I've always heard "jumped ship", but I guess that isn't quite the same thing. lol
Is that a 'Merican thing, or British? haha

'Merican.
It started with an old tv show called Happy Days. The writers had nothing more to offer so it was thought a good idea that everyone would go to the beach and watch Fonzi... you guessed it, jump a shark - on water skis

"Jumped the Shark" menas that something has reached its peak and is now going downhill. It is a reference to a plot point from the US TV series "Happy Days" where "The "Fonz", a character who is the very epitome of a "cool greaser" from the 1950's, is out water skiing and literally jumps over a shark during the scene. The viewing public woke up to the fact that the show writers had run out of ideas, were starting to put out shit and began to switch the channel or turn off the set.

If "jumped the shark" means, the game is going downhill, i have to contradict. On the contrary, it's just really getting started. There was now the first update, which also includes the first sex. The story goes on as well, there are indications that there are conflicts between the gangsters. Which in turn promises interesting Story courses. If what is happening now, means for you, the game is going downhill, then I wonder what you expected.

I think the majority of the world (or at least the US) knows who Fonz was lol. But, yeah, I remember the episode and just didn't think about it.

Don't be so sure of that. Even in the US, the public has been pulling the cord on cable for so long that whole generations have missed seeing what you or I might have watched in prime time back in the 70's or 80's. Who's going to bother watching reruns on Nick at Nite when we can just as easily watch tanks frost over in Boca Chica Texas on youtube as they get filled with cryogenic fluids? There's probably as much plot development there as there is on some of the fare being passed off as reality TV nowadays. Fonzie jumping that shark was probably the death knell for broadcast network TV as well.

There's been plenty of good stuff on TV since Happy Days. It's all opinion, though. I think the only reality TV show I ever thought anything of was Real Life and Road Rules in the 90s lol. The rest were all just copy cats who couldn't get it right.
I was born in 81. Any Fonz I saw was reruns on Nick At Nite. lol
I was watching Taxi and Welcome Back Kotter a lot in those days, as well.
I do know there are a ton of younger people who couldn't give two shits about anything before their time, though, so not knowing who Fonz was is likely.

Hey DS23G!!
I played v0.14, was interested in seeing more and I've been following the progress in this thread since.
I see that you've taken an approach which suggests a slower pace of updates (which is completely fine in my opinion, since I myself am a developer).
But it suggests that it would take a while before we see anything close to completion. So, my question is..
(According to the current pace of updates) Would it actually be in 2028, that we get to see the v1.0 of this game?

Well, considering the game is supposed to last a week or two, it should escalate quickly. It's not like those criminals can sit in that house for a year or two.

I hear a holiday visit to the country coming and the sounds of a banjo getting picked.

Yeah, you're right.
But still, the criminals could have pushed her more slowly.
I mean, she just
