Seems fairly clear to me, though I can't guess the exact details. There is something, whatever it is, eating up 95% of dev time, and then the remaining 5% is spent developing in a hurry. Not my problem of course, just pointing out the obvious. It's a repeating pattern with a few other signs that haven't been mentioned lately. Paying attention for years now, I could essentially plot out the events that accompany this without even looking.

You must have access to some special secret game build, because in the regular game 3 weeks in the heroine is still working at the bar while her brothel supervisors are unsubtly tempting her to switch jobs.

He took like 2 years to redo the whole game so it has a backstory, then took the backstory out completely and a year later still hasn't put it back in. The audacity.

It's not a secret game build, he is talking about the OG premise. Initially the agent was supposed to go in as a bargirl and gather intel that way. Also she could be hypnotized by the CIA to be more open to the job idea. Which let's be honest, was not the best idea in terms of realism.
I actually think that the barmaid approach is a better idea. You go in and slowly realized that you can't extract too much intel that way. For the good of the mission you have to switch jobs. Combine that with the fact that everyone from the club expects you to do it sooner or later.
You talk about corruption. Well it is there, but it's subtle. Conner is slowly grooming you.
Step 1 - Every time you go with him in the office you receive extra money. You get used with the idea of being paid for sex.
Step 2 - Happened in the last update when he took you to the brothel rooms. Do it enough times and you learn how to lead a men there. You get familiarized with the surroundings, with the room itself, with the sound from the other rooms and with it's purpose.
Step 3(just assumption) - You go there with someone else, not Conner, maybe one of his friends, maybe a customer that convinces you to do it. And that's it. At this point the agent is so used to do this, that it will no longer find the action odd. It's a mechanical activity.
The rushed part is what is happening with the agent when she is in her room. She could reflect a bit about the situation and say that she doesn't like it at first, then accept that it is what it is and later think about the fact tha she actually likes it. Maybe try to masturbate thinking of an ex, a time where she was just a normal girl/women, in order to maintain her initial personality. The shift to the new personality should be done through dreams at first and later imagining scenarios during masturbation.
The 95% is probably the developer own life and job. This is just a hobby project, one that probably gets 2-3 hours per week, one of which is used to write pretty Patreon reports. It's not a full job, working on it 40h/week. It might be described differently, but we all know that is not true.
I was referring to the part where the MC supposedly turns into a whore over night few days after arrival, while the actual game is nothing like that.

A little. It'd be nice if the game remembered the last set and allowed to apply it with one click, or even automatically as the starting point.
On the other hand, you could argue that the annoyance/routine aspect does a good job putting you into character's shoes /s
How is a less than 2mb html text based game SIX FUCKING YEARS in development? Why are people still in this thread? What's wrong with you?
It's actually 10 mb (text compresses nicely). Probably similar size for the prequel game with MC's early years. And, you know, entire Harry Potter collection (4k pages) is a bit over 20 mb. And took 10 years to write that much. Text file size is far from a good indicator, of anything really.

Because I like the game premise and while some people want instant sex I like the slow "corruption" for the sake of accomplishing her mission.

QQ, does this chapter have any scenes with "Noodle" or the Indian neighbours or her fellow undercover officers?

I find it a lot of fun, like the manicure and pedicure you get in his new chapter! Wish there was more of this stuff, like trying on different clothes.
I think this is a fair point. I do like the current masturbation scenes as is because they keep the pace up and show off the corruption taking hold, i.e. right now it's fantasy so it's indulged, but down the line it will be realized. I feel like all of the touristy asides give us enough pause in action so as not to make the story feel rushed. But if we had more of what you described at first and moved the current masturbation scenes to later in the story it would work quite well.
One reason for the more rushed corruption is the premise of a secret agent being sent in to infiltrate. She's not some young lady, on her own, trying to get by. She can leave any time she wants. And, avoiding spoilers, to maintain verisimilitude we have to acknowledge that no intelligence service is going to let an agent slut around for months accomplishing nothing. So there is only so much slow burn that could be fit in.
Overall I'm pretty pleased with these updates. I checked out for a year so when I recently downloaded I was surprised how much content had come down and I'm considering re-subbing to the Patreon. I've made some jokes about it before and yes for a game 6 years in production it's pretty light. But it seems that things are going in a good direction.
Join his patreon, slowest corruption ever.
A couple of years ago, he announced he would quit his day job to focus on FA. So, whatever is taking 95% of the time, it's not "the daily job". This is his "daily job"
