Ren'Py Abandoned Apartment #69 [v0.07] [Luxee]

[botc76]

I didn't say it was, but it easily could've been. Hindsight is 20/20 my dude.

It's not hindsight, people knew this game wasn't abandoned. It was basically a formality thing here on f95zone.
There are actually quite a few games which update with so much time between the updates that they have gotten the abandoned tag several times, despite people knowing they weren't abandoned.
Usually either a quick search or reading a few pages of the thread will tell you the game is still being worked on, just slow.

The annoyed reaction from some is because this is a constant conversation happening here, someone claiming abandonment or worrying whether the game is abandoned, others chiming in and then like here several pages of people trying to explain the situation.
When really all it takes is a short thread search and this would all be unnecessary. It's a frustrating experience.

It's the dev's fault, not theirs. Before yesterday, the last update to Luxee's Patreon was in September of 2022. That is where most people will look for development updates. And why should it be frustrating? Just stop correcting people's misconceptions if it's that frustrating. The only reason for such clamoring rebukes that I can think of is insecurity.

Nobody knew the game wasn't abandoned. I doubt that Luxee even knew. Eventually, Luxee, after a year break or so, decided to restart work on it to see if he could get more Patrons. If he can have steady updates, starting from today, it will probably grow again.

One small update after 2 years, let's just say I wouldn't hold my breath.

I personally, think that F95's abandoned rules are too lax. I would change it to:

No update after 6 months: On Hold
No update after 12 months: Abandoned.

If you can't manage an update after 6 months of "work", can you really say that a game is in active development? And 12 months, just no.

If people would stop white knighting developers who don't communicate, we wouldn't have this problem. I have active subscriptions with quite a few developers currently and oodles of cancelled ones usually due to slow update speed or poor communication. I'm genuinely sorry for the solo devs who have a life event that happens where they can't/aren't going to update their game in the foreseeable future. But, say so, then stop/pause your billing.

Regardless if you consider your developing a job or a hobby, you're getting money (sometimes significant amounts) from people to work on that game. If you take 9+ months to release an update that adds all of 15 minutes of game play, you're just taking advantage of your supporters. If you leave a car on the side of the road for 6 months, it's going to be considered abandoned and towed.

Usually cute little buttons like Evelyn have no competition whatsoever in my eyes (well, not she hasn't either at least not dangerous ones) BUT I'm reeeaallly into Alicia. Nice Model and perfect personality chosen. A very "compelling" character

 

[dav121]

2 scenes after a year is kinda insane no?

1 more scene than I got, just got a putting on sunscreen scene and then the word "censored" for the next scene. ah well at least it's not Abandoned, right?

Download the patch from Lewdpatcher.

awesome, almost given up hope

She looks like the main girl from becoming a rockstar, they are probably the same or based on the same model

It's the exact same hair but overall she's different, but i can see how white girl with the exact same hair brings back memories.

Good to see this is still alive, the update is small but at least it's heavily focused on the family and progressing their story, hopefully it keeps coming.

 

[Maxiiki]

Love this update a lot, Thank You Luxee! I Hope updates will become more frequent now, like once in a month or two or so.

 

[Motoko Kusanagi]

I Hope updates will become more frequent now

[Zekethor]

I'm glad the game is back, because it's good, but it needs to bring updates faster to regain confidence, otherwise it's going to be a new benxslave quest
