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

[ShinyBoots1993]

I don't listen to Nine Inch Nails as often as I listen to Revocation and Vildhjarta, but...

...namsayin'?

This was entirely unintentional.

Sasha and Rogue are very different characters. Like despite Rogue's insecurities, she's not getting a boob job or dyeing her hair blonde.

That makes me think we'll be getting Magik and he's going to threaten to crush our fun berries if we go near her...

Colossus has always struck me as being kind of mellow and cool, so as long as you don't hurt Magik and make her happy, he would be okay with you?

I see you are unaware of the joys of Colossusposting, sad state of affairs.

This.

I actually kind of thought that girl during the Sentinel attack might have been her (blonde girl).

We're going through comic timeline so she's currently 6 years old... Limbo will age her to 18.

Which for those that don't know the comics, she won't be an 18 year old with the mind of a 6 year old. Time passes differently in Limbo and she experienced all those years.

I only hope the team can pull it off - that number of girls is a very ambitious, and unfortunately there's a long history of games just adding more and more characters and getting repetitive. I'm a quality over quantity guy.

The girls have different personalities and we're spacing ourselves out in sets of threes. I've mentioned before but if there's a moment in comics where more than 3 potential love interests are introduced, then we'll cut them and reintroduce them later as DLC.

We haven't discussed if they'd have full art since they'd still be important to the plot or be silhouettes like Cecilia is currently because of our "If she's on screen, you can fuck her" policy.

Like we want and intend on reintroducing them later on. It's just the complaints would get annoying.

Will it be possible later to name the game saves.
I've seen in it in other Ren'py games (Four Elements Trainer).
That would make it easier to see in which saves you only go a certain route.

Everyone and their mother mods these games to have this feature. I'll bring it up with the devs.

the story lines generally get pornified to the extreme or have incredibly poor writing.

RLE was kinda porny so rather than tread the same waters we went for something more grounded.

 

[sztrb]

Hopefully, there will be other X-Men joining. Kind of hoping for Mystique and Jubilation.

 

[Buttholder]

Not to mention that many artists have almost universally decided that Evolution Rogue would have listened to Nine Inch Nails, posters of the band on her bedroom wall, t-shirts and so on.

This too, if I had a penny for every piece of art I've seen of Evo Rogue that had her in a NIN shirt or with a Bauhaus or Skinny Puppy poster in the background, I'd be able to fund the game single-handedly.

 

[FacelessVixen]

I'll say that the NIN shirt was actually a suggestion I made to the team way before I was added as a writer (go back far enough in this thread and you can see me talking about the kind of music Rogue would be into and explicitly saying we needed an NIN shirt) and long before I was even aware of L&S. And, let's be honest, it's basically the go-to reference for 'this person listens to music that would scare the normies', not much of a surprise that two games with a similar character archetype would pick the same reference.

You deserve a medal.

I'm actually not a fan of big titty platinum blonde Sasha, and Rogue being a switch is more of a thing for RLE.

Heh, single-handedly

i cant go on dates with jean the ask on date button doesnt show up

 

[d630]

Why would you want to be though, all 3 girls are so sweet in nature.

Personal satisfaction? I don't like romance. I find unbalanced relationships more erotic.

You can do it in RLE but I guess this isn't really a corruption game, more like a dating sim.

Correct.

how to hace sex with Rogue? i have all stats 1000

 

[buttfan]

Any plans to have more rear aspect poses of the girls?

Other than the doggy style pose, we rarely get a look at the girls' butts - although they comment on us staring at them - and well, as my screen name says, I like girls' butts. I was thinking that when they aren't specifically talking to you, like when you enter a room and they first appear, some could appear facing away from you (RNG determined), maybe looking over their shoulder at you as if to see who just came in the room. Naturally they turn to face you when they actually talk to you, but if you aren't talking to them they aren't necessarily facing you.

I know this would require additional art, but well... its just one pose...

Hoping this gets implemented.

is the "love" level the highest so far for each girl?

 

[RoadWulf]

is the "love" level the highest so far for each girl?

Love and Trust at 1000 is the highest you can get. It's also what's required for them to be willing to give up their virginity, usually. Jean did it earlier than that.

 

[JustCallMeSteve]

I noticed the latter as well, i believe it is a partial consequence of Jean having lower trust/love requirement than Rogue and Laura. I think the amount of points Jean requires is between 100-250 points lower than the other two girls on most things.

 

[Rogue_Is_Love]

it's basically the go-to reference for 'this person listens to music that would scare the normies', not much of a surprise that two games with a similar character archetype would pick the same reference.

What about Joy Division?

 

[Buttholder]

What about Joy Division?

I mean, they're a great band, Dead Souls is probably one of my favourite songs of that entire post-punk/pre-goth era but they're mainstream to the point of being downright respectable! You tell people you like Joy Division, people assume you're a person with Serious Opinions About Music. NIN, on the other hand, as popular as they were and still are, they never really properly crossed over in the same way. I remember coming into work after starting a new job wearing a Downward Spiral shirt and a couple of people going 'huh, didn't think you were into them,' with a weird hint of disdain in their voice. NIN still weirdly have that edge to 'em.

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

Any plans to have more rear aspect poses of the girls?

We would need new art of every single outfit combination in the game... So maybe sometime in the future but it is a rather large financial investment and time sink considering we still don't have all of the older outfits updated to the current art update.

Jean did it earlier than that.

Jean is older and despite having college anxiety, is more certain in her life choices. She's also more socially aware of relationships what they entail.

She can approach you during Spring.

I figured that the main reason behind the difference between the numbers was an instance of using the mechanic to differentiate the characterizations than simply differing them for the sake of doing so.

Jean in this also seems to have not developed as many trust/connectivity issues as Laura and Rogue have. Trust and Connectivity might not be the right words, but my brain is refusing to cooperate at the moment.

the reason I think it's less of an issue for Jean is her being so approachable compared to Rogue and Laura. Rogue has issues due to what her powers can do and chooses to stay away from most people to avoid possible physical contact resulting in serious injury like she says in her optional objective. as for Laura, her entire existence was to be a weapon prior to coming to the school and she was never taught how to socialize with others since she was only taught how to kill. Jean's issues are more of how she perceives herself to be close to perfect and because of that, she has to socialize with others in a certain way and she can't afford to be weak since it might cause her powers to act up. tl:dr: these girls are dealing with serious teenage issues

 

[JustCallMeSteve]

I agree, Jean intentionally acts approachable, Rogue closes herself off from others due to her powers, while Laura doesn't really know how to interact in a non combat capacity.

 

[Morgue]

Have not really looked at the numbers…. But… I have each of the girls right now at 1500 love and trust and only Jean is putting out…. Well on dates Laura is slobbing the knob under the table and Rogue is bouncing on my lap at the movies
