Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.07.01] [Aleksey90]

[Bathyscaphe]

Wow, The demo should be free as a proof of concept to get patrions on board and the cost way lower. At at $21 a month, I expect way more than just a single day. That is way higher than any of my streaming subscriptions...

It took that long to rebuild the game and cut out one day as beta demo.

it is not clear why it is impossible to release "rebuild the game" and not "cut out one day as beta demo" without cutting?

next time it's Day 2?

Of course I don't know the reasons but it might be the same reason why I also locked functionalitites in the new tool I gave to the technicians to play with. If there is a problem in the concept, it would be bad to invest a lot of work and then have to change everything again. Also if there's too much to play with, it's easier to miss errors.

We don't know why, I was just answering "all this work/time for ond day" which was wrong. We have already seen a preview from a different day.


Btw, if next time it is day 2 then it is just like that. Complaining won't change it.
Of course, if you are a subscriber that for months ignored everything that was published and said thereby not knowing what he payed for, then this might come a shock to you and the money you spent.
But for all others ... Don't like it? Stop broothing and play something else. There's more fish in the sea.

 

[2dark2]

Just I rather think he did only 1 day than cut 1 out of rebuild game

 

[platypushperry]

Is the rebuild version available on this site?

 

[Bathyscaphe]

Not right now that i can find.

 

[weibbbb]

can someone share newest update here

On the plus side the new interface looks great and the ladies are looking lovely you'll lose points as there's no Kira ... yet and with changing the conversation choices Max loses some agency however can't accidently kill any future threads on day 1 (I hope).

Hoping we scoot forwards to Kira joining in the next build as the week 1 days after the intro day are usually less intense (if you want to make them less chill and with more to do I think most people would applaud that (even the ones that gripe about the update rate will relish new content when it arrives ) so far so good

damn man, restarting all over again? that's horrible news. I get it that the game is repetitive, and it can be very frustrating for new players, but as a old player going all the way back to the start is pretty annoying

This is already a enormous step up from the original, even what's repetitive is more interesting since there are different poses for scenes, different outfits. I can see why this would be a priority, it can get annoying all the steps you must do to get some scenes, but now after doing all that having to throw all that in the garbage to wait god knows how long to get back where we were before

We will never see Lisa lose her virginity are we?

you think you've got issues I've been hoping for a scene with Lisa, Kira (optionally Max as well) and Olivia for years I'm not even sure it's on anyone elses horizon

I actually thought his existing scenes with Olivia showed a lot of promise, and I'm happy not to have to deal with Alex. I would love to see Kira take up more of the corruption mantle though and not leave it all to Max. I want Anne to catch Max doing things with Kira. Frequently. I also would love to see some sister on sister action between Anne and Kira that could eventually evolve to include Max doing more than just watch. I may be confusing some of the Olivia content with Glamour. It's been awhile.

I'd really like to see the Friday night "girls night out" between Kira and Alice expanded on personally. With some alcohol to loosen those inhibitions, it would absolutely be plausible for some FFM action with Max, Kira, and Alice on Friday nights even if Alice claims amnesia the next day.

I think it makes more sense for Lisa's path to focus on Olivia personally, but wouldn't mind some sex ed stuff with Anne and/or Kira as long as it doesn't get ridiculous like it does in Glamour.

in Original Big Brother Kira was Maxs way into the world of the Women, I always felt it was about proving to Ann that she wasn't the black sheep and Ann would have been the same or worse in her place. Max was her catspaw to that so she could attack Ann on two sides and of course use the films as an excuse to make them put thier morals on time out.

Glamour the key relationship seems to be with Lisa Act 1 Alice for Act 2 and Kate for act 3 so far which really just messes up the dynamic

 

[khumak]

To me, Ann's storyline is the weakest. Personally I think it would make sense for her to get fired from her job and have Kira propose she take up modeling. To save money Max could offer to be the photographer. This would give a somewhat plausible excuse for Ann to be stripping down in front of her son on a regular basis.

It wouldn't be much of a stretch from there for Kira to say they want pictures of both Ann and Kira. This could eventually lead to porn, but personally I think it would make more sense to focus on something tamer like modelling and let Ann and Kira lez out on each other for awhile before things ramp up to include Max doing more than watch and/or take pictures.

I guess plausibility isn't really that much of a focus for this version, but to me the more plausible it is the easier it is to get into the story. If there's no justification or it just seems ridiculous it really takes away from it for me personally. That's why I can't stand Glamour. There's really no justification for how things escalate in that game. Basically Max asks his little sister to be his girlfriend and she says ok but I'm not sure what to do so maybe I should have mom to show us. Mom agrees immediately and even goes so far as to demand that Lisa fuck him right in front of her. Unless Max has mind control that is absolutely ludicrous.

Absolutly agree on that. It should start with Kira finding out by chance and peeking on Max and Alice on what they're doing in the bathroom.
Kira's reaction should be of surprised at first, even shocked. Not something like "oh, it was expected" or some bullshit like that. No, it isn't expected siblings to fool around even if drunk, come on.
Later then things could lead to those FFM action.

As for the sex ed stuff, i really hope it isn't included. In all iterations, remakes and fangames these scenes always felt forced, stupid and a cheap way to access Ann in a sexual way.

I do like your idea of the modeling though. That should be the way.

I would not get my hopes up. The whole Lisa story always has been about education. I find it quite stupid, but there's people who like to teach sweet little innocent girls.
BIBO has always been about three aspects really: Punishment, getting caught (with optional punishment) and sex education.
But even if it still is based on punishment, the progress with Alice felt a lot more natural than in the older games.
Alexey might surprise us, who knows?

About Kira ... since she has her own experience with Ann and knows how Max is hung, she really might have expected that.

 

[Shiva0067]

Ann/Mom is a difficult issue. Part of the difficulty involves what the story will include. If the Movie path in the original is included my personal feeling is that she should become the manager for the rest of the family (though I would prefer Lisa to just be a model NOT do films). Yes, later Ann/Mom MIGHT get in front of the camera, but with Max, Alice, and Kira all involved she does NOT need to do that.

If the 'Movie' path is NOT to be a part of the story I'm unsure of what might be a good replacement. Modeling for Ann/Mom and the other ladies is a good option (the 'Blog' path would provide a possible reason for this).

As for Kira's involvement in the 'Corruption' of the others I don't mind if she helps, but she should NOT become the primary reason/force for it like the original. Max is the MC and should remain the focus of the game and primary actor in the different paths. Yes, Kira can be a good source of help, but she should NOT take over. I would say that her best use in Corrupting others would be with Ann/Mom.

For the 'Sex-Ed' path I think that it would be best to change it to Lisa experimenting with Max and Olivia. I think this would feel more natural with the characters we know so far.

So far this version of the game HAS been very good, and things have moved along quite nicely. I look forward to seeing what happens, and if the care already shown in creating and expanding the story continues, I feel we will get a better overall experience.

Just some thoughts.

 

[Firecracker001]

I get stuck in the game. The story doesn't go on. Is it wrong to play in German? is there maybe an error? or am I just too stupid to find the way... I fight with Eric for Alice. At first I always held my influence above Eric's. Didn't work. Then I dropped Alice. Doesn't work either... if someone can look, I'd be happy. The save on mega

No, the language doesn't make a difference.
The influence only effects the probability of succeeding with persuasion skill.
You beat Eric by framing him with two photographs or by getting Lisa's help, but that only works once the according event starts. Check the walkthrough.
Don't focus on one girl or opportunity, go on with all opportunity, they often depend on each other.
