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

[Skode]

Right, I thought so. I remembered pointing it out before that it might be a good idea to reword the choice in a future update to make it clear that there really isn't a friendship only option.

So force players who are here to fap into seeing content they are not fapping to just because the emotional blackmail that comes from choosing no to the trans character? solution is easy - just have a toggle from offset for Trans/Gay content and if its off then you never meet Nea in game. That or devs stop over saturating games with such a focus on trans stuff - the dev made his fortune from family fun kink (and even more taboo smol variant at that) in past endeavour and heavily emphasises all that here too... why would he expect his target audience to have a vastly different target is beyond me. Like other comments have said - its like he's tried to amalgamate two very different games into one just so he can appease his build up fan base of backers with a harem loving family including a sex obsessed little sister and cuckqueen mom at the same time as have this very different tonal romance and bullied storyline with a trans character who likely most of them passed over. Clearly its not working as hes done a full 180 to return to his past project and this games reception has been no where as positive as that was (likely because of aforementioned weird style clash within the game).

I was unaware Luxee was standing behind you while you play, wielding a Glock, I thought that was just me.

You have to admire their dedication and their ability to be in 2 places at once.

Nea, Jaime (Mom), and Millie are the best girls, in that order. That's all I came to say.

Ah the classic rebuttal to my detailed post - a vague attempt at humour ignoring the points within it. Still if were talking admiration then we can at least admire a dev going back to what worked. Mods almost never stick an abandoned tag on a game no matter how long its been stagnant if its popular enough (look at ecchi sensei - took about a year and a half lol).

I put considerably more effort into rebutting your post than you did formatting it

If you want an intelligent response, post in a manner worthy of it or all you'll get is the kind of bullshit I responded with last time

To the actual point raised in this post, mods need things brought to their attention as, hopefully for the sake of their mental health, they don't have the time to constantly monitor every thread equally. Didn't play Ecchi Sensei but it wouldn't surprise me if the latter part of its thread was full of posts commenting on a lack of communication from the dev but zero reports to the staff

I've been on the romance path with Nea since day 1.

It could also be that the non romance path was making them feel the same way they did when they were doing to the wife only route for PL and decided they didn't want to go through that again or they just got tired of all of the bitching and said fuck it.

a toggle

There already is one in the game. At the start of the game you can pick if you want trans content = You'll see Nea's content - you don't want trans content = No content with Nea you'll still have to trigger their events but they'll be ignored and not play and just jump to the new event - Just be friends = be friends with Nea without any sexual content.

So wait help me understand this,Why is Luxee working on Parental Love again instead of working on this game I mean isn't that game completed.

 

[Ifartedtoolong]

Why is Luxee working on Parental Love

This has been stated multiple times in the thread you can also go to the OP click their website and then tracker to see what they're doing with PL.

That's like saying a game released on PS5, Series X or Switch is complete when it 'goes gold' which, given the proliferation of day 1 patches and later updates is clearly no longer the case (it should be but that's another issue)

Luxee wants to improve PL as is their right, we have the choice to either support or boycott them which is our right

I don't know why all this confusion. Everyone knows that the developer is working on the first game, and that it will only be continued after the one ends.
As for the tag, it's the site's rules, but it's not a definitive thing.
For me, I hope he can improve PL, although for me, what's wrong with that game would be the animations, if he can improve that part, for me, it's already great.

True, there are a number of games which have had the abandoned tag removed after the dev got back to them (some of them got it back later, looking at you Red Room)

 

[G0DZillA]

So Nea is gone now!! Good bye

 

[flanby]

What?! Abandoned?? Noooo (
I don't understand why, I liked it very much.

Per site rules, not actually. Unbunch your panties.

 

[Ariostebaldo]

If I'm not mistaken, even Parental Love got the abandoned tag slapped at some point in the past and, as we can see, Parental Love was never really abandoned.

I'm kinda tired of repeating the same fucking thing over and over because people think this site decides when games are finished...

Edit : Yeah yeah keep spamming facepalm reactions on my posts.

 

[jamdan]

The tag is misplaced. This isn't abandoned, it's on-hold while he works on the steam release of PL.

But to be fair, he has taken way too long on that steam PL release.

 

[Master of Puppets]

That's harsh, poor Nea I'm on the romance path with her so I luckily didn't get this scene.
But I wouldn't blame the main character for this, Nea was already in a tough spot.

Honestly, in what concern Luxee decision to go this way in the story, I think he written Nea off in the non romance path to short their work load. I mean, why keep working on a Nea path that is made specifically for players that ain't even interested in her to begin with?
Some may say ..."Oh, but I like Nea, I'm just not romantically interested in her." Well, it's a shame, but let me tell you, this is a porn game for god sake!
The way Luxee made it may be harsh, but reason why he made it is understandable, imo.

It really isn't though. Nea friendship route would be way easier to make than Nea suicide route. Friendship route would be exactly the same as romance route just with the sex scenes cut out. No new renders and a few alternative lines of dialogue. Without her though, every scene that she would have appeared in alongside any of the other girls will need an alternative making without her in it.

Unless... ghost Nea? She stays in the scene, but MC is the only one who can see her?

I clicked No for trans/futa. I always do due to utter lack of interest, hoping to play time something personally stimulating. At some point, it seemed like every other character only progressed via Nea.

If all the frames spent on Nea were divided among the family members, this story would have gotten to a point where I would have been tempted to support it.

You serious? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Steam seems to be where the money is, but it obviously necessitates a lot of changes to game, and with PL that would be more than most. I think PL is the more Steam-friendly game between that and A69 though. The visual novel style of Parental Love will probably do well there, even if a lot of content and kinks are removed.
