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

[BeeGee]

The game is cool, if a bit complicated, but I have one big gripe with it. Why in the name of god did he make MC look like a walking corpse? He is just out of place ugly. Also, graphics, story and writing, in general, are kinda bad but whatever. What I like most about this game is that you can turn all the girls into braindead sex slaves which is kinda fun. But god damn, the MC looks hideous...

In the beginning, the plan was to have Billy bulk up over the course of the story, but the dev realized that would require far too many more renders, so stick Billy remains the default.
Think of him like Deadpool. A cancer patient with superpowers.
You get used to it.

[Sanders2100]

for first time - better with no mods at all. just for reason to know what exactly you didn`t like (if there is). then choose mod(or play without any - someone likes it more).

I like the game play. As for if it is "good", that's pretty subjective.

A save really isn't very useful in this game. There is no gallery and scenes can vary depending on current conditions (Favor, Lust, Love, Inhibition, Corruption, mental health) and some are non-repeatable.

A "full save" at this point in the game puts Billy having graduated from school with nothing to do. The repeatable insanity(some of -- others are locked out), sex, and booty call scenes can be seen. The NCHDL missions and scenes can't be seen. The Pixie plot can't be seen. The graduation party can't be seen. The in-school vignettes can't be seen.

 

[sillyrobot]

A recent failed attempt to graduate in the first year spurred a couple of existential questions:

Why can't Billy graduate from school without dealing with Pixie -- whose only involvement with the school is she recruited another student? Couldn't Billy graduate and then finish dealing with her on his own time? It's not like their activity of the last 5+ weeks in known to the school.

Why can't Billy talk to Principal Larson about getting Derek on the soccer team before tutoring Tamara 10 times? (this is why I failed -- I had forgotten / never knew the exact trigger to activate the soccer option and I didn't immediately tutor Tamara every day for 2 weeks straight and thus ran out of time):

If you abide by the suggestions offered by the characters in-game (tutor Derek and Tamara once a week) you cannot graduate. If you try to include Tamara in the club, you cannot graduate. If you follow Derek long enough to discover which woman he is interested in, you cannot graduate. If you fail to start the club at the earliest opportunity, you cannot graduate. If you fail to complete a mission inside of a week because you forgot to launch the RNG check by going to class, you are threatening your ability to graduate.

The key date is when the club is formed. If accomplished too late, the player can do nothing to recover. Any additional delay finishing a club mission simply adds more risk. Worse, there is no indication they are under time pressure from this apparent secondary activity until the player is denied graduation.

Fundamentally, the requirements to reach graduation are over-tuned. Yes, you can get there if you do everything exactly right. But the game, especially the early game, should involve some exploration and potential recovery from non-optimal choices. Especially choices where the triggers (tutoring Tamara 10 times) are disassociated with the effect (getting Derek on the soccer team).

There's a lot to be seen at school, but if you wish to graduate you cannot take the time to look. When Baal7734 does take the time to retune this stretch, I hope he allows for non-optimal play to succeed. Adding 4 weeks is probably insufficient. It would allow a few more possibilities to succeed, but probably still lead to major frustration when the player realizes they need to complete the whole year again.

If you try to include Tamara in the club, you cannot graduate. If you follow Derek long enough to discover which woman he is interested in, you cannot graduate.

You can do either of these things and still graduate. You can't do both, though.

I posted a detailed timeline on how to recruit both characters and finish the NCHDL storyline in time to graduate two months ago. I presume you've read it since it was to answer to you, and you answered to the post.

But Derek is useless for most of the year if you do that. So if you want to play his storyline and still graduate, you need to forgo Tamara and recruit Crissie instead. Basically you can either have an useful Tamara with Derek as goalie, or an useful Derek without Tamara. Choose depending on whose storyline you want to see.

As I like Sandra, Derek can go fuck himself in my games: goalie, then I never use him in missions. He's useless anyway, except for fighting, and my Billy can handle that. For all the super-sleuth stuff, Freddy and Tamara are better choices.

Yeah, I was working off that from memory. I had the principal offering Chrissy, but a few weeks went by without being offered the Derek conversation. I broke down and looked at the source and realized tutoring Tamara was a necessary step I'd missed. The nine extra sessions would push me out a week too far.

I use Derek for maybe a mission at the start of the club depending on the missions pulled (like car thefts) before Billy gets combat powers. I only use Tamara if I want her secondary scenes.

Is it still buggy as hell?

 

[Deleted member 3527253]

My lord, the MC looks like an Ancient Egyptian mummy that just got over his heroin addiction. Seriously, what is with this design? Does he stay like that the whole game because if so...

 

[sillyrobot]

Is it still buggy as hell?

Compared to when?

There are two buggy/annoying paths currently.

The clique missions in school have the problem where the nerd mission gets kicked off in the middle of one of the others (most commonly for me the cheerleader's). This ends up with one mission stuck only partially complete.

The NCHDL plot line can be brought to an early completion.

 

[new2021]

Compared to when?

Compared to version 3x. When I tried it in 2019 it was completely unplayable because of bugs. Despite this, the game already had pretty big fanbase.

Hmm. Odd. I started my guide at version 31 and posted it towards the end of 32. I've never run onto serious game play bugs -- at least after a first week hotfix or two.

Why can't Billy graduate from school without dealing with Pixie

From a design perspective, Pixie is the story boss of the school chapter. The graduation occurs afterward as it is the reward for chapter completion.

If the game is going to require graduation to occur on a specific date (reflective of real world graduations), there should probably be some form of QoL calendar skip offered once the graduation requirements are met.
