did they finally add better character customization in this update (diff race for main character)?
noooooooo and it doesn't look that hard [idk im not a coder or artist] but cant you literally just recolour then VOILAdid they finally add better character customization in this update (diff race for main character)?
What still slays me is that the game used to have an anal tag just for this:And that was good content - IF it would shape the characters. I liked the partly randomized back story with BFs, and sex partners and stuff.
Now it is a short VN without any lewd images and still so many cut corners. There are still many placeholder images and text is not "translated" ( "Thai thai thai ..") or even plain variables ( "Hey, $kate.strippername!" Lisa jumps up from her couch and gives you a hug. ..).
The Character Sheet is still a wasteland ...
All of this is not bad, but it took WAY to long and cost WAY to much for the little bit of game we currently have.
you are in Bangkok and have ben for about 3 weeks game time.So. Before I give this another try, have we actually reached Bangkok yet? Or are we still stuck in the pre-game intro?
We have reached Bangkok. In fact, we reached Bangkok so hard that we crashed the plane, completely forgetting everything that happened before that.So. Before I give this another try, have we actually reached Bangkok yet? Or are we still stuck in the pre-game intro?
Some of the old content doesn't really fit with the current story. For example, the training mission in the night clubs worked well for an agent who was going to enter the HCC as a stripper/bargirl, but don't make much sense for a barmaid. The old code is still present in the game, just commented out. The plan (AIUI) is to reinstate it once the main game is further along."This game looks completely different from when I last played it." I said to myself. Turns out the game I played maybe a year or so ago just does not exist. The fun character creation where you kind of live through your character's life up to the start? Gone. That was great stuff! Why did it have to go? I liked having the backstory that my character was a smart girl in a middle class family that stayed away from drugs, because I got to play that part out.
It wouldn't be so bad if I played what is here now WITHOUT knowledge of what I played before, but I can't erase the memories the same way those scenes were erased. Right now it feels like the story is a road with several lanes, and picking a choice is just changing my lane, instead of taking me to a different road.
I don't want to put an actual review down because it would have like, 7 different ratings. When I see the tags say completed or abandoned, I'll check it out again.
Professional sucker milking, not even trying to hide it.All of this is not bad, but it took WAY to long and cost WAY to much for the little bit of game we currently have.
Part in Bangkok much bigger than old versions and anyone can play old version before Bangkok and then switch to current version.It's nice to see the game still being updated but with so much content being removed and being rewritten back really makes me question how long this game will last. Maybe you can combine old content together like the MC past, college, and training to make the game feel more whole. Certain things like the hypnotism if you were nervous was a neat thing as well and wish for that to return also.
I am and whenever i try to start play i cannot see anything only text no imagesThe HTML file loads all images and avatars fine for me. Maybe start a new game?
I have criticized Crushstation too. I do think you expect to much from a one man band, and are just jumping on the bandwagon of complaining.For three months of writing that was remarkably short.
I mostly agree with you but I am definitely not jumping on the bandwagon. Just speaking from someone who has been his discord for over a year and has had earn money writing before.I have criticized Crushstation too. I do think you expect to much from a one man band, and are just jumping on the bandwagon of complaining.
Should there be more content for 3 months of work? Of course, but saying that... I just played this update and it's not short. I think you are implying that it's tiny and it's not.
Not to say there aren't issues. The problem is that the choices are an illusion. I 100% agree with anyone about that topic. No matter what you are forced to be a slut because You get horny from being forced to take the one trait. Exhibition, Submissive, or Masochistic, means you enjoying being treated like shit. The only difference in the story is the reason you enjoy being treated like a slut.
Saying that, looking at Crushstation's record, if we force him to actually create branching paths that game would take exponentially longer. If you have a few different story lines you might have to wait a year for it to get updated. In the end I see that as worse.
Other thing that worries me is that he keeps adding systems. He has added slut reputation with your agency, and that keeps adding to the things slowing progress down. He can't seem to stop editing and just push the story. He seems to be getting better at it, but still it's annoying.
