So there will be no main story progress for ages?2 more side quests on the schedule. The date with Connor's friend & the convention center booth babe job.
Doubt it. The story hasn't meaningfully advanced since Kate got to Bangkok.So there will be no main story progress for ages?
Indeed. But I wouldn't get too excited about it, there must be another drawback...Just the fact he released when he said he would is kinda amazing.
I think in the spring he said his plan was to:And speaking of scrapped scenes, does anyone know when Life Path will be back to the game, if at all? The game Blue Swallow is pretty much Life Path and I miss it.
Could be a trickIndeed. But I wouldn't get too excited about it, there must be another drawback...
The Life Path is already written, so technically all he has to do is do the coding. Then again, at this point the Life Path makes no sense anymore and none of the decisions matter at all. I would not be shocked, if he narrowed it down to a few pseudo-choices to hen never be mentioned again. Hard cut to Agent story. Done. Does anybody expect something else?I think in the spring he said his plan was to:
- complete the three 'side-quests' where the MC fucks randos (1/3 done)
- complete the story to the point where the MC becomes a bargirl
- then start working on reintegrating the life path
Under the usual (tm) circumstances I'd say about 8 years for "when the Life Path will be back to the game", but if he's so quick churning out the side-quests, maybe something like 4-5 years wouldn't be too much to ask Man can hope, dream even.
Would be amazing if he can do another side quest/update in 7-8 weeks in time for Christmas if this one was his fastest update in ages and took just over 11 weeks...I also expect another quick release for Christmas. After all, pretty much every dev releases an update just before that time to get some more patrons to hand over cash for the hollidays.
It's not. Current Lifepath stops pretty much at the early stages of university, so there's still work to be done there before reintegrating it.The Life Path is already written, so technically all he has to do is do the coding.

At the end of the lifepath the protagonist has to be relatively wholesome, uncorrupted for the start of Bangkok.It's not. Current Lifepath stops pretty much at the early stages of university, so there's still work to be done there before reintegrating it.
Completely agree. Problem is there are long-time patreons that will hold him to the promise to integrate the lifepath back into it.At the end of the lifepath the protagonist has to be relatively wholesome, uncorrupted for the start of Bangkok.
So, best case scenario, Crush adds bridging content that includes at minimum: recruitment as a spy straight from university/college, interview/selection process, early career, all localized for 5 different countries. That's years of development.
At worst, Crush decides to make every lifepath decision be meaningful with variables leading to a rewrite of literally everything and polishes that forevermore. That's game over, man, game over!
I think the only way more lifepath could work is as a pretty vanilla prologue with a separate editor and community contributions.
I hope we continue playing Female Agent as a female agent.
one of the side quests - "White russian"So this one isn't one of the 3 sidequests? Can someone tell me what this update is then?
If his long-term patreons have been trying to hold him to anything I don't think their efforts have had any effectCompletely agree. Problem is there are long-time patreons that will hold him to the promise to integrate the lifepath back into it.
