Crowdsourcing: international degree duration

Crowdsourcing: international degree duration

Your humble crab didn't attempt higher education, so there are some details I've had to research about university in order to put the lifepath together (like where students live, what they do, what university even is, etc).  Dissonant Soundtrack says that it's cute.

One thing I can't really get a straight answer to is: how m...

7 Nov dev test version

Quick dev test version featuring working Kink Vignettes.  After you arrive at university, the game will generate a Kink Vignette for you to play through – this is a short, sexy scenario which corresponds with one of the five Kinks in the game.

When university is fully built up, you'll encounter five separate Kink Vignettes.  For now, ...

I will continue to work on the game when he's asleep, but development is likely to slow down for the next few days whatever happens (e.g. today I was only able to do 2 pomodoros...

New agent nationality poll

Thanks everybody for your feedback on new agent nationalities.  Time to vote for the nationality we'll implement next!

I've also added an option for holding off implementation of this feature until after Bangkok, since that was a concern raised by several fans.

You can vote for more than one option in this poll.
