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

[Nemo56]

Well.... So you are saying dev tried that sort of system at the first place... BUT failed? Too bad...

OH, and is the rebuild version and the previous version different stories? Or is it just a enhancing from the beginning

I would define "fail" otherwise. The game is just not about punishments and bdsm. Alexey just doesn't seem to be interested in that all too much. The original punishments he basicalyl copy/pasted from the orginal Big Brother. It's a plot device, that works as intended (not "tried" and "failed").
Sometimes you need to let the girls get punished to get influence over them, sometimes you need to protect them, so they are grateful or are in a better mood.

The scene with Alice is more comedy. She tries to get the upper hand on Max, but it ends in Max getting what he wants.

Storywise. The basic scenario is the same (Max moving into a house with his "sisters" and "landlady", where he finds hidden cameras and decides to use them), also most story arcs will be similar (teaching lisa, tricking alice and so on). But already in CH1 we see differences, from additional side characters to dream sequences with Max and the girls, mini games like cracking Alice's password and so on.
Already the old build was different than the original BB, this one derives even more.

He does not need some shady abusive side character to make his game work.

Without a proper challenge and goal during the gameplay, such projects fall apart. Eric is a challenge and that makes BB so discussed. Now imagine, you get rid of him and Max progressing to the point of screwing all the girls. What's next? Exactly, an abandoned project, that is a dead end, no matter how much the dev will try, the master goal is already achieved and the game becomes pointless. In other words, if the dev wants to finalize the game properly, he must keep Eric till the very end, and Eric must be a huge pain in the ass for Max in the process.

The problem is, it's not a problem at all. It's not necessary to tie Eric and BB scenario as main challenge. He may be just Chapter 1 antagonist, but the scenarios itself doesn't necessarily have to end there. For example, you can come up with a sequel that involves Max's father and some big problems from his life (take into account it may be related with house he gifted Ann and childrens). BB's universe not necessarily must be tied with Eric at all or should be ended after Eric's dead/gone. After Nemo56 posts, my guess is Alexey probably think in the same way, there're a lot of ways to make BB great game after or without Eric.

 

[Allen0206]

I wonder if someone made a game with Eric as MC, and from his point of view if these same pro-ntr people would be asking to have Max steal the girls from him and have more ntr? Nobody has done that yet, even Pornnoobgod has left the story as from Max's POV and Eric is the main antagonist but we really dont have any insight into him he is just there to "take the girls from Max", which is the same in the OG but we find out he also wants to kill off Ann and steal the house as well.

If the girls won't be screwed by Eric, then the game will be screwed by the dev. This is the fundamental law of BB physics, proven time and again.

But who needs this password jerk with mini games in that game! From the very beginning of the game, the players have already entered with such passwords that they do not want to play. Viser is just not a game.

maybe this can be an idea for next story

make erick fuck all girls in the house, also erick bring his really black friend to fuck em all with drugs sleep sex.. erick do threesome with his friend for fuck em all ( TS with ann, with lisa, with alice, with aunt ).... lol what do u think guys

more tags : sleep sex, drugs, harassment

It would be good, but not for Oleksiy! This developer has too little imagination to develop and twist this plot so that both fans of the main characters of this game will like it. Alas, this unfortunately will not happen. You can score on this game, its fate is thrown like the previous version. Lisa will die unoccupied, and Max will continue to think about how to make money from surveillance cameras.

 

[Nemo56]

...Eric is a challenge ...

No, he never was. He's a plot device. He never was a proper challenge.

Especially on the friendship/fake frieindship path (often seen as ntr path) he's not even a obstacle, Max has to pass storywise, since the two of them team up.

He is good for a laugh now and then however, I admit them. Selling him as slave in the original BB? Drugging him with laxatives in Another Story? These were good.
He'll be in the game, so all Eric lovers can party. And he'll the plot device that he's designed to be, going after Ann. And his fans will even see some scenes with him and Ann, the others can drug him and later kick him out.

 

[Aaron's]

I don't want to go much offtop, but I wonder how many novels were abandoned by their developers.
I guess, the problem you described is not only about any of BB games, it's about development process, considering it's just (mostly) one person who may just doesn't have whole scenario vision, so they just don't know what to do to finish whole game. In addition, they may not fully understand the basic gameloop (it actually means much if we talk about sanbox-type novels). Plus, when we talk about some Japanese novels made and published, they're all made by studios (maybe small ones, but still), so if one of dev. team members stopped working, others just continue to work until the final release.

P. S. So I hope Alexey has his own vision of the story and it's just takes time to make it real during development process.

His whole plan is the next update in a couple of years! Mark my words.

Try this version it is much more Eric friendly and you're more likely to get what you are looking for there than in a game where Eric isn't even a regular character yet

u know what vanilla friendly?glamour
why dont u go over there?there are threesome,orgies and all the shit u want

 

[elbro]

I come from the future and in 2040 there will still be talk about Eric in this forum and the game will have 2 more remakes, Lisa will still be a virgin.

It's not about getting what they want, it's about complaining that they don't.

Dude, it's pretty easy to crack. Just try to think few seconds when reading tips to it, don't just skip it.

Been there thanks, sadly now abandoned.

So do we have any saves for the Rebuild version? I've been out for awhile and not looking to redo the same grind over and over again.

The mod (use forum search) allows using old saves and other people's saves, but without warranty. It might cause bugs.
If you don't want to play everything over and over again, wait until chapter 1 is finished and then play it one single time.

Assuming you mean: https://f95zone.to/threads/big-brother-another-story-rebuild-mod-v0-07-03-onlyfunz.150953/ ? Haven't been able to get old saves to work with it sadly, but that could be a personal issue so if it's that one, I'll give it another go

It's not that it's easy or not to crack that password, but that it's not needed at all! Instead of figuring out Eric's NTR route, making it long-term, satisfying Eric's fans, attracting new players to the game, he's engaged in this stupidity: Simple stupidity! Although in one normal game from the developers, this password mini-game stupidity is somewhere? Tell me similar stupidity in such games as Wife and Mother, Desert Stalker, Babysitters, Amnesia, No More Money, Heart Problem, Midnight Paradise, etc.: is there even one of them this stupidity? None of them, because the developers perfectly understand what the players expect from them, the development of the characters is not played like that! However, at the beginning of the game, this clown already drove those players into such puzzles that there is no desire to play anymore: for this, it was necessary to leave the previous version, he will miss a year of development to add a new character, passwords in an additional game, dreams, and how Lisa brushes her teeth! Steeply. We have been waiting for this for decades to solve the puzzles and see how Lisa brushes her teeth with bare tits. Wow, this will be an update! I will see it in my sleep and dreams, Nice.

Not laxatives, Saltpeter, it is supposed to make it almost impossible for a guy to get an erection.

I think you are getting confused, Aleksy is not Dark Silver, Dark Silver started this a decade ago take your issues up with him he had 2 bites of the apple and failed both times because he let his Patreons determine his story instead of coming up with a good one of his own.
