I can't speak for the site as a whole, but the Intertwined thread is one of the most civil that I visit, especially considering how active it is. Sure we can have some wild and wacky theories and discussions that would probably drive Nyx crazy, but it's usually done in a light-hearted way.
I fully understand though why dev's can get annoyed though with the site as a whole, especially when people leak their game on release day.
The criticism that made her quit was when a release took more than what was the usual at the time and people started calling her a "milker", this was the thing that made her leave.
Criticism of certain aspects of the story often got an angry reaction from her, but weren't what made her leave.
I hope Nyx fixes the Lexi design for update 14. She has those stomach stretch marks and the early zombie skin color now. She had a healthier pallor in earlier versions.
Lexi and the beach changing rooms (I loved the fancy ones with the curtains) need some rework.
Yeah most girls improved how they look when Nyx got new hardware and changed certain aspects of the game, but Alexis went from brunette to zombie.
Her sking didn't react well to the new lightning or got a different tone that didn't work.
The changing rooms are weird lol.
Nyx made every location much fancier with the updates, MCs house, Melissa's, Monroes, the school... all got big remakes and look much fancier and prettier now.
And then she changed those fancy changing rooms(there's an early Layla scene in our first beach visit) with curtains for a... big porta-potty lol.
