What the hell is Crush even doing? All he had to do was write a few scenes to bridge from university to the start of the Bangkok mission, and maybe a few extra lines for things like Kate being a CIA officer who went to Harvard, rather than an MI6 agent who went to Oxford. Instead, from what I can glean from the last few reports, he is significantly changing/removing stuff from the lifepath that was perfectly fine. Nuts.

That is a completely wrong, it should say "6 Days of Research Later"... with followup being "Nah, I don't like the sentence, let's rewrite it"
That's also completely wrong, it would be like this "6 Weeks of research later".... Followed by "Nah, this life-path needs a rework, let's rewrite it. But, to show i am reaaaaallllllllyyyyyyyy working get this: Now Connor is a nice guy! You know, that guy that fucked you to get the job? That one, now he will do the same but call you beautiful gurl <3"

One of the things I like most about this game is that in the latest version you can create your character relatively quickly, without much backstory and with basic body options.

I don't know what all this life path stuff is about, it's such a mess :FacePalm:. Why not continue the story in Bangkok?

Sometimes when a developer really wants to milk people, they make a grand sounding, completely fake system that they can constantly claim needs tweaks instead of doing any real work. And the pay pigs will give them fistfuls of money for this fake drea..

Dude, you've got this all wrong. A story that kicks off rapidly into a snappy, action packed tale of undercover espionage mixed with sexy spice??? That's so passé, so yesterday.

No, no, no, you need to play an extended multi-hours long prologue to become fully versed in how your heroine lost her virginity, flirted with her college professors and partied during her year abroad in order to appreciate the monumental story to come. Only then will you be worthy of experiencing our dear Kate's transformation when she was sent to Bangkok and became a..... well nothing at present. Not a damn thing. But eventually, maybe, in the distant future, depending on the dev's level of frazzletude, something espionage related or bargirl type stuff might possibly happen (no promises of course)! In the meantime, enjoy the endless story introduction (once the testers get done writing it)!

This just appeared in my inbox

Hey guys. It’s been another long week of writing, this week mainly focused on the ‘GTA BJ’ scene from . Revisiting it, I didn’t like what we had (and some of it didn’t make sense based on some other changes) so I’ve tweaked and rewritten parts of it, incorporating it back into the new Lifepath.

I pushed it out for testing tonight and, in the interests of transparency, the two pieces of early feedback I got were mixed – feedback did include “sexy and well written”, but both testers felt like I’m pulling back from a certain possible outcome they’d like to see in the scene.

It’s 2040hrs and I’m just totally exhausted, so I’m going to sleep on the feedback (and probably mull it over while I work on the next thing). Ultimately, I can only write the story I wanna write, if I try to please everyone I’ll end up pleasing no one. But the feedback on previous tests has helped improve my drafts a fucking lot so maybe they’re right about this, too.


Next task

One of the things I have always hated the most about Female Agent – especially the Lifepath – is how many passages you have to click through before you get to a choice. It makes replays fucking tedious and daunting. There’s always going to be some of that, but I’m trying to add new decision points where possible, and streamline where they’re not.

I’ve already done this with two of the ‘foreign adventures’ from the Lifepath – Switzerland (for elite heroines) and Corfu – which means the African adventure feels flabby and tedious by comparison. I’m going to tighten it up to match the others, and also sex it up in a certain place. The aim is to make the Lifepath more fun and engaging.

I’ll get onto this first thing tomorrow. Guys I’m sorry everything is taking so long. I’d get started on the Africa thing tonight if I could, but it’s nearly 9PM and I’m just too frazzled to keep going. I’ll get an early night (I’m exhausted!) and resume tomorrow. ❤‍

You miss the real point: According to Crush, EVERYTHING so far has been prologue, even the stuff in Bangkok. The prologue won't be over until she becomes a bargirl. So now he's into his eighth year in this game and he's still writing the prologue -- and because he will never write her becoming a bargirl, the game will NEVER be out of the prologue.

Imagine the target showed up at the bar before Kate was a bargirl. Target caught, game over.

And that's the reason for all the wasted time with the stuff before life as an agent, just to lengthen the content :illuminati:.

Obviously Kate won't say, "OK, I'll bargirl -- oh wait, there's DEVILFISH, I'm out of here." The actual story could proceed in many different ways, but Crush won't start to tell the fucking story. We all know that the infinitely recursive loop of revisions and restarts will continue after the prologue ends, so moving things into the actual story wouldn't cut down on his development cycle one bit. Crush is just aware that he's incapable of making things interesting once Kate becomes a bargirl. Not that the last several updates have been interesting anyway.

It's a porn game just make Kate fuck her damn way up inside the bad people organization until she reaches the baddest guy of the bad guys and dunno make people choose; Katy likes this so she becomes the baddest guy of the baddest people girlfriend/whore or whatever or just make her complete mission and develop this idea a bit.

Not that hard.

This is not Memento or Inception. Just stick to the damn premise of the game.

Y'know, I wonder if this is part of the problem of the game having been in development for so long. Crush's tastes in sexual fantasy have probably changed/matured over the near decade of development. Perhaps prostitution/exploitative sex isn't as appealing to him as it was when he picked the premise, and he is now fruitlessly trying to adapt his existing game to his current tastes?
