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

[Sayajin2205]

Also how much difference does it make if you push back against Laurie's tendencies does it alter her actions slightly and change dialogue tones slightly?

 

[Jamiedupe]

And chances are, she gonna remain as such for the foreseeable future, so be patient on that one. The team wants to stick to 3 girls per chapter, so if Reyes were to happen she would either be added when Chapter 1 is done or as one of the main girls of a following chapter.

I didn’t mean it as having Reyes with all the poses as the 3 girls or even dateable. More like what we get with Kurt and Chuck, since this is a character that the MC is interacting with semi-regularly.

I'll answer both with the same sentence: It has been discussed. Specifically in regards of costumes, I distinctly recall the team wanting to add more suits to reflect the storylines that are adapted, so for example, if Age of Apocalypse were to happen, we would see the Age of Apocalypse suits.

Maybe you can help out bcs i do not find a real Changelog or smth, is the storyend atm after summer?

Secondly, did they talked about how much Chapters are planned,bcs this is the first Chapter and it is clear that at some point,if he gets stronger and gets even more powers, he will at some point outclass Jean. A Class 5 Mutant. Which is frecking strong

Yes, the story does end at summer right now.

The plan so far is to have 5 chapters, wether Null ends up being Omega or not remains to be seen.

And there is a changelog, is the update.png image in the download file.

I believe they said either 5 or 6 chapters by the end. as for the story's current end, yes it stops at summer

 

[vonbek]

mainly because I can't be arsed grinding cash does anyone know the working syntax for cash in the console?

 

[Buttholder]

Well now I feel all kinds of awkward.

Decided to replay v0.2b after merleved post. New art is definity massive upgrade as was mentioned before, sharper, more expressive etc, but missing features hurts, like different tan lines with different swimsuits or asking girls to try outfits before buying them. Can't wait for old features to be added back. It's clear that developer intends to make immersive dating sim with developed character personalities and attention to details.
Artist can produce outstanding quality artworks, they just need time and support.

Had the same issue. It seems to happen when Rogue wears the cage panties. So I loaded an earlier save and changed her wardrobe. Fixed the problem for me

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

Great update! Looking forward to the next batch of improvements. My only real (minor) complaint is that I would have expected that Cecilia Reyes would finally have finalized art given that she’s so early in the story so far. Alas, our primary caretaker is still a void ghost.

The only oddity I've encountered is the "you need a shower" icon is significantly delayed but randomly. I can train or swim once and it's there, but I can also swim, then do something else with no icon. I tried training three times in a day, and the stank alert didn't trigger until the next morning.

A known issue we're working on.

- The art is absolutely incredible, even if Laura's position makes her look rather frozen, as if she'd blocked her back.

Laura's art is hotly debated. Some think it's the best, some think it's weird. We compromise as best we can.

- The "dressing" menu lacks a little clarity. I personally didn't understand how to set up a garment for days.

I thought we added that to the tool tips.

- When you go to the bathroom in the Danger Room and a character is present, it's very strange that he or she undresses in a bathing suit and showers with you again without being asked.

Weird. I'll bring this to people's attention.

I suppose towels will be added later

They will be.

- I couldn't figure out how to do any tasks without going to Xavier, and that's a bit annoying.

I mean no offense by this but that sounds like a skill issue.

A walkthrough is being considered but I remind people that this is a video game.

- Kurt, the written German accent is horrible to read. I fully understand the will, but it might be a good idea for players whose mother tongue isn't English (like me) to reduce the accent to a few "accented" English words + allement (Fraulein and the like).

We've had German volunteers approach to help improve his presentation.

- Will we get a longer haircut for Rogue like in her 90s version? :3

Yes.

- Different costumes for each character?

We'd like to.

I'll answer both with the same sentence: It has been discussed. Specifically in regards of costumes, I distinctly recall the team wanting to add more suits to reflect the storylines that are adapted, so for example, if Age of Apocalypse were to happen, we would see the Age of Apocalypse suits.

Pretty much this.

Bruh both laura and jean has femdom. Hopefully their is an option to turn the tables later.

I wouldn't say turn the tables but we do plan on adding more nuance. We were focused on the side events this update. Any changes to core progress will come later.

I really just want an ability to tell my homie Kurt goodnight over the text every now and then, not even being able to train/study together (though that would be dope), not to even mention potential to be his wingman in the future. So I'm just joining the choir (seemingly) for more random, small Kurt interactions.

Everyone seems to love Kurt. Trust me, there will be more Kurt content.

it's silly to expect that out of porn game, but I really wouldn't mind more buddy moments. Pizza and music night with erryone or something.

Eh I don't think it's silly. Kurt was meant to be a tutorial guide and hint provider. Then people fell in love with him and now he's an actual NPC that we're expanding upon.

There are plans for more bro characters. Colossus' art has already been revealed in the discord.

And maybe having Professor X default to 'Professor' in dialogues, it feels a bit awkward to go "Xavier this, Xavier that".

I agree calling him Xavier seems weird if not kinda disrespectful to me lol

I'll throw this at the writers. Maybe we can give the player the option to be disrespectful. I know the bitter archetype would go full on "Chuck."

At some point gifts also stop giving you any points.

Known issue.

So yeah problem not so much with a grind, but with a lack of interactions to improve relationships with girls, espesically Trust.

We're working on fixing this.

So now that the three girls are in love with the mc will they get more main quest and relationship quests in the following chapters or is their story content pretty much over

Girls will continue to get story updates. No one will be neglected.

Also how much difference does it make if you push back against Laurie's tendencies does it alter her actions slightly and change dialogue tones slightly?

If you push back she stops stalking you and doesn't dom you. We plan on making it more nuanced.

I didn’t mean it as having Reyes with all the poses as the 3 girls or even dateable. More like what we get with Kurt and Chuck, since this is a character that the MC is interacting with semi-regularly.

We have "plans" for her. I'll just not even pretend to be vague and be honest in saying we have no idea when those plans will be implemented as we have a lot that needs doing.

We've discussed the idea of "side girls" and she very much would be a good option.

Basically side girls won't be full on romantic relationships and won't have full storylines like the main girls do.

i just wanna throw money to your art guy so I can have the ripped fishnets back on laura asap

I'll let the dev team know.

bonus if the heels stay on during sex

That should be quite doable.

I believe they said either 5 or 6 chapters by the end. as for the story's current end, yes it stops at summer

5 chapters. A 6th for true sandbox free roam and bonus stories to be added. Kinda needs to be a thing as the girls added in chapter 5 would only have one chapter otherwise.

Can't wait for old features to be added back.

They will be.

Had to go back and replay the spring season parts. I skipped through the optional side quests thinking I could do them later... but, of course, that was not the case. Certainly glad I did, though. That was probably the most wholesome of the side stories, with Rogue getting excited to watch cartoons with MC, helping Laura with her anxiety, and just supporting Jean after completely freaking out about her exam. For a brief moment, I had forgotten this was an adult dating sim.

And then the fuckin' has more emotional investment behind it.

You didn't just support them through some rough patches. You were there for them during the small moments and grew the bond.

Kudos to the writers for creating such damn lovable characters!

Is there a console command for skill points specifically?

Yep I liked the side stories too and I liked how the map shows the ! icon to indicate that one is active/waiting for Null to go to that location. I checked the map frequently because of them and only macro'd like 1 fast travel spot because the hotkeys covered the major ones already. If the fast travel number could appear on the map over the location you assigned it to somehow that would be nice, in case people use 2 or more and forget the location they assigned a particular number to.

(I haven't finished all the content yet I don't know if the following is already implemented).
Is it already coded so that the player can sort of "force" some events to happen by having the girls follow you? Just as an example, you asked Rogue to follow you, you both head to the danger room and Laura is already there training. Which meets the conditions for you three being there and Rogue asks something like, "Hey X-23, there's this hold I thought of but I can't execute it fast enough or my opponent breaks out of it, could you help me?" And give the player the option to shift the focus onto Rogue(or not) with Null being the test subject and Laura focusing on coaching Rogue, telling Null which powers to toggle on or off as needed. That could then adjust the trust numbers of both girls and their rapport, I guess.

I could imagine this working with the X Bros/classmates too like Null going to one of the bros: "Hey, not trying to roast you here, but remember that last session in the Danger Room where you got detected early and it threw off our initial plans for a quiet approach? Lemme introduce you to someone who's great at infiltration" and it's Null introducing them to Laura for a Null/Bro/Laura sneaking lesson, either in the danger room or the grounds where there's more space. That could get the classmates a little more respectful instead of just intimidated by Laura having Null as a mediator and Laura a little more at ease with classmates and better at teaching.
