VN Ren'Py Superhuman [v0.996 Public] [WeirdWorld]

[Edvin]

Protagonist should be able to negate his weakness to electricity using genetic information from electric eels.
Maybe it could even give him some form of energy attack.

Poisoned tentacles charged with electricity?
That sounds pretty deadly...

 

[Mandoto]

yeah, I was wondering about venom during the Aldain boss fight. Why not grow some venom barbs on your gorilla knuckles? But mc later internalizes that venom tentacles are hardest to make out of his arsenal, so fusing new forms is not something you can do on the fly during hard fight. But with evolution and practice, MC can create some seriously powerful battle forms, like greatest animal traits on various body parts, like implementing actual human-sized mantis shrimp punch.

I think the MC will end up having to directly expose his body to the various substances he has trouble creating, since he seems to have trouble creating anything that his body is unfamiliar with. How that could play into creating metal efficiently I don't know, maybe he'll have to get stabbed a bunch.

I'm also hoping for an arc in the training events where the MC just goes really hard studying chemistry and biology to see if a scientific understanding of the animals he shifts into would give any advantage, I also think it would be cool and potentially useful for him to try to isolate and combine certain chemicals in or outside of his body to create chemical reactions.

And in the middle of the bossfight BOOOM *whops, wrong stuff*
I dont think it would be that useful. He evolves, so maybe the biological approach could bring some benefits in the short run to improve some abilities, from a working landing to a better hearing/smelling and some natural instincts for better reflexes or as mentioned useful abilities you dont have (activated) until now...but considering your mutations abilities there is not much to learn, you can see many more light spectrum than any species, you can transform and heal fast and without being poisoned you got the ability to create some kind of venom...for now you dont know anything about it, is it universal? Does it work on mutated organisms? Humans? How long does it take to work? Can you only kill with it or is it possible to disable people, put them to sleep? Can you mix some of your pheromones in a very light dose to lower the victims defenses and influence them? I wouldnt be surprised if you can crate some followers like your zombie slave with it, but i think you need to learn a little more about it if you want your groupies still look and act human...all this stuff is training and observation, i dont think there is much to learn from other species after we learn to handle our own abilities, but there may be some shortcuts.

OK, I must admit... this was the coolest update to this game so far. It was amazing to see the MC beating Klaus until he injected himself with a drug and returned to his second form, looking like those RPG games!
The fight was legendary, really... all the MC training was worth it for that fight. The evolution of the MC during the fight finally happened... because I was wondering when it would happen and how it would be!

I could see the MC's face, i was wondering what it would be like and it was beyond my expectations. Ella looks like she's up to something since she's playing Jake against MC... from what I saw here at the end of the chapter, Jake is forcing me to take some serious action!

Anyway, I'm waiting for the next chapter God only knows when. man, that dead end 15 was too dumb, just because I saw the naked woman in the locker room at the beach event. it's again, a week at play is very little but it was worth it!

I don't see how it wouldn't be useful. Being able concoct an acid or flammable liquid at will has tons of uses; protect your mouth and spit acid into someone's eyes, spew some kind of gasoline like substance at someone and toss a lighter at them, hell even the possibility of breathing fire if the MC were to structure his mouth safely. Sure a lot of that isn't as useful as just battering or stabbing in most situations, but has the potential to be life saving in others. How little it would be used also minimizes the chance of the MC accidentally blowing himself up, alongside training and studying, it would be next to 0.

As for the venom, it's explicitly stated that it's derived from venomous jellyfish and stingrays, which are capable of killing humans in as little as 2 minutes depending on the location and amount of flesh that came into contact with the venom, and like I said; it debilitates Ella in one bad end. It also forces Klaus to take the forced evolution drug in another bad end. So we do know it is very dangerous. There are probably some whose powers enable them to be completely unaffected by it, but the few superhumans we've been able to use it on have been heavily disabled by it.

Also, I don't really see how studying more living things wouldn't be useful. There are reptiles and sea creatures capable of detaching limbs at will, parasites capable of controlling other creatures, a beetle capable of shooting boiling hot water and other caustic liquids, and even more crazy shit. Obviously now since the MC has a whole new set of abilities, it would be better to master those first, but adding new tricks up his sleeve when he has downtime or reached his current limit, would be helpful in a pinch.

It's a nice idea, but I don't think mc is the type to benefit from science study. He looks like the ultimate doppelganger, in the way he copies even neuron structure of the brain to read memories, but he can't "forge" new stuff out of atoms. Though DNA study could help out to create stable hybrid forms, I doubt mc has enough time or smarts to become even remotely close to proper geneticist. Just leave it to Daryl to come up with some science tricks.

I'm guessing the next step is getting more templates for inorganic material like heat-resistant tungsten and such, or creating diamonds out of body carbon(maybe have some reserves stored in the body), and evolution above that is starting to copy abilities from other monster genomes , if only the basic stuff like passive "distraction aura" of Jake, for example.

 

[Porntatonist]

Weird, I can't see anything wrong in your log. It should be working fine. The only thing I can think of is that because I made the build using renpys newest version it fucked something and is incompatible with your comp for some reason.

Maybe give this one a try if you can be bothered.

You must be registered to see the links

This one worked for me. Started without any issue.

I have a question: Was Liz NTR some sort of patreon request? Because the content just seems so out of place in comparison to the rest of the game (indeed it's the only content of its nature in the game).

 

[Raizeki]

Man, i dowload for the porn and stayed for the history, wtf. This game is a blast, i

I HONESTLY WAS SO FUCKING HYPED IN CHARLIE AND OSCAR FIGHT, THAT WAS BRILLIANT

From what I remember he was planning it from the beginning.

The patron poll requests have been largely genderbender.

 

[WeirdWorld]

NTR was planned from the beginning, as was trap, gender bender, futa and all that weird fetish shit. The frequency of which they appear depending on the patreon polls I threw up. The general thought was include a bunch of shit for the variety, but in hindsight, I prob ended up stretching myself a bit thin with it all. Originally it was just gonna be a one-off scene, prob should have stuck with that.
But what can you do? The NTR is too popular with the patreons currently to cut it, so that's not happening, besides, cutting a story arc would just annoy me anyway. As for it seeming out of place, it only seems that way now because I've barely gotten into it, this NTR route is slightly less typical than what you'd usually see, or at least from what I've seen(which isn't a lot I'll admit), it'll take a little while to get to that point though. Unless of course you just generally don't like NTR, in which case it will prob always look out of place to you.

 

[Virulenz]

From my point of view it would be kinda pointless to have such powers and dont kill everyone who touches my girls *gg*
So just keep it avoidable and focus on the main story, especially if you keep using such cruel cliffhangers ^^

 

[mannice431]

Snip

May i just add that this is a great game so far (i'm planning to become a patreon supporter), it seems strange to say it but this games resembles a shonen manga (what with all the battles and powering up) and it manages to do so in a game that is pretty engaging.

Good job so far

Edit: How often is this updated? 3+ months?

 

[Incombat]

cliffhangers are crucial in episodic type of work, people would lose interest otherwise. Good job on those, WeirdWorld, some stopping points were brilliant, like that car crash. Just when one shitshow is over, you are thrown into another, but not deep enough to wonder "who are all these people and what is happening" next time you load your save

Thats something for a prologue or for a planed second game that continues a story. But after playing this much you dont need it anymore to come back and devour every update with passion. I'd prefer to just start and play on instead of questioning the whole time between the cliffhanger and the next update if one of my favorite devs killed my favorite girl, especially in a case when it was a guy i already wanted to kill since multiple updates...such things make me more hesitant and even angry instead of hyping. The shitshows can start with the new updates, no need to test my impatience in the worst possible way every time

No comment about the NTR I enjoy most every fetish content (except the weird extreme ones) just wanted to say your doing a great job on this game one of the best ones on this site for sure it's why I keep coming back every update I really enjoy demi my favorite character for sure great job with everything

I'm curious if the MC's (and other superhumans) standard enhancements affect learning ability or smarts in general, we don't really know since he has skipped probably 95% of his classes up to this point, and slept through the other 5%.

Or, if he's able able to steal or absorb knowledge through reading other's memories, he was able to get a pretty good grasp on Klaus' powers from Danica in a short time. It would be pretty easy to just sit down with Deryl one day and ask him a bunch of questions regarding relevant topics, but he's you know, unavailable now.

pfff, yeah, ideal world exist in parallel universe somewhere. We all just want to binge excellent media and not have to wait for it to be made or be patched to perfect form *cough* Cyberpunk *cough*. I'm just saying, there are worse ways to end the content updates, WeirdWorld is being smart about it. I bet you wouldn't be so "ravenous" for each update if most only had side content, like after-party talks with psychologist and some introduction events for new characters, but no casino trip at all yet, and you just get "that's all for now". And don't say "there should be completed arcs each update", that would force dev to either release updates way slower(and risk falling into river of oblivion along all the other unfinished projects), or cut tons of content.

Also, wtf, cliffhangers at the game end are fine? There's a difference between teasers and cliffhangers, I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing here anymore. My example of cliffhanger - end of Dead Space 3. We have 0 idea about the characters fates, and if what we did during the whole game made things better, worse, or mattered at all. It was so bad they even had to make epilogue DLC .That's a sequel bait in it's worst form.
And example of a teaser would be Horizon Zero Dawn ending. Character arcs are resolved, new direction for them shown, antagonist painted, and new challenges and questions hinted at.

TLDR: if you hate cliffhangers so much - wait for the game to finish(that's what I generally do for early access games I liked), but your personal preference doesn't make them bad from business/audience interest standpoint.

That's a great point about copying memory from Deryl for some serious knowledge, though I'm worried it would make mc's brain come out his ears
