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

[Krugger]

So I'm curious, how is this in comparison to the original? I haven't played but reading through the changelog Eric seems as much of a pain in this than as the original, although apparently the most recent version allows the player to "deal" with him. So, how is it?

I still prefer to play the original version, although the original has a lot of grind. But first, let me explain for you to understand, because I will try to be straight to the point. Big Brother Another Story still doesn't have more content than the original as many think, there is still much, let's say Another Story has more Kira content than the original, but Alice, Lisa does not. The original had the history of Eric discontinued, since in this we do not know if it will also follow the same, because until now I have not seen any news about the content update of this character.
The gameplay of the original is a tiring grind, but at least things are going. In this Another Story, it's a boring grind, do Lisa's homework X times, do X times this, do X times that. OMFG I gave up playing because of that. The renderings, I thought the original better, but remember that this is just a taste, each one has its own. Just like the scenes from the original I thought it was better. In the original game, there are no SFX sounds, such as sexy moans, as well as there are no animations. Another Story you will find only one or two animations, without SFX sounds like sexy moans or something like that. Normal.

I will determine by % (example, just an assumption) the sex content that the original has:
Ann 40%
Kira 15%
Alice 65%
Lisa 35%
Olivia 10%
Karen 15%
Diane (Olivia's Mother) 0%
Vicky 0%
Doctor (0 or 1% - I do not remember)

As you can see, it’s little content, but I’m talking about the sex scene, because the game has a lot of voyeurism. If you are interested in playing the original, I would not recommend it. The gameplay will take hours, the game is fun but sometimes tiring. There is no bad grind like another story, of doing X things. Well, I don’t remember much, I know you need to help Lisa with her homework for example 7 times, and you also need to do it X times (very little), so that Lisa misses her homework and gets spanked up by Ann so she can "trust" you. As also happens with Alice, but the grind present in this game is due to RNG. Unfortunately the original is very incomplete, I say this because there will be scenes that you will think that there will be something more but you don't have (I had wasted a lot of time the first time I played). So, I recommend downloading the CG RIP of the original. If you have free time and want to try playing the original, go ahead. I like the original, unfortunately it is an incomplete game, and more incomplete for being abandoned.

I've already played the original years ago. Pretty sure I've seen all the content the original has as well. Based on what you and others have said it seems like this version focuses heavily on Kira, which is cool, but doesn't have much content elsewhere. I don't really mind a ren'py game with grind, if it's too bad I'll just cheat *shrugs* but I mainly was curious about how much... lets not call it faith, lets say stock, how much stock do people put in this dev actually finishing this game. This seems to be the longest lasting clone, do people expect it to grow into its own or just die like a good 90% of these games.

I can play, thank you, I succeeded in using the second method

Understood correctly, did you install the hotfix and the game started? Right?

The point is not to cheat, but gameplay. For example, massage Alice, you have to do X times and she needs to be in a high mood, just like Kira and Lisa. I just gave up, if only there was a progression, like, every time you do an action, Max comments something, it would be more meaningful and I would know that I'm reaching the scene, but unfortunately it is not so. So, imagine wasting your time grinding this, besides the hints don't help much, as there should be a count of how many times you need to do the action for the story to proceed. I hope things change, but for now, I’m avoiding it.

On a porn games site? That's a new level.

Don’t Worry, Be Happy!
This site does an important job of allowing perverts to "blow off steam"!
And do not, under any circumstances, type Independence Day, Canada Day, etc. into the site's search box.

I know the original - and also most of the "clones" ...
So I also know EXACTLY what I'm talking about here ...
But when I look at "Glamour" -- DS does everything exactly the same again -- Grind Grind Grind ...

Here is just another Interpretatiopn of the game - let the creative spirit but first unfold.
Constantly I read here how impatient people are - and everything screams for quick updates and much more content. This costs time -- a lot of time ...
I think most of the abandoned games here are exactly due to this circumstance.
It's also always easy to compare a work of 2 or more years with a new project and then make the "new" one bad, just because there's not soooo much content in it like in the "original", which had a development of XX ....
Let the team first work in peace - this is done here for fun - so should be the ratings -- and to all those who Rumhaten here -- if you do not like it -- make a better game yourself!!!!
no one here forces you ...

PS: I have nothing against constructive criticism -- only most here confuse that with childish whining!!!

 

[Alreader]

I liked this version more than the original. I also played in Big_Brother_Mod_Smirniy_v. 0. 21. 0. 017. although there is a lot of content. but there are also a lot of trigger errors. In Big Brother: Another Story V 0.06.0.07, I played for several days, and passed the game 2 times without any problems. (Eric is a friend and Eric is an enemy) now I'm waiting for the next update..

 

[Juninpachi]

Wow, delayed on the expected day of release? That's dumb PR right there.

Good things come to those who wait.

Remember when the release date was Mid-april?

Good times...

But I wasn't talking about Glamour, I was talking about the abandoned game. Whoever keeps playing that, is nothing but a widow from BigBrother. And in reality, I didn't understand the way you talked about constructive criticism and childish whining, I just said the real thing, this game for farther it is progressing, it failed in the gameplay for me, if I am tired and avoiding games that contain a boring grind, why would I waste my time on that? I was playing in a certain version, it came to the part where I would have to grind, and then I got stuck in that, so I gave up. Talking about creativity, honestly I didn't see anything surprising, in fact, I had already said that the game was a clone only with improved intuition. Some things did look great, like different scenes and angles, but also other unnecessary things.

Since you brought it up, due to your dissatisfaction from people who are impatient, I followed this work since the time the developer was making renderings that for me he did much the same or even superior to and when he took the abandoned darksilver project and started to introduce it into the game. And I still add, the little work time he did on Unity is better than many out-of-sync mods, by the way... everyone knows it costs time, but then, when you have developers like ICSTOR, people already lose a little bit of confidence, and many developers out there tarnish the image of other developers, I'm not saying that the developer of Another Story is bad or something, you're just confusing things, because what I said above was just my point of view, because I saw people saying that this game had more content than the game original, something I disagreed with.
Anyway, I hope this game improves in gameplay, because this boring grind is not for me. As for making a better game, if everyone knew how to make a game, make renderings, everyone would create their own. But anyone can learn, just assemble a team and work. But I'm not here to belittle the game, just a criticism. It's the same thing when we criticize the FIFA game every year for being the same thing, imagine EA saying to everyone, ''do it better!"

This game has hardly animations but a 3 month update cycle. That's unfortunate but oh well.

I honestly don't understand the point of this games existence. Not only does the story start from the very beginning, but so far it has played out literally exactly like the original one did. And on top of that, it feels almost just as much of a grind as the original too, which was by far the worst part about it. I understand that the dev intends to keep the story mostly the same until we reach where the original one ended (which at this rate will take about 2 years), but since he's apparently re-rendering everything from scratch as is, why not use the opportunity to take the narrative in a completely different direction, and you know, actually give us, the players, "another story". Because right now his talent at replicating, and even improving upon the visuals of the original, is really being wasted on this boring, grindy rehash. What a bummer...

Beauty of free market is that if you like it you can support it and play it, if you do not like it nobody is forcing you to play or support it.

On paper (or on screen) is correct. In real life, you like/dislike a game AFTER you supported and played it. If you don't like it, it's a waste of money and time. And here comes the beauty of pirate sites...

Not really. Game is not a finished product and you know that when supporting it. It can always go in the direction you do not like. Since you started to support it you liked it. If it goes in direction you do not like, you stop supporting it and stop playing, or you actually still like the game and just do not want to support creator, if you really do not have money i can understand, people can have difficult times, but otherwise you are just being selfish and ultimately self defeating, because if not enough people support creator he will just stop and everyone loses - you don't have continuation of game you like, he does not have money.

I don't question the point of this game's existence, but I do understand your wish for it to be more of an "another story", not "same, same, but a bit different." I would argue that the game so far is still in the intro phase, and you can't do that much different stuff if you do want to introduce Kira and Eric and keep the family characters overall intact. But now would be a good time to push further away from the original plot to make things interesting. What I understand is that changes are imminent (like a massage studio) let's hope that it becomes a big part.

The Dev clearly has talent, and he should be brave now to push away towards new storylines. Let's pray.
