...and it's the second time so far I've lowered myself to see the purple leper and the tree squatter and my fucking life, they're even uglier the second time.
I would have said that "it's actually not that bad" and that I was just clout-chasing for internet points. But I finally got to the part where the game intros both girls, and the game showed me Greedent first, which knocked a lot of wind out of my sails, so my previous criticisms stand as such.

I have discovered a new kind of disappointment: Specifically the kind where you know already know how bad the situation is going to go, like, the writing as on the wall for months, including pictures. But because you weren't an active catalyst in how things were going down, you still had that sliver of optimism that things weren't going to be that bad. But then you eventually get involved/witness the bad thing happening, and it's still worse than you expected - like, you were expecting a 2/10 experience, but you got either a 1/10 or a 0/10. And now I'm in the cycle of waiting for Oni to fully implement characters so Prime can fix and improve the game.

[a few hours later]

Okay. I can say that Psylocke is not that bad, Still needs some work, but still got the job done. But my running thought when pursuing Doreen for the sake of prosperity is "...Why am I doing this?"

The update is great, but when an invitation to the "trisome" event occurs, all characters get the following error:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

It's working fine here, what exactly were the actions you did to get that error? Did you use a new save?

So, if I understand correctly, The Null Hypothesis is developing much faster despite having a smaller budget. It's transitioning from a mod to a full-fledged game that doesn't even resemble its original code anymore. It looks better, runs smoothly, and has a story (Juggernaut is freaking awesome). How on earth is anyone still supporting RL-E? Probably just out of sentiment... And just like CS went from a mod to a giant on Steam, I hope TNH delivers just as well.

Sure, I get that grinding and long-term hard work are important, but spending 8 years on a game that only has a few repetitive romantic storylines... even Duke Nukem Forever looked more ambitious in its trailers (all of them from 1997 to 2011...). RL-E doesn't even have a storyline... It's cool to finally get Emma Frost into bed, but... that's it. 8 years of work, and that's all. If houses were built as slowly as Patreons create games, we'd be fighting bears for available caves.

It all goes back to Oni not wanting anyone helping him. TNH has a team working on it, while Oni go-horses everything because he doesn't want help. And it's not for a lack of volunteers, many have offered to help for free.
As I see it they are completely different games. TNH is very linear and history driven, while RLE is much more of a sandbox with no real history. Both are great games, but TNH is only fun once you finish the story, meanwhile in RLE all you do is having fun with the girls.
I like both for what they are, but TNH still has a ton of potential to grow, while RLE has peaked and there's not much room for improvement, especially because Oni gives zero fucks (pun intended) to what his fan base wants and is not willing to improve on his work.

Its not like i give Oni any money, but RLE is special in how it works as a sandbox and shines with all the interactions you can come across randomly.
Besides, while i like how null is coming up, i really dislike how sappy and like a lame bitch the MC sounds in dialogue.

TNH is a game for people who dislike RLE not for its development woes or art, but for its formula. It does nothing for me.

Why do you people want story in your porn game!? Do you REALLY need context as to why a girl is sexy & you bang her cos she likes you?
Why are you attempting to be so involved in something? Just go read a fucking book oh my God. In fact there's thousands of books for men of erotic content.
I have nothing to say about null hypothesis outside I find it a snoozefest, most dialogue choices quite boring. The actual IF you get to it sex at best is slightly rubbing yourself awkward it's a jpeg in a jpeg moving while RLE is the same null uses live2d and it looks janky as fuck to me.

The MC is the biggest bitch in that game. Even when we try to stand up for ourself, hospital ward. Try to help someone, hospital ward. Help a granny cross a street? Hospital ward. Not to mention the dialouge is meh and cringe at times. Nor the fact that Jean has this cringey 'big sis-little bro' dynamic which makes zero sense. Laura wanting to be top does make sense but comes off as too strong. Rogue being submissive seems most natural and ACTUALLY isn't cringe.

The passive aggressive opinionated youth MC of NH kills a lot the game's enjoyment for me. He yaps a lot of regurgitated feel good nonsense. They added 3 different ways to "play" him but all of them read mostly the same way and there's no consequence to anything which is a shame

Oni's game is lacking in a lot of ways but its ludonarrative is on point. You don't need much dialogue to convey how our boy Zero can be a huge dick, a sweet guy, a weird pervert or a combination of all of the above, you can play him in different ways and the game reacts accordingly, even if it's a bit rudimentary. In that way actions speak louder than words
