What are your gripes/criticism of TiTs?

[criticAlls]

Oh no, you don't beat xenophobia with violence, because that proves to them that they got to you, a win for them.
You beat it by having Riya's attitude bite her in the ass and you suggest she gets posted elsewhere....like a station above a heavily Taur world. You let her wallow in the mess that she caused for herself.

I beg to disagree. Let's show her her own bad end by dragging her somewhere dark and unmonitored and then proceed to collapse her face into her skull. Problem, meet solved. Brutal efficiency can solve a lot of problems.. maybe not well.. but, hey. Who said anything about solving the problem in a good way? I mean.. why force her to some place where her misery would only breed significantly more misery? Who are you punishing? The entire station?

Saving/Loading takes an eternity, and there are no shortcuts to do either. I just really really really really want my old CoC quicksave/load hotkeys back.

I think that's highly dependent on what you're running TiTs on, or were you talking about the process?

Too many bimbos. I mean, honestly, not everyone's into people so sexed up that they can't even remember their own names.
On the flip side, however, I really like that the game feels more like a game with porn than a porn game, if that makes sense. It's not all "hey cute alien lets fuck", there's an actual story with characters and an end goal. It's nice!

Stella is a fair middleground. Rare, but she's present! (and then there's the myriad shopkeeps that pretty much are "hey cute alien let's fuck", as you put it).

Overall, I agree. It's still very porn-y of course, but it's not like we've already found the perfect balance for explicit, adult-oriented games juuuust yet. At least not until concepts like this gain more of an appeal while still being written for the love of it (and the relatively niche audiences that inspired it).

I bet now Franks will do (yet another) Riya xpac just to fuck with you and the rest of the Riya murderboner squad.

 

[Aullama]

That escalated quickly.

I wanna open her content up to include traps, but there's no ETA on that so don't get your hopes up for seeing it any time soon.

I-is...is that how it works?

 

[Linarahn]

I mean...it's far from an optimal solution but I do my very best to just not engage the character. I'm sure Franks did a great job writing her content but when you have to deal with people like her IRL, meeting them in fiction isn't exactly what you're looking for, unless they're specifically there for escapist catharsis.

Moving on....with Vesperia being just below Canadia Station and Embry talking about her home planet (and New Texas being accessible), I'm really, really curious to see the planets themselves in more detail and learn about their culture. Ideally after the main quest has made progress, since I'd expect those places to be diversion/side quest material.

 

[SlamAzz]

Just more maleherm and cuntboy characters/stuff tailored for PCs with those genders.

I'd write it, but I have 0 time at the moment. Perhaps when I get a break...

You could always commission it, I'm sure someone would be willing.

Content locked behind perks or certain body size.

 

[General Nuisance]

This isn't really a gripe or anything, but any species with more than two arms just plain freaks me out.

Spoiler: Possible Unpopular Opinion

Especially the Gold Myr Queens. They're everything I find disturbing, from Giantesses to Multiple Tits. Everything about them sends shivers down my spine, and NOT the good kind, so I avoid them more than the plague.

Aww, that's a shame. But I get it, on humanoid characters, multiple appendages we as humans don't have can be freaky.

In reverse, I wish we could at least get the option to have more than one set of arms but since that would make any future scene a pain in the ass (since people would expect multi-arms being acknowledged) and especially combat (so why CAN'T we pull a Dane and wield two knives and two pistols at once?) would get more complicated in the long run, for balance reasons. As long as the likes of TiTS and CoC remain pure text games, I can't fault the content creators for not letting us have this.

I mostly agree except regarding the giantess aspect, heh.

Not like it bothers me. I mean I don't engage with her really and can't help but respect the fact that she's willing to do her job despite her biases. Not everyone could peel their personal feelings off of their professional lives as well as she does. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if she still actually takes all complaints and issues seriously regardless of who they came from and who the victim/perp is. While her personal beliefs and how she acts on them aren't great, she's shown a lot more integrity than most people and you've gotta respect that.

Really, I'm more content to leave her alone, my response was just toward the person saying that you can't beat xenophobia with violence. Like.. I'd say it's pretty beaten if the person/people that harbor it is/are dead AF. If there's one thing that human history has taught me is that it takes only a few determined people to make long-lasting change with violence whereas it takes a massive amount of extremely determined people to make long-lasting change without it.

Sure, one could use the defense that my "solution" only solves the immediate problem, and they'd be right, yet that's all I was really trying to "solve."

The only thing I can say about her is that it'd be nice to sort of have a "begrudging mutual respect thing going on" for those of us that don't like her, like we earn her respect through our actions in the same way she has done in regards to us the players. Like no more insults and any time we need to interact it's kept respectably professional, even if a bit "cool," yet not quite "icy." For all I know this is already in, I don't interact with her enough and stopped playing the game a little while after 0.7.111 came out because I wanted to wait for the space-combat update. (It's been a long wait, lol.)

Anyway, don't misunderstand. At least she's not tied to some combat mechanic and progressing it like that one guy was. I don't have a "murderboner," I was just showing that if you don't care how well something "solves" a problem then violence can do a lot for you.

 

[ScarletteKnight]

"That one guy"?

 

[OatmealNookie]

Saving/Loading takes an eternity, and there are no shortcuts to do either. I just really really really really want my old CoC quicksave/load hotkeys back.

My #1 as well. I alt-tab to something else, then have to wait until that makes me wait to tab back.
Although I am unsure if I really want quick save/load hotkeys with optimized serialization,
or just a user definable periodic autosave; and a 1 step "back" button.
It's really a question of good UI design, and if an element really involves meaningful user input or is just an artifact of the Matrix architecture.

You might need to look at the ram and disk usage if saving takes time.

 

[ChromaTaphore]

It's needlessly difficult to get tentacle arms to the point where I think they were commented out.

 

[Raskputin]

"That one guy"?

I could be wrong, But I think they're talking about Kelt from CoC, who was a tremendous asshole to the PC, but you had to interact with him several times up to the point of blowing him if you got unlucky, in order to learn the bow skill, which helped with a lot of the mid tier enemies

 

[Hanzo]

The lust damage cap, it's so abrupt. Maybe implement some kind of damage scaling before hitting it?

Something like this:
Let's suppose an attack that would deal 30 lust damage. The first 15 remain untouched, but the second 15 get scaled down by half, so the actual damage is 22 (15+7).

Sounds like it, yeah. I'm not 100% sure but I seem to remember either the Revamp or the Xianxia mod added a way to learn the bow skill without having to put up with Kelt (unless you're either really into that somehow or just want to turn him into Kelly).

I'm just glad nothing like a useful skill is locked behind characters like Riya or Akane. Lesson learned, I suppose?

Akane quest does have those sweet ass weapons though.

What weapons would that be?

I'd be sad if the Shock Gear was stuck behind content I couldn't enjoy though.

Looks like these two, according to the wiki: https://wiki.smutosaur.us/TiTS/Dancing_Flashblade https://wiki.smutosaur.us/TiTS/Lash_Cannon Seems like good stuff, but reading about Akane's content makes her a big "nope" for me.

 

[Linarahn]

Aight, thankee.

 

[Xeivous]

To be fair, Akane's stuff is only really sweet currently. It's likely to be outgrown by whatever the final boss of Zeng-shi drops or whatever garbage you get from the next planet's mooks and merchants.
