I want to know what you guys thing of Trials in tainted space. The pros, the cons, etc. It's fun and expansive and theres plenty to do. What are your compliments/gripes for it? Im considering joining the Patreon so wanted to ask if its worth it.

Thanks.

TiTs is a sci-fi game with lots of transformations, anthro and futa content in it (it actually has more than that, but those are the lion's share of it). We can choose our gender, appearance, abilities and class. Its a good choice for those who enjoy a lot of reading and the occasional turn-based, text combat. The game has been in development since 2014, is well-funded and receives weekly updates.

One thing I dislike about it, however, is how RNG-based the transformations are. You can mix-match species but the effects you get are pretty much random and require a lot of save-scumming to get a particular combo. Luckily there's a fan-made save-editor for that. I also feel like there's waaaay too much female/futa content in the game right now to the point it lost its charm and now just feels cheap. Like, let's write a bunch of "attractive female characters who can do it both ways so it saves me the trouble of having the write the same content but for a male character instead". The game just feels unabashedly geared towards straight guys with a fetish for female-on-female and lesbians at this point.

Fetishes include: M/F, F/F, M/M, futa, furries, bimbofication, domination/submission, BDSM, transformations, tentacles, gang-bang, consensual/non-consesual, pregnancy/birthing, over-sized attributes, size-control, hypnotism and incest.

My overall rating: 6/10

Im gay so not sure if it's a fit. You say its "well-funded" and I agree with that.

M/F, F/F, M/M, futa, furries, bimbofication, domination/submission, BDSM, transformations, tentacles, gang-bang, consensual/non-consesual, pregnancy/birthing, over-sized attributes, size-control, hypnotism and incest.
This is all good but i'm not a furry, so are there many humans to choose from? Im not attracted to transformers or cartoon chickens or any of that stuff. (sorry if that sounds wrong, I just mean that cartoony stuff that some furries like) One of my instant issues with the title upon first playing it was, it loads slow and seems to chug at decisions. It looks old too but if the content is fun than theres no need for graphics (still graphics help). Also you mentioned the text-base combat which was fun in what I tried so far but was also so retro. I need to really use my imagination with this game it seems.

There is some gay content in the game but you will have to deal with a lot of females and futas trying to jump at you at every intersection. If you absolutely can't stand that then you're better off staying clear of TiTs.

You can choose to be a human and stay that way but it will require some diligence from your part and avoiding eating or taking stuff that will transform you... and there's A LOT of stuff like that everywhere. Also, you WILL have to deal furries and anthros as they are pretty much the butter and bread of this game.

IMO, based on everything you said I feel like this ain't the kind of game for you. You're better off searching this forum's sub-threads for something a bit more up your alley.

Who are you?
He is one of the people has been making content for the game for a while now.

Well I'll list what I like and then what I don't like, maybe give you some insight.

Good Things
  • Decent setting and lots of thought has been put into it.
  • Deep customization with rather sexy descriptions
  • Active development
  • Covers some fetishes, albeit lightly
  • Beautiful artwork for most busts
  • Easy to learn and figure out
  • Does not get bogged down in idiotic grinds; Fenoxo knows it's a sex game, sex scenes come in quick.
  • The Centaur futa girl you meet in the Mengha wilderness, I wish she could be taken on as a crew member since she makes a perfect mate for my futa centaur.
The Bad
  • Fetishes are only touched upon. They aren't fully developed and rarely do characters you interact with acknowledge them. These are features the game actually recognizes, have costs involved, yet NPCs don't engage them. This is do to a flawed design from the very beginning. An example of this is having a Knot: Despite having a knotted dick, the only time it is acknowledge is if the specific writer wrote the scene to include knotting. Currently there are about three characters you can engage in who have full descriptions of the knotting, the Android sexbot you can find, for example is the only character that properly knots your Steele, yet when you knot the sexbot, it treats Steel's dick as a normal one. It is stuff like this that has caused me to lose interest in the game and supporting them.
  • Like explained above, they continue to add more and more local features written by the people submitting stuff rather than fully fleshing out the aspects they have. For example, they added the Reaha storyline and she was supposed to have an option to be turned Futa, that was abandoned and who knows when they will get back to it.
  • The vast majority of the scenes start pretty interesting (the Centaur girl for example, I enjoy a lot), yet as they progress go either way overboard, or make every effort to kill the vibe as much as possible. "Sorry I'm not ready to be a dad yet", is a big boner killer, not to mention the constant reminding you that they use condoms. Who gives a fuck? It's flash fantasy game. Suspend disbelief for a moment.
  • Almost all the scenes are written to be as exaggerated as possible further killing the mood. Gravid bellies for instance in nearly every scene I've played. Wording as well such as "using you as a cock sleeve". Only a handful of characters met have properly written, sexy, scenes that don't go overboard, and all of them seem to have been written long ago. New stuff added is all extreme ass pounding, using Steele as a cock sleeve until she has a gravid belly type stuff.
  • More power to the dev and his writers if they enjoy that, I'm not judging. But it isn't my fetish and it sucks that almost all the new scenes and characters have taken this direction. Hence, I've delayed subscribing.
  • Development is incredibly slow, yet quick to add more and more unfinished stuff.
What would get me to pay?
  • Steele mirror option. Basically a living (not that android sex bot girl that the writer makes damn sure you remember she's a bot) character you meet in your travels that's a mirror of your Steele. This would in my opinion solve the lack of covering specific fetishes. Like Reaha, her dialogue would have basic customization options, but in the end he or she would be a twin more or less.
  • Acknowledging of the various components already in the game within reason, but major physical features (such as knot) should be acknowledged and used. They so far have been doing a better job, but some of the older characters still lack them, and rarely does Steele herself knot a character.

This is a deal breaker for me I think, especially because of the lack of gay human content

I like TiTS because, as an RPG, it's a massive improvement over CoC, it has a map, navigation and tons of stuff, covers pretty much all fetishes and you have a lot more customization compared to CoC.

However, while having a lot of content, I think that some of that content seems too spread. Some planets like Myrellion have a lot of content, but there are lots of NPCs there with just a little of content and there are some that tell you stuff about the future but never deliver and I just want closure man.

The world expanded to quick with no boundaries, now its too large to manage?

Common indie problem. I only join projects that dont do that because story is the most important thing to me.

The main attractive of the game, is the text.

Sort of pros:
-Combat is simple and straightforward, but a dedicated player that cares for combat can make it interesting, there is a lot of options (just look around at how many threads about "what/how/when to use".
-As the main attractive is text... well, you can expect a lot of it. Is not a cheap MnF flash crashy game. You won't find the usual eyegouging "he fucs you in you pink vagine. She cums inside yoru pink vagina. You cum wit your pinc vagina", but rather explicit and very well "detailed" text. I'm not talking about "detailed" in a sense of anatomically correct, or a perfect cold description, but "detailed" in "the heat of the moment", with characters kissing, biting, sweating out of pleasure and whispering dirty things.
-There's a lot of fetishs.
-As said above, no grinding. I've been trying other games and god, after 2-3 hours of a click-fest diving into silly dialogs, you might get a stupid pic with the standard "he/she fucks you". You'd be fucking literally at the very first 5 minutes. Or not. That's the good side, you can actually clench your cheeks, and go on being moderate.

Sort of cons:
-Text! If you're one of those persons that actually like to see at least a pic here or there, then no. But, there's enough pictures and official artwork to see in their sites if you really need to. Honestly, the characters are well written enough to have practically a good idea of what they look easily. Aside of artwork itself, the interface, and the rest of graphics is fine, and won't destroy your eyes.
-There's a lot of fetishs. And as said above, some are not fully developed, while others seem to have an overabundance. Personally, I think the idea is populate the game first, then develop (again, that's just me)
So you'll find a character like Xhante (an alien dom) that has only 2 scenes, and a character like Syri (another dog-like alien) that has half a dozen scenes on her "place" (where you find her), your place, on a ship, on another character's ship, while fucking with someone else, and even in your dreams (literally), and she shares the doggy-petplay fetish that now half a dozen other character have too. So, if you like the character and the fetish, you'd be ok, but if you happen to fall on one of the less developed fetishes, you'd be a bit dissapointed (a bit. There's so much content you will find solace in someone else. And everyone is willing in TiTs lol).

Of course, there's always personal taste.
You might not like the hyper stuff. While a 10" dick will make shudder anyone in RL, in here is considered just average. Bodies tend to naturally rearrange their insides to fit arm-length members, the standard blowjob is actually irrumatio (I don't remember a character actually sucking or licking), and people can walk around with beachball-sized assets. For me, it's fine, for real stuff I have RL, but others might want more realism.
And your own sexuality has not much to do with enjoying the game.
You can play a straight male, or a gay one, same for female and herms.
Currently, the game is more geared towards gay characters (both M and F), bisexuals, or hermaphrodites. The straight female is the one that might "suffer" a bit more, since there aren't many interesting straight males to find.

Overall, it feels like an "adults" game in the very sense of the word.
There's no chibi-like Legos running around endlessly on maps, and/or stolen overused manga images with cheap-movie lines.
If you like to read, you'll find lots of book references. If you like movies, you'll find even more.
Basically, adults being kinky without worries, not teens trying to be adults without a f**ing clue what goes where. And there's so much content that even cheating to hell and back won't spoil it, or make it a short run. And if you do, you can start over with a different path.

I understand this, but i dont like silly things like vore or trying to fuck pikachus. And from what ive seen of the games' art, there are to many pikachu-like characters and fat girls with penises and cat fur. Blech. And you mentioned also no images ingame, I dont like that, so maybe too oldschool for this fool. Thank you for being so thorough. I'm too picky about my content to be satisfied pushing away hordes of canine-donged gals in Mass Effect costumes, thanks. LOL yet no gay equivalent exists, so that's why I support them instead, even though these projects are small now.

Yeah no it ain't. If you're a straight girl or a gay male you'll barely find any guys to fuck, since the sexable male/female NPC ratio is so unfair. Hell I'm bi with a male preference, while I'm someone who plays a purely male character and thus will fuck a girl or two no problem, along with gaining a Waifu or two, I very much prefer M/M stuff and male characters, and yet I've seen so many females and chicks with dicks get added into this game that my attention goes to the neglected males to the point you'd think I was straight. I didn't even have a decent husbando the entire 3-4 years I played this game until Liamme and Chaurmine came around. >.<
Hell I barely if ever get my rocks off in this game nowadays because I'm part of the minority, I barely even touch my TiTS files lately as well because I've lost a lot of interest for a lot of reasons. Makes me wonder why I still play the game.

It's geared towards straight guys and lesbians to a lesser degree, not gay male characters. Savin said it himself. It's frustrating as fuck for the minority but we have to bear with it.

Note I've said "adults". ;)
There's no Pikachu characters (thankfully). There are furry, which is NOT the same than funny.
Yes, there are animal-like characters. But there's also aliens, monsters and robots. It's... like Futurama. In porn. And not being cartoony.
As far as artwork, there aren't big pics because there's no rel need for them, but each character actually has a portrait, and most have several. I wouldn't be playing neither if there wasn't at least a bit of colour or a pic.
I'm serious when I say you won't need them, descriptions are good enough. Most of the arousal seeing pictures, is making the idea, dialogs and background on your head, the picture is actually secondary.

So, in here, the text offers those fantasies.
Canine-donged gals? yes, there are a lot, maybe too many lol.
But there's also a planet full of half-bull-cow people. Lactation and big girlas fans will find heaven in there. If you're into into big, sweaty bulls, you'd be in heaven too there. Or instead you might prefer a bull-girl... yep, is there. Or the contrary, you being the bull, and dominate someone alpha-style.
If your thing is egg impregnation, and insects, there's a planet for it too. With domination, gay, effeminate, trans, and pretty much all types of kinks, with the egging-bugs themathic as background.
Or you might want to swing around plants in a jungle, half naked and yelling. There's a jungle planet.

Anyways, what I mean is that, despite some fetishes being overused, there's plenty of other stuff around, enough to find your niche.
For example, I friggin hate bugs, i can't find a single exciting thing about them. Yet their planet is one of the ones I visit most, because there are certain characters that really grind my gears.

I see your point. You don't like furries and you're picky. Pretty much like everyone around. But your first impression is the Pikachu-girls with dongers, because is what you don't like. You're not seeing the rest ;)

If there's some overabundance of X fetish, is mainly because some fetishes are more popular, and they're commisioned more often.
maybe you should give the game a try. Look around, ask questions here, etc. Then think about Patreoning. You won't lose anything. Or might find more comfortable commissioning specific stuff for you (if other don't like it, f**k them).

If you're a male gay character, there's tons of options, since almost every male in the game is willing to go poopers with you, pretty much everyone is bi (there are exceptions). Go to New Texas, and you have more gay options than for females. Heck, my fem Steele practically has to beg around to get fucked, in a planet that people fucks around in the street. The big hunked guy that is not gay, is not willing to sex because this or that. I think the only two are Big T, and Ogram. Actually, New Texas is a male gay paradise, because the sexable girls have a dick or are the muscular dominant type, and available guys are femenine or hunked up.

But yeah, I agree (and said it on another thread), that there's a notorious lack of a male developed relantionship. Most are either female, or herms, and the crew is mostly a clam-fest. It's sort of an opposite issue: there's tons of guys to fuck around and none to develop into a relationship, and there's few females but most are precisely for relationships.

@Doodlecat
I've played enough to see the portraits.They look like cartoons IMO. That's what made me think the game was too furry for me.
Or might find more comfortable commissioning specific stuff for you (if other don't like it, f**k them).
No need for this since I found a couple games I really like and I can watch them develop. Besides not sure what I really really like yet. I know its femboys, human ones, and the games I support are those. But I also like others things, and rarely girls too but they have to be done right to my tastes. Thank you for the walkthrough but honest the too many futa kinda ruins the game for me I think. Still will try it again to be sure. But I don't want to have to like bug people or cows to get my fetish.

@Emerald
I can recommend some femboy games if youd like. They're my fetish too. :)

And that's another 'No it ain't'.
Gay guys don't want muscular girls or girls with dicks, they want GUYS. Gay guys are attracted to guys. Just because a girl is muscular or has a dick does not mean it appeals to gay men, it appeals to straight guys and lesbians that are into amazons. :/

If you're a male gay character, there's tons of options, since almost every male in the game is willing to go poopers with you
there's tons of guys to fuck around
NAH THEY AINT
IIRC, Males are like 1/3rd as many (60 or somewhat over that I don't fucking remember, plz do correct me if I'm wrong and I'll change that) of the over 150 females in the game and barely over (Or under, idk) half of them are sexable. Almost every female in the game you can fuck. While there are some that are actually wanting to write sexable guys for the game, and some even submitted some recently, they're still vastly outnumbered by the number of sexable girls.
Sexable males are not common at all. Idk where you got that almost every guy is sexable when they aren't.

Again, the game's appeal is straight men and lesbians, not gay men.

@Emerald
I can recommend some femboy games if youd like. They're my fetish too. :)
Depends on what kind of game it is. If it has the guy being TFed, forced or otherwise, to full female (Which is basically the norm for the femboy/trap fetish in games unfortunately) I'm not touching it.

Exactly !! I just happen to like kinda androgynous guys.

And thanks for the detail about the sexual availability of dudes. Would have been immensely frustrating to discover on my own.
