he is a great porn-game-blogger and i'm grateful his patreonposts are free to read
HTML Female Agent [v1.20.1p] [Crushstation]
It’s taken 6 years for him to put out a fairly linear text based game and we’re STILL not at the main act of her becoming a bargirl. Imagine if he tried to add free roam.
It seems the negative feedback was too much and now Lovely Illustrator Victoria TM is more or less directly asking for praise instead:

There's a link in the game Shortcut to the start of episode 1.19 after you create your character.
LOL
'fa_discussion' discord channel is not for discussions, move along.

Crazy how long this game's been around and there's barely any progress made
What do you mean? Crush has made like 3 different incomplete games since 2017.
My thoughts also. I discovered this game in last update (1.18) and thought "hey, I liked that!". And it was worth supporting for a couple of months, I had a great time with it. But when the delays and excuses started, you begin to see the game's shortcomings.
Well, firstly it's not a game, is a VN, 100% linear. There are no choices, dice, suspicion, none of that matters. Nothing is added to character customization (all ours MCs look exactly the same from the back, and she is on her back a lot! lol). 1.1 content still exists, it's ready and is not incorporated in newer releases. Unfortunately, it's another porn game that made success, and it's going to be milked forever.

That parody was more interesting in a 0.01 version than any of the versions I've played of this. I almost wish that was lobster's main game instead of good son. Side note: anyone have any Working versions of the old versions of this game? The website has 1.13 avaliable, but it's never Playable whenever I try it. Curious about the mixed version of the backstory & start of the agent stuff, if such a version even exists. Only ever played the boring backstory & even more boring 1.16+ versions.
Also Maybe this is just me, but do the sex scenes in this game kinda... suck to anyone else? Just the same old somewhat forced "ugh im so innocent i can't believe i have to do this with an ugly man - wait why am i horny" every single time. Doesn't help a lot of the worst ones are unavoidable. The spy story & unique character creator/paperdoll was what interested me at first. But it's almost irritating to playthrough. Her jerk off fantasies are better than the actual sex scenes.

Stop forcing sexual interactions on us. This game could be a smashing succes if the player were allowed to choose their own route. Suck this guy or your fired = game over. Fuck this guy or get fired = game over.
Ruins the fun in the game. Stop letting actions where you dont want to sleep with nasty mofos become a game over..

Shame that isn't getting updates either. I wonder why Lobsterman's isn't taking it more seriously because, it may just be setting or the pace that makes it more interesting, but it's better than his other game.
The only thing that surprises me is negative feedback on Discord. I haven't been to their Discord, but I had guessed it wasn't as amusing as this thread. Their perception of negative feedback is consistent with how it was in 2017-2018, and so that is not surprising at all.
I’m on the discord. While the criticism hasn’t been as harsh as it is on here, he’s definitely stepped in it. He still has supporters, but they’ve surprisingly been fairly silent in their defense this time.

The general consensus on discord is pretty much the same as here, just a bit more thought out and said less bluntly.
QueenVic must be a lawyer in real life, isn't she? Funny that she feels inclined to weigh in on the situation, when all she provides is the graphics. And those are pretty good. So is the writing.
That is actually the sad thing. The game is pretty good. The graphics are good. The writing is good. Crush had the potential to be one of the best devs, have one of the best games out there. Yet, he can't for the life of him not figure out how to speed up the actual produciton cycle. Nobody would complain, if he had writers blockage and needed time off. Nobody would complain about the size of the updates, if it didn't appear time and time again that he started working on it a week before the deadline.
Dude, I used to do that in school or even at Uni. Project is due on day X? Could start early and be done with it, but nope. Rather doing nothing right now and have crunch time later on.
He arrived at a point where is dev reports contain more text and take more time to write than the actual update. That is an achievement in itself.

I appear in this thread about once a year to give a dead horse of a game a mandatory kick.
I really should try my hand at writing smut for that sweet patreon grift. Seeing what some people are willing to fork over for an update about as long as the back of a shampoo bottle per page and only averaging about 20 of those every 4 months? What's the worst than can happen? An angry nerd calls me out for not getting him (or her) off faster?
In all seriousness though. Dude can write really well. I'll give him props for that. He just needs to hire a team to help him flush out all those little bits he seems to agonize over. At this point, with how linear the "game" is, its more like reading a fanfic where we get cucked by making our spy waifu and letting him write her into sex scenes that have to be completed or its game over.
There is zero player agency and I don't see how adding the "Lifepath" in the future is going to help matters. All it will add is another layer of complexity to a situation already reaching a tipping point within his own group of supporters. I won't deny that I myself have pledged a few times to see the next few slides early, but it is clear to me that there is little reason to believe that anything will change. The business model of any crowdfunding site demands you drag out content for as long as possible to net the largest sum of money you can make from a group of people that are willing to pay over long periods of time with zero commitments needing to be fulfilled.
Crush is simply playing the game by the rules. He could drop the game tomorrow, make a new patreon with a different name, and go on his merry way with the next grift. Rinse and repeat. I wouldn't call it genius, but I am jealous I haven't tried it myself...
