VN Ren'Py Origin Story [v0.6.0] [JDOR]

[Rehwyn]

The government being bad doesn't mean Parker is automatically good. All this subterfuge to track the progress of Jack's power seems way too strange to be something done from altruistic intentions to me.
Anyway, that is a good mystery.



There is this too.

I'm sure Parker has additional motives other than just altruism for MC, but that doesn't mean they are necessarily mutually exclusive. Remember that MC's parents, who Parker was close friends with, were killed when he was young and likely made to look like a murder suicide. It would not surprise me if they're somehow involved with the Superflu or MC's power. I suspect there's a long-running conspiracy involving them that Parker is secretly aware of and possibly trying to unravel.

This.....I like this!

Unravel - or hide.

 

[HornyyPussy]

Unravel - or hide.

 

[Rehwyn]

Unravel - or hide.

It's possible, but I feel unlikely (unless hiding the conspiracy somehow helps MC or avenges his parents).

I also think this conspiracy is related to why MC was attacked by tiger dude, and I hardly see Parker sending someone to kill MC.

Conspiring against people like those behind the principal and the troops who machinegun children in the streets isn't necessarily BAD mind you. <shrug>

We talk a lot about Parker, rightfully and understandably, but we rarely talk about that woman who claims to be MCs aunt and is connected to the tiger mutant who attacked him.

I'm curious what her deal is. After all she risked her supposed nephew getting killed just so he'd get close to the leading hero team.

The tiger was convinced that MC was what caused him to be that way, I can only assume to his mind MC inherits the sins of his parents. Meaning MCs parents were involved in the creation of the Superflu. Who better would know than MCs aunt who was likely involved too.

Assuming the aunt knew all along what MCs power was or was going to be, and that seems very likely as Parker seems to have known and been tracking his dna since before MC himself knew his powers a thing, then planting MC with the best hero team is an obvious plan to copy and gather in one person some of the strongest powers around.

But to what purpose?

They've obviously not working with the government, given they broke multiple mutants out of a concentration camp. But they're also manipulating some of them, or at least they did one of them.

It kinda feels like MC is getting groomed into being this worlds Magneto, the savior and guardian of all mutants.

I kinda hope so, this world is far too fucked up for any peaceful subservient route to coexistence.

She doesn't claim to BE MC's aunt specifically IIRC. Just talks about arranging a meeting.

Feels like she's playing for both sides. Didn't Georgia say they were there chasing a tiger mutant anyway?

Or he's been lied to ofc...

 

[romo-ice]

or She is LI in MC villain route.

Given the MC's power, none may have a real choice in the matter. We'll see what conditions and limitations the dev adds to the MC's ability, if any.

Does anyone else can't enter Evelyn character menu entry? After the first freeroam, that was when I first tried, always give me an error saying {name 'evelyn_prof2_unlock' is not defined}, all the other 9 unlocked character entries at that point open fine.

I put URM in the game folder after it to check variables and I searched variable names with "unlock" and I got more than 20 variables that end with "(character name)_prof_unlock" and a few also "prof2" but yeah evelyn one isn't one of them. Not sure if this an already known/reported bug on this thread, I tried to search about it and didn't find anything so I'm wondering if there is something wrong with my game installation because it is kind of annoying, what seems so far the "main LI" in the game and can't even enter her profile/gallery. Can anyone try to enter Evelyn character menu entry and see if gives error too?

FYI I'm using the latest v0.6.0 version of the game that is in the OP. I'll attach the traceback of the error.

Cheers and thanks in advance.

I'm glad to see that Golden Jack is starting to take off, becoming better known, and has passed the 500 subscriber mark .

I played until the first dinner out with Moonsong (I think it was chapter 2 or 3) and found it entertaining, and I must add that the dev was developing at least three chapters ahead, something I've never seen before .

It's a known bug with v0.6. Jacq implemented code that at the start of Chapter 6 updates Evelyn's age (since her birthday occurs), but unfortunately the variable used to check that wasn't in the base version of the game so is currently undefined until you reach that chapter and causes the error.

It'll likely be fixed, but in the meantime you'll need to get to Chapter 6 before you can see Evelyn's profile.

Does anyone have a handle on the timeline of events in the story thus far? I.e., at some point Parker brings up it's been a year (plus some weeks) since MC has moved in with them. In the intro and photo flashbacks there's multiple events, out of order, but with timing information thrown in to most of them. I swear this an elaborate verbal math problem:

1. MC's adopted parents arrested/sentenced weeks before turning 18
2. MC moves in with Parker and Riley (three weeks before Evelyn's 18th, probably on his birthday)
3. Beach Scene (Evelyn's birthday morning)
4. Pendle Point (Evelyn's birthday night)
5. Pool Scene (timeline unknown, but probably summer time so around the 4th event?)
6. Lucia's July 4th (less than two months from Evelyn's 19th)
7. Diner (MC's 19th Birthday, ~three weeks before present and Evelyn's 19th)
8. Present (starts a few days before Evelyn's 19th)

We know from the scene with Parker and Naveen that he manifested well before getting attacked. We don't know how long Parker had been visiting him at night to get samples, though, and if that only began after he moved or before.

He almost certainly didn't manifest before the move. It's speculated that Amber's handjob triggered his power awakening. Had he already been active at that point, he almost certainly would have acquired her invisibility power (and we know that he has not acquired an inactive form of it because Naveen doesn't see him having it).

Something else I did notice that was interesting when reviewing the dialogue of that scene is that Parker comments that "I am curious to see what will happen if they do connect" when talking about if Riley is feeling the effects of MC's power and if they eventually have sex. Obviously she could just be talking in terms of relationship dynamics, but it also makes me wonder if she knows something about Riley that we don't in regards to her possibly having powers (active or latent) despite thus far appearing unpowered.

 

[e6mill]

it also makes me wonder if she knows something about Riley that we don't

There are people in the codex with "ability: unknown", but both Parker and Riley are "ability: none", so there's that.

I think the codex is relative to MC's knowledge -- so as far as he knows neither of them have powers and Ghostraven and Riley are different people

 

[e6mill]

Ghostraven and Riley are different people

I remain unconvinced they are not.

Had a pretty lengthy discussion in the Discord about this and my theory has grown a bit. I'll go into detail, but the TL;DR is that MC might be able to give unpowered people powers and/or make other powered people stronger by having sex with them.

Circling back to Parker's comment, she's very knowledgeable about the specific workings of the Superflu virus and metagene DNA from her work. If my theory is correct, her comment might be because she's interested to see if Riley gets powers from sleeping with MC or if nothing happens.

TL;DR - MC might be able to give unpowered people powers and/or make other powered people stronger by having sex with them.

The flaw in that theory is that MC has fucked Georgia the most times of anyone in the story (up to three times) and her power hasn't evolved or at least he doesn't have an evolved version of her power. Depending on what path you take, the MC doesn't even have sex with Evelyn, instead using the pills to get her power, but nonetheless her power is still evolved according to Naveen. So, more than likely Evelyn's powers evolving have nothing to do with her having sex with MC. Also, if you go down the path of friendzoning Evelyn, she basically just says, "okay, I'll do whatever you want" to the MC to his surprise, which I suspect is related to not only his power but also to her power evolving, just not sure how, yet.
