We'll have cryogenic freezing, a cure for cancer, and faster than light travel by the time we get to Bangkok.
HTML Female Agent [v1.20.1p] [Crushstation]
This game is a scam, it has been years cycling around the prologue and character customization.
Which have been worked and reworked and reworked for ithe past 3 years.
A real shame, because the game had a ton of potential.
An interesting concept that to my surprise not many devs have looked at.
But, as per last update and i quote from the dude his Patreon page:
The remaining 10% is the dude posting about burnouts, writersblock, stuck with the new engine that will cause a delay.
It is just bullshit and the current patreons are suckered in.
In the end, it is a good scam though donators are suckered in, believing they are supporting a game that has just started development and looks new.
Now and then a new version is released to keep the hype up.
Then the Dev starts to struggle and moans about how hard he sucks.
And then the Dev decides to rework the engine and cut content.
Rinse and repeat.
If you are a supporter, consider asking refunds. Because you are being scammed.

I stand by what I said a year ago. I'm excited to see what Bangkok turns out like, but I won't be waiting around for it.
Testing out the new version, I immediately prefer the older designs, and will not go further than character creation. Since I've discussed gameplay ideas with Crush before, I don't feel comfortable just taking a shit all over their work, but the writing seems pretty clear on the wall.
Trying to be understanding here, I wonder if Crush feels stuck between being unable to continue the story, and too far into this one project to be able to scrap it all and start over with something they actually want to work on. Stuck in a limbo of their own creation, rolling the same rock up a hill over and over again. I hope one day they roll the rock over the other side of the hill.

Crush isn't stuck on anything because he knows exactly what he is doing.

Perhaps. Doubt it's making him happy, tho. The money might, but this endless repetition? It would drive me crazy to work with. But by all means, he's ruined what goodwill the game once had here, so go ahead. Tear it to pieces.
It's called milking, he isn't frustrated or sad.
He raked up so much money by now, he can hire a professional coder AND writer by now.
His endless repetition is also covered by the magical copy/pasta function of his PC.
Just now and then he edits the code and voila, new version and easy money.
His support dropped to 3K a month, a good time to start from scratch, wich i may add.
He did, and i'm convinced that most of his 3K support comes from himself with the simple aim to keeping up appearances.
Nah, this is a scam. And a good one.
He's "only" repeated everything 4 times in 3 years. I don't know about you, but I'd take 4 days/weeks of feeling bad for three whole years of having a pretty amazing income. Yeah I bet coming up with reasons for why X isn't ready each month is stressful, but even then

You're right. If it's a scam, it's been a good one. The constant excuse of perfectionism to remake everything -just right- has prevented the actual progress of the game for ages. That excuse is wearing thin to most outside his patreon echo chamber by now, however. But people give money to the dumbest things on patreon, so 3K is small potatoes, really.
I just know Crush can be a great writer, so it's a shame it turned out this way.
The new three way nerd blowjob scene is actually new, and pretty nice overall. Granted, I'm not entirely sure what purpose it serves but it's still nice to have.
And just for everyone that might come and say "No it's not a scam! And okay he's made mistakes but he's correcting them now!": If he had morals and did acknowledge he didn't do a good job, he wouldn't still be charging as he is. There are many ways to limit patreon income, including just deactivating it for a month and he could've done those at any point. But having it be completely unlimited for any supporters brings in more money

3k? I see 6k ... or do you mean after cuts and taxes?
It might be helpful to step back and contemplate how we might be poisoning our own wells.

The first sexual encounter being with a boyfriend in a conventional relationship at 18 is a huge letdown. Imo, if one doesn't dare to touch all the irresponsible/dumb/otherwise questionable stuff high schoolers get up to, it's best not to interact with that period at all.
I have never heard of a better description of a porn game in quite some time. Especially with that "feature list" how Bangkok will play that was around probably 2-3 years ago.It's the Star Citizen of Porn games
Thy should use that as an ad. ... "Female Agent - The Star Citizen of Porn games" *g*
As this point it is so clear that the Dev only seems interested in an interactive life adventure, which is totally fine but I don't think that is what most people signed on for. But hey they keep throwing money at the game, at the promise of a great game and if that makes them happy?
oh shit, seems like crush stopped paying his fanboy

The changes in 1.8/1.9 are just... unreasonable in every aspect.
Where is all the time (allegedly spent on development) and previously made content went to? It all couldn't just have been lost? I mean I and probably everyone else had to rework things, scrap something that has been previously made but wasn't good enough, right? But I feel like when you rework something you try to incorporate as much of what is already available as possible.Here it all just CUT OUT?! WHAT?!

It's weird, but the more people here moan about Crush and his " milking ," the more money he seems to make on his Patreon account. When I checked a coupld of months ago, it was only something just north of $5,000 a month, and looking just now it's close to $6,000/month. Hmmm....

Yeah, it's pretty clear that Crush doesn't understand what makes for fun games. I hope the game progresses at some point, but no longer count on it.
Prospective patreons please use your money for buying a night with a lady escort at your local stripper club. Bonus points if its an Asian female from the Bangkok region.
It'll be the closest you'll come to experiencing the thigh lands of Thailand ,since this "game" will never go there.
Plus you'll be helping jumpstart your countrys economy !

The funniest thing about this thread is the amount of people who are so invested into counting other people money.
