Yesterday I played in the latest version of "Being a DIK" and the diffesence with "Female agent" so massive in content, general approach, branching (routes) amount that I'm shocked.
From my point of view text games has a worse visual than standard visual novels, but they have different strengths like more routes, more complicated mechanics and they are much easy to develop, because you haven't render each location specifically - just use your imagination and text.

What I wanted to say, that I had a hope that in some time in the future Female agent transforms into the game that we deserve with a lot of branches, minigames, interesting mechanics and a lot more content, but now I understand that this hope is a massive delussion.

Being a DIK was started 2 years later, Our red strings 3 years later and they both have more content, real branching, unique mechanics and they are visual novels, not a text quest.

I don't believe anymore in this game. It's just another Yandere dev story

To be honest updates for BAD take about a month or so longer than the updates for FA. :KEK:

you got the point, right? BAD with all renders, minigames, complex reputation system, different router takes just about "a month or so longer" that simple text-based kinetic novel with minimal illustrations

Considering the development time, i wish the dev just beeline the main plot and forget all the side quests, even branching options for that matter.

Just do a linear story that is both tense (when it's about spycraft) and hot.

I could not disagree more. If you just want a completely linear story experience, go read a book, or watch a movie. The whole reason to play a narrative focused game, is to have some ability to interact with the narrative.
Alternatively, having it on the computer allows to provide experience that isn't quite like watching a movie or reading a book, given there's a level of interactivity. That's why kinetic novels are an actual thing and not something universally shunned "cuz we already have movies and books".

But also, with a male MC, you don't want to miss fucking everyone
To be fair, MC trying to figure out whether being in relationship with a girl, as opposed to just fucking around, is something for him, is one of major themes for BaDIK. So, with this context it does make sense for it to have a number of exclusive paths the player can pursue, if they so choose -- missing "fucking everyone" becomes very much the point.

I'm just saying the people who play these games probably just want their MC to fuck everyone, there's saying to describe men... if it has hole... they will fuck it.
Well, didn't you just spend your previous post trying to make a point how your tastes drastically differ from the person you were replying to, when it comes to games? So, no, this is a really silly, overly sweeping generalization you're now trying to make. Some people who play these games will like to have choices just as much as you like not having to put up with them.

dude it's not a real person, go touch grass.
Dude, you're posting at length about your tastes of porn games, on forum for porn games. Save yourself this embarrassment of telling others "to touch grass". You aren't any more cool than these Korean soap opera fans you're shitting on.

Lastly. Yeah I didn't generalize anything. When you use words like most you aren't generalizing. It is assuming of course, but only saying ALL would be generalizing. ALL people like games the way I do, is a generalization.
This is true, which is exactly why i said what you were doing was excessive generalization -- because, and please check again your post if you don't believe me, you didn't use "most" in your claims. Not even once.

Hey guys! Here's an update on the task list:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
We're just beavering away. Our illustrator lovely Victoria has finished most of the art (which is looking stunning ).
Every time I'm in the code I see things I want to edit! But I'll restrain myself and just push it out as soon as the critical tasks are done.

my comment: polishing soon!:p:poop:

Hi all! I haven't played AF for about two years, I've read the last couple of pages in this topic, and I would like to clarify with you, is there still no open world in the game? I remember that the author promised to implement it, did he abandon these plans?

No open world. Far from it, 100% linear.

Are you joking or trolling? :cool:

Nope, Crush has not managed to turn this into an open world game in two years. If you've not played since 2021, there's probably not that much new: a handful of more scenes of the MC working as a topless waitress and one where she goes partying with her work mates.

Give it another five years.

If you check in 2028, then maybe Crush will have reintegrated the childhood character-creator bit again and progressed the story far enough for the heroine to become a bar girl. It still won't be finished though

Thank you all for the answers, the pace of development of the game is really depressing. It's not that I'm complaining, I didn't pay a penny for the game, it's just sad that such a potential is wasted. Well, I think I'll have my visit for another two years XD
