Others Trials in Tainted Space [v0.9.118] [Fenoxo]

[claralover]

The only thing I really look forward to from this game is stuff from William, the scenes from him are usually pretty good imo.

 

[Archaon11111]

I can't say I blame him considering that the game has no real direction anymore. That's what happens when you pander to your Patrons rather then sticking to your vision - the game belongs less and less to you. Noone to blame but himself, but still.

Don't see how you could blame the patrons on this one, fenoxo has been sticking to his vision and all that shows is that his plan sucks. Take ship battle system and crew system for example or that nearly half of all characters are futa (his main fetish), dude is simply burned out from working on a project for 7 years.

To be fair, the ship combat system isn't entirely his fault. Gedan [the person currently in charge of the javascript port] was the one that was supposed to handle all of the ship content to begin with, and as we all know, Gedan can't get even make sure the code doesn't break when they add what little they do in these recent updates. So Fen had to slap some shit together after enough people kept bitching at him about it and the only answer he could give was, "Idk."

 

[JoePlant]

"Wow I actually wrote this one" attached to a single miniscene in a package alongside Just Bugfixes™ is never an encouraging thing to hear from, ostensibly, the manager and head writer for the game, yes

To be fair, "head writer" in a case like this is moreso a title for the person primarily responsible for making sure story added doesn't break "cannon" as it were, not necessary the most prolific writer.
A lead is normally the one that makes sure that the underlings aren't going to muck something up.

At my work, I may have an employment title of "software developer" (I really should check to see if "senior" should be added to it.), but I wear soo many "hats" I haven't done real development in a long while. I worry about losing my touch, but I go into many reviews of the other developers to point things out to make sure stuff doesn't get mucked up, make sure the architecture doesn't get screwed, litterally 40% of my time is lost in meetings ( recorded it once for 2 months to verify that. ), etc. that I don't have time to handle some of the more detailed stories.

Now does Fenco do any of that? I haven't a clue what he does, honestly. I lost interest when it became more cock than pussy in the game months... years? back.

 

[redcynic]

Fenoxo is basically responsible for the fact that all characters (old and new) get more oversexualised, hyperendowed, and have ridiculous body proportions.

To me it sounds like he cant get enough off it.

Fen's explicitly stated 'thing' is huge titty huge dick futa bimbos. Which, aight fair cop, that can be hot in controlled doses

Except, you know how people around these parts like to poke fun at Adjatha's art? Where dicks in pants are just huge orb bulges and everyone looks like you hit the w i d e button in photoshop? Fen is the reason Adjatha is the main artist. He explicitly commissioned Adjatha so often they basically just got put on the team. That is his preferred proportions.

Again I wanna reiterate none of this is kinkshaming, the man's entitled to like what he likes. Just pointing out that TiTS (and CoC before it) have always mainlined the idea that a 10 inch dick is pretty small, etc, etc.

Are there any online save editors? idk why, but TiTSEd wont open after installing, and apparently none of my browsers support minerva due to some API error

CoC is a bit better in the sizes department. There are a minority of characters that have oversized body parts.

TiTs, on the other hand, started out good. Syri's 8inch dick was described as big, and you couldnt have anal sex if your dick was bigger than 12inches. As the development progressed, the devs became more depraved? and started to oversize everything. Every new NPC had huge boobs, huge butts, huge dicks.

My favourite artist is Cheshire. A lot of the starting characters busts, were made by them, and they look sexy and realistic. Dont know if they still work on it (I think they dont).

Sounds like this is all gonna end just like COC 1 did where he loses all motivation for it, starts a new project (that steampunk one he was talking about some time ago), and then promises to finish the last game with some lazy slapped together ending... [insert shocked and surprised face]

If he makes a steampunk game, Im going to expect that 1,67 tall female character who has a 21inch mechanical horsecock and a leaf on her head, named Aessalya or Miro or something. Fenoxo seams to have a thing for oversized body parts, which I find crngy and not sexy at all.

 

[RhapsodicHotShot]

To escape the (justified) negativity, what is everyone's favorite content in TiTS and why?

Favourite content for me is still Anno and Syri, like they were from the beginning. I just dont like the direction they took (or will take both of these characters). Anno is going futa, and Syri is going to be a hellhound and both of these are exclusively dom content. Wish they made more interactions between the sisters instead of going the way they did.

There is Geoff, a very insegnificant side character that I really like to dom as a futa, but he has only 2-3 scenes.

Then there is Jesse, which is a submissive dickgirl and I really like her scenes.

I also liked Roxy, but I'm not really into preg, so I only really read like half? of her content.

If you liked Roxy, I think you should interact with Bizzy. She wants to be a porn actress and asks Steele to give her money to increase her boob size. The best part about her is that you can choose how she develops. Either big tittied bimbo, or an athletic dancer, which is my favourite path.

Anno is going futa

Please tell me you're joking. At this point it seems like Anno is the only female npc that is still regularly getting new scenes....

And to get into this conversation, I think its 100% patreon's fault and not Fenoxo's "original vision". If you look at the first half of game's development (M'henga - Uveto) all content seems balanced like in CoC. You have standard male/female mobs (with the rare futa), most npcs are girls, though there are a few more kinky options like Sera or Ramis.
Then there was that huge 3-4 year content drought before work started on Zeng Shi and everything started getting geared more towards submissive players. Now if you look at Zeng Shi what are the mobs - hyper futas and hypno snakes + cats. What are the npcs - all dominant; not a single submissive "save me hero I'm a helpless slave" npc. It's the same for pretty much all new content.
I think Fen realized that 90% of patreons are subs who don't care about the game. They just want to fantaszie about getting dominated by space girls, so that's what he gives them. And it's precisley because he "sold out" his game that he has lost all interest in developing further. Why bother to think of creative ideas for new gameplay mechanics, or even a new story planet, when all his patreons want is a futa Anno xpack. Easy money.

 

[Eminba]

Can anyone explain to me how to reset Lorelei so that I can encounter her again using cheats? I put everything about her to zero but I still can't encounter her.

Im not jokig, it has been confirmed by Savin. Savin let fenoxo write futa scenes for Anno. Honestly not surprising since all of her new content has her use her hardlight stap-on on MC.

Honestly, Jeng Shi isnt that bad. The Bored Jumpers are only dominant when you lose scenes and when you allow them to be, and they arent hyper. The Rat Raiders all have submissive scenes if you win, as well as the cats.

But the Ardia content, Anno's and Syri's future content and other stuff thats planned, is pretty much mostly geared towards submissive players. There is also that childhood "friend" who was a bully, which only has dominant attitude towards the MC.

I dont know if its Patreons' fault or Fenoxo's but honestly, he shouldnt have allowed patreons to rule over his game making decision, if thats the case.

nah, Anno is actually getting a futa expansion

"Oh, and Anno? Savin did give me permission to write a futanari expack. I’ve been too busy to start it, but there are ideas tickling along…"
I mean, it'll be optional like the Paige, so just don't do it?

 

[claralover]

"He shouldn't allow the customers to decide what content they'd like to see in the game."
That doesn't make much sense, even if you don't like the direction the game's heading you can't deny that allowing your customers/patrons to decide or have a say in what gets implemented is a good decision from a business standpoint. It allows you to retain customers much more easily while incentivizing future patrons to "have their choices heard".

 

[JTakiyaa]

That's the worst take ever. Imagine not paying a dime and complain about not getting your content inside and you get shat over. Now we're gonna shit over the paying people. If anything, having every content made by only Fen is the worst of all. Look at CoC and how it dies.

Sadly you have to live with that knowing what the majority wants and needs even if its a shitty thing to add if it pays your rent that's who you should please.

Or If somebody could upload a save where she can still be encountered that would help too.

Good thing he can't write for shit now because considering the amount of content that needs to written and rewriting all of her previous scenes for futa anno is so massive that I doubt he will ever get to it.

Yeah its optional, but is it really? Most of the new content are futanari dom characters or dom content, so there is not that much new content for the rest of us who dont want that. And Im saying this as a guy who really likes futa, my Steele is a futa-Gryvain, but its just too much content geared towards that dom-futa "fetish". Where are the butt-boys, the power-bottom femboys or dom women that dont use a strap-on. There is a ton of content that hasnt been explored and yet they decide to add the 25th futa that is almost exactly the same as the other dom futas.

You misunderstood what I said. I didnt mean for him to ignore the patreons completely but he shouldnt start implementing every thing that they want, especially at the expense of the main story. The game has been at the same fucking probe for like 2 years now because of this and his laziness at doing the porting of the game, which should have started the moment flash announced that it would stop being supported.

CoC died explicitly as a result of NOT being limited to fen's writing. Specifically, Fen allowed content authors to retain control of their characters and how they were used... and content creators abused the fuck out of it till Fen just couldn't take it. Add in a bunch of additional drama around refactoring the code and Fen finally noped out of his own game. This is why Fen reserves the right to use characters and content added to the game as he sees fit starting with TiTS and makes having you content added predicated on agreeing to that. And the result has been a vast improvement in loose ends being wrapped up and characters not being removed or changed at the original authors whim.

I agree otherwise... but the idea that CoC died cause it was only Fen making content is exactly the opposite of what happened.

 

[kleenixkill]

I like Fenoxo's games but I am so burned out on herms and futas that I can't even enjoy them anymore in any smut. I originally stopped following TiTs back when the futa cow bimbo planet was introduced. But dang it Will is such a good writer that his work dragged me back into this game.
