ArtTrials in Tainted Space

Finally, a patch! I cranked pretty hard this week getting all my ducks in a row for this patch, and I was thrilled to discover that we had even more delicious content coded in piping-hot from Leek. Check out the overly detailed patch notes below for a look at what’s coming in the patch, or look at the giant dragon dick-girl on the right if that’s more your speed. (More pixels are included in the Patreon and SubscribeStar posts!)

0.9.059 Changelog:

  • [Public] The Tainted Rusher is now available for all.
  • [Backers] Emese, the cat mommy (written by Doots), can be found on Uveto’s main street. (Leek)
  • [Backers] Sisterly Ruuing by William: With both Anno and Syri as crew members, and after both have acquired their maid costumes, players with a penis can trigger a new random event by simply boarding their ship in which the two Dornas tempt you with the prospect of domming them both in bed. Which of the two siblings gets to be first? (Leek)

  • Adjatha makes the most drool-worthy art.

    [Backers] New encounter on Phaedra: the Kihan Armature. It happens in a specific location on the way northwards in the east half of the map. This peaceful encounter will give you a little lore and set you up for the next piece of content…

  • [Backers] New NPC: Syne! After encountering the Armature in the wastes, Syne will be added to the random encounter table. She will give you a chance to help her out with a little problem she has: a mega-varmint inside a crashed ship with valuable data.
  • [Backers] New Micro-Dungeon: The Crashed Ship. This small dungeon features some puzzles, a fight with a nasty beastie, and the chance to get the ultimate in optional loot: sweet cologne.
  • [Backers] New Rooms: Phaedra’s first explorable area has been fully charted out for exploration. Room descriptions are still pending.
  • New Systems: Irradiated (and Heavily Irradiated) rooms, that can be protected against with airtight armor or armors tagged with the new “Rad Hardened” flag (not on any items YET). Radiation reduces all your stats by one when entering a square afflicted with it (more for heavy radiation). The effect is cured by your enhanced immune system at a rate of 1 point an hour, though at the expense of picking up a point of taint for each point of radiation damage healed.
  • You can no longer rest or sleep in irradiated areas.
  • Other actions or event procs that occur in radiated areas will not negatively penalize you. Radiation only applies with movement, as stacking up a huge debuff because you procced an autofellatio event would be hellaciously unfun. We’re here for fun, not gritty simulation.
  • Fixed a number of crash bugs related to recent code refactoring work. (Jacques00)
  • Fixed some navigational oddities and button updates connected to the Mail and Level Up screens. (Jacques00)
  • Added new parameter to control the image offsets via the manifest. This lets us control the position where the image is visible within the image boundaries (not physically cropping, but visually cropping the image)–useful for the combat layouts. So far, only one bust uses this, but we can add it to more busts, where applicable. (Jacques00)
  • The Level Up screen have some visual improvements. New additions will have a highlight color for the text and new/unchosen perks will have a color strip on the side of their level numbers. (Jacques00)
  • Perks on Level screen will display “Locked” for locked perks to preserve the “sense of achievement”. All unlocked perks can now be clicked on to display the perk’s information at any time. (Jacques00)
  • Added a receipt printout on the Level Up prompt so the user can review all the changes before they confirm. (Jacques00)
  • User can now Accept the level up to obtain the auto-gained class perks without needing to change the other stat and perks first. (Jacques00)
  • Minor updates to the piercing menu for better clarity. (Jacques00)
  • Cleaned up several items that had redundant defines for attackVerb and unused stat blocks. (Jacques00)
  • lowercase_donkey scurried through the code trying to bring us up to proper standards and cleared a bunch of bugs in the process.
  • lowercase_donkey broke and subsequently fixed a bunch of creature description functions.
  • Fixed a crash related to cumflating pregnant PCs. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed the mouse mechanic not appearing in Zheng Shi. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Extensive typo fix for a weird pattern: “Your scratch your nose.” (lowercase_donkey)
  • Fixed a vagId issue in Cackler. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Deployed a fix for Azra laying pipe in the text (“|”). (lowercase_donkey)
  • More work on getting a consistent palette of colors to pass around to places players can choose colors. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Spelling and text fixes for lots of Phaedra scenes. (lowercase_donkey)
  • Narc italic fix.(lowercase_donkey)
