UPDATE: Turns out I didn’t actually set the feature flag to enable the control overlay in release builds. Oops!
Jacques and I spent a lot of time prototyping and refining a better means of handling input on smaller touch-screen devices over the last 2 weeks; it’s why we didn’t patch last week. I’ve poured all my energy into cooking up potentials and testing them on actual devices to get incrementally closer to a better solution than we had, and Jacques has been an absolute monster for cleaning up my prototype efforts and turning them into something that doesn’t make me want to scoop my eyeballs out.
We ultimately landed on two potentials; an overlay of “fake” buttons that looks a bit like a traditional game controller D-Pad, and something much more abstract that would just sit over top of the big rolled out version of the map. They both have their upsides and downsides, and ultimately we’ve put all our energy into the control overlay as our primary option.
Essentially, the sidebar is simply too small to work on touch-screen devices with smaller resolutions, so after a bunch of back and forth and testing, we’ve implemented a slightly different layout for the sidebar that is only active on small touch-screen devices. Right now, this is any device that reports it is an iPhone or Android device, and has a screen resolution below 400 pixels in either direction. This seemed to be a decent tipping point between the devices I had to hand, where I had no problems using the new UI on a mid-size Android tablet, but struggled a lot on a small iPhone SE 2nd Gen. As part of making the layout different to have larger buttons, we had to cut the smaller minimap in this mode entirely, which means the only option on smaller screen devices is going to be the big, rolled out minimap going forward.
To facilitiate this, we designed the control overlay to sit reasonably well around the active room in the big minimap, and then made a bunch of attempts to make it easy to switch between minimap and bust viewer. As a one-time deal, loading older saves into this version will forcibly flip a bunch of related settings to make the game appear as we have intended this work to present itself with a fresh character; making the big minimap rollout happen by default mostly, and enabling the control overlay option by default when the Small Device test passes. These settings should only flip on older saves, so if you really do not like or need the control overlay, you can turn it off in the control options, and instead use larger buttons in the sidebar for movement.
We think this is the best hybrid between having a consistent UI across all devices, and still being easily usable on devices that were having issues with how small a lot of important controls were. We’re gonna wait for feedback on this before we decide if we should implement any other options like the quadrant-based navigation.
TiTS 0.9.044 Changelog:
- Fixed NOT ACTUALLY SETTING THE FEATURE FLAG for the control overlay, so it’s actually present in release builds. (Gedan, weeping)
- Fixed a room on the top floor of Zheng Shi that linked to The Void. (Fenoxo)
- Fixed lust values not displaying properly via outputDamage(). (Jacques)
- Fixed missing tooltips for a porn button. (Jacques)
- Fixed a possible means of squeezing past SmallDeviceMode with weird userAgents. (Gedan)
- Fixed a variety of UI elements displaying too early when in character creation. (Jacques)
- Fixed Geoff/Arties bust causing crashes. (Gedan & Jacques)
- Fixed another means that the new layout couldn’t force itself into place on devices that require it. (Jacques)
TiTS 0.9.043 Changelog:
- PUBLIC: A new ship item has been added; the Holo Mirror system. For now it’s available from Synphia on Uveto. This once-per combat gadget creates 1-3 holographic duplicates of your vessel to soak up enemy attacks. The number of duplicates is based on your ship’s system’s score, making it basically useless to potentially a life-saver depending on your loadout.. (Fenoxo)
- BACKERS: A Cyber Punk-modded Clydesdale K7 I’ve been calling the Cyberdale. Guess what? It uses the holographic duplicate system! She’ll surrender if you pop her mirrored images and drop her shields, but you can always ignore them to take out her armor. Comes with two new victory sex scenes! (This encounter requires Zheng Shi’s coordinates to be unlocked in order to occur.) (Fenoxo)
- PUBLIC: Added a new extended worship bad end event for Lund, unlocked after you perform the existing worship event at least once (William & Gedan)
- Added an image viewer modal to give a simple popover for viewing images. (Jacques)
- Added the text-embedded percentage bar to the Fall of the Phoenix events. (Jacques)
- Added the ability for the internal race scoring functions to return partial score checks, allowing for scaling tests rather than mutually exclusive independant tests. (Gedan)
- Added a Compare toggle to the ship inspect screen. (Jacques)
- Added better support for multiple busts to the image viewer. (Jacques)
- Added a new option that displays the underlying raw and overlaid modification values for stats in the stat bars. (Jacques)
- Added default shapes for the foreground bust shapes to hand with starting animation transitions in the generated bust viewer. (Jacques)
- Added a button overlay that can overlap portions of the UI to provide a more capable input environment on small touch screen devices. This overlay is positioned and sized to overlap the big, rolled out view of the map. This overlay is only enabled automatically on small touch-screen devices, but can be enabled or disabled manually in the control options. (Jacques & Gedan)
- Added a slightly different secondary layout for the sidebar with slightly larger buttons, organized differently. Unfortunately the small map view had to be sacrficied for us to fit this in. This layout is only intended to be active on small device screens. (Jacques & Gedan)
- Added a subroutine specifically for ship combat AI to use misc. gadgets. Previously there was only offensive and healing gadget routines. (Fenoxo)
- Fixed some images not being hidden with image displays are disabled in options. (Jacques)
- Fixed more nipple length value issues in the appearance screen. (Jacques)
- Fixed some other potential rounding issues with other values in the appearance screen. (Jacques)
- Fixed Decoration type items not being considered as part of the Valuable category. (Jacques)
- Fixed Myr Venom not working on the Kui-Tan boss as part of Malai Quest. (Jacques)
- Fixed Gryvain scoring to remove some issues with mutually exclusive point grants. (Gedan)
- Fixed the Half-race scoring boundaries relating to Gryvain, so new PCs that pick the Gryvain option should always start off as half-gryvain as intended. (Gedan)
- Fixed the isHuman() test to use a comparitive score rather than an arbitrary boundary. (Gedan)
- Fixed a crash in KaraQuest2 when leaving her up on the sniper tower. (Gedan)
- Fixed some crashes with hasSheath(). (Gedan)
- Fixed an incorrect parser tag that was querying the player instead of an enemy jumper. (Gedan)
- Fixed pressAcceptCancel() crashing via unsafely accessing button labels when searching for a potential button to activate. (Gedan)
- Fixed Feline score not querying for the presence of a genital before trying to score its type. (Gedan)
- Fixed Demon score referencing a type that isn’t nominally available as part of Demon TFs, an incorrect leg type/hooves description, and added a tongue type test that is part of the Demon TFs. (Gedan)
- Fixed Kitsune using a capacity test and reorganizined the tail scoring to be based around a scaling test rather than three different tail count tests, not all of which were scorable at the same time thus effectively reducing the “max” score but not properly representing this. (Gedan)
- Fixed Lacquine race scoring for a 2nd breast row, as this was cut early on in the development of the TF even though placeholder code existed for it. (Gedan)
- Fixed isMilkTank() not testing for the Mega Milk perk as it probably should do. (Gedan)
- Fixed some empty strings that may have worked into orgasm records. (lowercase_donkey)
- Fixed Ardia’s bustString generator not representing some certain combinations of factors that don’t exist, allowing them to fall back to a bust that does exist and fits themeatically with a subset of those factors. (Gedan)
- Fixed a broken parser call in radglow content. (lowercase_donkey)
- Fixed an incorrect gate for a Verusha rut scene. (DrunkZombie)
- Fixed Slavebreaker lust attack to actually hit Steele rather than itself. (DrunkZombie)
- Fixed some incorrect tests looking for half-races and morphs because of special cases that don’t have “half-” as the actual prefix or morph as the postfix. (Jacques)
- Fixed pregnancy stats not showing under medical. (Jacques)
- Fixed the inconsistecy in TouchTooltipTouchActivate mode, where it was impossible to know if a button had a tooltip and would immediately activate it. Now, all buttons have a placeholder tooltip when this mode is active, stating that there is no
spoon tooltip available, stopping the button from instantly activating. (Gedan) - Fixed the fact that the center room in the big minimap view wasn’t actually centered. This is actually the most important change in this update. (Gedan)
- Fixed a reversed test for Gel Zon in some stormguard content. (lowercase_donkey)
- Fixed Urbolgs combat name. (lowercase_donkey)
- Fixed UI breaking when using overly large font sizes. (Jacques)
- Fixed a bunch of UI elements not properly respecting or ignoring font size settings. (Jacques)
- Fixed the content pane expanding larger than intended. (Jacques)
- Fixed the positioning of the Fullscreen and Panic buttons on the main menu, so that they won’t be overlapped by browser elements on certain devices. (Jacques)
- Fixed some issues with table generation. (Jacques)
- Fixed parser plurality not being wired up properly, allowing the [s] and [p] tags to finally function as intended. (Gedan)
- Fixed CG images being effected by font size settings. (Jacques)
- Fixed a bunch of inconsistencies with image manifest titles. (Jacques)
- Fixed typos, a whole lot, again. (Jacques, Gedan, lowercase_donkey, DrunkZombie)
- Fixed ship combat using the same XP calculations as ground combat. Ship combat no longer automatically rewards normalXP() regardless of what is set in the ship file. If an XP value is set on the ship file (that isn’t 0), it should be respected. Holographic duplicates are worth 1 XP, so they’re not ENTIRELY worthless. (Fenoxo)
- Fixed shield vampire output formatting to be more easily parsed. (Fenoxo)

Forgot to log in when I originally wrote this, but it doesn’t look like the comment went through, so here’s a second attempt:
I think you guys might have the racial score for cowgirls too low. Even with cow ears, tail, horns, and tongue, it registers Captain Steele as a human. For all intents and purposes, the only cowgirl in the game would be Cynthia.
The only way to achieve the score of cowgirl is to have all the features I mentioned in addition to having featured/gooey/tentacle hair and a set of wings. It just seems a bit odd. I am looking forward to this updates content, though! Y’all do good work!
There are two Cow-Girls listed. One is 10 points, the other is 16. Is one a subset of the other? They have a huge amount of overlap.
I think part of the issue is the comparisons work on percents. With so many points, it’s hard to have a higher percent than the other races. In your case, the extra parts are probably invalidating other races, pushing Cow-Girl above them.
Doing some more investigating, part of the problem might be Legs. 3 separate checks: Bovine, Digitigrade & Hooves, which inflates the point count. Since there’s no way I know of to get Bovine without Digitigrade & Hooves, they don’t need to be separate. Alternately, you might just check for Hooves, if you want Deer, Equine and Goat to count.
Face is also a double check, for some reason (Bovine & Bovine, Muzzled). Both Mino Charge and Holstaria add Muzzled.
If Face & Legs were 1 point each, you’d have 5 of 7 instead of 5 of 10 (assuming Human Arms).
What planet does the cyber dale encounter occure on?
Pretty sure it happens out in space bud
It’s a spaceship. So spaceship travel
Found it while traveling from phaedra II to Myrellion. Good luck getting this encounter to trigger though, space battles are rare enough as it is, had about 8 encounters with both the other two before this one popped.
Oof! The way I programmed it, she should be 50% of the spaceship encounters once she unlocks (once Zheng is unlocked).
Is there a cool-down on space encounters? I ran into the new encounter once, then I got no space encounters.
It might be nice to have a “Hey Paige, let’s go looking for trouble” option.
So many fixes! Praise be the code monkey gods
I don’t seem to have any controls on android
Same
Looking into it. I tried to set things up so that things would flip settings automatically on first load of a save from earlier versions to something that would befitting of what we’re doing, but it seems there might be a gap in there.
It would help if either/both of you could post bug reports in the forums with saves, rough details on the specific devices etc.
Will we ever be getting a ‘gray goo’ TF for slime pc’s?
When I try to fight in a spaceship battle it just recharges my energy instead of firing the weapons.
Ok, so it seems the weapons I had on my ship from the Flash version just don’t work. The Sledgehammer I was using had a thermal cannon and a missile bay, but when it got imported to Java the thermal cannon disappeared and the missile bay that was still installed wouldn’t fire.
If you can, post that original Flash save on the forums as a bug and I’ll try and look into it soon.
Is there a way to get the legacy controls on the android version back?
I have a Pixel 6a, which has a 2400 x 1080 pixel screen in landscape mode, and with this latest update I tried turning on the new control overlay option manually (because the sidebar buttons have been tiny on my phone since the update which rolled out the new sidebar). I found the size of the sidebar buttons with the control overlay enabled pleasing, but I noticed two issues:
1. The movement buttons are missing, or at least, I can’t see them anywhere.
2. There’s no button to switch the map between large and small mode, and tapping on the empty part of the map doesn’t do it anymore (but that was always annoying because I’d do it by accident). It *is* possible to switch it with control overlay disabled, and then enable it – it does follow your preference still.
With the control overly enabled, much like the regular control layout, there should be four buttons that are always visible: the in/up and out/down buttons for room navigation, and the navigation controls toggle and the show map/map zoom toggle.
1. If the directional navigation controls are invisible, tapping the navigation controls toggle button should bring them back up (this toggle is primarily for convenience, like if the player is using different navigation controls or just doesn’t want the screen too cluttered). Tapping it again should make the directional buttons disappear again.
2. The button in place of the map zoom in/out toggle will change to map show/hide toggle when the control overlay is enabled (and when the map is hidden entirely). This is because the side bar is lacking the real estate to display the map with the full stats and status effects on display. If there is a great need for it by the player base, I may gut parts of the side bar to re-fit the collapsed minimap, but this will only be for certain situations (basically only when the player is on the navigation/text screen and nowhere else). Otherwise, with such a small screen area, the recommended way to play is with the map rolled out.
Thanks for the input and I hope this helps.
Can I ask if there’s a specific reason for getting rid of the old style of navigation buttons? They worked perfectly fine, and every implementation since has seemed flawed by comparison. Putting the overlay on top of the giant map just makes it more difficult to look at the map and navigate at the same time, while also eating into valuable main text display space. I’d be perfectly fine with the new UI if only there was an option to keep the old style navigation buttons, and maybe if the “small” map was a bit bigger, as right now it feels like you have to choose between “too small to use” and “unnecessarily big” map sizes.
Also, thinking about it,the main issue people seemed to have with the old UI was that you couldn’t see player HP/lust and the map at the same time. The physique and other stats don’t necessarily need to also be up there, they just make the sidebar even more cramped. That extra space could be better used making the map a bit bigger while still allowing for the important Health/lust/energy/shield values to be displayed.
This is actually a fantastic idea
Not being able to see Physique/Aim, et al. makes Stat training a lot more annoying.
If real estate is an issue, I’d suggest making them toggle with HP/Shields, because you typically don’t need to see both sets at the same time (hostile areas/combat vs Stat training in town).
Like you mentioned, it was primarily due to not having all of the other gameplay stats readily available to the player, causing confusion and inconvenience. I agree that the current layout might not be ideal for every player and that some prefer the original. All I can say for the moment is to give it some time to adjust to.
Keep in mind that the control layout is still a very iterative process at this time. We may change and adjust as we get more feedback. We may also be developing other alternative control schemes/layouts as well (as mentioned in Gedan’s post above). The main goal is to accommodate as many devices as we possibly can and not break the established UI too much to make that happen.
Ah, i was hoping there would be the Tarratch slavers on M’henga would be made public at last.
Do we have an ETA for the Mitch expansion?
would it be possible to have xenogen stores sell versions transformatives that dont cause taint after you give the normal ones to kimber
With the Klydesdale it keeps saying my character has no genitals. Other scenes for other characters still work fine.
I tried registering on the forums but was left in “waiting for approval” hell until simply being banned for “spam”. I’ve never even posted on the forums! Or even gotten the *chance* to! I presume it has to do with overzealous culling of non-gmail email addresses. (Have encountered the same thing trying to post here, too.)
“You have been banned for the following reason: Spam. Please contact the administrator if this was done in error.. ” I could find no way to contact an admin via forums or email; in fact, I couldn’t even *log out* to actually view the forums as a guest (it just gives a “been banned” popup when trying to click on username). Please help! I just wanted to be able to submit bug reports someday!
(Sorry for the off-topic comment, but I could not find any other way to ‘contact an admin’ to resolve this. No form, no email, no internal-message, just nothing.)

I’m just wondering how the backer/public builds work. I’m just kind of confused as to when previous backer features become public.
Why does all the information have to be in one sidebar?
Where can I find lund?
Lund can be found in Korg’ii Hold, Uveto, if you don’t tell him to Fuck Off when you first meet him. If you tell him to Fuck Off, he can be a combat encounter outside. I don’t think you can access the new scene this way.
Korg’ii Hold can only be entered if you saved Ula, who has a chance of spawning whenever you enter a cave. If you met her but didn’t save her in time, you’ll have to load a backup save or save edit.
ok, so the sex scene for the cyber punk ship isn’t activating, like it says i don’t have a penis and i know my character definitely does! So yea, there’s that to report.
Is there something wrong with the fertility/virility system? It feels like higher percentages don’t actually affect outcomes as much as they should. For example, my Steele was having trouble impregnating Aina and becoming pregnant themself despite having 2,000% fertility and virility. I noticed this on version 0.9.042 but it’s still like this in 0.9.044. Also, I thought higher percentages affect how many children per pregnancy that the pc would have i.e. A steele with 100% fertility would have 4 venus pitchers versus a Steele with 1000% fertility having 16 max. Of course this specific situation is a comparison from the flash version to the java script one so maybe harder limits on number of children were implemented.
Is there any plans for the Han So bead yet?
Something I’ve noticed about the game is that the fertility/virility percentages aren’t nearly as effective as they were in the flash version. What I mean by this is that at 2,000% in both stats there is still no guaranteed impregnation and the children count is about the same across the entire spectrum of percentages. I’m assuming the child count thing is the result of hardcoded limits that weren’t there in the flash version, but why is pregnancy chance still so low (+/- 33% ) despite having such high fertility/virility? I tried commenting this before but I didn’t put in the right name and email, but it doesn’t seem like they went through.
