Is it the same runaway dog he struggled to catch because the massive blue balls he gave himself writing the sex scenes for 1.16 slowed him down?
You being sarcastic or serious?
People brought up covid because that's how long it took him to start bangkok... It took him over 2 years. Joke is that he is slow...
EDIT: Opps I didnt know he got covid...

Oh he feel rough, what a lucky guy.
I bet he got it in office, oh wait he quit his job to work on FA.
BTW I lost an assosiate of my to covid, i know how it looks like.
No friend, if you go to page one of this same thread, you'll see the first reactions to the game were in Sept 2017. If my math is correct, it's been more than 5 years to get to Bangkok and now she's starting? side quests in the club.
As a COVID survivor myself, I've no doubt it's rough so I wish him a speedy recovery and a speedier conclusion to our Female Agent's mission (main route). The reason I asked is, for comparison, a simple game like Skyrim took 6 years to complete, while another poster estimated this opus might take till end 2025 at least (8 year cycle). Looking at the Patreon page and this one, I've noticed the moderators are actively deleting posts, such as Patreons who hold him accountable in the last update.
While I wish this game all the best, perhaps, may I suggest that more energy is directed to writing the main story than updates and moderation. Feedback, whether negative or positive should be accepted openly right? Of course, this is just my opinion. I've read of some mythical storyboard or plan, so maybe someone like a mod could hold the team accountable to timelines? Some (hopefully) constructive suggestions for Crush.
See everyone in 2026 (just in case). Trust that we'll have a complete game by then, will gladly pay whatever Crush is charging for final release.
Crush does not view this site much, but as a general question how much do updates and community engagement go to keeping the funding high? I have a feeling that Crush's community engagement is time well spent from a commercial point of view. Clearly less so on the productivity side. I'm slightly surprised that the Patreon posts are being deleted, Crush tends to tolerate criticism.

I know I'm going to regret it, but how does comparing a game made by a team of professionals (
You must be registered to see the links
) to a game being developed by a single amateur makes any sense to you?It's not really a fair comparison, big companies just work differently. If anything, I think it would be much, much better to compare it to one of the hundreds of indie games out there.
In any case, the main difference is scope. Skyrim is obviously (or at least I hope it's obvious) a game with a MUCH bigger scope than this.
If you look at popular indie games though, you can see the development time is hardly ever above 3 years. Just to give three examples:
- Hades. Roguelite with a fair amount of character dialogue. Three years, team of 20 people
- Hollow Knight. Metroidvania, also some dialogue and lore but arguably more focused on the gameplay itself. Three years as wel, team of three people
- Doki Doki Literature Club: I think this is, in many ways, the fairer comparison. It's a VN (using a platform that is also pretty popular for lewd games, funnily enough). Two years development time, and also the (solo) dev's first game.
Now, just to give the dev a little bit of leeway, let's also consider the following two games:
- Stray (Released a few months ago) started development in 2015 apparently. It was announced in 2020 though.
- Cuphead was made by two people and it took five years.
I don't think Cuphead is a fair comparison again however, since it went for an incredibly specific "development work" (handdrawn animation) that is inherently more time intensive

I know that, hence me asking cheesepie for his justification. Call it a morbid curiosity.
As for the rest of your post I agree with you. You can add even more examples like Stardew Valley, Inscryption or Minecraft to your list.
But ultimately us discussing this won't change anything. Crush is an extremely slow (one and a half update this year, with a slim chance of rounding it to the whooping two) 'developer' (but mainly an aspiring writer) who won't change as long as his patreons are happily bankrolling this quest for unreachable perfection.
Brilliant. If Crush ever runs out of promises to make, he can always offer backers "I bankrolled the quest for unreachable perfection and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" t-shirts.

I didn't see any patreon posts being deleted but I don't follow it religiously. There are still some fairly critical posts up on the previous couple updates. As far as this thread....I mean it's 90% just talking crap about Crush's ongoing milking so not sure why anything other than personal attacks would get deleted.
Last time I saw a post of mine actually disappear here was me replying to a guy who devolved into personal attacks. I don't think the general "Crush is slow, milking, deceiving his herd...err patrons, etc" really gets moderated.
It's super easy to play in patreon mode for free...

Ok so other than Crush taking fucking ages to make any semblance of progress, can we talk about how in 5 years since the “first Sexpionage RPG” was announced only one mission with sexpionage has been adapted. 5 years and this sexpionage game has had to one scene where the heroine sleeps with someone for information, and it’s entirely skippable! For some reason crush decided to rope corruption into sexpionage. So instead of streamlining everything and possibly saving lots of lines of codes to be written, we instead get entire updates filled with how the heroine is so embarrassed that her superiors will see her naked. What a load of Garbo. Crush had a perfectly good thing going in 1.6.3, and has instead extended the dev time beyond reasonability.
Just wanted to write this because I know Crush reads this board, or at least a few members of his team do. I just want there to be reminder that beyond the egregious delays, there is criticism for the in game content. So please by 1.2, let’s have the heroine as a prostitute as it’s been intended since the first fucking update. Let her manipulate a guy into giving her information by sleeping with him, or cozy up to a guy by being good at sex, or date rape a fucking guy idk. Just let there be some god damn sexpionage soon.
