Ren'Py Apartment #69 [v0.08] [Luxee]

[JGNeon]

Any idea when's the next update?

Luxee (the dev) will first finish up the final update of their previous game (Parental Love), which might be some time in February (according to their progress tracker page), and once this is released, they will continue working on Apartment 69.

Based on the dev's previous release schedule, I'm guessing we will have our next fill of A69 some time in late spring or early summer, but that is more of a wild guess. We will get a closer estimate once development on A69 resumes.

(Quick note: I tagged the dev in my post, in case they'd like to clarify my answer themselves, assuming they're even active on this forum.)

Yes, it's completed, but the dev wanted to do a final touch-up with story fixes (to ensure it's more consistent throughout), additional renders to existing scenes, adding/fixing/updating translations, and overall bug fixing.

There are 7 scenes specfically mentioned to be updated in the progress tracker:

It is, or rather it was.
Some scenes will be reworked and a few added.

Doing a "George Lucas" on PL.

Doing a "George Lucas" on PL.

Or Steven Spielberg, replacing tits, pussies and cocks with walkie talkies

 

[JoeTheMC84]

This game looks like a sandbox/grinder. Can anyone tell me whether this also results in many many many repeat scenes and boringness? Is there a non-grinder linear VN version of this story?

There isn't a grid, you can just choose the order you see some events.

I really hope that the next updates focus more on the family characters.

That's probably another 3 to 4 months off from now.

lol I understood that reference.

I hope we get to see more of Nea in the next update I know she had a lot of spotlight lately, but I kinda want to see how their relationship develops beyond the initial confession

I don't know man, unless the dev starts releasing bigger updates, I think it would probably be better to focus on other characters for the next couple updates.

yeap. I think Nea's a great character, but it's time for the others to get some of the spotlight.

Im all for having more content with the other girls, but we don't have to choose between all Nea or zero Nea... after all we often forget we got quite some content with other girls on the last update...

The problem is that the updates are pretty small so if you try to focus on multiple characters it ends up feeling like none of them had any decent progression.

Yes, the updates are unusually small compared to Parental Love. Nea is also an avoidable love interest, which is a weird combination with their being the central love interest of the game. So any update that focuses on them is going to seem even smaller to a large percentage of the player base. There's games out there with multiple avoidable fetishes or paths that can just about put out entire updates that have basically zero content for some players because they've focused on the optional stuff or alternate paths.

Well, since she jumped off the roof, I have little interest in updates that basically include Nea content: To read comments like "I didn't remember what happened" "Too bad" or similar and finish the update I better wait for an update with content of other LIs.

I've certainly seen less radical ways to avoid a love interest. What is certain is that once you have decided that you do not want her as LI (and I am not talking about the first option of skipping the scenes, but the second in which you already decide if you want a romance), the outcome is definitive. It is quite clear that there is no possibility that the MC can rethink it in the future. The interesting thing is going to be how the Dev deals with the scenes of other LIs in which Nea participates, but in which she cannot appear if the MC rejects her.

Yeah but having a focus on not nea stuff would be good. Nea is the lynchpin to the whole thing. I do the nea content but I'm surprised how much of this is nea.

New to this, not sure how I feel about the author making Nea the cornerstone of the game and then practically telling me to keep beating a downed opponent. The latter especially.

Isn't it up to you if you want to. You don't have to keep hitting him.
