I'm actually so depressed I caught up on this game and found out updates are so sparse. It's such a good game

It could be a good game, yes. Sadly it isn't. Then again, it has spawned a few spin-offs or inspired others to create games with a similar premise. You can even find them on the last few pages of this thread and I think they are far better in execution and making progress at a much faster pace than the original. FA has been surpassed by them already, which is quite telling, considering that they have been in development for a few months only.I'm actually so depressed I caught up on this game and found out updates are so sparse.

And it will be a ground-up reboot, because people who know a lot more about coding than I do (which is literally anyone who knows anything about coding) have looked at it and concluded that the bedrock programming choices Crush made when he did the last reboot make it impossible to implement the mechanics and do the things he wants to do. I don't understand it and it may not even be true, but it was pointed out more than once by different people over on his Discord. So we'll have a year of fucking around and pussyfooting by Crush, followed by the announcement of another restart, "This time I know exactly what I'm doing and where I want things to go, and if you believe that I have a lovely bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you."It could be a good game, yes.

FA is in its 7th or even 8th year and with the announced reintegration of the lifepath I can guarantee you that it will take another two years, before any progress will be made. Quite frankly, I'd go out and say that it will lead to a complete reboot of the game for a third or even fourth time, because there is no way you can integrate that stuff within the existing framework.
This is only partly true.And it will be a ground-up reboot, because people who know a lot more about coding than I do (which is literally anyone who knows anything about coding) have looked at it and concluded that the bedrock programming choices Crush made when he did the last reboot make it impossible to implement the mechanics and do the things he wants to do.

Expecting to have a unique flavor text based on choices during lifepath is not just unrealistic, it's borderline delusional. Something like that barely exist in AAA games so expecting it from Crush is laughable at best.The existing framework works just fine for what he actually does (not what he wants to do). Some people might be thinking that the game will end up adjusting the flavor text on a passage narrating an escape sequence on a bike based on whether or not you took three biking lessons or five during the lifepath...but that's just not going to happen, and it's not a fault of the framework.
Newlife kind of does it for sex scenes, based on the traits of both your character and the male you're with. The same "suck his cock" action can have a fairly good amount of variation.Expecting to have a unique flavor text based on choices during lifepath is not just unrealistic, it's borderline delusional.

What those choices could lead to is to have a beter chance of success (additional +1 or maybe +2 to the roll) IF he ever manage to integrate a meaningful dice rolls...

We got a graphical update to the release schedule before we got another step forwards in the story. did he get Victoria to draw this too so the fancy colours and pretty pictures would distract the supporters?Workflow
The MOABS has now become so big that it’s actually kind of hard to visualise. I’ve put together a calendar of story beats allowing me to easily move things around and visualise where the story beats we need can be inserted.
So...almost two years behind schedule?We got a graphical update to the release schedule before we got another step forwards in the story. did he get Victoria to draw this too so the fancy colours and pretty pictures would distract the supporters?
Mother of All BS is right on the money.
I wanted to take this chance to remind everyone that White Russian was supposed to be released on the 31st of October, 2022

much more than 2 yers actuallySo...almost two years behind schedule?
Graphical update...who gives a shit? It's a paper doll -- admittedly a high-quality paper doll, but it can never transcend the limitations inherent in the form. This came is not about graphics -- he's already rebooted once for graphics and it added essentially nothing. This fucking guy, I tell you.
I drastic disagree, is a good game and one of things i love about this game is its pace. But i don't know about how much slow the updates come or anything beyond the fact i played the game a lot in the last couple of days.It could be a good game, yes. Sadly it isn't.

Two things can be true at once. Is it a good game? Yes. Is Crush planning to retire on this game? Yes.I drastic disagree, is a good game and one of things i love about this game is its pace.

By this "FA is in its 7th or even 8th year" you mean this game is being developing for 8 years? if that is really the case that is sad, i just started play this week, loved the game.. but at this rate i'll never see much of it anymore.
This thread was started in 2017, so yes, it has been in development for at least seven years. Most of us will never see the final release, because most people here will not last that long. Neither will Crush for that matter.By this "FA is in its 7th or even 8th year" you mean this game is being developing for 8 years? if that is really the case that is sad, i just started play this week, loved the game.. but at this rate i'll never see much of it anymore. And looks like patrons would be with reason to get angry .
