Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.08.02] [Aleksey90]
- Thread starter Crazygamer43
- Start date
If you're going to make a difficult game, it has to be fair or well managed. But for what reason create a porn game that is hard to play? I don't see Big Brother as a difficult game but I see Big Brother as a poorly managed game. The vast majority of people choose to play something easy or with a mediocre story, like WMV. Of course this game is VN, but if we're going to talk about point-n-click sandbox, there's Milfy City.
But then, what would be difficult game? I'll tell you, this sucks. This game is sandbox, if you make things difficult you end up losing your spirits, just having the mechanics of rng ends up being stressful. Grind is present in most sandbox games, some are exaggerated and others are forced. Glamour for example had an exaggerated and very forced grind, it was then that DS decreased a little but it's still a pain to play that. BBAS followed the same error of Big Brother and continued with the same dialog options, I know it was one person's job, but whoever played the game could create their own. Is not hard. Most have mediocre stories, but don't be afraid to create your own. Maybe it's good or better, but it will be your own.
Talking about the opportunities, sometimes I wonder if this is necessary or else create a unique event that you can do tasks one by one. But I wouldn't think of wanting to make things difficult, this is a porn game and not a game where you have to evolve your character to face a boss from each realm. I wouldn't want the events to be hard to do, because most people don't want to rack their brains in solving puzzles in porn games. About that I ask, what would you like to see in Big Brother?

If I hadn't deleted my pledge many months ago, this would've made me do so. "Help people with my game, how dare you?" What a lovely approach for a dev to have.

Well, he's an internal tester and has access to resources others haven't. We don't know much about the agreement, only that he promised (I don't recall the words "how dare you" in his post, how about you stick what he wrote and not your interpretation of it?). The illegaly leaked game versions here are not supported, but tolerated. There are quite some commercial games here as well.
Therer are others who CAN help and do so on a regular base. What'S wrong with asking THEM?

Point on the game, Difference with the original game.
Having played the original Big Brother to the end, I have to say I was a bit fed up with what had happened to the game and it was time for this all to end. Because in fact, was it still a game? All the player could do all day long was to fuck all the females in the house one after the other, from sunrise until late at night, from Monday morning to Sunday evening. The sandbox concept was fully respected, and once a game reward was available, it was definitely acquired. So I ask the question: where is the notion of game in there when it is enough to have a well-prepared schedule and to apply it methodically day after day? For me, no interest. If I want to have this type of hobby, I go in front of my TV on an adult channel, and I watch porn movies from morning to night and it will be much more interesting.
With this new game - because it is a new game - all that is over.
Certainly, the characters are almost the same as in the original game and also the backstory of the story follows the outline of the original game. But the comparison stops there.
1st rule: Nothing is acquired in advance, everything is earned.
From now on, it is no longer a question of going from point A to point B while being certain that the reward is at the end of the road. The player is not a bus driver. Not only will the bus have to go from A to B, but the player will also have to pay attention to how to get there. Likewise, the player will have to ensure, for example, that at the same time another bus is also on its way to its final destination and that it is already halfway there. Otherwise, it's missed for matches, and no reward on arrival.
2nd rule: Nothing is ever acquired definitively.
Your bus has arrived at point B, you have received your reward, but you feel that you have tried hard enough as it is? This is the best way for your reward to disappear as if by magic and you find yourself confronted with the "Upside Down" policy with your character. It's a bit as if, while you are copiously busying yourself with your partner, she says to you between two jolts "Honey, don't you think it would be good if we redecorated the room?" or even "I'd like to ask my mom to come and spend a few days with us. The children would have someone other than me to have fun with them...". Nothing like that to ruin the mood.
In conclusion, if this game uses the main principles of the sandbox, it is not really accurate. In fact, it is more like an "escape game" where, in each room, you will have to perform certain actions, in a certain order, to be able to find the sesame that will allow you to reach the next room. So sorry for those who consider that a porn game should be practiced with one hand on the mouse, and the other .... wherever you want, but again, for this kind of activity, there are passes much more efficient time for this. BBAS is a game and like any game, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but victory always has a price.

My problem isn't with the poster it's with the dev making a deal with someone who could help improve the enjoyment of players to not do so. If it was a fuck you to this forum for the leaks then sure, but why is the alien allowed to leak every preview image then? These kind of games have a massive problem with people getting lost and not understanding things and help on forums is a massive relief of that. Having a dev who actively works against this is madness to me and very anti-player. Why would you want your players to have a bad time with your game? Because they haven't paid you? Maybe if they could actually see all of the content instead of just getting stuck and deleting the game they would be a patron next month.

Maxbishup is the official representative of BB AS on f95 therefore he is allowed to do it. Maxbishup, Black Panter and I are testers at BB AS. I am a tester on 6 games and translate one game, so I have less time. But my saves are always available for all testers. You all should thank Aleksey for providing you, despite everything (the game is his income) two excellent people like maxbishup and Black Panther. That's why, when I have time, I always play the full game with each fix to find all the bugs caused by the new content, in the old content.

In my eyes, it's a fantastic game and I'm excited about it. That's why I support the game. In 3 games, the game developers wanted to give me back the money (that I spend every month on support), but I refused because I want to continue to support the games. I also refused to become a tester for another game because I am already overloaded, I have a family (wife and daughter, she will be 9 in August). I already have problems to play all the games I support in the month when the update comes. The tests have priority.

If Aleksey had problems with F95, he wouldn't have sent you two excellent people to help you. So if you like the game, please support BB AS. This is the only way to ensure that the game will be further developed and that excellent quality will be retained.

Each of us has different preferences, it's good, just because of that there are so many games and each of us can find what he likes.
Personally, I only like games that are not so easy to finish. For me difficulty is the most important factor, then comes graphics, and story. That's why I support such games. In games where everything is too easy to achieve, or with too many clues, I get bored and try to avoid such games. For example, I liked Glamour until episode 10 because it was only played online. There were only 5 autosaves on the server (no way to save manually, or cheat) few hints. After that unfortunately came the offline version with manual saves, countless hints and ways to cheat. Now it's not a game for me, I'm only continuing to play because I loved the original BB game and I'm the only patron who supports BB continuously with $40 from the beginning (already for 5 years).

Right now I am supporting 2 others on Patreon. I can't really afford to support anymore.
I won't mention names, but they are both making me mad. Both are over promising and under delivering. Been supporting them for a little over a year.
I am thinking of dropping them and adding Aleksey.
I am a fan of this game hence why I am on this thread but for me to support or encourage other people to support this game there has to be evidence of delivering decent, of course this is dependent on personal opinion, updates. My opinion is the last few updates have not been decent ..even taking in to account of all the Devs personal problems the amount of content for 2021 is underwhelming but I am keeping faith that 2022 will be better.

Yes, If the path of enmity with Eric is chosen in the game. The only opportunity that will remain in this path of the game is the "control" opportunity , which is not available in this path of the game.

You need to install bug fix 6 games.
If you need save files, you can find them in the first post.

Try to progress in Arachnophobia. Play all possible pranks on her (check the walkthrough for details).
