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

[itsfickfuckthings]

I think it would be nice to see your money when you open the map. Makes it easier to decide if you can go shopping or not.

(although the orgasm animation is missing for them)

A noted issue. We're working on it.

Clothes do not provide any love or trust points no matter how much you buy and with other gifts there are still times that they earn, for example, 15 love points for a gift but then nothing more

Others have made comments about it so we're gonna look into it.

too much grinding

It seems the community is split on whether there's too much grinding or not. Going to class at least three times a week will give you a boost gain rate. We will be implementing other features that also boost gain rate.

Unclear mechanics, if it is true that there are "two" routes for each girl, it should be much clearer in some way, just as, for example, what the score is for when you are in the locker room menu

Yeah, I've mostly discussed that in forums and discord. It was so known that we kinda forgot to include an in-game reference to routes. They're actually called "Quirks." Worry not, we're working on it.

no use in leveling up characters

This is mostly a framework for future updates and additions.

The wardrobe change is useless because then they dress however they want.

We're working on it.

and with the hair options it doesn't matter what you choose, it doesn't change in the movie above or in the one below XD

Working on it.

Buying remote control vibrators is of no use, there is no option to use it and with other toys like the anal plug, the same is true, so whether the girls wear it or not does not change the game (I suppose it will not be added to the game yet)

Yeah this will be expanded on

but perhaps differentiating the variables better

Working on it.

make someone bring out their exhibitionist side

There won't be hard exhibitionism. Like none of the girls will fuck in front of an audience of random strangers, but you'll be able to convince some to go skinny dipping in the pool, banging in a locked classroom, hiding in the bushes in the quad.

Though there won't be an exhibitionism stat. It's been streamlined into the Trust stat.

another is role playing with cosplay

Already have plans for it.

although if the girls have a dominant option, even if it were a difficult route, the reverse option should be included

Some girls will simply never have a dominant path and some girls will never have a submissive path. We go off of their personality in the comics. If you want to mind-break girls, Rogue-Like is still available to play.

Too puritanical, the girls as the game progresses should be more open to sex and it doesn't matter at all that you have a girl with the maximum attributes that it is at night and an empty class is going to refuse to do anything because she needs more "intimacy"

I disagree that they're too puritanical. You are building a relationship with three girls who have intimacy issues, but there are issues with the game calculations that we're tuning to make more sense as there are some things that are actually bugs.

I understand that showers are initially more modest when they shower, but at high levels I don't see the point in showering with clothes and then putting on a towel to cover their shame so that you don't see them OVER their swimsuit (and even less so when they change and therefore they get naked in front of your face XD)

It's a school rule. However, we will be tweaking it to be a bit more logical. Again some calculations are off.

and this is a question more than something to improve but I suppose that when the game progresses the girls will have unique scenes for each character because if all the scenes are identical between all the girls it can be boring

Yes, there will be several instances of girls having scenes exclusive to them.

and finally I got a SERIOUS error

If you stay at night in the shopping center, any option is blocked and you cannot open the map or advance time or anything.

Thanks for letting us know. We'll see if we can fix it.

"the transparent protagonist" in the sex scenes.

Yeah we're thinking of adding a toggle to this.

I think the "comic" concept looks great in this game and should have taken it in the form of floating "vignettes" when performing sexual action. Let it show (as it already happens in many actions) the hands or the head of the drawn character.

For example, that a small floating vignette appears on screen when you suck the girl's nipples showing the detail as if it were a comic book and disappears when you stop doing it.

Yeah, we're going to be leaning HEAVILY into this. To show different angles, to show more complex actions that don't require drastically altering some character art.

Having comic book panels fits more with the theme, and immersion, than just fading in and out of a new action.

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

I was wondering if the team has a singular artist or multiple artists working full-time on this project?

We have three artists who desire to remain anonymous. You can see their initials in the credit screen when you open the game.

I've seen other projects fell apart or have wildly mismatched art direction due to an artist leaving or being replaced midway through development

Knock on wood but if one needs to leave for whatever reason, we still have two left to hold up the fort.

I'll pass this on to the devs.

Question (and a suggestion), how exactly this system works?. I think outfit types should be explained better in game.



Like for example normally a skimpy outfiy she won't wear but when I just select winter option she says its ok?

 

[stevejones19]

How do you set someones clothes? I create an outfit and save it, but whenever I do something they change out of it. is there a way to stop this?

 

[LowLevelLesser]

This might sound strange but I really appreciate that the women in this game start off wearing NORMAL underwear for their regular day-to-day wear. In so many porn games the majority of female characters are wearing lingerie, lace, and babydoll nightdresses randomly all the time, right off the bat. It's just a little pet peeve of mine about these things.

 

[chopolander]

I suppose it has already been discussed, but there is a problem with layers of semen disappearing when dressing even if the clothing does not cover that part.

 

[DroopyLoving]

Really great start. Would love to see Psylocke and Domino added sooner rather than later to make it different to RLE.

 

[darkjoker13]

"I was playing the game as usual, in the middle of buying clothes for Laura. Then it seemed like the game rolled back, about 30 minutes earlier, and no matter which save I load, the save point reverts to the moment of the first rollback."

edit - look like the problem is in some particular save file

I think the intention (going top left to bottom right) is

Normal Wear | Undressed | Gym | Swimsuit | Date Night | Spicy Time | Sleep Wear | Cold Weather

The situation you're describing may just be a small bug.

The game will never contain ntr or swinging.

That's a shame as it could be a fun dynamic with Cyclops and Emma or Colossus and Kitty.

 

[mrwho21938403'90'124]

in some parts with the piercing it appears a error

 

[Skybreaker1337]

Well, didn't expect this update to be so big, so props to you.


Some comments I had while playing the game:

The "choices" don't seem to do much. I chose to deny Jean the bro sis stuff in every single choice, she still ended up completely going the big sis mode. Similar with Rogue and X, I chose to diminish X dominance and Rogue submissiveness in every choice I had, but it still didn't seem to change their personalities whatsoever.

Is anal actually locked behind vaginal? I know I'm in the extreme minority, but virgin anal is kind of my main fetish and the main thing that got me into Roguelike back in the day. Is there going to be a possibility for this later on, or am I just shit out of luck in regards to this?

Man, you're blueballing me so hard with leather-clad Storm showing up and then just vanishing forever. Plz dev have mercy :'(

The grind is indeed too big, but I'll attribute that to many systems not being in place yet. Trust seems to be in a weird place in regards to grinding. The fastest way I found is just going through the sex menu, which I dislike since the system tries to replicate the girls getting used to certain actions, so it creates a conflict between creating the girls with focus on certain fetishes vs quicker access to max stats. The gifts are an alternative and will probably make this whole system better once there are more of them.

Additionally, I read there will be no exhibitionism, which makes me sad. That one is within my top 3 fetishes, and something I'll give Roguelike a point over Null hypothesis.

Aside from these, I don't think I have any complaints which aren't aimed at unrefined systems. Those will come with time, so I'll reserve the judgement of them until then. The way this is shaping up I'm kinda thinking the next update will take this into the "real game" territory.

The only complaint I could pull out (giggles) would be about cum inside orifices not really being shown, which irks me simply because of the description. "Filled to the brim", and then nothing is trickling out and the hole looks mildly covered? Meh. But this one isn't a real serious complaint.

 

[nanoda]

great stuff overall, but I've noticed some weird performance problems that I did not see mentioned (so I guess it could be only on my end, though I haven't the faintest what it could be).

The game seems to have some issues handling multiple custom outfits. After messing around in the wardrobe system and setting up a bunch (10+) of custom outfits (for Jean) it starts to chug, to the point it becomes unplayable. Clicking anything results in multi-second lag, saving takes forever and the game itself becomes unresponsive. After restarting it's mostly fine, until touching the wardrobe again.

 

[Micheal Cozad]

whenever I try to equip the leather teddy to Laura my game crashes

 

[skyward1785]

I just started the game - looks great and promising, hats off to the entire team behind it!
I have two (basic) questions:

1- When the game asks to progress the story or postpone it, does choosing to progress have any impact on the content that I'd see or the relationship with the girls?

2- I have tried all the available action that Rouge is currently "OK" with, but it seems that I cannot extend her pleasure status bar any further. What am I doing wrong here?

Spoiler: Rouge Making out et al.

There are a bunch of crash errors when trying to have sex with piercings equipped on Laura and Anna. Looks like it's fine with Jean though, but haven't explored all of the piercing options yet.

Why is Storm white?

 

[mp82rw]

Why is Storm white?

She's not.

Hell, there were pages already that addressed this way earlier in this thread... like months ago.

Even taking pixel comparisons from the comic iteration of her and the game iteration of her, and the game version was spot on, if not showing her with an even darker complexion than many of the comics.
