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

[Nemo56]

So why don't you play the original? I don't understand people who want the same thing a second time.

One could ask the question why YOU don't play the original if you want to see Eric. He's already in that game, so why bother for a new game with same ol' Eric in it? You can even keep him as a friend if you don't care for the movie story arc.

There's already new stuff in this game, which is great. Getting rid of Eric however is what seemingly most of the players wait, so there can be more story arcs without him being involved. I am all up for new ways to get rid of him. I don't need the same thing a second time, I like the new stories, I just want him gone.

In my opinion, it is Eric who makes the game interesting, Eric and Max are a conflict of interests. We remove the conflict - we get a predictable, non-alternative, uninteresting story. Without Eric, the game will be the same as the original.

He could get involved in a new conflict,

As conceived in the original,

There's a bigger plot behind his father.

Where does this information come from? Is this implemented in any of the versions of the game? This is the first time I've heard about it from you, but it would be very interesting...

The original had Eric in it. And the game plots ARE already different, so no ... with or without Eric it's a different game.

I can respect that you want that conflict, ok. Still ... you asked someone who wanted him gone, why he would not play the original instead. It remains unanswered why you don't do that. Eric has a much larger role in that game already, the conflict between Max and Eric is more elaborated there.

Anyway, according to some posts here, there WILL be a option to get rid of Eric, but of course you don't have to. So everyone gets what he wants and no one needs to be told to play the original instead, for whatever reason.

About the father plot ... that would make sense, we already have the premisse that he planted a cam in the house. But no, so far I didn't read anything about that.

What I didn't like was knowing that Eric and Ann were educating Lisa without me being able to see what was going on, didn't you have that thrill of frustration? With this version I see what happens with the family

Yeah, your right, the dev has never said anything about the father. I'm on his patreon, discord, and communicate by PM.
It's well known that I don't like Eric, and there will be a way to get rid of him in 0.07. But it may be best to wait until later to do it. As for keeping Eric in the game permanently, I don't think that will be possible. The dev has never said one way other. We do know however that there will be family porn movies. And the dev has said that friendship with Eric will end badly for Max or Eric. A bad ending for Max = game over.

Don't be naive, Eric is only in the game to prolong Max's involvement with the girls. The longer it takes and the more spicy scenes, the more the game is enjoyable when it comes to pleasure.
Nothing more, nothing less!

Want to make a game where you turn people upside down?
More and more spicy scenes, when you get there let it hit the beam. Give him something even spicier, let someone else do the drama behind it, and then take it all away from him. And when all seems to be lost give it to him again!

Eric is only there for that + saucy scenes, more horny for things you don't have, and more attempts to get it for yourself!

And when more time and more spicy scenes more horny for things, but tries and tries to get everything for you!

Now the game's producer needs to fit these saucy scenes and directions that people want.

1- I want Eric
2- I want Eric out.
3- I want Eric as a slave
4- I want to blackmail everyone.

There are so many ways to make things happen in a way that has a lot of spicy and horny scenes at the same time!

Naive, your delusional, do you think your the dev, are something. I get my info from the real dev. Aleksey90 is making this game, his way, not yours.

You got me wrong, I'm not saying that the developer has to do it the way I mentioned, but I wanted to explain why Eric is in the game. Just to prolong Max's development with the girls, and give more and more spicy scenes. So that the game is fun when you've got it all for yourself!
Do not mix things up and pay attention to what is written!

Oh ok, I see, so you know more about why Eric's in the game, than the Dev. Yeah that's not delusional at all.

I certainly can not do the development of Eric in the direction of Alice and Lisa (and I would not do it with joy), but this will mean that the player and Max, with any of his actions, will have nothing to lose and nothing to worry about, which is not right. Max's actions or omissions must have consequences, so Eric's development towards Alice and Lisa, as well as towards Ann and Kira, will be whatever you allow him to be.

 

[Nemo56]

... and so little time to actually implement it. This is not a big production company. If you want all these options, you might not have to wait for months, but for years to the next major update.

Maxbishop Thanks for the reminder. I DID read about the bad friendship ending, I just completely forgot about it.

You could actually use the hidden cameras to see. That will also unlock memories in the extra-Section (for the extra-version of the game)

So... october 0.7 january 0.7.1 my guess.

The second half of September, if the translation and testing do not delay us too much.

 

[Seraphi23]

A game without antagonist is boring, it's as simple as that. Imagine Lord of the Rings without Sauron. Or Mario with the castle & princess just a screen away from starting the level. Or anything Marvel without all of the supervillains, what would heroes even be doing in that case? Doesn't mean that Eric must stay, since defeating him is half of the fun. But frankly original game became boring quick after Eric was gone. Thus I hope Max will get some new challenges and enemies after Eric.

i already knows for the hidden camera and use it, thanks
The thing I wanted to highlight is the fact that with the other versions of this game, we do NOT see what was happening in Ann's room

I was going to waste my time answering maxbishup, but apparently he didn't understand anything I was trying to convey. And even in the 2 messages he replied to me, he put phrases that I didn't even mention!

And yes friend Nemo56 you are absolutely right, it is no accident that I gave 5 stars to this game. For the simple fact that you can see what's happening on camera. It was already a huge step forward, something that everyone would love to witness. Even dying of jealousy hahaha

I see. I misunderstood that then.

Seraphi23 Right now I am trying really really hard NOT to compare Big Brother to Lord of the Rings

Alright.... since the discussion seems to be turning towards (EVIL Scum) Eric again I will throw out some thoughts (then go scrub my brain with Bleach and a wire brush). Again I'll use Spoilers because this is going to be LONG.

Spoiler: Views on the Original version

Now that I have given a brief description of my thought on the original we will move on to THIS version.

Spoiler: Evil Scum Eric in 'Another Story' :)

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

At this point I feel that Aleksey90 has taken the original idea and GREATLY improved it. For now I accept that (EVIL Scum) Eric is a part of this game, but look forward to him slipping on a Banana peel while crossing the road and being removed by a car. I like that I can avoid almost all of the parts I do not enjoy, while other people can enjoy content they like (that I do NOT).

I hope this wasn't to confusing or rambling. I hope that we can agree that this (while developing a bit slower) is a good game.

Just a thought.
