Is this one any good? How much has been recycled? How much content is there already? And anything new?
it's alright so far, plays like big brother, looks like big brother, im impressed by the UI. not much content though and it has game breaking errors once u get like a week into it. I suspect these errors actually PREVENT you from seeing some of the current content.
there's some sort of energy system, which has no real effect rn but in the future i'd assume once your energy is too low, you have to nap/sleep to regain it before doing any actions.
it also notifies you when you've increased/decreased a character's mood/relationship, which is a plus.
all in all, i doubt it has been easy taking a game from unity and essentially replicating (to a great degree so far) in renpy.

It's just a tech demo, no sex yet. Otherwise, it's exactly like BB, but in renpy.

I also agree with you, but I wanted to emphasize that is more important that he focuses on making the content without open many branches that lead to nowhere or trying to get as much money as fast as posible and end up in an abandoned game, like most of starting devs do. If he makes something solid, then he will be able to add anything different stuff he/people wants and get money.
I'm kinda disappointed with the errors in code thus far considering the length of time the content for a lot of this has already been out.

When people was talking about patreon rules and things that we all know about this kind of games, he was talking like he had all figured out... so let's wait , I can't believe someone takes so much work to do a game without a clue of what he's doing.

Maybe I'm jinxing it, but this actually looks decent.

Another talented Russian developer. That's just not clear, why waste your time and effort on a remake of someone else's game? After all, everyone will associate BB with DS. It would be better if he made his own, albeit small, game. As the Russians themselves say: you can't enter the same river twice.

Большой брат: другая история v0.01.TechDemo
Mon Jan 06 23:44:45 2020Big brother is not a completed game. The dev probably is planning to continue the progress of this game in future updates. Ι don't understand why are you against this except if you don't like the game which is another story. There are many good games out there that are abandoned and an effort to revive them is always welcome even by another dev. Of course this would be true if there weren't the Patreon rules. I don't know if the dev was so naive to ignore them hoping that people will not report him but as expected his page now is under review.

victor659, the original version of "Big Brother", has a large number of remakes. Unfortunately, the quantity did not grow into quality. And although most developers just continued the game, it did not benefit from this. There was an author (DS) who had a concept (plot, story) and brought it to life. What did the new developers do? Nothing! They don't have this story, they just write a soap Opera for the game, like on TV. Alas, it is banal and boring, because there is no good story. There is simply a set of renderings with a banal description as in comics. What does the new author do? It just slightly improves the pictures, and almost using the old text. What new do I discover for myself? Nothing. I already know what will happen next. Do you review TV series? I doubt it. That's why I feel sorry for the new developer. He could make his own game, maybe not like "Big Brother", but still his own. And no one would evaluate it with the first author. A remake is a remake. He will never be the first! For a man, it's like driving someone's used car. Or how to marry a woman who had a dozen other men before you.
