Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.09.00] [Aleksey90]

[Nemo56]

I don't know why, i just find Ann uninteresting. She's like in the bottom of my list of girls that i'm eager for new scenes:
1- Alice
2- Lisa
3- Kira
4- Olivia
5- Ann
6- ...everyone else.

Also, i'm seeing her in some pretty explicit situations with Max already in the previews and sketches, and i'm starting to worry Ann's arc will become rushed. Imho, shouldn't Ann be the toughest one to seduce? She's the one that's always uptight with everything.. i'm not really understanding how she's getting so open with Max, since its so taboo. I don't know... feels rushed Its not like she gets loose with liquor chocolats...

Anyway, just my opinion.

When it comes to new intimate scenes, I would go for Alice,Lisa,Ovilia,Ann,Kira.
Storywise however Ann comes last. She is the most boring and uncharismatic character of all. She is just 'there'. In the original she had nothing else to say but "I am so bad. Son, let me help you. I am such a bad mother, but we need the money". Hopefully Alexey will give her more depth.

shouldn't Ann be the toughest one to seduce?

Well, storywise she would be the easiest one, since she is so submissive. Once Max learns her 'secret' from Kira, he uses it just like Eric did (at least it was this way in the original. And of course there was that stupid movie story line). Most 'family oriented' games have mom as highlight however, since most players are into mommies. I think this will happen here as well.

I think the comparison of Eric to the cams is actually a good one. Most good stories need an antagonist, but the antagonist doesn't need to be a person. It could be money problems or any other hurdle for the MC to overcome. The money issue could definitely have been focused on more and made the inclusion of Eric completely unnecessary except to people who want cuck content. I don't mind him being there as long as I can completely shut him down and eventually get rid of him. What I don't like is when there are scenes where he's guaranteed to win, the exception being with Ann since he's her boyfriend. There are some Eric scenes with Alice, Lisa, and Kira that are either unavoidable or require info not contained in the in game hints to avoid, which I find annoying.

I've made a similar arguments about more potential antagonists, expanding on both the game is about Max and with that said Max antagonists are unlimited. Where as Eric's only antagonist is Max, which is why I can't get the understanding of someo. Eric gets rid of Max - Game Over.
Max bows to Eric command???? what is left after that???... a few random scenes with little or no story line then Game over. To me it's like routing for Bowser in Mario's game, missing everything else for a really small part of the game.

and this is where the other version (hopefully not this one) failed spectacularly. Even being a sub all that time with Eric Ann kept her dignity and expected the same of those in the house. Those sex lessons with Lisa for me were over the top but there are fans that liked it..... so thats that. To me thats why when she stopped the lessons Eric had to go behind her back, because she has limits. I'm dancing between versions now so forgive me a bit but in Glamour when she lost her job she lost her dignity and the blowback was immediate. Its the same argument I'll use here, even when Max is successful why does porn movies have to be the go to? Why does she have to fall that far when she didnt when a complete duche like Eric was more or less controlling her? Some folks will love that path some won't. Like with Eric I hope Aleksey will consider spitting it into two paths if he goes that way. One path for the porn movies, one path for something else.

Yeah, I played that for a while, but stopped some time ago (I think one or two updates after the last tier was unlocked). Leveling tears are no good replacement for a event based storyline in my opinion. Then again this is not really a porn game, but a hotel management game with some adult content. Some might like that, I prefer the story based approach.

I like it. The management system doesn't get in the way of the story in the game and the artwork is supreme. But honestly I've missed a few updates well myself. Hopefully when I get back to it there's a lot more content. As for Mystic Manor missed a couple of updates on that one too.

sandbox is similar to a harem?

I have no clue how a sandbox style game can be similar to a harem.
Anyway, this game does not feature a harem - at least as long as the girls don't know about each other. Max is just a cheating d***
Later in the game there might be some threesomes, but that's about it.
It is a sandbox game by definition with limited interaction possibilities. You need to find ways to keep the girls happy and learn skills, then read the hints to learn how to proceed on certain opportunities.

Check the Walkthrough on the first page. But if I remember correctly spy on Alice next time Eric is in her room then talking to her, and then in the next morning talk with her in her room.

Well, everyone has their own taste and that everyone has their own order of interest in the characters of the game, and this is not strange at all.
And, I do not know what is going on in the mind of the game developer about this character. But what is clear is that the previews are not necessarily related to the next update. That's why in the text of this post I write "Next Updates".

 

[greenymph]

.Black Panther. Yeah, i was just trying to piece together all the little bits of info that we have available. Since this next update is about Ann, and the previews show her in such intimacy with Max... one does wonder what is up with that
We'll just wait and see what happens

Ahh so those might just be teasers of scenes that are coming "eventually" rather than in v0.9.

 

[Saluja]

any update on dates so far?

 

[wongjohn]

very much looking forward to 。。。。

Consulte el tutorial en la primera página. Pero si no recuerdo mal, espíe a Alice la próxima vez que Eric esté en su habitación, luego podrá con ella y luego, a la mañana siguiente, podrá con ella en su habitación.

Lo hice, pero solo aparece fuera de su habitación, dice que sigue con el blog.

They work. If you are unable to load them, you do something wrong. What that is? I don't know, you have "a" problem, because "something" is not working right, so there is "a" solution.

I'm not going to immagine the file system on your computer and I guess no one else will.

You can change the "layout" manually, if you want. A savegame name includes the page where the game is displayed and the slot for the page.

There is also the problem that the game just restarts the game from the beginning when i click on the save file. Don't know why though, can't figure it out.

Okay, I figured it out.

If I have the correct point you are in mind you should be at the point of buying the black lingerie for Alice
