Another weird week; I caught somebody asking questions about the backer-credits thing and had a sudden realization that I hadn’t gotten around to setting the system back up for the JS port. I jumped on that immediately and combined it with the thinking that we should also be doing a much better job of crediting all the people that have contributed to the game over the years. The list is in no way complete as yet, I’ve been putting the word out and letting people get back to me with the details if they want putting in the credits for any writing, art or coding that they’ve done for us.
If you’re a contributor that hasn’t got the message already, send us a word with how you want crediting in the credits page and we’ll get on it!
After that we didn’t have anything pending in the code-merge queue for new content ready to go out, so I jumped on the first thing at the top of the Ready2Code list and pulled this Love Starz expansion out. Took a little longer to get through than I had hoped, but I stumbled into a few things to tweak along the way and cleaned up a few other bits and pieces as I was getting it together.
Everybody seems to have stuck their face into big, weighty projects all at the same time so there should be some fat new content drops coming along soon!
TiTS 0.9.014:
- Backer: A weighty expansion to the Love Starz is now available. Once you’ve worked your way through the existing events, the group will split up and head off for their own little vay-cays that the player can stumble across. (Fr0sty & Gedan).
- Backer: A buttstuff scene for Anyxine as a bonus! (Savin & Leek)
- Public: Jasvalla is now available to the public; a Dzaan Alpha stalker seeking to make the player her beta. The player can submit outright, make her earn the right to collar them, or have her dealt with by the proper authorities. If the player chooses to submit to her, they will be invited to her home to undergo repeatable training events and eventually a Bad End. You can kick things off by bumping into her in the Tavros elevator, after visiting Mhen’ga at least once. (Nonesuch & Leek)
- A credits screen has been built to handle all of our staff, contributors and backers. (Gedan)
- RotateMinigame beams can now properly reach the far edge of the right and top sides of the board when passed into a 4-way-open node. (Gedan)
- More Dhaal busts should be working and wired up appropriately. (lowercase_donkey)
- Inseminator Pro should ensure an absolute minimum cum value that won’t potentially break things. (DrunkZombie)
- Cleaned up some more combat things, including a reworking of Charge Shield that should better format its output. (Fenoxo)
- [Fen wrote ‘dis part] – Previously charge shield would simply wedge a damage pop-up into the text of enemy’s attack, often with the descriptive output suppressed. There were some real confusing moments this would cause where it would look like you were getting hit harder than you were. I made it proc once per turn max and made it show up in the end of round procs with full descriptive text. I also change the combat initializing code to assign every combatant a unique number so that the charge shield statuses can better “remember” who set them off.
- [More Fen] Urbolg’s combat will now end if you defeat him, even if his drone is still up.
- [More Fen] Cleaned up a number of issues with the Queensguard/Taivra fights.
- [More Fen] Adjustments to HP made via “changeHP” should properly output the HP change in combat.
- Gabilani Chemists should no longer progressively increase the amount of loot they’re carting around. (DrunkZombie)
- Roxy should no longer break the buttons during her first encounter. (DrunkZombie)

I haven’t been a backer for the Java edition but I used to back a few years ago, saw Baz G in the credits wasn’t sure if that was me or someone else so just thought to put this out there lol
The credits are based off of historical data 🙂
Dumb question but does Jasvalla have Gastigoth content?
God I wish
One day.
Excellent I will enjoy making her a bottom
Come to Gastigoth, top a stalker Dzaan. Totally do not such her cock out of curiosity of what you missed by having her arrested.
Ah yes, topping the Gastigoth settled Dzaan. Steele will totally not be curious what she missed out on and try a taste.
So incurious about what that might be like you posted it twice!
*Laughs* Indeed, never posted here before. Seems new posters have a delay before the comments show up. Hopped on the next day and couldn’t find my own comment, so tried again. Then later they both appear. 😀
Either way, more Dzaan imagery for everyone. Thanks for the hard work from both you and Leek.
Plz add more scenes where the PC gets cucked by big dicked futas. So hot…
NTR is verboten and illegal. 😛
I wouldn’t go that far but NTR, humiliation, and so forth are rarer since they don’t have as wide appeal.
Mine keeps crashing and won’t load the image pack
Who is the other officer you can report Jasvalla to? I thought Riya but seems not unless im bugged.
Penny, its who I had went to first time.
No, I said the other one. Penny is the default.
Riya is the other one, regardless of where she is. If you can’t use her to report Jas that’s a bug.
ERROR: COULD NOT FIND ATTRIBUTE “nAME” FOR OBJ “pc” Please tell me that was on purpose. That is too funny not too.
Gedan looking cute in that art.
Again, are we able to give Mitch any mods now or not?
Where to find jas
Zheng Shi is where I found Jas. Dunno about other places, but fitting since she is level 10 and plays like the slavebreakers, who spam powerful slut rays. If you’re planning on defeating her, or at least entering combat with her, make sure you can stunlock/blind Jas. She does nearly half of your max starting lust from 0 with one attack.
Been here since CoC was the only game and I’ve never left a comment before. But, now having seen Jasvalla with the public update, I really see the reasoning behind a lot of the backer comments about her and agree with them. The biggest issue is no amount of defeating her results in her accepting you’re not the beta here, and when you combine that with the entire stalker nature of her existence, it feels just a bit wrong. While some people may enjoy her as is, I do think she would benefit quite a bit from going the same route as Minuet, where defeating them enough would make them recognize your potential and power. Having a route where they acknowledge your superiority in combat (Which, let’s be real, I’ve had really no issue in overcoming them through lust damage and they don’t seem that terrible even through normal combat), could go far with giving enough player input to make them more palatable to more players. But, all that said, I’m no developer, and appreciate all the work everyone does. Thanks for the great games and keep up the great work!
She’s still pretty fresh, she coulda have a lot of planned content involving just that later on, heck everyone’s favourite dominant merc Verusha had nothing but topping degrading content for a long while, and she has just been expanded upon allowing you to top her without her personality doing a complete 180.
What I’m saying it give it some time, it’s a constantly evolving game with so many layers of content that has to be written and considered all factors and then balanced out combat wise, that testing the water with a base version of a character is a better way to go than trying to dump everything at once then put out the the fires that’ll crop up afterwards.
That’s an entirely fair point!
Just have her arrested friend, the devs made it very easy for you if you don’t like her content.
Completely missed that was a thing, thank you!
Bro TiTS is a SavinCo project now and he doesn’t make “power fantasies”. Just accept that your Steele is canonically a beta bitch…
The fact that I can easily defeat just about any baddie within the TITS universe says otherwise. Try playing Tech Specialist/Mercenary sometime soon, massive shields and high DPS is a boon with Badger’s B.D.S system, or the Salamander Defense System. When you can potentially deal enough damage to instantly destroy an aircraft, or force an entire squadron of soldiers into an orgy, I don’t think we’re by any means a beta bitch.
Now Smuggler, however, that one I’ve had issues with.
As a Smuggler a lot of your focus is about burst damage and knowing when to defend and when to unload (pardon the pun). As someone who primarily only plays Smuggler, a lot of their focus is quick immediate burst, like say with Shoot First, Second Shot, and Alpha Strike combining to give 3 shots immediately off the start of combat, at least one of which is a critical strike. Can Opener only further exacerbates that power. From there you have Flash Grenade and Stealth Field Generator to allow you to evade just about any enemy attack, Smuggled Stimulant or Burst of Energy to get any spent energy back, and Grenade to just AoE burst anyone who you don’t feel like dealing with. Seriously, Grenade is incredibly strong and an amazing “Fuck off” button.
As for the original topic, I have a really hard time thinking someone is supposed to be the canonical top when they lose from only three tease actions regardless of your class.
How do you encounter Jas again after your first meeting in the Tavros elevator? I can’t seem to find her anywhere.
Zheng Shi
She’s a random encounter in the wild, I run into her on mhenga constantly
Depends on your level. Early level (i think up to lvl 2-3?) She’s on Mhenga. Then mid range like 5-7ish she’s on the ant planet. And 8-9ish she starts appearing on Zeng Shi. If your not finding her you may be too high ranking to see her on that planet and she’s moved on to the next one.
I completely forgot about the pop band in this game. The last time I went through theyre content, they didn’t even have busts so it just slipped my mind.
More Anyxine is ALWAYS good.
Is there a special trigger for the new scene? Spent a lot of time spamming the usual sex option and haven’t seen it yet
It’d be nice if she had a sex menu, unfortunately it is just added to the random list. I got it on the third visit.
After Tavros, where can I find Jasvallah?
Depends on your level as you further up. If your at level 1 to 2 she will spawn on Mhenga as a random enemy encounter. If your at level 10 she can be found in Zheng Shi.
…and the Myrellion DMZ if you’re in-between.
So where can you find the Love Starz when theyre on vacation?
Pink at apartment, Blue on Tarkus and Ari I’m still trying to find.
Uveto is where Ari is.
Absolutely loved Pinks new scenes. Kudos to her writer. Also left bug report about two errors I found on the forum thingy.
I’m not someone who backs through Patreon, but did purchase backer access prior to that. Would I still be eligible for credits?
Been a supporter for quite some time! I had to stop for a while due to financial situations with my life and family, but I’m back supporting the work you all do! It’s good to play this game again and see how far it has come.
Are the backer credits meant for just the original startup supporters or for anyone / everyone ongoing?
Also, is the Dhaal party still the furthest forward the main quest progresses?
I am in the potential target audience for Jasvalla, but at the moment her content has such design problems that it is impossible for me to even assess it. Specifically, I am talking about the scenes when visiting her on Tavros.
With Jasvalla, there are (at least) three potential issues combined in one character’s scenes:
1) There is a potential Bad End (with invisible progress towards it)
2) Scenes are repeatable, with variations and progress (training)
3) You cannot choose which scene you get (only secondary elements of it, some of the time)
Individually, none of these has to be a problem. All of them can definitely be positive features — bad ends are good; repeatability with variation means more content and more chance a certain variation may hit a sweet spot; and player/PC not being able to choose is a staple of domme characters in these games now.
However, combined together, and with a few other issues thrown in (such as the very slow cool-down of the Obedience meter that triggers the Bad End), they make the character’s content almost inaccessible.
Repeatable scenes with progress and variation, when you also cannot select the scene, mean many, many, many visits are required to explore the content. However, the constant threat of the Bad End also means that visits cannot just be repeated without taking meta-gaming measures: the first time the Bad End is forced the player may lose progress; subsequently, avoiding it requires spamming rest, saving/reloading and/or going off and playing other parts of the game (not in itself a problem for the game as a whole, but a definite problem for the writer — someone who wants to see scenes that you have written should not end up forced to go away and do something else first in order to get to them!).
Dealing with the cooldown of the Bad End meter (which I only knew about from reading other comments) meant that my save ended up reaching 100s of days (resting to burn off Obedience) while doing no more than dipping into a toe into the (presumed) extent of the content, while still also having to save/reload carefully because of the Bad End.
Progress through all of these different aspects of training could and should be entertaining, but it can’t be when there is the Bad End looming over it all, forcing all of this busywork.
The upshot is that — while there is clearly a lot of content here from an established writer and thus a lot of potential — at the moment I find that it is impossible to enjoy Jasvalla’s content at leisure.
To resolve some of this, I would suggest:
A. Make the Bad End opt-in only — i.e. when the Obedience meter caps out, it just triggers a new option to choose the Bad End, like after the first visit to her.
OR — Jasvalla will still force the Bad End, but only after the PC has completed *all* of her training to her satisfaction.
OR — At a bare minimum, add a message requiring an additional confirmation before a visit that would trigger/force a Bad End (e.g. ‘You hesitate before knocking at the door. If you visit her this time, will you be able to bring yourself to leave?’).
B. Provide more indications about the progress of repeatable training scenes, and speed that progress up.
For instance, if the writer wants to include repeated training scenes prior to unlocking an anal scene, that is not necessarily a problem — except that the issues described above make that scene (if it exists) immensely time-consuming to reach. Similar scenes are a staple in this game, not something so difficult to access. (There is no shortage of comparable dickgirl characters in the game who will just do it. Sera and Riya are literally just downstairs, after all.)
The same applies to the scenes where you cook for her, entertain her, and so on — at this point, it’s not at all clear to me whether it’s possible to progress these, or whether if you can you do so by repeating them or by improving stats or doing something else in some other part of the game. (This opaqueness would not necessarily be a problem except for the issues created by the invisible Bad End progress as mentioned above.)
C. Since all the initial, primary scenes involve the PC being trained, you could consider letting the player choose which line of training they want at the start. (This might make it more likely to make significant progress in one before the Bad End kicks in if (A), above, is not adopted.)
Given the nature of the content, and the fact that Jasvalla will still decide whether the PC’s performance was good enough and how to punish them, I think there would still be enough factors in place that stress the PC’s lack of control.
I hope that all this will be taken as constuctive criticism. There is clearly a lot of potential here and a lot of content that must have taken a lot of work to produce. But the author may want to consider taking some time to ensure that the scenes they have worked so hard on can actually be accessed by their potential audience.
There are some good suggestions in here. I’ll bear them in mind when or if I get around to expanding her.
I agree with much of this though I’d point out that Jasvalla was always intended to be a slow burn obedience training. Even her ‘training’ can take numerous training sessions to improve your skills in one of the areas. I know I did cooking sessions over a dozen times and was still only being ‘adequate’ for cooking prowess. From the sound of previous comments from nonesuch she was always intended to be a slow burn content to becoming the perfect beta.
Gotta say, really like the Jasvalla content! No idea why people complain so much about it. Honestly, she is more my cup of tea than Minuet who I wish I could stop encountering. I’ve beaten her once, so maybe she’ll go away now, but idk I think Jasvalla spawn rates on Zheng Shi are a little low. Might just be my bad luck!
The Issue with Jasvalla is that she will always treat you like your as weak as a spoonful of Jell-O…even after kicking her ass into the Sun, multiple times….
Also she comes off as a Yandere Psycho Stalker who refuses to leave you alone, and while Anime has sadly proven those types of characters actually do have fans…majority of people don’t like that level of Intensity…
And lastly, considering some of the options you have with the other NPC’s, TiTS Players want a way of keeping her, but toning down the Intensity a bit, to make her more…palatable…BUT, she is also NEW, so she’ll probably get more options and Players need to have some Patience.
🙂
I know people have issue with Jasvalla’s mechanics, but I’m more concerned with her sketchy writing. The Dzaan addiction makes note to say that you’re specifically lusting after big brown dicks, which I is a weird area tits has never had to deal with, being the whole universe full of wild aliens thing.
But even more of an issue, is that even if your preferred gender is female, if you have a penis and no vagina, Jasvalla calls you “a little boy playing with makeup” which is…
tits doesn’t censor itself but that just reads as hateful
If your character has tits she should have a different line there, that’s specifically for femboys.
I LOVE Jasvalla, when done right obsessed stalkers can be SEXY AS FUCK!!!
Will there be a different stalker character someday?
Just wondering because, having a chemically addictive alpha Dzzan can make it to easy for her to break and claim Steele.
A non addictive character can really stretch out the breaking down the MC’s resistance to her, until Steele cannae resist her/him/them (depends on what gender they could be) anymore and gives up to their new stalker.
2 more small questions.
Will or when can we recruit Emmy, or at least get new content with her?
Will we ever get to meet the FIRST-14 Overqueen again, for some sexy times with her?
Is the new Anyxine scene bugged?
Can’t get it to show and i’ve been trying for a while. Also it seems like the other William scene for her has an insanely low proc chance as well.
same here, i can’t get it to proc for me even after trying for almost 30min straight. Anyone know if theres requirements for it? (like having a penis or not)
Need a cock
As good a place and time is any to say that the first time, I completely missed the subtle implication that Tessa and Blue are siblings.
But having to replay everything from scratch thanks to the JavaScript rebuild, their events were chronologically much closer together and that was legitimately a neat twist.
Posted that before I’d played any of the content and realized that it’s literally the plot of Blue’s episode. Hee.
…More seriously, I hope the one’s marriage he ruined wasn’t Three’s. But I guess maybe Three’s first husband just died after a happy life? That was when they were comparatively young.
I was disappointed that after Blue’s scene, there wasn’t an option to talk to Tessa about what Steele suspects. There’s a lot of possibilities there: Tessa taking some solace in the fact her upbringing wasn’t nearly as sucky as it could have been, Tessa saying something like “Is that bastard still alive? Because if he is, he won’t be.” (and possibly Steele having the option to do something to prevent that, or not). Possibly a scene in one of the bars of Tessa and Blue talking.
Wow, after going through Pink’s scene its a shame there is no ‘Talk’ after that event, the shot drinks were really strong enough to kill that memory.
Any ETA on a new Android version?
Also would like to know this ^
It’s been a long time, was there a specific threshold tier to be in the credits for the Offbeatr backers? If so, what was it? If not how do you contact someone about being missing in the credits?
I found the emails, pledged… 6/11/15. Processed 7/2/2015. Pledged 20 (assuming the 2 emails are from upgrading which tier I wanted). I’m just happy I did it and wish I could do more in this convoluted life I’m living. <3
I had to go digging through my emails to find the old Offbeatr records, but yeah I found my 60$ tier record, which uh. brings up a question. There was some technical difficulty getting the order confirmed on their end which delayed me and I missed the chance to reach out and actually claim my rewards.
I don’t suppose I’ve completely missed the boat on those rewards? I’d sort of given up on them all those years ago, but seeing this call out for those that should be in the credits reminded me.
😡 Hoping for an answer
Ack! Wrong emote. Panic!
Is anyone else concerned that we now have 3 different types of dzaan addiction, none of which have any impact on one another? This despite them being the same species?
Is a Hellhound TF ever going to be a item?
There are two kinds of Hellhounds.
1. Treated Ausar like Ciaran and Demon Queen Syri.
2. The Hellhound sub-race (Canine/Lupine + Demon).
You can take the Treatment as an Ausar, but will never be acknowledged as a Hellhound (by the Codex or anyone else).
Getting the sub-race is tricky, because of the way Demon is calculated. And Canine/Lupine is bugged at the moment. Hopefully the race overhaul will resolve it.
Where is Blue? I could’ve sworn she was on NT, but I cannot fi9nd her anywhere…
