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

Re: Project X: New update v5.8 released April 8th 2015

The complaints are inevitable, in a way. After all, this yearly waiting time is... pretty silly.

Agreed. There have been indie Dev's on DLsite that have pumped out 3 or 4 successful games in the time that we've been waiting for level 5.

Not shitting on the team because Lives don't always give us free time... But 2 years for a level is getting kinda nuts...

If I'm a white knight then you're a drama llama.

Sick burn, cuts deep.

Just someone with patience and understanding, which one thing the drama llamas seem to lack.

"calls out all you idiots"

-Understanding

Sure man, whatever you want to think.

Look, we all know you're gonna play the game when it comes out anyways, otherwise you wouldn't even bother making a post in this thread, let alone complain about how long it's taking. You care as much as I do but I'd rather NOT be an ass about it, especially since the game is free.

First, I never complained about the wait time, I only acknowledged that both the devs and the people wanting updates have reasonable stances. Secondly, you can hardly claim the moral high ground when you go around calling the game's detractors 'asses' because they voice their concern over the long update times.

The guys calling it vaporware do go overboard with it, but it's easy to see where their concerns come from given the tendency for H-games to just disappear into smoke mid-development.

Relentlessly defending the game by throwing insults at anyone with a different opinion regarding the development only hurts the image of the game more and causes more drama for the devs. Simmer down.

If it means expecting more positive vibes than needless crying, then I wear it with pride.

One V One me, simple Knave,
This forum board will be your grave.
I'll rend your heart with lance and bile,
Then heap your corpse upon carrion pile.

My mace and hate will smash your shield,
My sword will give no chance to yield.
Upon this day it is your death,
Defending porn with your last breath.

Back and forth you try to hit,
But off my plate your strikes do slip.
My shield of malice wards your blows,
Unable to match my fighting pose.

With lightning strike into your breast,
Your eyes go dim as you join the rest.
Falling right back onto your arse,
You finally know that you shan't pass.

Re: Project X: New update v5.8 released April 8th 2015

Shitposting? I must get in on this!



Anyone whining for progress on this game is an ungrateful entitled fuck!



Anyone defending the devs is a gullible stupid shill!

Don't get this thread locked... What suddenly spurred everyone off anyway? Nothing's really changed.

Re: Project X: New update v5.8 released April 8th 2015

Nothing's really changed.

I think that's what's kicking people off.
It comes in waves. Spurred on by minor updates to the site or development announcements. Sometimes it's just random, spurred by a thoughtless or throwaway comment.

The analytics show that the site is experiencing steady traffic, both new and existing users with not much fluctuation in the past few months. A boost here and there when there's new announcements, but that's about it.

But if the senseless bickering continues here the way it has, I will request a thread lock until the next update is pushed.

I'm not on board with senseless shitposting, but I'm also not on board with you outright hijacking this thread.
Constructive or not, criticism is criticism. I'd rather people get it off their chests here than elsewhere, and at this rate the thread would be better off just getting deleted lest we not see it get unlocked for another half a year.

And then there are people like this with a loose grasp of the English language shitposting about something to get their post count up/join in on the fun because why not? In 2 easy steps, I'll help the white knights/angry peasants deal with their pent-up frustrations over a lack of releases/people reacting poorly to a lack of releases/the mud-slinging.

1) Turn off your computer
2) Get some sunshine

I can think of about a thousand better threads to post in and things to do off this site in 30 seconds than shitposting about a mediocre sonic porn game (Because at this point, even TFS has taken the low-hanging fruit and made fun of the fandom) from one side or the other. So, some tips before posting:

-> Has there been an update to the game itself that everyone can comment on? No? Then that topic is irrelevant.

-> Has the dev team issued a statement regarding the state of the game, development ending, etc? No? Then that topic is irrelevant.

-> Has the game been modified, altered, stolen, etc by some unsavory character and now we must all unite to salvage what parts remain undamaged? No? Then that topic is irrelevant.

-> Did the devs come out to talk shit about the fanbase, call out the "haters", "trolls", "whiners"? Yes? No? Either way, it's not worth much more than a passing acknowledgement. Topic is irrelevant.

-> Was there an update on what the next patch/expansion will involve? Yes? No? If yes, discuss the shit out of it. If not, then the topic is irrelevant.

If there is only going to be mud-flinging, then it's better this topic is closed for however long. Clearly, 18+ is only a number to claim you're an adult by rather than an indication of your maturity level. I swear, some of you never received a spanking or were otherwise punished for acting unruly, the way you behave.

Re: Project X: New update v5.8 released April 8th 2015

Let's be fair to both sides here:

Zeta, unlike a lot of patreons, can't be accused of stringing this game along for pay. There have been many missed updates, but as far as I remember, the next bit always did come out, and they weren't ever extremely behind (relative to other projects I see on these forums all the time). It seems the people who get into development are inaccurate about the amount of time it will take them to achieve each goal they set for themselves. I remember when even Eluku was getting flak for their constant updating, because it revealed too much of the game a little at a time and then people wanted longer periods of development between releases. The trouble with trying to listen to mass opinion is that it all becomes grouped under bigger umbrellas, and that mislabels what a lot of people want. So everyone saying something they wish they saw out of this game, over time, quickly becomes "demands" by the audience, which I don't think the majority are, though I do believe a good few do have to be whiny little bitches. However, for anyone who thinks that "You can't complain that someone is giving you something for free" should probably take the cross of their back and crucify themselves with it if they want to be a martyr so bad. If someone says they'll do something for you, even if it's a favor by them, and continually muck it up, that absolutely is worth telling them off for it. Anyone saying that seems like they're never had an unreliable person in their lives. I was practically raised on that shit and can tell you that, if you promise to do something for someone and you're not following through, you're fuckin em over.

Granted, I don't think this team has been "fucking anyone over," and I still hotly anticipate their further releases. The thing I expect of them is the same thing I expect of everyone, which is just basing their worth on their word. I know that indie H game developers are probably the worst crowd to want this from, but I just wish more were better at evaluating and managing their time. I don't care if they say they'll release updates weekly like Eluku, or if they announce they're starting a game that will be released in 3 years. If you're the one setting a deadline, just meet that deadline. Anyone that's reasonable will be fine with it, and anyone not fine with it is a knob and just shrug them off. In the meantime, just do what you do.

And for anyone else reading this, civility seems to have disappeared a little bit from this discussion, so I'm ashamed to say that, on this topic, I'll have the final say. Anything further will be about game content. Please continue as you will

Re: Project X: New update v5.8 released April 8th 2015

For those with ideas/suggestions, the PX team still has threads going, playing with ideas for stages 7 and 8. I assume the casino level will have bunnies or bunny outfits. Personally, I'm hoping for some kind of playable slots like S2's casino night zone; wins get health/points, losses get some kind of h-move. Be a cool touch, it probably wouldn't work with the game engine though *shrug*

This is the idea where when you see it you go "How the fuck did I not think of that".

But yeah, a slot machine mimic is a great idea, the only problem being there's not a lot the team could work with. To my knowledge, they haven't used any inanimate objects as enemies yet either. Would probably be tongue based since that's what mimics generally have besides teeth.

Truth

Maybe they've done something close; remember how they had enemies pop out of the pumpkins? Might be able to use a similar trick?

Or maybe if you lose it just turns into a tentacled badnik? Maybe like a sort of "hidden" enemy?
