VN Ren'Py Superhuman [v0.9999a Beta] [WeirdWorld]

[Abraxas!!!!]

Nyx's mark only works if there is a body to begin with, and Nyx also needing to actually be there to revive someone.

 

[Abraxas!!!!]

In the scene where he gets the mark it flashes and then disappears. She herself wasn't sure if it even stuck. It probably didn't, MC's body ate it or some shit.

The mark is still there, we can interact with it during MC's memory training with Syla

 

[chuck899]

Not having sex scene imagery on the introductory post doesn't really help me deciding to give the game a try. The amazing reviews do though.

Is anal a thing in the game or is it just like one scene for the tag?

Just play it, but remember that it's a story focused game, the porn is just icing on the cake. There's a few anal scenes yeah.

Why do we think Nyx has any connection to an Arbiter? I found the

where the question of what the origins of Nyx's powers are was asked, and frankly what was said doesn't at all support the idea that she has any connection to an Arbiter. When asked if her powers came from an Apostle, an S rank monster or a weak monster, WeirdWorld simply confirms Nyx didn't get her powers from an Apostle, and beyond that to speculate on it ourselves. I can definitely see why some would latch onto that interpretation, considering how busted Nyx's powers are. But with Ella being able to identify what monster turned Nyx with the eyes she earned by completing a Rite, and the fact that it seems dual traits are a hard requirement for stuff like Soul, I heavily doubt it myself.

She probably does have some mixed lineage of Light and Darkness in her though. According to the speeches they give on the paths of god, they grant and end life respectively. But I'd guess she skews more towards Darkness, considering the anti-magic properties of her powers and having a natural connection to the Dream World with her little river Nyx of souls.

Yeah this is either a hearing comprehension moment or an assumption... I guess that could be taken to mean that her powers come from beyond the apostles, and I can see someone who's not paying full attention mixing up the sentence, but beyond that there's nothing concrete pointing to an arbiter background for her powers.

 

[Zolrazz]

Yeah but the other guy is saying WW told him that her powers are beyond an apostle, that's a crazy claim because it means Nyx could be stronger than the big 3, or confirm that the big 3 can stomp the apostles as Nyx isn't as strong as them.

I seriously hope WW was just taking the piss there. And this whole arc's point? Fucked if I knew, idk what does Ella gain from starting this shitshow, get rid of the big 3 with the Apostles? Make the Eye be born so he can fuck everybody in the end? How does she expect it to work if HERO has the big 3 who, according to this claim, can literally stop it with the other Captains working together.

Sure earth is going to take a hit, might not even survive the aftermath, but then you have Henry who can literally say "Nope, earth is fine" and given his control of Truth and Fantasy he can make that happen. Nah fam, WW probably trolling.

As I said in my previous comment, everything Weird said could be a lie, he said it himself

So what he said may well be him joking, but let's leave that aside for now

When I asked him about the origin of Nyx's powers, he just said: “No, her powers don't come from an Apostle, but beyond that”.

It's up to us to speculate and make theories, he didn't say anything more than that

That's not what he said. He said "It doesn't come from an apostle, and beyond that, speculate on it yourself".

You can see that in what KKStrider sent above.

 

[TONYCHAOS]

i haven't played this game for a long time is the dev planning to revamp the old art ?

 

[Abraxas!!!!]

Yes, 1.0 should be when basically all the old art is remade, and apparently next update he might be updating the sprites already.

Maybe in 6 years he wants to finish the game

The bastard just admitted to me that Nxy's powers are, in fact, beyond an apostle's, their origin

Then phrase that shit better, you put that as Nyx's powers go beyond an Apostle's powers (as in surpassing these mfers). I ain't a native but it would've done wonders if you had come and said "Nyx's powers originate not from an Apostle line but from something beyond that", and even that is a weird claim with what Ella said about Nyx's monster. She's just a case similar to Malik and Bernie, though their monsters may be lower ranked, its still the same in the sense that her powers evolved beyond what that monster could do.

My mistake, sorry

I feel like you're saying that to complain, but if there's 6 more years of content for this masterpiece, that's just pure heaven in a can.

the NTR scene of Liz in the woods is very hot, i wish there was more of that.

It's been stated that your monster parent has no bearing on how strong you become

 

[KingAgamemnon]

It's been stated that your monster parent has no bearing on how strong you become

Eh, from what I've seen I'm not sure I can agree. Yes, it has been said in game that your genes and mental state are the true deciding factors, but the narrative we are shown strongly implies the monster parent does have a strong influence. Like, we know that Michael is not genetically predisposed to Power, yet it was Power's avatar that gave him his powers. Similarly, the person Michael used as bait did indeed get powers similar to the monster that got him. We, the MC who are predisposed to both Body and Memory, were transformed by either of those Apostle's avatars. Deryl was transformed by the Rebis, and Kenny was transformed by one of those oil monsters. There is an incredibly strong correlation, despite the characters saying otherwise, between the monster that transforms you and the powers you get upon becoming a superhuman.

Kenny is the worst example you could have picked and nowhere near proving anything. The dude was some shithead, first off, and didn't exactly try to get stronger. He just got attacked and was too weak-willed to overcome turning into a monster.
It's not like he had been like that for months and did what he could to get stronger.
Dude was basically someone bitten during a zombie apocalypse : he turned shortly after, attacked, and got trashed.

Deryl showed that, despite his monster parent not being exactly one of the most powerful fighter there are, it's how you use your capabilities that matter. Had his plan gone without issue, he'd have probably overpowered the MC.

And the MC isn't a good example either, because Plot Armor.

As for Michael, there's a lot we don't yet know about his case, I'd say it's too early to tell much.

Ah, I may have misunderstood strength as meaning "what powers you get". I now realize it was in reference to actual strength. My bad. Yes, I agree with this wholeheartedly.

 

[Rutonat]

Yeah. Any power is ultimately meaningless if it's not cultivated. Even a power as strong, on paper, as Michael's would be a fart in the wind if he didn't have the drive to learn to use it better.

I mean, look at the MC. His powers technically don't predispose him for fighting. So, compatibility and the identity of the monster parents is ultimately only telling one thing : the inherent potential.
But even that doesn't do much on its own. It really boils down to the drive of the user and their intelligence in how to use it.

I think that, if someone like Tess for example had gotten the MC's powers, she'd be far from where he is with the same amount of time. The main difference being that he wanted to control his powers more, while she'd likely have used it solely for fucking.

Any good power, given to someone who's personality is unfitting, isn't gonna go far. Like, look at that asshat Jake, for example. Sure, guy's smart, but ultimately his willpower is absolutely lacking, because deep down he's just a bully-bait.
Give a power like that to a more power-hungry character, however ? That would be a disaster for everyone around.

Rutonat has covered most of this but just my two cents tho, as not only will is needed. There are some "Rituals" and of course the natural instinct each Superhuman inherits from their monster lineage.

Malik and Bernhardt are the living proof your monster origin has no impact in how powerful a superhuman can get bro. Some superhumans do have an early advantage, hell even an Apostle's blessing in some cases, but it's up to the Superhuman to overcome the rituals imposed (Like the Dreamworld/Memory connection part for the MC) in their path to reach their peak and follow their instincts in order to grow (I.E. MC's case he must eat foes for their bodies/memories).

The cheat code is Xanthe's serum that bypasses this process, which is why some folk believe artificially leveled superhumans can't hold a candle to those who got there naturally (tho we only know of 3 Superhumans who reached that stage in this way). But even with that serum a Superhuman must simply have the ambition to grow.

Perhaps doing those rituals, like the ones we've seen Michael has to take are the key to reach the level 5 naturally.

I think that, if someone like Tess for example had gotten the MC's powers, she'd be far from where he is with the same amount of time. The main difference being that he wanted to control his powers more, while she'd likely have used it solely for fucking.

The MC who fucks everything in sight:
