Ren'Py The Null Hypothesis [v0.5a] [Ron Chon]

[SomeoneX22]

Funnily enough, I drop most of the games UNLESS they provide the ability to miss content. Otherwise, they are kinetic novels, not games.

This statement is just not true. Every open world game nowadays don't have missable content because no one would waste another 100+ hrs for second playthrough.

I hate VNs with multiple paths where you forced to savescum and name your saves to see all content, much better to have sandbox-style game with gallery.

 

[JMAH1R30]

Personality, yea. We take inspiration for outfits and a character's look from both shows and comics, no outfit is off limits.

This may be a question for someone else on the team, but do you think the game would include outfits that aren't in the show/comics? it may be a dumb question as I assume the game probably already has some, but just like, a t-shirt or pants that aren't in the shows/comics and just regular clothing? Idk...

For sure lol, there's already a bunch of clothing items in game that aren't from either shows or comics.

He was stating his opinion.

With your logic, I can say that this isn't true. Learn to read critically.

So many Korean models have been referenced lol

It's not an opinion, just objectively false statement. Not every game without missable content is kinetic novel.
Hell, not even every porn game without missable content is kinetic novel, if we consider the context. There are dozens of trainer and sandbox styled games on this site with an actual gameplay and exploration, allowing you to see all thier content in one playthrough or even forcing you too see all content.

I was wondering, since this game is built on chapters and more story-driven and has character development, would we eventually see Rogue turn into more like "comic" Rogue? Losing the gothic vibe and playing out with the curly and long hair vibe Rogue? Or can the player resonate with her, and depending on their choices and events with a certain character, could change or keep their personality?

I agree with you, I agree with your initial statement (kind of, because I partially agree with Skybreaker1337 too), and I wrote the way you do in many threads here.
But this time the difference is - it's one of the 'good' ones, so I am gonna call you out on just being pretentious.

As for the topic - missing content is CRUCIAL, but it also should be missed by choice.

BUUUUUT!
(and that's something that I'd love if you managed to share with team in any shape or form ShinyBoots1993)

Would you like to try anal: Of course! / I am not ready yet

This is not a choice. That's... A toggle?
I am given an option to play next sex scene or not.
I HATE THAT SOO MUCH.

The most simple and common one that is in right form, is the:

Cum inside / Cum outside

That is a choice, and one that makes content missable.
Expand on THIS idea, please ;_:
Throw me a curveball question that will lead to either getting blowjob later or getting pegged etc.
Not one that just unlocks sexx scenes.


Also,

would we eventually see Rogue turn into more like "comic" Rogue?

It reminded me randomly just now about Syd Barrett character.
Making me realize after years, that it's a reference to Pink Floyd's Syd.
But anyways - Syd Barrett character from TV show Legion is in some ways simillar to Rogue - althought her touch switches whole realities between her and 2nd people. But both are generally nono.
It might give you some fun and unique ideas about mutant powers! There's a lot of them. With Xavier's son and Farouk. It might give you some refreshing ideas!
But you';re nerds, you probably already know all those and I am noobsplaining here.

And yes, I am absolutely gooning for Rachel Keller ♥

in terms of her appearance, I think the team decided to stay with her Evo look but Idk about her personality

She's gonna stay goth but yes, having her long comic hair will be an option. As you can see in game currently, she does have some yellow and green in her wardrobe.

Her being goth isn't a phase and goths are allowed to wear colors other than black.

but it also should be missed by choice.

Agreed.

getting pegged

I've made this request and the dev team has turned it down.

 

[mypossiblepasts]

This is an option in all renpy games to my knowledge.

Oh btw, I think he meant like linear experience.

Oppai Odyssey had it I think? You could choose sandbox or VN mode.
And when I think now, it shouldn't be actually THAT much of a work?
Because all you have to do is - ignore the map UI completly on surface and just jump to next event. It's kinda already implemented - all you'd need to do would be jumping right away to the event instead of just showing it on map.

 

[BitesZaDusto]

Personality, yea. We take inspiration for outfits and a character's look from both shows and comics, no outfit is off limits.

So, is it a possibility we'll eventually get Rogue's standard Evo outfit in the game eventually, green mesh top, black skirt and all? Or are some outfits limited by art/posing and coding constraints?

next update. Very soon. They actually had it back in 0.2 and said 0.5 will have a full wardrobe again.

What crichton said. So many good outfits are coming

Woohoo! I can finally achieve my dream of dressing Laura in lederhosen!

 

[cannavaro99]

What crichton said. So many good outfits are coming

and shoes. lot of shoes.

 

[jvbatman]

I hope we get some better hairstyles. All of them besides the main ones just look like a mess. I want Jean in a neat ponytail.

Yeah, I didn't really have the time to go into explaining and assumed no one will take it as a literally EVERY GAME all the time. Also, I wasn't trying to go for objective, just a personal opinion.

Well, here we are then. Still got only 5 mins before going to work so I can't go too much in depth, plus it might go off topic.

I agree with the games that allow you to see everything, if you choose to do so. This is kinda what I was alluding to, the ability to choose. I consider every "game" that forces you to see everything to not be a game. Having the ability to see everything, but at the same time avoid what you do not want to see, is a core trait that makes a game for me. Railroading, to a certain extent, is fine, as writing is extremely hard to do without it, but not so much for it to become a main element of a story (what I was referring to when talking about dumping the gf and such). Missable should probably be changed into "choose not to engage with" in my post.

Ah yeah THAT kind of missable content I loathe. I don't buy into "it's to extend playtime". I already don't have time, I can't extend it in order to see something I already saw with a slight bonus at points.

When talking about missable content in my head I have images of Ultima, Ruby, Emerald weapons, ash lake in Dark souls, true ending of Suikoden 2, stuff like that. I mean missable more in the sense of getting MORE content if you do things a certain way, in a weird order, or perhaps by avoiding some other apparently instant gratification rewards. Other people who didn't do those things will MISS the rewards, or simply knowing about it and choosing to skip it the rewards is great as well. But I don't think those should be locked to a single choice, more like a culmination of choices and always having more than one way to get to those, but to be fair it seems like your team already has plans for handling those situations.

 

[red1988]

one question will version 0.5 or 0.6 relesae i confuse here

 

[LewdPrincess]

The real question is. When are we getting the female BAMF chapter?

The 1985 Nightcrawler series was one wild ride.
