Most of my time over the last week was eaten up by finally getting my hands into the race-determination code and reworking it extensively from the old system. The old way presented a few weird and troublesome nested conditions in order to achieve a couple of potential results from the system and it was proving ever more difficult for people to navigate the requirements in a satisfactory way to say nothing of how annoying it was becoming to add new possibilities into the mix.
The new way of doing things is a lot flatter, but it’s based on the same underlying requirements of the old way – which is a long winded way for me to say that this will probably need a lot of tweaking going forward to file off all of the edge-cases that have been left over. There’s been three core changes that I’ve made to the old requirements, which in some cases may have left certain score-identifiers very unspecific:
Score penalties are mostly gone
Where possible I’ve tried to remove specific genitalia requirements (because it was easier than ensuring the requirements were present and appropriate for all score functions)
Nested type-becomes-type tests are gone
With all the saves that I have, the results have proven to be pretty on the nose for what I expect but I didn’t want to get deep into the mines on trying to blindly fumble through messing with the existing requirements before I got some feedback from people with more esoteric player data… so it’s time to update and wait for the probable pile of bug reports.
Apologies for no new backer content this week, but I haven’t had the time to get into the backlog and get something implemented with all the time spent on trying things with the new race-score system.
TiTS 0.9.015:
- Public: Edan preg is now public.
- Player races are now determined by a new system. (Gedan)
- Jasvalla has an updated intro sequence that allows her activation to be avoided. There is also a cheat to reset her interactions back into this state for people that have already engaged with her. (Nonesuch, Fenoxo & lowercase_donkey)
- Disarming Jasvalla stops her from using her slut ray. (Gedan)
- Mitch has questlog entries. (lowercase_donkey)
- A crash during KaraQuest2 when moving the players ship has been resolved. (lowercase_donkey)
- Codex formatting has been updated in a bunch more places. (Jacques00)
- Yammi’s food menu now supports being broken up to not overflow the 15 buttons. (Gedan)
- The Rotate Minigame should now properly support limited moves and total failure attempts. (Gedan)
- A few items that only make sense to be purchased one-at-a-time have had purchase limits applied. (lowercase_donkey)
- Perdita should now only show stories you do not already own. (lowercase_donkey)
- The Punk SpecOps should no longer crash when submitting to them without entering combat. (Gedan)
- Fixed an instance of an undefined function being shoved into the event queue. (Gedan)
- Cocksocks and cockrings are now presented on the “Your Piercings” inventory tab, allowing them to be interacted with and removed. (Gedan)
- Hardlight dongs should no longer impregnate Haley (DrunkZombie)
- It should now be possible to correctly delete autosave slots. (Gedan)
- The persistent storage popup has been removed entirely. This proved to be unwieldy to properly manage under certain browsers because of how they grant the persistent storage permission. (Gedan)
is the love starz expac public as well?
It would say so if it was
I started a new game and the rotate minigame now limits only 1 move. Does this happen to every minigame?
So the rotate minigame does support limited moves and such but uh
the ones on the first station have 0 moves total so if you touch any of them they crash instantly and say you have -1 moves left
The limited moves only gives you zero moves.
CIRCUIT SYSTEM minigame in tutorial broken. It gives you ONLY one turn (one turn of dynamic node) and it is impossible to bypass this minigame, those it is impossible finish tutorial…
Hey, is there some problem with the mobile/android version of TITS, I can only get the Downloader for the legacy at 8.160 nothing for the new stuff? Is this an oversight or something?
How do I get past the rerouting minigame in first-14 It keeps failing me after one action
Yep. The minigame is totaly busted now.. One action and then over..
Sometimes you just gota take some time to wrangle code, gl!
Just took a quick look at the race score and it looks odd. My character still counts as red myr despite the only characteristics being antenna and chitin. Currently have Redmyr: 83.33%, 13/16, Janeria: 70%, 11/16, Myr: 66.67%, 10/16, Galotian: 33.33%, 5/16 and a long list of others.
I feel that if there are multiple races over 50-60% it should just say hybrid rather than defaulting to the highest, or their might be some issues with myr flags in general.
For race determination perhaps a good idea might be to give the player some direct input into their racial identity.
Similarly to how the PC can manually select gender overrides that supercede their score / part configuration based pronouns.
If a complete racial identity override is too much perhaps it could balanced as the player being able to manually select 1 of multiple potential racial identities. And then rather than immediately registering you as a member it could bump your racial score by a certain amount for as long as you keep that race manually selected.
That is one of the long term solutions that was discussed, letting the player pick from the races listed to be the one they want to count as.
I don’t know if that is what will implemented in the end but I personally like it.
Yeah I second this. Being able to select among race option above some threshold (>50% for example) would neatly solve most of the edge cases.
Second. After the update it seems that amazon is overriding everything else despite the fact that all my character’s physical features are gryvain.
Are you able to encounter Jasvalla again after beating her every time?
Woohoo! My race isn’t considered alien hybrid anymore!
So while you did revamp Yammi’s food menu, whenever I try to access the menu it crashes with a message saying “Button for ‘Hot Honey Ham’ had an undefined function param.” This only affects a different character’s save while my main one’s having no issue.
Don’t know if it was fixed or not but I ran into a bug before where if you went into the menu and back into the game while in the Frostwyrm den, you won’t be able to interact with anything and are softlocked there.
Currently a softlock with the Sister3Some with Kiro and Kally, during the walk of shame. It also Seems clicking the pervious page button sends you to your own ship but still locked into the walk of shame page. (this is the download version if that changes anything)
I have a complain about Ardia’s expansion. I freed both groups of slaves in Zheng Shi, defeated Agrosh, and yet I can’t recruit her. Does anyone know if there’s something missing? If there’s not, then you need to fix it quickly.
Hey! Never mind! I just found the solution! I was supposed to be in the square near the place where I met Tivf, from there I’ll get the option to free the slaves and then I finally have the option to recruit Ardia.
Is there an update for Android yet? I don’t have a laptop or a computer and I really would like to play the update too 🙁
I’ve got a question: What traits determine an “Amazoness”? I was trying to be “Tavira, but stronger” but my amazon score is twice that of both my plant and nyrea scores somehow. Granted I DID chug a fuck ton of futazona but I don’t know what secures the race exactly.
Also, if I’ve got Amazon Endurance/Snu Snu Queen, I think it’d be cool if the “Fuck Zil” scene with the Zil in Penny’s office ended differently. I basically get more stamina from sex, right? What if Penny had to snap the PC out of some sort of sexual “Red Mist” where they come to looking at a Zil with a battered pelvis and another looking like they aren’t sure if they’ve seen god or the devil.
I think the kui-tan scores are kind of borked when my half kui-tan character that has both kui-tan arms and legs gets counted as a full kui-tan. It just doesn’t seem right when someone like Chrissy, who has a similar appearance to my character gets counted as a half kui-tan whilst mine doesn’t.
Okay, I’ve also just created a new Half kui-tan pc and found out that even a new character has enough kui-tan score to be labeled as a full one without any mods. So yeah, there’s definitely something wrong with the kui-tan racial scores. I hope that’s helpful.
HI!
I cant seem to surrender to Jasvalla before the fight…
does anyone know why that could be/have a fix for me?
Thank you!
sorry been a away from the games for a long while. Is the download for TiTs on android done for?
I had Mitch’s Condition talk before this and I’m not seeing any questlog entries for him.
I do have to wonder, I haven’t played this game since a few years ago, is the endgame finally in development? Please tell us that the Rival gets his/her own version of a bad end.
What is the cheat to reset Jasvalla? I can’t strap her to the front end of my ship’s guns, so resetting her interactions will have to do. If my tone seems harsh, it’s because despite being level 10 I’ve spent hours reloading save files just to (barely) beat her once. I would like to play the game without needing to worry about her ambushing me.
Nevermind, I found out on my own that you could talk to Penny about Jasvalla without needing to have been defeated and drugged, and managed to beat her again so that Penny could have her arrested. It might be a good idea to include that on Jasvalla’s wiki page, as it is sorely lacking in information at the moment.
