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

Since I apparently can't vote on the Accent

We welcome all feedback on things like this.

because I don't want to make a discord account...

No worries. I still plan on actively responding to the thread and I do pass on what happens to the devs on discord.

W = V... Awesome 100%, 10/10

They can take it from my cold dead hand.

V = F... I don't love it, but I guess its fine... 7/10

Surprised this gets higher praise. Some people seem to hate it.

Th = S... Hard No. Instantly confusing... 0/10

I didn't even know sis was a sing. I don't know what we were sinking.

Th = Z... Maybe, situational... 5/10

Yeah we've toned it down already from updated scripts I've seen.

Ending G = K... I really don't like it, it straight up looks ugly and doesn't add much... 2/10

We're outright removing it. No hesitation.

These are actually pretty cool. I dig the Nightcrawler one. Those half lidded eyes.

I'm glad you like them. It was nice to see how much of the art is done for the sprites and bedrooms assuming they stay that way. Jean having chemistry, physics, and engineering whiteboards is nice to see since she won't be as dumb as Forrest Gump.

As for Kurt's accent, W=V and V=F is basic German, so I would say it would depend on the word and how German-like it is for the V one. I'm a little surprised J hasn't entered the conversation, but I guess it is a rarer letter.

Edit for one last comment: The two German exchange students I have met didn't talk with these stereotypical accents.

Kurt Wagner is from the Bavaria county. There they speak a little different German due to the bavarian dialect. There are some old X-Men tv-show episodes with Kurt Wagner in it. There he talks with German dialect as well.

J?

He's had a noticeable accent in every audible appearance I'm aware of and a great deal of comics have phonetic and make him inject German words into his speech.

As many have pointed out. We were a little too enthusiastic in portraying his accent and our attempts to find someone with an intimate understanding of the Bavaria County's dialect have failed.

Just played the preview i'm maaaan im excited for the first version Will this have a storyline or will this be more like rogue like? Also will it be just xmen or will there be some brotherhood people down the line?

 

[MLGKwikSkop]

J?

Ja.

More storyline. Story stuff and events are a focus here. I don't think there are going to be mainline brotherhood girls, but there are also side girls. Some kinda stand alone events as i understand it.

I hope Evo Wanda shows up.

 

[sladedadon]

So I am wondering, how would null react in hum-hum? Will it be like the dialogue we have or will it just be more in-depth?

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

Ja.

I can't believe I didn't think about this

I mean Rogue is a brotherhood girl. Some others may appear.

I hope Evo Wanda shows up.

Maybe an unlockable costume?

So I am wondering, how would null react in hum-hum? Will it be like the dialogue we have or will it just be more in-depth?

We're still talking about this.

Hum-hum will have a lot of posts from several characters(not all will be on screen) reacting to events.

At the bare minimum we'll probably do something like GTA4 where you can respond to emails positively or negatively.

 

[Crimx42]

I hope Evo Wanda shows up.

Evo Wanda is why my sexual preference is short haired girls

 

[derpnibbles]

Evo Wanda is why my sexual preference is short haired girls

Honestly X-Men evolution upgraded so, so many characters from "meh" to waifu status

I wonder what show they used for reference for this shot

 

[Evil13]

I wonder what show they used for reference for this shot

Considering (if it is Walk on the Wild Side) the episode took a lot of references from the films "The Craft" and "She's All That", would not be surprised if it was one of those films they rotoscoped for it.

Basically the craft or some crap Whaedon show

Okay, time for some pointless speculation about the plot! Because I'm a huge nerd and I'm bored...

Oh I welcome it!

Season One will focus on Null meeting the cast and learn the ropes of being an X-Man. It's also an opportunity to introduce game mechanics to the player.

I mean I think I've mentioned this one.

The Shadow King is a odd villain to appear in the game's prologue

It's a hold over from before the story redirection

One of these days I'll release my director's cut that is truly faithful to the comics XD

I remember Shiny mentioning in passing that the team was thinking about implementing some kind of card based combat system- but I don't think that it's been mentioned since, so that idea has most likely been discarded for being to complex and time consuming.

We haven't discarded it entirely. We just don't plan on it being in the early releases because of its complexity and the time needed to get it right. Needless to say it's still within the cards.

I think it'd be fun to have her as a young non-romancable npc at first, then by the time Season Three or Four rolls around she'd be old enough to be romanced if you wanted to.

I kinda argued for this with some characters, especially the new mutants, but was shot down pretty quick on each occasion. It's risky to show underaged characters on screen in a porn game even if they're no where near the adult stuff.

In the preview, we don't see any hints of Rogue having super strength or flight, and since Shinyboots has stated that TNH is going draw heavy inspiration from the comics this leads me to believe that Season One is going to be set before she's absorbed Captain Marvel's powers.

I don't want to spoil much beyond my comments and clarifications above but it's really good speculation.

 

[thundersamaz]

Rogue killed captain marvel confirmed.

By the way, will there a reason to go to classes or is it just a place to hang out?

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

Rogue killed captain marvel confirmed.

I never said that.

By the way, will there a reason to go to classes or is it just a place to hang out?

Some girls will like you more for attending classes and doing well in them.

Our other plans for classes are things you'll find out on release day.
