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

[RedPandaExpress]

Actually my info is directly from my experiences. Rogue is more of a pleaser and will do more of certain things earlier than Jean will. If you ask Jean for a BJ at the same level of relationship as you do with Rogue she will flat out refuse. On the other hand, Rogue does not want you giving her certain forms of pleasure (going down on her) earlier but Jean does... Jean is a bit more selfish. It is not a huge difference, but it is noticeable at times.

You aren't wrong. They all have different thresholds for things which help to shape when they will be willing to perform certain acts. One may require more love, one may require more trust...

Just one example - Touch Breasts

Laura
"touch_breasts": [175, 225],
Jean
"touch_breasts": [215, 200],
Rogue
"touch_breasts": [210, 210],

And there are ~150 lines of code for each girl which goes over these. The Devs plan to add even more nuance to things with future updates, but you were right to identify that the girls already have different preferences.

I'm pretty sure that right now it's just love/trust points that decide how far they'll go. The preferences is TBA soon™

I mean it depends on how you look at it. On hand hand, yes it is just a factor of two different stats. However by having the exact scores of each vary, it creates a sense of where each girl's comfort zone is and which acts they are more willing to explore first.

This was intentional

Surprised they're not just creating 2-4 archetypes and assigning girls to them.

Got a mail icon on phone, how to open?

 

[phillibuster]

Go to map, click on mall and then click in the map... I think.

They deliberately didn't go that route.

They use the"Girl" class, which contains the methods for setting up love and trust, as well as most of the framework for how they operate. Instead, they made individual profiles for each girl. It wouldn't have saved any significant time with only three girls since they would have had to build the archetype profiles.

By taking a little extra time and doing it this way, the individual girl profiles help to guide how all of the interactions evolve. There are thresholds for everything from simply talking late (as you probably notice early in the game) all the way through the various sex acts. Most of these are coupled not only with those score values, but other conditions as well.

Even if you cheated in having Jean at 10,000 Love / 10,000 trust, you aren't going to be able to get Jean to fool around until other relationship flags are triggered, which are done as a part of relationship events.

This profile based structure also makes it so that the girls inherently dress differently, not simply because they have different clothing sprites, but because the values for how they prioritize covering different body parts (shame) interacts with respective garment values.

TL;DR - They put a lot of effort into setting up the framework to let them expand without feeling stale.

Open Phone
Click "Blah"
Look for the contact that has the red bar.
Click them and read/respond to text.

Ok, thanks

This is why I call it breaking the game.

Of course things are going to bug out when you brute force things.

Which is why I am going to reveal the ultimate cheat to unlock all the currently available sex scenes.

Careful though, this trick can lead to other issues.

 

[Crel]

That's some next level hacks. Through a clever series of inputs, you can trick the game into doing whatever you tell it!

How do you go on a date?

 

[phillibuster]

The girls either ask you directly or you have an option when you click on them to invite them to one. But they have to bring it up in dialogue first.

Is there still a discord link in the game? I finished all the available quests and nothing's come up.

 

[efthkal]

This project is alive, right?

This project is alive, right?

Check the posts and look at the date of upload on the first page of this forum.. that is how you can tell.

There should be one on the side of the screen on the main menu.

... Dude. Do you not see the several people actively posting?

Has there been any mention of adding new girls to the game? Kitty Pryde's absence is pretty noticeable.

We plan on adding new girls per chapter.

They will be added around the time they show up in the comics.

To give an idea, the game takes place shortly after Giant-Size X-Men.

I will note that Rogue and X-23 were moved earlier in the timeline due to art already existing for them when the change in narrative direction was made.

From the beginning of Chapter 2 onwards, things should be progressing linearly.

I will note that we're not going 1x1. This is an adaptation so plot points may change, character motivations may be different, and characters' reactions to events may differ. This is because our primary concern is consistency. Comics can get confused sometimes.
