Good fucking lord, ye talk a lot of bollocks. This is the only warning ye are getting: if ye want to talk nonsense, take it either to PM's or off-topic. This is not the place for yer awkward flirting.

Hey guys! I had a really good, productive week.
I spent some time on Sunday night and Monday morning developing plans for the next three episodes – the side quests White Russian, Big Mac and Booth Babe. I shared some new outlines with the team, and got some great feedback from Behbeh, The Lost Engineer and Captain Chicken Strip. I’m now really excited about two out of three of these (and I’m confident we’ll make the tricky one work).
White Russian and Big Mac are conceptually similar (the heroine goes on an optional date with an NPC), but I now feel like they’re both gonna ooze with their own vibe and charm. Can’t wait to get started on them.
The rest of the week was spent prepping episode 1.18.
- I uploaded the new avatar clothes into the game engine and dressed the heroine properly for each scene.
- I edited and improved a lot of the placeholder text and bad first draft dialogue.
- I fixed the half-implemented little code thing I’ve mentioned in the last few updates.
- I added the new scene pitched by xGrotesq to the start of the episode..
Meanwhile, our illustrator lovely Victoria made some good progress with the cool art experiment she’s working on:
It’s nearly ready for Early Access! I need to do a bit more work on the second half of the episode, incorporating user feedback to make it hotter and more interesting. Behbeh already gave me some *great* ideas on this, and xGrotesq has also been very, very helpful with some rewrites to a key scene, set in the ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛.
Okay, that’s it for the report! I’m gonna make a cup of tea ☕ then continue with the episode. Have a great day everybody!
White Russian seems like it should have just been cut. The other two sidequests at least have some connection to the agent theme. With Big Mac she might get intel about Conner, and with Booth Babe it fits her cover i.e a girl like the one she is pretending to be isn't likely to turn down good money that doesn't even involve anything sexual. But going on a date with some random guy she met at a club? Why would her handlers even agree to that? She's in Bangkok on a mission, not to socialize.
Going on a date with a guy met during girl outing looks like a good way to maintain cover of a regular girl who does regular girl things during her stay as a tourist in foreign country. Also gives her something extra to talk about with said girls she's trying to get closer to.
Not seeing any real issue here. There's also no say if it doesn't evolve into some actual spy work, similar to first casual contact in the game.
Eh, I guess. Still feels kind of superfluous to me. Especially since there still seems to be a great many existing avenues for story hooks and sex scenes. There's Tid and his mates, Paul and Sam, Wun Sen/Noodle, Ian and Clark, Bonaht, Kriangsek. Then there is still the actual bargirl stuff to come.

It's optional but not really, since we barely get contents for main quest so I guarantee everyone will not skip this 'optional' sidequest.

Hey guys! I spent last week polishing and improving the second half of the episode.
This is the explicitly sexy part of the episode, and I’m currently weaving in some hot new ideas (many suggested by Behbeh and xGrotesq – thanks guys) to make the experience sexier and more vivid. I can’t say much without dropping spoilers, but the improvements are making it much, much hotter.
I got the bulk of it, the most complex part, done last week. I’ve got some more polishing to do (basically the second half of the second half), and also several testers seem to agree that we need to add a small extra “wrap-up” scene at the end where the heroine can, uh, process some of the events from earlier in the episode. IYKWIMAITYD
Our illustrator lovely Victoria is finalising the artwork (which is nearly all implemented, and is looking great in-engine). Last week I also spent some time planning the next episode, White Russian, which is really exciting, and I can’t wait to get started on it!
But wait I must, because I need to finish up this episode and get it out to you ASAP. I’m very excited about this episode now! It was originally intended to be just a kind of filler, to get the story pacing right before jumping into the side quests, but I think we’ve added a cool story event, some good characterisation, and a hot new scenario for our heroine. I’ll continue polishing now, and report back with a release date very Soon™.

Hey guys! I was hoping to complete all the writing last week, but I wasn't able to do so. I've been having problems with a sex scene coming out a little flat and forced (and not in the hot way, forced as in it felt like none of the characters in the scene wanted to go through with it).
Fixing it was complicated a bit by the fact that two testers had told me they really liked a certain vivid part of the scene, so I was loathe to edit it out. I ended up trying to build a slightly different scene around that one vivid moment, but it didn't really work.
Fuck it, I deleted it (we can always repurpose it for a later scene where it'll fit better). Yesterday I just wrote a different outline for the scene, focused more on the character relationship and the heroine's internal emotional state, and I think it'll be hotter. I'm aiming to get this new version of the scene rewritten today!
Other stuff
- After it's done, I need to write one more coda scene, then go through everything for one last editing pass
- Artwork is nearly all done – lovely Victoria is working on a few last minute changes
- There are a couple of bugs I need to fix
- The secret art experiment is looking good!
Okay, that's it, I'm gonna get back to writing! We're almost there!
And like clockwork, the "Nothing's coming out, I need to rewrite" update for the allegedly almost ready episode. 100 million percent predictable Crush. 
Well, while he does have a history, I believe he has made some progress from the last release to being close to releasing the next one. I don't think we've ever had this much progress in such a short amount of time.
It’s the aftermath of Girls Night Out, or part 2 of it, if you prefer (if I understood correctly)

The problem is that Crush suffers from extreme perfectionism that cripples his writing. Rather than just write the scene and go back to it later, he would rather delay his already behind schedule update rewriting the whole thing from scratch.
An entire update held back because he doesn't like one scene in it. You can't make it up.
But if he released it and then "went back to it later" then people would complain just the same that he's "wasting time" on revising already released content instead of making more. So it's not like doing it this way is making things any worse for him. People who are determined to complain will complain regardless.
TBH I'm all for it I think this game is more than just a quick fap material. I see great passion and hard work. The people who can't wait because the artist wants his creation to be good are being childish.
It is enabled for Patreon build of the game. Internally, it's governed by a variable in the .html file, if you search this thread a few pages back you might find a hint how to set it.

It's a newcomer but with good expectations.
Definitely better plot, ideas.
