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

[K.T.L.]

It's been so long since I last played this. Which one is Heather again?

Trashy classmate, Eric (the bully's) girlfriend.

Yeah, development seems focused around Nea. And I love all the girls (even ones I initially didn't much care for grew on me in the last update) and look forward to more content with all of them. The trouble with a harem game is that there is just so much damned development time spread across all the LIs. Got to be so much easier to do a quick and simple monogamous games, surely.

It's just the never-ending whining that grates these days. It's the same in fanfic. People will read something tagged with a thing they actively hate and then complain that it had that thing they hate. As if they had no way of possibly knowing that it contained that thing going in. Use the tags folks. Tags are your friends, lol.

But I mostly meant from the angle of "Nea is in this game, somewhat central to the plot. Either accept that or F off." So that people who can't stand that can just choose not to play the game. Instead of trying to placate them by allowing a bypass that takes even more development time cutting out a character that Luxee clearly wanted to tell a story about. Coz the bypasses always seem reluctant and problematic. As if they exist only because people wouldn't stop complaining.

I wasn't here at the start did the dev say early on how much more screen time Nea would get and that she'd be the primary LI? Because if not of course people will complain.

Devs should be open and upfront from the start. I just looked at his patreon and in the about section there was no mention of girls being forced or anything.

This is important info for a lot of people.

You can get rid of her, at least...not like a certain bobblehead.

btw she's on the list of main girls.

I know you can I have played this dude. But I believe a lot of arguments and shit in these games could be avoided if devs were more open from the start about everything.

So there you go. Everyone knows she's Eric's girlfriend but when talking to the MC she says she isn't. She's a slut.

Or people can be wrong and they are infact not dating. You can have people thinking you like someone that you actually dislike. It's not like the guy couldn't have lied about the two getting together to his friends.

 

[MaugerCG]

Heather is just benefiting from how "simp" Eric was and his lack of his masculine confidence, she was "smart" and gave nothing in return. I don't like that kind of opportunistic and rude character anyway, she'll probably improve with the next update tho.

True, except the character sheet clearly states that she IS Eric's girlfriend. Anyway, we're beating a dead horse here. They're pixels, who the hell cares?

yeah the Character sheets says that because MC thinks thats the case, then he speaks with her and knows better.

I think that's the cheerleader/quaterback dynamics, if u know what i mean
Its a question of status
Of course she don't love him, they are only together because they benefit from each other
As soon a new and biger alpha comes around the corner she dumps him in the blink of an eye, because and yes she is a slut
Let's hope its our mc

did we play the same game? because from the heather events i got something completely different. Eric is interested in her but she is not, she is using him for the money of his parents, not the nicest thing to do, but when he is constantly pinning for her probably the easiest way for her to avoid it.

The way that Marcus tries to feel out how you feel about Heather and the way they speak with each other seems like they now each other well. Marcus seems to care that you are a decent guy when hanging out with her. He even gives you the number of his uncle who is a boxer to learn self defence and asks about MC defending Heather. He also says many have tried to date her but she shoot them all down.

So what i got is that Heather hangs with the wrong crowed probably because its easier to evade Eric all the time when hanging together in the group than when she is on her own. The rest is rumours spread by Eric and amplified by the school environment.

Edit: also her best friend calls her a crazy virgin when they have a drunk go at each other at the party

and if anybody should know its her BFF also Heather poures her drink over Nicole after she starts flirting with MC

Now, that's the game I know. Not sure what the other guy is on about.

 

[iopq]

Looks like next update is almost entirely Heather content so that's unfortunate.
Already the least interesting character for me, and I find tattoos deplorable so guess I'm sol until the next.

To my knowledge, no, she wasn't ever announced as being the main focus.
Luxee's previous game was very linear, and the main reason this game exists is because they wanted to try something different, hence the more open, sandboxey style.

That also means that they aren't forced into a linear timeline for development.
While we have no way to have a concrete answer here (bigoted shitheads on this site effectively caused Luxee to give up on this place entirely and stop interacting here), it's fairly safe to assume that they mostly work on content depending on inspiration, since the nature of A69 allows for it. This means that Nea has, so far, more content because Luxee had a lot of ideas and inspiration for her. It's pretty obvious that they like trans feminine characters, so it's unsurprising.
But given what the next update is shaping up to be, it's also fairly safe to consider that the others will have more content as well, as Luxee gets inspired.

While it can suck for people who have no interest (or the visceral hatred some of the more stupid here have shown...) for Nea, it also, in my opinion, seems to work out well for Luxee. Not all creative people work the same, and as someone who function the same way at it seems Luxee does, focusing on inspiration and ideas tend to lead people like that to a lot higher quality and a lot more motivation.
Now, if people would stop harassing and insulting Luxee, that motivation wouldn't get trashed all the time, but what do you know, a lot of the people who get smut games for free tend to be assholes, so...

i can't move from start, Nea is bugged im getting error when i try to access her, how to fix it?

it was pretty clear to me she was... given all the promo.

 

[K.T.L.]

I'm surprised Nea isn't on the banner image tbh, given her prominent place in the story.
It does make a change from the common habit of putting every npc on the banner, but I do think Nea should have been on it.
