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 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.

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.

Completely agree. Problem is there are long-time patreons that will hold him to the promise to integrate the lifepath back into it.

Someone just needs to jump in the gap and make a whole game out of the lifepath. It's clearly got an audience

There's already plenty of games about female high school and/or college students getting their freak on. I'd say that audience is well catered to.

Problem is patreons dream of how intricate the life path was for character development before becoming an agent. It makes the player identify more with the heroine through their choices. It just got to complex for Crushstation to do anything with it...

Very thin update. A few drinks, some food, a few wardrobe malfunctions, a rushed fuck, a hasty departure. And that's it? Seriously? That's even less than I expected - and my expectancy was quite low. I am glad I don't support that one. I would feel duped.

Turns out Crush played himself by being quite stupid.

You simply can't reintegrate the life path.
It's like a football match.
The referee pauses the match in the 15th minute and resumed it at the 55th minute.
Now it's suddenly 3 - 1 and the ref stops the match again to resume the match in the 15th minute with the score from the 55th minute.


The insane part is that Crush had no reason to do this at all.
No one forced him.
He just decided that it would be a good idea.

He could've simply fleshed out the life path, which wouldn't have taken that long.
We were already past University and having contact with the secret service.
An interview, some work buddy introductions who you didn't have to fuck so it's easy.
Perhaps introduce a romantic interest outside of work.
They move together, perhaps some barbecue with neighbours, it breaks apart WHATEVER.

And there you go, you can start the mission.


Meanwhile Crush acted as if he had to simulate the MCs entire life again.
