Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.06.01] [Aleksey90]

[thocra]

Yes, DS is making his own follow up called Glamour.
...

What I still miss somehow is the general interaction between the two. Now that they crossed a certain line (let's just say: rewards for a 'foot' massage), they should be a bit more open, some random fooling around or joking or something like that when she's at her desk in the evening. I know Max at least on the surface is obsessed with sex and only sex (see shopping trip intro), but he also claims to care for them and Alice could show a more friendly side, it's time to learn a bit more about her persona, that has nothing to do with webcam shows or leather outfits.

That hits the nail.
Although I like the game concept, the game idea and also large parts of BB and this implementation, I miss the small intermediate accents in the unfortunately somewhat lush grinding.
There would be so many possibilities without having to insert many new render.
Be it when one or more girls are lying by the pool, or reading in bed, or doing the dishes, or...
It could be unimportant information about classmates, a new joke, a bit of irony about Max's appearance when he hasn't showered or slept enough, and many short texts inserted. Just to distract the player a bit from the grinding necessary in sandbox games and maybe hint at a bit of progress.

Personally, I like these games when not everything automatically falls into your lap and you have to do another extra round. But these rounds should not be mindless and uniform.
Maybe it's because of my age (pen and paper were cool in my youth), when the quality of a puzzle game (sandbox means just that to me) depended on the talkativeness and skill of the game master.
In VN-sandbox games, this role is taken over to a large extent by the quality of the pictures. But only if they are also supported by - albeit small and perhaps random - unimportant texts.


One of my few posts, but maybe one or the other game developer of a sandbox game reads it. Quite often a main story needs more progress and therefore grinding, but with random texts at recurring images this process becomes more entertaining for the player.

Your save, first day You must first order sweets and next day spy on Alice in the shower (choose the option make noise). Then at 10:00 p.m. give Alice sweets on the TV (first option) and go to the room with Alice. Alice will not only punish Max.... Then next option in Who doesn't take...Available. Read it. There is no problem.

ok thank you

 

[Agungteguh27]

You obviously haven't chosen all options because you aren't doing what the hint tells you to do, you got to progress in 'who doesn't take risks' opportunity.

damn. this game is good

 

[hawklan]

Progress is too slow and grind is too much.

 

[Agungteguh27]

Yeah, I don't come from the P&P Corner, but from digital adventures, text based and graphical.

So we have a quest log with hints about what to do next. It would be by far better for the atmosphere if that was communicated through talking with the characters instead.
Also some random talk would help to make the game less static.
Also for hundreds of days dinner and breakfast are the same. "Is something wrong?" "Shut up and eat".
This would be a good opportunity to add some talk about work, school or even saisonal events.
There are some moments in the game with some casual talk, but there sadly there are very few and only at the beginning of the game.

is there a way to unlock the gallery? i can figure out how to unlock this whole row...

 

[Nemo56]

These are scenes from the current update.
First one will unlock once you reached a certain point in the blog opportunity (and read the hint. "Wait" means "wait").
The other two are part of the Arachnophobia opportunity. I's pretty straight forward, just do what the hints tell you.
Be aware that Arachnophobia and Who doesn't take risks are interlinked, read the hints for both.

 

[mollah]

i dont really know why people play this . after all this time it shows very little content . i found this very boring and frustrating . maybe it will be worth spending time with this after one or two years

This may sound like a dumb question, but is it possible to bug up the BLOG quest by giving Lingerie to Ann?

Because so far, thats what I've done. I'm not sure what I did to make lingerie appear in the store, but I bought up, and an option came up to give it to Ann, so I did. Was that the lingerie I was supposed to give Alice? Mind you, I bought it before I saw Alice play with herself on cam. I cannot get BLOG to update. I'm stuck at "keep an eye on her through webcam". I must've seen her in her bedroom numerous times, and Ann wears the lingerie, but Alice isnt talking about her blog, bodysuit, lingerie: nothing.

 

[.Black Panther.]

I can't seem to progress in BLOG, and i still havent gotten "Taking care of your ass" opportunity yet. BLOG says I need to progress by watching the webcam, and Ive already seen her masterbate in her room after the footjob, and it suggest maybe i should rub something other than her legs. I thought that meant her pussy, so I did that with the two candies, but the BLOG quest never seems to update. What am I supposed to do if Ive completed the footjob, and fingering her?

Save file plz.

How to increase chance of doing something?

in three ways:
1) Effort and persistence in doing game events. (Read the skills section in the game guide)
2) Using save and load method
3) Using cheat mode in the game. (Read the cheat mode section in the game guide)

1) Completing the game in one of the paths.
2) Using another person persistent file . (Recommended: Lukumoide )

I checked your save file. Something is wrong with your file.
Regarding the "hidden cameras" opportunity, you should have installed second cameras in the bathroom and yard. But due to the delay, you have missed the right time.
For the "mentor" opportunity, you should first read the purchased book and then give it to Lisa, this option has not progressed due to the opportunities section, but you have actually completed the game.
Your save file needs further review. Maybe we could change it manually for you

Im curious if all these are predicated upon receiving and progressing in "Taking care of your ass" and thats why Im feeling stuck? Because I get no option to rub her thighs at the pool, and I get no option to buy her lingerie, despite having spied on her in her room after footjob, and when I pull her jeans off after the no-panty deal, she kicks me out.

You are currently unable to start this opportunity because you have not completed its prerequisites yet.
If I remember correctly, you should first progress in the blog opportunity in the same section that I specified for you in the guide. and progressing in "Blog" opportunity (giving 3 clothes to Alice)
After that, you can progress in the "talented masseuse" opportunity and get to massage of Alice's thighs. Then you will be able to unlock "Taking care of your ass" opportunity. (As I mentioned in the third photo of the guide for you in the previous post)
You are not stuck in this opportunity ,you have not provided its prerequisites yet .

You can't play this game one opportunity at a time.
You know the problem in other games that on the one hand MC bangs a girls ass and in another scene she will freak out if he sees her in underwear.
Sure, up to a certain point that's also the case here, but Aleksey puts a lot of effort trying to make the progression more consistent. Opportunities depend on each other. Arachnophobia and the couch scenes are a good example. At some point you will have to switch between them repeatedly.

And yes, the hints are not always really good, you have to experiment a bit. If it says "she needs to get familiar with me" you have to think of situations where this could be pushed.
If you think you are stuck on one opportunity, do something else instead. Don't focus on one storyline only.

Hmmm, then I am stumped, because I just simply don't seem to be getting any progress in even being ABLE to buy clothes for Alice. I've done everything up to "You need to keep an eye on her from the webcam" in the BLOG opp, but nothing seems to progress. In fact, I've even bought a robe for Lisa, and she MENTIONS that I bought a robe for Alice, even though I haven't bought her anything. Furthermore, I've actually already completed the "Talented Masseur" opp.
