Hey guys! Smaller patch today. It turns out the bug reports have been kind of sliding in the background, so I’ve been punching on them in addition to tagging some of my game improvement projects from the meeting. I also spent some time working over the cybernetics systems that we have planned. Don’t get TOO excited. They’re going to be more like additional accessory slots than options to replace all your limbs with metal – writing scenes is complicated enough without adding even more variants that authors won’t account for.
0.8.062 Changelog:
- Dodging and evasion have been reworked!
- The base miss chance is now 5% for PCs and 10% for enemies (was 10% for both).
- Miss chance is effectively twice as dependent on stats. Before, it was 1% miss chance for every 5 points of advantage you had over enemy reflexes. Now it is 1% per 2.5 points.
- Evasion is no longer a separate miss roll. It is factored into the above roll.
- Accuracy now directly counters evasion.
- Ranged weapons no longer miss more easily than melee.
- The smuggler ability “Lucky Breaks” now converts 1/3 of evasion into bonus defense (maximum 2 points per character level) to grant some extra survivability.
- Very high numbers in stat bars are now abbreviated (at 10,000+).
- PCs with the “Pampered” background now start with more credits.
- The XP bar now displays (MAX) when you are ready to level.
- The default shield now begins play with 14 shields.
- Shield boosters from V-Ko are 25% cheaper.
- The male naleen’s victory option “Buttfuck” has been renamed to “Catch Anal” for clarity.
- You should now be able to level up by sleeping in a tent.
- The bug in the storm lancer that gave no choices on encounter should be fixed.
- Erika can now take virginities.
- Fixed an erroneous mention of balls for herms in the VR miniquest during Kiro’s rescue.
- Ramis now correctly takes virginity during morning sex.
- The milk thief should now properly remove airtight flags.
- The milk thief’s stims should work now.
- Leithan legs/feet should no longer be described as “lizan” unless the individual has less than six legs.
- Fixed a scene crash in the Doll 17 & 18 encounter.
- Fixed an error with meeting Kally for crew Kiro.
- Mitzi’s Vday event should properly give taint.
- Fixed a parser bug in Jesse.
- Visiting your baby laquines will no longer allow you to visit them for more than 5 hours. (Very high baby counts could result in 10+ day visits!)
- You should be able to fly Ellie to the nursery now.
Pssst, we have a SubscribeStar too, now!
Was the 10% Bonus evasion for lucky breaks removed for the new resist, or is the new resist added to the existing perk bonus?
The 10% bonus miss chance remains.
Check my math, please?
Maximum planned level is 20
Max Lucky Breaks Defense at level 20 is 40 (20 x 2), assuming no Evasion cap
Evasion Cap: 90% (Current achievable is ~82)
Lucky Breaks: 90/3 = 30 Defense
Lucky Breaks thus peaks around Uveto/Dhaal (if building for maximum Evasion) and scales up to level 15.
Also, does temporary Evasion from Stealth Field Generator or Cloak and Dagger factor into Lucky Breaks bonus Defense?
For reference, Tech Specialists will have 25 bonus Shield Defense at level 20 (25% of 100).
Granted, high level Shields are more likely to have innate Defense than high level Evasion focused gear. And Shields have built-in resistance, making Defense more effective.
High evasion gear also means you avoid a pretty significant chunk of incoming damage outright as well.
True.
My question was more about what the cap from Lucky Breaks is. Is it 30 (based on effective Evasion cap) or 40 (full Level, if you manage to get 120% worth of Evasion)?
So many things I love in this patch.
Apparently heard Pateron is going full anti furry, you hear about this yet?

Yep.
seems fake
It’s more or less in keeping with other notices they’ve sent to projects they’ve taken issue with. Of course, until I hear it from the source I’m not gonna stress it too hard, and as mentioned, we have a SubscribeStar as well now.
I know you’ve had to hold back and change certain content in the past due to fitting in with Patreon’s terms of service, in the hypothetical that they do take issue with furries (which are a large portion of TiTS) is SubscribeStar more liberal in terms of the content you can put out? (Obviously I hope you don’t have to deal with more issues from Patreon, I’m just curious if the possibility exists for you to revisit aspects you’ve been forced to remove/change for Patreon’s terms of service)
I would also like to know if you’d revist things you’ve been forced to change!
I would assume probably not given how drastic some of the file changes are and how long the changes have been active.
I remember the post that added the two new enemies to Kiro Quest (17 and 18) mentioned there was going to be an item added that let you replay their content later “next patch”, did that ever happen or is it still in the works? I don’t recall seeing it mentioned in any of the patch notes since.
Yeah that slipped in :3
Is this mf Deus Ex reference?
Can we get a preview or dev diary of cybernetics?
When are we going to get higher then level 10
It’s on the list for Dhaal. There’s just a lot of projects in the hopper at the moment.
It’d be nice if you’d buff the strength of the small blue eggs at least a bit, especially since as you get closer to birth, as they reduce the time till delivery by such small increments that it can still take a while even using the infinite item cheat and having it in the first slot so that all you have to do is hold down the button.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but in the most recent image version there is still a chance to encounter a ship when starting a new game before getting to the 1st planet even though it automatically takes you there
[…] Stat rework: dodge and evasion! PCs should miss less and stats should matter more for missing and hitting. More details here. […]
