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

Seriusly, she can wreck my pelvis anytime.

Do you think you look threatening? I am into that stuff

 

[SeveralGeese]

[/SPOILER]So TL;DR: is there any plan to add polyamoruous event triggered by the girls themselves instead of you "forcing" or kickstarting the events? (kinda like RLE but more fleshed out obviously)

I would also love something like this, especially with Laura and Rogue, since their relationships are so closely tied together.

But trust me. I'm campaigning for both Gay options for dudes AND every combination a female Null would have.
It'd just add to our workload and the quality would tank.

I point to Love and Sex: Second Base. They tried doing both, the game as a whole suffered for it. They decided to focus on the guy's route and once it had enough content they began work on the female MC and it's all in a pretty good state right now.

Like, I know a full cis female route would be complicated, but like... it's not like Null is even depicted outside of the sex minigame and a vague profile silhouette.
Trans/dickgirl route doesn't sound like it'd be super complex, just gimme some femme pronouns and a more narrow waist and I'd be a happy camper.

Of course, as a fan, it's my job to demand as much content and feature creep as possible :V

Actually, speaking of the sex minigame, is it just me or is Null fucking massive? and I'm not just talking about the pillar-of-the-community. I tried choking rogue and I swear her whole head got swallowed by his palm. Dude's yoked.

When's Ororo planned?

Hes 6'1'' according to the profile.

Impossible, he's constantly getting his ass annihilated

When's Ororo planned?

Chapter 2

 

[SeveralGeese]

Hes 6'1'' according to the profile.

Not sure I believe that. Dude's making Colossus look 5'11"

Bug report:
The world GUI elements remains during sex scenes. It sometimes takes priority over sex scene GUI elements and will actually allow me to open the inventory during sex scenes and cancel the sex scene.

Spoiler

It looks like Null after Juggernuts

 

[envy5]

We were just talking about this in the dev channels.


I mean people are free to try but a combat system is rather complex.


Ron and Mad decided to put her in her 30s because if we didn't, all of the girls would be 22 at the eldest during their introduction.

Emma being 40 and using mind tricks to appear young is just a headcanon. It's not confirmed by marvel.

It is confirmed that sometimes her skimpy outfits are just her tricking people's brains and in reality she's wearing sweat pants and crocks.

If I have my way, you will see this in game.


A gay dude Null would require less writing.

But trust me. I'm campaigning for both Gay options for dudes AND every combination a female Null would have.

It'd just add to our workload and the quality would tank.

I don't know how the system mechanics work with that. Neither are my cup of tea so I haven't tested it in the minimal time I have to playtest.*


In my dreams.


It's the primary reason why you can't boink Kurt right now.


It's on the todo list I swear.


*Community management takes less of my schedule than playtesting a game. I was surprised too.

Thanks for the quick reply, shame that there wasn't that info since all I saw about the anal training stuff from searching was you needed to wait 5 days and no concrete info about deepthroat. Open question to everybody who is further along than me. I am also curious whether changing from like an M plug heart to jewel plug would reset progress in some way

 

[Corbous1]

Always happy to see when this game gets an update!

What's the crew's opinion on semi-public sex. Places someone could walk in but probably wouldn't.

Obviously not places like the classroom or hallways during the day, but somewhere like the warderobe showers in the evening. Or you go down to the kitchen for a midnight snack and you end up finding one (iykwim)

I guess fooling around in the resturant and cinema already fit this category.

Semi-public sex is currently being discussed.

Hallways may be asking a bit much(Maybe you can dare someone to streak?) but a locked classroom or the kitchen at night are still on the table

would be a completly new form of exhib play beeing naked and project clothing or beeing clothed and project nudity

Stop leaking our design document!
(This is a joke)

I think it would be cool if some if some of the Chars hould be open for Action in riskier locations like the pool for example it would dfferentiate them more. I mean take jean and bring her to Xavier's study and do it on his table. Of course not in broad daylight and not with the whole Institute watching.

I'm mentioning Jean in Xavier's study specifically to the head writer thanks to you.

Would probably piss people off if it's their favorites ending up being the prudes.
If you're going to differentiate them it's better to do it like sex system, where they have different thresholds, but nothing is strictly off the table.

I know we're kinda desensitized because this is a porn site with games where you can decapitate a woman and then fuck the stump but none of the characters in TNH are by any definition of "prude" unless you're a

You must be registered to see the links

Like even by porn standards the girls aren't prudish. Rogue will tell you she wants her first time to be special but she'll let you rail her up the ass if you get her numbers high enough.

Also for somewhere like the pool it would be hot to have the girls rub up against you. We need more subtle sexual play like them undressing for you in the lockeroom if they like you enough.

A POV shot of Null looking down as the girls undressing him would actually be kinda hot.

Devs i saw a preview / concept of art of Laura and Anna together , it was great , PLEASE make that scenario happen in the future , it just makes sense for it to happen

It's on the todo list. Trust me, we haven't forgotten about it lol.

Edit: Also thank you devs for letting us have the option of removing those patreon silhouettes characters from the background in the new update , much appreciated

You're welcome.

Just wait until you find out about Weapon H.
Yes, modern Marvel really is that fucking stupid.

Thanks, I hate it.

At this point I'm just happy some idiot over at DC didn't go "Oh yeah? Well I'll see your Hulkverine and raise you a Superbat Lanternman!!".

That's technically already happened. Bruce Wayne temporarily got Kryptonian powers and was also a lantern at another point.

hackneyed multiverse shit

The Multiverse exists and is considered. We're just not going to be doing anything with it and if we ever do, I can promise you that it won't be like whatever the comics have been up to.

Yeah I can sense a Shiny warning coming in.

Like, I know a full cis female route would be complicated, but like... it's not like Null is even depicted outside of the sex minigame and a vague profile silhouette.
Trans/dickgirl route doesn't sound like it'd be super complex, just gimme some femme pronouns and a more narrow waist and I'd be a happy camper.

Null is fundamentally a straight cis male character. It's a "flaw" of our focus on narrative compared to similar games. If all we did was change the pronouns it'd make interactions seem off.

I mean just look how Kurt treats and talks about the female characters and how he treats and speaks to Null. He'll joke around and act like a Bro with Null because he assumes a dude would appreciate that brotherly attitude. Considering the traumatic events that got Null into the mansion, he'd approach a female Null in a rather softspoken manner to seem as harmless as he possibly can. Which you'll notice that's how he talks about the other girls when he warns you that they have been through some shit and to not play with their emotions.

Rogue's sexuality would be an entirely different kind of awkward situation to approach on top of her touch starvation. Like is she gay? Bi? Or is she just that desperate to be touched? That's an interesting writing point we'd want to explore.

On the other side of the spectrum, Jean viewing you as a "Lil Sis" would be even more questionable as she actually has a younger sister. She has two older brothers which is why the dynamic of controlling an unruly younger boy like Null appeals to her in the first place.

Laura would likely be the only character who wouldn't have any changes due to her ignorance about sex and relationships.

Besides. If we want a trans Null we'd probably want to have a trans individual to have input on the writing process.

We have a female writer and the dev team's girlfriends look over the girls' scripts as well. Which I'd argue is why people find them realistic.

As a card carrying member of the MDSA(Male Dick Sucker Association), not to be confused for the MDSS(Masculine Dingaling Sucking Society) I can already add my input for a bi/gay Null but again... limited artists, time, and budget.

Bug report:

I've passed it onto Ron.

 

[SeveralGeese]

a lot. like, so much.

Huh, fair enough. Gender/sex options is still gonna be my number one request, outside the current scope of the game, but you've made a good enough point as to why it'll take some investment.

What's the crew's opinion on semi-public sex.

Isn't that already in game? The options to fool around on dates is pretty darn spicy.


oh, btw, Bug report: looks like there's some layer issues going on with the tanning system. at least, thats what I assume that weird square is:

I've passed it onto Ron.

I'm curious how. How many futa/trans requests does the team get? It would seem to me that the heterosexual male audience is a lot bigger, but I've never actually asked.

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

Huh, fair enough. Gender/sex options is still gonna be my number one request, outside the current scope of the game, but you've made a good enough point as to why it'll take some investment.

I will say with absolute certainty that my explanation should not be taken as a "no."

But right now I can't expand beyond that.

Mind sharing your save?

You'd be surprised. A lot of dudes enjoy playing as futa or dick girls.

I like tits and I like dicks. Put them together? Two things I like on one individual.

Though again, I am a member of the MDSA.

Sometimes it's just about being interested in playing not-a-dude. We'll never be as hot as Kurt, so why bother?

I will say with absolute certainty that my explanation should not be taken as a "no."

But right now I can't expand beyond that.

Mind sharing your save?

I hear you loud and clear. Thank yall for everything you're doing <3

attached is my save with Laura. Also Rogue, who also has some fuckiness with her outfits, depending on her arm position.

Edit: oop! found another one! though I low key love the idea that Jean was trying to talk dirty and absolutely flubbed it:

This bug is associated with an old screen variant present in old saves. The fix is to use the console to hide the screen, which will fix the save. The console command is:

renpy.hide_screen("belt_screen", layer = "interface")

Fucking tell me about it.


Can confirm that he is a fan of her music on Earth 69.


We've discussed pregnancy at length. The TL;DR is that it's very difficult to have a successful pregnancy when you're being gut punched every week.

I mapped out points in the timeline where a girl could go 9 months without being gut punched but you'd have to romance a girl at a very specific point for it to happen.


1.0 will be when we're 100% done with chapter 1 and our requirements for the engine.

1.1 will be the first update with Chapter 2 story content.


They were male and all died because the Y chromosome they had of Wolverine's DNA was damaged.



LMAO!!!

No idea how long I've been waiting for this take.

The community we've grown is heavily populated by yandere lovers lol


The modders are waiting for 1.0 but them and our code monkeys can tell you that we've added a new toy to play with every numerical update.


We will never be as funny as Four Elements Trainer. I wish we could but I don't see the dev lending us Shady anytime soon lol


Null will have some anti-hero moments. I'm sure you've noticed his more aggressive dialogue options. Though we won't be having a branching villain route.

Corruption is currently present to a certain degree with the quirk system and we've already mapped out Storm, Dazzler, and the unrevealed girls' quirks.


100% this. Once the baseline is established, it will just be waiting on writers and artists.

I doubt you guys would have enjoyed waiting until Chapter 4 for us to fix the UI and have Null stop asking for consent to kiss every 5 seconds.


We're based off the comics.


That would make sense.


Yes.


I don't know why RLE has it that way. They're yellow in our game because I forgot to inform the team of the error before the art update and we all just agreed it looked neat.

I imagine "Green Eyed Laura" will be an early mod.


Sounds a bit complex. We've discussed like 5 different combat systems and even have some assets for them. Though nothing has met our quality standards YET.


We've discussed this and sprites would be cool but we're not sure... again YET.

I'm actually going to put a poll up on the discord.

I am now obligated to present increasingly absurd battle mechanics.
