Others Trials in Tainted Space [v0.9.116] [Fenoxo]

[thecatcameback]

So, what am I supposed to get out of the ant world. War is hell and makes everyone assholes? That I should set off the self destruct in Kara quest and watch them nuke themselves? It's very CoCIIish, with Steele's every attempt at trying to do something being sneered at to me.

At least you get to style on some pirates and steal their super tech ship after, but man is this place a downer.

Myrellion is easily the worst planet indeed, it's the 1 people tend to rush to get it over with & then never return. There isn't too much content either, just a bunch of insect & egg stuff and otherwise nothing relevant, there isn't even a crew member to recruit there afaik.

It's also a prime example that some of the authors think they are intellectual literates who are such great writers that they can combine smut with social commentary and lectures, based on the most simplistic and uninformed takes on war. ^^'

Funny thing, that. IIRC the original plan as was initially envisioned was a very clear black and white red aggressor gold defender deal with none of those odd fascism fetishizing undertones. I can't remember who the writer ended up being but whoever it was turned what was a simple conflict into something it's nearly impossible to care about.

I'd say it still has a few NPCS worth visiting. But really I just go there for sometimes Emmy and a tube of GaloMaxx and get out of there.

*snip*

I can totally buy that the confines of the new platform putting shackles on the nature of encounters and morphing the game as a result.

But I can't say it's inherently a bad thing as TiTS frames it's world(s) differently and there are still plenty of NPCs on every planet (not Dhaal) that are or become MCsexual. Like you're not going down to Canadia and seeing Ushamee just banging any diving onto any available sex partner.

It's just lately it's getting a bit more aggressive with swinging, dicks, and swinging dicks. The gameplay improvements are pretty substantial though. Taur and Naga suits? Pretty damn good. It's almost good enough for me to stop going galotian nearly every run. Gameplays getting pretty elaborate and I like that bit of polish. But damn it, my kingdom for just one more romance.

Oh I do 100% agree Myrellion has some decent NPCs, it's just that they are kinda wasted and the content with them goes nowhere and is usually super limited. 1 example of that would be the scout (with the 2 wives), she gets a super expansive introduction scene & then basically nothing, even though she is part of some quest stuff and whatnot.

In regards to Taur & Naga suit, while ofc being technically very much warranted additions, I still wanna point out that never would have been a thing had they handled those 2 body modifications properly. Had they either never brought them into the game to begin with - or followed through and made it mandatory for the writers to account for them and offering alternative scenes for Nagas and Taurs - having such a roundabout way of making up for the fact a full playthrough as Taur or Naga means missing out on large chunks of content and entire NPCs by default would not have been needed. So I kinda don't feel like the Devs deserve credit for providing a half-assed fix for a major problem their lack of professionalism and discipline created in the first place.

Ive been following this depressing thread for a long time and just wanted to voice my own opinion here.

I like futa, its my favorite content.

Its still shit in TiTs 90% of the time. Like they cant even do that right most of the time.

Want to get impregnated? Heres like 5 characters that can breed you and most of them are either total jerks, a racist, or they technically are just putting eggs in you.

Im sorry did you want more characters like Syri that have believable proportions and arent sentient dicks attached to a barely sentient body? Understood, heres another giant creature of a woman with an hourglass body, hips as wide as the pacific, breasts the size of moons, and a dick the size of a titanic that somehow fits into you as though it were a pencil without any complaint.

And heaven forbid you want some kind of relationship and not a poly futa fuck fest with a bunch of other weird creatures.

Like, I even like full furry content. I like big dicks! But for fucks sake can we at least occasionally add something I wouldnt run away from in real life? I sometimes feel like when playing TiTs that Im living in some weird artists personal fetish world where all his deformed inflation balloon fetish characters are all you get.

My point in all this being: If you dont like futa content youre screwed. If you do like futa content theres like a handful of encounters I think are even any good. Im still revisiting scenes they wrote a decade ago because nothing new has been any good by comparison.

Funny you mention the giant futas, because there was a time Fen himself was tired of them.

Hyper has always been an issue in the development of TiTS. Fen himself is very into hyper content so TiTS always had that going on, but it got so bad there was a point Fen was burnt out and straight up not updating the game anymore due to the fact that he was completely sexually desensitized to any and all content in the game. When you write your 50th giant dick futa with moon tits and ocean hips, it gets old even for the one guy who loves that content so much. So each one has to be more insane than the last to even make Fen feel anything lmao.

The entire thing, just as nonesuch said is a clown operation. Savin's CoC2 fared better for the first few years but also went to shit with terrible update pacing and lack of content. It seems leadership and ability to plan just aren't common skillsets for extreme smut writers, who do not see the sun and hang around in the weirdest corners of the internet (pot, kettle, whatever).

Who would have thought?

 

[destroyerofassholes]

The majority of these things aren't variables that matter to be fair. Like the system that allows them is complex but in regards to interactivity and things the story actually cares about

• Who is on good terms with the PC
• Who is on bad terms
• What kind of SSTDS do they have
• NPCS and plot progression
• Kids
• Who birthed
• Genital and gender configuration

None of this really matters outside of the specific characters they interact with. Very few characters intersect given that most of them are literally planets apart.

What's the real 'issue is'

Fen didn't decide to do that. Fen promised Savin he could make the sequel and Savin went on to make the sequel.
As for how this worked out for this game?

This was what was in the announcement for CoC2. Obviously we have the benefit of hindsight to know that's full of shit. Wsan, Franks, technically SKoW and Gardeford, Savin himself, and realistically B himself either slowed down their contributions dramatically on TiTS or left it altogether. William cross wrote and then started hitting porn developer burnout. Nonesuch was AWOL for a while to work on Cloud10 but seems back now so that's something. Maybe.

It was only after a huge fucking chunk of writers bled out that Fenoxo admitted to himself being burned out. Then you had that nightmare of a JS conversion where all updates practically stopped for half a year.

William also has been AWOL in both the forums and the Patreon so who knows what's happened to him.
Nonesuch's last submission after coming back was back in April. Also thought I saw him in one of the release comment sections so let me see if I can't find what he's up to-

Oh. Hm. Anyways


Engine conversion isn't the sole reason sure. But it's a pretty big one. Another rather big factor is the number of community writers that ended up disappearing into the nether. Who can even say why (out of many potential reasons that is) that happened. But, it happened so all that free unpaid contribution is gone.

Honestly, keeping tabs on TiTS tends to come with more pain as the years pass.


This entire year has been miserable for things I'm interested in and have recently finally unsubed. It's just been dicks (either male or futa) or threesomes. The only lul since like August was Lorelei's Halloween shindig and past that, the one Vanae enthusiast who still doesn't have a portrait I don't think, that one thraggen getting repeatable scenes,

I thought I was just internalizing the things I didn't care for until I went back and checked:

Spoiler: Big list

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

The ratios all screwed up and it feels like it's been this way for at least a year or more. Now that I think on it. How long has it even been since the last NPC with a romance? It's only been just Mitch(?) in the past two years, right?

Sera is my favorite character from TiTS and it sucks nonesuch never really wrote any expansions for her. Damn. I wish the dude at least wrote for CoC 2 or something.

Whats especially sad is give any sort of criticism about these issues over in the official space and all you'll get is the "be the change you want to see in the world" canned response.

1. Maybe I, unlike the devs, dont get my rocks off to writing my own smut? I feel pathetic enough playing a weird text porn game, Im not going to add to that degredation by writing my own fanfiction for it and than seeking approval.

2. Why is the communities responsibility to write? You can't claim its some community driven open game development when at the same time youre heavily restricting what people can do to it. CoC1 was at least moddable from the getgo, so you could at least claim that back then. But now? The fact is its a product. One you want to make money off of where possible. Improve the damn quality yourselves or properly open things up.

Tbh the whole thing about tits rn is just us waiting for Williams stuff to get in and the game to end so modders can do what modders do best and create a better product that the og.Cou4se that's going to take a long ass time but hey when the time comes it'll be fun

I think you're supposed to go to your ship's airlock and leave to actually get to Kiro's ship.

Stay coping, xenos.

On a more serious note, i do wish the futas were more normally proportioned. It's pretty depressing that fucking Savin is the only writer that i can think of that actually writes futas with dicks shorter than 10 inches. Also i hate muscle futas, the entire point of futas for me is that it's a chick with a dick, not a muscly guy with tits. Give more soft curvy futas with reasonably sized dicks, plz.

You either get the muscle dick, the trap dick or stay on Uveto... now where'd I put that climbing gear again?

Yea it's truly a shame that the devs perception of what a dom partner is MUST come with a dick and bulging muscles.Because being assertive can only be shown through the copious amounts of sex thta you can have with x character and not with dialogue.eh forget it.Ill just wait for the game to end so I can join the horde of modders.


On that note after the game ends will there be anyone left to mod it?Questions questions

Probably, who knows if there will be anyone left to mod it. On that note, Fen and most of his Co. really can't write proper dom/dommes for shit unless there's a way for them to also have a baseball bat between their legs.

looking to the past fenoxo game, yes

whats the best starting stats and class?

 

[thecatcameback]

I'm surprised the goo illuminati from Dhaal wasn't running TiTs world, what with how sex crazed the setting is already. I liked the scene saving the cousin from the VR pod, it was funny. What does everyone choose to do with the slime conspiracy? I now want to rerun the party and see what the other two versions of this cousin rescue looks like, doubt they all have goo conspiracy as the finale.

can someone tell me how to raise my hp?
