Hey guys! I just finished up Zeikfried’s Yarasta – a Gildenmere educator at the thollum with some lovely exposition education, the rigors of war, and her own vagina. It even includes threesomes with her girlfriend if you catch her around the 20:00 hour.
I was going to release it as a build for backers, then chase it in a day or two with a public build… but something big happened. Gedan completed the bulk of her combat refactoring, which is somewhat akin to gutting three or four dragons, then sewing the parts together into some kind of necromantic hydra. I’m more than a little scared of it, but it’ll let us string together fights with multiple unique enemies with ease.
Allies can even properly assist as well. I’m talking about group fights. That sound you heard? It was Savin’s boner punching a hole in the bulkheads. The Shade/Kara fight could’ve been built much more nicely using this many-headed code-hydra’s +1 keen claws, and Mander Commander’s lovely next two dungeons should start getting some love as soon as Gedan emerges from her programming-induced hibernation.
One thing I do want to make clear – TiTS is not going to be a party combat game. There might be dungeons where you get a tag-along or two, but it’s more focused on a personal experience than encounters as a group. I hope that’s not too disappointing to anyone, but there’s always FoE to scratch that itch (or Savin’s next project).
Anyway, I’m going to post the experimental .SWF build up on Patreon and TaintedSpace.com for backers – just don’t expect it to work very well. Just wandering around the upper caves on Myrellion I discovered like three to four different crash-inducing bugs with encounters there. You might have to wait an hour or two for it to hit though – gotta clean up some other stuff in the meantime. Deliciousness is posted if you’ve got the privileges to see it.
This old Penny Commission was done by ComfyCushion, in many ages past.
um officer I don’t think you are using that equipment correctly also Fen do not fear the beast embrace it as one would a lovely salamander dragon hydra monster girl thing
It wouldn’t be so bad if her nightsticks weren’t canonically electrified. Ouch.
Penny is a masochist with a fetish for electrocution, maybe?
Could explain the picture though.
Yup knew the public build would come mid January to late February hell if it comes out next month i’ll consider it my birthday gift. Mind I love TiTs and tits. Also know things you people are doing is not simple or such.
So when can we expect a public release? A week? Two weeks?
I could do one today, but you’d be stuck with buggy, crashy fights for a month. I’m gonna hold off till we got something a little more reliable. A week sounds like a decent estimate, but no promises!
Why not take two weeks and put it through its paces without having to rush a public build out the door? I’d rather have a solidly stable build out with maybe one example of a group fight instead of waiting another month for it.
As far as the Shade/Kara fight… is there anything stopping you from just going back and recoding the fight to work under the new engine- or the PC/Anno vs. Grey Goo Queen fight? They might serve as good examples of the new engine.
But yes, if there ever was a good reason for a delayed public build, this is one of them. I can’t wait to see what this enables you guys to pull off in the future.
re Shade/Kara: That’s basically what I have done. A lot of the existing fights were based around abuses of what the old system could do, and as far as possible I’ve torn out a lot of the weirdness and replaced it with something more sensible.
So, not only does the actual core of the system need tweaking up to make sure it works appropriately everywhere, but many of the fights themselves have been fiddled too.
Gedan you are magic people I love you so much you incredible code sorceress. Is there a way to directly give YOU like twenty bucks as a thank-you tip? I figure my patreon covers day-to-day expenses but something big like this deserves as much of a gift as I can manage.
I was wondering when Gedan’s code monster would be finished, also I see you remembered to use ‘her’ this time Fen! Props for remembering, hopefully we don’t get too many confused readers about that. (Also Jesus does that sentence sound condescending, tone really doesn’t transfer very well through text)
I’m immune to your condescension – which is probably good. Otherwise I’d be giving you the boot 😛
*rain pours on Fenoxo* Condensation? Bad joke. I’m full of them.
I’ll admit, I did not know Gedan was a girl till this post.
I’ve thought Gedan was a guy for a long time now til I saw Benji say “she” a couple weeks ago. I wasn’t super sure about it cause I swear I saw Fenoxo say “he” in one of his posts soon after.
I will assume from this point on that it is she.
WHAT THE FUCK GEDAN IS A CHICK!!! FOR YEARS I THOUGHT SHE WAS A BLOKE! holy shit.
Whoops! I saw several posts here refer to Gedan as a guy and went with it! I apologize if I caused any offence. I know I wouldn’t be very happy if somebody repeatedly refered to me as a girl. D:
I read a bit through this whole Gedan-Fen-Benji stuff and as far as I understood, Gedan is a trans man… or trans woman? You know, the one who is biologically a guy but then turns into a gal. That kind of Trans. Could be that I’m wrong… because I’m stupid, english isn’t my mother tongue and I can’t read.
Uhm… I’m well aware what a trans girl is.
I just wanted to say that I didn’t know I was using the wrong pronouns this whole time.
So for clarity, will the next public build (whenever it comes out) include the KaraQuest content? If that’s the case, I’d also vote for pushing back the public build until it’s stable.
Probably not? Geddy could answer better than me.
Possibly. It’s already mostly done, it needed the fights implementing… most of which were based around having multi-target combat ready to go. So we’ll see :V
Is Savin’s next project going to start while TiTS is still being developed?
Yeah, though it shouldn’t impact TiTS’ development speed much.
Source: it’s been in the design pipe for like ~6 months and TiTS is still puttering along.
Will it be a porn game or something you can actually put in your CV?
Is Gedan involved, or have you magically learned to code?
Yes, porngame. Yes, Geddy is muh codedragon.
Hey fen I’m just wondering, when you said about “tag-along’s” in some dungeons do you mean we can bring some of our crew members into certain dungeons or do we get a temporary follower just for that dungeon?
The latter.
Like Anno accompanying you on Gray Goo-Quest, or Saendra in her adventures. Specific characters for specific dungeons.
Thanks Savin 🙂
Personally I’d implement an SOS summon so we get a flavour of party combat outside of dungeons, a silly idea but it’d feed into the idea of the crew doing their own thing whilst you adventure off the ship. Anywho….
The SOS summon would basically call a crew member for emergency aid (you’d have to set who is “on duty” on the ship), they’d turn up in a unique fashion and do something. Celise would be a lust release, Reaha as well. Anno a damager… etc, etc… It’d just be a once a day thing though.
The main reasons that party combat will not be a full-time thing are that the various win/loss scenes would have to account for them, and that even having crewmembers is supposed to be optional (making balancing harem-Steeles with loner-Steeles a bitch). Both also apply to pulling a crewmember out of your ass for one fight.
If your character were big enough, with Celise you could literally pull her out of your ass. :V
Wouldn’t be pulling out of your ass if done right, Anno would probably be off exploring anyway for stuff to analyse for R&D. Celise would probably be doing Celise type things, Reaha would likely be staying on the ship until cured though and same for the droid. It’s more of an idea than anything else right now but it’d be interesting to draw up a crew rota and could give some amusing events.
For instance Celise on ship cleaning only to be found entertaining herself in the supply closet, running into Anno while she on exploration duty for map updates/sexy time, etc, etc.
“which is somewhat akin to gutting three or four dragons, then sewing the parts together into some kind of necromantic hydra”
Come at me bro!
Maybe we should start calling Gedan a necrocodemancer.
Funny, yet awesome.
What ever happened to the daycare
Other shit took priority over it. Still on the backburner.
Better keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burst into flames… after all, some people can burn water ?
The hell? That wasn’t the emoticon I used… X_x
My mother melted an aluminum sauce pan once. I’m not kidding.
Wow, mutsa been one hell of a stove top.
Savin’s next project?
you make like 20 thousand a month what is your excuse dude seriously. The art you post is absolute garbage. The bestiary has some of the worst art I’ve ever seen, half of it is just copy and pasted. And Updates are few and far between
Tough tits.
“Tough TiTS?” That’s what easy mode is for! *badum tish*
… I’ll see myself out.
Well, at least I found it funny.
Same
the art is bad because fen is scared of any women under the age of 30 lmao. So every character he comissions has to be “mature”.
Tis true. I’m scared of 28-year old girls with big fake tits.
But seriously, maybe I should just uncode this ant-girl I just added with A-cup boobs.
please don’t i will love her I promise
“updates are few and far between”……………he does at least a build a week for backers, he posts once or twice a week on progress he is doing, most of the artwork he posts is either made by fans, or he commissions someone every once and awhile so the only people your insulting there is the artists.
this is clearly a troll post, either become a backer or keep your cheap ass mouth shut about how others work, nor do you know how he divides up the 20 grand, like he just cashes in on that amount every month. your obviously new here thanks to patreon or something but fen hasn’t changed his method of updating since the early days of COC when it was all free for us to enjoy, so what if he’s cashing in now. he’s earned it. this is an embarrassing post, just skulk in the shadows from now on, peasant.
Things were slower in the early days of CoC, before I went full-time. It was something like a month and a half to get the bee girls added to the game.
That’s 20k for at least 3 people then patreon takes a chunk then taxes set in. He’ll if I had to work and code in my off time I wouldn’t even start a project like this. besides most of us pay like 5-10 bucks a month and the content we get is worth that.
He’ll the shit fen and the others post on the front page is worth 5 bucks in my opinion anyway.
Keep up the good work gods of otherworldly smut! 😀
bruh this is his only job and he’s gotta pay the team too. either chill or stop supporting TiTS monetarily, thereby losing your right to complain about anything development-related.
one may not begrudge the delivery time of fun stuff one is getting for free
Amen to that.

Forgive me if I’m out of line or anything, but didn’t Fen mention something about “giving Emmy a sack of gems” or something along those lines? What happened to that?
in one of the previous posts, I mean*
Fuck yeah, I forgot to write that one – though I did get the version for giving her crystal shards in the game.
ooOOooh!
can’t wait for some of that hip breaking action she promised, in love with how aggressive she is, almost like she’s afraid to go all out, I think we should be able to encourage her rough behavior much like telling urta we like how she gets when she’s drunk. 😀
Here’s hoping you don’t forget it again. 😀
I didnt expect Gedan to finish the upgrades for another week at least, even without the extra work from CS. She must have been “burning the midnight oil”.
question where is this Gildenmere that you talk about because i can’t find it
Gildenmere is the cityscape where the Gold Myr call home.
I was wondering if you had any plans to expand upon the Syri character and interactions involved with her. She’s my favorite so far and it’d be awesome to see her be utilized
Syri is Savins. Ask him.
Course, he’s probly tired of answering dumb or irritating questions.
Yeah, Syri’s got a hefty expansion in the pipe.
How about a hefty expansion of HER pipe? Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. Okay, bad joke.
You totally missed a chance for an anal gape joke.
Thanks for the answer, Savin. You guys are doing a great job with this game.
-Elliot, no need to be rude. Just asking a simple question.
Wait so I’m not the only Transgender person here?
Well, there’s my girlfriend…
my opinion, thats weird…but that is my way. good on ya for finding someone for yourself. or did they find you…now im confused…>.<
As far as I recall, fen and……(sinarra? Idk) met because of a D&D session by Apple or something, idk, correct me if I’m wrong
Someone*
Wait so I’m not the only Transgender person here (mtf)…
Sorry about the double post.
Now I’m curious if there are any ftm transgender folks in this community…
Edit: I totally went dyslexic there. Derp. My girlfriend is mtf >.>
Wait, your gf is ftm?
Ya goofed, Fen.
*head-desks*
uhm…. ….I didn’t mistype anything this time. MTF as in Female to Male. I mean, we don’t hear about them very often.
Now YOU dun goofed.
…FTM*
Thanks, Savin, i suppose.
at least I it’s apparent that it is a typo…
I’m so confused…
Wouldn’t wish being Transgender on anyone. I feel bad for my boyfriend, I want to have sex so bad, but as a girl, not a really feminine guy with a small rack.
The really fucked up thing is I can get the bottom surgery and not pay a dime but I have to pay my student/parents loan or my parents can loose the house, and I don’t get sick days so… Just so screwed…
That sucks.
I apologize if I offended you somehow. It was not my intent.
You didn’t offend me. Just depressed about my situation is all…
we need more Penny content, any info regarding that?
Check my twitter feed.
You’re the best
So is advancing only to level 8 going to be a permanent thing? It seems low even for Myrellion, can’t imagine what the next planets are going to be like.
Yeah, we decided to keep ramping up the difficulty, but we’re never going to release any more levels or better gear after this! Better get gud, scrub.
(New levels are released as higher-level encounters are. The game’s in alpha, we need you testing things at the appropriate level thresholds.)
