Monday transparency report

Hey guys, Happy New Year!  2025 sucked for Female Agent, but 2026 will have multiple releases.

This week my aim was to finish the new rewrite of the Max sex scene which – as of about 2026 PM – is just finished.  🥳🥂

Like I said in the last report, Female Agent sex scenes tend to be really hot right up until the actual sex.  At which point:

• the partner (whoever he is) gets kind of dommy and rough – whoever he is – and the heroine loves it

• the heroine quickly comes hard (in some early versions, the partner needs to make a skill check to make the heroine orgasm, but I could never get the mechanics to feel right)

• the partner then immediately orgasms

• end scene

It’s really lame, I hate it, I wanted to fix it if I could.

I don’t wanna say I’ve cracked the code, that everybody’s going to think the Max scene is the hottest thing anyone (or even just me*) has ever written.  Necessarily, at this point in the story, it’s quite a vanilla sex scene.

But I can say it’s really different, maybe the shape of things to come.  I pushed myself to get into the characters’ heads and figure out why they’re fucking and why it’s hot.  And I did something totally new with sex scene game mechanics – with more choices, and skill checks more about boundaries and inhibitions instead of roll a 7 to inflict an orgasm!

Current status and next steps

The rewriting is now done, with three caveats: 

(1) there are some stub branches that need to be filled out (e.g., in the current sex scene, only the “no condom” branch is written – the alternate branch with protection needs to be worked into the code).  

(2) there are alternate branches to the sex scene that I want to include (basically a few different positions/locations), but these aren’t necessary for the next release, and can cannibalise the current draft (since these are the same characters and broadly similar emotional beats, just different places/positions for extra flavour and choices).

(3) there’s some “connective tissue” that needs to be added throughout (i.e. there are some points where the player is supposed to be able to do things in different orders, but that’s not currently implemented in the test version).

But it’s largely done.  Writing is always the big fucking bottleneck, so this is a big deal.

Other things that need to be done:

• the rewrite generated a bunch of new art assets that Queen Victoria now needs to hand-draw

• now the writing is firm, I can task her with the requirements

So tomorrow I will shit all over her to-do list as my main priority, then get a playable version out to the alpha testers for feedback and improvement.  This week I’ll aim to create a detailed checklist of remaining tasks before release, and post it like I did with the Halloween release so you can see how close it is.

But I’m too fucking tired tonight because I am 100.  I’ll get straight back on it in the morning.  🦀❤️‍🔥
