Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.08.02] [Aleksey90]

[Mostly74]

I have actually(and finally, Unfortunately) finished this version of the game. Thanks everyone for all the help. In my opinion, it's a great game, sometimes frustrating, as are all games lol. I am really excited to see what's next and looking forward to the next update. Thanks!

On a side note I would love to learn how to make a really great game like this and others. Does anyone know what I would need to start a decent graphic game, and how much money I would need to get it done?

Start with the design, forget the graphics at the beginning, in case of a adventure like game, get started with a puzzle tree, which objects are needed when and how to get them, how to avoid dead ends (and of course first have a rough plot for a story, what the game should be about).
But if you want to focus on graphics and learn how to render, make a Visual Novel instead. For that get started by grabbing a free version of DAZ.

If you want to know about the funds ... look at Kickstarter. The people there usually are not completely wrong about how much they need. So check out a few games which resemble what your goal is and see how much they want to raise for development.
If you have a Job already and want do create a game in your spare time without additional employees, you won't need any money

Everything Nemo56 said
Plus my two cents
1) First things first write a complete story
2) Learn the basics of screen writing
3) Learn the basics of the engine you want to use Ren'py, rpg maker, etc...
4l Decide on what format your going to for your assets. If your artistically inclined 2d is cheaper but takes longer to produce depending on how good you want the art to look. 3d you can download assets it's faster but you needed heavy duty equipment for rendering. If your really good drawing your own 3d art is faster and cheaper.
5) Make contact with devs that are doing work similar to yours. That will save you a lot of time on making beginners errors. There are a lot of devs that really jump in to help new devs.
6) whether your doing it for fun or profit form a crew consisting of (most importantly) a proof reader. Maybe a fellow coder and one or two testers. Maybe a translator (optional)
7) My advice start with a Kinetic Visual Novel to get your feet wet. Then move on to stories with branches.
8) Personally if I was a dev I'd never come on this site but I'd get someone to manage a thread here and filter out what I need. I've seen more than a few devs cave and abandon projects after being here. Some I still talk too and it's always the same the negativity here can become toxic at times.

May have missed a few points but those are my basics
Edit: Most important, time management in every aspect and process in the development of a VN is critical. Be it hobby or Professional.

A word about Eric.
In the past I've said that Eric isn't long for this game. Well, I'll admit that I was wrong. It's true that if you look at the entire game, Eric is only a small part of it. But if you like Eric + sharing, and you're on the friendship path, then you have a lot of content left to go. Maybe 5-8 more updates or so, with a lot of Eric. As for NTR, I was unable to get very much about that, just a lot about sharing. But just because I didn't find out much about it dose not mean that it will not be in the game. One thing is true, at some point (In friendship path.) Eric will turn on you, (MC) and force you to make a discission, lose the game, or get rid of Eric. So, if you like Eric, stay and enjoy the game, you've got a lot of content to go.

Makes sense, otherwise its a complete re-make with far fewer changes from the original game but 2-3years behind in development.

[Indra_83]

No need. Just check the savegames post linked on page 1. Therer are saves for every path.

Check page 1 (edit: The memories are stored in the persistent file, not in savegames)

Once Max realises that he doesn't have enough money to buy the first set of clothing, the bank will unlock on the laptop. Your website might have to be up and running already.

You can access the cams through your website.

You can find a full walkthrough on page 1.

Yes, Your website MUST be up and running otherwise it will not let you take a loan because you have no income.

First of all, it is a remake - not a remaster, but a remake. Remakes have the same premisse, but don't stick to the original content/plot.

Left Eric aside, there's a lot of changes already, especially when it comes to Lisa and Alice.
Even if you ignore all the options that have been added to the events, there are also some new events and opportunities that have not been in the original game.

I would also have been cool with him not being in the game at all. Also that would be quite a change, wouldn't it?

Thanks for confirming it.
I honestly never saw any reason to try to play the game without the website After all it's called Big Brother and pushes you very hard into using the web cams. Getting the site ready is always priority 1, everything else can wait.

I'll agree on that point, to be a Big Brother reboot, remake or remaster for me the only static point must be Max, Ann, Alice and Lisa in a state where he has to protect them while corrupting. I'll add for me a complete overhaul of everything else house, protagonist or NPC's can still result in a game still identifiable as Big Brother. That's just my opinion.

I think you might want to edit the links, they lead to a picture called "Download_link.png"

Not sure, maybe to needs a file association. That program will automatically open it and you can save it from that program. Sorry I don't have much experience with Firefox myself

I think your browser has a problem (Firefox) Because it's perfectly normal for me and it works.
