even though all of us are absolutely human.
Twitter Bot #42.000.000 has entered the chat. Heck, shitty CS chatbot #42.000.000 has entered the chat. Not sure why I'm even talking to any of you, show me your certified Turing test results!

covid? what's is going to be next delay reason? ebola? aliens?
btw wasn't it almost done few weeks ago? anyway nothing in 2022.
You forget a zombie apocalipse!:ROFLMAO:

It's a shame he keeps delaying and delaying to get more money out of patreons. Since this game has been in development he has earned a tesla a year, and this story has been going on for at least 6 years!
How many teslas does this man still need? :LOL:

A second (and additional...) thought continuing what I posted just above: part of this is due to Crush's social media presence. Since he seems to spend a lot of time and energy on Discord, it makes him more relatable than the average username on the Internet. Most people on the Internet are just names to everyone else, even though all of us are absolutely human.
oh c'mmon.... he is on social networks primarly because chatting is easier than really working. it also keeps paying hostages (sorry, patrons) happy and while they are happy he can extend delays between chapters. social networks are also indication when payers are reaching critical point (point where excuses, polls, graphs, avatar changes...are not keeping flock happy anymore) when he has to really switch from idle mode to working mode and deliver something.
but i'm not blaming him... as long as patrons are willing to finance his extended holidays why would he work and deliver every month or two new update? at that pace game would be finished 1-2 years ago what is bad for his easygoing life. this way he can send future kids at university, while our girl is still in bangkok on update 22.1

People who chat a lot with Crush on Discord get into one aspect of the personality dynamics here (stumbling over each other to tell him to take however many decades are needed, and trashing those who disagree)
Interesting dynamic, financing someone's lifestyle because you have a "relationship" online. All of my best friends are people I haven't met IRL, like this Nigerian prince who promised to make me rich and my online girlfriend who unfortunately cannot video call. Hit me up if you'd like to learn savvy networking like me, I assure you we are all absolutely human.

Very mixed feelings whenever I come here - on one hand look forward to the few pages of content each update brings. On the other, the lead time between each update is... significant and absent of accountability (even regular updates). If only there were a way to charge people only when content is released? :unsure: So using the money from not subscribing, I had enough to go Bangkok recently to experience the bar scene in person.

Guess what, COVID really did a number there. In short, FA been delayed so long that our spy would have been retrenched from her bar job. May I suggest that Crush use this reason for next delay? We should wait for Thai tourism to fully recover so that she can be rehired to continue the mission. For realism sake.

yes, but not only covid. crush is facing other serious problems. with his current pace it is very likely that terrorism will be extinct before he finish the game or he will be forced to modify countries where our hero is comming from (republic of scotland, gilead, zombieland...)

Interestingly, one of my relatives sends all his extra money to a "woman in Africa" that he has only met online "so that she can afford a plane ticket to visit him." He's sent many times more than a plane ticket from Africa would cost. It's definitely a thing, and it's one of the main forces driving various trends today.

amazing comparison: virtual african woman asking for plane ticket and crush's project
add nigerian prince and russian top model bride ordered by mail and dream-team is here

Nope. Just mentioned on his Discord that he's 'good enough' with Build up Scene 6...5 steps to go.

For a guy who says he's primarily a writer (as an artist), he's massively slow for the quality. He should really transition to project owner/manager and hire some other writer.

He may indeed be a good writer, but more than that he is a much better milker.

He takes his time and makes a lot of money. Why? Because he can afford that. And if there really are thousands of "take your time-fanboys" who are stuffing the money down his throat, then it's their own fault. And as long as it stays that way, nothing will change in his behavior. Period.

I'm going to assume you misunderstood when you quoted my post as representative of one of the "thousands" of "take your time-fanboys".

I like to discuss the development of this game here but this thread routinely turns so toxic with negative histrionics ("milker", "hostages", "stuffing money down his throat") that I can't even begin to understand your anger and simply ignore your shit.

It's just a game. A game that you care about, which you demonstrated by following and posting.

I hope they deliver a good update. That's the difference.

And then right after he expected *praise* for announcing he's done with 2A, this response on Discord:

"Take your time, sweetheart. Don't push yourself. Players will wait. Your work is always full of quality, and quality require time"

Man. It confounds the mind.

The discomfort you may be feeling is cognitive dissonance.

You want this game so much that you cannot stand someone praising their progress on the game you want to play. Hard to reconcile.

It's hard for people to understand that a lot (i.e. thousands of people) support the development of this game with their hard-earned money because they want to.

If you don't want to support the game financially - just don't - but don't cry about how you did everything in your impotent power to stop the game you want to play.

Hey guys! Just finished whipping sex scene 2A into shape. Here's where we are now:
(That's three more scenes turned green since last time.)
I've been really tired post-COVID. I've been working every day, but feel like my brain's battery has been running out of charge much faster than usual. But yesterday and today have been better, I was able to work 0900-1940 today and I feel tired but not exhausted.
I'm gonna take the rest of the night off, and get right onto sex scene 2B tomorrow morning.
This is a different scene in a different location with a different partner from 2A, so it's not as simple as cutting and pasting 2A into 2B and changing a few variables. But a large part of 2A was nailing the heroine's emotional beats throughout the scene, and that work should be usable as a framework tomorrow.
What I'm saying is that hopefully 2B and 2C will go down faster than 2A. I'll report again when 2B is done so you can get a feel for velocity.
Again, I'm sorry this has taken so long and a sincere thank you to everybody who's sent me a message of support during a very stressful time. I'm working on it as hard as I can.
Hope to be back in comms very very soon.
