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

[berny]

Isn't this still just the intro to the game? Setting up the operation in Thailand, and then opening up to secondary missions, stress management, etc?

Nobodoy knows at the moment. To be honest, I'm not even sure the dev does. The development so far has been a complete disaster, any predictions on the future of this game would mean very little anyway. It's best to expect nothing and then be pleasantly surprised if there actually is something worth playing.

iirc I think this was originally supposed to be a sandbox game, but it seems to be increasingly moving towards a linear storyline.

Nah, it's always been rather linear.

Dev said that once you got to Asia, things would be more free, but what's available is very much in line with what existed before.

It was always intended to be an 'open-world' game game in Asia, see this post as an example -

"My vision for Bangkok is repeatable, open-world gameplay to which we continually add new scenes, outfits and story content. There’ll be a repeatable gameplay loop that’s fun/sexy (working in the brothel), plus a continually growing number of side quests and activities that your agent can experience – from buzzing around the Gulf of Thailand on a jet ski, to becoming a Muay Thai champ, to using your spy skills to investigate international organised crime".

Reality has had a view as well and my view a linear path is the best outcome to having something completed. Additional choices and consequences can be layered on afterwards, which will turn into different paths. As someone said already, completing the linear Bangkok route is going to take another 6-12 months. Completing the British/English lifepath would be another 12 months, though the 1.6 Lifepath could be ported over quicker I suspect.

I see. I guess we aren't at the brothel stage yet, we're only serving drinks.

Yep, and you need to add the Crushstation variable here. Crush may decide to get back to the Lifepath, add a side mission or add some more choices to the existing Bangkok content.

He's talking about how GL was essentially ELO abandoned by the original developers and then made into a group project. Different contributors created vignettes and integrated it into the game over the years, which kept (keeps?) the project alive and actively progressing. It's kind of more of a simulation than a directed story.

While I'm still breathing it'll live, don't you worry. Of course being a zombie I'm not sure if I do breathe.

Man this game breaks my heart Crush takes such a long time making these updates, but man do I love the writing and the "slow burn" (which is actually not that slow for me tbh). The scenes are real nice when an update lands.

I only hope he would get his vision together. Sometimes I feel like he's suffering from the same problem I am when writing an essay with a fucked theoreticat/methodological base while not realizing it. Nothing seems to make sense, no clear way forward etc. But I wish him all the best.
If nothing else, I hope it would become a community project like GL (as people have suggested).

He likely does have his vision together; the problem is presumably vision ain't worth shit without a plan. I'm pretty sure Crush has fuck all clue how to actually implement the sandboxy stuff. Chances are his wasting months on every single scene is just his way of avoiding having to finally face that reality.

 

[Sunshine999]

At least now we now what he's spending his time on.

I hope the dev realizes how hopeless it is to try add DRM to an HTML...

Best way to go forward in my opinion is to just drop the agent side of things entirely and rewrite the Bangkok sections to turn the story into the life of a western girl in Bangkok. Would allow the author to keep almost all of their progress without creating a complicated overarching narrative to juggle around. In the end, it's just smut after all.

Huh? Entire premise is about being agent, I mean it is in its name.

that people are still willingly defending his sorry excuse of development is actually fucking insane
please get yourself checked into an psych ward for stockholm syndrome - or come clean that you are either paid by or are the guy himself after he 'left'

The story is completely linear, there isn't much text and little to no artwork. On top of that all the reworks and rewrites.
I don't think anyone working professionally on a game would accomplish so little in so much time. This truly borders on a scam project doing just enough content to keep the money flowing. I'm saying borders because what we do get is pretty good. I feel like the dev actually has some passion at least for writing. I think he started with the best intentions but gave up at some point and simply does a minimum amount of work to not have his game be considered abandoned.

There's a way for her to film a video in this update? I didn't see an option (or was easily missed)

 

[Olivia_V]

Are there any female romance options here?

I think the release title has to do with the club's security cameras, some photos taken by customers while she's coyoting, and Sam's filming of the oil wrestling on stage. There's no specific videoing of the MC.

I don't know Crush's plans in this regard, but I can definitely see room for it once we get to the sandboxy part. Not yet though.

Release title is a clear reference to the MC having sex with Connor, which was caught on security cameras

GTA 6 or Female Agent Alpha, who will come first?

So, nothing with either of the bar girls the agent befriends.
