Crush kinda misunderstood what I recommended on progress bars. He should have never mentioned a date at all. Looking at some of the better devs out there, they list a % completion, not a date. You don't pull a Babe Ruth* and point at the stands unless you are sure that you will hit a home run. There is no shame in just having a progress bar.

Think this was Babe Ruth btw.
Yes that is correct, I will fix my post. Not sure how I made that error. I should certainly drink less before I make my late night rants! I pulled a mild version of a Yogi:

"I really didn't say everything I said."
"I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four."
"Baseball is 90 percent mental; the other half is physical."
"We made too many wrong mistakes."
It was deja vu all over again.

Unsurprising but still disappointing. I have over the years continuously searched for adult games where you can play as one but it's almost a wasteland unfortunately...
Try Spy Agent 069 if you haven't already. It's short, it's a flash game and the writing isn't exactly best seller worthy, but despite all that it has everything that a "sexpionage adult game" should be.

It's everything I hoped this game to be, except with better writing and more seriousness. Spy Agent 069 is a bit silly but still fun since it's short.

If you all haven't heard some has taken "well you do it then" comments to heart and is making their own knock-off, "Girl Spy"
Nope, haven't heard anything. It certainly wasn't mentioned and discussed on the last page of this thread you haven't bothered to check before posting.

btw Lobster is king in M2F topic
To be honest i'd argue with this, because the Good Son approach to it was doing my head in due to how stupid it was. Or rather, how stupid the devices/mechanics used to propel the plot forward were. But i've already ranted enough about it in that game's own thread, so, well.

Oh I think I actually played this one a long time ago! Unless there are many flash games featuring a ScaJo Black Widow look-a-like lol.

So last I checked in they'd spent like two years remaking the entire intro of the game, and then another continuing to remake it.

Have they made any content yet?

"Welcome to "Whose Line Is It Anyway" the show where everything's made up and the points don't matter."
Been fun shooting the shit guys, but after yet another non-update week from Crush I'd personally rather watch another thread. Hope one day he decides to build better habits like say, show up to update regularly on Patreon? I feel bad for anyone still subscribed there, hope they get their money's worth on Discord chat about the game they wished he is making.

Predict that this game will limp along without a conclusion until the day there is a financial cost for delays, like switching payment mode to "per creation" instead of monthly billing. The main issue is measuring actual output, instead of paying for well... whatever the pomodo, sprint, beat sheet method of the day.

Boggles my mind that Elden Ring can sell at retail for about the money that Crush would charge for one year at his lowest tier (now on year 5), because I recall that someone else in the thread shared how much manpower (and I assume payroll?) would be involved in such a big project.

Ah, what do I know eh? Not a accountant or mathematician either. Unwatching this thread for my sanity, do hope dear Crush deigns to move the story along before Lobster finishes his.

As much as I never get tired of telling Crush that he's an extreme slowpoke, if people are paying, it's all up to them to decide whether they want to keep paying. If someone is waving a decent amount of money at you and telling you that it's ok to snooze (or procrastinate, or self-destruct) as much as you want, I find it unlikely that many would be able to resist.

Hey guys! Sorry for the late report. I’m part-way through four different Female Agent tasks right now, and none of them are complete because I suck at multi-tasking.
My priority is finalising the plan for the next episode. I was intending to jump straight into one of the three side quests we’ve set up in the previous two episodes (White Russian, Big Mac and Booth Babe). But after a few days struggling with outlines, I think we need to insert a mini story episode first.
The purpose is really just to set conditions for the side quests (and the next main quest episode later). I’m picturing something much smaller in scope than the past couple of episodes, so hopefully it should be ready much more Soon™.
I just finished outlining this new mini-episode today, but I haven’t yet shown it to anybody for feedback, so I'm not sure if I'm a genius or a fool.
I’ll get it into a shape that other humans can understand tomorrow, get feedback, and publish a solid plan here once I’m sure it’s not a crazy/bad/unsexy idea.

Other things I’m working on
– Public release of 1.17.
This should’ve happened last week! (But I figured it wasn’t a big deal, since everybody got the Early Access version anyway.) This will be ready in a few days, I got distracted with planning 1.18.
– Opening up the source code to other developers. This has been suggested a few times (most recently by q5 on the Discord). In theory, this could speed up development a lot, but there are also challenges to it that we discussed on the Discord. I’m not exactly sure what the best thing to do is, but I'm looking into what's required technically.
– Investigating AI generated location photos. Nobody talks much about the location photos, but I think they save me a lot of descriptive writing, and also set the scene better than words alone could.
Finding the right images can be time consuming (because the scenes in my head don’t always come up in image searches), so I’ve been seeing if AI can help.
Early indications are good! Example image created by Stable Diffusion:
“A dark SUV, with tinted windows, pulling over on a street in Bangkok, at night.”

I feel like the AI isn’t exactly sure what road markings are but, like they say in the army, “that’s close enough for government work.”
Okay, sorry there’s not much to report, just wanted to let you know that I’m only radio silent because I’ve got my head down on game work. I will report again Soon™ with the firm plan for the next episode.
