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

[ShinyBoots1993]

overall I love the game and have noticed that despite following the events through the comics, they all have the appearance they did in X-Men Evolution which was a great cartoon imo.

Really?

Pretty sure our Laura doesn't have green eyes, brown hair, and olive skin.

But I'm just giving you shit. Rogue and Jean do have some Evolution inspiration because of the fact that the game was originally going to be Evolution based but we pivoted to the comics and didn't want to waste art assets.

tell the team I love their work and to keep going and ty Shiny for the work you put it as well

Will do broskie.

Recent Marvel art hasn't been very good itself.

Then I guess this is a difference in taste. Ron handles the art commissions and isn't the biggest comic book nerd so the first girls are based on more recent stuff. Some nerds, such as myself, joined the team and have provided Ron with some references based on older designs. You'll like some of the new stuff and we've already had discussions on the girls' hair.

Pace yourself well to avoid burnout.

Don't worry. We chat regularly about this and nobody has reported burn out.

is there any full save file ?

Dude, just play the game. There's no such thing as a "full" save file for this kind of game.

Off-topic - huge hats off to ShinyBoots1993 for being so active in the thread. Can't remember any other game where the communication between players and devs is so good. Thanks you for your work

Well I am the official community manager. I'd be doing a bad job if I wasn't active.

While I will continue to simp for joining the discord, I'm not gonna abandon you guys.

Look, I get that people who play H games usually have incredibly low standards, but why do people like this game exactly? Why is it rated 5 out of 5 stars?

If you read the reviews it's for the writing, art, and how easy the game is to mod.

It's an incredibly boring plotline

with no choice whatsoever

That's just provably false. Even our early test demo had like 10 variations based on what you do. You're not gonna be able to blow up the x-mansion but we've put a lot of effort into having the entire cast react to your chosen behavior and have already put more variable checks with the upcoming update.

no options for love or submission training like in the original game

First off. There is no "original game." Yes, Ron was inspired by Oni but we've since gone in an entirely different direction.

Secondly. We've been 100% transparent about not including the training gameplay because that's not the kind of game we want to make.

and with awful AI slop art for everything.

None of the art is AI-generated. It's all digitally drawn. If you don't like it, fine. Throwing a baseless accusation isn't helping you.

I don't know who you're trying to impress my dude. Oni and his game are good enough that they don't need you to white knight and whining on the internet that our game doesn't meet your specific criteria isn't gonna impress anyone. People like this game. I'm sorry that this fact upsets you. I hope you find a way to be happy.

Is it possible to alter a girl's hairstyle permanently?

I'll bring it up to Ron.

Is it possible to alter a girl's hairstyle permanently?

I remember making an outfit for Rogue and selecting a specific hairstyle. Everytime she chose that outfit, she had that hairstyle. Try doing that.

Troll often? I get that some people may not like the game and may have their own opinions, but trashing other people's opinions (and then asking why other people have opinions) has its own set of illogical thought processes. Go get attention elsewhere.

Is it possible to alter a girl's hairstyle permanently?

not really, but you can sorta do it by copying the default outfit, changing their hair, saving that as a custom outfit, and then *disabling* the original hair default outfit. that way they'll only wear their custom outfits with your preferred hair

admittedly, its a pretty roundabout way to do it. i think it'd be nice if they changed hair to be independent from outifts in a future update or something.

I'm the opposite I like being able to have different hairstyles for specific outfits.

I think something along the lines of where you can apply a specific hairstyle to all the outfits, but also retain the ability to pick a specific hairstyle for individual outfits.

Look, I get that people who play H games usually have incredibly low standards, but why do people like this game exactly? Why is it rated 5 out of 5 stars?

It's an incredibly boring plotline with no choice whatsoever, no options for love or submission training like in the original game, and with awful AI slop art for everything. Not only does it have that characteristic blur with absurd faces that the AI creates, but the models themselves are quite ugly. I mean, have you seen the Jeans sex scenes?

Her regular model is okay, but the sex? good lord she's actually ugly!

Are people just that hungry for h games that actaully have sex content and dont stay in the pre alpha version with 1 sex scene for 5 years that they're willing to rank this so highly?

Paragraphs I & III

1. Why do people like this game: The story, the writing, the art, the ease of modding. I mean the scoring speaks for itself with the reviews doing a pretty good job of agreeing on these points. Yours seems to be an outlier in that regard.
2. Why is it rated 5 stars: Probably because on top of all of the above reasons, the devs actually take constructive feedback to light, provide a clear plan of what they are doing and how they are going to go about it, and above all else seem to genuinely care about the project they are working on.
3. just so hungry....: Maybe? Although the number of games being cranked out by different developers and flooding this forum alone suggests that there has to be some other factor.

Paragraph II

1. Boring Plotline: That's highly subjective. There are multiple plots going on and for a game which has only released its first chapter I would say its doing pretty good. You have the Farouk thing, you have Null's power thing, you have a lot of other background things with each of the girls. And this is without the expanded stuff that is planned before they even reach Chapter 2.
2. With no Choice: You have lots of choices. Honestly the only thing you can't choose to do is force the girls to submit like mindless fuckdolls through 'cum addiction' or whatever else. As it stands right now you can decide whether to romance each girl and whether to encourage their particular kinks. Not to mention general degree of interactions with them throughout.
3. No options for love: Are you kidding? If anything there's no option for a casual fling, but love there is no shortage of.
4. Or submission training like in the original game: You mean you can't make them addicted cum sluts. Yeah, that's by design.
5. AI slop art: The art isn't AI, and it's not slop. It is, however, far more detailed than a lot of games out there and doesn't reuse the same old stock models.
6. Not only does it have that characteristic blur with absurd faces: First, there isn't really a blur there. As for the absurd faces, the faces are built from a series of individual components which are layered together to get the individual reactions. Not all of them blend seemlessly, sure, buit that's hardly AI level slop bad.
7. Models themselves are quite ugly: Definitely a matter of opinion.
8. The Jean sex scenes: They're pretty good. A hell of a lot better than some Jean sex scenes I've seen.

And it doesn't matter whether you are euphemistically calling it "not having any choice" or "no chance for development" or any of the other countless variations that have been used on here or in other forums. Forced or Dubious consent is not, per the Devs own statements, going to be included in the game. If that is the type of content you are looking for, there are plenty of other games for you to consider.

How long does it take for a girl to get used to anal? (In the game)
Can you buy lube anywhere? (In the game)

Lube is not currently in the game.
You can work them up to it by training them up through the plug sizes and using toys. Each training size takes something like 2 days? I'd have to go dig through the code again to be sure.

Edit: And so he did.

```
if buttplug_size == Girl.anal_training and Girl.History.check(f"used_buttplug_size_{buttplug_size}") >= 5:
$ Girl.anal_training = buttplug_size + 1
```
So its longer than I thought. 5 days, not 2.

You're not gonna be able to blow up the x-mansion

Literally unplayable. The mansion blowing up is already canon in X-Men: Evolution and X-Men: Apocalypse (just that I know of off-hand—I wonder how many other times it's happened?); I implore you to continue to strive for lore accuracy by considering making this something the player can do. Then everyone hates you so you go live with the Brotherhood in their shit-shack of a house.

Speaking of, anyone remember the mansion explosion from X-Men: Apocalypse? For a 2016 movie, I thought it looked kinda goofy.

I said "You". Like Null won't have the "choice" to randomly blow up the mansion whenever he wants. Mansions simply aren't safe in the Marvel Universe. Also we're not using Evolution or the movie's canon. Comic book... to a point. We're not moving to purgatory.

Speaking of, anyone remember the mansion explosion from X-Men: Apocalypse? For a 2016 movie, I thought it looked kinda goofy.

Best part of the movie imo.

I'd say it's worth playing atm. it's got quite a bit of content

Btw, how do I enable console commands?
