Ren'Py Abandoned Power Vacuum [Ch. 12 Official] [What? Why? Games]

[JabyShrek988]

there are several theories:

1) It's a clone
2) Hunter's mind was transferred into a younger body
3) Hunter found a way to rejuvenate
4) Hunter managed to cross another timeline and bring his young version into the current timeline (my absurd theory )

Actually, I was talking about Dev's next project after Power Vacuum. But I understand if the developer decides to retire after this because it's a long time.
Also, I'm not sure how many of you have noticed signs on the internet that these games are gradually becoming mainstream, indicating a potential market. We came to this so close way back in GTA Sa's Hot Coffee thing. That mod had so many downloads even when there were so many technical obstacles, which simply don't exist anymore.

Will wait for those patiently and will see when it finally drops
Because as of now we only have the teasers to gives us information.




For the above theories, I find it surprising that the new guy was just allowed in the house, because they don't know it's Hunter yet. So for a new guy to just come into their home he must've been friends with someone related, not sure who as of now, but if they WWG can't explain that then it'll be as a forced entry to the story for a NTR scene. Annabelle was allowed in because Ophelia and Drew became emotional about it.

I think they know it's Hunter. They wouldn't let a stranger in. If they have pictures of young Annabelle, then why not of Hunter that's the same age. Ophelia instantly recognized her mom, when she shouldn't have been born yet. Surely it's reasonable that they have pictures of Hunter too.

I dunno. Hunter grew up in Italy in the mid-20th century, it's possible there are no surviving photos of him from that time. Also his skin was scarred from illness as a teen, but I suppose the "new" Hunter is close enough in age that he'd still be recognizable either way.

I mean "good renders, pasable animations (that get better each chapter btw), and fairly well written" is still just mediocre? Sincerely just having a good grasp on the english language and just a bit of knowledge or intuition on staging would put something in the "way above the slop" in this site

Yes, you've summed up my argument nicely. I'm saying our standards for what is and isn't good should be more than "Does the author have a good grasp of the English language and access to decent renders?"

I don't want to derail this game thread any further so I've created a separate discussion thread for this topic.

Just to let you know, I have been trying to find that RE4 meme about Leon going to Spain and being amazed they have working plumbing over there to answer your comment, but I am not able to find it.

It's 1950s Italy, not exactly a wasteland.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that they didn't have camera technology at that time! I simply meant that if there was a photo of Hunter from back then, it might not have survived the many decades since.

Spoiler: 1950s Italian camera

[ShadowTower456]

When will the update come out?

let's start from the fact that the release of each update is more or less 9 months, the first tarlers were released in the period of March 2024. So the release could be December, January or maximum February

What is your problem? You mention a good game but you don't say which one, nor do you give a link... This is a betrayal, bro!!

Never used it but it seems up to date. Try @ the creator with the issue

Never played PV with the mod, I'm used to playing without audio anyway. But if you really want to bypass the silence, you can turn on the audio from the Spotify app

I usually play through them with appropriate music.

I never tried to include music in PV, because I didn't see much importance for them. especially when I have to visit quests and different scenes every time, for such games I would say that music is not so suitable lol

Why would they let Hunter in after he ran off like that in the previous update and after the main female cast knowing his intentions ? It just shows more of Sterling's incompetence in explaining to the girls how evil Hunter is.

Sterling has been portrayed as incompetent, weak, foolish, submissive, etc.. since the beginning of the game. Granted it's gotten a little bit better over time, but he's never truly turned into "a man". It's one reason I have such a hard time playing the game, and don't really get involved into the story as I'd like to. Sterling is more of a plaything for the girls (and Hunter/Drew).

If he ever actually "grew a pair" and stopped taking shit from everyone, I might look at the game in a different light.

I agree with that, he's used as a prop very frequently. In the last update as well if Lucia didn't show up with Drew, Sterling couldn't have done anything, he would've gotten kicked out. Hoping the next game has a good male lead as the protagonist.
