Suspending Charges! - Going On Hiatus and the Future of the Game

Hey everybody. The next update (v0.17 - Foundation) is coming out very soon, but I wanted to make all of you aware that, after it comes out, we'll be suspending the development of Titans In Towels for an indefinite amount of time. We'll also be suspending all patron charges while this page remains active. The simple truth is that both Danko and I are burnt out from working on this game for so long, and though I am firmly committed to this game's future, the two of us need to take some time of...

Progress Update! - Tons of Design Changes

Hey everyone, it's been a while! Danko and I have been hard at work, but the update is still going to be another two or three months at the soonest. In the meantime, I'd like to give you guys a rundown of a few of the major changes and upgrades we've made to the game's design. 

As usual, these systems are subject to change and what you see in this post may not be exactly what you see in the game when the next update is released.  But it should give you an idea of where my head...

Progress Update! - Design Changes, The Roadmap, and A New Face

Hello everyone! I've got a few different things we'd like to share with you, including some core design changes, a general roadmap to completion, and some new character art! 

A Deeper Experience

I'll start with the big one: dropping the Affinity system. A few months ago, I talked about changing the game's progression to rely only on one stat, which we called Affinity. My goal was to simplify the game's resource grind in order to make unlocki...

Progress Update! - A Glimpse of the Future

Hi everyone! As the plans for v0.17 solidify and our timeline goals get locked down, it's looking like it's gonna be a while before we're able to release the next update. So we're going to try to do regular progress posts like this one to show off what we've been working on!

This time, we've got quite a bit to talk about. In our last few posts, we've been mentioning how we want to re-commit to the original premise of the game in a more thoughtful way. I think it would be helpful then fo...

URL Updated!

Hi everyone! We figured everyone had a chance to see our post about the name change on Friday, so we've updated the URL to our new name!

The URL for the page is now: https://www.patreon.com/TitansInTowels 

The Name of the Game: Titans in Towels!

A couple of weeks ago, we told you guys that we wanted to sharpen our focus and work on making the game more immersive. And as part of this re-dedication to our original vision for the game, we decided that we would be changing its name!

The name of the game is now: Titans in Towels

We'll give everybody a few days to read this post, but we'll be updating the URL to match the game's new name. We'll make another post at that time.

We chose this name because we wanted ...

The Name of the Game: A Soft Reboot

Hi guys.

After finally working on the Jinx, the last character without an update so far, we've realized that the foundation that the game is built on is too weak. The content we had planned for the game felt disconnected, disjointed, and it didn't justify the existence of the open world. Looking ahead on our internal roadmap, we began to understand that the open world was intensely underutilized. Games like RDR2 or KC:D use their open worlds to create real experiences and atmosphere, wh...

Taboo Titans, Bugfix Update! v0.16-2b

Changelog:

• Fixed a bug causing a crash when using the tension scanner on Starfire
• Fixed a bug causing a crash during Raven's repeatable library h-scene

What kinds of h-scenes do you guys prefer?

Real talk for a second, guys.

Now that we've finalized our game's structure and we've got a much clearer roadmap for future updates, we have started to rethink what kinds of h-scenes are right for our game.

The massage scenes have a lot of moving parts and are a lot of work to design, balance, and draw/animate. As we lay out the finer details of our internal roadmap, we're seeing that the amount work that goes into each girl's massage scene will increase with every update, leaving...

Taboo Titans, Tech Update v0.16-2

This is just a tech update so there's no new content, but it's a pretty important one!

We're making some pretty big changes to the way that the game is structured. Before, each girl would have an introductory scene and then three separate routes that would all be given the same care and attention.

But the problem with writing a game like that is that it's next to impossible to give each route an interesting story that makes logical sense. The amount of time and work it would take ...

Taboo Titans, Bugfix Update! - v0.16e

Changelog:

• Fixed a bug causing Raven's massage portrait to stay on the screen after the second reading roleplay scene in "Wordplay"
• Fixed Starfire not being scannable using your communicator

This version of the game is compatible with saves from previous v0.16 updates.

Taboo Titans, Poll for the Next Update! (v0.17)

Hi guys! We are asking once again for your feedback, because we want to hear what you want in the next update!

Our policy is to never work on content for the same girl two updates in a row! So that means Starfire is off the list for now! Pick between either of Raven's two remaining routes, Jinx's introduction quest, or choose to let us do what we want!

Remember that everyone gets a vote, but some votes are worth more than others! Hands-On supporters get x2 voting power, and Full-B...

Bugfix Update! - v0.16d

Changelog:

• Fixed a visual bug causing the screen elements in Raven's makeout scene to appear in the wrong layer order
• Fixed an instance where Starfire said her own name instead of Jinx's
• Fixed an instance where Starfire said her own name instead of the player's

Bugfix Update - v0.16c

Changelog:

• Fixed an error causing the game to crash when asking Raven if she wants a massage after knocking on her bedroom door
• Fixed a bug causing Raven's massage portrait to stay on the screen after her massage scene had ended
• Added a variant to a scene in Starfire's intro quest for when Jinx is not in the kitchen

Bugfix Update! - v0.16b

Changelog:

• Fixed a bug causing Starfire to stay in her super suit during massages
• Fixed a bug causing the game to crash whenever you selected "How are you?" in Starfire's overworld chatting menu
• Fixed a bug where Starfire's sports bra was not properly hidden under her supersuit in the overworld
• Fixed a bug where Starfire's cell number was not showing up in the communicator

Update Released, Starfire's Intro! - v0.16a

Here it is guys, v0.16 of Taboo Titans! This is the first Starfire update, which means that you can now talk to Starfire more, get to know her better, and finally get your hands on her!

With Starfire, we've done some things a little differently that we'd like your feedback on! In particular, I think her massage scene is a big improvement over Raven's. It's more streamlined, more interactive, and earning trait XP is much easier to understand.

We'll list out the full changes in the ...

Update News - We hear you loud and clear!

From this most recent update, we've been hearing from a lot of you that there are some serious problems with the current movement system. The elevator in particular is a bit of a nightmare, and having to go back to your room to pass the time can get really annoying!

So in the next update, we'll be adding a feature to remedy those problems! Introducing: The Spectre Cigar!

We'll let you dis...

Bugfix Update! - v0.15e

Changelog:

• Fixed some issues with Raven's portrait during the makeout minigame

Minor Announcement!

Hey guys! I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm making some minor changes around the page and Discord server. We're going to be dropping the Electrum Games branding, and dedicating this page entirely to Taboo Titans. So if Danko or I ever make another game, we'll make another page to fund it so that it's easier for everyone to tell where your money is going.

So note that if any of you have the old URL for this page bookmarked: 2022-01-21 07:13:55 +0000 UTC View Post
