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

[thundersamaz]

what is the level cap, 7 or 30?
I am not running into the level cap. I am gaining too little XP which makes it take forever to level up

To be more accurate, the level cap was level 5, the level which the exp was tuned for. Ron turned off the exp cap, so the max level is level 30. The exp has not been tuned again, so realistically you'll get to level 9 at most.

I was skeptical aft first, but "CRY FOR THE MOON" spoke to me on a deeper level.

That first intro just has everything that made the X-men be the most hype and likeable super-hero team in all of fiction, ill die on that hill.

Would somebody share a full save for the latest version? I kinda destroyed mine

When no one wants to make a true X-Men game, the initiative comes from the most unexpected of places...

You have no idea how much discussion has been had to make a SFW version and just go all out.

The scope of going "all out" is not within our budget but if we did have a SFW version it would allow a lot of things that we can't have due to this being a porn game.

Any chance that some more ringtones are added in the future as unlockables?

Yes. You'll also be able to buy them from stores.

Would be neat to have a midi version of Evo's theme or the Japanese X-men intro.

Those are on the table.

With 6 seasons currently planned...

Chapters.

Will girls from previous seasons (in this case Rogue and Laura) continue to be developed as other girls are introduced in later seasons?

All girls will continuously get more content as the game goes on. There will be special expansions in the non-linear sandbox of Chapter 6 for girls introduced in chapters 4 and 5.

Girls from chapters 1-3 will get content as well but it'll likely be more epilogue stuff if we can't tie it to a storyline.

becomes Southern Belle Rogue

She already is one. She's just goth as well.

The level cap of 30 is most likely meant for the full game, so spread across 6 chapters.

This.

1. How did you destroy it?

2. We've added a lot of things to older chapters so if you care to experience them you might as well restart.

Like what?

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

Like what?

We wouldn't have to make every character on screen 18.*

There are a lot of child and teen characters in the X-Men comics that we either have to age up, whether they are romance options or not, or not include at all. Like we can't have Illiyana/Magik show up prior to her being thrown into Limbo. The most we can do is imply that she's around.

We could have more male characters due to less spending on sex art.

We could have other characters date without the game being labeled NTR.

A female Null could be written simultaneously with the male Null since the game would focus less on dating and more on just being an X-Men life sim.

Dating could still be possible but the pool of options would likely be limited in comparison as we likely wouldn't break all of the couples up. Some of them we would because we're tired of Marvel's melodrama, others are fine. I know a lot of Kitty fans would be happy with her and Colossus actually getting married.

*A background detail that we don't draw too much attention to is that there are several students that aren't 18+. On Earth 69 Xavier's school opened up to more students several years earlier than the comics and what you see in the Fox X-Men movies.

Now im curious, how would you set it up if it was SFW, Shinny?
Would you go about it by decades, or abridge it so that all characters are roughly within the same decade?
Who would you want to get in and what would their ages be?

I always enjoyed Jubbyjubbyjubes more before she got twilight'd and was just an energetic mallrat.

I know a lot of Kitty fans would be happy with her and Colossus actually getting married.

Even in here id be ok if you could not date Kitty and have her end with Piotr (assuming she makes it in mind you), they were such a cute couple and i hated how Marvel fucked them up.

I cheated, & all and now when I try to play it seems fucked. For example can't advance story & all.
I'll do a new game then

The short version is, if we had Crazy Billionaire Money and we did an entirely new SFW version of the game, we'd go in more of a full 'X-Men Life Sim' direction. Lots more characters would be available, because we wouldn't be beholden to any storylines or events. We'd still be providing a narrative for the player, but if you wanted to hang out with Deadpool and Honey Badger or go drinking with Wolverine after gutting ninjas or helping Beast with experiments into Weird Science Shit, you'd be able to do that. Dating wouldn't go further than maybe a kiss and a tasteful fade to black, obviously, but pretty much everything would be on the table.

 

[Theryberry]

How the heck does dating Jean work? I read the one post where someone said you need to study/be in your room alone at night and I've tried multiple times. When Null ends up going to sleep and I wake up, it says I lost 2 love with Jean (assuming because I missed the date)

At the risk of sounding patronizing, as much as I enjoy the idea of Persona-but-X-men,t it'd probably be much, much harder to do as a SFW game than to just continue the porn. The scope would need to increase massively since you need to actually have a game to play now separate from the porn and dating.

I think TNH works because we as the player can handwave away and sorta fill in the blanks of a school life and people are just generally far more lenient and have lower expectations from a porn VN due to the relative unsanctioned-ish state of the industry.

Wait, so are you actively asking her/accepting her request to go on a date, and then somehow missing that entire event triggering?
Or are you confusing the study sessions as the same thing as the literal date option?

If it's an actual date, it would automatically start when the 'evening' period starts. I'm not sure what you're doing, could you please elaborate?

That and Holder's mention of

Crazy Billionaire Money

is why we're not doing it.

 

[orosdlxd]

Will gayening of Bobby Drake be canon in TNH? Even a one-time mention is okay for me.

It's been a long time to see the Tourette's Guy in a forum. And seeing him in a porn game thread nonetheless...

Also the porn is genuinely more interesting then school
