Others Abandoned Project X: Love Potion Disaster [v7.8 Alpha] [Zeta Team]

[Daxter250]

There's s new forum and also you need to get approved by an admin, still, nobody talks on the forum anymore.

what a way to completely fuck up a really good game

 

[Mαlice]

You need an account on the Forums, wait for Melissa to activate that, then you have to link that account to the Discord and wait for a Mod or Admin to verify you but you must have the exact name on both Discord and the Forums to be allowed in.

They are a very controlling and paranoid group and it is not worth the effort, as anything about the game progress just gets met with a very ignorant reply of "It's done when it is done" and the only thing that actively comes up on there is Melissa constantly asking for some "help" towards website costs or towards something she/he wants.

If you want information off them, then you need to convince them to reply (as typing is super hard for them) by flashing some cash in their faces. They will suddenly spark up and talk then and then go silent just as fast after, they always do.

What the other guy said, it's a good game, but shitty devs, i would say fucking assholes. Anyway, the game won't see an update in like two more years, if it's an actual update not like the last one that was just recycled animations and was after two years, lmao that always makes me laugh.

This is all the last person who asked got on how things were progress wise. They say they work as a group but I don't see how anything can be tested when Zeta is the only one with the engine itself. Seems she does not even trust her team members enough with her own game that they are helping to develop, yet her "Life" always comes into the answer when people simply ask how things are going, yet everyone knows full well Zeta just lazes about on Second Life and other websites, expecting money to still roll in from this.

To put it in their actual words: "Zeta cannot be bothered to do anything right now and we cannot show progress as there has been none made since the last update, aside from an odd animation here and there. There most likely won't be an update for another year or so but don't count on anything because we don't care enough as no one is rolling in the money to motivate us to do anything."

Instead of simply being honest and dropping the entire project because they have no passion for it anymore, they prefer to lead people on under the impression something is actually being worked on because they like that remaining attention from the small fan base they have left, whom are foolish enough to still donate to the thing.

Dang, that just makes me sad and angry simultaneously. Losing interest in the project and labeling the project in hold only for them to receive, at most, pocket change, from people that believe this instead of them saying "we don't care about this game anymore due to our paranoia and incompetence as a team to release our project to the public."

At this point, I'm expecting someone to recreate the engine and release their own custom-made assets to the public/community so that they make content themselves. A shame really

This is exactly why they receive a lot of hate and don't understand they are the reason of their own problems they label as drama and trolls. They just cannot seem to comprehend that no visual progress being made does not count as something that should be supported, yet they keep asking for it and get pissed off when people refuse or justify the team's actions.

The other thing that aggravates people is that many offered their help to the project to lessen the amount of work and space between updates but Zeta turns them all away without reason and now they have hibernated to a tightly secure Discord, where people have to join a dead forum to gain access to something that does not have any progress on it either.

It's just sad and pretty pathetic they turn their noses on people after asking for help, being offered it and just basically middle fingering everyone away.

Isn't the game made with that old OpenBoR (Open Beats of Rage) thing anyways? Or did they move on from that at some point? I get that there's at least... some degree of custom code or whatever they'd have to do themselves, but I think it's funny/weird/interesting that Zeta apparently has some iron grip over the engine when it's just a modified open-source thing anyways.

I feel like from what I've seen on this site you could make a far more competent game in a different engine, in far less time than it took Zeta's team. A Sonic the Hedgehog-themed ero-game doesn't sound like the hardest thing to make, you don't even have to make it a beat-em-up (which imo was always an odd choice for a Sonic ero-game anyways). If I were in charge though I'd probably go in a far different direction, because quite a few enemies in the game are just not something I'd want to see fucking a Sonic character. Probably have less of Zeta's weird fetishes and more of my own

It's a slightly modified OpenBOR engine that was nothing special. It was only altered to protect files from being extracted as far as I know and Zeta does not own the damn engine, though she acts like she does. I really cannot see anything else coming of this game and their new artist that does animations has only showcased the plant animations from stage 2 but there has been zero gameplay previews which makes me believe they are just having this guy make odd animations to keep leading people on it is still being made.

I'd be up for someone else taking a different approach with a Sonic game, anyone would be by now.

The game was cracked just so you know. It's on u18chan.

 

[Mαlice]

7.8 was cracked ages ago on there. Nothing new aside from what I said before has came along since.

 

[Quixe]

For me the weird thing with the new sprite artist is he doesn't like cuminflation, which is kind of the main point of the game :v

Just sort of proved my point how her entire team says she has such major IRL problems and work 24/7 that she has no time for absolutely anything yet when it comes to Second Life, she is almost always there most days at most times and is hard at work when the "money" word is involved, whether it be to fund a Sim or her own project. She is nothing short than two faced that outright lies to her own fanbase with broken promises but still expects the attention.

Realistically, this game does not have a future unless proven with actual evidence of progress and in game screenshots, though we all know anyone asking for that is just middle fingers and thrown aside by the ignorant masses of her team and community.

Not to mention Moralde is that dude that Zeta lent her character to for that Project X YCH comic that made like $2000 and no one has ever seen, but apparently the people who bought into it were sent previews on private discord. That Zeta was only supposed to be lending her character to the comic, but ended up being a list of contributing artist to the BounceZone patreon...That never got off the ground and now the two of them are trying to make a private SL sim that'll somehow be paid for from a cut of the escort profits despite it being a private sim, I don't even know how that's supposed to work especially considering even the most popular mobian sims are graveyards now.

Edit: Back when I used to talk to Zeta Ialways told them to talk to their community more and be 100% transparent since if people got the wrong idea they had no one but themselves to blame for the toxicity that came their way. After getting threatened witht hem sending their fans after me, blocked from the site and discord and bitchblocked for "discrediting the reputation of the project" For explaining the rumors and theories to someone because Zeta never listened to my advice. It's kinda nice to them still being as clear as mud and jerking people around.

She would never allow her character to be in something she could not profit off and originally it was going to be lent out but after that wormed her way around to make it about her and the money most likely going to her also. It amazed the hell out of me how stupid people were willing to pay over $100 for their character to appear on a single page of a comic that never made the day of light, so hearing that she apparently PM'ed people their strip in Discord is just another bad excuse as the team is too paranoid to share their own work with anyone and that has also been proven before now.

First off, they put a lot of time and effort into Project X to gain a massive following, now they seem to not care much for the game at all anymore now that it has drawn people in and cannot make anymore money from it via "donations to help motivate the team". They create online scams with empty promises and little care for the safety of their own fans and brush off anyone that addresses simple issues or questions their odd motivations that could possibly put their little ideals at risk and the fact hardly anyone can see this is just downright stupid.

A sim known as Bounce Zone on Second Life seems to be their latest obsession and reason for no progress (a.k.a Zeta is too busy with work 24/7 to do anything) as usual and you can donate Linden Dollars (usually you pay real money for this currency to buy things on the marketplace) to those that just stand and dance on a virtual 3D world, so it looks like the team want money to get things they want for free, yet again. Just a different method and people still fall for it.

Nah apparently Moralde did so in his private discord gallery not Zeta. Also never say "The team" All the troubles Project X has is pretty much due to Zeta's decisions. The spriters more or less do their work then wait.

As for Secondlife Zeta has been doing that for years and even had a custom model made and imported in about 5 or so years ago. The worst part is sitting here hoping that the game gets some more progress and hoping that Zeta realizes how bad it's gotten and manages to fix their behavior but I don't think that'll happen

See, originally I never included the Sprite Artists as part of the team but then I also thought that they must really be absent minded to join such a thing after they can easily see around online just how bad Zeta treats her team and members but I could also see Zeta not being against blackmailing people to get what she wants as no one in the world is that obedient to a person that it goes beyond creepy and cringe.

at his point why not, just make a discord and mod the shit of the game and do the game ourselves?

Cuz they would harass the fuck out of you. The whole audience that supports them are all white knights.

There was an upload for the cracked files over on U18 awhile ago. Nothing came of it...
