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

[ZeldaFan01]

I personally found this update very disappointing. The amount/direction of the content was underwhelming.

Also not happy about the Nea stuff this time and not respecting our choices. I made a point to try and keep Nea as a friend and nothing more. But Nea keeps becoming more and more of a creep. First they practically cream themself while sleeping in the same bed as me then they are caught jacking off in my house. I only wanted to stay friends to Nea but if this is they way it's going to go and not respect my choices of nothing but friendship then I'll have to cut that little creep out completely this update.

I have no interest in dick and I want nothing to do with it regardless if what it's attached to. I had to choose the "I'm not interested in Nea" option so I guess they are now on their own to be bullied. To bad cause they seem like a good character to stay friends with.

If I dump her this update, will that have ramifications for the others? I thought it could've kept platonic but I ain't continuing with this.

That I can't answer. I just skip through it.

 

[JamieSadistic]

Decent game. Wish there were more content though. For being 3 years old, it should probably be a lot further along than it is currently.

Can u update Android port ??

 

[Dragon59]

one question....trans optional (can tell him fuck off) or skipable???

What "him" do you mean? I wasn't aware of any transmen in the game.

Speaking of transmen, Elliot Page is looking quite impressive.

why is the lewdpatcher d/l so large?

Gotta love a guy who plays porn games to just be friends. The whole romance and sex thing is kinda the whole point of the game

Nea is clearly the main girl, and I have 0 problem with it. But the other characters could use some screen time. Mainly the mom and older sister. They have hardly anything. The plot with the mom (wanting to get the daughters involved with MC) could be very interesting, but again they're not getting screen time to advance it so it's just stalled.

Luxee made this one a sandbox so he didn't have to create filler scenes, but sometimes filler scenes can be a useful way to have characters appear in an update, even if they don't have any scenes themselves. They connect the scenes together. They're transitions in-between the main scenes of the update. So I think the content imbalance is partially due to this. I think the updates ( yes I am aware this was onhold for a while) take longer than the PL updates did too, and the art quality didn't change that much to explain it. In sandbox games, it can be difficult to find a balance between the characters and I don't think Luxee has found it yet.

Charelle and even Heather also feel oddly out of place most of the time. Is MC ever going to deal with consequences of dating them both + Nea at the same time? Because all 3 of them are being set up as MC's girlfriend in one way or another. And the teacher is being used as easy early game sex content, which I feel is oddly out of place too. MC, towards almost everyone else, is a "good guy" yet gets pretty dirty with that teacher.

The whole design of the game ends up making it feel pretty empty. You're literally walking around waiting to trigger memories. In a sandbox game you could expect to run into a character somewhere and have some interaction, even if it was repetitive. A69 feels like you're in some science fiction movie where you're observing your past outside of time and space and occasionally dive back in for a brief scene. So it's not even as social of a game as a started sandbox where you can at least interact with people outside of the memories. I'll admit that my opinion is likely biased by my hatred of flashback scenes in these games. I want to live and love in the present, versus revisiting the past. That's what galleries are for.

Honestly I couldn't care less for the mom even if I tried... the mom is just "generic mom who loves their children N°95513215" nothing we haven't seen a million times already. the big sister is just "generic sister who always had a crush for her brother N° 64815550" they are both tired tropes I can totally live without.

Now, Cha already stated she doesn't mind the MC dating Nea too, she is a cool gf, and with Heather, we are still early in that development, so she could go either way, but since all the characters are so connected I don't see why they wouldn't acknowledge the existence of the others.

I for myself love the way with Nea (my best char in this game). I can say at this point, we can stop her story for a while and continue with the other females. Don´t unterstand me, to discripe her pain and her thoughts is heart warming, but there´s other person to have chance with her way in this game

Heather is easy to read. she's a weak girl who wears a mask of strength to mask her insecurities... in time, however, she'll be a fierce protecter.

 

[DonTirri]

This game has such potential and what content there is, is top notch. I just hate the fact that it's just Cha'relle and Nea in what feels like every update while the Mother&Big sister are grossly ignored.

Cha'relle especially bugs me because she's just boring. In a game with lolis, trans, incest and dom etc, the vanilla option gets second most content. Makes no sense to me.

 

[Modjoc00l]

I only played the new content for this update and maybe because of this the update felt a bit short.
It was good but short, but I guess still a lot of work in it re-working/updating the old content.


What I miss are more choices.
As far as I remember I only get to choose multiple times if I want the content with Nea.
But when I'm on the Nea path I kinda want to have for example the choice to not to go further with other relationships like Cha'relle.
Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of harem, but I don't think it makes sense in this case.

I'm not asking to add choice for every girl, but maybe for each "category".
Either at the beginning or when its relevant.

For example like:
- trans (yes/no): Nea
- incest (yes/no): Evelyn, Tess, Jamie
- loli (yes/no): Evelyn, Millie, Yui
- dom/sub (yes/no): Alicia
- pregnancy (yes/no): All of the above except Nea
- gay(?) (yes/no): Eric, Qu'wan

And maybe if you are on none/all of them the choice of either pursue a harem or individuals like Cha'relle, Heather or Seki as your main girl.

Reactions to 0.06:
I like how the face icons at the side now have an indicator if there are no more events, makes it even easier to see if we've done everything.

I liked the content in this update. Do I wish there was more? Of fucking course I want moar, who wouldn't!

While there are those that I favour, I feel there was a good 'balance' in choosing whose story to focus on this time around. Cha'relle was due for some story advancement. We now have a much more clear idea of where these particular paths are going.

Mate, you need to learn that what you want in a game only comes when YOU make a game. All else youre playing THEIR game, their wants needs and desires. They might ADD to their game if it fits in, but you can be damn sure, they wont remove for you. If you feel the need to threaten to leave the game behind, because x thing is in the game, just move on... its clearly not your type of game.

Alright..

I'm going to be as honest as I can here.

I went through the Nea route this morning and kept an open mind, because 1000/1000 I would always skip this kind of content; movies, games, anything. Good enough so far?

I really like the internal conflict he has with himself, especially after he sees her in his apartment after having forgotten his phone. His struggles with emotions throughout the whole route is pretty well written as he tries to comes to grips with her, well, orientation.

When he reads the note, I was like "oh shit, better go get her and quick." He acts somewhat calm on the roof, and also a little desperate in trying to coax her off the ledge, and after finally giving in to how he felt about her, I have to say it was an emotional scene and I was actually shocking myself on how much I liked the emotion the MC was giving out to her.

Still not a fan of her, and she's still not among my main girls in this game, but will admit it's a pretty damn good route.

 

[Squark ⚧❤️]

why is the lewdpatcher d/l so large?

Because it adds content that would get it banned on here and patreon.

 

[Allan Trumbull]

Which patch is working ??
