Yeah I like the mom a lot.Guess you can't please everyone all the time. I loved the mother's involvement. There's something about a mother striving to get/keep her family together in this way. I hope we get more of the same
This is only thing I will say about this. He will only start anything if people respond. I already ignored him just do the same and move on.
To me, the mother's involvement just seems unnecessary and weakens the story with the sisters. I hate when you're trying to seduce one girl, and things seem to be progressing, but then suddenly another love interest interjects to move things along. Now that I think about it, Parental Love did this, where the MC's sister involved herself with helping the MC have sex with his daughters when they were already obviously interested in him romantically. There's been other games that have done this as well, so it's just not a Luxee thing. But the experience left me annoyed at the sister for most of the game.
I absolutely despise Parental Love. It caused me to hate several troupes and concepts found in other adult games because of that exact scene. I also hate games when relationships start before the game begins, especially incest. I also disliked slutty characters for a while, but I outgrew this one for the most part I think.
As someone who supported Luxee on Patreon through almost all of PL and the first update or two of A69, I can assure you that Nea was always meant to be a major focus in A69. But I don't think people were expecting her to be so central to the game, as she was supposed to be completely optional. To me, it's everyone other than Nea that is the afterthought. They're there to camouflage this as something other than a short trans VN love story, and an attempt to make a game with broader appeal than just Nea's story alone would have. The other love interests don't have any real depth to them, being tropes and stereotypes with little substance. Granted, we had that in PL too, as you point out. But it's worse in A69 for anyone other than Nea, and the attention lavished on Nea makes the shortcomings of the other love interests more apparent. It also shows us what Luxee could do with a story if he actually tried. So again, we're left with the duality of some people seeing a great game because they play for Nea, and others seeing a mediocre game because they're here for everything else.
what happened to this game? is it rly abandoned? the developer is working on something else?
if anyone knows about those things tell me pls
We can thank the amount of harassment because of a certain character, for that...
You're not being very kind to amoebæ.
Ditto. I'm not gonna hold my breath and wait. But I'll happily patiently hope for more content from Luxee. This game is fun. I like pretty much all the LIs and even the one or two I don't have grown on me throughout. Hopefully, they don't let arseholes ruin things.
You know, I'm in support of the content everyone hates and would love for it to come back. But, to claim those complaining just "can't handle diversity", you could make an identical statement to the dev who "can't handle criticism".
criticism is one thing. they just wanted to start shit.
And how does one differentiate from the two? I remember playing a game where the game was explaining detail and a peeping scene was made up of several paragraphs that filled up the entire page. I really disliked it, and grew bored quickly. So, if I told the dev his game was boring, is that criticism or not?
that's an example of criticism. however, if you're just gonna stay here, bashing the same shit every fucking release -- that's just being toxic and you ain't doing shit other than making it hell for everyone else. this game has a trans girl who was always the focal point of this game and has always been. to continue bashing it because of your own insecurity after every fucking update and just making the thread toxic and taking advantage of such an accommodating dev is just someone who wants to bring in drama. that is the differnce.
Now I'm even more convinced both you and the dev are full of shit. Nothing about this game tells me the Trans character is the focus. The family are the first characters introduced, and the game is designed in such a way that it incentives you to interact with the family first. If all that wasn't enough to make you think they'll be the focus, the mother is literally the first thing people will see once they click on this game.
It was pretty clear to me that she was the main focus very early on with how much she was being promoted.
Anyone who actually played the game would realize she was the developers focus. However that IS the problem. Any new player would simply assume the family was the most important. They dominate OP. Nea is in two pics in the preview, but neither image indicates that she's trans. Furthermore, one of the two pics has her in the background amongst another character that I don't remember.
And I agree with this. If the dev had spent even a fraction of the "focus" they used on other characters, I would put my money on less overall hate. I don't want less Nea tho.
does that really matter who he meets first? would it make sense skip the family that you're leaving until later?
Absolutely it does. Most games introduce important characters first, oftentimes it's the most important character. They do this simply because the first character you meet tends to leave the biggest impact on the player. Some games may deviate from the norm, but even in those cases the important characters are introduced shortly afterwards. Even in those cases, the introduction of the important character almost always outshines the less important character you met first.
Honestly, I don't really understand how this is a question. You either lack imagination (unlikely), or you are already influenced that the family is supposed to be the focus. It would make perfect sense for the family not to appear first, in fact, there are countless possible scenarios the dev could have created as alternatives. Here's a random one:
that's because he was on his way to his grandmother's house. in this story, we're moving away from home.
it sounds like you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.
I don't think this is at all true outside of games with quite small casts of LIs, where you can hardly do otherwise.
