Nonesuch's Catalogue of Smut

Yeah, Nonesuch's writing is great. I don't think there's anything he's written for TiTS that I haven't liked. I'm really glad he's contributed to the game.
I'd like to join the hugbox for a while after having visted the Arbetz Travel Agency. I was quite sceptical of any possible ways in which gabilani could be expanded past Colenso, especially reminding the old forum's TDM "goblins in a junk planet" thread posts, and I certainly didn't want to have another Tamani around. But the project contents kept a balance I was not expecting. The Baroness is sassy in her dialogues yet not incredibly obxonious (but I can understand why there's a "hate sex" option), and the two guys... Those fellows also surprised me. They show a good combination of "guy next door" and "surf's up" attitude, whilst being well aware of their sex trophy situation without falling into stereotypes or blandness.
I like Tamani. A lot. Especially the mod stuff where she becomes even more waifu - I have a diverse array of interests in various fetishes, but both waifu and pregnancy/breeder stuff are a couple of my favorites. Base CoC Tamani hits the pregnancy/breeder fetish hard, and I like various components of the waifu stuff, too. That said, I agree with this post because when I see a character directly translated from CoC or incredibly similar to one from CoC (and some of that's going to happen regardless - simply due to the nature of the two games being similar in being porn games), it seems redundant. If I wanted that character, I'd boot up CoC. So it's really nice to see a goblin(-equivalent) female character in TiTS that isn't basically a carbon copy of Tamani. A nice, dommy gobliness really hits the spot and tickles other itches than Tamani. Variety is the spice of life and all that.
And the hate sex is actually my favorite. Not because I dislike the character (or what she does), but she's the kind of person/character where I can see the interaction dynamic resulting in a really good "hate" fuck.
I'm not really into the guys, but I can appreciate the appeal to other people. It seems weird to me (and a mildly off-putting) to me when folks are only interested in content that hits on their fetishes and interests, or worse, are critical of adding any material that appeals to other people but not them in particular.

I'm not interested in waifus, pregnacy, impregnation or shortstacks. Goblins aren't exactly my first choice when it comes to smut. But what bothered me the most aboutTamani was how I just kept on stumbling across her around the Forest and the Deepwoods all the time. Una isn't like that, so chances are I'll trigger her sex scenes at one point, just like I liked to trigger Lynette's.
I hugely appreciate Nonesuch attempts at delivering a varied smexy menu. I don't know what's his drive, but I feel (at least judging by my limited experience in smutty roleplaying and private writing) that erotica is the genre that falls into wish-fulfillment the most. Do you write for your boner/damp folds, or do you write varied scenarios for fun and exploration? I truly wish it's both for him.

This so much, although I have no issue with the first 4 things listed, every other thing though... yeah
Heh. You know, when I was in the middle of writing those two I caught myself thinking "At least Kissy will enjoy this".
When he reviewed it, Thermic criticised me in (relatively) strong terms for not essentially producing Tamani Mk2. He felt that people who would go looking for goblin content would want savage preg content, and I was misreading the audience by giving them something different. I had several problems with doing that, though. A) Tamani Mk2, never mind Tamani herself, already existed in the form of the raskvel female mob. I felt that the whole completely breed-obsessed shortstack thing had been played out; B) The gabilani had to be a proper NPC because they were going to give plenty of exposition. Doing preg content for a named NPC is a massive ball-ache, beyond what I was willing to produce on top of everything else that had to be present; and C) I wanted to create a character and a location who would embody the reason why the raskvel and the gabilani have such a cultural separation. If Una was essentially a green raskvel, that wouldn't explain anything about Tarkus. Finally, I was inspired at the time by JG Ballard's Super-Cannes, which explores what sharp cultural separation can do to a mind-set - as well as had an ice-cold lady who owned a pool and two boys purely for entertainment purposes in it.
I could probably do a small commentary like this about why all of my projects turned out the way they did, but yeah, not quite arrogant enough to produce the DVD just yet. :shibe:
I'm motivated by producing a balance of content more than anything. If I only wrote what got my engine running I would only do stuff like the Sera PC sub content and the Carrie blowjobs all day long; but that'd get boring and it gets to me if I'm just doing more of what's already there. That's one of the reasons why I tend to do non-waifu-able characters who aren't nice, or have a bit of an edge to them, like Una and Gene. Savin produces a female character who's nice or very sympathetic at a rate of about one per month, and that's great; people want to have sex with nice, sympathetic women more than anything. I always try and aim to do something a bit different, though.

It´s good to see that it´s not just a "taking one for the team" thing. I think you´re doing a great job helping this game to have a diversity of content.
I can't speak for the rest of players, but I am glad about how you stressed the differences between raskvel and gabilani via Una and her talks, both concerning their smut role as well as the one both parties have in the story. Whilst I like to see faint CoC-TiTS connections, I can't help but sighing at "oh, look, now we have x, I wonder why didn't they use their time/resources/skills to do an X x-pac in the first place".
As much as I like Jim's stuff, I'm going to have to disagree with him on this one. I liked Tamani's content don't get me wrong, but I like the variety and differences between the Gabilani in TiTS and the goblins in CoC. WIth Tamani and her crowd, the breeding obsession fit the game and the way goblins work, with the Gabilani, it would have felt off and clashing with the lore.
The Ruskvel are breed happy yeah, but also the Gabilani live in stations and such, so they'd be very careful about population levels I feel.
Plus, the variety is nice and I like just being able to go for some hate sex with an aggressive and lusty lady like Una.
I appreciate that you are willing to write more than just your personal interests, as well as the quality you provide regardless of it being one or not. I have to say you provide a nice balance as strong or aggressive women are just as sexy and passionate as the more sweet types.
Thare's well enough under way and has its comissioner's approval for the public to have a look at it.
It will add a plantation location within the Mhen'gan jungle which will act as a staging post where can rest/fuck a subby zil boy whenever you like, if that's your thing. It has a lot of scope for future interest - it's something that would be affected heavily if the Fate of Mhen'ga thing sees the light of day, and even if that doesn't come to fruition I'd like to create options to invest in it so that various types of status-effecting fruit items could be grown for the PC. It may even be the place where the plant TF can be accessed, we'll see.

I would be one of those people who would be really annoyed to see that idea get canned.
I feel that a thing like the Fate of M'henga should be it's own planet rather than using M'henga.
I kind of agree in that Mhen'ga is the basic starter planet and I wouldn't be terribly delighted with content that dramatically changed its narrative. Still, the system as laid out seems fairly unobtrusive, and I'm a Civ guy, so I'd be totally fine with it getting in.
Already have.
I picked Mhen'ga because a) it's innately valuable and untouched in a way no other planet is or is likely to be, and b) exactly because it is the basic starter planet. Every player is likely to feel an affection towards it because it's (likely) where they had their formative experiences. Also it doesn't really *have* a narrative.
Plus creating a whole new planet and a roster of natives just to house this idea would be a collosal pain in the arse, as you all very well know. I made sure there was an opt-out in there which means the planet for the most part would continue on as it did beforehand, if you aren't interested in Space Tropico.
It's true. Mostly I'd just be displeased if the tone got too heavy, but from what's there I'm not too worried about that unless the player actively tries to go full slave state banana republic with it.
a) I feel like there would be a lot more valuable worlds with far more bizarre and valuable structures(like Uveto with it's weather and the Savicite outcroops). M'henga is a jungle world and it would produce mostly food, which there should be many worlds like it. The only unique resources it currently has that I can remember is Urtha Sap.(I think JimT mentioned instant birth water, but that would be deep into Vanae territory)
b) That won't work if Fen makes the new MaddMax world a starter world.
My problem is that it changes the status quo of M'henga entirely forcing every writer that wants to write for it to consider the changes such project would apply to their projects. And because it's mostly focused on Esbeth, all of the older characters would have to be reviewed and adapted to the change of status in the character. You can't just become the governor and have people carrying business as usual. That, to me, seems to be the bigger issue.
Building a new world for that purpose wouldn't have those issues, and yes it would be an hassle, but it wouldn't be as problematic as building an entirely new world like Uveto, New Texas, M'henga and Tarkus (and Tavros). In structure it could end up as being more similar to the ship where mechanically there is only one room, but in the lore there is much more in it. Theoretically it could end much closer to Poe-A and Ausaril in size and structure than the other previously mentioned worlds.
But, see, Nonesuch can't write an entire planet all by himself. Which is, in effect, what you're suggesting. Space Tropico is pretty ambitious, but it's a lot less so than being That Guy and going off into your own hermit corner to make a custom planet that will never see the light of day.
Which is why I suggested something more simplified. But that's still a big project and there are lots of way of going around it. If we ignore Esbeth, because of its problems, there still are lot of other possible options that I can suggest. For example:
* The Thale is a good option that works has a farm, but it isn't exactly a colony. Maybe it could grow into a colony, but it feels like it's too close to Esbeth to be a good option? Maybe on the other side of the map, or even different map of M'henga altogether?
* The easiest option is to put in it Myrellion and make it part of Taivra's former Queendom. Steele's status as a ruler is already established there if the PC becomes royalty, so it wouldn't have the issues that Esbeth has.
* It could be introduced early into development of a future world, so any issues could be considered earlier while making the world a little more appropriate for Space Tropico. But considering the current range of worlds being developed, a usable world is still very far away.

Lashcharge. Dude. The plantation is mostly written, and it was commissioned entirely with the FoM thing in mind. I'm not going to move it now, no matter how grandly you detail plans to the contrary.
I already HAVE written a bunch of provisional stuff that details most of the existing cast of Esbeth reacting to your new status. I want to make it so that the atmosphere at the bar changes depending on how sleazy and/or well liked you are. That kind of thing is easy and fun to do. What is far more difficult is setting up NPCs and structures from scratch. I mean your idea of a one-box planet has merit - but that still necessitates a fuckload of set-up to make work, and at the end of it you don't get to walk around your colony, admiring the impact of your rule. Please do drop it.

I actually like the idea of sticking the content on M'henga, though maybe it ought to be unlocked later into the game. Like to give the player reason to go back to the planet outside as it being a starter planet there really isn't much reason to go there. As it stands there isn't much of reason to go to the damn planet after you leave it and future content is likely to kill a couple of the reasons if my understanding of what content is planned atm is at least somewhat accurate.

To put it basically either let slavers take over the place or kick them out.
