It's what make the thread so great: it's like a behavioral experiment where people are trapped on a remote island, with the possibility but not the actuality of rescue. Supplies from apparent shipwrecks show up rarely, welcomed with much rejoicing. Occasionally, a new person is stranded only to find that all conversation topics had been exhausted long ago. Still, people are trapped and must chat about something even if it is forbidden, leading to fascinating interactions.

Well, it's either that, or : You got some flint? The night is going to be cold, I need to start a fire...

everything interesting hat could be said about Crush not progressing at anything like a reasonable rate was already said by the end of 2019.
You forget the world has changed since then. Nobody was cracking any "with all the 'I have a plan for this to happen by Monday, sorry, I mean in 4 weeks' chaos I wonder if his day job is Covid mismanagement" jokes in 2019!

It's fucking scary to think that compared to half the governments in the world, this guy seems well-organized...

Hey guys! I'm grateful to those who made offerings to on my behalf, because she blessed me with another greta week.
I think the writing will be ready in 1-2 weeks, which means Early Access is 2-3 weeks away (we need a week or so for technical pre-release tasks).
This week I was working on the new sex scene, and I'm really excited about it. It isn't coming out anything like I planned, but I think it's super hot.
Okay, short report this week because I wanna get back to working on the scene. Have an awesome Sunday everyone, and I'll report on progress
next weekend.

There's 2 versions of it.. so u must count both of them together + at first it was just hobby making it

No we don't have to count both. And he released it with a patreon so I very much doubt it stayed just a hobby long. I have seen the creator blow this game up 2x now and still release less than 10 minutes of content in what seems to be 6-12 months time. There are so many better games with creators that put in the time for free or way less support... Crush is the king of milking it whether he is intentionally doing or not at this point.

than you misunderstand the mood in general in this message board
Nah I understand it, but I have fully accepted the situation and I only laugh at it now. I don't ask "how can it be like this?" anymore. I accept that it is like this, and I laugh at how it could be imagined to be otherwise!

You have to understand that not everyone is at the same stage of grief as you:
denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance

I think hallsigns is still at stage 2.

Oh, on the topic of off topic. Very few posts get removed from the Girl Life thread, I haven't noticed any over the last couple of years but mostly the thread does stay on topic so hard to compare directly.

But at the same time, Girl's Life provides enough content, with DEEP content updates close enough together that finding something 'else' to discuss gets kind of difficult at times. Not to mention that the "team" working on GL are rather active with the community and you can find a back-and-forth interaction addressing most of those 'off topic' issues BEFORE they become a large issue overall.

So, good flow of updates, nice addition of content, active participation with community.... GL discussions tend to stay 'on topic' because that is the way a project should be handled with the fanbase. Not a 'reboot', then a 'format change', followed by one delay after another like FA tends to do.

Unsurprisingly, threads with few off-topic posts have few off-topic posts deleted for being off-topic. Also unsurprisingly, threads with many off-topic posts have many off-topic posts deleted for being off-topic (and then on-topic posts deleted because they contain references to the off-topic posts). That's the way moderation works.

It would be interesting to compare dollar-per-word-published compensation for developers of games like FA or New Life or Witch Hunter Trainer are compared to that of a professional novel writer. Would someone like Steven King change careers if he knew? :unsure:

Stephen King porn game when?

Seeing as writers sometimes write using a pen name to try something different than what they're known for, what do you think a good SK Porn game writing name could be?

Stephen Kink? Stefani Kink? (for that feminine touch) Though I suppose he could start writing it as Richard Bachman, even though that's known already to be a pen name for him.

I kind of would like a horror porn game in Stephen King style. I do like his writing. Of course, it being Stephen King, he'd actually finish the thing and not get as much money writing his porn games, not understanding the point isn't to finish it if you want to make money, but just keep giving people tidbits to keep them donating to you.

Of course, with his prolific writing style, he could write and finish 10 porn games, and just slowly feed his patrons tidbits until each game 'finished' being made (say 7 years per game) and if he dies mid milking, his family can take over the milking business by 'finding' his lost completed games, and get paid to 'search' for more of SK's 'lost' games...

Stephen King was already pretty smutty as is. Take into account some of his works like, say, The Lawnmower Man, or that one specific sewer scene in It that is always censored for horribly obvious reasons. He'd probably get banned off of Patreon asap.

Yeah, that sewer scene got me when I was little. I was like, wait, they're my age.... and they're doing.. that? Was my first Stephen King book because it was in a big pile of my mom's books.

Lol no - I'm at acceptance. I accept that the creator of the game is milking it either intentionally or unintentionally is pointless to debate. But as is this game is not moving forward and will fail to provide for the original premise it was going to have. I hop in here literally about every 3 months. Regardless, people that worship the creator in his discord need to realize that just because they support this creator and game, doesn't mean everyone posting in here does.

Hey guys! This week, I finished the main writing draft for this episode. At last!
This episode has been through some contortions to reach its final form. In each version, the same plot events take place, but it took me a few tries to make them take place in an engaging way. I'm happy with it now.
I transcribed my draft into a storyboard, organised into 328 passages.

The final step is to convert the storyboard into working game code so you can play it!
Next week, our lovely illustrator Victoria and her production assistant Jeff Monke will be hard at work creating the final art assets, and I'll be hard at work coding the storyboard scenes into the engine. 1.15 will be in Early Access Soon™.
Okay, that's all that happened this week! I'll work hard and do as much as I can next week, and will report back next weekend. Have an awesome Sunday. ❤

This dude'd make more money with less effort if he just sold storyboards to his patrons rather than the game.
Hell, he should start including storyboard pdfs in his patreon backer tiers and milk it even harder.

Oh come on. That's not fair. You KNEW there was going to be yet another excuse for yet another delay at this point. This is like being upset that the sun came up on Monday and Tuesday when it comes up EVERY day. (ROFL)

Seriously though? THIS is the excuse we are going to get for yet another delay? Wasn't the last update praising himself (yet again) about the amount of work he was already putting into the next update? NOW we got to find out that he is having to "code it all in" AND there is a "team" of people working on the avatar that...... Remind me again, what purpose DOES the avatar have other than just standing there with the occasional lack of clothes and odd expression?

So... ten weeks for an "Ultimate Final Master Mk3" storyboard for one (!) scene? Any real media production company would fire a lazy bum like that, without a care in the world if he's technically a perfectionist idiot who flat-out refuses to learn to work to a deadline.

Probably best thjat he's self-employed, then. There are usually a lot more than one scene per update, as well, so your starting assumption is likely false.
