[Backers] 0.7.99 – In Case of Kase, Break Kase

Where’s the expansion where we send Kase off to Doctor Badger’s for the weekend and get an anthro shemale-kitty back? Also check out this writing contest I’m doing for Halloween with a $500 prize!

0.7.99 Changelog (Next is 0.7.100):

  • Kase (the pyrite satellite quest guy) got an expansion pack! HugsAlright wrote it, and UpcastDrake coded it (99% anyway). You can run into him at Burt’s after completing the mission.
  • Kase can be recruited to your crew, though after meeting him in the bar, you only have a week to do so!
  • Kase’s arm will take some time to heal before fun stuff can be had.
  • I made sure to throw in some stuff for body part selections during fun scenes and capacity limits.
  • I also made the oral scene player selectable instead of random, because I’m told non-robots like that. Robots too, I guess.
  • Lots of fixes and tweaks.
  • Notable: an adjustment to stop the custom bust code from attempting to slam our server back-end. Thanks, Geddy!
  • Cardio is still the worst, though Fen lost like 1 pound.

In addition to playing Q/A beta-tester with Kase and fidgeting around to rebuild his sex menu, I reviewed a submission about a fan website being opened, dedicated to exhibitionist Steeles. It seems like a fun little addition, so it’s been added to the “approved” pile, though at the moment I feel it needs a quick scouring for grammatical issues that I’m not prepared to give it at the present.

I intend to dive back into the weapon submission that prompted our latest rebalance and poach a few of the more interesting devices to roll into the game (with stats adjusted to the new formulas) tonight.

[Backers] 0.7.98 – Doin’ Mushrooms + Spooky Announcements.

Before I get into the nitty gritty of patch changelogs, let’s talk a little about Halloween and holiday events. Some of you may remember that Poe A (and the resultant cool transformation events) popped up as special Halloween content, originally. The same thing happened with the Kashima incident. This year, to my knowledge, none of the other devs have anything special planned, so I’d like to open things up to you, the fans and fan-writers!

Everybody loves sexy [[INSERT COSTUME HERE]]. CoC Succubus by InkAsylum.

Now announcing the Trials in Tainted Space Hallowiener Spunktacular! 

That’s right, I’m going to run another writing contest. It’s been a while! Prizes are going to be way bigger than I’ve ever done before, so brace yourself.

You done bracing? Good. Check out these prizes:

  • The best-written entry will score a sweet $500, to be paid out via paypal, (or up to $300 in Steam games / Blizzard store gift cards).
  • Second prize will get pegged with $250 cash (via paypal), or $150 in online vidjagames.
  • Third prize will be pounded with $100 cash (via paypal), or $75 in online interactive electronic video entertainment through one of the aforementioned storefronts.
  • Any other submission we choose to use will be offered up to $50 in cash (via paypal) or $50 dollarydoodles in Steam/Blizzard fun.

Pretty spooky, right? Well, not as spooky as knowing that there’s a skeleton hiding inside you at this very moment, but we try. Before you go too crazy, give the rules a gander! Word on the street is that rules are the glue that holds civilization together. I thought it was dried lube.

Tainted Space Hallowiener Spunktacular Rules:

  • Standard event submission terms apply.
  • No minimum or maximum length, but be aware that a 300 page manuscript could lose out to a five page document of pure, distilled awesome.
  • All content should not leave any major hanging hooks. That is to say that if you end a scene with an NPC promising something more in the next encounter, and don’t write a next encounter, you’ll be penalized. It should obviously conclude so that players aren’t left chasing nothing.
  • Effective parser usage is encouraged but not mandatory. Learning all the parsers is too great a task to ask of anyone on their first go-round.
  • Content should not contain any content unsuitable for TiTS. This includes hyper-detailed gore, hard vore, loli, shota, etc.
  • Events can be sillier than normal so long as they’re silly-mode only.
  • New costume choices for Poe A would be cool as fuck.
  • Employees are not eligible to enter. (Though any employee that writes Halloween stuff we can use is welcome to get a full day of pay on Halloween for the effort.)
  • Entries will be judged by a panel including Fenoxo & Savin, though judges are subject to change.
  • All entries must be submitted by October 22nd in the appropriate forum thread.
  • I <3 you guys.

After the break, your regularly scheduled patch notes.

Because the last thing you want is the wrong pitch coming from your enslaved choir…

0.7.97 Changelog:

  • HugsAlright’s SubTuner expansion should be fully implemented, including a decent swath of new content detailed below.
  • New minor location added to Uveto: The Racetrack. Feel free to bet on races there and lose your money more often than not!

Seems a little fishy to me…

0.7.96 Changelog:

  • Accupitch Lab & the SubTuner have received a rework including some new options involving a psychic tentacle creature and the ability to go out and meet some familiar faces while wearing the SubTuner. Writing by HugsAlright.
  • (Sekrit Hotfix added to 0.7.95) Prai Ellit has been added to the game. You can run into him in the woods of Mhenga!
  • Void Plate had its long name changed to be a bit less of a wall of text when stripping it off.
  • Syri’s bust now has her trademark coat.
  • Fenoxo’s D&D game got 1% closer to being campaign ready. (Haha yeah right)

[Public] Not-So-Secret Hotfix

I’ve pushed some more code at the public build that should include a few fixes for Sera and content for a new character: Prai Ellit, by Frogapus. It might not load immediately for you due to caching, but tough cookies.

Someone pointed out that a volunteer coder who has helped with the backlog (UpcastDrake) has a Patreon set up such that he can only collect money if some of his stuff gets used in the public build, so once Geddy got things merged in today, I shot it out to you guys so he could make a few bucks. Nobody should really count on that sort of thing, though, and I’d recommend setting up your Patreon to just bill monthly. Voluntarily disabling it when you aren’t doing anything is a better plan than potentially losing out on a month of money because our attention is somewhere other than on Github pull requests.

[Public] Tainted Space 0.7.95 – Many Changes! Handle It!

0.7.95 Changelog:

  • Slutshroom harvesting and usage is live. Slutshrooms have also been added as a rare-ish drop chance for all enemies on Tarkus (presently ~15% drop chance). Includes approximately 3,000 words of sluttifying, moistening fun.
  • That’s it for now. Looks like Jacques00 hasn’t done any bug fixes or anything since my last stealth post.

Changes Since Last Public Release:

  • New Busts: Pregnant Rask, Syri
  • New NPC: Ciaran
  • New Scene: Milking Cameron
  • New Quest: Azra’s Tarkus Expedition! Includes two possible fights, a number of unique sex scenes, one new item (at present – should be three total eventually), and the ability to develop your relation with her to a more intimate stage (with five new sex scenes to support it)!
  • Updated a system for choosing a penis for a scene to better display why certain choices are unsuitable. Also updated it to allow for minimum requirements in the future.
  • Riya can now impregnate player characters.
  • Player characters can now impregnate submissive Sera.
  • Some fixes and tweaks to Sera’s content.
  • Nearly all items have been reworked to follow a point-buy system. Accessories are the only ones still remaining. Balance may be a bit wonky as things get easier or harder. Be sure to let me know if certain fights have swung too far in one direction or the other!
  • Blind miss checks have been consolidated down into one function.
  • A new item flag has been added that allows a weapon to ignore the effects of blind. Primarily intended for flamethrower-type weapons.
  • Laser weapons have received a slight buff to accuracy to account for their essentially instantaneous velocity (and the fact that mirrored armor completely invalidates them).
  • Melee weapons have been rebalanced and retuned using the new attribute weighting system.
  • Mirrored armors are now more vulnerable to bullets.
  • Two new shields added as rare drops from Sexbots and Beta Nyrea.
  • Uveto now has a weather system and Savicite drops.

[Backers] Weekend Luv

Just a small one while I have a bit of time late at night. I meant to have this out Friday afternoon but lost 90+ minutes fighting with sublimeText script macros on my laptop, then wasn’t able to code Friday evening for personal reasons. Anyhoo, tonight I did get some code time. Enjoy the new scene.

0.7.94:

  • Fixed a crash in the goo armor reference Jacques00 added to the double-goo scene during Azra’s Tarkus Expedition.
  • Added a new shower scene to Azra – Thighs&Frot. Needless to say, it’s for those too large to fit inside her.
  • Azra’s other shower options should now be appropriately size-limited.

Expect a public build to fall on Monday or Tuesday once I get at least one of Azra’s reward items added to the game. Afterward, I’ll take a small break to review more submissions and likely code the SubTuner expansion for backers… unless HugsAlright wrote something fucky in there…
