Look, this variant of "I'm almost there this time for real, I swear" took a lot of effort to craft. You gotta pony up that $2 if you wish to read it.

New post from Subscribestar (still a dick move to lock it behind a paywall IMO):
Huge The Good Son News
I am pleased to announce a big change of plans for The Good Son. I started this game about 5 years ago on Twine and frankly, the engine isn't up to par anymore for my vision of this game. Therefore I have over the past few weeks begun tearing the game down to its foundations and rebuilding it in Unity. This is all about Making The Good Son Great Again. We should start calling it The Great Son. It will be fully in 3D with an open world where you can go to university, the gym, and the hospital, and use real-currency monetary micro-transactions to accelerate your feminization journey. The first update (including the first three days of game play) will be out by the end of this year. The full game will be out by the year 2099.
...
I'm just kidding, obviously. Can you imagine?
Okay, here's the real update. We're damned close to finishing the game. And I actually have a lot of free time between now and early May. My ambition is to release v1.0 by mid-May. That's not a promise, but an estimate based on how close we are, now. If we go past that time, we won't be going past it by much because there's just not too much content left to make.
v1.0 will probably be full of bugs so the weeks after release will be full of hotfixes to address them. I'll try to deal with anything game-breaking before it goes out, but no promises.
I should be active on Discord over the next few weeks, as developing this game is basically all I'll be doing during working hours.
The final sprint begins.
Your patience over the past... checks calendar... very long time means a lot to me. Like, a ton. Now I get to deliver on what I promised.

Cleaning the Cobwebs
It's good to be back. So, how have things been going?
Returning to the code of The Good Son after so many months was, honestly, pretty bewildering. I mean, I learned how to use Twine, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (a little bit) all at once, on this very game... and it shows. Just passages and links everywhere. All kind of variables tracking random but important details, choices, conditions, and so on. So February was about getting my bearings, and then getting into content.
I'm happy that I've been able to plug in about two hours or so into development most days (like today!) in the late evening / night. I've made some decisions around the content of the next update that will keep the content required under control. Dates post-surgery will be kept to a minimum. This is necessary, since there are so many options. Think about it, you have nine potential lovers, and most of those can have sex scenes pre- and post- bottom surgery! That's a lot of scenes. So I needed to keep the options under control, so I could keep the scenes under control, so I could keep the workload under control. You get it.
Scenes are coming along well. The return to the Cauldron / main story content is moving along, too. Cauldron scenes post-bottom surgery are next. Honestly, as long as I keep things reasonable, this won't be such a massive lift to get done.
And it feels good to be back.
In the background, I've also been sketching out the next big plot point for Girl Spy. Basically what happens in Paris, the next city (Amsterdam) and then from there arriving in Rome. It'll be sweet. More details later.
Thanks to those still subscribed during my self-imposed exile. To the rest of you, I'm of course keeping posts like these public so you can know how things are going. Love you all, looking forward to talking about more specifics soon.
"I know this is a transformation-themed game where you can actually transform completely into a woman, but giving you some actual content with your ROs after that transition, it'd be just too much work, you understand."
Imagine someone waiting *checks notes* literal five years for this.
I'll say this, I'm willing to believe we'll see a Girl Spy update at some point - this year, next, 2027, I'm at least willing to believe we'll see one eventually. Which is more than I'm willing to bet on Female Agent.

Pity this was abandoned. It was such a good game. Well written
Read through the recent posts, looks like the game should be getting a final update soon
Timeline and sarcasm aside, that's a perfectly good argument. I'd rather have a few bespoke scenes for each scenario than a couple dozen scenes where the only difference is which orifice or genital is mentioned in the text.
From experience with other games which handle things in such manner, i'd have to conclude that having scenes where the only difference is the genitals mentioned in the text are quite fine -- you are only seeing one variant of each scene per play through, so the similarity is of little concern, while actually having a number of scenes instead of next to none in your play through is a definite plus.

Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six
