I was mostly joking when I said the "conspiracy" by the way. The posts were off topic, by any and all definitions. It's just that it was funny, considering that this time specifically it was about "creating some competition".
HTML Female Agent [v1.20.1p] [Crushstation]
My post about the changes to the game code was off topic, "by any and all definitions", for the thread for the game?
Oh, not yours specifically, you were just caught in the crossfire. Same thing happened last time, mods just deleted all posts starting from one date.
Mostly going off topic into accusations of milking and purposefully delaying productive releases in order to "appear busy" while not being capable or able to justify the 'delay vs end-product content'.I'm confused. Has there been a recent purge or are you all talking about the one a couple of months ago?
Edit: I guess there was a second one. After the old one (the one a couple of months ago) I would have agreed with mymain. The kind of post that were deleted back then wasn't funny. This second one seems more reasonable though, at least according to the "surviving" posts. On the other hand, I have no idea what kind of posts were deleted so I don't really know what I'm talking about.
It is what tends to happen on this thread more often than not, and I can see SOME justification for deleting comments now and then. The only issue that I have with the deletion process is that sometimes, you will see a post that is dead-on-target about the game and suggest improvements, also get erased due to being surrounded by 'milking comments'.
So, when you see a number of "removed posts", you will be safer to put your bet on complaints about Crush's "work effort vs output" and "delay vs content" type comments.
It happens. The occasional "on target" post will get removed due to the number of "off-topic posts" before and after it. I mean, if you put a post about 1/2 way through a page of nothing but 'off-topic posts', it is far easier to get rid of the entire page instead of saving that 'one comment' that might be on topic, but doesn't match 'on topic posts' by other users for 2-3 pages later on.
I'm not usually a big fan of text based games without media, but this one works. I remember finding this a while back and it never clicked but this time it did.
I do wish choices made a bigger impact though.
Like nationality, clothes worn, etc. I do like the addition of a dice roll mechanic though. Do you have other missions planned? Even though there's a lot of content, for some reason it feels a bit short. I suppose a lot of that has to do with the remake being done though.

I noticed a lot of attention is being placed on the avatar, instead of coding or writing, or editing.
Look, I get it. This is Crush's game and all. But seriously, is the "Avatar issue" really THAT important at this point? Haven't we seen enough evidence through prior releases that the Avatar is basically pointless as the majority of the time it is simply there doing NOTHING worth notice? I get it, he wants an avatar on screen. But come on, this is supposed to be an avatar that represents the player. Shouldn't it do something as basic as "assume the position" of whatever act that I am involved with? Just how many times do we have to sit there looking at the avatar in the same pose, often with the same clothes, doing nothing but the occasional "dress-up doll" changes and nothing else?
Ah, so the avatar goes 'nude' when sexual content is going on, and has some odd facial expression take place. But can the avatar at LEAST represent being on my knees, or back, or hands and knees AS WELL?
ARGH! God-damn-it! Crush posts some comment about focusing on the avatar and instantly suckers me into pointing out just how flawed the avatar-system is and why it should have no impact whatsoever on production schedule when you have weeks/months between updates.
Avatar is one of his Achilles heels so to speak. Very easy to fall into the trap you outlined with ‘extra’s’, and it never helped with 1.6.3 where he just kept adding cool effects. One of those horrible design decisions, how far do you go with the visual novel aspect as the more avatar interaction the more you are heading towards visual sex scenes. Or you just leave it for dress up, and head shots (expressions).

You have to wonder how much faster the dev's progress starts moving if someone decides to do a competent 'fan' remake of this game with actual progress and starts swooping up all the Patreons he's milking. Seems like some easy money, provided you have the ability.
Blame the self fulfilling feedback he asked for.
A while ago he basically asked "Should we continue doing the avatar? Yes or no?". Unsurprisingly, most people said yes, it's like asking "do you want extra fries?". If it doesn't say "It's going to cost you more and you'll have to wait an extra hour" you're not really going to say no.

What like with imperium? Lol
I'd actually love to see a real porn version of this game but I doubt it'll happen.

More or less. Doesn't even have to be real porn. Would just be interested to see what the result of a little competition would be.

Please no. I'm so tired of devs putting random porn images in their games, completely ruining my immersion. A porn actress will never be a secret agent.
But secret agent can be a porn actress, duh...
Being serious, as long as writing is good I don't mind a new only text or real porn or 2DCG or whateverCG clone.

Depends on the game. A good dev wouldn't use random images, they'd fit the scene and character. I think the visual element of an real actress and the right scene adds immersion. And besides. They are still actors right. It's kind of in the job to be someone you're not. Even in that industry =p
That's why I always believed in writing the scene no matter what. If you can't find an image to match the scene as it is written, then don't use an image at all.
Images should only 'enhance' the writing, not MANDATE it.
Last thing I want is someone to have a "perfect image", create an entire scene around that image, put it into the game, and then have to justify the use of that image later on because it just doesn't 'properly flow' with the rest of the project at all.
There hasn't been any new content for like a year, the fuckers are still re adding content that was previously removed for the sake of a shitty UI change no one asked for. It's such a disappointing joke.
I'm guessing it's because they have no plan in terms of writing out the rest of the plot...It's been a year and he still barely has any idea what to write. He's literally just spinning his wheels in mud.
