Hey guys, it’s been a little bit. I wanted to give you a quick update before I step out for the weekend to give you some heads up as to where I’ve been and where we’re going.
TiTS:
- Jacques00 has been working on getting player character view functional in the game. This little outline hologram will never perfectly display everything, but it should roughly conform to your body attributes to give a quick sense of your character’s shape. It’s been one of the things I’m most excited about.
- Leek has been banging on the options menu to get that whipped into shape. It’s definitely going to look a lot nicer than our current options menu!
- Gedan’s been finalizing data storage & ship content in hopes of minimizing the updates we have to do to early adapter’s saves over time.
- I had to finish up some stuff for my 2020 taxes this week, which ate about a day and half more of my time than I expected.
Me (Fenoxo), TMI edition:
- I think I need to massively scale back my engagement with smut and porn in general. My libido has been flagging, and IRL lust resets feel so much like work that I haven’t bothered in far too long. With my passion in the gutter, I can hardly pour it into creating things for these games.
- I’m likely going to step back from my lead development/writing role in TiTS and let someone else take the reigns very soon, then take on a more “producer” style role in addition to continuing to help with coding – probably with a focus on chasing down the bugs.
- Coming to this decision wasn’t easy. I’ve kept a firm authorial control on my projects up until this point, but there comes a time when you have to realize that YOU are your own worst roadblock, and it’s time to let hornier hands take the wheel.
- It’s my sincere hope that giving my brain more than a week away from the erotic and arousing will allow me to jump back into the sea of genitalia with fresh hunger, but if it doesn’t, I’m going to find the best people to keep the horny ball rolling forward.
- I don’t have any regrets about doing this job. Making these games allowed me to learn so much about myself, make so many new friends, and bring joy to so many people. I’m so very far from done.
Thank you.

I think… you deserve this.
You brought us ten or so years of amazing smut, and some amazing games. You inspired many others to begin learning to code. You have created a company, one that should REALLY be made larger.
It’s good that you step out before burning out totally. I know you’ll still step in from time to time, when the mood strikes you! And unlike many who leave projects on hold, you have an active, vibrant, and GROWING team to carry the torch forward!
I look forward to another decade of amazing smut coming forth from FenCo, and I look forward to whatever projects you decide to start up next!
Thank you, Fenoxo!
This, you’ve created an amazing team full if amazing, horny, talented people who continue to make great work. Let their deviance thrive and take the reigns while you either refind your own or decide you need to step back from this all entirely.
Your needs are the absolute greatest priority and I’ll be forever thankful for your work in the genre. From your style of modular transformation to simply showing that you can have engaging gameplay in a lewd game, your mark on the NSFW game scene will forever be there.
Thank you Fenoxo <3
Agreed. If fen wishes to take a step away, let them. They deserve it.
Yeah, really. Fen, I’ve been around since CoC, before Marble was a thing and all that sort. No matter what happens, I want to thank you for everything. Simple words, all to easy to say, but really … Thank you Fen, and of course the team as well.
Fen, I just wanna say; thank you. You’ve given all of us one crazy fucking ride all these years. And though I hope you’ll be leading the charge till the end, and I wish you the best of luck k in getting your mojo again, even if you don’t and decide take a few seats back, it will still have been and will continue to be an honor to be along for it all.
Here’s to you my friend!
Godspeed, Fen. It takes a responsible leader to know when to step back. Looking forward to what new blood may bring to the experience. And a nice break seems like just the thing to usher in a Fenaissance. But until then, enjoy the smut break!
Sad to see you go, hope the space helps you to renew your creativity. Only been a fan for a few years but love what I see, I hope your team brings your own vision forward with their own imaginations along with it.
It was a long journey of fun , from the beginning of Coc 1 with Urta to this two whole new games .
You shown us a whole bunch of sexy stories and stuff , character , enticing encounter and plenty surprises over all these years .
Was a pleasure to play around your games .
See you anytimes Fen
I’m sorry to tell you this mate but porn addiction – like any other addiction – isn’t just magically going to disappear by just not indulging in it for some time. This will accompany you for the rest of your life.
I don’t think you understand what Fen’s saying. If there was a porn addiction, then it’s gotten to the point it’s actually drying up on it’s own. Fen seems to be having less interest in porn/smut, which sounds like the opposite of an addiction to me.
lmao either this is bait or “my libido has been flagging” confused you. (It doesn’t mean Fenoxo’s libido has been staying topped up)
If you think this is what you need then by all means, do what you need to do. I’m sure that if it comes that you need to hand off the reins to someone else, you have plenty of passionate and willing people around to continue the wonderful work you started. Thanks to you I’ve also found out a lot about myself, my passions, and found some really good friends among the community. Hope you can find your passion again, and if not, then wish you the best in the things to come.
Fen! I love your stuff but I mostly love your passion! please take your time. you and your team have got me to look at myself as a whole and have helped my mind in clearing things up. I wish you the best and will always keep looking for updates. you are an amazing person and I feel that it’s an honor to play your games.
from yours truly,
a Foxy Kitsune
To be honest, I can see why you feel that way. You’ve literally made it your work to do smut for the last ten years. Writing it, reviewing it, going over the porn with a thin toothed comb to ensure it’s up to snuff. That’s a lot of erotica and a lot of time spent with it, it’s no wonder you’d start growing desensitized and burnt out to it all. A break from all the porn definitely seems like it would do you well.
Enjoy taking a more relaxed approach, and here’s hoping you can get your personal libido stat back to a more acceptable range. In my many years supporting you, from an titleless little text adventure to Offbeatre to today, you’ve provided so many hours of enjoyment.
Also, looking forward to the updated version of TiTS, lots of interesting and fun features have been teased.
Wow, it almost feels like the end of an era. Even if you won’t be front an center anymore, I’ll still look forward to whatever project you put out next.
Never a good feeling to burn out on something you enjoy. I wish you a quick recuperation, a pleasant vacation, and hope you get back out to pleasurably churning out pleasure! Thanks for all the years of CoC & TiTS! (And looking forward to more Character Select stuff!)
Well, I don’t think I can say something more important than what has already been said before me … But I can only say: thank you. With Fenoxo leaving as a writer, an entire era will pass. But on one thing you and many others are right, when Road Time comes it is better to go. Because the longer you put it off, the worse it gets. This is not the end, this is a new beginning. Regardless of whether you leave now or later, thanks for the wonderful job and for the wonderful worlds to which you will return. Perhaps your brainchildren will live after all of us, who knows …
I want to say that your games really left a mark on me and I think these are the best text-based RPG’s that someone could get into and even play for free online. I always loved how well thought and interesting is the transformation system present both in Corruption of Champions and Tits, you allowed us to make lots of different builds and choices along roads that were long, but eventually led us to the Demon Queen’s castle, to the warm embrace of passionate furries and to the pride of carving our own legends in different worlds.
It didn’t matter how good or evil, innocent or kinky we wanted to be, you gave us all that – and in a full-fledged RPG, no less. Even if you step back from this particular niche of games, I hope you remain in the game industry and give us the same level of freedom and customisation in your future projects, I would be excited to hear about anything like that because, in my opinion, you came up with interesting plots, events and great game systems in all of your games. The sex was just a plus.
Hey man, thanks for all the opportunities. I wouldn’t be half of what I am today if I didn’t have your support. Good luck going forward.
Fen, thank you so much for your hard work. People often think that facing every challenge head-on is the most macho decision, but real bravery sometimes means recognizing your limits and stepping back.
Thank you so much for your hard work. I’ll still be cheering for you and this project 🙂 You made a well-thought and astute decision that shows devotion to your work, rather than your pride. You truly are a worthy dev >_<
heh I empathize, too much porn can mess you up. Good luck!
I’m not really great with words but I’ve been a long time lurker and I have to say that your work has left a huge impact on me. You’ve given great stories and even greater games I respect whatever decision you have going forward.
Godspeed, Fen.
I certainly didn’t expect that unnamed text game I downloaded that one time to go so far.
x3
We need an upload of the very first version released, for commemeration. In 20 years, it’ll be remembered as the spark for a rennesaince of adult entertainment online.
I’ ve had a hunch this could happen ever since you posted (in June I think?) that you had some problems with writing and things. And to be honest, I was more afraid that you would NOT take a break. Think about yourself and do what you need to do.
I have never posted here even though I have been a fan for a while. I discovered CoC1 a few months before TiTS first came out. I stuck with it for a while, then took a few years break and came back at the start of the pandemic.
And frankly, I was kind of amazed those games were still going strong, with you at the helm to boot! I mean, I take loooong breaks from porn because I get tired of it. I can’t imagine writing, editing and just doing lots of creative things in porn for such a long time. Kudos to you, your team and knowing when to take a break.
I mean, everybody needs a break sometime. I haven’t been working for a year because of the pandemic and am about to get back to work, totally refreshed. I was about to burn out when the pandemic happened. It was a blessing in disguise for me. So I know how it feels and how beneficial a long break can be.
Thank you (and your team) for all your hard work. Just don’t burn out on our account!
Thank you for all the amazing work over the years enjoy your break
Reins*
Get well soon Fen, we wish you the best
Do what you feel best Fen!
First time leaving a comment here but I think this post deserves one. Desensitization and Burn out are real problems and for you to dedicate years of effort in any creative field is impressive. You definitely deserve any amount of time off you want! After all before work you must take care of yourself so, enjoy your break!
thank you for all your hard work. I can’t express how much I have loved this website truly one of the best
The question is, who would take over? Savin?
I think Savin has enough on his plate as is
If not Savin then geden then
Your health comes first. We’re all grateful for the work you have done over the years. If passing the torch for a while can help you overall, then I’m glad you are doing it.
Go on then dude, recharge your horny battery!
Im happy for you and your decision, i hope all the best mate. 🙂
Super cool, and you definitely deserve some time off. I, for one, have had my own libido drop off gradually and would seriously love some extensions on action and adventure, as for myself, there’s already enough glorious smut in here to leave me drained for months, but who doesn’t wanna be a space cowboy or some sort?
Love you, get you some self-care, and thank you for all your work!
Thanks for everything Fen, I hope this choice goes great for you!
god, javascript tits is looking to be beyond anything i’d have ever expected.
walking around ships, rudimentary character viewer. Its what I always wished for, but dared not ask for.
While I’m sad this part of the story is coming to an end, I’m happy it happened.
Thank you for your work over all these years, you’ve given me so many enjoyable moments.
Take care of you, we’ll be there if (when?) you feel better.
So wait. Is Fen just stepping down from the smut part of the game? Or the whole thing? Will the overarching story still be the same? Or will some random person be brought in and change things up?
So, Fen is gonna take a more producer like role? That’s a bit sad IMO, but makes sense. I do hope Azra gets a scene where she tops you, been wanting that for a while now.
I haven’t been here from the beginning like others here but I can agree with them that you are amazing and all the horny beautiful art you have made is just a masterpiece sad to see you go but I am happy for you. Truly thank you Fenoxo you will forever be remembered and missed
Will the character viewer be part of the basic UI, maybe doubling as the Character Appearance button, or will it be hidden somewhere in some submenu?
