Ren'Py The Null Hypothesis [v0.8b1] [Ron Chon]

[Mutation8888]

On slightly related note I don´t get is why she doesn´t have her hymen intact. With her regeneration I though the devs would make some defloration scene each time she has sex.

This has been discussed before actually. The idea of a woman with regeneration having her hymen regrow every time is not all that realistic since healing, even regeneration, is adaptive. When Laura's regeneration kicked in she was much younger and she has aged slowly since then. Her body will continue to age very slowly, which means that her regeneration adapts based on natural situations her body would go through... If she was unable to grow older or lose her hymen, she also would never be able to get pregnant or have a child as her body would return to normal by rejecting the pregnancy (she also would not be able to become stronger or faster by practicing or working out). What we have seen of mutations is that they work with the mutant physiology to increase survival in some way, even if it at first is misunderstood or dangerous and uncontrollable. Having regeneration that returns someone's body to an exact moment in time and development would be counterproductive and would not promote survival since survival is actually about adapting.

Just found out about the social media thing, and yeah... can't wait for 0.3.

Also if your body always returns to a previous state, training would be pointless as any gains you made would be undone, if this extends to the brain (and it can because we have seen Wolverine/Deadpool recover from head wounds), you would also never be able to learn anything as your brain would undo any memory paths laid down.

Yeah blood play is a HARD no.

Yeah thats for the best.

Its just seeing how dominant X-23 can be in the game made me remember something from like 20 years ago.
I dunno if any of you have seen the Singer X-Men movie trilogy but there is a scene in the second movie (I think) where a different version of X-23 played by Kelly Hu fights Wolverine in a lab.
She had super long thin nail claws and absolutely fucked Wolverine up. There was blood splashing everywhere and she chained him up to a cage or something.

Back then I thought Jesus Christ thats fucked up for a PG13 movie but also hot in a weird way.

Shit! Memory unlocked. Back then I didn't know about X-23, can't believe I'm finding out today that this chick is supposed to be her. Crazy.

If anything I think x-23 was inspired by the movie at least based off dates on Wikipedia. I believe it was based of lady deathstrike, even her race matches then.

The movie came out on may 2, 2003
imdb lists her as Lady Deathstrike (Yuriko Oyama)

First appearance of X-23 was August 2, 2003

Actually that was the movie's attempt at portraying Lady Deathstrike, not their best attempt, but interesting.

Lady Deathstrike actually predates the movie as part of the Marvel comics series. She was the daughter of the man that developed the adamantium bonding technique that was used on Wolverine. She grew to hate Wolverine as she felt that her father's technique used on Wolverine was an affront to her family name. She was never a mutant so to combat Wolverine she asked Spiral (A Sorceress) to transform her into a cyborg with powers similar to Wolverine's.

i memba seeing deathstrike in one of the cartoons and my mind was blown how fucked up that was for a kids show

This may have been discussed before but I'm really looking forward to the exhibitionist side of this game. Shame if I have to ruin my rep with Xavier to do that, he looks quite like the amable chap here compared to the other game.
Maybe I can bribe him to mind erase the whole town after jean tries to plow me in the middle of the mall.

And I hope we can keep out saves, got a few hours logged there. But if we can't we can't.
Thanks again for the great job
Edit: I think I've finished the 0.2b version but I'm curious: can the girls do a full deepthroat yet?

I'll temper your expectations and let you know that exhibitionism will not be anything like you see in Oni's game.

You won't be able to casually take Kitty to the quad and fuck in front of 30+ students.

Also Jean would probably do that herself.

Sneaking in while helping with the Beta testing.

I'm not going to give any real spoilers, but...

O.M.G! The Devs have really out done themselves with this one. Each one of the love interests now have an extended storyline that is focused on getting to know them. Maddening and Buttholder have seriously raised the bar for the storytelling for this game. Coupled with the expanded poses to help visually tell the story, this is feeling far more polished than even some more professionally developed games I've played.

Can't reveal much more than that, but trust me the wait is well worth it.

"Maddening and Buttholder" - sounds like a name for some mid 90s comedic buddy movie.
Jokes aside, what I have seen in the game so far clearly shows they are quite competent.

Ayo, any news about how things are going? Looking forward to the next release.

Unofficial Update

Its going well. Next question?

Seriously though, the next update is in beta testing right now and that's going well. Without giving too much in terms of spoilers, there are a lot of new features which we have to continually poke with a stick to make sure they work under odd conditions. Some of the conditions are a bit harder to confirm than others.

For example: Does the game properly email your boss telling them off before quitting, transfer all money from your bank account into Doge Coin market, and then format your hard drive if you reject Jean?

That's a feature, not a bug.

Those are indeed in the cards.

One of our budget plans is to get unique location art for dates.

aww man I'm so excited for this. any word on if the beta testing will be done this weekend or do we have to wait a little longer? god speed to the devs, truly making something special here

That's hard to say for sure. So I'll offer the best spoiler free update and explanation.

Are we making great progress at finding bugs and getting them knocked down?

Absolutely, we've even reached the point that we can even devote energy into identifying potential typos, text that just doesn't quite read right, and other less game-breaking issues.

Are we sure we've found all the game-breaking stuff?

Not yet. Credit to RonChon and the Devs, they've been taking the bugs we find and getting them fixed as quickly as possible. We've iterated through a number of test builds and continue to do so. The bugs of this sort are becoming fewer and further between though which is a good sign.

When will it be ready?

Patching and bug fixing is never completely done. There is no way to realistically be 100% sure that every possible bug has been caught. So this one becomes a question of when RonChon and the rest of the Dev team feel comfortable with releasing the product to the wider audience. It is not impossible that the game will be ready before the end of the weekend, but I would be surprised.

Then when?

See, I can't answer this. Somebody will take my estimate as gospel and then be very upset if I'm wrong. That would make Shiny's job much harder than it has to be and nobody wants that. Instead, I will just ask everyone to have a little more patience and offer the assurance that I beleive the results will be well worth the wait.

Great job with this game and I'm excited for the next update! As for my own personal wishlist:

1. Great job with the current girls, now I want more! Kitty Pryde, Jubiliee, Magik, and Emma Frost are at the top of my list. Hell, you could do some crazy stuff if you go down the Psylocke/Kwannon/Betsy rabbit hole.

2. Keep up the variety in the types of relationships with the girls. You've go Rogue as the sub, Laura as the dom, and Jean as the big sis already which was great. Looks like the tracks are being laid for teacher/student with Storm. If we're going to be entering sophomore year then we can be the big sib with a new freshman character (Kitty or Jubilee). Maybe a "mommy/aunt" figure (Emma Frost comes to mind). Magik could be sort of a Anna/Laura hybrid - tragic past, but more submissive. Dr. Reyes could be a caretaker fantasy.

3. More variation in the female body types. You could have a few petite girls and can even have breast size still be different. Like Kitty could be petite with a great rack and Jubilee could be petite with smaller breasts. Or someone who is small on top but with a nice round ass.

4. More sex positions - Cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, 69, piledriver, standing, etc.

Just a wishlist, but I'll be perfectly happy with whatever the team comes up with anyway. Keep up the fantastic work!
