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

[Maddeninggg]

That Jean date (before the relationship became official) made her sound so much like "I'm a one-guy type of gal" and so comment courtesy would imply she's expecting the same from me.... That or I misread some shit. Would not be the first time!

Her specific comment was just about casual sex basically. Saying she doesn't do one-night stands, not about sharing you with other girls. Needless to say she also wouldn't try to date other guys while with you.

The funny thing was, I wasn't sure if I liked her personality here... That may have been because I played an older version, months and months ago and the writing for Rogue was different. Now, I just wanna keep the damn touch-starved woman protected and pampered.

We haven't really changed any of the girls compared to earlier releases. If anything, just given them more writing and character development.

 

[buttfan]

To be 100% transparent, we just want to get the foundations and Chapter 1 finished.

We really don't want to go to work on chapter 2 only to have to come back and fix things later.

I was thinking about this, from a programming perspective this is very much a good idea. If you proceed to Chapter 2 before all the main process are added and polished, it becomes that much more work to add/ polish them when you do get to it, which will slow things down later. I think this will pay off better in the long term as development should be easier* from Chapter 2 on.

* For some broad definitions of 'easier'

Edit: Hell, with Laura, given that she had no concept of relationship or dating before meeting Null, she might consider it natural that the best/strongest males collect the best females.

This was very much my interpretation, she thinks Null is the best, therefor he is the best and all other females would think the same way, and it is only right for the best male to have the best females. On the same hand, she sees herself as the best female (strongest) and thus should be the Alpha Bitch as well.

Heh... just found this out. I know it is unintentional (well, probably is) and wolverine is just a title for Logan (and later her) due to their fierceness, but...
"Successful [wolverine] males will form lifetime relationships with two or three females, which they will visit occasionally, while other males are left without a mate ."

So... even more on brand for her.

I also found out that female wolverines are called Angelines.

I've spent my whole life overthinking things, and look where it's gotten me, so this time I'm not going to overthink things and just go with the flow. I suppose that just shows how little I pay attention to subtext.

This is actually a good interpretation of the character and functions as something built on top of what I said.

Like why she's willing to go through the situation to begin with. Rather than saying "Dump the other girls before you can date me."

Just a little more explicit clarity, especially with what is going on with Laura.

I can pass this on to the writers.

Why does this not surprise me?

Good writing?

Have they never been with a real woman?

I mean I don't play these kinds of games with the expectation of it being true to life but I've had a lot of complaints making it seem like we've made it as difficult as real life... which is just silly.

Right yeah, it's the fact that I don't think they'll say no... Hm... Maybe that's where the "build up their relationship with each other" through pool 'dates'/'hangouts'... I feel like i only started caring and inviting them to the pool after the harem had started...

The team is currently expanding the friendship stuff. Make it more dynamic and interesting.

Laura and Jean thinking they're the top in the trio/choices ain't healthy either...

But it is funny lol

Null needs to have a talk to those girls and explain to them the virtues of socialism sharing.

I think the head writer has something in the works.

It wasn't a big thing that mattered but god, it's nice to see an in-verse explanation. Attentiveness!

Dude, a lot of the stuff is built this way.

Mixed feelings. Love that everything is getting settled before more 'weight' is put on the system. It kinda looked like the updates recently are like changing an existing system, which kinda sucks (though, I'm all for improving a system or idea or anything like that for the better if something better presents itself).

At least we aren't Stellaris.

Why does this not surprise me?

My two favourite comments about the game are still 'worksafe version when' - a surprising number of people have asked for a SFW version to pass to people and one of my friends has threatened to do a playthrough for his Twitch channel on more than one occasion - and 'the writing was so good, I forgot to jerk off', again, a comment that more than one person has made! And that always surprises me, because we all know how much people like to jerk off!

 

[Dazzier31]

Not sure how this connects, though. I vaguely remember reading that the Cocoo Triplets dated one guy at the same time...

In a world where God is good and fair, that would be me... excuse me for a moment.

My obsession with perfection and completion demands that I get A+ ALWAYS.

I've joked around that the game should pick the DMC brand of rating, if you think an A+ is hard, your mind will explode when you learn of Super Sexy Style.

so apparently I have reached a point where I sleep at night and dream about all the possible new content coming in chapter 2. the other night, I dreamed about some girl tried to sneak into Null's room at night only to be met by Laura who threatened to make her really stand out among all the girls by giving her a scar across her face and then growling at the poor girl. wtf is going on in my head? lol

Don't worry, it's just anxiety or your mind playing with you

I mean this with the least amount of disrespect possible but if there was ever a sign to disconnect for a while, I don't think God could be any clearer. /joke

 

[Sweetluvd]

I hope to see Rogue in a Swimsuit like Jean and Laura instead of a bikini. I mean Rogue looks great in those sexy bikinis but I like how they pulled the V-cut collar of the Swimsuit to the sides and exposed her breasts instead of pulling the bra up on top. And hopefully players can customize the contrast for the girls' skin tones. The tan lines on their skin are very impressive, sunbathing also could change their skin color but it stop to a certain extent. I hope their skin can be even more tanned, it makes them more attractive.

 

[Augustus Commodus]

My obsession with perfection and completion demands that I get A+ ALWAYS.

I don't know. If public sex is unlocked, I can imagine Professor X rolling in mid-coitus might apply a penalty that would offset any additional gains from picking a few more options. Who am I kidding? Xavier has too much tact for that. With his powers, he'd either contact you telepathically to come to his study to discuss your extracurricular activities or "luckily" arrive immediately after everyone involved as finished fixing their clothes. With Logan's senses, he'd know what's going on, and I'm not sure he'd care; therefore, he'd only interrupt if he needed something. "Ignore me. I just need to grab my bag." There is the possibility of someone like Scott or Kurt interrupting accidently. I could imagine someone having a heart attack if Kurt teleported into the room at an ill-opportune moment.

*BAMPF*
Kurt: Hallo, how are—Gott in Himmel! Entschuldigung! Ich wusste nicht, d—
*CRASH* as a telepathically thrown bookcase smashes Kurt into the wall
Jean to Null: Don't you dare stop!

Oh hey me too, I was progressing Jean and Laura a bit too fast, unexpectedly and so I made sure to power progress Rogue a bit since First Girl/Best Girl should get Null first. At least dating-wise.

While later I did start progressing with everyone at roughly the same rate, Rogue was so far in the lead, I was caught off guard when Jean was the first one ready for sex. I understand why the devs did it, but I still had a "how the hell did that happen" moment.

But yeah, that was my thought process too... I'm here trying to boost Rogue's confidence, I'm making sure she knows that at the end of the day, Null chose her first... Honestly, I need to figure out how to make Rogue both sexually submissive and socially confident... Maybe I need to avoid encouraging her quirk...

Sort of in the same boat. I'm not particularly a fan of being either dominant or submissive. I encouraged Jean's siscon quark because it was cute at first; however, as much as I like doting and pampering "big sis," I don't particularly like bossy "big sis." I actually considered restarting at one point and reversing that decision. With Laura, I'm been discouraging her quark and trying to establish boundaries from the beginning. Sorry, but the only one I'd tolerate being clingy and possessive is Anna Marie. As for Rogue, I've been encouraging her quark because, in your words, it just makes me want to "protect and pamper" her, but I would like to be able to build her confidence.

Fortunately, the devs have said that they're planning, or at least exploring the option of, allowing you to tailor the quarks. I would prefer a non-bossy big sis Jean or a still adorable but more confident Rogue.

I'd try Jean -> Rogue -> Laura or even Rogue last but... Nah... It's Rogue... Rogue needs to come first. The funny thing was, I wasn't sure if I liked her personality here... That may have been because I played an older version, months and months ago and the writing for Rogue was different. Now, I just wanna keep the damn touch-starved woman protected and pampered.

I didn't play any earlier versions, so I can't speak on that. As for the order, I found it plausible to have Laura and Jean join later, and I don't think Rogue would be any less enthusiastic even if she wasn't first due to her low self-esteem, desperation for someone to be able to touch, and romantic tendencies. Much like Rogue, I doubt Laura would have any problem with Null wanting to add more girls if she was first. As stated elsewhere, she might even consider that to be the natural order. The one scenario I have the most trouble envisioning is Jean being okay with an open relationship if she was the first girl. At the very least, she would put up the most resistance and be the most vocally opposed to the idea to my thinking.

I'll never have to find out, though, because, much like you, Rogue will always be the first girl for me.

The team is currently expanding the friendship stuff. Make it more dynamic and interesting.

It'll be tough to top what's already in the game, such as the scene where X-23 tells Rogue to call her Laura, or when Laura tells Rogue she smells almost as good as Null, and Rogue has that "should I be worried? I think I should be worried" moment. Still, I look forward to seeing you try.

Hi new guy here and I was hoping for some help, is there any way to play this on an iPad?

I’ve had a look around to find a download/site to play it on and I can only find an android version to download and a site with what appears to be the original version of the game. I‘m probably missing something obvious but any advice would be appreciate.

Thanks in advance for any help

Save file hero I summon you to give me your SAVE!

 

[Sweet Force]

I discovered this game a week ago and I am fascinated, I apologize if this has already been asked before but I did not find anything clear about my question, can Laura use her mask? She has it on the cover of the magazine, also in the main menu but then It doesn't appear in the game.

the mask and most of the clothes had been removed to be added later,well they are being added little by little.
If I'm not mistaken, they will all be added in version 0.5
But if I'm not mistaken, all the clothes are in version 0.2
But I don't think it's worth playing this version because it will generate save errors and among other errors if you use the save from this version in the most recent versions.
here is the roadmap

So... even more on brand for her.

I also found out that female wolverines are called Angelines.

This did give me a thought. Of all the members of the harem, Laura is the one who might be likely to encourage Null to add more members since a larger harem means a more prime male, and a more prime male means more elite females. Of course, the other women would have to impress her on some level.

Laura: Storm fought well today. She is a strong warrior. Do you wish to breed with her? She'd make a good addition to your pride. I'll go talk to her.
Laura is halfway across the room before Null's brain has had time to process what just happened.

For the same reason, I can also see her being the most cruel (for lack of a better word) to other members of the harem she considers unworthy, not out of jealousy, but out of high standards.

Laura: Her? Her? She is tiny and frail. You can do better. Fine. If you insist she joins, I'll will make her worthy of the honor.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough (anything) about iPads or iOS to help, but let me be the first to welcome you. Good luck. Hopefully someone here can help.

 

[Clobbertime]

It was the same sort of "how does this work" thing as what I was asking, but much more in depth.
I'm a little miffed for getting my balls busted for a couple sentences that were meant as more of a throw away comment than anything, while that gets a pass.

I have been annoyed by this for years, and others have experienced it as well, out of everything you say, someone is going to focus on the throw away comment and turn it into a Big Deal.




Actually, the majority of women don't orgasm from penetration at all. So it definitely isn't necessary.

I was more referring to the speed with which it happens. Typically orgasm - if it happens at all - will "result from a combination of at least 20 minutes of direct, gentle, extended massage—by hand, tongue, or sex toy—of women’s whole bodies followed by caresses focused on the genitals, especially on the visible clitoris." (according to a study published in 2021).

It's not the what I was talking about per se (with the possible exception of orgasm without clitoral stimulation, which while possible, is definitely playing on hard mode), it was the speed with which it occurred. But I can definitely understand that as being sped up for the purposes of the game.

I do give credit to the devs for having you move around and change up what you're doing, and knowing that the inside of the thighs is an erogenous zone.

They're also all virgins so their own excitement at having these experiences for the first time might also be contributing to pushing them over the edge so quickly since it's all so new to them.

In a world where God is good and fair, that would be me... excuse me for a moment.

Mood... I've got a blonde fetish and twin fetish.. Triplets? Oh boy... Just looked them up, I could've sworn i read somewhere that the Stepford Cuckoos dated a single guy at the same time but apparently not...

I did look up Multiple Man again... Bastard went and split himself into two so he could go on a date with Banshee and Monet at the same time in the same night... Grrr... Lucky bastard...

Honestly, i'd probably be fine with it if I liked Multiple Man and I wasn't disappointed that Deadpool and Banshee never happened... My boy... My poor boy...

Anyway, I hope THN isn't planning on giving Null any duplication powers... I have mixed feelings about it, it'll let him manage his harem better but... Ehhhh... I'm greedy and sharing even with a clone is... A tough sell... Ah hypocrisy... I'll jump headfirst in a bed full of women but adding a second dude is too much for me... Freaking double standards.

I've joked around that the game should pick the DMC brand of rating, if you think an A+ is hard, your mind will explode when you learn of Super Sexy Style.

God I would hope not... That's one of the big reasons I've never played a single DMC in my life. Hell, I gave up on God Eater because of the ranking system...

Fuckin' SSS+

Only way I'd play a game where that's a thing is if I can somehow get a mod or cheat or a trainer to let me get that consistently.

Thank god for the Rollback system on TNH though, that'd help a lot in getting A+

You made my day, maybe I'll try version 0.2 just out of curiosity, but I'm happy that the mask will be back in due time, thanks for your response.
