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

Is the old 1.6 version worth playing? Does it have more story than the current version?

The 1.6 build mostly covers the same stage 1.11 version does (early and university years, effectively character creation) followed by slightly different intro to main mission, a short training mission and then ends at what is the optional mission in Maylasia in the current release. So, if you've played both the current build and 1.11 then there's little of value you'll find in 1.6 (in the sense you've already seen most of it) But whether it's worth playing is really up to you.

I might start offering video tutorials on Sugarcube if people think it's so difficult. I get the impression that people are picturing Crush digging a 10 kilometer ditch with a plastic spoon while having a 100 kilo weight strapped to his back. He might be doing just that, but the only reason for that is between his chair and keyboard, or more accurately, between his two ears.

His difficulty is actually in coming up with what to write, not with the tech. Just about anybody can make a Sugarcube game if they really wanted to. It's hardly more difficult than writing in Microsoft Word, and you have to fight it less than you do Word.

Long term plan then, since I am actually working too much to do it right now. If I do it with proper presentation on YouTube it has the possibility of being worth my time in revenues. I doubt that #sugarcube will bring in the viewers since only a small audience knows what it is, but if presented right it has a chance.

It's probably better to start with

, since Sugarcube is just one of extensions on top of Twine. The

are mostly useful for details like proper syntax and options for functions, APIs etc once you have rudimentary grasp on basic concepts.

My first project, several years ago, was actually in regular old Twine. After a while, I wished I had done it in Sugarcube instead, and then did. Nowadays, I mostly use more generally useful languages such as Python since Python skills are vastly more portable.

If someone says they are struggling to get things done in Java, I can sort of get that, or getting their graphics done on time in Daz 3D or doing things in Blender. There are devs that work with these relatively fast, but not someone who started fresh a week ago.

Played the game first time today i enjoyed the game, it has potential. Can´t wait for next update keep up good work.

If it has zombie-like life then maybe it's because mockery, rejection and trashing do poor job as actual rebuke. After all, what would you be rejecting and mocking, exactly? A good advice to make allegedly easy living with good income?


That's great news. Care to provide some names and/or links? If what you've done is better then there's very good chance i'll enjoy it.

No need to bring zombies into this.

Just saying, if somebody knows a legal way to make more money than they otherwise could, that they can do and want to do, and they decide not to do it, there's a phrase for that: financial irresponsibility. I kind of look at it the same way that fast food works. They make billions of dollars selling food that is far, far worse than what I could make cheaper at home, sometimes basically selling poison under the guise of food, when E. coli lingers in it. Still, nobody is forcing people to buy fast food in most cases. Fast food restaurants found a way to offer an inferior product in a way that outcompetes superior products. Can't blame them. Can blame the consumers, but there are more of them than there are of me. If they stampede, I'm a goner, especially the 400 pounders.

Damn it I read 400 pounders as massive burgers and now I'm hungry.

Kevin is braver than I am, as everyone can see. That said, I would donate to Girl Life if only it were possible. I would proudly work on it if I wasn't already swamped with work.

Donate to tfgames if you want as they host our git which allows us to more easily work on and make GL. But we don't, won't take money for GL. It is and always will be 100% free.

Quit your job, then you will have lots of time to come work on GL with us.

Will do! Everyone will understand I think. If not, I will tell them Nutluck said it was ok, and then they will get it.

Hey, feels like half of all games at this point squeezed in some zombies in attempt to cash on the fad. Might as well try it in a forum thread.

We don't have zombies in GL, other than the one working on the game named Kevin.

That's honestly good to hear, there's very few things i dislike more than these ._.

(no offense to Kevin, he sounds alright)

Where does FA fit?

IMO the character creation part is S-tier. Like many others, I first came across a build of this game, which had nothing except the (old) character creation. I was hooked. It felt fresh and different. I didn’t know what was going on, but I really wanted to know, what happens next. Of course, when I reached the end I discovered, the character creation system didn't have an actual game attached to it ... yet

Bangkok, IMO, is A-tier. The writing is better than most porn games, but doesn't quite reach S-tier for me. I don't really care that much about what happens to the MC, her co-workers, Noodles, Connor or anyone in the story. Still, maybe it has the potential to be S, if Crush has some good plot twists in his sleeve...

In my opinion, FA's writing isn't bad because it's poorly written. It's bad because it's lacking content and REALLY slow.

For analogy, imagine there is an essay assignment that require 20 pages of solid body of texts. This game is a 5 page introduction that has very good grammar and flow, and also two semesters past due.

I'm all for talking shit about the speed at which Crush releases content. That said, saying the writing "isn't bad because it's poorly written. It's bad because it's lacking content and REALLY slow." is basically saying the writing isn't bad. Crush's writing is definitely above average for this site but it kinda has to be since it doesn't have any sexy art/renders to fall back on.

If he could get to a point where he releases an update a month, or even every two months, with similar content as the last few updates I would probably reup my pledge to him that has set idle for years now. Doubt that will happen though. He's built the barn, acquired the machine, and led the cows inside so I imagine he will just continue the milking process.

Well, thanks whichever saint finally got through to Crush on the timeliness issue. We got multiple updates, and whole PARAGRAPHS too! If you complain about lack of content, please go to Patreon to read all the past updates. He's even proposed another technique called beat sheets (after pomodoro, sprints, MFAGA plan, schedules etc). Me, I just wanna beat meat.

Here's a super secret shortcut from a little known writer called Jodi Picoult - just show up and write daily. In her words, "You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page." Alternatively, in the words of Drew Carey, "Welcome to "Whose Line Is It Anyway" the show where everything's made up and the points don't matter."

That is very true, how i write once i get to the actual writing stage is. I write it all out and finish the scene or string of events I am working on. Then I set it aside and work on something else, later I go back, typical a few days, but sometimes weeks later and reread what I wrote. Almost always i then start making changes so what I wrote flows better, is a bit more descriptive etc. I might do this 2 or 3 times, I always do it at least once. Then I ask someone else on the team to proof read it and fix any grammar or spelling mistakes I made, that I missed on my reread and didn't fix.

I think that is a good thing for any writer to do. Because we know in our head how the scene/event is and it makes sense in our head as we write. But wait long enough and then come back and reread it, you tend to notice things where it could be more clear etc. Even more so when someone else edits it, sometimes people that edit my work will ask questions or even point out things they find not as clear as it could be on my intent and then I can rewrite those small parts yet again and make it better.

Now I am not saying I am a great writer, I am not. If I was I would do it for a living, but anyone can be a decent writer with some time and effort.
