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

[Hellster]

The 1.1 PL update slowed everything down. In my opinion, it didn't need to be done at all, as the game was already finished, and it was mainly just sex scene stuff added, so not a lot of actual new meat on the bone, but now that PL is done, for good this time, hopefully Lux will get things going and we'll get back to some sort of normalcy now.

I'm not worried. So it takes a bit longer. Big deal. I can wait.

Originally the idea that was put forward, was they were going to work on the extra stuff for PL in the background and continue development of A69 so it wouldn't be slowed down, but somewhere along the line I guess they decided to do just the PL stuff and not touch A69 until it was finished.
As a subscriber at the time (for A69 since PL was finished over a year prior), and the original plan that was mentioned, I was fine with that, but when they dropped developing A69 to work on PL instead, so I left.

I think the PL update was due in no small part because Luxee needed a break from A69. Maybe they felt that if they switched things up for a bit that they could come back to A69 refreshed. But instead it might be more a case of they've come back to the game and are even less interested in it. I suspect that's not going to change any time soon. I think that the game hasn't really gone the way that Luxee expected and they're not really sure where to go with it or to tie things together. Or they're just bored of their own creation. But unless something changes, this game would take several years to complete, if it finishes at all.

Well I hope they continue development of A69, I really like the game, the only gripe I have with it is the 2 forced choices with Nea, but other than that I really like it, would be a shame if it got abandoned.

I would hate for this game to end or be dropped, but I don't think that'll happen, and I agree on the Nea stuff, which is why I either avoid her or send her to where she can't come back from.

I very much doubt Lux is leaving this game in purgatory, but burnout is a pretty common thing with devs. I'm not in any way concerned. If this were a few other devs I have in mind, I would be very worried, but I'm not.

came for the lolies, stayed for the great tgirl arc, hell - i would even say best from all VNs with trans tag i played so far, Nea just exactly my type, shame it ended rather soon and beside short bj scene there wasn't anything else

If memory serves, Luxee did say at some point that the change in style (from linear VN with choies to a more sandboxey type thing) was a new thing for them. So if you add the burnout and the absolutely trashy reception for Nea from some people, it's hardly surprising that all this put together would be quite deadly for Luxee's motivation/work capacity.
People love to forget devs are all but humans as well, with all the weaknesses that entails.

Can anyone post the lastest full post on patreon, if this game is now being worked on, then this thread should be reported to have the abandoned tag removed.

There's been multiple times people have tried to appeal to the tag with the tracker and stuff and the mod team decided the tag was to stay.
Likely they won't remove it no matter what until there's an actual update, sadly.
So we'll have to deal with the people posting about how the game is abandonned for a bit more time...

Ah, I see, oh well fuck it, time to switch to watching without emails than.

Sometimes I wonder if including the abandoned tag in certain games is really meant to count how many people come in to complain about it.

At this rate, an update per year with usually five minutes or less of gameplay... Well I used to support Luxee but it has just become absurd.

As long as Luxee doesn't do more work on PL or decide to start up a new game, hopefully they can get out two updates a year. As you said though, there's not much content in the updates, especially if you're not on the Nea path. It's mainly wandering around, triggering memories that don't last all that long. If people have to wait several months for an update and it's either mostly Nea content, or mostly not Nea content, alternative groups of people will be pissed off. Maybe it's knowing that he's made a game with two competing fanbases for that is draining the creativity out of Luxee. Certainly there's people who love everything in the game, but there's also definite Pro-Nea and only Nea people on one side, and other people who don't care for Nea but like some or all of the other love interests. We'll have to see how Luxee balances those out going forward or if he changes the focus of the game to make it a more unified experience.

Nah PL is done, for good this time, now he just needs to get past the burnout and try to get things back on track. I'm one of those people who want absolutely nothing to do with Nea (as well as Tess, Jamie, Cha, Preeti or Alicia. deductive reasoning should point out to who I want in this game) so I ignore her or send her on a one-way trip.

Never liked this game as much as PL because most of it rotates around a single character so you can't do the other's events without doing Nea's, so I'm assuming Lux has to do two paths here, or I guess three; romance, ignore, and roof dive. Just as long as she's not in any of my endings with the girls I want, I'm happy (and that goes the same way with Alicia being involved in Seki's route)

You're supposed to use the report link at the bottom of the post and write in the text field that a download link is broken (and which one of course)

Well... this definitely didn't come out this summer.

I was just checking the website. I hope it doesn't take too long to come out. It has been almost a year without an update.

 

[Badjourasmix]

He was working on final add-ons to PL
so it was expected to be a longer time gap anyway

Yeah I know but it still sucks. I personally wasn't really interested in playing PL again just for a few new scenes. But I am glad that stuff is out of the way now and he can focus on this game.

 

[deyalord]

still sad i saw no nea in next update

 

[jospaghettio]

The game(and Luxee) might benefit from paring down of the ensemble. The narrative has much less focus than PL and the cast of characters don't blend well imo. Loli and trans and buxom(Tess) and master slave.

I love Tess! Like Charlotte. Disinterested in Seki. And dislike Alicia. But in my opinion all of them could be cut to give the game a greater focus. Too late now save for a dramatic bus accident haha.

Luxee is great for combining lewd with sweet. That was the draw of PL. Hope his writing continues in that direction.

There has been a lot of Nea in the previous updates, it's time for other LIs to get the development they lack.

I like almost all LI to a greater or lesser extent. The ones I like the most are Cha'relle, Heather and Tess. I'm very interested to see what Jamie's planning. My interest in Evelyn, Millie, Seki and Yui isn't as big as the other 4, but that doesn't mean I don't like them (the truth is that I can say I like them all). The only one I really don't like is Alicia.

On the other hand, in my game, Nea had a dramatic accident and there doesn't seem to be any chance of her reappearing.
