This "Life Choices" reintroduction update has taken 1.5 years at this point. If it comes out and it's just a wet fart I'll probably just pull my sub.
Statements like this are probably why Crush never releases anything. If he releases something you are displeased with, you'll unsub, if not... you'll give him money indefinitely? Maximum incentive to just string everyone along as much as possible.

Very typical of Crush's non-reporting, because at what point will Patreons wise up to the tactic of forever moving goal posts? This graphic is epic in its accuracy. MFAGA, MOABS, and whatever plan or promise he comes up with next; it will be forgotten or replaced the following week with NEW SHINY OBJECT.

Just look how quickly the 5 scenes that need editing will never be mentioned again... If he's claiming to work to burnout / exhaustion, when will anyone hold him accountable to his own metric, so he has no more excuses to delay release?

No offense but I literally cannot fathom why someone would still be subscribed to him after all that's (not) happened. Crush has literally earned $100,000+ over the last 18 months by providing absolutely 0 meaningful content and just promising that eventually he'll probably maybe update his fucking game. At this point I have serious doubts that this new version of lifepath will even be as good as the original, much less better.
I've already expressed the suspicion that Crush actually sells drugs and conceals his income through FA sponsorship.

Compare with this article.

"Hey guys! I'm creating some detailed metrics on the amount of art remaining, so you can get a clearer idea of progress and time left, but it's taking quite a lot of time to organise and tabulate everything so I'll publish the report tomorrow. Sorry for the delay."

The fact that the numbers aren't even aligned properly is just chef's kiss
Does any further explanation need to be provided?

Oh wait i read it the other way, so in all this time he didn't do a single thing but add 0'1 scenes to his pile of work.

It's sad i am not even surprised

Does "Victoria" actually exist?
On Discord, yes. My belief has been everyone CS mentions are real people and get involved in the game in some way. Victoria possibly is somebody he actually knows in real life, but either way completes the artwork when Crush requests it.

truthfully, I don't care if this game gets finished or updated anymore, I'm moving on to complain any further is just noise and to return is to just be played

Interesting snippet from last week's report:


Quickstart version
I'm currently working on the quickstart version of the game, intended for those who want to skip the Lifepath and get straight into the main story. (It uses a dialogue scene with Clark and Olivia to set some of the story flags we need for later – this was a great idea by the Lost Engineer).

If this is finished first, we'll just release it so you can play with it
So the main thing he's been working on for the past however many months is Lifepath... but the next update likely won't contain any Lifepath content.

I don't want to take all the credit, but my F95 activity began almost eight years ago through this game. I've contributed countless suggestions and ideas (and some have probably been mentioned before me), so I always find it funny how he keeps passing off old ideas as new, just swapping out the players' names so they think, "Hey, great, my suggestions are being appreciated. Great dev, he listens to his community."
