Ren'Py Completed SuperPowered [v0.45.02] [Night City Productions]

[Anonymous88]

I have no idea what this part is about or if you're calling me a cornhole.
I also don't know why you're referring to a post that's two weeks old and a statement in fact.
I don't care one way or the other if there's an Android build, I was informing the poster on that day that any android builds will only happen if someone can be bothered to make one.
FFS, comprehension is important here. A statement of fact requires no answer as it is not a question.

I've never seen "cornhole" used as an insult unironically. Unless they were censoring themselves from worse words (which we're all too familiar with if we're on this site) or trying to soften a comment they thought was too harsh, I think they were joking...Probably.

Either way, I'd prefer to be called a silly name like cornhole as opposed to some of the harsher comments I've seen in the past, so kudos on being merely a cornhole~

This is slightly off topic but while my experience is similar, I met two girls from the US (who don't know each other most probably, different instances) who actually use euphemistic swear words unironically because the real ones would be really bad. So yeah, it happens. (Not a comment on this particular instance, just a more general observation)

 

[HillDweller]

while all this talk about the semantics of euphemisms is very interesting, can we go back to the talk about what went wrong in this game's design?
You're all clearly Ivy League material and I appreciate y'all, but let's go back to porn, fellas

Well, in my opinion the story is as simple as it seems. Dev got in over his head with what he wanted to do vs what he could do, engine wasn't ideal. Nothing too deep really.

Why no abanoned tag?

 

[Sanders2100]

Why no abanoned tag?

because Baal suppose to release some final parts of game before moving on... i think so at least
you can read it by yourself

Alas, the game is now effectively dead. Baal7334 posted the following on the discord.

Well that and the dev got himself corralled by his patrons into working almost exclusively on the 9 women in the school before building out additional game play (which seriously increased burn out) and apparently, based on the last confessional, is struggling with the conversations / textual narratives between Billy and the women.

He's also become disenchanted with aspects of the game design -- specifically how complex adding a character has become because of how rich a game world he initially wanted. 3 different types of insanity, 4-6 different outfits, and multiple poses based on a combination of Inhibition, Corruption, Anger, and Fear means a lot of posing / rendering required for what is probably limited payout for any specific player.

By and large these aren't engine concerns. Not to say any particular engine can't impact how easy or hard the posing / rendering / narrative is, but really they are a combination of game design, app architecture, and dev capability considerations.

Actually the many different poses according to the different variables were a huge payout for me. May be an individual thing but it was a good way to communicate the different developments outside of stats. It may not be worth the amount of time invested into it, but it was a great thing for me.

 

[RemoraDFC]

Hopefully the Dev considers taking on someone to help, to prevent burnout.
I am hoping this title continues. And perhaps we see a return of the cellphone event replay option that was removed.
It was a handy checklist to help guide players to which events remain to unlock.

I like them too. It provides a sense of agency / player driven effect on the sandbox. That said, I generally only see maybe 10% of the poses even in a long game --- many simply don't appear when I apply my preferred play style because they're designed to acknowledge a different one. It is one of his acknowledged issues though - the complexity if adding a new character because all variations need to be accounted for. It's also why adding the 9 women at school took multiple years to complete. I find it a combination of sad and ironic that the dev is stopping shortly after finally clearing that hurdle and has a chance to move on to further development.

It will surely be different in next games

 

[Squark ⚧❤️]

So Baal is moving entirely to Unity now.
This is good, one less engine to wrestle with.

Is there a list of Flaws to Powers somewhere and if so where?

Is there a list of Flaws to Powers somewhere and if so where?

The wiki discusses it.

You must be registered to see the links

There's one flaw per power set.

Enhanced Senses -public masturbation whenever willpower is reduced to zero
Flight - attraction to older women (principal)
Mind Control - incestuous attraction (mom, sister)
Sympathic Link - attraction to younger appearing women (sister, Chelsea, Allie)
Psychosism - attraction to insanity (nurse Anne plus any women whom you've inflicted insanities on)
Kinesis - sadism, lose willpower in combat when you inflict damage
Armor of Terra - masochism, lose willpower in combat when hurt
Polymorphism - bisexuality, though not supported much in the game
Mercurial speed - exhibitionism, less willpower gained from public masturbation

Brilliance, Humanitas, and Herculean Might are talked about in-game, but are not in the game and thus have no defined flaws.

The Wikia website has everything you are looking for. It is mostly complete. Some gaps, but it is 98% what you need.
There is no single page with the info you seek. You need to review each power and see the flaws gained from each.

It will also show you any beneficial passive perks gained (example: Mind Control = Work Ethic Perk = +5% success chance to work tasks producing positive results). So there are both beneficial side effects as well as flaws. Enjoy!

what is needed to make sister and mother not be disgusted over sex

what is needed to make sister and mother not be disgusted over sex

several methods you can use. You can mind control them and change their personality to become more corrupt. If you also use the ability to link Lust+another action, then anytime you do that action it will increase their Lust.

It sounds like what your looking for is Corruption though. So you need to grind the small favor then Large Favor to discuss personal matters. If you are successful, it will increase their Corruption by +1. After reaching certain benchmarks, they become more Corrupt. Openly wearing more revealing clothes (or less clothes). They also become more open to sexual actions or start performing their own.

Another method is the shower. If you Shower in morning there is a small chance to meet Sister, Afternoon for Mom. If you are successful, refuse letting them shower first, eventually they will become more comfortable around you naked (ie: more corrupt). Events can unlock, where Sister or Mother choose to shower with you and perhaps do other actions with you.

As mentioned, there are many ways to increase Corruption. Easiest 2 methods are Showers and personal discussions. Though the watching TV together can also be a method.

Mom corruption is at 90 and she still won't even kiss.

Mom corruption is at 90 and she still won't even kiss.

You have to overcome the incest barrier. Billy wanting them doesn't mean they want Billy.

Two main choices: drive them insane by inflicting Nymphomania or Obsession or use rank 2+ Mind Control and establish the "Family Ties" suppression.

The latter is more permanent and has fewer secondary effects, but occupies the Suppression slot .
