in its raw form, and I’m happy to say that it’s one of the best quests I’ve had the pleasure of doing a bugtesting playthrough on. It packs plenty of unique, TiTS-appropriate enemies, items, and corrupted science themes that tickled my brain in all the right ways. I hope it does the same for you all too.

I want to give a huge shout-out & thank you to Magenta Needle for authoring this opus and Leek for handling the bulk of the coding work on it, and even coding in some niceties behind me as I was working through and polishing rougher spots over the last few days. My primary focus during QA was making sure things completed, didn’t crash, and the texts made sense – so if an encounter is laughably weak or overtuned, be sure to let us know about it!

0.9.154 Hotfix #2:

• New Art: Zero Plus busts (Adjatha), CG for the Cheetah Pirate’s “Throbb Fuck” scene (ToonNik).
• Synphia and the Dockmaster’s updated inventories should fully work with Vahn once licensed.
• The encounter log should track licensing for them as well.
• Fixed a PA-X crash.
• Fixes for the Det. Charge ability to better output its effects.
• Improved Paulette’s “Ally” combat description text.
• Fixed a crash for Ardia related to her armor.
• Small typo fixes and tweaks.

0.9.154 Hotfix #1:

• Fixed a crashy typo that snuck into Strict9.

0.9.154 Changelog:

• [Backer Exclusive] New Quest: Paulette Quest 2 – it should kick off pretty seamlessly after dealing with the Lithium Flower. An old test-save of mine that was sat just before that fight had no problems jumping right into the quest afterward. (Written by Magenta Needle, coded by Leek)
  • 7 New Combat Encounters: I won’t rob you of the joy of encountering them as you traverse through the quest but they cover a wide range of feminine and dickgirl archetypes.
  • 6 New Character Busts by Adjatha, not counting nude alternates. One more is still cooking in the oven, to be slipped in soon…
  • New Items: Biological Stimulant Package (Accessory), Neutronic Girdle (Armor), Coldstar Rings (Ranged Weapon), Goo Shotgun, Chem Pertuisane (Melee Weapon), and EGGMindwash Package (for repeating content in VR).
• [Now Public] Some more of Gayll and Rummi’s sex content.
• [Now Public] The Milking Room
• [Now Public] New Ship Upgrades
• New portrait animation on taking damage. (Jacques00)
• New Item: Spiritstone, lootable from the milodan fertility ritual and usable as a dildo! It should be obtainable even on saves that previously looted the old idol. (Jacques00)
• New item drops for Narc’s quest: Jezzy’s Toque (Accessory) and Jezzy’s Blaster (Ranged Weapon). (Fenoxo)
• 11 Phaedran room descriptions got filled in. (Fenoxo)
• New jagged ground effect that causes damage when attempting to flee in certain tiles. (Fenoxo)
• Combat fixes: no more double critical message, no more lunge breaking a single attack box into two, and cleave now respects flying and untargetable enemies.
• Improved autoscroll location accuracy for more browsers. (Jacques00)

Gayll & Rummi drawn by Adjatha.

Time for another TiTS patch! I stalled a bit on this Gayll scene before finally muscling through and producing something 2-3x as large as I originally intended… The next one should be smaller, quicker, and hopefully in your hands by tomorrow evening or Saturday!

0.9.152 Changelog:

• [Backer Exclusive] New Gayll scene: Hyper Mounting. In this scene you’ll get to see the rig Gayll and Rummi use to help them line up their mismatched sizes and put it to work yourself. This scene requires a huge dick (32″+) and features full biped & taur compatibility. It wound up creeping well past my intended scope of 1-2000 words and ballooning to a 4,900 word monstrosity with a big extra bit where you can squirt a whole bottle of elasticizing oil up into her.
