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

[cheesepie]

Skyrim took like 6 years and the game is full of bugs, the fighting system sucks and the "Classes"(Aka skills trees) also suck.

Thou professes the divine truth that Skyrim was an unmitigated disaster of a game, cursed by critics and players alike and doomed to have no sequels or forever to be bound in development hell. I confess to be as retarded as it is terrible, for fear of an arrow to the knee.

By Sept 2023 (Year 6) I'd be glad to play a true version 1.0 Female Agent which is full of bugs, with any gameplay that sucks, that has "Classes"(Aka life path) which also suck because hey, patches and mods exist but right now CONTENT does not. I do find it weird though that game devs seem to have no standard versioning requirements. One of the reasons I tried FA is because I though version 1.0 and above are finished content wise (barring DLCs, patches etc)

Anyway, only 2 ways to respond to criticism:
1) acknowledge constructive feedback and adapt to get better outcomes (in this case, faster releases to finished game)
2) ignore and delete this comment, then come up with another update (aka excuse)

If Crush ever reads this, I sure hope you are the former (growth mindset) rather than latter because there's always something to blame. You are a talented writer, so please set MFAGA timelines and KEEP TO THEM.

How fair is comparing this game to Skyrim?

Skyrim is running on engine called Gamebryo, which was created in 2001 and since then turned into a Frankenstein of a video game engines, working with it is tedious and you're quite literally struggling in order to make it work. Lookup history of Gamebryo, it's quite entertaining.

In our case Crush is not struggling with Twine/Sugarcube, he's not struggling drawing visual assets or making music. Crucial bottleneck is writing, for some mysterious reason he's taking forever to write scenes and dialogues. Is he Mayakovsky?

That is why I don't think FA and Skyrim is comparable.

Well, it's been a while, but personally I'm glad to see the main mission finally progressing.

That said: is it weird that I find myself missing the training missions? The wet t-shirt nights and the hypno conditioning and so forth? I can see that a lot of people might have been keen to get on with the new stuff, but it would be nice to have an option to play the old content, or just to skip it if you'd done it ten times before.

Without getting into technicalities (It's "technically" not called Gamebryo now yaddayadda) but even then, it's not going to fly. And yes, I agree with you that the problem is writing, not the engine, but since people somehow seem to be fixated on Gamebryo/Creation Engine...

Fallout New Vegas was made in 18 months (and yes, it was and is pretty buggy) and the developers praised the game engine for how quick it made it to cobble everything together.

So no, Skyrim and FA are not comparable for many reasons, but one of them is that if you actually want to compare them, FA loses on so many fronts it's embarrassing.

I need a count of people who think that a Skyrim/FA comparison is meaningful, for raisins.

 

[Nope]

Once you have counted them, make sure you lead them to their padded rooms.

It's like comparing apples to Harrier Jump Jets. There's a few points of similarity, but there really isn't much you can infer about either one from a detailed examination of the other.

i've had this game on my list of "looks nice, i'll play it when it has more content." since its first friggin' update .
patreon was a mistake.

Take your time crush, and my hard earned money. Take my kidneys too, I don't need em.

No wonder there's such a disparity between the rich and the poor. People have no fucking sense.

Hey guys! I'm recovering well from COVID. I'm getting tired early and sleeping a lot, but I'm improving every day and feel almost back to normal. Thanks to everyone who sent me well-wishes, your good vibes obviously worked.
I got back to work this week, and here's where we're at with the much delayed next episode:

I feel like the hardest parts are done now (build-up scenes are much harder to write than sex scenes), so I'm anticipating fast progress. It won't be ready by Wednesday 30th, but it should be ready in the early days of next month. I will keep you posted and I apologise again for how long this has taken.

Coming soon – dynamic NPC avatars
A little thing we're working on! An important part of the mission and the story are the NPC bargirls. Currently their avatars are just AI generated headshots:

Our illustrator lovely Victoria is working on something cool – dynamic NPC avatars, whose appearance changes based on what's happening in the scene. Concept art:

The idea (which I think was based on a suggestion by Falconeer) is basically to add more eye candy to the game. It's one thing to read about the heroine's friends and colleagues stripping off for a pole show or a girl/girl oil fight: our hope is that getting to see some original art will add a little something special to those scenes.
This feature should debut in the next episode. Please let us know what you think when you see it!

That's actually a good idea. The current NPC avatars aren't very attractive and I'd even say they look kind of creepy.

Well, it's nice to see that he is lowering his standards to "good enough" rather than perfect which I guess it used to be. But looking at his own list of things to do he still has just under half the items that need work, so I guess we may see 117 for the new year if we are lucky.

The new NPC avatars will be nice though, the pictures currently used really need to be replaced.

When was this update supposed to come out, end of September? So if we get it for the new year it will only be 3 months late.

These clothing mods were already implemented during the date with boss. They add to the sexiness but due to the effort it requires, we may see less options to choose what you wear in the future scenes.

[Tallyhoe]

He's been delaying it past three 30th and still hasn't finished the first sex scene lol

 

[CassieBare]

^ Yup. I mean, goddamn. I can write a sex scene in an hour, let alone 2+ months

 

[leg28]

covid? what's is going to be next delay reason? ebola? aliens?
btw wasn't it almost done few weeks ago? anyway nothing in 2022.

Not so harsh guys! Take your time, Crush!

This dude promised a September 30th release. And has since waddled his way to an early December release. This is honestly amazing. Crush has managed to piss away 2 fucking months and none of his patrons have dared criticize him for it.

not exactly true some of us did criticise him, but most I will admit just encouraged him to delay even further. after his second excuse, I cancelled my sub as I saw no reason to continue paying for excuses, when he finally gets around to actually providing content I may re-subscribe.
