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!

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.
0.7.98 Changelog:
- The second rare plant from Tarkus is now enabled in Azra’s menu. It comes to mind that I forgot to enable it as a rare drop as well. Expect that next patch.
- Jacques00 added a belly-size penalty status effect and overall reworked that system. Be sure and help us nail down all the bugs!
- A new bust for Azaphel and the raskvel traps has been added, drawn by Adjatha.
- Several item duplication bugs should be fixed.
- A few new items have been added that can expand the size of your base inventory.

Yep. Third tipped me off first >.>
Do the submissions need to be written from a second-person POV?
2nd person present tense, just like everything else in the game.
Thanks.
technically we are inside our skeletons. this should generate some interesting content
Did you know that you can also lick the skeleton that is inside of you?
We’re all just brains, controlling a skeleton mech with an armor made of skin…
I like to think of myself as a parasitical entity inside a meatbag host.
Are they really traps when you can easily spot the results of XY chromosomes?

What is the deadline for this? More over i assume it must be a stand alone event taking no liberties woth previouspy existing characters, right?
Just woke up srry i confused the rules for the changelog my bad. Carry on gentlemen
Costumes or content! O.O I have ideas! Let me see if I can get them pulled together in time!
So could I invent new race to the game, or would I have to throw in a line saying that the NPC is a modded creature? Furthermore if some of the content leads to a fight how would we program an NPC to battle or would we simple say that they go into a battle and you’d code out the specifics if it gets chosen.
You can invent a new race, but you would have to write a codex entry for it as well, it’s completely viable to say the NPC is modded. Any fights you include would be coded by the staff, you wouldn’t need to code anything.
Appreciated, I’ll be sure to have some fun writing some spooky smut.
LoOKs like fun
where do you find the raskvel traps?
In Azra’s Tarkus expedition.
Can they really be called traps when they have basketball testicles?
Better than the stupid tiny penis trope either way. 😛
Can hardly call yourself a trap if you don’t a cute, feminine toy dick.
None spits truth yet again
There’s nothing feminine about dicks of any size, good sir.
Yes, they can. It’s much more than just about penis or testicles.
Am I allowed to add new items? I have an idea for a new Poe A “costume” that doesn’t transform you. I’ve never been a fan of forced transformations but I don’t want the costume to disappear like the others. I don’t know the stats of all the armors in game so you might have to balance it yourself.
Oh that sounds interesting
Mind telling?
You know that certain helmet she offers? Wouldn’t it be cool if you get get the whole suit?
I’ve already finished the first of 3 sex scenes with her. I may add more after you put on the armor or maybe I’ll add a boss fight with one of the classic Metroid bosses.
I’m also thinking of adding an encounter with Holiday off world in case you’ve already been to Poe A but you still want to buy the armor. She’ll also offer a holotape that she secretly recorded so you can relive the scene you chose whenever you want.
….okay now that sounds like a wonderful idea alright
Goodluck all you participant’s. Had I a laptop, I would certainly try my luck. Top prize looks tastey indeed.
Could we maybe get an option to wait out a follower’s pregnancy? It’s kind of a pain in the ass to keep waiting over and over again just to see the scene of Sera having the baby.
Is there any particular format that we’re supposed to use for the submissions? I’ve never attempted to write anything with the intent of it being in the game.
Google Docs are always preferable! Just make sure you set it so anyone with a link can comment!
I am interested in the inventory expand item.
How I get them?
From “The Last Chance” on Uveto station. 30,000 credits, increases base size of your inventory to 20.
thanks
Yay for vague patch notes.
Although, to be fair, they’re not *that* hard to find.
Apparently, some vendors now sell backpacks.
Shekka sells one that increases your inventory to 15 spaces, and whatshername on uveto station sells one that gives you 20 in total.
There might be more, I’m not sure. Apparently they don’t stack with each other.
Thanks so much.
“Jacques00 added a belly-size penalty status effect and overall reworked that system.”
Come on, having giant dick and huge knockers won’t restrict you, but preggo-lovers have to suffer?
you have to be more careful about the life growing within than you do with your extremities. also big dicks and boobs are supported by underwear while a big belly has no support to help stabilize it.
If that’s the case, then there should DEFINITELY be some sort of belly-supporting underwear that helps negate belly penalties.
Amen to that
We will have to ask Lela if the company that makes her bras also sell girdles.
Is there any plans in the works for the Pyrite Rep or the Gryvain agent on the satellite retrieval quest?
Pyrite Rep (Kase) has an expansion that makes him a crew member that should be in the game soon.
Can i get a honest response as to why Loli and Shota aren’t allowed?
I just noticed how weird it was that I was playing something which is practically a fully smut game but somehow haven’t encountered any of those 2
Just curious really
Underage depictions are illegal in some US states, and it generally draws an undesirable crowd.
Same reasons bestiality isn’t allowed.
*cough* But parasites are fine because the actual logic dictating things here is what pleases Fen’s dick *cough*
I think ya mean ‘Fen’s horsecock, *cough*’ lol
Seems about right
But isn’t loli/shota someone who only APPEARS to be underage as opposed to ACTUALLY underage? I know that there’s an anime out there that I can’t remember the name of where one of the main characters is a space pirate who wears an adult android body because she looks like she’s six years old but is actually over like 10,000 years old. And no, the character’s not Washu, since she can apparently change her appearance at will and simply chooses to look young.
It’s just a fantasy anyway, so i don’t know how people can talk about “actual underage”. In my opinion, it’s all just “appearance”. That’s how it supposed to be pretty much. I don’t even remember someone mentioning character being underage, since in jap games it’s always censored (even if mentioned “character is still going to school”, school\class is censored). And yes, many shotas and lolis is over 1000 years old, or just like 20-30. Appearance (that fit some archetype like “oppai loli”) is extremely significant. It’s actually the first and foremost component in every shota\loli. And only then his\her personality. Age doesn’t even matter, and you don’t even know it in most games. There is a ton of loli-immortal vampires for example, like Remilia and Flandre Scarlet.
But overall about your question, it can be both. Lolis\shotas can be actually underage in game\anime, but don’t need to at all.
Some people aka paladins of justice always gonna “it’s not just a game you fool! You can become pedo because of playing this!” Both loli and shota is niche genres. Same with bestiality. You either love it\neutral, or hate it with insane force of “justice”. Completely understand why it’s not in this game, even without “legal or not”. Still arguable, since some fetishes there is pretty niche too. Especially if someone may consider some races as “more beasts than humans”.
I can say, is that there is (arguably) some shotas though. In form of traps.
Arguably, but not a strong argument. Shota implies underage. Trap just means a hidden package under a feminine facade.
I call them ambushes
Implies or not (that’s in my opinion arguable too), but you don’t know character’s age in most japanese games at all. Shotas or not. Even MC. And don’t even think about it much. FYI, loli can be 1000 year old witch with huge tits. You don’t know it in this game too. Trap can be shota. Vice versa, shotas famous for sometimes having very feminine side. Where is that “line”? You can surely say “this shota is NOT a trap!”, because it’s easy. But can you say “this trap is definitely not a shota!” Difficult questions. And many people have some kind of bias or double standards about it anyway.
“It’s all about appearance” pretty much. Appearance is most significant part in both shota and traps, not age, or personality. But it’s the most deceiving part, so… only easy when authors telling you about genres in their game.
Overall, what i meant is that you can’t just say “all shotas\lolis are actual underage in games\animes” (not just appearance). Since it’s absolutely not true at all. And second, all this archetypes\appearances can be easily mixed. Loli businesswoman+big tits\ass, shota trap-immortal vampire+turning into something entirely different later in the game.
You can “make” your PC a loli/shota though in game (height, chest size, etc.), I’ve done it to see how far it’d go via in game items (afaik, shortcake won’t drop you below a certain height but I think goblinola will decrease you to somewhere in the 3′ range? Don’t quote me on that), but with a save editor you can be legit 0inches if you choose. While no content is directly supportive of it, you “can” technically have that kind of character if you so choose.
does it have to be halloween themed? the event we write?
If you want to write different outcomes for a single choice (like PC has a choice between costumes A,B, and C), then do you have to put all three down into a single document, or would you be able to split it into three?
Unless you’re making something that’s like 100+ pages, just use Google Docs’ headings feature and keep it all in one document.
hey odd request but can it be changed so that weapons like whips can be used in the melee or ranged slots? like a prompt when ever you equip it asking you what slot you want to use it in. id understand if its not possible but I think its a neat concept
Probably not going to do that, I’m afraid.
Honestly I’m just hoping that some one gives the Gabilani some love, and Halloween would be a perfect time to do that. Ghosts, Ghouls and Goblins and all that wicked fun.
Same. One of my favourite races.
I had a couple questions regarding the requirements for the story. I understand things like new items and races can be added so long as a codex entry is added as well but:
1: While the story must be written in 2nd person, is there a gender requirement or does that need to be left ambiguous?
2: does the story have to take place after the current events of TiTs/CoC or can it be it’s own self contained story that could take place at any time within the game.
3: While current NPCs can be used can new NPCs/characters be added to the story? or aside defeatable monsters can new NPCs be added for use? such as a new crew mate or NPC to an already established location?
4: Does the story have to follow something that Poe A would give the protagonist or again can it be it’s own self contained story?
These are just the questions I had. I have a story and event that I’d like to expand on and present for the contest… but mainly for someone to read and see how it was. but this idea would require a more self contained environment over the current canon though it can easily be altered to fit the TiTs universe so long as it could take place as a more random encounter.
We’re not looking for a story — we want event submissions for the game! So yeah, it needs to accommodate Captain Steele, who can be of any race/sex/body type, and it needs to be able to be slotted directly into the game. New NPCs are fine, and you don’t have to do anything with Poe A.
So it is an event submission that could/can take place at any point in the game?
That is correct, although CoC is a completely different “universe” that isn’t connected to TiTS at all, so it’s events would not affect anything.
I had an idea more for a TiTs theme anyway. I was hoping to do something with a transformitive virus. one that is more complete.
Also thank you for the confirmation. I will have to start writeing soon.
If only I had a paypal account.
If only my grammar wasn’t junk in the trunk…¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ooh boy, already have my imagination going.
Will Poe A expansions be shown favoritism, since “new costumes would be cool as fuck”?
No. I just think new Poe A costumes would be easy to add.
It is a relatively easy task compared to some other things.
Sounds like a challenge to make a costume that, for whatever reason, would be agonizingly difficult to add.
That sounds like a needless and self-defeating challenge.
False, you are inside a skeleton.
You are a brain.
sera disapares from your crew when you fly to uveto, is this a bug?
Probably not. Might be an event or thing where you can find her somewhere on Uveto. Then again, I’m not sure, but that’d be my guess.
It would be terrible to write a 300 page manuscript and have it lose out to a really awesome 5 page one. I haven’t rooted about the forums in awhile, but I imagine there’s a guide for formatting events?
There’s all kinds of resources on the event submission forums.
[…] 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 […]
Just curious, what do I do if I have multiple unconnected scenes? I’m currently working on a Holiday costume/boss battle scene. But I’ve also been thinking of adding my OC in since she’s super halloweeny. (She’s a robot pumpkin)
I also kinda want to write a scene for Inessa if I get the chance.
Should I include all spooky scenes in one submission or should I make multiple submissions?
I think one submission would be the way to go, though disparate things should probably be in different documents for ease of handling.
When we comment on the submission page, how should we submit our entry? Via a Google doc? Or does FA work too?
Google doc with comments enabled is the preferred option.
