HTML Female Agent [v1.20.1p] [Crushstation]

[Terakahn]

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.

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.

Well, to be honest, I kind of feel like we will get one or two updates involving Bangkok JUST to say he included Bangkok .....

And then BANG, yet another 'start over' using a 'new format' because the old format was 'hard to code and use the avatar'. Basically starting the whole thing from scratch with already used content.

"This was a fantastic experiment: We saw the heroine get to Bangkok and perform her first mission! It was a great learning experience. One of the things we learned is [some bullshit]. To tackle that issue, we will be rebuilding the entire game from scratch, do that I can implement my vision of Bangkok

Don't forget to update your credit card number, it may have expired in the time it took me to get to this point""

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?

Avatar is crucial for this prologue of game. This eye candy attracts new and unaware audience, remove it and milk cow will suffocate in few months.

They are doing it constantly, we're talking about over 1k posts deleted that criticized this scam of a game (and weren't off topic).
It's better to ignore the thread, the game already has waaay more attention that it deserves.

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.

It's pretty simple: it's the perfect excuse for him to keep postponing and postponing and postponing again. I still recall the avatar from 1.6.3: it was perfectly FINE, it was a really nice addition that didn't need more attention.
More attention should be instead be given to writing and keeping the game as much variable as possible. But it should be clear by now that building a good game it's not the objective of this guy.
The irony is that some time ago (a year or more, lol I'm not even sure) when he decided to remake the game as basic as possible (cutting off like 70% of what was the 1.6.3) the MAIN reason was the slow development (ahahahahh) and he promised the new avatar would make things sooo much quicker and easier. Now guess what really happened.
PS: sorry I just wrote it would be better to ignore this game and I wrote a WOT , I'll do it now

Timelines are tight? What timelines?

He's been working on what seems to be one scene for...two, three months now? In simple text?

Being nice (not the Patreon early release) says he has been working on the update since June 16th, so probably 2 and a half months of full time work from Crush, with a few days for the helpers (code and art) for this update (on the basis that it is delivered end of Aug). But hey, development speed has never been this games strong point so no one should be surprised.

Still maintains over 2k patreon supporters since Aug 19, the man is a genius of the sales pitch and presentation. Strong heartbeat on Graphtreon -

Yes there is much to learn from Crush. One need not make much of a game. One need only present it well on donation sites.

I suspect that many are just happy to pay for the stock images that he uses in posts.

 

[wdf]

Thanks for the updates D4n0w4r. I like to check back on this game once in a while but it's sad it hasn't progressed to any new story or location. BTW is crush saying he's a veteran from that post? Was he serving during a war and has seen action? Is that why there are delays?

 

[asdfasdf12341234ACSACA]

For what it's worth, the guy that looks at the radar screen all day or sends encrypted messages is also a soldier and does little more than your average office worker. And also the guy that spends two months year doing that and then leaves can technically call themselves "ex soldier" as wel.

I have no idea what he actually did as a soldier, I'm just saying that "as a soldier" doesn't say much more than "As an government employee". He could be a war hero for all I care

 

[rbx4]

It doesn't seem relevant. That said, I never knew there were so many ex-soldiers out there until I got into Internet discussions. Seems like they are everywhere. Most especially, if I disagree with someone over something, it usually turns out that they are a war veteran and can't help bringing it up.

It also adds up that writing porn games is exhausting in relation to soldiering. If you look at the illness rate for porn game writers, it must be nearly as dangerous as actually fighting in a war. I'm fairly sure that some of them have acquired battlefield diseases such as Typhus, but we will never know because they are never diagnosed.

Yeah, well. The only problem is, it doesn't matter if you are an "ex-soldier" or "active soldier". When your work ethic is SHIT, there is nobody to blame but YOU for that shitty work ethic. And in Crush's case, the work ethic is "questionable at BEST", painfully dull and slow overall, or simply outright "amazingly nonexistent at worse".

Truth be told, I don't give a flying rat's ass what your "history as a person" might be. Hell, I don't give a swinging donkey dick if you won the Congressional Medal of Honor or simply spent your entire military career sitting behind a desk shuffling paperwork all day. You have a project in front of you. Now do you DO the damn work to keep it going or do you do everything possible to AVOID doing the work? And from what I've seen, as far as formats, working on pointless avatar, "re-boots' using OLD content instead of new, constant "teases" about new content or features that never make it into the game, or simply delaying releases time after time, the obvious answer to ME, is that you are avoiding the work as much as possible.

And here's the thing. It doesn't take a genius, nor a Shakespeare level writing skill. All it takes is a couple of hours a WEEK to write out a scene, 1st read-through, edit, 2nd read-through, make needed changes, 3rd read-through and proof-read to ADVANCE the overall project. In one week, you should be able to knock out a full conversation, or establish a FULL set-up, or create an entire "sexual content section", that actually WORKS as you want it to work. Does it have to be "PERFECT"? No, but it can be acceptable and worth including into the mix. So, a good productive schedule is at MINIMUM of a week to advance the story in one direction or another. Even taking into account a "branching story", you can advance a "branch per week" and still show progress. After a MONTH, that should be at least 4 "sections" of content completely finished on the "creative side".

But you figure, 3-4 months of time between "update/release"? Sorry, but that should be at LEAST 12-16 sections of content COMPLETED and STILL leave you several weeks to iron out any coding issues or avatar problems. And I am being EXTREMELY generous in regards to "start to finish of a section" taking a full week to complete. Most of the time, working with "short sections" as you find in most text-based games, you can easily complete multiple sections in a week. Especially if your only "intention" is to set up a "background", "character", "format of how stats should be tracked" or other "minor aspects" of a game overall. Give me a FULL WEEK, and I can create at least 4 brand new NPC's, possibly their entire "life story" in regard to their main influence on the game, or at LEAST hand over a full list of stats to keep track of and how each stat should be triggered in any given situation. ONE of the above will be "fully completed" for you and you can at least show "progress is being made".

TLDR: Sorry, but your "real-life background" means JACKSHIT when talking about work ethic to get shit done on time.

 

[rbx4]

I agree with the sentiment exactly. However I will point out something: Crush doesn't really do nothing. He works hard---on the scam. He does little or no work on the game itself, but like many other scammers, he works 24/7 on the scam.

 

[Joe Steel]

What Crush seems to be succeeding at is living rent-free in a number of peoples' heads. The number of people spending lifespan creating posts and sometimes writing essays about how they don't care about this game is just astonishing. If you don't care, you'll just ignore this game and thread.

BTW, there is no " Congressional Medal of Honor." There are two flavors of the Medal of Honor (Military and Naval) and a "Congressional Gold Medal." But don't feel bad for not knowing that - even the US Senate web page has it wrong.

 

[rbx4]

Oh no I'm paying very close attention, not to the game, but to how Crush actually makes money. I want to make more money too, and it's very clear that Crush's method is the way to do it. People want scams, probably more than they want real games.
