On a side note, the way Nea is written makes it actually quite logical. Her life pre-MC is extremely abusive, and trust me you have no idea how heavily that kind of environment affect trans people. So since she was written in such a broken and vulnerable state, the simple hope of someone loving her has absurdly high effects on her mental state, and understandably it's revealed she has a huge fear of abandonment.
So the MC pushing her away sends her very much spiraling inside her own head. And for someone in such a mental state, that spiral can be extremely destructive.
Plus the MC can be kind of fucking stupid at times with his interactions with her, too, which does not help in the slightest.

So while yes, the writting could have been chosen to go another way, it's actually fairly logically and realistically done, paradoxally.
Actually, on this route the MC arrives late, that is, when he arrives it has already happened. Yes, you've decided you don't want to romance her, but the MC still hasn't gotten around to telling her when it happens.

I guess it's more the fear of being rejected that makes it happen rather than being rejected, which is something that hasn't happened yet when she jumps.

It's very frustrating. I was so fucking stoked for this game, there's so little good trans/femboy content. But nooooo, the aggressively straight dudes have to come to something that's not FOR them and cry all over it until it gets ruined for the rest of us.
Tbh, i'm not sure those people are as straight as they claim to be and are possibly just trying to convince themselves that they are. Usually people that are safe and secure with their sexuality don't have to act like that even if there's something they are not into.

Actually, until the last update, the game has focused mainly on Nea, and nothing makes me think that Nea will stop being the main character for those who have chosen to romance her.

You have no idea how many transphobic cunts attacked Luxee over her and a PL side-character existing. That's absolutely nuts how vile people will be over something like that just to get their way...
They probably thought the characters were cute af (because they are), and felt their sexuality was threatened because they found them attractive and lashed out because of it.

I chose to romance Nea(I always intended to), but even so I do think the suicide was too much. Sometimes a friend is all you need to be to pull somebody back...but on that route she was just too afraid of being rejected.

Yeah, it still feels like Luxee got sick and tired of the anti-Nea, Anti-Trans posts and lashed out with this extreme result.

I think that the revenge is also in the route that skips Nea: In that route all the things that happens in the Nea's route happens without the player seeing them. And if you play that route, you don't have in the next scene after rejecting/starting a relationship with Nea a messege that says "I didn't remember that those happened" (or something like that) that happens if you reject Nea. In fact, when I try to see how it's that route I have the sense that it all happens as if the MC has started a relationship with Nea.

Is this completely dead or is it still going?
In all honesty, it's starting to look like it's completely dead. There was some life towards the end of last year and the beginning of this year, and it seemed like an update was moments away, but since then it's gone completely quiet. Maybe the dev will return, but presently it's gone dormant

The dev is still somewhat active in their discord. Last post was about a week and a half ago. Absolutely no update on the status of the game however, but I mean it's only been like 16 months (Dec 2021) since the last update dropped...

Don't worry guys, other devs that haven't put out an update in two and a half years are still telling us "The next update is on the way!" LOL

I can't speak for anyone but myself in particular, but for myself and at least some people I've witnessed(didn't keep track of usernames), the bold parts a severe issue with this story, and why a friend route may actually make more sense. You have the story focused around one character that not only is written in a rather logical and somewhat realistic sense, but is EXTREMELY vulnerable emotionally, to the point of self-destruction upon rejection, inside a game that actively blocks progress if you don't commit to building a harem. It feels like with Nea, the intent is to draw you in and make the interactions with MC believable. The issue is, a character like this would crack in the exact same way - possibly worse - if led to believe their love interest was building a harem with his family, their bullies - anyone he can stick his dick in, really - the entire time that they felt they had found "the one" and that they were someone else's "one." One can only suspend their disbelief so far, and I'm pretty sure a good deal of people would not be able to suspend their disbelief that, upon finding out MC is balls-deep in so many people, Nea would just say "fuck it" and roll with it.

I don't follow this thread endlessly, just pop in every now and again, but over the months, I've seen this brought up a few times, and it's never actively addressed; all I see is people get labeled as "transphobic" and the legitimate criticism is subverted. Even people who have said they really like the Nea character, and would love a Nea-only game, but that she doesn't fit into Apartment 69 are shut down in identical fashion. (Which is rather confusing, seeing as it seems to me that Luxee has written Nea as the main love interest and has given her the spotlight far more than anyone else; if this is the case, I would think Luxee very well might enjoy making a Nea-only game.) Hell, I'll probably be called transphobic for this post for suggesting a Nea friend route could have made sense, but the game is now at a point where neither a friend route nor love route will make sense, should the harem aspect be kept in place.

Ever since I saw the options for Nea I said there should be a friend route option, I have no issues with her being trans, and I do like her character, but often on forums like this, having a differing opinion to other people does come with it's share of bullshit with it, I mean heaven forbid you have your own opinion, lol.
I have been flamed many times for having a different opinion on some games to what the fanboi sheep think, but whatever, I really don't care, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, as am I. :)
But yes, there should have been a friend route option for Nea.

They update the progress tracker on their website every so often, most recent was January and the update before that was October last year I think. So while I can't say for sure the website is getting progress updates semi-regularly.

Previous tracker update was actually in December, a little over a month before the "latest" status:
1680813888996.png
Current tracker status is still (updated in January):
1680813953451.png

On Discord, Luxee's user shows 1 channel message in January, 2 channel messages in February, 2 channel messages in March, and no activity in April, making their last sign of life (publicly) on 24th of March. And these are in channels visible to everyone (I have no idea if there are any hidden channels only visible to subscribers/supporters). Neither of these messages were about anything related to A69 (mainly short brainfarts).

At this point, given their activity since last progress tracker update, I'm more worried about Luxee's health and mental wellbeing than anything, and I just hope they'll soon display signs of life that is more than short single-line comments on current events.

You know, aside from the game updates shutting down following aforementioned aggressively straight crying and an update that had little to no Nea content.

How about you let the dev make the game they want and dont play it if you dont like it?
Theres more than enough people who like some gay/trans/futa content. If i were a dev id just ignore/ban all the haters. there will be enough support. i would bet that most haters never even supported any dev with money.

Actually, I supported Luxee on Patreon through almost all of Parental Love and the first few updates of this game before I decided it wasn't worth my money. I gave it a chance financially but it was clear the game was a massive step down from PL, and despite his promises to the contrary, Nea wasn't really going to be all that optional. I'm not ruling out supporting again, although I haven't seen anything in this game since it started to make it feel worth spending any more money on.

There are many other games out there with some trans content, although the ones I've seen all handle it much better than this one and avoid a lot of the drama. All the ones I played make it optional like Luxee promised he would do, so people don't have much reason to complain. Of course, they usually don't have their trans character kill themselves and make it all the MC's fault in order to get them out of the game.

Do you support Luxee financially? Have you ever? Do you support any of the devs?
