Today is Christmas Eve in my part of the world, but even if you don’t decorate tree corpses in your living room, I’d like to extend a hearty “Happy Holidays” to all of you and yours.

2020 has been a heckofa year. Travel restrictions, lockdowns, and general Covid-19 precautions have really put a damper on the ol’ holiday spirit in my neck of the woods, and doubtless on most of the world as well. We’ve seen health and family emergencies within our little “studio”. Flash died. You know, flash, the plugin our games have run on for near a decade! It’s kicking the dust, forcing us to rebuild and reorganize a lot.

But we’re still here moving forward. The JS build looks fucking slick. Geddy’s been logging a ton of hours whipping Tavros into shape but also reworking how the game’s data is held and managed in memory, something that is more necessary as it grows in size (over 500MB with embedded images!) In the meantime, we’re still working on the expanded tutorial dungeon. You can get a taste of what it will feel like with the new salvager enemies included in this public patch. I think they came out pretty great for “getting started” encounters. There will also be environmental challenges, tutorials for using a tent (and leveling up), a boss fight penned by William, and more.

I think you’re all going to love what we bring you in the new year, but for now, enjoy this arrangement of Christmas cheer and a small public update (and another one~)!

0.8.130 Changelog:

• Vark got a pretty sizeable expansion thanks to Damiekinz’s writing and Gena138’s coding. It’s now possible to fight him, defeat him, and even make him your pet if you like. Merry Christmas!

0.8.129 Changelog:

• Embedded some CGs by Doxy into Rat’s VR content (accessible via ‘test’ cheat in the image-embedded version of the game.)
• Fixed a few small typos.
• (And another patch may follow~!)

THICC Images Version available! (Requires stand-alone flash player.)

I’d love to tell you that I absolutely destroyed that Azra scene I was working on, but I fell into a pretty funky headspace last night that has persisted through today. Quite simply: I can’t mentally summon the degree of sweetness and care I would need to approximate Azra’s voice in the scenes right now. Instead I spent the afternoon chunking in a simple expansion for Brandy, a new scene from William, and cleaned up some bugs.

(Edit: Like the fucking CLOD that I am… I forgot to mention that Dreghan is in the game now too. Patch notes should be correct now.)

0.8.107 Changelog:

• Brandy can now be given dicksprout! You’ll need to be at the “Lovers” stage with her to do it, which means having received her letter and spoken to her about it (with the appropriate reaction chosen.) Afterward she will have two new sex scenes (one of which replaces the current exhibitionism scene) and a number of edits to other scenes to make mention of her new endowment. Written by HugsAlright, coded by me.
• The gabilani chemist got ANOTHER scene from William. This time, you can slap some grav-cuffs on her and take her to pound town – with an optional walk through the streets while you do it. That SHOULD complete her full load of scenes. The WIP/debug message when encountering her has been removed.
• Dreghan the big bad Korgonne can now be found, written by Freed85 and coded by Whimsalot.
• Fixed an incorrect dick error in a Tuuva scene.
• 

  Lorelei fanart by Jinsan on the discord!

  The gabilani cyborg no longer pretends that she won if you defeated her and then walked away.

• Added trip chance and stagger chance to the combat item stat list in the Codex.
• Cleaned up a bunch of typos.
• The Zaika Hydra no longer has 1 leg in the code.
• It should now be impossible to get both the “Black Latex” and “Wooly” perks at the same time.
• The Gabilani Chemist’s “Yellow Sticky!” status and two-part epoxy attack can now properly be wiped away.
• One of the Gabilani Cyborg’s busts should no longer be improperly sized.
• Various Crash Landing fixes courtesy of Gena and bug reporting players like you!

Adjatha doodled my suggestion of Kally joining a rahn convent to amazing effect.

Bugs in TiTS suffer the same fate as ants in my kitchen: extermination.

0.8.074 Changelog:

• Corrected a new bug that was introduced that basically broke all Jumper preg. Sorry!

0.8.073 Changelog:

• Fixed some bold bleeding in the Easter Jumper.
• Fixed some bold bleeding in Azra’s fuckable plants if you were under 33 lust.
• Added resolve stats to the following pieces of equipment: Khan’s Lab Coat, Thermal Underwear, Chit Plate, and Pumpking Armor.
• Another small fix/adjustment for Easter Jumper preg.
• Fixed ReductPro’s menu glitching out if you tried to use it on purchase with a full inventory.
• Fixed an issue with Bianca’s oral where PC’s with single dicks would be forced into the vagina variant for a bit.
• Mitzi & Bizzy’s scene selection menu now has a back button.
• Edan unlocks the Leithan Codex if you haven’t already when you meet him.
• Horn bumps no longer count as all types of horns.
• Lucifer should now be able to grow demon horns if you have horn bumps.
• The Next Page / Previous Page buttons for the display window AND menu now have hotkeys displayed on their tooltips.
• Fixed some Lund issues.
• Fixed another wonky Kiro trust issue. Will these ever die?
• Fixed some lingering references to the old tease skill values.
• If you hit the tease damage cap against an enemy, the next tease attack should cause full damage no matter what part you use (but only the next). (I need to update this to display a proper notification and status effect.)

Ain’t they cute? Fanart by Moe!

The new patch can be described as: Bizzy Expansion, Shade/Amara scene, and lots and lots of fixes.

I also reviewed an expansion for Lumi, the tainted Gabilani Tech on Tarkus by Skom. It’s pretty good, IMO, and clocks in around 10,000 words of new content for her. Hopefully somebody codes it soon, but I gotta dig back into the milk bar!

0.8.066 Changelog:

• A new event with Shade has been added, coded by LoriJ! If you’ve fought Amara and are lovers with Shade, you can get an email when exploring the Uvetan wilds than leads to some new fun, written by Savin!
  • Note: requires you to fight Amara and be lovers with Shade.
• Bizzy got an expansion! Includes lots of fun options, like interactions with Mitzi or Sera! Written by Nonesuch, coded by Somebody-Else-Entirely.
• Lots and lots of small fixes. Someday I’ll make enough headway on bug reports to spend some time working on new content. Today is not that day. There’s still plenty of backlogged reports from February.
• Milodan Omega Oil submission/bad end SHOULD have the bugs excised… I hope… for what… the third time?
• Year tracking for Xmas events (Krissy & Randy Claws in particular) has been improved. Previously, if you encountered the event at the start of January, you’d be locked out of the event in the following December since the year is still the same. It should now track and compare against the year it would be during December, though saves with a January year value stored will still face a year of screwiness.
• Fixed “short” travel events having incorrect transport times. (Really just from Gastigoth space into Gastigoth and one other oddball, but they’re fixed regardless.)
• Fixed a bug in the logic for penisRouter’s “infinite” max volume option.
• Fights with a cover mechanic should now display the cover % again. I also attempted to unify the few cover-based fight displays.
• Fixed some ship gadget use texts referencing incorrect ships.
• Ardia’s “Escape” option now requires the slaves be set free.
• Ship HP no longer increases with player statistics in any fashion. Previously a stat change would adjust the maximum value, sometime leading to a message about your ship being damaged slightly despite sustaining no damage. Now neither of us have to deal with that.
• Fixed Shou’s female rask bust not having a higher resolution variant for the image pack.
• Fixed some broken buttons in one of Paige’s sex options.
• You can now donate more than an integer’s worth of credits to Fadil.
• The Omnisuit shouldn’t spam you with updates about changing at middling libido.
• The Omnisuit’s maximum sexiness has been adjusted to 11, since it effectively occupies both underwear slots in addition to the armor slot.
• Goo Armor’s stats have been updated with its shifting effects to stay where they ought to.
• The Sexy Thinking perk now gives at least 1 sexiness no matter what.
• The Bounty Bra and Honeypot Bra have had their sexiness/resolve values corrected.

Pssssst… Yo punk, you hear that TiTS is on SubscribeStar too? Patreon hasn’t gone anywhere either!
