It truly is baffling that people are still paying this much every month for a game that has basically not evolved at all in three years. If any half-decent developer out there wanted to make some EZ cash, they'd take the same premise and make another game. They'd clearly make a killing.
It truly is baffling that the 41st person reads that 40 people have made this exact same comment over the course of three years, and still thinks it worthwhile to spend lifespan saying it for the 41st time.

If it is so easy, do it.

Oh wow, I didn't expect them to actually advance the main story within the year.

I also didn't expect them to scrap the entire rest of the game's writing for the third time, but I guess it's literally impossible for them to have any kind of progress on that project.

It is not EZ cash, requires more time than you would think. Writing CYOA takes at least 3x more than a straight story per word count. To be a competitor to Crush you would want to put in 20hrs a week developing, then you have the marketing/engagement time. Hard to do with a full time job and not all games attract interest/Patrons. Crush is probably one of the highest grossing written games on Patreon.

You also need your work hours to be uninterupted, and need to put in a minimum of 60 mins at a time for writing. I get interupted all the time in my free time, or lifes mundane jobs take prioirty (cutting the grass). Happy to direct this to another thread as totally off topic.

Just played the new update and wow that was a pretty hectic first day at the club. Groped, walked the streets advertising the club, saw a hardcore G/G show, did blow in the backroom with the VIPS and got rawdogged by the boss. I think Kate will be getting gangbanged on stage within the week if we keep this pace

It does take a great deal of time to write a good branching narrative game, which is why most of them derail. It also takes a more-than-negligible amount of time to write good Patreon posts that draw attention. What we've seen here, is that if you want money, make good Patreon posts. Making a good branching game does not, without good Patreon posts, make money.

Hey guys! We've been fixing some bugs, and working on content this week. As promised last week, we'll drop the general release a few days early this time, on Christmas Eve.
Feedback here, on Discord and in DMs has been greta, so I'm looking forward to getting this out to the whole community! (I've got some comments and reflections to share, but they'll wait until everybody's had a chance to play it.)
Okay that's it for today. See you in a few days with the general release!

Agree that it is not EZ money. Not too sure about the among of work required though. What got us / me captivated was the allure erotic concept of a mind controlled hot female spy misadventures in Bangkok which was strengthen 10 fold by Crush's writing skills.

Back then (even now?) HTML games were all populated by either bare bones script writing with tons of porn videos or males transformed female / sissy games. Crush really shined during that period - well probably now still considering how much he's paid.

Not dissing what you wrote (the programming side probably takes a lot of hours) or what Crush has developed the current platform but I feel if someone with a decent / good enough standard of erotic writing makes a similar game in a much simplier platform but quicker pace, who knows what he/she may bring to the table . Probably wont be anywhere near or even half of Crush's earning though.

I know people are giving you shit for slow progress but honestly good job on just sticking with it. I think most people wouldn't entirely abandoned it by now. As is the case for most games in the genre.

If the new vision is to make a simple visual novel with no branching choices, I'm only intrigued if it actually leads to an increased rate of content creation. If we have to wait another 4 years for the next scene, then I will not change my tune.

As it stands, there are mainly two types of content creators out there: those who regularly output product updates, and those who go for months or years at a time. Out of the latter type, I noticed that they all posted something in November to early December, no doubt trying to get extra subscribers for Christmas spending.
No doubt, I know just what you're sayin'; so please stop explainin'; don't tell me 'cause it butthurts; that we're in Bangkok but you hate to love it, baby.

Wow, I thought the bar shift was extremely hot! I wanted it to keep going. Also hoping to romance Roxy or Amanda? The writing is so vivid, I felt like I was really there, being groped and smelling all the alcohol and sweat and everything else. Agree that more meaningful choices are needed, but even as it is, this is very hot stuff! Also, hope there are more frequent dress-up scenes and clothes/accessories shopping. I think they're so nicely done and really fun.

I've been waiting for this part of the story for a very long time. The wait could've definitely been shortened by a few years... The update itself was actually well written, did many playthroughs checking out the different dialogues depending on how your character looked and behaved; wasn't dissapointed. Wish I had the patreon version to see the difference in having bigger breast as that would have opened up a little more options or dialogue, will donate to their patreon to check it out. Other than that this was a great update.

I gotta say the update was pretty awesome.

I still think the dice rolling was the biggest waste of time and biggest pain ever, but the writing is top notch.

I will wait patiently for more.

1.14 was easily the best update this game has ever had. It felt thorough and detailed. It was hot and definitely set up content for future updates. I particularly liked the quick adventure into the abandoned building. The small side stories have been top notch in this new version. A lot of tension was played appropriately and I look forward to many many updates just like this one. I am a big fan of quality filler and I hope this is one of many updates that keep a consistent but not too fast pace in the main story.

Awesome update. Been a while since the game had such a great content update.

Also for those who want a patreon version, I downloaded the free version and mucked around with the code and got it working somewhat.
I didn't bother testing it out thoroughly, but I was able to get large breast size, multiple kinks and the forward/backward function working.

For those who don't want to download a random file from a stranger, here's how you can do it yourself:
1. Backup the file in case you mess up
2. Open the .html file with an editor, Notepad++, Sublime or VS Code are all pretty good options

Bra size change:
Search for the following string window.functionBraSize = function (braSize, content)

Change the whole function to look like this:
JavaScript:
// BEFORE

/*For braSize and faceShape in the char creation menu*/
window.functionBraSize = function (braSize, content) {
  if (State.variables.thisIsTheFreeEdition && braSize == "large"){
    SimpleNotification.info('Locked', 'Become a *supporter* to unlock the large bra size', {duration: 5000});
    State.variables.kate.braSize = "medium";
  }
  else{
    State.variables.kate.braSize = braSize;
  }
  jQuery.wiki(content);
}


// AFTER
/*For braSize and faceShape in the char creation menu*/
window.functionBraSize = function (braSize, content) {
  State.variables.kate.braSize = braSize;
  jQuery.wiki(content);
}
Multiple kinks change:
Look for the string <<run $kate.kinks.delete("exhibitionist","masochist","submissive")>>
and delete it

Enabling forward/backward function:
Search for the string : Set up a handler for the enabling and disabling of the history-backward/-forward buttons

Make the following changes
JavaScript:
// BEFORE

/* Set up a handler for the enabling and disabling of the history-backward/-forward buttons. */
jQuery(document)
    .on(':historyupdate.ui-bar',
        (function ($backward, $forward) {
            return function () {
        if(State.variables.thisIsTheFreeEdition){
          $backward.prop('disabled');
                  $forward.prop('disabled');
        }else{

        }
            };
        })(jQuery('#history-backward'), jQuery('#history-forward'))
    );


/* Set up a handler for the selection of the history-backward button. */
jQuery('#history-backward')
    .prop('disabled', State.length < 2)
    .ariaClick({
        label : L10n.get('uiBarBackward')
    }, function () {
        Engine.backward()
    });

/* Set up a handler for the selection of the history-forward button. */
jQuery('#history-forward')
    .prop('disabled', State.length === State.size)
    .ariaClick({
        label : L10n.get('uiBarForward')
    }, function () {
        Engine.forward()
  });

// AFTER
/* Set up a handler for the enabling and disabling of the history-backward/-forward buttons. */
jQuery(document)
    .on(':historyupdate.ui-bar',
        (function ($backward, $forward) {
            return function () {};
        })(jQuery('#history-backward'), jQuery('#history-forward'))
    );


/* Set up a handler for the selection of the history-backward button. */
jQuery('#history-backward')
    .prop('enable', State.length < 2)
    .ariaClick({
        label : L10n.get('uiBarBackward')
    }, function () {
        Engine.backward()
    });

/* Set up a handler for the selection of the history-forward button. */
jQuery('#history-forward')
    .prop('enable', State.length === State.size)
    .ariaClick({
        label : L10n.get('uiBarForward')
    }, function () {
        Engine.forward()
  });
Six pack avatar:
If you miss having your heroine show up with a massive six pack, search for sixPack : false and change it to sixPack : true. Don't think there's any text changes for this, but it looks fun anyway.

I typically just edit Sugarcube.state.variables.kate directly.

Don't let crush see this, he'll spend 12 months refactoring the code to add Denuvo or something.

Code:
SugarCube.State.variables.kate.braSize = "large";
SugarCube.State.variables.kate.kinks = ['submissive', 'exhibitionist', 'masochist'];
EDIT: just run the above code for "standard" setup.

Do the larger breasts change anything really?
Yes. Actually, there is content for small brasize as well. I believe the Hard Cock Cafe won't hire you if you don't get nipple piercings as a small breast woman.

There are also numerous passages with sllight differences based on brasize, such as groping scenes, comments on your size, etc.

We'd need actual content to tell.
You're an idiot.
