Ren'Py Rogue-like: Evolution [v1.54b] [Oni]

[leathermax]

I might retry if someone drops a save with the first year skipped in the future, once there's enough to do in the sandbox part.
But the first part is awful at worst, if you don't dig the story, and boring to redo at best, because it take forever to go through it, even by Ctrl spam standards.

Here you go. Last played on v0.3a. Should have everything 100% up to that version.

Then I've got bad news for you:

TNH is a narrative focused dating simulator with sandbox elements that focuses on monogynous or polyamorous relationships.

Its another game that began as a mod for RLE.

That pic actually encapsulates a lot of the problems with TNH, they have a side character whose role it is to tell you that your playing the game wrong by talking down to you about it. Nightcrawler:"Heh, looks like you suck with women because you didn't bow before them and ask permission to make eye contact with her first." The game just has an almost antagonistic attitude towards the player is the feeling I get.

Really? I didn't take that as a talking down. If anything, he sounds like Clippy.

No I'm not.

No I'm not.

Shoot sorry. Got you confused with Buttholder. >.< How are you involved in the game's development? I'll correct my post.

No worries my dude. Hope your evening goes well.

Anon, i need you to hop in bed with Kitty, no questions asked...

On one hand - Kitty.
On the other... Charles.

This is one of them difficult life choices, innit? Not my preferred way to threesome, but still Kitty.

Also, dat expression on Charles' face is definitely not PG-rated.

I got through most of 0.2 then got kinda bored. Now no one shares saves for 0.3vDICK and they just laugh at you if ya ask. I get we meme on people for RLE but come on. Honestly once it's like 0.5/0.6 OR 0.7 I may pick it up again because you finish year one then it's sandbox okay sure. But there's a decent amount you kinda have to go through before that occurs and you get a little sex along the way.. except you don't you can get handjob and that's it until the "finale" of what's there currently.

Yes, I got bored too. At first everything was fine, but later the grind became so annoying that I just wanted to progress faster. When you run out of dialogue with girls, the sandbox part looks so shallow. It's just pointless grind for stats.
I love a good grind, that's why my favorite game genre is ARPG and sandbox, but this is not it.
I don't have a problem with the story, but I think it would have been better if it was just a VN.

"Oh new update. Let's see if study bug is fixed." NOT!

study bug?

i'm more concerned with how they all suddenly have a key to my locked door, even though i have never given any one a key... even on a new game i restarted just to test...
never mind the whole, they whip yours out but if you try to touch them, never mind undress-them and they don't want too....

See thats something that pisses me off.
Technically we play as mute characters and theres some slight roleplay with the answers in the game.
But somehow Null feels like an asskissing bitch whie Zero just feels like a horny dumbass.

Thanks, dude. The first time I played until the Juggernaut guy came by and knocked Null unconscious. Then he woke up and was so obsessed with checking Rogue that I puked a little, so the story is definitely not for me. I hope the sex scenes are at least good.

Nightcrawler:"Heh, looks like you suck with women because you didn't bow before them and ask permission to make eye contact with her first."

Fr. Most of the answers are either cheesy or bland, and if you want dem sweep points and shorten the overly massive grind, you have to pick the cheesy ones more often than not. And when the MC gets some free willed dialogue, the mf sounds so lame, that it's like the result of allowing the cliché anime protagonist the ability to say "fuck". The game is a true fanfic. And I learned those are no good by age 19. Which, admitedly, is pretty late.

I don't know, 50 Shades of Grey did pretty well as a franchise.
Jokes aside.

If you have then ren'py console turned on. The variable for each character is (case sensitive):
Player
Rogue
Jean
Laura

Their stats are in (again, case sensitive):
.trust
.love
.stamina
.max_stamina

The player also has (again, case sensitive):
.cash
.XP
.stat_points
.ability_points

For example and for those that are new to how to use the ren'py console. Open it and type:
Player.cash
and hit return to get the cash value.
Player.cash=50000
to set the cash to 50000.

There's also .XP_goals, but I don't recommend messing with those as it might mess the game up.

That's how I skipped/lessened the grind.



Maybe I should make a cheat injector for TNH...

That's a good idea, really. If they halved all the chat events or at least spread them more throughout the years, and we could get to the sweet buns a bit faster, at least the gameplay would be bearable.

Well, if people want it. Just not today though. I want to get more done my side project. I'll dive into the sources tomorrow or Sunday (UTC+8 here) to see what can be done.

No hurries, mate. Just the fact you're gonna delve on it is good news.

That would be nice.

Throws me off that we have both Zero and Null since I usually used Null as Zero's name before TNH even existed. Probably not the case but I wonder if my old question about what names people used has anything to do with it
