Just gone done fiddling some things around in the back-end of the website to clean up a lot of how we were handling Patreon user data. Part of it was adding support for multiple projects to be handled side-by-side, so, anybody who had existing Patreon bindings for their TiTS backer status will have to re-link their account. I did a lot (read: a lot) of testing to try and make sure this was as smooth as possible, but as always, there’s probably a bunch of shit I done fucked up, so post away if it doesn’t work or you get some errors. At least the profile page has fancy status messages to tell you if things worked or burst into flames now!

Art for the Seer fucking a Cap’n by Cherrigig who has authorized us to use it in the artpack (eventually) in exchange for a Patreon plug. Check out their work!

Let’s rip the band-off first. We’re cutting a bunch of the most obtrusive incest content from the game to better comply with Patreon’s terms of service, starting with all of the “Inner Circle” Frostwyrm stuff. Soon I’m going to make Kiro and Kally step-sisters as well. Shade is probably going to stay as is for the present.

Why? There’s a lot of reasons I could cite, but the only one that matters is that I have a number of employees (and commissioned writers) that count on us being able to pay them every month. We’ve got enough bankrolled to pay the bills for quite a while, but getting kicked off Patreon would still force me to consider laying off some of my good friends and employees before too long to try and keep the company positioned well to continue making content. Risking my friend’s jobs (and my own paycheck) isn’t worth indulging one specific fetish. I could probably transition to a new service and do okay by myself, but we couldn’t get back up to the kind of numbers we pull on Patreon in any reasonable amount of time.

Nykke isn’t going away for good. Savin and her author (B) hashed out a plan to create an alternate intro for her where she is not your offspring (but presumably preserving the bulk of her fun scenes).

If this alarms or upsets you, and you would like a refund for your most recent pledge, please send me a message on Patreon.

What’s the other thing? Penny’s recruitment quest has its second encounter done. This is the most involved encounter I have planned for her, since it features two enemies with unique per-character moves, a different kind of grapple mechanic than we’re used to, the ability for one of the enemies to defeat itself, and two different victory menus depending on the status of characters when combat is won. I absolutely adore the scenes I wrote for these, especially if you let Penny get sucked into a pod and then rescue her.

0.7.232 Changelog:

• Frosty’s incestual content should be removed thanks to a lot of work from Quiet Coyote that let me continue to focus on Penny instead of having to chunk through old content to cover our collective asses.
• The second fight of Penny’s recruitment adventure is now live. Includes three new victory scenes, one bad end, and some slightly tweaked versions of the original scenes for if you somehow win without Penny getting turned on.
• Sera received an expansion from Nonesuch & DrunkZombie. It adds the ability to turn her Sterilex on or off, a reverse cowgirl wakeup scene, a tweaked shower prank to be avoidable after the 1st time, and a tender pussy fuck sex scene.
• Kattom should stop showing up in odd places.
• Amber’s Mitzi threesome should be fixed for the two dick option.
• A bunch of other tweaks and fixes.

Just a heads up that I’m hearing a lot of reports that the newest Chrome update is finally killing in-browser flash for a lot of people. If for some reason it hasn’t, prepare yourself. It will.

You can either  grab a standalone flash player to open the .swf OR grab the adobe air version we have nicely packaged with an exe to play the game. Just download the zip, dump it into a folder somewhere, and run the .exe.

It’s a holiday anyway, and last night my nose became spiderman. (Spoilers)

Edit: removed the embed so nobody would get mad at me about spoilers.

Both CoC2 and TiTS got an update at about the same time! Be sure to check out both posts!

And there is a Caption-Writing Contest going on right now!

The slavebreaker NPC document is now over 70 pages long, with four win scenes, four loss scenes, and a bad end. At least one of those has a big choice or two as well. I’m working on writing the texts for her combat abilities now, then I just need Wsan to finish the scene he’s polishing off and write up an alternate combat description for the variant he designed.

Backers can expect to see these beauties show up on Wednesday evening if all goes to plan.

Back to the smut-mine!

Just an update that I’m mostly doing better now. Yesterday I finished off the scene I mentioned in the previous post, did a short story, started another short story, coordinated some new writing commissions, made two new rare drops for the Jumper, made a new piercing and put it on the global rare table for Zheng Shi, and made a “hasPiercingOfClass” function (well, refined it. I started it a while back) to easily test if the PC is wearing a specific piercing anywhere on their body (used for a piercing that increasing lust damage taken and dealt to scaled enemies).

Firstly, Jim Sterling did a pretty decent video on the situation. Usually I don’t care much for his content as he has a tendency to spend 20 minutes saying 5 minutes worth of things, but this one is decent. It gives some good background on the group claiming responsibility.

Now, the affected developers are reporting getting messages from Valve saying the previous warning was in error, and that a manual review was being done. I feel like it’s too early to declare victory, especially when the manual review could still demand further censorship, but it’s a start.

Gonna be a quick one today. Yesterday I finally paged through all of the 150 page “Space Yakuza” submission. Today I reviewed two or three other things until I hit the enormous mass of Dr. Makius (150+ pages). Then I finished up a scene for Mitzi, the goblin fucktoy (who I’ve worked on here and there when the mood strikes me). It’s 2000 words of pussy-focused drugged mind control, because why not?

Tomorrow I intend to slap out a public patch, and following that I’m going to slide Mitzi into the game by bits and pieces for backers. Then my priority is complete a big story mission for Korg’ii Hold I’ve been planning for a while so that I can move on. And of course… I need to review all of Makius and many other submissions. I’m five months behiiiind!
