HTML Female Agent [v1.20.1p] [Crushstation]

[redhand]

I generally like the writing, I love the spy themes, and the images that exist are good. The characters, like Ian and Connor, are also getting more interesting. TBH I kind of wondered if the two of them might have some history as Ian was ex-SAS and Connor talks like he may be ("bossman", etc).

Two things that need improvement:

Pace of updates - this is the biggest issue, its just too slow and whatever is causing that needs to be fixed. I get having beta readers but its just too slow.

UI/RPG related polish - the stats, character info tab, etc, these are all still unfinished despite the current version being going on for a long time now. I'm sure this is an easy enough fix

my favorite game,where only version number changes

...once per year.

I recall playing 1.17, and for the girl's night out I had the gw bush, and the the game forced me to trim it. I hope to god that was a bug because I'm sick of games on this site doing that kind of shit.

 

[Joe Steel]

Where did he say that?
Because it doesn't seem to me as an intro. The intro is the old part which was cut out. She is working at the bar, doing spy stuff at several locations, she is gathering a lot of intel, she befriends a lot of characters,...
To me, it seems like that's the game. The old idea of something like a sandbox game, is long gone. Even without any meaningful choices (except accepting or declining the side missions) it takes a lot of time for releasing new content.

I would love to see meaningful choices, different character development, replayability and so on, but that probably will never happen. And to be honest, at this point I don't want to see him trying to implement all that stuff, because the development time would be exploding.

I told the thread followers what I think from having followed the game as a low-level patron and Discord participant since the start. You've told the thread followers what you think. It's all speculation (informed to one extent or another) so speculate away.

It's not possible to have a fully-informed discussion on the topic because neither of us knows the future plans for sure. I would note that all of the "mission" tab entries say that there are no missions "until the main quest starts." So, perhaps, you are overly pessimistic about the current portion of the game being the main quest.

future plans

i chuckled on that one.
having a plan for a game that went nowhere for 5 years,good one

 

[Joe Steel]

Whining... Whining never changes.

 

[MaxNght]

I mean his way of putting it aside
I do enjoy the game...but I find it somewhat irritating that it updates so slowly it makes The Red Dwarf seem fast and that junker was slower than the speed of Darkness.

 

[Joe Steel]

Yeah, the updates are ridiculously slow, and Crush has never found a way to speed up his writing despite trying quite a few things. It's the standard perfectionist case where the last 20% takes 80% of the time, but it is what it is. The only surprise left is that, after five years of repetitive complaining and whining to no effect, some people still think that, if they just complain some more, they will force Crush to change.

Even though he doesn't read the thread or their complaints.

 

[MaxNght]

Hrmm I see
I oh well
at least its fun
also...*shakes fist* Cuuuuuuurrrseee you Perfectionism!!

 

[itslydiabxtch]

I first played this when it still had that lovely white UI. What happened to the extensive customisation? Waited 6 years to play something worthwhile and at this rate, I'll be filing for a pension before the game is finished. It's good so far but it massively needs to speed up on updates.

 

[Delete All Reason]

Great game to keep people's interest/attention for this long!

 

[skyline_pj]

Honestly, the sentence before 1.61 was much more interesting. Now I'm so bored that I wonder if it's the same person's writing, and the length of the writing per page is short, so I have to click more many times.

 

[Tristin4857]

I like the concept of the game, however...

Once again, you go into the VIP room, you tease a bunch of guys who turned you on, left and fucked your boring boss. My girl is suppose to be submissive, why isnt she fucking them? why are they just taking advantage of her?

 

[Davkin]

some people still think that, if they just complain some more, they will force Crush to change.

I don't think that's the intention though. I see it more as venting frustration. The ones who truly don't care simply won't even participate.

 

[Davkin]

My girl is suppose to be submissive

Because for a choice-based game that spent 5 years focusing on character customization, the story is extremely linear. The only choices you make were "A: show a lewd scene; B: skip the lewd scene". There are no branches in story at all.

At this point game should be renamed into "CAN YOU FIND THAT HYPERLINK"? seriously why the hell it is appears always randomly on the page.

It's probably a design choice to discourage people from skipping text. Crush wants you to read the text in the text based game...

Would I do that if I was cloning the game? No, but lets be real it's not THAT hard to play "FIND THAT HYPERLINK" as you describe it.

 

[vicaddict]

I have to say that I liked the recent update. Yes, at some point it would be nice to have the MC do someone else than Connor, but overall I liked it. And you can't really complain about the speed this time. This was the fastest we have ever gotten an update, was it not?

I also believe that Crush might have found a clever way to reintroduce the life path. The little conversation that you had with Ian gave you some of the background options that you had back in the before time. However that relates to skills and traits is a different story, but if he keeps adding the life path via these small conversations or flash backs, I am actually impressed. That does work.

Then again, there is still the elephant in the room. Skills, traits, kinks, a like/dislike system as well as a suspicion mechanic. That is a lot of mechanics that still don't do anything other than give you some random feedback. Oh, I forgot the dice rolling. Still, none of it matters.

On a side note: I really like lovely Victorias art. I rather enjoy consistent drawings of characters. It is much better than having random gifs or images of porn stars.

 

[DrDerpington]

Is this game still lame AF and is the dude still redoing everything unnecessarily?

Yes. The game is still stuck in development hell. Every single update brings minimal changes.

But if you didnt play this game for few years, then I guess there is enough new stuff to varant one new playthrough. Why? There was a restart of the game. As usual developer removed old content and started from a scratch. Like you have said: dude still redoing everything unnecessarily.

 

[PoEbalu]

dude still redoing everything unnecessarily.

you people are new to reallife or criminally naïve. this phenomena called "milking" or "scam" it exist not to be finished but to just be for milking,it sells nothing but promises of a snake oil. this game will never be finished.period. the only ending for it is to be abandoned or shipped with label "done" as is when the drawbacks of this scam will outweigh the benefits . after 5 years of same shit there are people who white knighting it or still delusional,guess everyone have their fetishes. im here to have my kek when the "update" of single typo hit for a version change.
