Crushstation — Today at 5:46 PM
I'm fine working my ass off on the next episode. Report to follow shortly (and sorry for the lack of transparency @PrettyBoi99 and MFW Safety always off, I just felt like there's nothing really to say except I'm still working on it). I've nearly finished the writing draft for the episode – should be done in the next couple of days, but then we still need more time to get it into shape for a release – some placeholder text needs to be worked in, the new art needs to be coded in, I need to tweak some scenes so they work if you choose to do the Big Mac date before the White Russian date (or do only one, or neither), etc.

I'm so sorry it's taking so long, guys, I'm so stressed about it you wouldn't believe it, this episode has just taken way too long for what it is. Anyway I'm fine and still working my ass off, actual report to follow.
Looks like some solid and well founded bitching in the discord prompted this update. It won't get crush to change his habits but I'm still holding out hope that he farms out the writing again. I know he tried it before and the patrons screeched to high hell, but maybe this update that has been 6 month in the works, self-desribed as "slimed down" to make development faster, and seemingly does not advance the main plot at all, will be the straw that breaks the collective camel's back.

Probably not, but one can dream. I love the premise, and just want the MC to become a bar girl, but fully believe that crush is incpabable of getting to that point.

Don't worry, Crush, people still backing you would surely believe you if you not only told them you totally worked super hard for extra long hours on not fucking getting anything done, but also informed them the sky was green, a rainbow farting pig flew by the window, South Park aliens decided to buttprobe you to save Scientology, and Microsoft Outlook is the most flawless, standards compatible piece of software ever designed.

That was my reaction. Six months of "full time" and he hasn't even completed the draft of an episode that he already announced as being smaller than expected. At this point this has to be an experiment, right? How much, or rather, how little can he get away with? It is just amazing.
That's up to his patrons. His support has been slowly decreasing but it's still there

He’ll get away with all of it. Every time he delays or misses a deadline, his discord fanbase just doubles down on their devotion. You can’t reason with them or even broach the thought that maybe this has spiraled out of control, because they all rush to defend their savior.
And each time he misses a date, their only response is, “Take your time” Textbook enabling.

Common guys, don't think so bad about Crush. My presumption, to speed up the process of writing, he personally visited Thailand, made gender transition, and now tries to become a bar girl. And once he succeeded, we will receive final game, with "spiced up scenes" within a month. P.S. it also explains why he writes reports once in a few months)

You know, I just realized we should be happy Crush is still wasting his talent on porn fiction. With his ability to get devout idiots to praise absolutely any stupid crap he does (or mostly doesn't) deliver, if he ever shifts gears to pseudo-spiritual mumbo-jumbo, he'll be bigger than L. Ron Hubbard.

Getting so much money basically for free, doing no work and milking "patrons" that have forgotten they're even paying something per month. Don't you just love the world we live in?
At the same time people who work their butts off barely scrape by in life, while frauds like the one in this thread are buying mansions and cars, laughing their asses off.

Keep on enabling them, it's a fascinating watch.

Hang on... is that true? Who did he farm it out to and what were the objections?

"Some dialogue dead ends and placeholder text need to be fixed"

6 months and there is still placeholder/dead end text. I expect that if the update was 1/2 months.

It's like he's writing a full course load of work in a university. Prepping lectures 3 times a week, every week, along with writing up exams and questions... marking assignments. I bet 6 months of what university prof does is like 100 times more work.
There's still options that don't do anything and placeholder text/images from 10 (I really don't think I'm exaggerating here) releases ago.

"He's doing a text-based game in Twine, those updates should be fired off EVERY month!"
It's amusing to see how divorced from reality people can be here.

There are definitely games out there (Twine and otherwise) that hit updates with new content every month or two. *cough* *cough*

So. It is possible and realistic.

Japanese devs seem to be able to put out finished/semi finished games based on RPG Maker (primarily) and Ren'Py (occasionally) every few months with art (usually character stills), animations (pixel animations or 3D based) and roughly the same amount of text as this game (yes, the whole game), as well as the same rehashed combat system that everyone does.

But somehow almost all of these Twine western games are stuck in development limbo (to say it lightly, because the scamming accusations are getting repetitive). I guess japanese devs have special courses to make lewd games and they have a framework and teams with years of experience...

...or maybe, I dunno, the fact that they only get money once they release it and it's sold is a good incentive.
