Happy St George's Day, bitches

Hey guys!  I'm busy editing scenes for next week's general release of episode 1.15.  Who says I don't know how to have fun on a Saturday night.

1.15 general release is on target for Friday 29th April.  I hope you'll like it!  I have a few ideas for workflow improvements to speed up 1...

Crush is risen

Hey guys!  After a tough ordeal, I needed to lie down in a dark room for a bit.  And today, I have risen.  But that's just another coincidence...right?

The good news is that feedback on 1.15 is positive and constructive.  Our awesome Analysts have provided some good ideas on how to improve t...

FA 1.15 Early Access

Greetings Analysts+!  Attached is the early access version of Female Agent 1.15.

I feel like it's still very rough, and I can't tell whether or not it's good anymore.  Please help me improve it by reporting bugs and feedback here or on Discord.

What's good?  What su...

1.15 Early Access is April 15

Hey guys!  I've been working my ass off trying to get it into good enough shape to release it today.  It's playable, but there's still placeholder text I wasn't able to finish (a couple of the mini scenes are hard to nail) and it still needs editing and tightening up in a few places.

This epis...

[Episode 1.15, week 13] Almost there...

Hey guys!  Episode 1.15 is nearly ready for Early Access.  As predicted in last week's report, I need to do a bit more writing.

Jeff sent me the processed avatar art yesterday (and it's looking awesome).  I'm gonna get that coded in next, then finish the writing!  We'll hopefully be ...

[Episode 1.15, week 12] Nearly but not quite done

Hey guys! I wasn't able to fix all 46 placeholders this week...I did 27, there are 19 left, so this episode isn't ready to release today.

Last week I was hoping that, if it weren't ready today, it'd be ready on the 31st (next Thursday). But I don't want to bullshit you: I need a day to ...

[Episode 1.15, week 11] Storyboard conversion complete

Hey guys! This week I transferred the storyboard into the game engine. Episode 1.15 is now written and (basically) working!

Don’t get it right, get it written
When writing this episode, instead of trying to get every scene exactly right, I sometimes used rough/placeholder text instead. (...

[Episode 1.15, week 10] Writing ✔️

Hey guys!  This week, I finished the main writing draft for this episode.  At last!  

This episode has been through some contortions to reach its final form.  In each version, the same plot events take place, but it took me a few tries to make them take place in an engaging way.  I'm happy with ...

[Episode 1.15, week 9] Praise Erato

Hey guys!  I'm grateful to those who made offerings to Erato on my behalf, because she blessed me with another greta week.

I think the writing will be ready in 1-2 weeks, which means Early Access is 2-3 weeks away (we need a ...

[Episode 1.15, week 8] A greta week

Hey guys!  I had a great week on writing, including a long manic session that started on Wednesday morning and finished at 4 A.M. the following day.

I'm normally disciplined in my writing hours, so it was exciting to just work long and follow the muse.  After two days of sobriety, I powered myself with booze a...

Progress report

Hey guys.  I was hoping to be able to report that we're on target for a release by Monday 28th, but I'm still solving problems with the writing. 😭

Where it's at
Right now our heroine does the following things in the next episode:

• Has a "morning after" scene wh...

[Episode 1.15, week 6] Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey guys, I love you all!

As you know, this episode's been more challenging to write than I expected.  Last week felt like a grind, where everything was difficult; this week feels like it flew by in comparison.

I changed a few things in the structure – basically spreading out some of the emotional beat...

[Episode 1.15, week 5] Moar writing

Hey guys!  I had a tough but productive week's writing.  It's getting there!  I expect the next episode will be ready to play sometime this month.

I'm finding that this stage of the story is pushing me outside my comfort zone as a writer.  I'm not that emotional in real life, so I fi...

[Episode 1.15, week 4] Back on track

Hey guys! Sorry for the late report, some unplanned chaos came up yesterday. But I had a much better week of writing last week, and I’m back in it today.  Here's a quick update.

Part of the solution involved zooming out and thinking about how episode 1.15 fits into the overall story structure, and I thought it mi...

[Episode 1.15, week 3] Writing isn't always easy

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
–Jack Kerouac

Hey guys!  I'm sorry to report that writing was challenging this week.  😔

Some weeks it's easy and I make fast progress; this wasn't one of those weeks.  I had what I...

[Episode 1.15, week 2] Moar Writing

Hey guys!  Writing week 2 was pretty good.  I finished the "setup" scene I began last week, and started on the main sexy scene from 1.15.

Writing is like chess in some ways.  You need to spend some time manoeuvring all your pieces into position before you can execute the vision in your head.  (Unless...

[Episode 1.15, week 1] Writing

Hey guys!  This week was spent writing.  I finished the 1.15 plot outline, and built the opening scenes in the game engine.

Next week: it's moar writing!  Writing's my favourite thing, even though I wish I could do it faster.

Even though sex scenes are the point of ...

Happy New Year!

Hey guys, Happy New Year!  I felt totally exhausted after the last episode drop, so I had a light week this week – mostly just doing bug fixes, admin and story planning.  I suck at resting, but I did my best.

In 2021 – while the rest of us were stuck indoors a lot of the time – our heroine 2022-01-02 13:35:21 +0000 UTC View Post
