Ren'Py Heavy Five [Ch.2RS] [Nottravis]

[Goblin Baily: DILF]

Which raises the following question: If nothing is the creator's fault, if the whole adventure is only dependent on our choices, then what can be considered as canon? Especially in the case of a potential sequel.

Notty will ask us how the story ended and pick the most common outcome

 

[Akamari]

Certainly not this.

 

[Huitieme]

Decisions would carry over to the sequel.

Kinda like how the Mass Effect games worked, I guess. But with so many paths and dead and/or alive characters, it could quickly get chaotic D:

I sure hope not :/ This solution will most likely only alienate everyone who didn't follow the specific path then chosen. Then, we would all wear shirts saying "not my Heavy Five", parading the streets and burning effigies of Becca, henceforth known as the Great Betrayer!

That's why I suggested the most ironic and improbable solution

Behold the words Notty once said:

IF it were to be a sequel there would be no hard reset. I have a way to make the choices roll over story wise in a logical way that is actually manageable from a dev point but I'm finding your concerns to be really interesting.

I did not want to go into the grim details, but yeah, exactly that.

When I refer to canon, I am referring, of course, to my own canon (even if it's only head canon and includes bits the author left out.) CYOA games (especially when it's ACIO) leaves canon to the player.

Yeesh.

Ren'Py has the ability to store persistent data in a way that it is shareable with other games. This means Notty could set some persistent variables when you reach the end of the current H5 and when H5 Part Deux comes out it would load those variables in and know where you ended up (with Annie in a long-term loving relationship, of course.)

I really don't know what it is about Annie that's got me so hooked. Except, well, she's intelligent, snarky, capable, has a warped sense of humor, good looking... oh yeah, all that.

*nods nods nods*

Or I could do as they did in ME2 of course, which would be easier on newer players and mean they wouldn't have to play H5 series 1.

The conditional used implies that plain H5 is a chore..

Also 're Annie and her popularity (which is understandable as she is pretty fun), I can't help but notice that the girls are generally as popular as the amount of screen time they've had with the MC. Probs a concidence but I thought it intriguing none the less.

We may fall out, you and I.

 

[Goblin Baily: DILF]

Notty's not lying.. friendzone is a relationship too

 

[Nottravis]

We may fall out, you and I.

*laughs*

Well, given Eric isn't really relationship material for Annie, I think any plans you have for the engineer are safe.

I doubt anything that crazy ginger plans can be called safe
