Ren'Py The Null Hypothesis [v0.6a] [Ron Chon]

[buttfan]

The stats aren't arbitrary. They're tied to a lot of systems and those systems are tied to other things.

There's always a risk of the domino effect.

Welcome to programming, and as programs go, this is a relatively small and simple one.

We're in early beta as well.

I bet it's a little frustrating dealing with people that are acting like this game is finished or close to finished when it reality it is barely started.

And... technically it's not even Beta, it's Alpha. Beta implies a more or less finished project and you're down to polishing and bug fixing. This is more accurately an early Alpha as so much is left to be done.

I'd suggest using something like the Steam "Early Access" description as that is a fair description of the game.

The takeaway is that once we complete the game for a straight male Null, we'll be able to add a gay Null or a female Null in less than half the time.

Which will still be significant effort.

Oh... they probably didn't want to hear that.

Girls have standard trope personalities. You make them gay in your head. Alright.

People rarely realize that a significant part of what they see in art is their own interpretation of it. A lot of times where people say that something is obviously about XYZ is actually projection, that they want it to be true (for varying reasons), so they are seeing it, That isn't to say that artists (including porn game designers) don't try to convey certain things, just that unless it is blatantly obvious, the odds are most people will miss it and come up with their own interpretation - which is why there is often huge debates about the meaning of old stories.

Abstract Art is completely about that. While the artist may have had a certain idea in mind, it is difficult to convey through abstract art, and what most people will see when looking at it is what they brought to it.

So, in that regard all art is to some degree a Rorschach test.

Sorry if this gets asked a lot, but what is the best way to regain progress from an old broken save? This game is way too grindy to replay legit.

you can use console commands. I prefer to just give myself cash and let the stats increase organically, the game still is pretty unstable at times.

Yeah, I guess that's kinda what I figured. This game really could use a built in cheat menu or something to safely progress quickly if the saves are gonna get broken with updates.

I swore I talked to each girl about dating all of them and now all of a sudden one of them dumps me and looses a ton of trust. Did I miss something?

They will forgive you very soon. Just give them a day or two.

 

[Eldenor]

I was thinking about playing this update, but it doesn't sound fun if that's the case.

You will be forgiven quickly. Only a brief setback.

honestly, if I had to choose between these regular content updates or stuff like cheat menus, I know which way I'm going every time. hopefully someone enterprising will mod something in once the patches stabilise

 

[Sea angel]

I don't usually write comments on the site, but I have to congratulate the team that's developing the game. I think this is the most potential game I've ever seen in recent times, in terms of history, communication with which the project follows and also the art of the characters and interactions with them. In short, I really it being delivered so far and I'm in the fancy for you to succeed with what you develop in the future.
(I'm sorry if my text got confused, I'm not good at writing in English)


By the way, I'm going to take advantage of this message and ask a question (which maybe has already been asked), do you have the intention to add the option to customize the player?
For example, adjust the height, choose the physical type, add body mutations like tails, change the size of the penis, texture of the skin and etc.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Sure, I agree with that, its just really hard to play a game like this when most of it is a big grind and then the updates break all your progress and you have to start over. Maybe its best to just wait a long time for a lot of updates.

Old saves should work just fine with this new update. There are some hiccups with the new system and cheating stuff, but they do not permanently break anything and the problems resolve after a few in game days

[blackmetal]

Found some console command to make the grind more bearable (hopefully the dev won't change the code on each update )

Command:
(replace Rogue with Laura or Jean)
Rogue.love=9000
Rogue.trust=9000
I've added 9000 but the quest will lock you at a certain number until you finish each quests, which will reward you with a higher cap

Rogue.pubes='none'
(replace none with bush, growing, hairy, null, shaven, strip or triangle)
Rogue.piercings["nipple"] ="ring"
replace "ring" with "False" or "barbell"
replace "nipple" with "labia" or "belly"

Player.cash=99999
Player.XP=999
Player.level=10 just increasing the level throught cheats doesn't give any [extra points]
Player.ability_points+=10
Player.stamina=4
Player.max_stamina=4

Rogue.throat_training=5
I've added 5 as to not encounter noclip issue
Rogue.oral_training=20
Rogue.stamina=5
Rogue.max_stamina=5

oh and message to the dev. Please consider these features

• re-enable the function to skip text , simply holding ctrl or tab should work like it does with all renpy games
• reduce the time it takes when navigating the cellphone
• reduce the amount of white colors in backgrounds. Too many dark-coloured rooms and characters in contrast with brightly-coloured background are hurting my eyes

how do you enable the console ? and them use in game

 

[sleepingkirby]

how do you enable the console ? and them use in game

You'd need to modify the game run the command:
config.console = True

Either by making your own .rpy file (and prioritizing it's run correctly) or modify:
./renpy/common/00_console.rpy

Then, in the game, press shift + O, then type in those commands.


Or, use my cheat injector. It'll do most of those commands via the game's own GUI and it'll turn on the command console for you too if you need more.

Okay, maybe I assumed it was more broken than it is. I just saw a bunch of error messages and then events that shouldn't be happening and figured all the triggers were screwed up, but what you said sounds about right. Thanks.

how do we activate console ?

 

[mandmihate]

I dunno if this is a bug report of if these girls are hard to please. When you're going to cum the girls will say something along of the lines of "put it where you want it" but will only accept cumming on the floor. The dialog should be reworked if they won't agree to anything else. More buggy though is when you let her choose and the game chooses something she wont accept. Rogue kicked me out of her room because she was unhappy with where she told me to cum I guess?

Even on 0.3a, this was the behavior so it's not a bug with this version. I'm not sure it is a bug, but I'll let the staff answer to that one. But the game has a thing where if you ask/push on things they don't want to do, they'll get angry. This actually is a feature that both this game and it's inspiration, Rogue-Like Evolution, both share.

I explained myself poorly. The issue is you can select Let X Decide and then they'll get pissed at what you chose. But you didn't choose, they did.

So you're saying that on the menu where you're given a choice, you select "Let <insert girl name here> decide". They'll then decided and then get mad at you as if you chose something they didn't want?

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

bth in general in projecting building mansion of Xmen do you orientated on something like this fan blueprint?

We've collected several mansion layouts and cross-reference to be consistent.

One of my favorite bits of lore is that Nightcrawler built Storm the attic garden with skylights.

And... technically it's not even Beta, it's Alpha. Beta implies a more or less finished project and you're down to polishing and bug fixing. This is more accurately an early Alpha as so much is left to be done.

While content is very Alphaish. I call it beta because the closed alpha didn't have any sex and was just the intro and some random sandbox stuff.

Which will still be significant effort.

Oh... they probably didn't want to hear that.

It's whatever. I more feel pity for people with unrealistic expectations and little patience.

We want to release things when they're ready.

We could upload half-finished content that's buggy but that leads to spaghetti code.

Yeah, I guess that's kinda what I figured. This game really could use a built in cheat menu or something to safely progress quickly if the saves are gonna get broken with updates.

There's no such thing as "safely" using cheats. Also, the update didn't break anything.

Also, we have discussed chapter jumping. So when chapter 2 comes out, you can click a check box saying if you did the content of the previous season.

*finds thread, sees this post on first page*

Damn, that's embarrassing- wait, why are there 60+ pages, did people really keep arguing with this dork after he got caught out like that for-

jfc, you people have zero taste. Also, you folks do realize this dude is just running random chicks through an AI filter for art, right? The details in the backgrounds he forgets to paint over give it away.

Dude, you're quoting 2-year-old posts from a guy so obsessed with giving us grief that the staff stepped in and put a stop to him.

We are on page 316 and have two years' worth of progress. I mean no offense in this but judging the current build of the game, by images that were leaked without permission makes you look like an idiot just trying to stir drama.

Either check out the current build of the game or leave. No one cares about your attempts to be edgy or gain someone's brownie points.

Someone did.

Here it is.

For example, adjust the height, choose the physical type, add body mutations like tails, change the size of the penis, texture of the skin and etc.

Yeah no. Sorry to be blunt but I'm gonna have to put a stop to this train of thought. Maybe in the future, and it's very unlikely, we can add some things to Null but the stuff you're suggesting would cause delays with art and programming time. We're still currently lagging behind in a brown skin tone.

Null will always be a 6-foot-tall, moderately attractive, relatively fit young man with a dick that is between 9 and 11 inches depending on how you look at it.

Maybe skin texture can be looked into? We have fish ears with green skin as an option so maybe some scales to go full black lagoon. Though that's pushing it.

Okay, maybe I assumed it was more broken than it is. I just saw a bunch of error messages and then events that shouldn't be happening and figured all the triggers were screwed up, but what you said sounds about right. Thanks.

If the error messages persist, and you didn't use cheats, please post your save.

Sounds like some fine-tuning issues. I'll pass it on to the dev team.
