I've been playing TiTs since day one, when there was only one planet with half a jungle. Have been lurking around but never showed any support other than one email I send to Fenoxo, which he replied on. That was awesome.
While I have money and am willing to give financial support, I'm unwilling to acquire a creditcard or use bitcoin. Creditcards are uncommon where I live and I dislike bitcoin. I'm not complaining, but just a short explanation on how I feel about that.
I thought about helping with the wiki, but since I can only play public releases, the information I add can be outdated once a new backer release arrives.
So now I'm going to write a review about the game thus far. Talking about the things I like and the things I dislike. I'm not going to bash anything or anyone. I know I play for free and that the game isn't finished. I hope what I'm writing here helps improve the game or maybe make someone laugh.
I'm going to start with the things I don't like, and then with the things I do like. Followed up with my personal preferences.

DISLIKES

-Combat.
The combat has been stale for a long time. Barely seeing any improvement at all. Maybe you play this game just for porn, but you need to fight in order to progress, and with the new 'slower' xp system, I'm honestly a bit bored.
I like combat in games (including porn games), and have been playing (tabletop) rpg's, textgames, boardgames and more. Currently, TiTs offers only 3 classes and you have to decide if you want to use only melee weapons, or only ranged weapons. The mercenary and the smuggler play almost exactly the same. The mercenary having a steady medium damage, while the smuggler has a low-high damage rate. But that's the only difference.
What I would like to see is more classes, in example. Or let me make my own class by choosing out of all the perks, instead of the melee/ranged perks that are available now. The perks you get automatically per class can be selected manually.
And if you really want to go big, maybe add terrain/cover or something like that.

-Skills and strategies.
Currently, the pirate base is the best part of the game. Because it offers more options than just charge in and fight everything. I'm missing more of those options. Laying traps, maybe I can lure the big guard away from his post. Sabotage, I throw a lust grenade in an air vent, now in the next fight the enemies start with some lust damage. Size matters, if I play a small character I can crawl under something, or when I play a tall character I can climb on the roof. This makes me feel like an adventurer.

-Info.
What is mirrored? What does crushing do? And penetrating? Do I need intelligence for this class? Resist psionic? There are psionic attacks in this game?
If I can hold the mouse on a stat, trait or something like that, and I can get a brief explanation about what it does, that would be great. I know that I can find everything on the wiki, but it would be a lot more convenient if it was shown in the game.
One other thing, the stun combo's are a bit insane. I don't know how to defend against it, and usually when I'm stunned I just get owned.

LIKES

-Character creation.
I can make my character how I want him/her to be. That is great.
-Free.
Thanks to all the backers, other people can play this game for free. A big shoutout to you guys.
-Lore.
With so many races, planets, transformations and more, I really feel like I'm in a different universe.
-Artwork.
Any artwork to help me get a visual is appreciated. I don't mind reading bytheway. Would be cool to see artwork of the planets and locations.
-Loss scenes.
I let my Steele lose on purpose so many times. So thank you for those scenes. Would also like to mention that they are well written.

PREFERENCES/OTHER

-I like futa's but don't like it when they have testicles. When I see 'balls' in such a scene I try to read over it really fast in order to forget.
-I do not like furry.
-I think tails, tattoo's and piercings are obstructions.
-I do like almost all loss scenes for my male Steele character. The latest Nyrea loss scene is very nice. I don't interact with guys though.
-Amara Faell needs a better loss scene. She only puts a collar on your neck and that's it. Don't tease me bro.
-I dislike any transformation on my character. Especially forced.
-You have the option to select different busts for characters if available. Would like to select the earlier bust for Shade. I'm not saying the current one is bad, I'm saying that I was so used to the previous Shade that I rather have no bust than a totally new bust. Same goes for Anno. She looks good on the blog Homepage, even though her latest bust has more...how do you say this? Graphics?

Yeah, that's about it. I know this game isn't made for me personally, but I thought it would be nice if I gave some feedback. Hope it helps.

That's not a reason not to contribute to the wiki! A lot of content still hasn't been added to the wiki, and any help would most definitely be appreciated. Even if the information is invalidated by a new build, just update that using the next public build! There are a lot of ways to help, from this 'review,' to contributing to the wiki, to even participating in discussion. Don't downplay even the most minor contributions!


Otherwise, nice job with the review, even if it is rife with personal opinions ;)

This bit is in game, in the Codex.

Do I need intelligence for this class?

The game tells you this before you confirm which class you take in the beginning. Just gotta read the description. Example:

Tech Specialist:
As a tech specialist, your abilities would rely heavily on your intelligence and aim. You’d learn to work with all kinds of technologies, perhaps even make your own robotic defense turrets! Your intellect would be your greatest weapon, though you wouldn’t shy away from tweaking your own high-tech ranged weaponry. The life of a tech specialist is one of profit through smart decisions and superior technology.


Is this the career you’d like to pursue?


Resist psionic? There are psionic attacks in this game?

isnt that most of this game? 

A Furry in one of Fen's games would be like Amily in CoC.


In TiTs, at most you have a girl or guy with animal ears and a tail.


A Furry in my opinion is defined by the following features:


- Animalistic facial features.


- Tail/Ears.


- Animalistic skin trait (Scaly/furry/Leathery).


- Animalistic genitals.


I'm not really well versed in what a real "Furry" is.


But so far without somebody explaining it to me in detail, this is what I came up with.

TiTS has both furries and monstergirls/aliens-that-are-basically-monstergirls. Heavily leaning towards the latter, happily.

No, you are the only one the impossibility of hyper has occurred to.

I just can't decide should I laugh at them, or would it be laughing at the physically challenged people. Or should I just take it as caricatures, which have little to do with the actual characters appearance? Anyways,  I really want to know how much of the player base is considering it sexy.

Anecdotally: A lot. A big pull of CoC/TiTS is the ability to grow over-sized sexy bits. You see that represented across a lot of demographics that play TiTS but otherwise have little in common, fetish-wise.


I think hyper NPCs is a more Marmite issue, but given Fen has basically built his kingdom on writing an endless stream of tit beasts that slap a massive animal penis in your face the moment they meet you, I'm going to say they're fairly popular as well.

Pretty sure she's a herm with balls, bro.


I don't really care about actual size; it depends on how good the descriptors are. Also to be fair some artists like Adj are known for their proportions.

Sorry, I sort of left off on TiTs after that newest build for the station a little while back.


I don't remember ever seeing the Kitty.


Who is she..?

Monstergirl is a human-based chimeric creature. Furry is much more than fur itself. There are a lot of anatomy details which can work differently, most notably legs (usually digitigrade) and face (muzzle). OFC, there is no strict line. The image of the "furry" catgirl has distinctly human genitalia (bloated breasts and plump lips ARE distinctly human sexual characteristic, aside from the signature penis head shape). As well as hair.


Usually, the borderline is a face and skin, though. Monstergirls have distinctly human face and usually are not covered by animal-like skin/fur everywhere, but only on some "animalistic" parts. Like second image only have fuzzy cat ears.

Em... Close? Katherine is slender and sleek, this one looks like... I have no idea what it is, but there are hundredweight of fat.

Kath might not be that stacked, but her creator sure doesn't seem to think she's slender and sleek.

I'm judging by the in-game description, which is totally different: one breast size less, and she would be easily confused with a guy.

You're saying you don't know thousands of guys with racks that just slightly smaller than hers?

I don't think that this rack is B-cup, which she have in in-game description.

Well funny how we say KAth is not so stacked if in COC we could have amke her grown from her default size to some around E or EE size.

I'm not considering it as canonical. And she doesn't actually like it, so it is an ass move from your side:

Back to my natural size.  Nice, I’ve missed the balance I had when they were this big.

She likes her B-cups the most.

So all that can be in vanilla CoC isn't canonical? I'm quite sure that Kath exp was already part of vanilla CoC.


As PC sub she may like B-cup most as long PC allows to keep them that way (thou i think to get her sub score higher it's req. to up them at least a lil bit)

You can enforce her, but she isn't actually happy with it. So I don't think that it is appropriate to consider it a default option.

Quetion if she just say about not been happy but inside been happy over it. That X-pack back then expanded her toward always been the sub one so not sure if it what she really wanted. Or just that till TiTS time there wasn't room for npc dom and PC sub relation instead of PC always dom and npc's subs.
