A banner of all my main NPCs (and one adopted) in TiTS, by Rohezk.

Welcome to my Wall. Here is where I keep you all abreast of what's going. Transparency is critical to me, even more now that I represent Trials in Tainted Space as an employed writer. Please use this thread for all feedback and questions related to what I do as I continue working on TiTS. Thank you very much for your interest.

I continue to operate a Patreon. As before my formal staffing, your pledges will support all the content I write going forward even if it's not commissioned or on hours. My main incentive since December 2018 was to offer a monthly communal commission. >$5 Supporters are able to vote on a poll and suggest scenes to be added to TiTS, and that poll will continue! Remember: by no means should you feel obligated or expected to do this, I will carry on as I always have -- and thank you, truly, to all who have supported me thus far.

A CoC2 thread will be maintained in the future, but for now, everything related to my work can be discussed here - Cloud 10 included!


NPCs Written
  • Roo | A kaithrit blackjack dealer on Zheng Shi's recreation deck. She strips as you go on winning streaks, and eventually offers sex and a final, super VIP prize!
  • Roxy | A laquine female on Uveto, in the Irestead Stadium. She's a sporty bun with a fetish for getting bred, impregnated, and fucked stupid -- but she's also a power bottom! Handle with care!
  • Bianca | A modified human that works as a doctor on all the Rush planets - Mhen'ga, Tarkus, Myrellion.... Bianca is a two-tailed, fox-themed MILF who will provide tender love and care as you're out exploring. Pulling away her sweater, her shirt, her big bra... you'll get to be super intimate with an experienced, mature woman with supreme sexual skill.
  • Easter Jumper | During the Easter holiday season you can encounter a festive laquine Jumper on Zheng Shi's combat tiles. She's a very lewd girl who will pin and cockslap you into submission if you don't accept an offer of getting egged up by her special jizz!

This might have been answered already in another thread, but will Leila be one of the pre-existing jumpers (as in the player chooses which jumper is canonically Leila by recruiting her) or will she be an independent character?

I wouldn't mind either option, just curious as to how you will be handling it.

You will be able to choose which Jumper Leila is. I did write a few thousand words into her document a while ago on the series of events for this. I decided that after 20 Jumper encounters you will have a rare event in the mines where two laquines are accosting one. You can decide to step in or walk on. If you step in, then you see four options, letting you decide what color bunny is being harassed. There are consequences for the choices in these events for her character.

Afterward, Leila will always be found in the Break Room with the Dong Designer on the Foundry level until recruitment is formally possible.

In short, you get to choose which of the four bunnies you like for aeshetic (I lined out a load of [leila.##] parsers for this), and it's always Leila. For future content, since LDC + Shock Hopper are coming up soon, when you beat the Jumper leaders Leila will approach you automatically without the Mine encounters, and you can go on to things from there.

She's going to be designed like Ardia a bit in that she provides you some more info and can be sexed up royally when you first get to Zheng Shi.

Wait, are the Bored Jumper pregnancies just for the rando jumpers or will Lelia also be able to get knocked up/impregnate Steele?

This would make Lelia the 2nd crew member capable of impregnating Steele.

I've chosen not to have pregnancy in my NPCs, sorry. In Leila's case I fall back on the lore: fertility plague. Leila does not go into heat (without some form of medical assistance ;)) and is incapable of conceiving children. When Generic Laquine Pregnancy is added, it will prevent Leila from spawning in the mines until any existing term is carried out, because I want Jumpers to be preggable by the PC with several events like the Zil Pregnancies.

You might think you could preg and be pregged by all the jumpers and it would count but nope :catte:

Eh it's okay. When Shekka joined we had a about 1000 kids over the course of a weekend. I'll just satisfy myself by taking it out on the randos. :catte: Things are probably better this way.

I'm still staggered by the number of spawn you put out. I thought 40+ kids was ambitious.

@William. lots of love your for contents. :)

out of most of the enemies and npcs added to the mines i gotta say i enjoy the jumpers the most, i think only ardia (who scratches particular fetishes of mine), and Maike (such an interesting set of scenes), and the forge hound (again muh fetishes) are the only ones who really compete and all but one of those is repeatable now i think about it

I chose to be lazy the past three days to be on top of Rats and any potential issues... and to just be lazy, I needed it. I'm aware of a few quirks in the Reputation dialogue scaling (Befriending them should replace a few things like in the shakedown text) and missing words, I'm going to make the attempt to hash out as much as I can next week for the public patch so they can basically drop in mirror-shine mode, but for how little issue there is overall with them I am just way too complacent and happy that they turned out the way they did for their size.

Today my plan is to finish LDC + Shock Hopper contributions for Savin and Fen. I still have the Hopper's Bad End and half a Bimbo/Amazon scene where you ride LDC and get DP'd by the Hopper -- the actual sex, and the amazon lead up. Amazons get to dom the sissy-boi after all.

Often times I come up with too many ideas, but once I make it through my backlog I think I can start getting more consistent. A few times I've said that it isn't a project by me without oral sex being taken to the maximum, but I think I will be adding Breastfeeding to that. My next idealized breastfeeding scene is if you're nice to the rats and their gang overall then you get to breastfeed the entire gang at their hideout -- to be added in the future with their boss Mikhail. I believe there's a stipulation where you never run out of milk so the Dairy Cow/Treated variant will have a different ending where they just all fill up their flasks and bottles with your [pc.milkNoun].

And since Mikhail has only been mentioned briefly (mostly on Fenchat Discord), the five gangs that run Zheng Shi naturally have bosses. LDC + Shock Hopper are the Jumper leadership. Three are undetermined and up in the air. Fen simply said that the Rat boss would be 'a human male with the mouse ears + tail TF'. I'm going to handle him. I forecast him as a romantic rogue, a farcical and dramatic man, but a very standard man for female PCs to engage with. Since he's a regular, average human - much as you can be for a TF + sci-fi game like TiTS - the more modded up amazons/females gain more of an edge and ride him into the ground. Should be funny imho.

On the inverse, not-so modded female PCs will have a very romantic and flirtatious experience.

*All of this assuming you don't just smack them all over the head and forgo being nice to them :p Every boss will serve a purpose for post-Probe engagement on Zheng Shi.

Anyway that's all. This thread exists to let me ramble at people in a more visible spot about the things I will do.

any chance of letting us give Mikhail something to change his penis? To another penis type, that is. I just don't like human penises, but he sounds interesting so I want my female Steeles to bang him, lol

Haha, I don't know right now. When I wrote his appearance I gave him a 9-inch human dong. More than likely it'll stay that way, I can't imagine anything else fitting him.

There's not even any gay stuff.

How is this wall supposed to satisfy me, the 2%?

I am going to write a very serious letter to my congressman about this wall.

But there are two boys in the Rat Pack, and you can fuck their butts.

Then you can keep fucking them, leaving them gaping.

Also, you can take both mouse-boy's anal virginities.

I honestly can't think of anything either, as I have no idea what a rat dick looks like

Just figured I'd ask, just in case. I mean, everyone on this forum seems to think horsecocks go well on anything :p

As someone who's had to deal with lab rats I can tell you they are surprisingly human-like. You would be surprised how often you you need to fondle with a rat's junk as a biologist. No, not in the way you're thinking. If I tell you how you're probably not going to sleep well tonight so I'm gonna put it behind a spoiler and I highly recommend you don't open it.

Rat dicks are the best place to stick a needle, because veins are ridiculously hard to find.

So yeah, they look a lot like human dicks, but with a very thick layer of skin all over, so the head is barely noticeable, it's almost like a solid tube of skin and it's also sheathed when flaccid.

So, is the Rat Raiders encounter supposed to be incredibly tough, or am I just doing something wrong?
My Steele is a level 10 merc with either Vamp Blade or Plasma Hawk and good stats (Physique maxed, most other stats high) and either Goo Armor or Suit of Augment-weave Armor.
I've never come close to beating them. They stunlock me with grapples, blinds and such, they heal each other's shield, even if I focus fire I can't defeat one before I'm taken out myself.

Well you do more damage with Kinetic weapons than Energy, it's better for a Merc to use gear that increases Defense and Fortification, and your perk setup might be wrong.

Since you mentioned melee weapons, I will assume you are a melee fighter. Go for the biggest Kinetic damage number you can find, like the Saurmorian Hammer. You want Detonation Charge to damage single targets because your other perks give your melee multi-target damage. Since melee Mercs can hit flying enemies, use the Warden Shield from Kattom as your ranged weapon. Augment-Weave isn't bad, but you should try to get the Ramshackle Power Armor or Frostbane Plate. Use Second Wind only when you reach 0 Energy or 50% health.

I'm not a Merc myself, but this is how one of my friends plays, and he hasn't lost.

... Huh! TIL. That's nice to know, and I really wish I hadn't opened the spoiler. Curiosity killed this kittybirb for sure

Oh well, minor detail, if the rat-dude is interesting enough I'll probably bang him on my female Steeles anyway

So, is the Rat Raiders encounter supposed to be incredibly tough, or am I just doing something wrong?
My Steele is a level 10 merc with either Vamp Blade or Plasma Hawk and good stats (Physique maxed, most other stats high) and either Goo Armor or Suit of Augment-weave Armor.
I've never come close to beating them. They stunlock me with grapples, blinds and such, they heal each other's shield, even if I focus fire I can't defeat one before I'm taken out myself.

Rats have 75% immunity to Electric and Burning when their shields go down; ergo, you are intended to be using Kinetic, Cryo, Chemical etc against them afterward. Your weapons won't beat them. A Vamp blade is great to drain their shields into yours for longevity (and it is in fact their most critical, crippling weakness if used correctly) but unless you were a Drone Tech Specialist you can't beat them this way. A plasma hawk is all burning, so it's out.

I take it you must be an all Melee Merc with Cleave and associated perks. You can totally win reliably and easy, but you need to use different weapons. Any weapon you get from Plot or Waifu/Husband quests like Taivra's Spear, the Saurmorian Hammer, etc, are all great. You can even go a step farther and destroy their evasion if you beat the Forgehound and grab his +Aim Accessory. Also, it's far easier to Stun female rats because they have much lower physique, letting you follow up with power strikes.

If you deviated from a pure melee or ranged build then you might have bigger problems. When playtesting Rats I played at least 30 rounds as Melee/Ranged builds of all three classes. If after this you're still having trouble then you'll need to tell us what perks you picked.
