Howdie howdie howdie! I hope our patch this week finds you all hale, hearty, and hard-on’d.
Personally I didn’t get a ton of writing or coding this week – but I did break out a potential ability & perk list for a psychic “kineticist” class to be added to the game, from level 2-12. The big focus for me was giving it a unique class identity from the others that really leans into “magic user class” tropes while still holding onto the sci-fantasy, technological bent that the TiTS universe has. To that end, it’s going to be a class that favors more activated abilities than its peers and does not get any of the usual “flurry attack” or “second attack” perks. Instead you might find yourself leaning more into abilities that debuffing the enemy while causing damage, hastening yourself, or even raining down psychic blows on a foe while disarmed. You’ll leach your foes’ body heat, dealing cold damage to restore your own energy. You’ll choose between tanking with constantly regenerating shields or mercenary-tier HP that heals every time you cast a spell.
Focusing on telekinesis was a necessary choice to maintain cohesion of the game world and the existing events and storylines – a Steele that can reach into other’s minds at will and exert his own mental pressure on other NPCs requires a game bespoke tailored to that sort of experience – something we aren’t doing.
I hope the eventual result will satisfy in the crunchy RPG turn-based sense and fun RP sense of being a psychokinetic space-monk killing machine… but first I have a lot of feedback to address from the team after my presentation yesterday, implimentation, and play-testing.
TL;DR: Fen specced out the first draft for psychic class abilities (COMING SOON ™), also we have some new content in this patch below!

I am so happy to hear about the Kineticist! Been wanting to play a psychic Steele for years now
Well I for one am going to play the heck out of the new class when it comes out. After all who wouldn’t wanna smack enemies around with their mind?!
Will Roo ever be fully ported over from ActionScript – with all the interactions, the stripping, the sex?
She is, it’s just awkward since you can play multiple hands consecutively. She doesn’t strip until you back out. It’s possible to unlock all the strip scenes at once with a big enough bet, but you have to win more hands and back out after each one for each layer.
Well, I beat her 10 to 4, and when I backed out, nothing.
What was your Win Streak? That’s what matters. As long as the Win Streak is above the threshold, she advances a stage.
Also, the Custom Bet box before choosing Roo doesn’t count. If you want to make a Custom Bet, you have to type it in after.
I just tried this with the current hotfix and it is working as you say. It’s a bit different from how it used to work, and personally I preferred the way it used to work, but at least the content is there.
So I was holding it wrong, mea culpa. Thanks.
Bug in Cherry: After selecting “In Her”, the button is replaced by “Stay”, but the “On Her” button remains.
Thanks, fixed for next.
That’s nice and all, but to be honest the thing I’d like to see most is having the gestation alteration from the small blue eggs adjusted to a flat 6 hour reduction instead of the percentage-based one it currently works on. It takes an agonizingly long time to reduce gestation time at present for those who don’t want to have a huge days count but want to produce lots of kids.
Two things strike me about Eloise – first, as a nanotechnologist, you’d think she’d geek right out about Steele’s Grey Goo Armor. Second, when she flies Steele off, what if Steele has perfectly good wings already? Wouldn’t it make more sense for Steele to also want to flex a wing?
Also, a common bug in Eloise’s oral content – it keeps mixing up which penis it’s supposed to be using. Half the time it’s using the description for index 0, half the time the descriptions for the selected index.
Also, possible spelling error in Eloise:
” into a Bubble Body ”
Should that be Bubble Buddy?
And, perhaps, you might find another onomatopoeic than “Pop” – it gets a bit wearing when it’s repeated multiple times per paragraph.
The Shaman is still indicating that my Steele is too well endowed. At 11″, 13″, 36″ and 72″, and given the descriptions in the fist her text, I’d think at least 2 of the options on hand should suffice. If nothing else, there’s Steele’s taildicks as well.
It should be accepting any dick under 3 feet. Could you post your save on the forum?
Penny pump-king quest is also bugged. when you try to find the pumpking you encounter a critical error that says female zil tried to equip an item in first slot without removing one that’s there already.
Are you sure you are on latest? That sounds like something we just fixed this patch.
Unfortunately, I don’t have an email the forum will allow me to register under.
To clarify – the email used for Patreon and for here is not accepted by the forum – I get told I’m banned for spamming, which I could never have done since I can never register.
Can’t you register a burner account? Without your savefile it will be difficult to get to the bottom of this.
If you have a good suggestion for a place to set such an account up I’d be happy to do so.
OK, I managed to find an email it would accept. Save posted.
Remember back on 0.1.18 or close when it was heavily implied intelligence would help you if you became a psi user?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
It’s finally here…
Does this update include the futa space orc?
Yay! Finally a combat use for Willpower build.
Also, if you are adding new stuff, any chance you’ll add Laquine to the starting race selection?
So old Penny’s roleplay scene got replaced?
hello, I write through a translator, do not be offended)
If we get the Psychic Steel, will it be possible to add additional scenes with the ability to read the surface thoughts of an NPC (not to influence them, but to read?) and additional scenes with other psionics.
and yes, I didn’t understand a little through the translator, but it turns out we will have level 1 of 3 standard classes and from 2 we will be able to go to a psionicist or will there be a new main 4th class of a psychic?
Fen: “Psychic Steele class”.
*M. Bison YES! YES!”
Trials is not starting from the executable. Any way to fix this?
Hm, I’m a bit disappointed with Eloise. Don’t get me wrong, fantastic writing and I like the character. But me being me and liking hyper and cum inflation, was sad not to see it…unless I’m missing something. She even talked about both, so I thought there’d at least be some sort of bit about either.
Mind you, just personal opinion.
Oh neat, I actually accidentally deleted one of my characters and haven’t gotten around to remaking him. He would incidentally make a much better psion than tech specialist. So I think I’ll continue to wait a bit and dive into the class with him. Looking forward to it.
I’ve been following the game since the very first public release, and there are no words for how unbelievably hyped I am that the kineticist is coming! I’ve been wanting to play with psionics since they were first mentioned in the game. Very much looking forward to it, and happy I stuck with the game all these years!
