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

[alex2011]

I would consider the grind the type you should expect from a sandbox, which this is to an extent. As for the project itself, I don't see the cast being too large to be the primary issue itself, it was really an overall combined issue of a developer taking a project too big for one person solo and the complicated mechanics as originally planned would make this too big a task even with a smaller cast of characters just by the sheer complication. It was doomed to not make it all the way to the end of the original plan from day one.

That is not to say Baal did a bad job, on the contrary, he made an excellent game even with all of the difficulty in his way. This was an extremely difficult project and, honestly, I am pleasantly surprised he made it as far as he did in developing it.

I really feel like I'm missing sometheing. I am in late November now and there just isn't much to do except repitition.
What's the point of Favor? I have Mom and Sister maxed out on both Favor and love, and all I can do is get 4 influence or 40 money/week? It says I need to pay rent yet I never have to pay rent? I can go on neighborhood watch for +20 or -10 or +2 Influence but I need something like 300 to do the Discipline training?
Basically I have been through 100 cycles of the same "Go to school, train there, socialize, talk to mom and sister, study or go on patrol" without much to show for it except 3 stat increases and X-ray vision



Also, I get a crash whenever I ask someone to "Help with Training"

Favor is the main stat needed to get something out of any character, especially sexual things. It sounds a lot like your game bugged out somewhere since that's not at all what my save is like right now and I was just playing a few minutes ago. Obviously definitely having bugs with the training, do you have the latest version AND the bug fix from the first post of the thread?

Rent has never been implemented. Neighborhood watch is terrible, no guaranteed pay, only good to see the scenes.

As for influence: once you got their like scores high enough, ask girls to gossip about you all you can. Also do the syndicate jobs.

Get phone numbers ASAP, shower the girls with texts, especially in the evening when there's not much else to do.

As for money: pick up a job at school.

Point of favor is (a) you need high enough favor to get the love stat up, (b) many interactions with the girls cost favor.

Favor is a sort-of threshold requirement. Focus on getting most women to >60 (>80 for professionals like principal and nurse) to allow gossiping -- an early and constant source of general Influence. A few large favours are necessary (examples include getting mom to drive Billy to Logistics, principal to remove demerits/grant school influence/replace Derek or Tamara in the club). Unlocking a woman's fetish also requires using favors to have more in-depth conversations with them. A minimum Favor is also necessary to engage in more physical acts like hugs and kisses.

Rent was never implemented. Ignore it.

Glance at the first couple of months of my walkthrough (more of a strategy guide, really). You don't need to follow the steps, but it should give a feel for effective game play.

I completed all the clique missions under the current build. Assuming you've activated at least one other clique mission, you meet the basic requirements for Mary's. The biggest bug in the clique missions is only Samantha gets added to the nerd group to award extra influence when interacted with.

Common blocks:

• Another school mission (clique or NCHDL) is active. For me, a common thing to check is I didn't accept a NCHDL mission that requires class attendance to progress and then forget about it. Some require morning class, others afternoon class.
• The NCHDL story line has progressed to the point where Terrorstrike and Karma come to the school. All school side stuff (missions, NCHDL, and bathroom vignettes) stop.

Hmm, I also did all the other clique missions. As far as NCHDL goes, I'm still on the point where you're supposed to try and fail to tutor Derek, but that didn't stop me from completing the other cliques, Mary's simply won't spawn. Don't suppose there are any other known blocks?
Could one of the mods fudge it up? I'm using the Better Experience Mod, which has a list of events, and I noticed Mary's questline is listed under her specific event list, but not on the "school stats" which has all the other cliques listed.

Ah. You can't get Mary's mission until you've accomplished one of the major missions for NCHDL (Stolen Chemicals), and beaten up this bad guy's brother. Normally that's not a problem as getting 15 combat wins takes a lot of time compared to starting the club.

Also, Mary, Kelly, and Denise can't be under Wild Oats suppression.

You mean if they are you cannot start this mission? Because they can easily be wild oated.

Yeah the mission will only start if none of the 3 are under Wild Oats. It's a mission about a party that got out of hand...

what is this scene where Derek fails tutoring?

I don't think there's a scene per se. Early on, when you tutor Derek he simply doesn't acknowledge you.

I have played Super Powered since Rags. before switching to Ren'py, the story line was fairly complete. The rest needed work, and some parts of the story did need fleshing out, but that would come with time. Since moving to Ren'py though, the project became less focused on the story, and more about the girls, at first. The story was being rewritten as time went along. I believe that give that the story could have been a bit more solid, the girls should have had a bit more variety in their makeup. Ok, not the pictures, scenes, etc., rather in their characteristics, etc. And the powers could have used some work. If it were me, I would have left out the combat system in the Ren'py, until I had the powers worked out fully. Then worked in the combat system, after I had the story, girls, etc. worked out. But hey, this is a decent game, and it is fairly unique for the genre, etc.

Oh shit, really? So get to a point where I beat on some person's brother, then? Nice, thanks for that info, my silly robot friend! Then I at least know hope is not lost! I'll continue on that quest line then and see what happens!

Yeah, now I'm getting an exception whenever the slutty friend comes over.

Btw is there a way to get the girl from the tutoring to talk to you again after she found out you are following her? Billy is some sort of mind controlling wizard after all

Tamara is not recoverable without console commands.

Did you reduce Danni's inhibition level, by chance?

 

[hyfka]

Did you reduce Danni's inhibition level, by chance?

Not that I know of. I played that story out normally without using console (Femboy Freddy route). Now on mondays when Danni comes and asks to make out if I say yes I get an exception saying the body image could not be found. But I can ignore past that so it's not technically gamebreaking.

I don't know renpy's dynamic image system enough to be certain, but I think I spotted the error. Line 3728 is the only line where dan.pose is set to "1_8" rather than "scene1_8".

I'm attaching an altered .rpy file. If you want to try it, drop it in a 'game\chars\' where you have the game installed. Make sure the file name is just char_Danni.rpy -- the attachment system adds some numbers on front. If you don't want to, no bother.

Do I have to make a /chars subfolder in the game folder?

Did you reduce Danni's inhibition level, by chance?

Danni is very limited and slow to grind due to limited time you see her. First you need to increase Trust to the point you can get her phone number. Watch TV every week when she visits. If you use a Trust Lock power on her, you can gain other benefits in this limited time. (ie: if you Trust lock-link Trust to Trust, you gain double Trust) You can gain Trust, Love and Lust this method.

Also, do not forget you can make mental behavior changes. If you force them to wear less clothing, their inhibition will drop on it's own whenever you interact with them. Once you get to 60 Trust if I remember, you can ask for her phone number. Now she is easier to grind via cellphone. You can alter Trust, Love and Lust this way. Inhibition via more revealing clothing, and Corruption via other forced mental behavior changes.

The only events I have discovered sofar involve the bathroom or late night booty calls "invite over". When Danni is visiting use your Mind Control to have sexual events with her. Or if your Lust/Love is high enough with her, no need to Mind Control her, she will willingly get dirty with you in the bathroom.

Do I have to make a /chars subfolder in the game folder?

Yep. The file should end up in <installed location>\game\chars
