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

[Master of Puppets]

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.






PEACE

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!"

Yep, that's basically what I think might have happened, seeing the amount of work and care she has.

Is the game abandoned forever?

Is the game abandoned forever?

no its still in development.

 

[MEDO. XX]

That's good, I hope to see an update soon

 

[Freshenstein]

Well we will hopefully see it update before 2023 ends. Not going to hold my breath however.

 

[Netgear]

no its still in development.

Barly, an average update a year, it's not very in development, it's more on life support and any thing could kill it, if the dev don't pull the plug before that.

I hope he's ok, his last report on Patreon was on September of last year, would be nice to hear he's alright, fuck the game, I'm just concerned about him

I've learned patience with gems like Superhuman and Elvensang.
This site has enough games to keep busy between gems' updates.

I might be wrong, but didn't the progress tracker got a tiny little update? I seem to remember that earlier it said "that last prediction was ass, hope to get it done by feb??? (not sure)" and now it says "sorry, that prediction was ass, one more scene...". But I could also be hallucinating. who can tell these days

It does seem to somewhat change with the wording ever so slightly at random. It's hard to tell anymore.

The previous update was that they hoped to finish by end of year.

Yeah, you're hallucinating Like ^ said, should be released before the end of the year. before that it said "it will be released this summer". At the looks of it he meant the next summer.
