Hey guys! Five more tasks have been completed:
Hi everybody, hope you're staying safe and at home if you can.
We made progress on three tasks today, and completed three more:
Hey guys! With the design doc for 1.7 completed, I got back to work on 1.6 today. It took me a little while to get back into the groove of this scene, but I finished a cool task today:

Hi guys! I finished the 1.7 (Bangkok Intro) design doc today, and shared it with the team. I'll let you know their feedback.
Tomorrow I'm planning to switch back to working on 1.6, which we're aiming to release ASAP. (The only thing that might derail that is if there's a lot of feedback/discussion on the design doc.)
I'll post an update tomorrow. See you then!

Hey guys! Here's a progress update on the strategy meeting, as promised. I have seven things to report:
1: Version 1.6 progress update
1.6 (new Dubai sex scene) is nearly done and will be released soon.
2: Change of plans for 1.7
My intention for 1.7 was for it to be an upgrade of the Oceana backstage casting scene using the new sex scene system. I wanted to do this to test how quickly we can make new sex scenes.
The main impact of the strategy meeting was t...

Hey guys, sorry for the short break between updates. We're part-way into Hyneman's first strategy meeting, which is fascinating and important but is not yet concluded.
There's a lot to talk about, but talks are ongoing for now so I'll post a clear update on the planned next steps once everybody is exhausted from arguing with me and agrees to do what I want. (Pro tip: this is also how I get hot chicks to have sex with me.)
The meeting's scheduled to run Fri-Sun, so I expect to post a news upda...

I am catching up on some DMs. Someone asked me about the "community posts", and that made me click the "Community" link, and that made me realise there is a whole fucking community forum I've never even looked at.
In my defence: I'm a dumb fucking crab who can't work the internet
I'll try to catch up 😬😬😬

I was hoping to finish this sprint and get a new version out today, but being sick last week cost us some time.
4 more tasks were completed today:
Hey guys, I'm back to work! Thanks for all the good vibes and well wishes.
I don't think it was beer virus (wrong symptoms) – probably something I picked up from visiting my ill relatives. I'm feeling better now.
I've completed 7 more writing tasks:
Sorry for not posting a report yesterday, guys, I'm feeling a bit under the weather. :-(
I finished another task [T13] Write Kate's alternative balcony poses for room service, but I'm feeling rough so I'm going to turn in early instead of trying to grind more work out.
Sorry for being a pussy, hopefully I'll sleep it off and be back in action tomorrow. 🤒

Hey everybody! We got the sprint off to a good start by completing five tasks:
For once the task list is pretty straightforward. I took advantage of this to produce a very detailed list of what needs to be done to finish the new sex scene.
There are 50 tasks, most of which are pretty minor. So my plan for the next sprint is just to blast through them! Then we can (at last) push this scene out, and move onto other things.
PLANNED TIMELINE
– Release 1.6 to Analysts+ (aroun...
I've returned after a three day absence. Just like someone else once did.
Apologies for the break in comms. Since Friday – and independently of one another – I had two immediate family members hospitalised! Everything is stable for the moment, so I'm back to work.
I'm currently working on the plan for Sprint 009, which is much more detailed and granular than the previous ones. I'll publish it here tomorrow.
2020-03-03 18:12:45 +0000 UTC View PostHey Analyst+! Thank you so much for supporting Female Agent. Here's the latest dev test copy.

There's another big change that might not be obviou...
2020-02-29 05:39:13 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody! I worked really hard to get the 1.6 Early Access release out today, but it's 0513 and it still needs at least another day's work. Sorry.
There is enough new content for another Beta Test version. Access to Beta Tests is normally restricted to Operators+. I called a quick meeting of the ones I could find online and they all agreed that I should extend access to Analysts this time.
I'll post the Beta to Analysts+ next. Announcement on next steps will follow shortl...
2020-02-29 05:21:24 +0000 UTC View PostHi everybody! Sorry for the bad news but the planned analyst release will be tomorrow, not today as planned.
The whole scene is now basically working, but now it's integrated into the game it's easy to break if you make choices that were impossible for the pre-generated character (Carla).
(For instance: if your agent doesn't wear lipstick on the date, the scene will crash when you return from dinner with Max.)
It will take me a few more hours to get everything done, and it's 0130 here, so I'm...

Hey everybody! Writing day today. I'm behind schedule on the bed branch (which I wanted to finish by Sunday), and I realised that I'm spending too much time trying to make the writing polished and sexy.
Tomorrow, I'm just going to blast through the remainder of the scene using plain language, e....

Hey guys! I decided to catch a movie for my scheduled R&R day. I've heard lots of good things about Joker, Jojo Rabbit, Parasite and 1917...but none of them are set in Dubai
2020-02-22 23:35:16 +0000 UTC View Post
The new Dubai sex scene has two broad paths: the agent can have sex on the balcony, or in the bed.
My original plan was to basically copy-and-paste the balcony sex content (which is largely complete) into the bed path. Which I did, but something about it wasn't quite landing.
The bed path just fe...
2020-02-21 19:58:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, something personal (not serious) has popped up so I'm going to take tomorrow's scheduled R&R day today, and work on the game tomorrow. See you then!

This is my plan for the next two weeks.
Crab thoughts
I'm planning to do 44 story points of work in the next sprint. This is more than I achieved in sprints 005 (39 points), 006 (15!) and 007 (36).
I feel like I can do it. But it's important that sprints aren't tied to releases; if I can do it, we'll put out a working release to Analysts+ at the end of the sprint.
My girlfriend bought me a 4-pack of Thai beer in your honour. :-D I love you guys, I hope you all have a great Valentine's day!
