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

[Mutation8888]

I'm half-deaf, have a dulled sense of touch, and can't see anything past an inch in front of me. My sense of smell is the stuff of legends.

i got a powerfull sniffer, always love the natural scent on people. unless they go too long without at least a rinse off

I actually have very good hearing, very good color vision (even some night vision due to high levels of visual purple "rhodopsin") even though I am near sighted, and a very good sense of smell. Needless to say, I sneak up on people at night quite easily all the time without trying so I understand Laura's sneaky antics. I should have gone into a different line of work I suppose.

I like the smell of mine but I don't love it in a sexual way. Not that I'm shaming anyone who would like it in the sexual way.

weird because I have a crazy strong sense of hearing lol

I have 0.3a and downloaded 0.3b but it won't let me load? It doesn't give me an error it just boots me back to main menu.

did you put .3b into the same folder as .3a? if so, that could be causing the problem

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

Null simply does not realize what he is doing (as per Kurt) and all of the ladies simply like hanging around him and get a crush on him.

We just wanted Null, by default, to be a generally nice guy to be around. With the player controlling how he reacts to the situations he's thrust into.

Some people seem to think this makes him a "brown-noser", a "sissy", or a "pushover."

Mood.

I'm very soft-footed. Not sure why. People just don't notice me despite being a big dude.

Our senses try to make up for what the others lack.

That is just the thing, it is often the quiet people that harbor the most nasty inner demons. Some are merely hiding them so they can appear normal, others are protecting people from themselves by caging their demons up and acting like "nice guys."

Makes sense. Some people have a kind of "aura" that others gravitate to and instinctively trust. Not a power or mind control, but more akin to a personality type and calm, easy-going attitude. Those can be dangerous if they realize the effect they have on others and begin intentionally using it to subtly manipulate others.

Just because someone does not overtly show off a strong a-hole attitude does not mean that they can't or won't be an a-hole. Some people are just more introspective and calm about interactions than others and chose when to cut loose.

Huh, I'll date Laura, why not? What's the worst that could hap-

I mean we do add some moments. Such as the one option where Rogue asks to hold your hand for the first time?

It's less people wanting to be assholes and more that they're upset that there are consequences for asshole behavior.

 

[Mutation8888]

Yeah, they are quite obvious for most people I would think. There are just as many people tired of games that all lead to the MC being a jerk to everyone and not having any consequences for their actions. This game is a welcome change for them. Why be the same as every other game when you can be an outlier and be different. Outliers stand out and are noticed.

 

[Invader Zim]

Does anyone else have issues with the phone while texting with the girls that apart from the initial choices (good morning/how are you/do you want to come over) there's 0 updates on the phone's screen when you text (or get texts)?

 

[drifter139]

I just thought of something potentially dangerous: what happens if someone tries something with Laura in this game and she kicks him in the balls but that claw comes out?

 

[Sayajin2205]

You're wrong, Laura is the star of the show.

No "Big Sis" is the best

did you put .3b into the same folder as .3a? if so, that could be causing the problem

So the first time, I deleted 0.3a but it was still in my Recycle Bin and it was doing that.
I restored 0.3a back, they're in the same folder, and it still does it.
I saw your comment, moved 0.3a in another folder (C: to D in this case, still does it.

delete .3a completely

 

[Deneuve]

delete .3a completely

didnt work

edit: it works now, but i honestly have no clue what i did, it just works now, i didnt do anything new

wait my save reverted back to before i can fuck any of them wtf...

 

[egonblabla]

I went to a date with Laura and i absolutely fucking love how it was written. She's like a wild animal dragging around her new victim. I spent one half of the date laughing and other being scared for MC's butthole "She's gonna peg me, isn't she? And then I'll reload the game and stay close to Rogue, where my butthole is safe".

 

[Mharzel]

I haven't finished the game yet, for those who have. Can anyone give me a brief overview of the differences between the 3 women. Who's the best in your opinion and why?

 

[agitatedturk]

That may have been mean. here are some concrete suggestions:

-consider whether to either take away the many superfluous choices, or make them meaningful somehow. And 'socially awkward vs charming' is not a choice - what are the consequences besides merely the amt of trust and love

-the real world simply doesn't work on this concept of being or not being an asshole. is this game meant to be a teaching device, then? are you trying to shape young minds with your porn, or make a good, compelling game. I would consider in this direction


Is there not going to be a story arc where eg Null brutally beats up one of the girls and as a result she likes him more? because this would be more realistic than rewarding nice guys like the gamew wants to do

 

[Kempo]

level exp are stuck.
Any solution?

I just figured there was a hard limit in game right now.

So between the 3a to 3b, b seems to have more visible defects. The worst one being that the phone no longer scrolls messages. So you have no idea what anyone is saying until you close it and open it back up again.

Does anyone else have issues with the phone while texting with the girls that apart from the initial choices (good morning/how are you/do you want to come over) there's 0 updates on the phone's screen when you text (or get texts)?

It is an issue introduced in 3b. It did not exist in 3a.
