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

[Badboy702019]

You are on the fake friendship path . This opportunity will not be completed in this version of the game in the path of fake friendship. Wait for the next update . Wait for the next update

Thank you. Finally, I get the answer I needed. I have asked this other times and was told YES this could be accomplished in this version from other persons. I have been playing for days that I could have been playing my other games. Thank you again so much for informing me of this. I am going to delete this game and all saves and start over. I do not like the fact I am at 550 days in the save section.

Again , Thank you both for your help to others.
I have a question. What questions do you find appropriate to put in the FAQ?

I don't know if you want it in FAQ or separate but the guide to early money that you, I, and others have posted in the past might help people.. Also, might be good to remind people that MAX is the MC and that no matter the path someone follows Eric WILL have to be removed at some point.

Just a thought

P.S. Oh, it also would be nice to know how much Chocolate Chip Cookie Content there will be

That's actually a difficult question
Most of the repeating questions come from people who don't bother reading

I must confess, that I didn't read the FAQ completely myself, so some of what I say now might already be in it

There is not much one can't find out, if pays attention to what's written on the screen (like changes in spirit caused by certain actions).

Most of what I can think of is actually something that should be put into the game rather than in a FAQ, some also in the walkthrough.

Shiva0067 is right, the main concern for a lot of new players is money.
When they have problems to get the funds for the clothes or spent eveything on cigarettes instead of getting the website running, they start to panic. Someone said he restarted the game multiple times before he gave up.
They have a problem to understand that Max is supposed to have no money and that it's ok to not get everything at once.
This aspect should be made more clear in game.

Another point might be how to increase influence and mood with little work. Over time some new ways open, not all are aware of that. Sure, peeking on Lisa is fun, but her mood gets up if we don't even try and/or wait outside. A list of days/times when it is possible to (not) watch her change, might help.
Some don't understand how important influence and mood are in the first place. The RNG in the game can be a little bit annoying if one hates daily chores.

Also some don't get what opportunities are in general, that those are not separated story arcs/quests.

From a technical point of view
Where do savegames go
Where do the incest mod or other mods go (not that there are many, but still)

Most other current questions have to do with the current release chaos that happened when the enemy path got a update before the other paths: What's possible on war path/friendship path. For the extra version: Why some memories are locked, why it's not possible to proceed on XYZ. The hints are not always consistent. "You reached the end of the current xyz" does not always show if you are on the wrong Eric path. But there is not much you can do about that.
(And boy will some people be disappointed when after 0.9 there will be version 0.10)

I don't know how this can be integrated in a FAQ, these are just some thoughts.

ps: Don't forget the most important FAQ entry
Q: WHEN MOM SEX!
A: sod off

 

[Nemo56]

question would be, do you think that Eric fucked max's sisters?.

Boy I hope not.
Not just that I don't like the character at all, I am also afraid of his fans. I have seen the fan art created for Eric, many see him as being abusive and brutal. I don't think Alexey will go that way at all and that will get them riled up.

I came to the conclusion that the FAQ could have two parts.
1) Questions that have short answers and do not change much over time. These questions are in this section. And are answered

2)Questions that need a more comprehensive answer and have already been answered in this thread. These questions are placed in this section and the postal link with the complete answer is placed in it.
So I think a lot of questions will be answered all at once.

For example, in a post, Shiva0067 fully explained how to maximize the revenue from hidden cameras at the beginning of the game. This post will definitely be included in the FAQ post as an answer to this question.

This part of your post is incorrect. Please change it in your post or delete it.
Throughout the game, Max can ask Ann for money. In fact, this improves Max's persuasion skills.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I was unsure about it. In the original I remembered that there was a mood penalty (probably wrong about that).

As I said that post has been altered to remove #6. If you need me to do anything else just ask (and have some Chocolate Chip Cookies ready as payment).

Just a thought

In the original BB it definitely gave a negative

Sorry, now checking the forum for the day. I'll think about it

 

[dwalsh]

I must confess, that I didn't read the FAQ

Guilty myself

 

[goldporn]

Plz send your last save file . we will check it for you .

I've attached the save file.
There is no progress in Talented Masseur opportunity
Thank you ...

 

[dwalsh]

.Black Panther. I think I agree with Nemo56 with the in game hints. Concerning the money issue this game does not have an easy and normal mode (maybe that's an idea to pitch to Aleksey). Easy mode starts off with enough money to cover the initial events. Normal starts regularly. Or, I can't remember the event clearly but a more blatant message could be inserted telling Max to check the computer to get the money. For me figuring out the best route to get the money in time was frustrating but fulfilling in the end. I'll take a few minutes to check the FAQ now.

Just starting the game, and I wanna make sure before I spend a stupid amount of time savescumming/scrolling: is the 18% peek chance at the beginning actually 18% or is it just a lyin'-ass 0%? And if it is 0%, is it necessary to fail several times to raise it?

 

[AnimeHentaiGamer]

this game won't survive without eric. know why? the others didn't.

 

[AnimeHentaiGamer]

dev needs to keep real friendship with eric path.

My suggestion is to savescum.. Yes, it is a low chance, but it WILL get better. If you want, I THINK that there is a mod that lets you adjust skills. If you use the mod, I recommend being careful that you do NOT set things to high (not sure but that might cause problems). Of course, the Savescum is ALSO useful to see alternate versions of some scenes, so I say YAY SaveScum.

Just a thought.

Might do fine with the vanilla harem people for a while, but those games are dime a dozen. The last update where Dev bait and switched NTR with Lisa has me done. Kind of a dick move to string the NTR path along and then drop it right at payout.

In other topics,

I keep seeing people say MAX is the MAIN CHARACTER. Eric has to go because MAX is the main character.

To all those people. You do not really seem to get NTR. It's not NTR if Max is not the main character. That's kind of the point. NTR does not suddenly make Eric the main character. You, the player, the main perspective, Max, is the main character dealing with the issues of NTR.

Here is an outside example to help:

The Count of Monte Cristo is a classic revenge story that focused on the PoV of the main character, Edmond Dantes. His friend betrays him, has him thrown in prison, seduces his wife, and takes his child as his own. This is literally an NTR story. No one who has ever read it would even think to say Edmond is not the main character.

Now, you can certainly write a story where the "main character," is not the PC but rather another. I've seen that before. But that's not what we have here. We have Max, and his family, and an interloper. The story is about how Max handles this. Does he do away with Eric (War* and make his family into his harem. Does he prefer to use Eric to gain what he may not otherwise have *Friendship*?



What you are really saying when you say "Max is the main character, therefore NTR and Eric must end," is that you don't want NTR and have decided to not do an NTR route. That's fine. It is the Dev's choice. But don't pretend that's not what is happening. It is not that NTR is not in cards that bothers me, it is that a token effort is given to it to draw the widest audience, and then it is cut to appease your real audience.

Wish Devs could just be honest for once on this. It's not the story that can't abide an NTR route, it is that you have chosen not to do so.
