I personally have grown fond of games like BitBG / SaSP where you can more or less be more cruel toward characters if you wish.

While somewhat sinister I think the option to lead Nea on or bully them and having that lead to their demise is a missed opportunity. There is the sadistic side obviously but past that you get a genuine powerful player response for the choices they made. It could be happiness, horror, confusion, regret, etc.

I really hope that this will be revisited and implemented in a final version of the game.

I don't think this game is for you... nothing like that will ever be implemented.

To be fair:

This does reduce paths

LI Nea #1
OR
Nea not in game #2

Whereas friendship Nea would have made for 3 paths to work on. So even though it was harsh on the character I see why it helps development work. Particularly if Luxee wants to weave the harem together in the future. Which is quite likely.

Nope. "Nea friends" is much easier to make than "no Nea at all", because without her at all any scenes that would have her and some of the other girls have to have a version done without her. With her just being friends, 90% of the game can be exactly the same, just with some minor dialogue changes and skipping any sex scenes.

There is no way Nea can be written out!

The MC is an honest and well brought up young man with a broad open mind.
The guy is the Messiah incarnate to save mankind from evil and turn bad to good.

What if he likes a bit of same sex naughty?
What if he likes a bit of family naughty?

The MC's so spotless and without prejudice that there are no barbed wire fences he can't pass.
The main conflict in this scenario is the MC standing tall against bigots.

Nope
Because he is already locked in to make a No Nea because he gives the option to turn her off to the point where she is not in the VN at all. Now the "friends" path has merged with that one he was locked into. He knew some people wouldn't want the character in any way, shape, or form so that was actually offered before Nea Romance developed.

In case you forgot/didn't know.

Nope. He's not "locked in" to anything. He said that "just friends" would be a thing, so if he can change his mind on that he could change it on the other. Nothing will change the fact that a friends route would be far easier than a complete removal route.

I don't even think it was half of the player base. The ones that hate Nea are just very loud. I think most people either like nea or are indiferent since the stuff with her is optional.

I meant "half" as in "one side" rather than 50%, really. But yeah, I'm aware that the vast majority probably doesn't care one way or the other, and both fans and haters are way less numerous.

And a bunch of the people that weren't into Nea as a love interest still liked her as a character, they just didn't want to get in her pants. I would have been very happy with a platonic route for Nea where we set her up with a great guy.

If you're curious, I've written in the past how I have a theory that the violent and horrendous backlash of a small part of the playerbase (aka the haters) likely broke down Luxee's patience.
Of course, I don't have insider's informations, but devs are humans, and I've spent enough time online to know that people will stop at nothing when they lash out for something they have a deep hatred for. And that a lot of amateur porn game players treat devs like absolute shit.
So let's just say there's a very high chance Luxee got abused and ended up having a reaction you could expect from a human being with feelings and emotions...

I selected the "no Nea" option, which worked fine. However, Nea was written as such a core character that the result was a badly chopped up game that became so pointless that I just quit playing.

That was my thought. As if Luxee said, "FINE! You hate Nea so much, I'll just take her out of the game!"
