First, a word from Chief Code Dragon, Gedan:

The game save system has been overhauled for Electron (read: Windows downloaded builds). The new system will save all of your game data to json files outside of the control of Electron; this’ll reduce the chance for your saves to go missing if something fucky happens with Electron, give you an opportunity to copy/backup the files of your own accord, similar to the Save To File/Load From File options, with the benefit of the nice, pretty save slot interface that already exists.

 

The system will automatically convert your existing save data into the new file system when you load up the downloaded build for the first time. In about a month, there’ll be a further change to the downloaded build that will also overhaul how the imagepack system works, making it more reliable, faster and use less space — part of this will require your save data to have been converted to the new file system, or you’ll lose access to your save data. We will probably keep a pre-change build accessible somewhere to facilitate the conversion once the switchover happens.

And I thought I was happy to find Lithium in Subnautica…

And a short TL;DR version from me for any lovely IRL bimbos out there:

• The save system is like, totally getting updated to help keep your mean ol’ computer from eating your saves!
• In one whole month, the new hotness is gonna be all the rage, but it’ll be too new to see the old and busted hotness. Lame!
• We’ll have a special link on the play page in case you’re like busy fuckin’ for this whole month or something and miss out on getting your saves converted, so you can convert your old saves whenever!

Now… it is time for… the 0.9.114 Changelog:

• [Save System Update] Saves are being converted to a more robust system that is less likely to lose your saves due to routine cache or cookie clearing (for the PC download builds). (Gedan)
• [Backers] Cum addicts can now trigger random acts of cock-suckery out in the world when they’re in need of a little bit of extra semen. (Writer: William, Coder: Leek)

  • Paulette’s immigration event with Flahne has had the text updated to remove explicitly American contrivances (Social Security Numbers and the like) and better reflect the world of TiTS. (Fenoxo)

Paulette by Adjatha!

Whew, this is a long time coming! There’s a lot of things I wanted to get done testing and polishing before releasing this, but with familial obligations approaching this weekend, I would rather you have your hands on this now than sit on it even longer.

A lot of my time over the last two weeks has gone into playtesting the game. Paulette’s recruitment arc starts out on Tarkus, and I wanted to play through the combat encounters to make sure they were up snuff. She also has higher level content, meaning the best way to test her would be to take a lower level (or fresh) save through the whole game. This presented an opportunity to create some proper test saves for the Kineticist class. Merc, Smuggler, and Tech Specialist all have test saves for character level to make testing content easy. The new kid on the block needed to catch up.

It has not been the smoothest sailing. In addition to doing a lot of tweaking on Paulette’s initial Tarkus tank quest to get it up to the quality levels I find acceptable, I kept finding myself side-tracked into fixing other bugs, balance issues, and aggravating content. Around Zheng Shi the Kineticist class can really start to struggle, especially if suboptimal talent selections are made, leading to me scattering a generous wave of buffs across the class. And I think they need more. My psychic babus are going to get some more higher level adjustments in the future – I just need more time to play, tweak, and test them further.

0.9.111 Changelog:

• Hotfix: Fixes for numerous crashes as a result of public builds failing to access utility functions in backer builds. (Donkey)
• Hotfix: Paulette’s sleep with scene should no longer soft lock.
• [Backers] Paulette Crew is IN. Written by Magenta Needle and coded by Leek. She has a small quest on Tarkus to get her recruited, culminating in a battle with a tank! Once onboard, she has several events on other planets and a bit of a quest…

0.9.111 Balance Tweak Changelog (All ‘Noxo Baybee):

  • Debris Field lasts 6 rounds (up from 3).

• Reset encounter proc count on reaching Maike. This will prevent a random enemy attack from immediately occurring after the boss fight.

Behold, the prize for getting Kiro’s panties – by ToonNik.

Right here! …but also our TiTS have been a little saggy and deflated this month for a variety of reasons, bullet pointed below:

• Our lead artist and project reviewer had a vacation.
• Another artist / coder also took a vacation.
• Fen’s upstairs A/C went out during September’s last hot days – Fen’s work PC and office are upstairs. ($800 later, and she works again!)
• Fen’s gout flared up and took him out for ~1 week. It was a rough week but resulted in dropping 10 pounds and a real change in his drinking habits for the better.
• Fen & his wife overnighted in the emergency room because one of her chronic health issues decided to level up and prevent her from being able to intake water.

It has not been pure idleness, however. Leek is deep in the butthole of a 100+ page character expansion that should be nearing completion – as soon as it’s ready, I will be patching. Gedan too has been busy – she’s been rebuilding how the image pack is delivered and install to function properly on OSX, which has been a nightmare of permission hells. Once she’s got it all ready, the higher resolution images should be easier and more reliable to install. And we do have some updates and tweaks that I’m going to push out the door right now.

0.9.110 Changelog Hotfix #1:

• A hotfix is rolling out to address the new dracow busts not displaying. An error in the image manifest was addressed, and errors in the bust calls for the characters were corrected.

0.9.110 Changelog:

• [Public] The Dracow family expansion is now public.
• Phaedra II got its first chunk of room descriptions. (Fenoxo)
• Vagina parsers were rebuilt. I found the existing adjective selection for the vagina descriptions to be a little too cringy for my own tastes, so when Nonesuch requested access to individual parsers for a vaginas looseness or wetness I saw an opportunity to address it. The new system utilizes a commonality system for words so that more outlandish, “purple prose” should come up much more rarely, while common terminology appears much more frequently. Please be sure to let me know if it starts describing your vagina in absolutely insane ways (and note that wetness level descriptions elevate with increased lust values). (Fenoxo)
  • Added pc.vaginaWetnessAdjective parser to output an adjective indicative of the vagina’s wetness.
  • Added pc.vaginaLoosenessAdjective parser to output an adjective indicative of the vagina’s looseness.
• New CGs: Kiro Panties, Penny Panties (ToonNik)
• New Busts: Chia, Yzi, and Bixia – the Dracows. (Adjatha)
• Various small fixes.

She’s out to kiss troublemakers and chew bubblegum… and she’s all out of bubblegum!

Yeehaw, pardner! Even away from New Texas, we can’t help but rustle up some back-home country goodness for yall to enjoy – this time in the form of Nuka moisture farmer, penned by our very own head artist, Adjatha!

0.9.109 Changelog:

• [Backers] The Nuka Rancher is now able to found on Phaedra! This puffy-lipped cow-poke shows up as a random encounter on Phaedra’s glassy wastes. In the future she may find herself relocated to a smaller subsection of the planet’s hazard tiles where she can be more reliably found, but all things in good time. (Written by Adjatha, coded by Leek)
  • This tough fight summons up clones of herself to tease you from multiple directions at once! Her intended defeat path involves clearing her psionic additions to stun her for a swift defeat, but please let us know how the combat feels for your particular character in the comments. I was able to reliably defeat her with my level 12 tester after a handful of nerfs and adjustment to the base implementation. (Fen)
• [Public] Suze!
• Fixed an Ardia crash. (lowercase donkey)
• Rewrote the scripting for a PowerBoner combat event to avoid triggering warnings. (Fen)
• Implemented a system to manage panty CG display. (lowercase donkey)
• Added an artist filter for the art gallery. (Jacques00)
• Added some improvements to our save & bug report systems to better identify bugs that occur as a result of improperly modified saves. (Gedan)
• Fixed an art gallery crash. (Jacques00)

Consider enjoying all the pixels for this upcoming CG from ToonNik on our Patreon.

The lovely folks on the CoC2 team pushed out a patch today as well!

Now that the train dungeon is out of pipe, the content must flow regularly once more! (Check below the changelog for discussion of ongoing work that didn’t make it in for this patch!)

• [Backers] The Dracow Family has been expanded to allow you to spend time with them in a more one-on-one way. As before, you can bump into these lovely ladies on the pastoral getaway better known as New Texas! Written by Sil the Dragon Lover and coded by Leek.
• [Public] Anno’s advanced anal training is now available for all!
• [Public] Calia is now public!
• [Public] Tanis’s Expansion is now public!

Voulez voulez suze avec moi?

I’m getting a raging clue…

0.9.106 Changelog:

• [Backers] Suze can now be met at Kally’s above Vesperia on Canadia Station! She’s like the coffee people always claim to love: tall, dark, and strong. Written by Nonesuch and coded by Leek.
• [Public] Carmelita is now in the public version of the game! (Next patch should have three big projects go public too.)
• Jacques00 ripped around under the hood of the combat UI to make a lot of tweaks and improvements.
• If Easy Mode is enabled, the player can see a list of the opponent’s general immunities and statuses at the bottom of the appearance text, if applicable. (The player’s combat appearance screen will have this regardless of Easy Mode.) This should help with some clarity if the status effect icons on the sidebar aren’t enough information. (Jacques00)
• Hureya can now move on from her pillory with a ticket. (lowercasedonkey)
• Improved the Capsule Hotel on Dhaal’s menus and functionality. (Jacques00)
• Weapon-dependent special attacks – particularly the level 13 ones – should now properly check and require an appropriate weapon. (Jacques00)
• Equippable drones should have damage information on their tooltips now. (Jacques00)
• Mimbrane combat bits that missed getting hooked into TiTS:Javascript Edition’s new combat UI has been hooked up by a lowercase donkey.
• Fixed two softlocks in the train dungeon. (lowercase donkey)
• Cumsluts can now drink cum bubbles. What a twist! (Jacques00)
• Unused images hid themselves from the image gallery. Shy little fellers! (Jacques00)
• Synthsap fixes. (loWercAse donkEy)
• Fixed the Myr Unification rally proccing twice. (Jacques00)
• Various bugs and typos fixed. (Jacques00 & lowercasedonkey)

The TiTS train is pulling into the station, and you don’t want to miss out on boarding this ride!

Note: I highly recommend keeping a save from before the start of this dungeon, as it may catch important updates in the days to come.

0.9.105 Changelog:

• [Hotfix] Thermal Disruptor + Boosted Charges now procs burn chance based on an intelligence vs reflex saving throw instead of a flat 1/3 chance. It also creates a longer lasting burn for 10% of its base damage per turn (pre-defense).
• [Hotfix] Fixed the AoE portion of Static Strike.
• [Hotfix] Added more consistent checking parameters for isBlind() and removeBlindness().
• [Hotfix] Added toxinEffectsList() and use for isPoisoned() check and removeToxins().
• [Hotfix] With “Void Sight”, not all instances of blindness are covered (such as “Pitch Black” and repeat “Smoke Grenade”). Because of this, at the start of each turn, if “Void Sight” is active, it will automatically clear any valid blindness effects.
• [Hotfix] Added missing image entries.
• [Hotfix] Updated body part stats for train dungeon enemies to more accurate match their species and appearance.
• [Hotfix] Creed’s dick length has been set correctly. Whoops!
• [Hotfix] Fixed a crash related to “show mercy” or “keep sucking”.       :3
• [Hotfix] Fixed scenes missing bust art.
• [Hotfix] Caught and killed stray curly braces. { But did we get them all? }
• [Hotfix] Fixed a rare crash caused by an interaction with shield bypassing weapons and multi-foe fights.
• [Hotfix] Thermal damage is now correctly listed as burning damage.
• [Hotfix] Hureya’s claw untangled its tooltip and description values.
• [Hotfix] Lots of small typos and issues with the new abilities cleaned up.
• [All] Level 13 is unlocked and ready for play! Abilities are in their “first pass” form and may be wildly underpowered, overpowered, or perfectly tuned – you be the judge! (Fenoxo)
• [Backers] The first Phaedra II dungeon is available! It’s a battle on a speeding train, and these hyena-folk are feelin’ mean! (Coded by: Gedan/Fenoxo/Jacques00) (Written by: Savin/Nonesuch/Skom/William/Magenta/QuestyRobo)
• New Bust/CG Art: Train Dungeon NPCs (a lot!), Zenn, Niddhy, Claes panty CG, and Saendra panty CG. (Adjatha & ToonNik)
• Additional CG Art: the old bestiary images by Renezuo.
• New mini-map effects: per tile and whole map. Check out the new dungeon to see them in action!
• New Weapons: lightning claw, flaming axe, witchboy staff, grenade launcher (with selectable grenades), rocket hammer, and plasma halberd.
• Fixed a save bug causing some item values to be stored as strings instead of numbers.
• Status Rework: Burning got reworked to build up on repeated hits and scales off of your weapon’s fire damage value. (Fenoxo)
• Ranged combat miss chances were incorrectly based off of physique instead of aim. This has been fixed. (Jacques00)
• Paralyzing shock now correctly deals electrical damage when upgraded. (Jacques00)
• Fixed Nyrean Spears having completely janked-up values. Instead of dropping a fresh instance of the item, they were copying their actual held item to be dropped. That item had some non-standard values set to tweak the mob’s balance. (Geddy)
• New UI colors: brought back the old “Bubblegum” colors, but renamed to “Fuschia”. Added a few “Techno” themed colors. (Jacques00)
• An absolute butt-ton of other fixes. Seriously, there’s so many. (Lowercase-donkey, Jacques00, Gedan, Fenoxo)
