As well as building up the team by bringing aboard Victoria and The Scribbler, I’ve been thinking of changes we can make to our working processes that would enable us to get content out faster.

So far, Female Agent has been heavily scripted. You pass from one scene to the next in a predetermined order (e.g. you can’t visit Oceana before you visit Corinthian).
In Bangkok we want the player experience to move from control to freedom. You’ll have t...

We’re planning to introduce a set of new gameplay mechanics in Bangkok. Here's a quick update.

The agent needs money to live, to do certain activities, and to buy stuff. She will earn money from working, mainly as a prostitute at the Hard Cock ...

We're trying to introduce more dialogue and decision choices, so your agents have more ways to interact with people and situations.
Writing these involves anticipating the kind of Agent you'll enjoy playing, so you can help us by telling us about the sorts of characters you'd like to create.

Coding Victoria's new avatar artwork into the game has required a bit of faffing around in Illustrator and with the game code so far, but good progress is being made now.
As part of testing, I just generated the same agent in both the public version (that you guys have) and the dev version (which ...

With the big uplift in Patreonage last month I was able to hire an actual illustrator, the lovely Victoria.
