Ren'Py Apartment #69 [v0.09] [Luxee]

[Deleted member 4298851]

It costs me little to press the CTRL and skip all her scenes. This way I avoid having to do them later if it's required to have it at some specific point to be able to continue the route of another LI.

I think, since her route change and the added scenes that tell of the backstory of how she went after the MC, I've read the scenes a few times since. Her character as a whole really does nothing for me.

I'm not into the whole sub/dom culture thing, but Luxee gave us a little pet to play with if we wanted one, but that's the thing I don't like about sandbox games; where one route (or many in this case with Nea) depends on other girls' routes.

It's an issue I have with Harem Hotel too, which is why I really like staying in games with girls I have a 1-on-1 relationship with. If I'm going to be honest Lessons in Love ruined sandbox games for me.

I also prefer that each LI has its own independent route. In any case, I have never read her scenes. When the dev changed the initial scenes of her route I went back to using CTRL, so I can't tell what is different between one and the other either.

I haven't played Lessons in Love, but I have it on my ignore list. I think it was something related to suicides, clocks and horror, if I'm not mistaken in the game.

Yeah it's a creepy game, and one I'll never EVER touch again.

But I've seen the before and after of Alicia's revamped scenes, after is certainly better, but her as a whole? Not my cup of tea.

I only have the faintest of recollections of Alicia. Like others, I fast forwarded through her sex scenes because they weren't my thing. From what I'm hearing, I'm personally better off for having done so. I'm also leery of turning down any LI in this game because the progression was such a tangle from the beginning. Ideally, each LI would an individual path, and if you wanted you could just pursue one of them exclusively. Maybe their paths converge with other love interests, but I kind of hate the situation where one woman is the gateway to another, especially when it ends up with a mandatory three-way as your first romantic encounter with the other woman. I'm not against three-ways in any way, but I think they're more fun after you've explored things a bit with each one individually and want to spice things up.

I don't understand, and even laugh, who didn't understand that these games have a harem theme, so one girl interacting with the other is completely normal, in the end they're all your sluts, I saw a guy arguing "but if it was in the real world " guys, the protagonist is going out with 10 different women at the same time, some with "questionable" age XD, without them knowing, what matters is the context of the game in the game itself, if the teacher is happy with the situation, then that's it.

Personally, I like romantic games and not one in which the LIs are the MC's sluts. Girlfriends yes, sluts no.

Second, letting the LIs know about the existence of the others is, from my point of view, important and, in fact, basic for the game to be harem. That said, you can advance the stories of the different LIs individually (without having to reach a specific point with one of them to be able to continue with others) and include secondary scenes involving several LIs when you have advanced enough in their stories. In fact that happens quite a few games.

i brought up the comparison because Lux brought real world issues into the porn game with Nea, instead of just giving her tits and saying "hey here is a chick with a dick with some sexy story time, enjoy!". Since Lux brought that in, i personally want that same in depth treatment with all the other characters instead of the basic-bitch porn logic brush off of "oh me so horni now, me give you sucki sucki long time, no matter what you do."

Just finished the playthrough, but I've got a question. And while I'm new to all of this (and this place), I know the answer to my question might simply be that there's not much content so far as this version is only v. 0.06, but also that there might be other reasons as well, like rule 7 and Patreon, for instance. But my question is more of a general one, to verify that I haven't missed anything as I was playing through it. And I know I missed some content from Evelyn, something about waiting 2 days, but I'll take care of that later, lol. But my question is this, there are currently no intercourse scenes in the game, right? Or was that in the content I missed with Evelyn, as I'm playing patched? I didn't know what I was doing half the time, as the UI was VERY different, from other games I've played, and somewhat confusing, until you get the hang of it. But it was 2.45 gigs with the patch, and the closest thing you get to full sex, is from the teacher, and a BJ from Nea, but is there something more to get from the other girls? I'd especially like some Jamie/Mom stuff, but is there more content in those 2.45 gigs, or just not there yet? And sorry for asking about it, but I was very surprised about the lack of content in relation to the size of the current version (1.74 gigs), even without the patch. Thanks in advance for any answer by anyone, that might help me shed some light on this.

(Intercourse scenes other than with the teacher, I mean, just to clarify.)

i think the teacher is the only one you have actual sex with right now.

Thanks man, really appreciate it. But kinda lame, given the data size of it, as it stands now. Because my initial playthrough was Jamie focused, and then there's no payoff, damn...

And I'm not really into BDSM or Dom/Sub stuff, so I'd prefer going all the way with Jamie, as she's way more interesting to me, while the teacher basically throws herself at you, which in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the BDSM and the character itself, just makes her "Meh" for me, at least. Let's hope Luxee can keep building on what's already there, and create a really good game/VN out of it. But as others in this thread have pointed out, the all or nothing choice with Nea, and no possible "friendship route" being an option, is a thing I would appreciate as well, because suicide is kinda harsh, vs. having to love her for that to not be the outcome. Otherwise I thank you again, and recommend you try Radiant, if you already haven't. But it also comes with an emotional gut-punch in the start of the game, but otherwise a really good, and good looking game. (So far, it's still not even near being a final version.)

thanks for the recommendation, i'll give it a look.

Yes Alicia is the only one you can bang right now, who's basically just there in the game for those who want quicker action rather than waiting.

Thank you as well, but like I said, it's a shame there's not more full sex scenes in the game as of yet. But with the different paths being intertwined and dependent on eachother like they are, it might be a while before we see more intercourse scenes, but of course, I could be completely wrong. But thanks anyway, and here's to hoping...

I'm sure there will be within the next few updates; Seki just broke a barrier by sending a nude, as did Millie. I don't know what's going to happen to Evie, Tess, or the mother. I'm guessing since this update was Millie and Seki for the most part, the next one will probably include Evelyn & Alicia.

No way to know what Luxee has planned, and I personally don't like the girls' routes playing off one another. I just wanted a 1-on-1 with a girl not have to worry about another girl's route having to be played first before you access the girl you want.

I know Luxee wanted to do a real-time thing, and that's fine, that's cool. Just something I'm not very personally used to.

I'm with you on that, I was trying to do a Jamie focused route, but it's simply not possible as of now. But I hope that's something Luxee adds later on, at least as an option, for those so inclined, such as myself. Long story short, I'm not a fan of the intertwined path myself, unless it finds a good way to execute into the whole harem thing, where you're not completely LOCKED to one girl by your choices. I played DMD, and got a game over, because of ONE particular choice, and that was annoying as hell, lol.

I never played DmD, so I wouldn't know much about the game.

In the short intro, when he's in the diner talking to his neighbor, there's obviously a hint that he's there with his girlfriend, so naturally, it's up to us through his memories to choose who that is. Right now, it's too early to tell as things are basically getting started; one route activates another and so on, and Nea activates I think right now about half of them.

I think once we start seeing the story more cemented, we'll have ample time with the girl (or girls) that we want. I always wonder, like you said, about the intertwining of routes. Are we going to be able to get our chosen girl solo or will it be a choice (I really do hope so) if we want an MFF thing or more. That's not my cup of tea (minus the Forbidden route in PL) but with me having three potential main LIs here, it's not going to be easy for me to choose.

I normally don't do runs for multiple girls in games, but I guess this game might be the first where I'm just going to have deal with what comes.

Well, I think that greatly depends on the game, but like you said, in this game we just have to deal with how it's set up now, until Luxee decides to change things up, if that ever happens. But with that being said, I'm not against harem routes, if it's executed well, like it is in PL. And with 5 different endings, it adds extra playability to the game as well. And everything is done very well in PL, so you really can play the game however YOU as the player, choose to.

I have four girls from this game in my "Luxee" rotating sig. I know what I want (a solo with Evelyn, that's my main choice).

Millie might have an option to be solo or with Evie.
Seki and Yui are the group package here for sure. There's no way Luxee is going to break up two sisters like that. I mean yeah, he sort of did it with Elly's route in PL, and that's why I don't do that route because of leaving Ada behind.

Right now, Heather's a wild-card, but Heather obviously likes him from the next morning after the party scene.
Alicia - fucktoy pet. Plain and simple.

Since we haven't had anything with Jamie or Tess yet, I have no idea how that's going to run, but those two routes, for now, seemed to rely on each other.

Cha - I don't like her, or her brother. Drama I don't want all-around from that route.
Nea - Well, avoidance or, well, we saw the alternative if you turn her down.

It's going to be a while before things stabilize with our chosen girl, so it's a "sit and wait" thing for now.

 

[damjohn]

is there a way to get the relationship change without adding the Millie, preeti scenes? or will it be easier to just skip them in there entirety lol

 

[Deleted member 4298851]

Preeti's route relies on Evelyn. You don't have to do her route. Millie's relies on a few girls, but I don't think you HAVE to do it. But at one point, I think you have to go through Millie to get through to a couple of Evie scenes; i.e. when they're playing Kartman on the couch.

Either way I think eventually, you're probably going to have to do everything anyway. It's way too early in this game's development to keep saves to carry over to the next update and using CTRL or TAB to fly through the game takes very little time.

Once the routes cement, and you have time with your chosen girl(s) it's better off just to do everything, even if you speed through the dialogue.
