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

[Nemo56]

Isn't PGN's BB Ren'Py remake more NTR-heavy than BBAS? I haven't played it in a while but it focuses a lot more on the 'friendship' route. So it's basically just Eric cucking Max by threatening him with the military camp but also throwing him a bone every now and then.
The friendship path is a lot more fleshed out in that game and has a lot more scenes. There's way less content if you just get rid of Eric but they might update that in the future.

It includes fan art with Eric content.

Friendship and fake friendship don't contain any ntr, since Eric isn't taking anyone from Max, they share.

I can be corrected because I don't know what's on the friends paths but the shear volume of content does not have Eric in it. Once again I can be corrected but to me he's only there 3 times a week and only between 8-6. On the hostility path Eric is barely a blip now.

I guess that's one way of looking at it. I meant that it's NTR in the sense that it's on his terms. It's him throwing you a bone every now and then to keep you in line. But yeah I guess you're right. It's not really NTR in the traditional sense.

Yeah I usually only play the hostility path in these games and yeah there was barely any content at all after you get rid of Eric. But I guess it's a full port to Ren'Py so it's probably going to take a while.

And I played the friendship path off someone else's save and there was a lot of Eric but that's obviously more towards the end so I can't speak on the entire game.

Depends on your playthrough. If you want you can check my signature to varify. I think I got rid of Eric around save 10 or 12 and still about half the current content to go.

Aren't the saves in your signature for BBAS though? I was talking about the Renpy remake.

My bad

So it's possible to get rid of Eric in the remake too? I didn't t know that.

Yeah it is but there's not much content after you get rid of him. I'm guessing PGN will add more for that oath but for now they've just been focusing on the friendship route.

Cool, I say I'd give it a try but I'm good. Actually reducing my amount of active games. Down to 15 from 30+. BB_AS is definitely in the actives and Power Vacuum. Trying to bring it down to 10 actives but...... The finally cut is proving hard

I checked that out and it wasn't really different. The remake follows the storyline of the original mostly, so also there most of the content does not involve Eric at all, no matter the path or if he got thrown out already or not.

From what I get the remake is basically a copy and paste put together from multiple sources.

I mean, that's something you'd expect from a remake. But they're trying to expand that story and so far they've only done the friendship path so the newer content mostly involves Eric. But majority of the game obviously doesn't.

Yeah I get that. As far as BB is concerned, I give most games a go but I've mostly just stuck with Glamour and AS. I don't like the renders in most of them. The lighting, the skintones or the faces always look off. AS probably has the closest models I've seen to the original.

That sums it up. They made a few minor changes to the handling, but it's mostly just like the original - which is not a bad thing, one just needs to be aware what he gets.
I think that - apart from the Eric story arc - they included the Smirniy mod, that was the biggest mod for the game back in the days and was a collection of several other mods (shopping weekend, Alice's new job, fuck-everyone-im-her-room), brought a bunch of new sex scenes but even more story inconsistencies.

The lighting, the skintones or the faces always look off. AS probably has the closest models I've seen to the original.

That's because most of them include a lot of fan art. The first fanart models also looked different than later ones. Another indicator is if you find pics of Alice where she has almost white hair since that artist couldn't get the lighting right.

BBAS uses different lighting, much softer. At some point there was a poll which style supporters prefer and this one was the winner.
Check Lisa in the bathroom however, that's one of the earlier shots, when Aleksey90 tried to match the original's tone.
Since Aleksey90 wants to update all the old renders, better make some screenshots now for historical reasons.

Edit: fixed typos

I envy you. I currently have about 70 non adult games installed (not counting game consoles), and about 30 adult ones, but most of them are just relics.

Okay I just looked up the Lisa bathroom render and yeah it does look kinda off. Never really noticed it to be fair. I can see what Aleksey was going for with that one but his other renders look much better, in my opinion.

My Xiaomi 9s could handle the extra games but I switched to a Samsung (freebie and temporary) so coming down to 10 - 15 I believe will keep my system stable. My goal is to invest in an Asus Rog eventually.. Maybe a 3 or 4.
