Tessa Quest do be lookin’ busty.
Happy Humpday! I just got out of our weekly meeting, and I have a lovely little patch with a raft of fixes, improvements, and a follower expansion for T1K4, the tutorial medi-bot to become a member of your crew.
Gedan and I are a little less visible this patch because we’ve been down in the train dungeon’s fuel car, shoveling code into the engine for its long-awaited (and too-long delayed) release. One of the potential openings has a fight against three discrete enemy statblocks while having a friendly ally helping – which means a ton of extra work to polish author-written text like “The sword slaps into the side of your neck.” into “The sword slaps into ${target.isPlayer ? “the side of your neck” : target.getCombatPronoun(“hisher”) + ` flank`“. Gedan’s first-drafts of the combat mechanics have been fantastic, and I’m crawling through spit-polishing every facet I can get at to deliver a good user experience.
I can’t wait to show it off.
0.9.099 Changelog:
- [Backers] T1K4 is expanded to be obtainable as crew and usable as an accessory for once-per-fight heals to shields and HP. Written by Magenta Needle and coded by Lowercase Donkey.
- [Public] Dhaal’s post-party party is now accessible to the general public. It’s a great way to pass the time until Feruze is ready for a Taxi ride…
- New Bust: Station Mistress (part of Tessa’s quest)
- Under the hood work was done to better consolodate status effect notification text in combat – for example, blinding a large number of enemies at once should report on all of them in one of the little SMS-style text windows. (Gedan)
- Fixed busted parser calls in the post-party party. (Jacques00)
- Fixes for some appearance sub-menus. (Jacques00)
- Gel Zon’s femboy scenes should trigger properly. (Jacques00)
- Improvements to Kattom’s name display. (Jacques00)
- Tweaks to the player immobilization systems. (Jacques00)
- Fixes for large eggs & Ovilium. (Jacques00)
- Accupitch labs now has a disabled tooltip with an explanation for why you can’t get in. (Jacques00)
- Fixed an Extrameet crash. (Jacques00)
- Fixes for the Great Majin and stepping off of her. (Jacques00)
- Updated Smuggled Stimulant’s combat use text for NPCs.
- More fixes for the Shalin Shaman (Lowercase Donkey)
- Lots more subtle fixes and tweaks!

Oh good , always felt bad just leaving them there lol
i will be updating Tika’s wiki page today, though her recruitment seems fairly cut and dry
where can i find a updated wiki for the game?
Station Mistress?
damn, I should really work on Tessa’s quest.
speaking of which, does she have multiple quests or something, I recall only her birthday/wedding party quest
is this a new expansion that got released recently
Yeah there’s a two quests now.
Soo, I called in for her rescue, and now she is no longer on First-14, so I take it that means I either lost her as a crew member or she is somewhere else?
So I saved T1K4 from First-14, can I still get her as crew, or is she just gone?
I think it should still be attainable.
Found her, for those wondering, Just fly to Tarkus, that gets the ball rolling, though the intro makes less sense if Anno has been on your crew for longer than FIRST-14 has existed :p
is Olympias crew toy content fixed? or does it still not trigger since the sidewinder has no utility room?
The coder that coded the crew toy stuff has been away, and the other coders have had their hands full.
alrighty
thanks for the info
keep up the great work guys
Is anything else planned with Tessa’s 2nd quest? It felt like more of a dungeon then a side-quest and that might be coloring expectations for unique scenes with the enemies or more decisions during it.
I thought the post-party party was already public (at least I’ve seen it in the public version). Has something more been released?
Hell Yeah I’m glad we can get rescued Tika, Hopefully Paulette is next on the saving board
>a ton of extra work to polish author-written text like “The sword slaps into the side of your neck.” into “The sword slaps into ${target.isPlayer ? “the side of your neck” : target.getCombatPronoun(“hisher”) + ` flank`“.
That’s really interesting. I wonder if there could ever be a way to streamline this.
Afaik this basically *is* it streamlined.
My recommendation would be for them to hire a toolsmith, and make them a specialized editor that knows what the parser variables are. Give the authors a tool that lets them right click and get some help for putting the correct items in. Ideally such a tool would allow the author to try vary values for the various variables to verify veracity of the verbiage.
ooohhhh yyyeeeaaahhh baby. new T1K4 content is here!
Is Tessa’s second quest still bugged?
What about Blue?
There’s a bug you guys should know about. Telling bimbo Siegewulf to stay as crew on the ship and trying to leave the conversation procs a farewell line from siegewulf. The farewell screen is locked, no navigation options away you’re just stuck on that screen.
Hell yeah, Tika expansion. Great to be able to rescue her from the derelict station.
Could somebody please tell me how and where to trigger Tessa’s quest?
the first is by getting her trust up on Tarkus and going through different sex scenes then going to a wedding then getting one of the endings that leads to sex. the wiki has all the answers you seek
I did the wedding and got a good enough ending that lead to sex since i have Tessa’s panties, however i don’t see anything triggerring for the quest, nor do i know how and where to trigger it
I’m having a problem with Tessa and Kiro. To advance Tessa’s story, I need to either grow tits or give her some wine. To give her some wine, I need to have beaten Kiro in a drink off, which I never happened to do. I’ve recruited (bimbo) Kiro, however, and the drink off isn’t an option when she’s a crewmember. So to drink together, I need to kick her from the crew. Doing so assures me that this is temporary, and that I can re-recruit her from any bar. I can now drink with her, but there’s no apparent option to re-recruit her. The only possibility is the Talk option, which is greyed out, and would presumably be from the old Kally storyline which I have completed.
Maybe it was meant to be any bar, but afaik the only place kiro is willing to talk (aside from as crew) is at Canadia’s bar. That’s all I can think of, never bimbo’d kiro myself so can’t say if this is an issue unique to that version or what. Good luck to ya.
Right, like I said, already completed the Kally storyline so Talk has no real function. I tried getting Kiro to show up at Canadia but she just doesn’t appear. Waited several days, in 1 hour chunks, and she never showed. There’s just no way to recruit her back, as far as I can tell. It seems like a bug.
i’m pretty sure i’m just locked out of doing Tessa’s expansion cause i fucked up the wedding quest two years ago, feels great
use the save editor and delete the flag numbers
So, how do I start Tessa Quest? Do I need to need to get know her more🤔?
Don’t know if that fits here but is there any news about phaedra content? like its been half a year and we have some assets that still unused in the files for furute phaedra content.
The ‘train dungeon’ is Phaedra content.
how do i access it tho?
You don’t, because it’s not ready. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer.
Is it possible to bimbofy kiro mid save or do i need to start a new one? (already rescued her without getting bimbofied)
use the save editor to give her the ditz speech perk
Is there any more content to the station mistress other than her post-win sub scenes or her (extremely short) post-lose bad end?
If so, seems weird to have such an important character with a deliberatly complicated leading up to and a post-encounter branching path, just to have very limited content, none repeatable, while seemingly having no different outcome at all no matter the path chosen, which seems like a downgrade to the marriage quest which is a direct lead up to.
Just gotta ask? will we at some point be able to have both siegwulfes as crewmates?
That would require a significant rewrite of the implementation. They’re the same character. The game determines which content to use based on if she has certain attributes.
Does this post party content involve a certain dragon gilf? I would absolutely love more to do with her.
T1K4 disappears immediately after backing out of her Interaction menu.
sorry for asking this on here but, i have to talk with kiro about the picardine but the option to talk with her never trigger , i already have the 75% of trust so what do i have to do?
