HTML Abandoned Female Agent [v1.20.1p] [Crushstation]

[rbx4]

I think that more progress could be made if less time and effort was being spent arguing with disliked feedback. This is the Internet after all, and there are many creators here who take feedback very personally. There are others who let it go and ignore it when they don't want it. I suggest that those who let it go get more work done. Here, several people have a tendency to try to prove that all disliked feedback is fundamentally invalid, which is a particularly wasteful and vain pursuit on the Internet.

After all, nobody on the Internet has truly believed that they were wrong. This has never happened before and it never will happen, no matter how much time is spent trying. Like I said, these aren't the only people on forums who do that, but here it seems that an excessive and very noticeable amount of time is spent doing that. If people just ignored most feedback that they don't like, this series of events would not generate such a meme.

Still, people tend to stick to their natures. If time was not wasted on this, it would be wasted on the next, slightly less engaging, distraction.

This thread is the 4chan of F95.

Drowned in negativity from opinionated anonymous coomers who fake-believe they could do so much better at game development if only they could recover their dominant hand from constantly strumming their genitals for five minutes to knock out 10,000 words of superb porn plot.

How about you just acknowledge just how much you personally enjoy playing their game before you start whinging on your impotent rants about how the developer is so dumb and how you would make a better game?

I'm calling you all out. None of you can make a better game. I would like to see you try. Prove me wrong: where's your greta game?

This thread is the 4chan of F95.

Crush literally linked Girl Life when replying to me. I'm not gonna say its better (that's way too subjective), it is far, far more active though. For 7 years I've been the community leader and a major contributer. I host the repo and post all the updates, oversee many projects, run the sub-forum on TFGS, the thread on F95 and the Discord and co-ordinate the whole team.

So what's your fucking amazing game called?

That whole "okay make a better game, and faster, if you think you're better" is a bit disingenous when phrased like that. Rephrase it to "okay, make a better game, do it faster, without having a day job while earning close to 6k monthly*and with collaboration from a community and other people dedicated at the job" Oh and that's without the whole "Having X years of experience in the same project" aspect.


Basically, it's like watching a guy with an excavator take years to dig a hole and saying "Yeah well, I bet you can do it faster - but do it with just your bare hands".


* I'm well aware that he doesn't actually get the full 6k thanks to fees and whatnot, and that the other people in the team (probably) get paid as well, but even after that, it is a sizeable amount that can't really be ignored or thrown away as beer money.

Well also the refrain "you can't criticize a game if you have not completed a well-known game" is invalid, and always has been, but it gets repeated here endlessly. I have completed games, but I'm not going to invite people to flame-war my games due to someone simply being butthurt and ultra-sensitive to complaints. I will happily remain anonymous and well-separated from my own games here thank you very much.

That said, people who play games should be allowed to disapprove of games. Who are you making a game for, if players are not allowed to disapprove?

Even after all these years this is still one of the only adult games with a sexpionage theme. This is part of the problem: not that there aren't better games around but lack of games with the sexpionage theme. Not a lot of alternatives if you're into sexpionage even with male MC instead of female which is surprising when we consider that there's a whole popular genre of spy fiction with huge titles like James Bond, Mission Impossible, etc. Lack of competition in the sexpionage theme (especially those with a promise of a highly customizable MC and RPG-like mechanics) means that Crush effectively has monopoly on it. The solution is of course for other devs to make their own version of sexpionage adult games so that people will have more alternatives to choose from but sadly it seems that very few devs are interested for one reason or another. Just my two cents that I have repeated several times already in this thread.

Well people should make what they are passionate about making. I suppose there is a different passion in consumption of content versus creation. Making content takes a great deal of effort and discipline, and there are times when it is not fun. Crush is actually quite good at what he does, which is mainly blogging about game creation, but when he does produce a product it is also good. I won't be making a sexpionage game anytime soon, but the existence of Female Agent should not stop anyone from following their dreams if they want to make one.

If directors and actors can get paid millions to make super shit, worthless movies that pander to specific audiences, surely we can scrape together several thousand a month in patreon and get a decent porn game made.

If there's an audience there should be someone seeking to exploit it.

Theoretically, yes, and sometimes actually it happens. We've established a while back that making a great game does not predictably result in deserved support. There are quite a few really good games out there that make barely a few hundred per month. Some get developed anyway even with that relatively small amount of support. Instead, I think that good visuals in Patreon and regular engaging communication result in better support. It's more a lesson in things: you can make the best game in the world, but if nobody knows about it or checks out the page, few or none will support it.

Yeah let's take one totally out of the ordinary example to justify one of the worst support\content ratio of every project posted on this site

Yes, Crush is seeking to exploit the sexpionage game audience. The discussion was about what exactly "exploit" means in this case, so I guess that shitty movie reference was your comparing him to Uwe Boll?

Crushs open world concept will be different than traditional sandbox games. It will just be optional missions/choices/paths, whatever you want to call it. Basically the game becomes non-linear or has short branching side quests (though the sidequests themselves would all be pretty linear). Non linear implies those paths continue to the end, but no they would really be side quests that do end and affect the MCs stats. Whereas there will also exist non-linear main story paths for different endings possibly but unlikely until the game is completed.

So these side quests will basically be events that happen on the side, from sleeping with clients to espionage missions, etc. You don't need a map to do this, and part of the sandbox part would be you get to buy/design your own wardrobe. But mainly you can just present different options on the screen to start missions... either in the MCs hostel or at her bar job or at the safe house via her laptop/phone or in conversation with her support team.

Perhaps later on failing to do/complete certain side missions a certain way will affect the ending of the main story as well.

I'm pretty sure crush could write like up to 10 side quests and have them completed in the same time frame it takes him to do updates currently, depending on how long they are. He would be better off outsourcing some of these side quests to other writers/volunteers who write them... and then just editing them for style and content and putting them together, since this will save him time... but it also depends how well those writers can write.

but yeah i could see this game having 50+ quests within a year? again depending on how long they are, some would be short, some medium, some really long. potentially side quests could be things that continually get added to the game even after the game is finished. so there would eventually be a lot. once there is a good base number crush would continue with the main story. probably before sidequests he would bring back the life path and start using the character sheet since sidequests would also affect the character sheet?

sidequests would be linear mini stories though... perhaps branching them slightly in places would be possible, but it would be like designing 2 side quests and would take additional time, so i can't see this happening unless it was just 1 scene at the end that changes depending your choices throughout the whole side quest. and yeah many of these sidequests would be about kinks/sex with clients, maybe humiltation kink, or exhibitionism, or gangbangs etc. and there is some sort of mission involved with the client, potentially or the sex with client is some way to build trust within the organization she's trying infiltrate. maybe it's the only way to get that client to invite the MC to a party that she needs to attend in the main story line. or perhaps she needs to collect info on how all these special VIP clients operate/fit into the crime organization shes investigating. it's optional to get some of this intel etc. but maybe the intel helps her later in the main quest with dialogue choices or in her espionage mission because she knows what to expect. like camera placements because she had a gangbang in that place rofl.

I simply like this Game. The Art, the idea of the story and the pictures my fantasy creates, if im reading it.
And im having enough patience to wait for every single update. If its takes weeks or Months, im fine with it. There are enough
games out there, to pastime. The last Point: i can play it for free so thx for your work, Crush.

Hey guys! I wanted to be able to report that the scene 6 draft is working in the engine, but it's not quite there, despite my best efforts.
This scene has been so fucking challenging to design and I'm still not sure it will end up as good as it should be. I spent long, long hours this week trying to make it as awesome as I was picturing it in my head, and feeling frustrated and inadequate because I'm not able to do it. But the current design is as good as I can make it.
I'll finish it off next week, and move onto the final two sex scenes in this episode. I'm sorry this is taking so long, I'm working as hard as I can. Progress report next week.

This HTML element is all you need to make our heroine have abs at any point in the game, simply hit f12, click on the avatar with the picker and add the line as an element and the abs overlay is fitted in place.

As to why this isn't something you can choose to have from the beggining, it's a mystery.

Sadly the element gets overwritten every single time you advance the game or if you customize your character from the game itself. It would be possible (and extremely simple) for the dev to simply add an abs on/off toggle.

I worked on small-time video game projects for years as both a designer and a spriter. The reason why I come to threads like these time and time again is that, from personal experience, I've noticed that a great deal of these games follow the same spiraling pattern of having their ambition crush any hope of delivering a complete product one day. It's even worse when it comes to Patreon-funded projects since the service provides a safety net of money and blind support. Just look at High Tail Hall, for example. Crowchild been making a living off of it for around a decade now and he's barely made any real progress for half of that time. He doesn't have to; his support isn't drying up anytime soon, and neither is Crush's.

Lifeweb contribution sprites don't count as game development experience.

I guess Crush kinda forgot about Euron's f... the abs.

I guess Crush kinda forgot about Euron's f... the abs.

The abs are gained during the lifepath (before you become an agent), if you are athletic in college and join a varsity team. Once the lifepath is linked to the main game, I imagine athletic agents will probably retain their abs.

And maybe other agents could get abs in Bangkok by working out a lot, who knows.

Thinking that's the only thing I've worked on after all these years in the field is laughable at best, but I'm not arguing it here.

Trying the game..is there any sexual encounter the first day as barmaid? It seems all the choices (how you respond\interact with others and such) don't have any tangible effect.

I don't really remember what happened the first day, but like you said, the game is very linear. So if you didn't encounter any sex scene then there isn't one.
