Fen here, reporting in to report that the train dungeon still needs to cook some more. Additional bad-ends are being slotted in, and playtests and tuning of the combat encounters are ongoing. In the meantime, Leek and Adjatha have been absolute heroes at working through community submissions and adding them to the game – and Tessa’s Quest is now publicly accessible as of this patch!
0.9.098 Changelog:
- [Backers] A new New Texan encounter! Are you a horny enough dude(tte) to please a family of sexually ravenous dragon-cow hybrids? Written by Sil the Dragon Lover and coded by Leek. It should start out as a random encounter while exploring New Texas. It requires the player character to have a penis.
- [Backers] Thanks to Sil the Dragon Lover (writer) and Leek (coder), it’s now possible to flag yourself as your crew’s toy, and get used sexually by a wide swatch of potential crewmates. Note, not every crew member has interactions.
- [Backers] A gabilani has been added to the extrameet encounters on Tarkus. She’s looking for someone to clean up all her creampies…Written by HatTrick3010 and coded by Leek.
- [Public] Tessa’s Quest is now live for the general public!
- The Uveto elevator should work more consistently.
- Fix: The Shalin Shaman can no longer get shot out of the air, land on you, shoot you with her crossbow, and then trample you in one round of combat.
- Quest log fixes.
- Lights Out puzzles with limited failures should now function correctly.
- Various other small fixes, particularly typos.
0.9.098 Hotfix #1:
- Added busts: Ahsha, Chiaki, Security Guard (from Tessa’s quest), and Naomi. (Note: Tessa quest appears to be missing comprehensive bust calls, so it’s likely that NPCs are not showing up in all the events they are supposed to.) (Fenoxo)
0.9.098 Hotfix #2:
- Kimber’s item list should display correctly. (lowercase_donkey)
- Areolove should now address all rows of breasts when making changes to specific nipple traits.(lowercase_donkey)

- Added busts & art: Flurry, Orroah, Celise Panty Email. (Fenoxo)
- Birth gender should now be tracked in case we ever want to reference it in the future. (Fenoxo)
Now Ahsha is a character I can get behind *wink*
who’s this new Snake lady on the cover?
also, I haven’t been following TITS for a while is this Ahsha the cover snake, or some important new character?
she’s the snek from Tessa’s dungeon quest
when was her dungeon available? I do not recall seeing it
It’s just now publicly available
I do not ever recall seeing the dungeon event, as a TiTs backer. Nor is it listed on the wiki for Tessa.
I have so much progress on my save, I do not want to mess it up by tampering with flags.
need more sneks though
nevermind I think i found it. oof
the crew toy option and new texas encounter is rly nice
Just out of curiosity, has Flurry’s new bust been added to the game?
Not yet. It’s still in the queue of finished busts waiting to be implemented in the game.
Should be hotfixing out now.
Could have already missed it or if it’s been commented before, but I wonder if you and the team plan to add a Slyveren TF sometime?
There is a community member who is working on one, in theory, so it’s possible we may see a slyveren tf before too long
That’d be nice. I’ve been hoping that a full snake tf gets implemented for sometime now, especially a Slyveren one.
yaasss queen
I see snake, I breed.
we going to be able to get Tess and sibs reunited?
As of this public release, no – there’s no mention of the connection between Blue Star and Tessa as discovered in the Christmas Vacation quest.
I think it’s ripe for exploration – Tessa talking to Blue, finding out what her father was like, etc.
Now it’s just up to somebody to pay for that content to be written.
also the connection from just talking to Blue about family
what crew member have interactions >?
Ramis, Dizzy, Syri, Eitan, Paige, Olympia, Anno, and Pippa. Though, now that the core of the feature is in-game, anybody is free to write some interactions for various other crewmates
Dizzy is a crew member?
ya if you buy here you can get her on your ship, in the nursery, or with her daughter and you can switch it at anytime with her
MORE SNEK!
I see that file name for Ahsha’s image. Very clever.
is olympia’s scene crew toy scene in and where does it trigger saw most except hers
Utility Room
very much appreciated heres to hope shekka and amber join the character pool
There’s no utility room on the Sidewinder. I tried Engineering and Storage but she doesn’t seem to be there.
which crew members use the “toy” flag? are they brand new scenes?
Trying to find Crew Toy scene for Dizzy and Olympia, need help please. Thank you.
Dizzy has ‘bedroom’ and ‘navigation’ room, Olympia has ‘Utility’ room
What room is the utility room? There’s no room called that on my ship.
Apparently it hasn’t been hooked up yet. Coders are on it for an eventual hotfix
Also, found Dizzy’s scene of the navigation/cockpit room. But it procs the bedroom scene.
Where does one even find the toy option?
It should be at the Crew area.
hopefully this snake lady will have more interactions cause the end of the dungeon, am backer so i have done it already, i felt…very conflicted to say the least. that and the ending was….strange is what i will put it. Bar that, the dungeon was a awesome, (Legit some of the stuff in text was legitimately terrifying) dungeon and I hope to see more of the snake lady involved. in…evolving terms hopefully?
The crew toy option sounds pretty exciting! Thank you for your hard work! <3
How do you tag yourself as the Crew Toy?
Go to the tile with your ship crew icon, choose ‘Ship toy’
Ah I found the problem. You need one of the crew who would use you like a toy to have the option in the first place.
anyone know how to trigger crew toy with eitan? it said hes eligable
so far i can only trigger anno and syri
shower for eitan, not sure on other spot but shower for sure
There’s also a scene that starts while flying between planets
Scenes I know of:
Etain: Sleep, Shower, and when piloting scenes
Anno: Crew room tile
Syri: Crew room tile, Sleep
Olympia: Utility Room
Paige: Piloting
whats the utility room tho? what is it called on the sidewinder?
Dont think the Olympia Crew toy scene works, spammed going into every room on the ship and it doesnt trigger. Done all the other crew members that i have with crew toy option available too.
i have updated Captain Steele’s wiki page with the crew toy interactions. will be updating individual crew members as well when i have the chance
Spoiler Heads Up
Dungeon is sweet, wondering 3 things before I start jumping back and combing through everything to try and see if there’s something else I missed.
1. Is there a way to resist Ahsha at the beginning when she tries to mind sway you into telling her about Tessa’s and yours relationship? Maxxed Willpower left the option gray
2. Does she always escape at the end or is there a way to ensure she’s there for the moment when you go back for her?
3. Is the station exploding inevitable? Or is there a way to keep it still floating about w/ the boss alive?
You need to harden Steele against psychic attack – there are certain armors that grant a boost. And make sure Steele isn’t lustful, either.
Gotcha, assuming this just applies for 1. yeah?
Yes, only item 1. In fact, I tried running through with psionic resistance at 50%, and other than the first scene I could see no difference – the later scene played out just the same.
Ever get an answer to 2 and 3. Cause that last section with all the work you need to see the true ending and then everything stays the same as always been weird to me. Also the second one, i agree, i was wondering how that works or if i missed something.
How can i start Tessa’s second Mission?
I really liked the Tessa quest – that’s the sort of thing I really missed from the old days. Exploring, puzzle solving, not too dommy, not too subby, not too hyper.
It’s a same the two villeins cannot impregnate Steele, but….
Now, if only this added an interaction to Blue Love Star, about what Steele finds out in her and Tessa’s expansion, that would really be cool.
Did the Edan fix go in yet? The whole being to feminine with different bits thing.
Liking the Crew Toy stuff so far, and I see from other comments that Olympia’s is bugged. I’m guessing the utility room is the Engineering room, where you do the installations? Anyway, I’m having trouble finding Sieg’s scene. Haven’t seen anyone else comment on it so I’m afraid I’m just missing something really obvious or have been very unlucky in not having it trigger :v
Also, when first choosing the crew toy option, the “Maybe Not” button doesn’t work. You have to accept being a CT then revert it.
you’re not the only one, I couldn’t manage to get Domwulfe either
There’s a bit of an inconsistency between TiTS lore and the Tessa quest: the station is stated to be able to “jump” – the implication being that this is some form of FTL that would relocate the station. It is also stated that the station is very large; the implication being it’s too big for a Warp Gate.
However, the universe mechanics described in the Codex and on the Wiki in real life pretty much state that the ONLY way matter can traverse a space-like interval is the Warp Gates – that no other FTL exists.
(Note: this inconsistency also appears in some of Verusha’s comments, where she mentions FTL in a way that does not seem to be the Warp Gates.)
I think i might be dumb, can i get a hint for the password in the tessa dungeon, i for the life of me can’t figure it out
People often write passwords on or near terminals rather than remembering them.
I didnt clarify which, but does your hint refer to the terminal with the search and check buttons near Ahsha or the terminal in the DJ booth
Wait NVM… I’m dumb i figured it out thanks
Being “used as the crews toy” almost makes me want to re-download TiTS again. Time to be a femmy catboi addicted to Ardia & her family and used by (most of) the crew.
nice work!
I seem to be softlocked right after meeting the Heiress, and I’d like some help, if possible.
(SPOILERS)
I’ve found the positive pregnancy test, but Chiaki just refuses to say anything when I confront her. I’ve combed literally every tile available to me, and nothing changes, nor can I find Tessa or Ahsha anywhere. What am I supposed to do next? Nobody seems to have a key for Chiaki’s chain, the mechanics closet has nothing to cut the chain with, etc.
If it makes a difference, I have Downloaded but not Purged the Blackmail database, and I did so before waking Chiaki up.
Did you go back down in the hidden elevator, and look around?
Amending my previous reply – if you had checked the closet that would imply you did go down the hidden elevator. BUT – did you search all the other levels, or did you go straight to the closet?
What is the “Celise Panty Email” that is mentioned in the change log?
one of the oldest bits of mail in the game. one of two emails she sends you as crew, previously it was just describing that she sent you a pic of her with panties on her head
I’m having a problem with Tessa and Kiro. To advance Tessa’s story, I need to either grow tits or give her some wine. To give her some wine, I need to have beaten Kiro in a drink off, which I never happened to do. I’ve recruited (bimbo) Kiro, however, and the drink off isn’t an option when she’s a crewmember. So to drink together, I need to kick her from the crew. Doing so assures me that this is temporary, and that I can re-recruit her from any bar. I can now drink with her, but there’s no apparent option to re-recruit her. The only possibility is the Talk option, which is greyed out, and would presumably be from the old Kally storyline which I have completed.
Are backer builds accessible on mobile devices? My computer is kaput, so until I can afford a new one, I can only play on my iPhone.
How do you start Tessa’s quest?
I’ve got a second problem now, that can only be solved here.
