ACT Abandoned [The Zeta Team] Project X: Love Potion Disaster (Latest Build: "NExT" 2019-01-29)

Re: Project X: New update v5.5 released 8th August 2014

I'm pretty certain that the radio silence about development doesn't mean that it's stopped. I've been following the community fairly closely for some time now, there's been longer periods of time where not much of note had happened.
Just be patient. As unfortunate as it is new releases are often very far apart, so there's little else to be said on that subject unless you want to ask Zeta herself.

I'm pretty sure the lack of updates from the group is due to them not wanting everyone to get hyped up and have too many expectations on when the next update will be out. Last time they tried hinting at when an update would be released, people were raging because it wasn't on schedule or didn't have as much new content as they wanted, etc.

Long story short: don't say anything so the audience won't have any expectations, therefore the audience will always be pleasantly surprised

Good, that means they're learning.

I mean, it's a pretty basic facet of human psychology, but they've got what to do now

The absence of failure conditions doesn't necessitate success. Yeah, if you don't say anything, no one will hate you. But no one will like you, either.

Non-disclosure is a shitty development strategy. It's only marginally less shitty than disclosure that ends up upsetting everyone.

well a monthly progress report wouldn't be too bad thought,
they don't need to give any release dates, nobody expected this to be out anytime soon,
but at least people can see that they're still working on it,
and are not dead breakup or something,

that would be better than just saying:
"keep waiting till we're done, and if it takes to long for you why don't you make a game?
oh right you can't because you're just lazy perverts buhaahu"

They wouldn't just quit on the game. I'm sure that even if they did, they'd at least post something about keeping the game on hold indefinitely or actually cancelling it.

The next version may come sooner than you think, but it's just my speculation now. I don't know shit.

I wonder what the requirements are going to be to unlock Pen and Zeta in the sound test.

Maybe it's a miserable gauntlet stacked totally against your favor and you only get one life to try and survive it without healing items.

That, or beating the entire game (so far) without getting raped not even once.

Welp, their domain has expired. Wonder where this will lead or if it will be back up in a few days?

It's not "obvious" unless we assume you are infallible. You could just as easily have fucked up, and not want to admit it.

To be fair, I have no way of knowing either unless someone from the dev team confirms it one way or another.

EDIT: Looks like the issue is due to bandwidth limits.

Wait, so...

They're adding a new world already even though many, many characters are still incompatible with the enemies in the 4th world?

Quite a while back, the group took a poll to decide characters that would continuously be updated at the cost of having some characters incompatibale at new stages. This way they could keep the majority of fans happy with relatively frequent updates without needing massive amounts of man power to think up new animations for all the enemies and all available partners. So don't count on everyone getting updated. It's a worthwhile sacrifice considering their progress and quality.

Ah, I see. Well if it was a poll answered by their community, guess I can't complain too much. Just can't get behind that mindset myself. I'd hate to leave things incomplete and just move on to working on adding more new things to the game.

Or they could do like King does with their games. Add the new enemies later

Exactly which characters were dropped? I hope they kept Rogue and Amy!
