(but for real, trimming the lifepath thing from the fat and getting it all done is genuinely decent news. He's pretty close to an epiphany how it'd work even better if it was a simple, short and sweet setup in a few questions... but maybe he'll get there eventually, too)
Nah... 'trimming the fat' only works if there actually is some fat. At the moment, he's been paid tens of thousands of dollars to produce nothing and he has nothing to show for it: Not a demo of the lifepath, not a single scene.

He'll have been sitting there for about a month thinking 'Shit... I've got to tell these people something' and that's the best excuse he's come up with. He's turned the corner so many times that at this point people are just paying to watch him spin on the spot.

Let me get it right; He didn't do anythign because he was stressed because people asked what the hell was he doing past 6 months... then said he wasn't "happy" with how development was going so he (again) scrapped the update and the next update will be in reality what he was going to do for the last update he planned half a year a go.

So now we will have a (possible) new update with no scheduled date where we will have a new early game but the history remains untouched.

Why i decided to have a normal job and not be Crush lmao.....

That's actually massive news. This game has been in development since ... what? ... 2017 and in 2025, lo and behold, we finally get a build which integrates the life path with Bangkok, so it's possible to take your heroine from her birth to the topless cafe.

I wonder what's the catch? I'm guessing he will massively scale down on implementing a skill system that will have any effect on the game and just deliver a life path which is mainly text and some cosmetic changes like the hair colour selector he was so excited about some months ago.

Nah... 'trimming the fat' only works if there actually is some fat. At the moment, he's been paid tens of thousands of dollars to produce nothing and he has nothing to show for it: Not a demo of the life path, not a single scene.
Actually, he's got a complete life path written out: this is for the version with the old avatar that was scrapped ages ago. It didn't have Bangkok, but it did allow you to follow Kate from childhood through uni to getting recruited and trained by the intelligence agency.

With some edits and 'trimming the fat', it should take a competent developer a maximum of a few weeks to make the old version compatible with the newer one. I'm guessing that's what Crush will do after wasting months on doing who knows what...

I really don't get this aggression people have going on around here. :(

I'm a *huge* fan of FA. The sheer quality of that game in almost every way surpasses basically every other adult HTML game I've played. But over a year with no progress is too long. I won't comment on the history since I just don't know, I barely started playing these a year ago. But I did just recently cancel my sub because of this.

But there's really no need for ppl to get angry & personal like this. Indecisiveness, procrastination, coming up with excuses for yourself and others while desperately hoping - even believing - to make some progress... only to always fall short? Those are highly typical signs of things like depression. As is the guilt that always follows it. You'd think most had at least some experience of that, personal or otherwise?

This isn't about making excuses either. Being unsatisfied with their progress and putting your money elsewhere, yet feeling empathy for Crush and wishing them the best aren't mutually exclusive things. There's no need to resort to abusive insults and name-calling over it. Even those who truly believe they're just grifting for money, 1 eur a month doesn't make it feel likely and wouldn't be worth getting all that upset over even if it was. If you can't be sure, wouldn't you rather just assume the best of someone instead of the worst when it costs you nothing either way?

Stop paying, express your sympathies, move on. <3

Those things are also symptoms of severe porn addiction... go figure. Crush is an adult, an adult thats been paid to write a game. simple as. Either way I only come here cause I get notifications from the replies, I don't even know that I'll play whatever update may or may not come out. As far as this being the best html game thats not really a high bar to meet considering 99% of them get abandoned and the remaining 1% are written by 90iq incest fetishists. As far as it being the best written of all time I'd say within your eyes by alahria is an example of a better written game imo. The writing for this game is good but I feel a lot of people overrate it because it hasn't been (officially) abandoned yet.

No no, you see, he technically isn't being paid to write a game.

He writes a game, shares the progress, and coincidentally has a convenient method for people to charitably donate to him as a person. And because he's so nice, he also charitably decides to reward the people that donate to him with some perks.

It's just like pachinko in Japan, it's totally not gambling, you just exchange money to play an enticing game that might charitably offer token rewards. Having a place nearby that will coincidentally exchange those tokens for money is just that, a coincidence.

(I'm just putting it out there because someone will mention it unironically sooner rather than later)

Sure, sure. It's an endless cycle from this dev going back years. Lots of hype, big ideas & excitement, followed by abject moaning, lack of execution, blame shifting & pleading for understanding.

"I'll do better baby if you just give me one more chance...It'll be different this time, I swear. No one loves you more than me..." and the Patrons cream their panties once again in a virtual reenactment of battered woman syndrome.

Rinse & repeat ad nauseam. Note that the dev is never too withdrawn, depressed or frazzled to pause Patreon billing. You know, the way reputable developers do, because that would defeat the whole object of this dance.

Personally I have no sympathy and feel no empathy. Too many years of restarts, rewrites, planning etc without ever getting to the heart of the game. And I don't see anything in this latest Patreon cringefest to think that will change.

I don't agree on this. Some

I will just post this.

In a few weeks come back telling me for the 3rd consecutive (few weeks) time that Crush will release (in a few weeks) the update you promised for the (now) 4th consecutive time.

Go pay for an update that (most likely) will be like the 3 last uptades where Crush scrapped the game (2) times and introduced the fascinating world of make up and .... i think that's all.

And since you like being lied and scammed go suck the Top Gun protagonist member so he accepts you into scientology church.
I didn't promise you shit. You also didn't pay for shit, which I think devalues your opinion.

I think I'm pretty accurate at predicting what will happen based on the years I've been following this game.

I said:

Probably push an update just after billing cycle in late January. Something, something beta test feedback, pretty picture. Then slack for six months... Return to Bangkok in mid 2027 when patreons get bored. No, really.

Some people are so desperate to play this, their one game for life, they appear to think I am the game developer because I just don't hate the developer / just want them to do better, lol.

No idea why you're alluding to sucking Tom Cruise's or an F-14's dick. I can only imagine you're projecting, leaking your shameful thoughts. Enjoy... good for you, I guess!

It's 90% toxic in this thread because people love the game so much... want to play what the developer creates too much... they began to hate the developer, their success, (but not their precious game).

They think they are fans. In their collective mind, there's no higher praise than to hate.

Save yourself! I'm not stuck in here with them. They're stuck in here with me, one who still enjoys discussing this game.

Thank you so much for bringing up Within Your Eyes! I'd never even heard of it and now I can't stop playing!

It is a very different type of game though, no visuals for one. But I'm seriously loving it! Any other recommendations like it?

It's toxic because dumb bots like you pay him to literally do fucking nothing.

Brother, don't quote me again seriusly.

I don't want to have a conversation with someone who pay someone to develop a game since 2017 and today 21 January of 2025 game will be scrapped to 0 again on a future update that we don't know where will be because Crush it's "mental blocked" and decided that , instead of pushing the game content (that's been on hold since early 2024), we need to replay all early game because a new style of skirts are cool.

as far as html games of that caliber of writing, can't think of any.
fight club reborn was decent before it was abandoned cause the guy writing it escaped goonerdom, contest at houndsgate is pretty decent as well, but I doubt itll get finished because of slow pace, fake ai, inner empire, and obviously blue swallow.
My recommendations for good porn games in general would be: Knightly passions, Sanguine Rose, tyrant quest, seeds of chaos, third crisis, Uni, Aurelia, Claires quest, rise of the white flower, Our red string, naked ambition, lylas curse (abandoned).

A good list. I'd like to add The Goblin's Pet as an HTML game with good writing. And Animus Non Grata. Both completed games as well.

Thanks! Seems like a fantastic list! Too bad many of those are male or multiple protagonist games. :( Really loved Inner Empire, Blue Swallow and a few of the others. Still working on Third Crisis & White Flower!

I think I tried the Goblin's Pet. If it's the one I'm thinking it just got way too dark for me. :c ANG was great tho, at least from a sub PoV. <3

Bots are paying the developer to do nothing? Elon, is that you?

Brother, don't quote me again seriusly.
Or what, brother? Are you threatening me, brother? Say what you mean.

I'm getting weird stalker vibes from you. You're not a threat to me, personally. But I wonder if you need a wellness check due to your obsessive behavior. Reach out to someone, anyone you trust, before you continue down your spiral. Seriously.

It's 90% toxic because people feel they are being scammed ya fuckin' twit. The amount of mental gymnastics you have to pull to get to your conclusion is truly troubling.
Do you feel like you got scammed? How much did you, specifically, pay in total?

You should understand that if you are paying a monthly sub then you are paying for development not releases. There are other funding models e.g. pay on release, publishers, crowdfunding etc. If you don't like this model then... just don't pay. But stop crying about it. Because...

You are the bum outside the restaurant ranting that they should cook your meal for free.

This is you, all of you haters:
