Status Report

crushstation post Status Report from patreon

Hey guys! I’m sorry this report is so late. The truth is that I’m really struggling with the writing at the moment. I don’t know what to say except that I’m sorry it’s taking so long.

I’m working on it full time every day to get it ready for testing and release. The problem has been that what I’ve been pro...

[1.21] Skinnying down the episode

crushstation post [1.21] Skinnying down the episode from patreon

Hey guys! I'm sorry for being quiet here, and on Discord. I've been struggling with the writing in this episode, and it wasn't clear to me last weekend how to fix it.

For story reasons, we need to send the heroine back into the club for a barmaid shift. My idea to spice it up was to do something cool with wardrobe, and ...

Deep in a scene

crushstation post Deep in a scene from patreon

Hey guys! Sorry for being quiet, I’ve been deep in a scene.

Sometimes writing feels fast and easy, sometimes everything's difficult and it feels like a slog. This scene has definitely been a slog, requiring sacrifices of much blood, toil, tears and sweat just to get it to a rough first draft standard....

crushstation post [1.21] Prototyping [8/15 complete] from patreon

Hi guys! Just a quick update, as I’ve been very busy prototyping more scenes. It’s hard to talk about without spoilers, but:

  • A scene that wasn’t working got simplified and rewritten
  • A new scene, with two NPCs you’ll be seeing more of, got added (and completed)
  • A key scene...

crushstation post [1.21] Prototyping (5/14 complete) from patreon

Hey guys! I had another good, solid week of writing. I added two more scenes to the prototype build, (so that’s now 5 in total, of 14 planned), and nearly finished the third. I increased the number of lines in the code from 2209 to 4355.

crushstation post [1.21] Work started on the new episode from patreon

Hi guys! This week, I started production on episode 1.21 of Female Agent.

After the glam date with Kolya, and the empowering, action-packed Christmas episode, we need to get our heroine out of combat boots, back into heels, and back into the Hard Cock Cafe for a shift. (This is both for pacing reasons, and to insert a s...

Hi guys! Lovely Victoria and I have been working on a small Christmas present for you all.

It was ready on the 24th, but I know that the period after Christmas can sometimes be an anti-climax, so I kindly held it back until now.*

Hey guys!  Work on episode 1.20, "White Russian", is going well.

This episode is a lot less complex than the last one.  It's a side quest featuring Kate's (optional) date with Kolya, the broody Russian guy she met in the skybar in the early part of Girls' Night Out.

It's fully plotted, and I'm currently ...

Characterising Kate

Back in the early days of Female Agent, 59 players told me how they liked to play their heroine (called "Kate" in internal dev discussions, for convenience).

Four broad archetypes emerged:
