VN Ren'Py Superhuman [v0.999] [WeirdWorld]

[Jakitojakito]

MC is more ambush predator than straight up fighter. All his winning tactics so far (attack quickly with full force, run away when the tide starts to shift, hide and reset, start again) are all very similar to IRL ambush predators. For example, if he sneaks up on Alice or Michael, injects them with a gazillion litres of venom and fucks off before they get a hit back and disappears thanks to his unparalleled stealth, there's very little they can realistically do in retaliation. Well, Alice catch him in a gravity well but even that can be baited if MC acts through a proxy tail clone.

Alice and Michael definitely have flashy and destructive moves, but MC isn't necessarily lagging their either, like when he matched Cole's heat beam that touched the clouds above with his own giant scythe move, and was even able to beat it and shatter a good part of the surrounding architecture if he passed a Power check. We just haven't seen him in a serious solo fight for a long time now.

True. We've seen so much about Alice, Michael, Amber and Liz that it looks like Deryl and Mc are being overshadowed. We could say they got their big moment in Cole's fight but that felt more like Cole's big moment, you know, evolution, power ups, glimpses of his past.

I just NEED Deryl and Mc once again in the spot light just like in old times in next update.

Is there any interesting lore or benefits from choosing the Eye instead of the Horn from the shopkeeper? +10 power from the Horn is hard to give up.

The eye can be used as a bargaining chip later in the story, in the Battle of the Diamonds, in the choice where you and Deryl part ways, if you go left, and chose the Eye instead of the Horn, you can choose one of the following things:

• Plan: {You will ask about Ella’s Plan.}

• Worship: {You will ask who the Monsters Worship.}

• Powers: {You will ask why Monsters give Humans Powers.}

• Come From: {You will ask where the Monsters Come From.}

• Greatest Power: {You will ask what the Greatest Power is.}

• Give Strength: {You will ask for Power.}{You will get +10 Power
points.}

• Improve Skill: {You will ask for Skill.} {You will get +3 Skill points.}

Slight point of clarification: You get one of those regardless of if you have the Eye or not, if you go left. The Eye lets you pick two options, or double up on the Power or Skill.

Oh ok, thanks, I just wrote that based on the walkthrough, since I always pick the horn

The interesting lore part is that the eye belongs to one of Aglaecwif dead children and she damn near snaps at MC about it. We also learn a bit about Shopkeep powers too.

I believe you cannot double on Power or Skill if you selected it before

I'm wondering what happened to tiffany and her sister while we were in the monster world

 

[Jonathan Y]

Maybe but we've seen Aglæcwif deal both indirectly and directly with Malik and she wasn't quaking in her boots. She's the one whose mentioned that she's seen this all before and predicts that it will all play out as it has in the past.

But my biggest reason is story logic, unless 1 or more of the big 3 end up being the big bad, there's going to be a bigger fish, I would put money on Indra being more powerful than any of them individually, he was probably the Bernhardt of his world.

You know I also was counting on Indra being the one to match Malik, but after the last update ? Not so sure anymore.

Nothing good I fear, Xanthe did threaten Dexter that if he isn't given full authority they would not survive the invasion if I'm not mistaken, and he did name Tiffany AND Claudia I believe for experimentation.
Now that I think about it a little, Xanthe and Tanos might've re-joined forces for a temporary alliance, since Tanos and Xanthe aren't really enemies the same way their respective organizations are.

I believe the Mc is gonna rejoin a HERO that has abandoned most pretenses of morality in the face of the invasion.

i hope we actually get a choice to pick a side

i think hero and sin will be (reluctantly) allies at this point, everything else would be really stupid if what we saw of earth was w worldwide occurence and not just an exception

i mean sin is on the side of monsters and if earth is getting destroyed they can just hide in a different dimension while i don't think hero can so they can just wait for hero to die so why would they ally with them? and the monster invasion just gives sin more troops.

Uh no? Sin "recruited" the monsters (aos & co) as allies against the monsters invading earth

aos and his army act against the wishes of the apostels (or whoever really wants/decides all this stuff)

at least thats how i understood it.

ok when the fuck did sin recruit them? plus aos said mcs dad he didn't say sin and aos only wants to save earth because he has some human left, his army just wants blood and murder. and sin literally said that they will get as many monsters as they can multiple times throughout the story. and i doubt sins leader will help or team with hero seeing as how he likes keeping his secrets. and aos isn't fighting just against the apostles plus they aren't the only ones involved in this cycle of human worlds getting destroyed and he doesn't even know who's actually in control no one we have met so far does and if they do why would they tell us and how would they know? and i doubt even his entire army or even hero can do shit against it seeing as how multiple worlds that had more powerful and smarted beings then them got wiped out and even he himself literally died and is on borrowed times.

Aos and MC's dad are working with Tanos, and Tanos is basically S.I.N's leader...

 

[Krytax123]

Aos said Tanos is their boss. Steven and Syla are/were involed too. Seems like Syla started (the preparations for) a rebellion and Tanos was part of it like Aos.

and aos only wants to save earth because he has some human left, his army just wants blood and murder. and sin literally said that they will get as many monsters as they can multiple times throughout the story. and i doubt sins leader will help or team with hero seeing as how he likes keeping his secrets. and aos isn't fighting just against the apostles plus they aren't the only ones involved in this cycle of human worlds getting destroyed and he doesn't even know who's actually in control no one we have met so far does and if they do why would they tell us and how would they know? and i doubt even his entire army or even hero can do shit against it seeing as how multiple worlds that had more powerful and smarted beings then them got wiped out and even he himself literally died and is on borrowed times.

Bro ... what are you saying here? I genuiely dont know whats the point of this text other than that you think sins leaders wouldnt ally with hero for the defense of mankind because he likes .. his secrets ???

I agree it would be really stupid. I also think it's going to happen. All the players involved want roughly the same thing, "humanity not being killed by monsters", but they all want it to happen on their own terms so they can be the ones on top of the heap when it all settles out. I can all too easily imagine S.I.N. and H.E.R.O. sabotaging each others' plans instead of coordinating, because they're arrogant enough to think they can fight a war against the monsters and their fellow humans at the same time.

 

[OnlineRando]

Tanos isn't formally in charge, but he does have a lot of influence on the organization. Officially Langdon and his fellow megacorp CEO friends are the ones in charge, but Tanos will probably gain more and more control over S.I.N. as they turn to his scientific expertise for solutions.

Yeah that's fair enough. The point is, he is also against the invasion, since he's working with Aos. Or at least, Aos thinks he is.

 

[Dinoflaggelate]

Yeah. I'm really looking forward to next update so we can get the conversation with Stephen where he explains what's going on with his working for Tanos. What's Tanos' plan, or at least what is the plan he tells people? It seems like he's working on three or four separate ideas at once, which speaks to him being a good manipulator but makes it unclear what he's actually doing.

sin has only said they want superhumans alive not humans as a whole so yeah while heros wants all humans alive with possibly the vast majority being superhumans so yeah.
