Mod the game and give Connor a sex change.
Nice. :ROFLMAO:

Now, if someone wanted to do a game where the straightest female cop in the world has to infiltrate the most notorious lesbian bar around and ends up fitting in way better than she expected, that could be fun. But it is definitely not Female Agent.

Unless it developed a rabid Patreon following that it maintained through endless cycles of delays and reboots and never actually made any progress. Then it would be Female Agent.

Dev report on Patreon:



New

Hey guys! Since the last report we were mainly working through some technical issues related to hair layers.
Currently the hair assets are all individually coloured in Illustrator, then uploaded as separate images. But the new hairs are more complex and numerous, so we're planning to use an SVG layer instead to handle the colour; the idea is that we can change the colour dynamically using code instead of manually recolouring and uploading everything.
We've been tackling some technical challenges over the past few days. Firstly, the game code wasn't set up to handle SVG assets, so this needed to be fixed! Then we hit some problems where the colour layer wasn't aligning properly with the underlying shape/detail layer, despite being exactly the same dimensions.
Anyway, we solved this problem today (it was to do with the export settings in Illustrator) and now the new SVG assets are working fine in the game engine and lining up seamlessly. Our illustrator lovely Victoria is experimenting with attractive colours.
Sorry for a slightly dull report – this kind of work is tedious but necessary in order to improve certain systems (like character hair).
While I was working on this I had some really great feedback from testers, which will improve the youth lifepath section and make it flow better. I'm gonna pivot back to that next and incorporate the improvements. Have a great what's-left-of-Monday guys! ❤‍
and suckers are still financing the lord of scam.

Midweek and midway through
Nouveau
il y a 7 heures
Hey guys! Sorry for the late report, I've had my nose buried in my writing and coding apps and I didn't actually realise the report was so overdue.

Like I said in the last report, I'm in the middle of a whole bunch of tasks. Right now my focus is on the character creator – I'm coding in the new hairstyles and skin colours so they're actually selectable by the player.

Like everything, this is more complex than it might sound; the game needs to keep track of multiple possible styles for each cut, and be able to support wet versions of each one (so shower, pool and spoiler alert wet t-shirt contest scenes will still have that sexy sleek but dishevelled pizazz).




This is all now tentatively working; I'm currently midway through making sure the new assets and the SVG colour layers play nice with the old avatar. My brain is fried now but I'm expecting to finish this tomorrow.



This isn't the only thing we're working on. Our illustrator lovely Victoria is drawing avatar clothes for the next episode, and I've been editing, story planning and working on a really exciting new gameplay mechanic – made possible now the heroine has actual stats and a character sheet – that is going to make seduction and attraction scenes about ten times hotter.



More on that soon! Just wanted to get a quick progress report out because XG and uncalquera reminded me to do it – thanks guys. I'm busy busy busy getting the next episode ready and working. Next report to follow soon. ❤‍

While I'm glad Crush's working on the next episode, did he even really finish the last one? The Big Mac update was packed full of placeholder text and non-functional choices.

Fascinating looking at his graphtreon. I wasn't on this site when he started but that was a prodigious uptick at the start. In a year and a half going from very little to an amount that may well have eclipsed his salary at the time. I wonder if there was a moment where he thought 'I'm going to drag this out for as long as possible.' Or that was just a habit that he fell into? I imagine the latter but who knows. The first person we deceive is often ourselves.

Noticeable decline over the last year which is honestly a little cheering to see -- I can't imagine that for the average patron this last reboot has been particularly appealing. Hair colours? Moabs? Honestly. It's laughable. Especially when compared to making progress with the story.

I have to say though, if you think this game is ever going to be finished, you are on one. It will fizzle out and Crush will pack it up and move on. To new game, perhaps? And a new name, maybe?

I've gone back and forth on how he reached his current state. The conclusion I've come to is that he was a fan of H-games who wanted to make his own, which is something that has at least crossed the mind of all of us. He made plans that were vastly more than he could handle, as many novice devs do, because he was so enthusiastic about the project and because he simply didn't understand what would be required. He made progress for a while, but then he hit a wall when he realized that he had bitten off vastly more than he could ever chew or swallow.

That was the first big hiatus, the one where most people following the game thought it had been abandoned like so many before it. At that point he likely gave strong consideration to walking away, but his Patreon following was large and held steady and seemed to be willing to accept whatever he gave them, whenever he gave it to them. It was then that he realized that he could just keep milking this thing for years and make a living, and that any progress he made actually brought him closer to needing to find a different way to make money. That was when he consciously decided to become a scammer.

See, I don’t think he became a scammer until relatively recently. Even after the 2nd or 3rd restarts, there seemed to be some sort of plan or goal.
I think it was toward the middle of last year, when he realized he could take long breaks and release incredibly short and unfinished “chapters”…..and the fans kept paying and PRAISING him. When his discord turned into a mini cult and any opposition was chased out in when I think he saw that he could get away with the bare minimum. As long as he made a token Patreon post and had “Queen Victoria” to run interference for him.
And honestly, I believe he really doesn’t see himself as a scammer. I think he still believes he’s creating “the Great American Visual Novel”.

Nah, he's just making a game engine rather than a game. He should basically have a patreon that states he's innovating the way html porn games are made. And then open source everything and make a library for creators to contribute.

It's silly to see people posting here dreaming up dreams of crush as intentionally scamming. You can't ever prove ignorance is intentional. Unless he writes it himself or admits to it. So I don't really see the point with the speculation. Seems like stroking your own cock when people do this. Like look how smart i am I can deduce this guy is a scammer and this is how it happened. Stroke your cock in private please. I guess you can't because crush is taking forever to make a game that's playable. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I am just not nice.
