(Pssst, don’t forget that CoC2 just got a public release!)
Alright guys, this is one I’ve been getting asked about for fucking ages… and what’s worse is that the writing was done months ago, just waiting on there to be actual code for ships. Now, before I get into this, a word of warning: This patch is not 100% complete in regards to stealing the sidewinder. I still need to update all the room descriptions for its departure, and undoubtedly other changes and tweaks are going to be made as well. Be aware that saves made in this patch may not reflect future changes to the Sidewinder’s stats if anything needs adjusted.
(Not bad for a guy with an ear infection…)
0.8.008 Changelog:
- You can steal the Sidewinder! It goes fast… really fast. More than twice as fast as any other ship in the game. It also comes with a very defensive sex-bot that will need to be dealt with.
- Speaking of that sex-bot – she can be a full fledged crew-member… as long as you stay onboard the Sidewinder. If you swap it out for any other ship, she’ll ditch you to stay with the Sidewinder. Probably don’t sell it.
- Amber got some new scenes to personally “Drain Her,” written by Wsan and coded by Legojohn. Great stuff, guys!
- A new option for having log notices appear in-line with current scene text is now available. Please note: In some rare instances this may cause log notices not to display.
- Carl’s shop found its tooltips.
- Some bug fixes, like usual!
O_O
Is…
Is Olympia a crew member now…?
Am I dreaming? I must be, this is too good.
First. Very important patch. Download already started.
Pretty important, yes, but how is it the first important patch?
I think that he was (incorrectly) saying that he was the first to post, and then saying that the patch was an important one to upgrade to as a separate statement.
Wierd. Wuen i posted there was nothing else here. Fuck.
Will there be an image-pack soon?
I think an image-pack will come with the next public patch
Could you make it so that the message about having reached the level cap don’t appear infinitely, but rather only once/a handful of times? It’s not user-friendly to display the same message to the user over and over
I’d like to second this, it gets annoying fast to read: YOU HAVE REACHED [blablabla] every single time you sleep/have sex. If it’s not much work I’d really enjoy it being displayed only once.
I submitted some code that adds a toggle option to the game. If enabled, it makes it so that those notices display at the top of the page, rather than getting their own unique page.
Little sad there wasn’t a big ol’ space battle for the Sidewinder (soon to be renamed). Can’t wait to see though what the finished version will look like. Been awaiting it for last few days.
So uuuh, how do you actually steal it?
nevermind, reloaded and option appeared.
Hey, Wsan, is there ever going to be the possibility of being impregnated/impregnating Amber?
Ya, someday.
Just wanted to say I’m happy to see some of Amber’s older scenes adapted – I’m sure it wasn’t the most thrilling writing because of this, but it’s appreciated.
So now that the sidewinder is stealable (or steele-able :P), is level 11 coming soon (ish)?
When there’s content for Levels 11+, those levels will be added. Same as always.
Are you still going to make that alternative Starter Planet after Zheng Shi?
What’s the storage on the Sidewinder like?
Also what happens to your current ship?
You can sell it or put it in drydock at Tavros.
it goes to stored ship in tavros just talk to Vahn
My Sledgehammer didn’t, it just disappeared. The only thing in storage there was the Casstech. Thankfully I didn’t save.
To be fair, you DID leave it unattended on a pirate base, RIGHT AFTER stealing the pirate lords flagship. What did you think was going to happen to it? On the other hand, you don’t need it anymore, since the Sidewinder is the best ship so far, near as I can tell, in pretty much all stats.
If i remember correctly, there was planned to have consicuences if you steal the Sidewinder, BEFORE earning the respect of all or atleast most of Zheng-shi’s gang leaders. Or that idea got Scrapped?
Probably not, which is why I would recommend not stealing the Sidewinder until those consequences are revealed. Especially since similar things have lead to players becoming upset, such as Dr. Badger, Kara, and RK Lah.
Badger is mostly because she seems to have been de facto recycled into a convenient “container” for other community-submitted content long after introduction tho. Moral of the story is to avoid removing/incapacitating NPCs (especially “vendor” types) just in case, I guess.
But yeah even the devs’ stuff has enough “path lock-outs” (eg. various Kara-Shade-Zaalt stuff) that it’s probably a good idea to tread very carefully with partially implemented content whose ramifications aren’t clear yet.
This is what the save editor is for: have a grand old time now, and if something gets added in/broken later, you can always make a new game and “cheat” yourself through it really fast.
…I’ll just swallow my pride and ask: who’s the A.I. Expert I should take Olympia to see? I hope it’s not Doctor Badger, I kind of… turned her in.
Content does not exist yet. Definitely will not be Badger, though.
Thanks!
Why would she need to see an A.I. expert?
Part of her new conversations. At a certain point it says you’ll need to find one to be able to fix something with her.
In her new conversations once she’s crew, you can ask her about “wouldn’t you like your old memories back/to know who your owner was?” and she suggests it MIGHT be possible, if you find an AI specialist to dig around in her memory banks.
hehe 0.8.008 :p
Thank you for not letting this go by without incident. I would have missed it if not for you kind stranger.
Disappointed in lack of joke related to this update number
Olympia has some nice knockers.
Ever since i first found Olympia, i’ve been smitten. Finally! big booty bot is coming home! …and also sidewinder yay really wanted that ship.
so awesome to see this finally being worked in, and i know you guys have gotta be glad the “when this!?” questions stop (for this at least) woo!
I would love to see a little bot love competition (Bess/Ben and Olympia) trying to show how they’re superior. After many, MANY climaxes they both realize that Steele is the real machine, having exhausted them both.
Sounds fun to me^^
So are we gonna talk about the fact that this game is, for the time, officially “TITS BOOB”?
I know this might not be the best place to ask, but will there be an expansion on addictions? Seeing more crew members getting addicted to you Red Myr spit like Shekka? Perhaps more crew members getting interaction with the Mindwash visor? Speaking of Shekka, will there be more content for egg laying if you have an ovipositor such as her getting addicted to that as well?
Apologies again if this isn’t the best place. I’m just curious where more addiction paths or content is going/coming?.
I think I’m the only one that really likes that kind of content, and I have the least writing time of all the staff. Sorry to disappoint.
Well you’re not the only one. I thoroughly enjoy that kind of content. Created an entire character just to explore Shekka’s love with an ovipositor and using red Myr venom, Hopefully some day we get more content like this or an expansion on what we have now.
Perhaps even more hypnosis content.
Keep up the great work Fen!
Isn’t there a Adjatha bust for Anno? I saw a picture of her on some banner for the game made by them. Will that ever be put in?
It is in. That’s a bust for Huskar Anno only; I still haven’t brow-beaten Adj into making a normal Anno bust yet.
We also need a bust of Warden Kasmiran too, since there isn’t a single one for her at all.
There is one, it just wasn’t added. Adj did that one iirc.
Savin, if ya tell us which is Adj’s drawing hand we will happily twist the other.
go with plan B, wrench to the foot, he doesnt use those to draw, and he wont be limping much
seems to me like bribery would be more effective
Where’s all the stuff you can buy for Olympia. The steele suit, and the different tail-cock attachments?
Anno sells the synth attachments for androids, as well as the Steele Tech suite I believe.
Suit!
Make sure to buy the REGULAR suit, she also sells a much more expensive armored suit, and that one doesn’t work.
Awesome new patch, love that we can finally have the Sidewinder and Olympia as a companion! LOVE the new Amber content! Thanks Wsan!
Hoping for new Azra content soon! Would love to see her interact with Olympia as they’re “both” Gryvians of science!
Azra is a suula.
Doh! How did I forget about those special suula tentacles..! None the less, more Azra! Especially for the female Steele’s!
The sex-bot is not futa is it i hope not.
…you’re playing the wrong game aren’t you.
No i just don’t like chicks with dicks call me old fashioned but i like my women without a dick.
Only if you want her to have one.
If you’re referring to Olympia then I’m pretty sure that’s wrong. She always has a dick whether you want it or not.
Could have sworn that was removable. Oh well.
QED given how you’re already getting your knickers all a-twist. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m guessing the sidewinder is the best ship that’s out right now
Yep. Mostly due to its high power output. Against the default enemy ship I run out of things to shoot before I run out of power for once, even with 3 turret type weapons.
Between this and the infinite crew cheat I think I’ve found my ship. Once everything in ZengShi is finished and we know there’s no negative consequences that is.
Well, I can’t wait for next month
Is it me or does olimpia looks like she’s holding the sonic screwdriver from dr. Who?
Sure as hell looks like one
I’m actually curious how you’d adjust its stats. It’s suppose to be some revolutionary ship design no? It wouldn’t be worth breaking into a pirate base and stealing it if you can just pay credits for a common everyday ship that’s somehow superior.
I would adjust the stats by changing the number values associated with them.
:3
Fair enough.
It’s supposed to be a stealth ship which, iirc, is a Black Void or UGC tech for ships. So pirates needed to develop their own on a different kind of budget so they could compete with the Black Void who probably have ships that can outclass the sidewinder easy, but not its stealth tech. So its “revolutionary” for being a ship that isn’t owned by some corporation or the BV pirates.
So what do you think it should excel at then? As far as I know stealth isn’t a factor in ship combat currently.
To be fair, it’s a revolutionary ship due to it’s disgusting speed, the descriptions mention the thing is mostly engines. For pirates, this is amazing, since they can chase down any merchant vessel that tries to flee/evade them, loot the ship, and then get out of town before (or even after!) the space-police show up. For a player, you might not need all that speed, and want a ship with more armor/guns/hold space, etc.
Total missed opportunity not naming this patch 8.008.135
hehehehehehe. boobies
AWWWW YEEEAH!!!
Swipin the Sidewinder AND Olympia! Gonna go Outlaw Star on this fine space faring lady!
Btw has anyone figured out who is the AI Specialist we’re looking for to help her?
Not implemented yet.
I will take a wild guess and say it will be Fisi.
Outlaw Star
Captain – Steel
Bio-android – Olympia
Shota fiction fuel – Kase
Muscle catgirl – Ramis
Sword wielding assassin – ???
Hey Savin, you have any idea about when we might expect anymore content for Anyxine?
No.
is it possible to have more than one ship?
yes, you have a hanger on tavros that holds all your ships that you bring back.
would anyone be interested in animating a 3 minute music video based on TiTS? just thought I’d ask.
Probably nobody. Asking random strangers to animate over 2,000 frames isn’t the best way to get it done.
yeah, just figured I take a shot in the dark. ever since watching Guardians of the Galaxy I’ve had this idea for a music video of Hooked on a feeling featuring various TiTS characters. unfortunately my art skills are laughably bad.
Is it possible to get amber’s old scenes implemented as a crewmember? I was disappointed when I found that taking her in locked those off, instead of saving me the time wandering the woods looking for her.
Are there any plans for impregnating other crew members like Anno, Reaha, or Yammi?
None of those three, at least.
Y’know, I just read an article that makes me think we’re severely underutilizing the platinum-190 we can obtain, as it said that the current price for it would work out to 3.6 BILLION dollars per troy ounce. OUNCE.
IRL, of course, but still…!
Yeah, but we don’t use dollars, we use Credits. What’s the conversion rate? Also, it’s probably not nearly as rare for a galaxy spanning civilization, since they can go mine asteroids/other planetoids, etc, which probably drives the cost down.
You’re no fun. ?
can you be better about being trans-aware????? women aren’t the only people with vaginas dude
My wife is a transwoman, but in TiTS, the available technology makes it quite easy for transwomen to be “normal” women and transmen to be genetically men, with functional penises and their vag removed. It might be more accurate and inclusive to say intersex aware or genderfluid aware, or LGBTQIA+ for complete inclusion.
Moreover, it may be relevant to consider that this is a porn game, and that porn, by its very nature, is crude and politically incorrect. It might also be worth remembering that anti-lgbt transphobes control 2 of the 3 branches of American government, and nitpicking at one of your allies’ word choice does nothing but potentially alienate friends in that fight.
…and you commented on the wrong blog post about it.
As a trans person, I understand your frustration, but this is probably not the best way to move toward constructive solutions.
I’ll also add that a good chunk of the game is generated by players. Not that the onus of representation should always fall on the individual, but there are constructive ways you can help to rectify the situation.
If the representation you seek isn’t there, TiTS is a unique space where you can write the representation you want to see in it and submit it. If you’re not comfortable writing them yourself, there are a lot of writers who can be commissioned to do so.
I’ve worked on NPCs that represent trans feminine, ace, and queer characters specifically so that TiTS would have better representation in that regard, but I’ve been hesitant to write trans male characters myself. And it’s not because of disinterest, but because I don’t know if I can speak with authority in that space.
If you can write with that authority, then I think it would be awesome for you to submit something and get some trans male representation in the game. ^_^
Would love to fight the Jumper leader again and possibly impregnate her!
The “shoot her” path is broken:
