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

[Nemo56]

Has anyone else come across an issue where the Eric wallet even keeps triggering every week? I've completed it a dozen times nd I'm hoping there's a fix short of restarting the game.

If this is has been covered I couldn't find it

I thnk you are the first one reporting this bug. Best would be, if you post your savegame, so those who have more insight can check it for you.

You can get rid of Eric again and again and again and again and again and again and ...

Also tag .Black Panther. when you upload your save.

That's more scary than funny.

Well, we always knew there was something seriously wrong with him, now we have proof!

But the signs were there already. Remember when he wouls not stop to show his face in certain rooms after he got thrown out. But when we got there to check, he was gone. Just like a ghost.

Re: playing Windows RenPy games on MacOS - while it may work under Wine, I believe there is an easier way. I use Wine for other things but have never tried it for a RenPy game for this simple reason: You can play them using the RenPy SDK. For proper compatibility, I recommend using the same version of the SDK indicated in the game/script_version.txt file (for BBAS this is 7.4.11.) or any version with the same major/minor combination (versions are in major.minor.patch form) that is at least the same or above (so if 7.4.12 existed I'd feel comfortable using it with this game, but I would not use 7.4.10 or below, or 7.5.0 and higher.) Avoiding lower is because required features may not exist. Avoiding higher is mostly because saves might not be compatible if you later play a Mac build created with 7.4.11.

You can download the SDK version you need here:

I've been doing this for a couple of years with no problems. It has a some advantages: no need for Wine - which can be tricky on some later releases of MacOS - and (on MacOS) your saves will be stored both in the game folder and the usual central RenPy save location (so will be available if you later play a downloaded Mac build, and won't disappear if you delete the game.) You can even build a Mac (or Linux) version with the SDK, if you prefer - I used to do this, but now often just play using the SDK.

This should also work on Linux but I have no experience there. However, I am led to believe the game might run as is on Linux, since the Windows version comes with both an exe (Windows) and sh (Linux shell) file in the root, and I'd try that and RenPy SDK before Wine (unless you're already using Wine on Linux and fully comfortable with it.)

I've finished all in 9.1.05 except that "What should we watch, Mom?" and "Blog" opportunities still state in progress.
The hint for Mom states "It remains to be seen if my mothers reaction to my boner has changed. Better to be shirtless..." I've massaged her three times.
The hint for Blog states that progress in Mentor must be made, but that is completed.

The problem for Mac users is that the compatible version with the Mac operating system has not been leaked yet. The version that existed has been removed from the torrent file for an unknown reason. they need to use an alternative. Some other games (limited number) either do not have a Mac version or, like this game, the Mac version of the game is not leaked. So, the alternative or that is to use the updated versions for the rest of the operating systems.

Max is shirtless. If I pick the top choices and succeed Ann doesn't notice or say anything about Max's boner. Does this imply that I should fail or pick a different option?

A 1000 page topic for a remake of a years old abandoned game, that is just as, if not more, grindier then the failed original game. This is what succes looks like these days, what a fucking joke.

Check that you have installed the latest bug fix. Save the game before talking to Ann in front of the TV and repeat this several times until Ann finally be notice of it .
If you do not succeed after many repetitions, send the save file here to check . Most of the players have finished this opportunity without problems. If you can't, it means either you didn't try hard enough or one of the variables in your game has a problem.

I don't like the gameplay of BBAS : I find it frustrating and repetitive. However, the renders are really neat and beautiful. As I have already said and I shall say it again: Aleksey is very talented at this level. I say this entirely without irony.

Fortunately, .Black Panther. and Lukumoide generously offer their saves so I can fully enjoy the memories. Many thanks.

BTW, my hint is different than the one you showed.

My save attached.
Thanks,

As I said, you didn't try as should as you do. These photos were taken using the continuation of your save file. And as you can see, the opportunity is over. Also, this save file is attached to the continuation of your file so that you can experience and see it yourself.

Spoiler: Pic

Regarding the "blog" opportunity, I need to check your save file more.

IMO, the success chances for this scene are ridiculous without save scumming. In my game my massage success chance is less than 20% and you have to succeed twice in a row so that's a 4% chance there, and then there's a final check after that which is closer to 50% for me, so roughly 2% chance of success for the full scene. That means on average I would have to do that scene 50 times to have a decent chance of succeeding, and you have to succeed 3 times if I remember right.

No, it must be done 3 times successfully, and after that, you must progress in the "Control" or "Family Head" opportunity. After this, Ann must notice Max boner only once.
