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

[dwalsh]

One aspect that this Game and Glamour share is the size of the final version. It's not going to be a never ending story but this is only the beginning. Glamour has already rocketed pass the original story (without Eric and a streamlined story) and even if you don't like where the story is going now appreciation for how much of a story there is to tell can't be denied. There is going to be a lot more content when the three routes are tied off and he can focus on the game in its entirety rather than splitting all the work up.

But for a lot of us the story IS the Eric stuff. I could care less for the other stuff. Why put it in in the first place and represent it as a legit NTR path to cut later? It just does not make sense. Again, are you actually getting this literally from the Dev? Like for sure. 100% he said Eric is cut content and will be going away very soon?

Did he say all NTR gone? It just really confuses me that he would build a bunch of content and then trash it. Seems almost like a deliberate middle finger to the NTR folks. There must be more to it.

I'm upset because it means I lose out on a good game, but more so as a writer, it bothers me. That's just bad storytelling unless you are specifically and intentionally aiming for a big subversion of expectation with a major twist.

Once again, from the very beginning and repeatedly. Hopefully this answers all questions..

Why not do this, simply join the dev's Discord. That way you can ask the dev about your concerns personally. I'm a game tester there and will help you anyway I can. NTR is not my thing, but I don't have hate for those that like it. I really don't think this will be a NTR style game, but what do I know, I'm not the dev.

I'm confused, is there more? All I see is a general plot point that says nothing about the game beyond the first 5 min.

I kind of assumed had to be patron to be heard on it tbh, and had bad experience with devs in the past. Kind of avoid those now. If it's chill there I'll pop over, thanks for the suggestion.

Actually, what is his discord. Saw one linked in thread ages ago but link did not work.

Thanks, if that's the direction he's going, so be it, it's his game. But I don't want to waste any more time on it if so. Much appreciated.

BTW - if it is just Eric going away, but some other NTR villian that's chill.

Another ntr discussion, eh? I hoped we are past that point by now.
Well ... from Eric's point of view, Max is the one causing NTR. After all he steals Ann away from him.
From Max' point of view, so far there's only Kira and that only if they get caught at night. Not sure if Eric will steal anyone from him on friendship path or if Max shares willingly. The latter option would make more sense, since that's what the path is all about.

Eric will leave the house on each of the three paths. There has not been said yet, what the new challenges will be.
Some people are disappointed, that's for sure, but most people play war path anyway, so they might not be all that interested in Eric anyway or hate him so much that they went to celebrate for weeks.

What is last two memories?

Because Black Panther forgot to post the complete persistent file with all paths (all images unlocked). Here is the persistent file.

If Eric is being ditched looks like I'll have to drop my Patreon to the Dev. Whole reason I was excited about this game is because I thought they were finally going to make the complete game with the original game's intent.

Sucks, but without Eric and the theme he brought, it's a very generic incest game.

Good luck to the Dev, I wish them success despite my disappointment.

There are 4 friendship paths and only 2 war paths. So far, even on the war paths, Eric is only kicked out at the end of the paths. On the 4 friendship paths, Eric will stay for a long time (maybe until the end of the game). That's why I can't understand you, if you play all friendship paths, you have much more content than the people who only play the "Hostile" path. Some events can only be seen on certain paths. For example, the bathroom event with Ann is only on the "Fake Friendship" path.

Either "Real Friendship" Eric gave Alice the bodysuit or "Fake Friendship" Eric gave Alice the bodysuit. It is available on the Two Paths.

jfi: The persistent file posted by Lukumode also has unlocked cookies (due to current restrictions I don't know if the christmas cookies are unlocked as well, let's just assume they are).
Go grab them, you lazy gluttons!

Ok, so I didn't get much from the dev (He does not want to give away too much at this time) But he ok'd this statement, "Eric or no Eric, Max will continue to be challenged whether NTR or not".
