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

[HVS3]

i agree with dev not polling about how his story should go.

but no saves but at begging day i dont agree with bc some player like to save at certain pionts to b able to replay certain scences.

also no hint or wt in a grinding game to me is just plain mean, but if game is staight forward cant miss anything stye game than i would agree. but this style way to easy to miss things bc to many different varioables

dear Patreons, the 10th has passed without an update, any news from the dev for a new date?

There is no other word on patreon, as of this morning 8/11/20. So far it's planed for some time in Aug. Will let you know, if we get news on patreon, about update. Hopefully we'll get word soon.

 

[maxbishup]

maxbishup,
You don't understand at all what they say to you.
Rbla (like me) has a problem with the first conversation about hand massage.
Disposition:
Max did three foot massages for Lisa.
Lisa (like Alice) is in a very good mood.
But the dialogue about hand massage is not started.

Ok, so I asked about it on discord, this is the only reply.

Fix 0.04.0.09. Fixed a bug that prevented Lisa's massage from developing.

maxbishup - sorry to bother you with this but I've just started playing this BB version and noticed that after Eric buys the bikini for Lisa and the dress for Alice, Lisa never wears it at the pool & Alice never goes out on Friday night!! I've obviously missed something along the way & it appears that Max is not meant to be able to buy the bikini & dress for the girls. Any hints you can give me will be greatly appreciated!
(I thought of using the cheat mod but would prefer not to at this stage...)

 

[SDaddy666]

In my opinion Aleksey90 should not do polls about content. He should tell his story the way he planned it.
The best game for me would be:
1. No way to cheat (save on the server)
2. No hints at all, no WT
3. Only autosaves at the beginning of the day (no manual saves)
4. When restarting the random number generator changes the start conditions.
One example is "This War of Mine" just an autosave and every time you restart, the team, equipment and start conditions are generated by a random generator.

You're a psychopath, thank god not all games have this. we don't all crave difficulty or have time to grind endlessly.
If there are cheats and hints and savegames you could maybe just NOT USE THEMif you don't like them ? idk. That's just stupid reasoning to me.

YES you are meant to give them. Look at opportunities, you may be missing something. Make sure your game is up to date, 0.04.0.08 fixed with .09. If your stuck, give us your last save, and I'll look at it for you. Edit: you are suppose to give bikini & dress, instead of Eric. ( NOTE: Just my opinion, but don't let that scumbag beat you, damn him with your last breath. )

In my opinion Aleksey90 should not do polls about content. He should tell his story the way he planned it.

Sorry, but I disagree. In MY opinion there should be MANY polls. Examples of VITALY needed polls would include:

1) Which character should help Max make Chocolate Chip Cookies first?
2) Which Character should teach Max to swim so he doesn't just sit at the edge of the pool? (yes there is the late night bit with Kira in the original, but why not let the poor guy swim during the day?)
3) Should Max get a job Mowing the lawn of the Old Neighbor lady to get extra cash (and meet her SEXY Daughter/Granddaughter)?
4) Should there be a park that Max (and the ladies) can visit for Picnics? Should this include eating Chocolate Chip Cookies?
5) Should the game include Max taking part in silly and/or bizarre polls on his computer (maybe for bonus cash or prizes)?

See there MUST be polls for content or we will NEVER get the answers to these and other IMPORTANT questions.

Just a thought.

P.S. This was NOT meant to be taken seriously. Well OK, I do want to see Max have the option to swim, AND the game DESPERATELY needs Chocolate Chip Cookies, but I was trying for a Humorous response.

I didn't know that it was even possible in this game because of the credit. Max is even reminded on Thursday (day 9) that this is the last day he can order the stuff to give to the girls before Eric. Even if Max has no money, he can use the credit to buy the swimsuit and dress and give it to the girls before Eric.

2. No hints at all, no WT
3. Only autosaves at the beginning of the day (no manual saves)

You are free to play the game as you want, without looking at hints or WT and making only autosaves at the start of the day.
We don't want that so why would only ONE option be there? You want an ironman challenge? Go for it and let us load, cheat and follow guides.

Yes it is possible, if you do not buy and read the web book, set up cam, and start adds on it, you can not take the loan from bank. You must work for Ann and save money, do not spend money needlessly. PS You can blackmail Alice for smoking at 13: hundred hours(1pm), and get 10 to 20 dollars. I know you know this
Lukumoide. But it's for others just starting the game.

 

[alefrago]

its ok we gave as Eric the dress and bikini normally, making the sissy peeper again nervous etc...amazing! thanks

From the third day we can get $10 from Alice every night after I place the spider. Just keep the spider, don't kill it, and use it again next day. We also use it to increase Alice's Mood.

When we use cheats or mods, we destroy all the work that the game developers put into the game mechanics. It's really not easy to balance everything to make it work, even if some people don't believe it, it's one of the most difficult tasks in making a game. Therefore, I am sure that every game developer hates mods and cheats.

And having spoken with several developers I assure you that's not the case. I have heard only one developer complain and I know some that put up a walkthrough immediately without anyone asking. I am not just talking about hiding them behind paywalls in Patreon. Some simply give them out because they want the players to enjoy the game in the way they want.

Play the game as you want and leave us to play the game as we want. What you suggest would kill my interest in this game, immediately. Most often than not, I check whether there's a walkthrough up before I download a game. And that goes for games outside the genre too.

If you don't like cheats, mods, walkthroughs, don't use them. No need to spoil OUR fun.

Enough players already get easily frustrated if none of the above is in a porn game. I think you would lose more players then you'd gain.

If you had checked the thread, my post already had the hints how to buy the clothes before Eric does. Ah well...

 

[HVS3]

fyi some dev also make the mods & cheats for some games.

also there diferent types of mods
mods that enhance images (dont see a problem with that)
mods to help with mini games bc not everyone can do the mini games ( some mini games can b hard for me personaly bc im not as young as i use to b)
mods for money &/or stats (not everyone has time or wants to spend hour to get to good parts of game)
mods add events ( these type of mods are usaualy for games where dev has left them undone)
mods for translation ( dev cant make games in all lanuages so sometimes a mod can b made if there is a need for certain language)
there are other types of mods out there as well just cant think of them right now
so in my opion mods are good & there is no need to dislike them if u dont need or want them thats is up to u (sonny lol)

I have also written "for me", it does not mean that others have to like it or do the same.
