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

[cd13]

I kinda also disappointed with this game and direction it currently takes. I do not care much about update frequency because I do not pay for the access and therefore it is not really my place to complain about it. But what is disappointing for me is a change of narrative direction between the Prologue and actual story.

Prologue was refreshingly normal in most of its scenes. Young woman was doing sexy things in it because she wanted to and it is exceedingly rare among porn games. But the main story goes on the well-trodded road of corruption which is almost every single game with female protagonist on this site. I guess it sells but it also very very boring.

Female protagonist with a fucking agency is much more interesting for me than number nine thousand doll to be abused and pressured into situations she doesn't want to be in.

Yes, I have the same complaint. What drew me to the game initially was the idea that our agent was a badass who kicks ass and also uses her sexuality to make things go her way. Instead, we get a character who is docile, ready to be used and abused like the million other female protagonist games we see on here.

I was a bit disappointed with this update... I'd probably suggest waiting for the next one if you can wait.

Was there a new update?

Was there a new update?

There's an early release out for Patreons - it goes public on the 14th.

Was there a new update?

There was a link posted a couple pages back

If you don't get the information you need from a random guy on the internet who has nothing to do with the project, I'm Crushstation#8544 on Discord

Hey. It's not just about getting answers(which is great), but rather a process of discussing topic at hand. I assume you're not going to spend your day going back and forth with me while discussing 'Female Agent'? You're working at the game. But maybe this guy will.

It's an invitation to a conversation, as much as thought process.
Journey, not a destination.
Thanks for answering.

This is astute. I actually do hope to go through the existing content and add in width/backstory callbacks. Of course, this will take time, because work takes time.

it took 3 years to build titanic, we are here for 5 years and we are far away from interior decoration. so, yes it took time.
and you are again repeating mistakes. now you are again multiplying trivial choices like lipsticks, eyeliners, mascara, shoes, panties... which have no impact on the game and some of them are pretty hard to see on mc's avatar. waist of time
your time management is at least poor or you do it in purpose to extend game's life. years spent on intro, adding and removing options and yet basically nothing happened. 1 year of real work (mostly when mc reached bangkok) and 4 years of idle experimenting.

lets not forgot "hey guys i'm so poor at time managment that i need to spilt this update that i have worked on for four months in to 5 parts" don't get me wrong i really like his writing and the idea of FA but jesus man sort you self out.

It's split in 2 parts, not 5.

I count 5 parts to be released

If you'd actually read the first line of the post you've attached, you'd see that it says "we're going to release the episode in two parts". And then he informs about the contents of those two parts, before he writes about three additional side quests that he also gives us the release schedule for. Those were never the same episode. They're the next ones.

And what's the problem with releasing it in two parts, thus giving us a chance to play some of it earlier? How is that of all things a proof of poor time management?

It's not difficult to find things to criticize about the development of the game, but the massive circlejerk obsession on this thread to find new things to ridicule every single time a new update is posted, is just a bit pathetic to be honest.

So, 14th?
Got it.

Having to delay all or part of something is literally the definition of poor time management.

For how little content there is in each update (and I can’t stress that point enough), there’s no excuse for it to take so long to release updates, never mind splitting them into even smaller chunks.

4 months of “I’m making great progress”, only for him to deliver half an update with some bizarre story about his massive blue balls making it difficult for him to chase a runaway dog?

Of all the pity posts he makes to excuse his incompetence, that’s the stupidest one yet.

But nothing has been delayed. No release date was given before the decision to split the update in two parts. If you're looking for something to legitimately criticize in that post and the release schedule, one could've pointed to how the time before the first early access and between the general release and the second early access equals four weeks, while the previous Patreon post mentioned three weeks to complete the writing—and that a total of four weeks to polish the early access versions into general releases seems exaggerated. (See, I did the job the poster I was replying to could have done.)

But claiming that the update was split in five parts when the second sentence in the screenshot you're posting explains that it wasn't; that's just another example of how people try to find something to ridicule about every. single. thing. Crush communicates to his followers.

 

[Tallyhoe]

I’m just glad we have exact dates for release timeline.

Now watch Crush unable to meet it, as always.

If this was made into an erotic spy-thriller novel, the writing's probably good enough to be a best seller.
Having it be more streamlined with a single story/choice path would also ease up on Crush's workload/months of storyboarding, delivering on a solid, coherent product in a shorter time.

I can see it work as a lil' 300 page book

- Ch. 1 - Introduction - Childhood, College, Sexual exploration and academic achievement
- Ch. 2 - Recruitment, training, (hypno?)
- Ch. 3 - First mission: Dubai
- Ch. 4 - Bangkok, first nights, bar job, recon
- Ch. 5 - Bangkok, first contact, infiltrating seedy underground crime scene
....

Maybe even start the story in media res, Bangkok, and intercut it with flashbacks to the MCs childhood and agency training between chapters

But...it's already a single story/choice! There was a point to be made when the lifepath was a think, that there were pretty different branches (between the country of origin+how uni happened, there was a decent amount of variation).

But currently, the "choices" you get are either "Don't do this" leading to a Game Over or "Do this but in a slightly different way" that simply adds a bit of extra flavour text for a couple of slides.

this is nothing new, it is his trade-mark

i don't believe it is about incompetence here. business as usual

Don't give him ideas to sidetrack to, we want the game done first

I know many people in the publishing industry, as well as a number of published authors. I don't see it.

He would just butt heads with the editor and never get it done...His writing style would need a lot of massaging/ editing and I don't think he'll take it well.
