Updates, progression, A69 info and release predictions
🕑 Added 2018-07-04 19:19:00 +0000 UTC First of all, happy independence day to everyone in the land of the free. I made a happy little extra render for 'yallIt's been quite a while since the last PL update. 12 weeks to be exact, that's a whole lot of time, especially when you consider We're probably not even halfway through the development cycle for this next release.
It's not all bad though, I do come with good news as well. My new computer finally got delivered and it's performing insanely well. I can now render about three to four times faster than before, add to that, the fact that I have two rigs now, I can do all sorts of other shit with my old rig while the new one is churning out renders lightning fast.
There's also something I wanted to clear up as I've seen some confusion. I haven't actually had people come up to me and say they don't want the Emily update or that they'd unpledge if I released it by itself. The decision to release A69 alongside 0.7 is a decision I made myself just to feel better about the release. Some of you undoubtedly would prefer me release the Emily update alone to get it over with, so in that sense, I do apologize, but at least you can't say I'm trying to scam 'yall for more money. I hope you can see my side on this.
Alright, let's get to the elephant in the room. What is this 'A69'?
Apartment #69 is a free roam point and click game where you move from place to place in a city looking for activateable visual novel events marked with an exclamation point. Animated sex scenes are planned, but we'll still have to see about that.
You're Anon, a 20 year old man attending college. After a lucky streak in your freelance programming career leaves you with a sizable possession of cash, you finally decide to move out of your old landlady's house.
The game begins when you're leaving for your new apartment and saying goodbye to your landlady, Jamie and two younger roommates Tess and Evelyn.
Along the way, you'll meet many more characters aside from those three. In this first demo, the characters you'll be meeting include
Heather, a girl who you've seen bullying other students, perhaps you can change that part of her? The model for this character was made by a 3DX artist named Wolf. Check him out here
Cha'relle, she has an overprotective brother who's not quite fond of you trying to hook up with his sister
And Nea, a girl who's extremely self conscious and confused about her gender and sexuality.
As has been said before, after these two updates drop (hopefully in 2018) the plan is to put A69 on hold and start working full time on PL 0.8.
I'm not saying that as a 100% fact for now because technically, if for some reason A69 becomes much more favored and popular than PL, I may hold polls or something at some point to see if yall want more A69 updates in the future. However, even if that happens, PL won't get abandoned. I have a bit of a moral duty to finish the game now because this one sick fucker from my discord named his child after a character in PL. So if for no other reason, that's one hell of a good reason to finish the game π
But also just because I don't want to come off as a scammer by not finishing my very first game :P

Glad to hear PL isn't dieing, its one of my favorite games to play to escape.

On that note, A69 looks interesting, but for me personally PL will be my favored game for reasons that cannot be expressed on here.

I am just happy to hear that PL is going to be finished. There is still so much more story to tell and yeah it would suck to leave it where it is. So, thanks again for not completely abandoning it.

And I do hope, even if you finish the game, that there still will be updates for it, polishment, maybe new content, once you get time for it? I love this game, and really did not want to see the end of it :)

I definitely agree with @jish55, only charging when an update is released is awesome on your part. Your new game sounds good & can't wait to see it whenever that will be that is. However PL still has all my attention until its complete. I mean it is the game that got you started & so many pledges. Continue at your own pace sir & can you please post something at least once a month if possible. Mainly so our hunger for PL is satiated.

The beauty about subbing to you is that you're not charging us each month, so there's no reason to unsub when you're nice enough to only charge us once you release major updates. Now, for this new game, the model I like the most is Cha'relle (I love women with darker skin, and she has a beautiful look about her).
