Here's my plan for how to fix Female Agent. The details aren't 100% finalised yet, but I wanted to share this today, so patrons can make an informed decision about continuing to support the project.
Please let me know your feedback here and in Discord.

Sorry for the lack of information recently.
Last week was the lowest point in the game's development for me, ever. On Sunday 5th, for the first time since starting the project, I seriously considered bailing on it.
But I want to finish it. On Monday 6th, I was i...

Hey guys! Sorry for the delay in writing this report. It's taken me a while to grasp the problem and come up with a solution. I'll describe things as plainly as I can.

Hey guys! Apologies for the lack of reports. I've been really struggling with the bed scene; some kind of writer's block, I think. 😕
On Sunday, feeling totally frustrated, I decided to just switch over to writing a different scene. Doing that for a few hours recha...

It's only a few passages long, but you should be able to call up avatars for two female NPCs. Please let me know your thoughts!

Hey guys, quick update!
My current priority is writing the bed branch of the new sex scene. I worked on it last week, but by Friday my writing had slowed to a crawl.
I woke up on Sat feeling listless and demoralised, so I decided to take the day off and see if rest would ...

Hey guys! Work continues on various tasks. I'm now busy finishing the bed branch of the Max sex scene, it should be ready in a few days. (When it is, we'll put out a 1.6.3 release with that and some bug fixes.)
We'll be announcing a new dev sprint soon. 2020-05-26 18:06:49 +0000 UTC View Post
😩 OMG what a day. I'm trying to strike a better balance between working on tasks with my own two claws and working with the team to share out the tasks more intelligently.
My aim this week has been to spend 8 pomodoros (uninterrupted 25-minute time...

One of the big problems so far has been a lack of team organisation. Right now we're focusing on improving that, in order to make the next development phase run more smoothly.
Getting organised starts with a list! We've set up a new interactive task list, wh...

Version 1.6 is now available to play for everyone! The main focus on 1.6 is the introduction of new sex scene mechanics. We rewrote the Dubai Dinner Date to showcase the new system.
But Wait! There’s More!

Hey guys! Here's the Patron version of 1.6.1. Thank you so much for supporting Female Agent.

Hey guys! Quick update on a couple things:
1). IMAGE SERVER
Hey guys! Unfortunately, the image server is down again. The hosting company just confirmed that Female Agent is the target of the attack that started last night, and the site is down again for now.

The image servers are now back up and seem to be working okay! Hopefully this was just a one-off problem, but I'll discuss it with the hosting company and see if we need to upgrade anything.
We're working on a few things at the moment:
Prepping the 1.6.1 public release
Hey guys! The game's image server has been down for about 15 hours. I've been advised by the host that it will be back up soon.
Apparently the problem was caused by an attack on the host's servers (not believed to be related to Female Agent).
Apologies for the out...

The new sex scene adds around 10,000 lines of code to the game. Most of it works, but there are some bugs that need to be ironed out before we can release it.
I'm currently working through the scene, fixing silly problems (like a certain path that allowed the agent to have sex without...
