Yeah, I could see that, though like you indicated: who knows when we'll ever get to Bangkok, let alone when we'll get to any sort of specific content like that.

The triple BJ scene was the first scene in this 'reboot' version that I thought had any flavor. I actually looked forward to see how the game would follow up on it... and it didn't. I guess that'll teach me about getting my expectations up for this game.
And, from my understanding, it was written by a contributor, not Crush.

The new version has the exact same problem I mentioned in a previous post.
I question the ability to choose the intellect and beauty of your character when you can't actually choose.

You have borderline, dull, normal, bright, and superior. But you are only allowed to choose bright or superior if you want play.

Same thing for beauty. You have butterface, plain jane , average, hot, and striking. But you must choose hot or striking to play.

I mean, I get why you have to choose those options of you want to play. You have to be hot and smart to be an agent, especially for the mission you are suppose to go on. But why include those options if they aren't actually an option. Just remove those options and just say the character is hot and smart.
Only this time you have a few more "options" where you can't go below a certain level.

Said it once, will say it again.

So, while Crush is saying that an update is going to be two weeks, I am NOT holding my breath for it to be actually released at the time indicated.
Time work different for Crush as opposed to rest of the world... when he say "it will be done in [x] days" you should understand that as "it will be done in [x] weeks" and when he say "it will be done in [x] weeks" it mean "it will be done in [x] months... if we're lucky"

Another interesting thing to note is that neither the itch.io page nor the official FA website have been updated in months:

Then after releasing it he will find some reason he has to redo it within a year. Starting the cycle all over again. Bangkok 2025

It amazes me how this game has been in development for years, but still not finished. Heck, it hasn't even arrived to the main part yet.
even more amazing is that almost 2.500 people still paying for development of this intro. on may 16th he again postponed new release which in fact will be yet another recycling of same intro.

That is not what is amazing... what is amazing is that this game have less content now then it had a year ago and there is still people supporting the author.
It feels like there is less contact now then when it first released... because of how long it has been in production.

It doesn't "feel like", there is genuinely less story. Before the reboot, it covered the entire story from your character's birth (literally) to the very moment you went to the airport for Bangkok.

Right now, it barely from birth to the first uni years.

True. Imo, it would be better to just scrap the prologue and go straight to Bangkok. Develop the main content & after it's finished, go back to the prologue. At this point, I'm not sure if we would even get to Bangkok.

I actually think his idea of building a semi-open world game is the main flaw. If he'd just had the game be a series of story-based missions, with Bangkok just being the first, he might have actually gotten somewhere by now. I suspect if he ever does get to Bangkok, he will ultimately have to scrap the open world aspects.
It is blatantly obvious he doesn't know how to do open world. He's struggling (for years) to make a linear (with branching but ultimately arriving to the same point) story, and doesn't have experience making anything that would qualify as "open world" (even in the previous version, the "find a guy to take to your room" was still restricted).

If you think "Bangkok is soo far away" is a problem, wait until (if) he gets there. It's going to take at least twice as long to make anything if he does make "open world" but at most he's just going to give you the same linear events, but triggered randomly.
