Ren'Py The Null Hypothesis [v0.7b] [Ron Chon]

[drifter139]

You suggested increasing love/trust but I already maxed it to 1000 and am still locked

Would you settle to the middle and bring the "about that discussion" feature? It let's you discuss previous stuff you agreed to with girls before and I think it would work well with nulls hypothesis's Jean's sibling dynamics (always getting called little bro, kinda weird when you're an only child) and Laura's dominant style (her muscle are overwhelming and menacing but with high enough trust could null and Laura be on equal basis?)

Also I was thinking of using the 4 blank square on the girl's humhum profile to show their quirk and dialogue choice. For example first square for Laura is the dialogue option to forcefully control you (she decides where null goes) with 2 different icon, 2nd square is fooling around in public.

3rd and 4th square idk. vaginally and anal unlock?

One more thing. Is it possible to make the vaginal and anal sex a quest reward? There's no indication this is a possible reward after dates for now and each girl have a different requirements too. I think it depends on how many dates you go with them but it's kind of inconsistent for each girl. Some won't allow sex nor anal sex at all. Other will consent vaginal and anal on the same day

you didn't mention about being maxed out tho

Well now I just feel stupid that ive been playing the outdated version - appreciate the info

Not saying I'm stealing this for a plot twist at some point, but I'm not not saying it, y'dig?

I graciously grant you the permission to use my incredibly brilliant theory in a future update, if you so choose. Though I reckon most players would probably want to see the real Kitty instead but hey, a great creator shouldn't always listen to their fans, right???

Oh yeah, guess I should mention, I was added to the game as a writer back in, what, May? June? And it's genuinely the next best thing to actually working for Marvel (except Marvel would probably frown if I had Rogue graphically make out with X-23 and tell Wolfsbane what she's planning on doing to her once she's ready to untie her from the vibrators she's had attached to her for the last hour).

Congrats on landing the writing job. Honestly, considering the absolute state of Marvel Comics these days, you're probably far better off working with the characters and the world here on an unofficial porn game. Have you SEEN what they've been doing to Spider-Man the past several years? If that's how they treat their flagship character while refusing to correct or even apologise for any of their mistakes, then I'd rather just forget about my dreams of working for them.

How many writers have you guys got on this project, then? Are you not worried about mismatched tones or styles, or do you just work on separate girls/plots and then bring them together? Also, I'm gonna take your last comment there as a hint that Wolfsbane is planned eventually, which means New Mutants, which means Magik and her devilishly hot tummy, which is NICE.

this game is becoming one of my favourites on the site. It's an incredible game. That being said, if suggestions are accepted, imho, each girl could have their sexual preferences. Say a girl loves anal (my ideal woman) or is only anal and hates vaginal -my ideal woman- or viceversa, other girl could enjoy bdsm more, then other girl could have handjobs but love blowjobs, etc etc. This would add some extra depth to the already great game's gameplay. Kudos to the creators of this gem

nice. I can definitely get behind those 2 making out. wolfsbane you say please tell me she is not in furry mode.

They already do.

wolfsbane you say please tell me she is not in furry mode.

If we included her, we'd probably allow you to choose what form.

 

[RedPandaExpress]

They already do.

Charles, for example, just likes to watch

They already do.

I was so impressed and happy with this release. What incredible work. Tremendously excited for what is yet to come.

And while I have an entire list of things about this game that I love, I wanted to specifically sound out my appreciation for the diversity in pubic hair options. I know it may seem like a trifle to some gamers, but in an 'industry' that is largely dominated by imagery depicting shaved/trimmed women, it is always amazingly refreshing to find a dev willing to let the LI's 'bush out', so to speak. It is because of this feature that I found the game in the first place and also because of this feature that I am having such an easy time pitching the game to my like-minded comrades around the forum.

I'd normally avoid diving into a rabbit hole here, as I know devs have their hands very full as it is, but I am somewhat encouraged by the willingness to offer a widely varying array of pubic hair styles in the artwork. To that end, I really feel (and I know that the comparatively small but very passionate community of female body hair enthusiasts agree) that a whole bunch of folks would be super happy if the 'hairy' option for pubic hair could be expanded a bit. Chances are high that most of the people selecting that setting anyway are already major hair enthusiasts. And while what is there is fantastic and I am thrilled to see it, it would be pretty cool if that setting could be expanded somewhat to reflect a biologically realistic array of pubic hair. Like I said, it is great as-is and if it stays as-is, that's fine. But its a little jarring for those of us who dig the hair to see this big beautiful bush stopping just short of a perfectly smooth/hairless asshole on all of the LI's. Most women who have a full blown bush also have hair around the back door. If the 'hairy' setting could include that as time and willingness permits, it'd probably hit a sweet spot for that setting's target market.

I'd love to make a case for armpit hair as part of the setting or an additional option, but one rabbit hole at a time, heh.

If 10% of your content gets into this game, season 2 is going to be AMAZING!!!!

Appreciate the vote of confidence, friendo, hopefully I survive the experience live up to the expectations!

Yeah, I've been a comics reader pretty much since I could read, and gone through lengthy periods where I just stopped reading comics altogether because they were so miserable. I started reading every mainline X-Men comic back in February (before I even heard of this project, oddly enough, let alone got involved with it - presumably The Stars Were Right) starting from the very beginning to the current day and there's lengthy periods where you can see the writers desperately searching for something to hang a story on and it's all just so boring! I've always said, a bad story is a bad story, but at least it's something to talk about. A boring story just sits there, taking up space. It's miserable.

We've got a couple of writers right now, including myself and so far, we've mostly collaborated on story ideas, before going off to do them individually. Once we've got something done, we submit for review and give/get feedback: anything that feels off, anything that doesn't land right, etc., you know the drill. If everything is good, we send it off to be added and move on to the next thing on the list. As for clashing styles, no one's pointed out anything glaring or anything that even feels obviously different, so I'm taking that to be a good sign that we're, at the very least, complimentary, and on any kind of project like this, that's an excellent sign.

As for Magik and Wolfsbane,

yo dog that was cool seeing an update, i'm gonna play it asap

No. We're not "the other game" and even if we were, we're not beholden to its design choices.


We're working on making her non-quirk enabled personality a more equal partnership.


Give Ron $1000



Pretty much this. None of us knew that that made it plural.


Aaaand he ghosted us. Messaged me on discord, I messaged him in response and he never got back to me.

Right now we don't have the funds to pay more devs but if someone is willing to donate some grammar corrections or be a dedicated proofreader for Nightcrawler's dialogue, we'd appreciate it.

Edit: We just got someone to proof-read Colossus.

One more thing, i dont suppose pregnncy could be a thing eventually?

like a sort of result of finishing inside a lot?

The game specifically has the girls mention being on birth control. So while that doesn't completely take the possibility off the table, it strongly suggests that is not in the plans, at least in the near term.

 

[RedPandaExpress]

Looking for ideas.

The game is ripe for expanding the 'slice of life' aspect with various random scenes through mods. Running into one of the girls who managed to lock herself out of her room, late night phone calls to ask Null random questions, I'm even currently coding a scene which would trigger by not studying enough that causes Jean to try to encourage Null with a strip-study session.

What are some slice of life style scenes you might like to see?

Caveat - I'm working with the assets the game has and not trying to fundamentally change anything about the game/characters/setting.

you code a scene involving a girl being locked out of her room while wearing a towel and MC lets them stay the night. you could also code a scene where if MC manages to land an attack on a girl during training, they'll do 1 thing MC asks of them. and final idea could be MC's clothes go missing because of a blue teleporting buddy and he has to make it back to his room only to run into 1 of the girls

 

[ddtmm]

damn there's a lot more in this update than i thought there would be, kudos to the dev team

more interactions between the girls. like there already are some cases where Laura asks Anna to teach her about various things like masturbation more situations like that could be interesting and maybe involve Jean as well. Maybe the late-night phone calls could also result in late-night visits either for fun times or just to sleep over.
What about shopping dates one of the girls invites you to go shopping with her to show off various outfits/underwear/swimwear. could also add some fun in the dressing room.
also is it just me or does nobody ever use the pool? maybe some pool content.
After spending the night with a girl have a scene where you decide what to do in the morning and different characters have different preferences Laura would obviously want to train while Jean and Anna would be more into class/studying.
in general more involved encounters. if you are in a relationship with a girl and you went to train with her she should ask if you want to have a shower with her. or maybe ask her if she wants to train some more. similarly after going to class together have a direct option to study together. maybe group trying and study sessions.

The amount of play time in this game, and it's only the first real release since the preview is shocking. I hope this project goes on for a long long time.

There's 1 often reoccuring fault though.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Oh thats fine, i kina want it for way far in the game when the characters have gone through lets say, many stories/adventures etc.

Edit:
Now that i think abbout it, might actually be nice for some plot way frther into the story, woul make it not just a cosmetic thing then.

 

[giantboss]

I love this game, rogue like was one of the first nsfw games i played years ago and sometimes i always go back when i see a new version is up, just to see the little changes oni made, but that game was lacking some story or world building after all this years the game feels empty,all the contrary this game shows very well, the girls are amazing, the devs know their stuff ***SPOILERS***in the battle against the juggernaut i remember watching it when i was a kid that his power was not from being a mutant but instead thanks to magic or something else and i knew my powers doesn't work on him but i tried to help anyway ***SPOILERS*** 10/10

But i think i found a bug or maybe is not implemented yet but laura asked me for a date we go and everything was good but then when i ask her for another date she tells me that we will go in the evening but then she never shows up and i can't complete the mission, Does this happen to anyone else?
