VN Ren'Py Rick and Morty: Another Way Home [r4.0] [Night Mirror]

[spence]

Night Mirror, I've loved the work you've been doing so far on this project, but I thought I'd let you know about a concept that maybe you aren't already aware of since you seem to be so focused on the seeming paradox of rarity in infinity.

There are infinities that are bigger or smaller than other infinities. This is mathematically supported and a well understood concept. If you think of these infinities in multiple universes as concentrations (think number of Morty's or Morticias in a given 1,000,000 universes) it can absolutely be the case that the infinity of Morty's is much, much larger than the infinity of Morticias. There's nothing about physics or mathematics that forbids that. So in such a situation, while both individuals are by definition in infinite supply, the concentrations they represent in the larger scale collection of universes does not have to be equal as not all infinities are equal in size. So there's actually nothing paradoxical about Morticia being 'rare' yet also infinite, provided you think of her rarity as being rare relative to other individuals who are also infinite.

Anyway, hope that helps. I'd offer my help with editing if you need it, but I'm a grad student so my time would be off and on, so maybe not super reliable.

This has gotten way off the original topic (into a Maths discussion, rather than talking about the game (and I did say the game wasn't even going to address Morticia's rarity)). So, this is my last response on the topic.

"Bigger" and "Smaller" relate to the paramaters of an infinit set. Usually (mathmatically), when we are talking about "bigger" infinities we are talking about uncountable vs countable sets. But paramaters can make infinites "bigger" or "smaller" depending on what you include and what you don't.

A (very) simple example is an infinite line vs an infinite plane. Both are infinite, but a plane would be a "bigger" infinite set, having more "infinites" inside it.

As it relates to the game, there are infinitely many Mortys and Morticias in the Central Finite Curve. This is because the only set paramater is that: "Rick is the smartest person", not "and there are only 12 Morticias". What's really going to blow your mind is that if we had a set paramater where there are less Morticias than Mortys, there would still be an infinite amount of both in the set.

So, yes the Central Finite Curve is by definition a "smaller" infinity then a set where Rick isn't the smarterst person. But, in both sets, there are still infinitely many Mortys and Morticias, because the set doesn't define a finite amount of either.

Again, Morticia is rare not because there are less of her, or more of Morty, there are infinite amounts of both, and infinite amounts of neither. She is rare because finding her in that infinit set is hard.

As for the Conclusion (SPOILERS) the answer is no. Both Tricia and Jessica's main arcs have concluded. There are no more planned (sexy) scenes for either character in the content I'm making.

As a guy with breastfeeding fetish , waiting for Tricia breastfeeding sex,

NOOOO

Just finished r4.0. Man, what an awesome job Ferdafs and you did.

The short answer is, yeah, probably not. The longer answer is... maybe?

It won't be part of the conclusion (there is still too much else I still have to do, and I'm already miles beyond the original scope and struggling), but there is always the chance that Ferdafs could include it (if indeed he hasn't abandond ship) or that someone else with the same drive might contribute a scene with it.

Sadly, at this point, I just don't have capacity to include anything not already planned (I don't even have it for stuff that is planned!).

Here is hoping for the Maybe. Just getting into Day 41 and this feels like a perfect love letter to the women in this series and lives up to their personalities in so many different ways.


You can tell this was a labor of love in the way that it plays out and I hope to continue seeing all of it's development continue to grow.

I second this

Looks like the main game finally got tagged as abandoned again.

Sad days.

Just downloaded it to my Chromebook and I do have Linux installed but other than that I don't know how to play the game. Can someone please help?

I don't know linux works on chromebooks (as in, is the OS local or remote?), but on linux, just run RMAWH.sh from either the terminal or whichever fire explorer you have.

Idk how but I've got here, what do I do?

Your best hope is most likely going to be googling (or your search engine of choice) for an answer, as this is a general question about getting Renpy engine games to run on your specific setup.

In fact, I did just that and

is the first result from the official Renpy documentation. It seems the best way to play Renpy on ChromeOS is to use the android version.

 

[ahegaolovrr]

Thank you! That appears to have worked.

 

[Hell2011]

one of the best games on the forum, unironically. Love the remake, thanks.

Since Ferdafs game is marked as abandoned, how soon can we expect the update?

This isn't the first time Ferdafs version has bin labeled Abandoned. Usually when this happens the response of next update is within one to two months. My own internal dialog is usually "it will get here when it is ready."

Plans haven't changed from this post. If we get a Dec update from Ferdafs, then it will be in that. If not, well, maybe Jan at some point? I'm not sure yet.

Once I release Part 7, it becomes "when is next update?!?" all over again... so I'm not in a rush.

man i just dont understand you
when ferdafs abandoned the game for the first time you made a update every month/every 2 months and you said yourself you didnt want to let players wait for too long - now its like half a year - the content is ready but apearently now its diffrent?

I can clarify for you. The first time around, I waited 6 months, the time I consider a game to most likely be abandoned, from when we last had an update from Ferdafs before I put anything out (we haven't hit 6 months yet). At the time, that had been the longest gap in game updates, and seemed reasonable that the game might be abandoned. Eventually, it took Ferdafs 9 months to put something out, but the game did continue (with only two updates this year, but still, two updates, not abandoned).

I've said many times, that my goal is not to continue the game on my own. It is to conclude it (if indeed Ferdafs is done) or port stuff over if he keeps making it. This means, the main way I want to release content, is to port the stuff Ferdafs is doing, not put out my own. The conclusion is the backup, the fall back, not new content.

In Jan, that will be a 6 month gap. I'll most likely release Part 7 and I can focus down on Part 8. Then people can ask when that will be ready...
