I truly find it jarring that you are telling me to develop something as you beg for somebody else's source code. Somebody who, by the way, is still working on the game.

Continuing a project after its author's disappearance is possible, you need to look no further than Free Cities. Not that you'd need to, as Crushstation has offered you what you asked for already.
That's his point exactly, no? The author of Free Cities has clearly made the game open source since quite early in the game development. The PregMod project, the most advanced fork currently, was in fact started in parallel with the main development of the game. The intent was to be a mod of the game, not as a continuation of the project. So even if an author somehow stops and community wants to continue, author still has to express his permission and open the access to community so they can fork the source code. Because you know, intellectual rights stuff, right?

Keep sneering Dan, it suits you.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread lately, but regarding the source code: I've always been more than happy to share it and help others create or become creators – the more good games there are the better for everybody. DM me on Discord if you ever want to pitch an idea or just ask for help.
Hey Crush I'm only playing, we're all looking forward to the next iteration of your revamped prologue. I respect your attention to detail, all these code refactors to make the game simpler and quicker to write is time well spent after 3 years of work, we can all clearly see that speedy delivery of code is a top priority.

You are well aware that we are talking about the development of the game, not the final build of the version. Obviously, you won't do the whole game in one file, you will get lost, and displaying the file in the editor will slow down (due to syntax highlighting and code structure analysis).
I'm well aware of all of this, which is why I told Crush to split the current monolithic ~5MB text file into multiple files. That was back in May, I'm not sure if he ever actually refactored it. Hell, you can even go back to one of his posts explaining that it is indeed one single file.

Also, I'm highlighting it just so maybe Crush sees it and understands that it's not just me telling him that one file.
Tell me about it. :geek:

We use a really great text editor called , which makes the whole thing a bit easier to navigate and manage.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that. Sometimes I forget that many game developers use old development tools and methods, although even my friend's history consists of several dozen *. twee files being compiled into the final build.

Unfortunately, you didn't understand my point, but okay, it doesn't matter, the rays of good to you.

I keep visiting this thread from time to time to check if this game has finally moved from v1.6 point. Think last time I checked was a month ago and even then it has been at v1.6 for months already. Cant help but admire those folks patience who keep giving their hard earned money to Crush and getting nothing in return but bunch of pomodoros x)

Y'know what's reinvigorating my interest in F95? The ignore button

P.S. Constructively criticising me or the game is fine. Being a troll is also fine, troll away! I'm just done with listening to trolls

Man, trolling is the only constructive criticism we can give you at this point. Considering how you keep milking your patrons giving nothing in return but happy ass Patreon posts about: "guys, shit is getting better, I swear! I have found a new way to program old stuff so that new stuff will be here faster! Look how many code lines its in here in the game already, its a hard work Im doing right now!" You had your share of constructive criticism on older pages of this thread and what was your reaction? Pathetic excuses like "there are so many code lines in the game already its hard to program" or "I can do Bangkok right now but that will mean leaving game barebones" or some other shiz you always coming up with during years of milking your patrons.

Pity that current situation wont change unless at least half of your patrons will stop supporting you at once. Will never happen unfortunately.

Crush, at this point the only thing you are saying in your blog posts is "I'm making old stuff better so new stuff can come faster" except the "new stuff" you have been 'aiming at' for what, 2 years ? 1 and a half year ? this stuff never came, and the only thing we ever see isn't progress, it's remakes. You have the same problem on your patreon where you basically only agree with the people going your way and when you (rarely i might add) aknowledge another person's different point of view, it's for you to say "Don't worry we'll get there eventually" and even more rarely actually adressing their complaints.


Edit : Actually went through your "Kokblocked" post, and there you have it, u did not answer any of the patreon that adressed any points of worry after answering them once, usually by making a joke and not even answering the point that was made.

Also : Your weird ass update post after going silent

Regarding your plans for facial expressions with the new paperdoll, are you planing on adding any new ones that weren't part of the old system?

This was extensively addressed in my 11-page turnaround plan available .

"Kok blocked", posted last weekend, was specifically responding to patreon questions. I'm trying my best to keep up (especially on Patreon) but there are only so many hours in the day. I'm working on setting up a FAQ on the game website to try to respond better to the community. I do my best at comms, I'm sorry it's not good enough yet.

So misguided, and if you think it through you'll realise that I *can't* be earning a lot of money while doing nothing because if that were possible you'd do it so your analysis is wrong

Yeah we have some new capabilities here based on our new system of avatar layering. More on this soon but I expect the new avi to be more expressive than the old avi

Why is it that when you get called out about doing nothing your only comeback is "why don't you do it then"?
You had an intresting idea that you did develop and improved years ago so people caught on to it,but now,when the money is flowing in,you choose to drag it out,make updates that make no sense and try to ignore every critisism with "why don't you do it".The game at the start was interesting and something fresh but it seems like you just don't want to finish any part of it that matters cuz then the money will stop flowing in.
If you disagree then please feel free to tell me the updates that actually ment something in the last 2 years or so,not stuff like "added new origin city" or "added 3 new types of makeup"
Other than 3 repeated scenes and one that is uniqe but short and was added like 2 weeks ago,nothing of note changed
