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

[bismism]

Also Nightcrawler's parentage is something that will need to be heavily debated by the dev team eventually.

Do we go by Claremont's intentions? Do we stick to what was originally published? The retcon?

Honestly, I think the most recent iteration that kinda middle-grounds Claremont's intent and the Azazel concept works well enough. There's at least more precedent for it compared to some retroactive sexuality changes (which I don't personally take issue with, but that's an off-topic matter). I think the only part of it I take issue with is the "why", but that's more a gripe with how writers use Destiny herself at the end of the day.

Just tossing an idea out for consideration:
In an effort to subvert the melodrama surrounding the canon retcon singularity, have Azazel just be some guy they happened to know/have met & thought was hot, and a night of shapeshifting roleplay went a little too right. Keeps the basics of the incident without the weirdness of the prophecies as an excuse. Just people being people. Also avoids any concerns of infidelity with regard to the characters - not that Mystique being in a closed relationship has really ever been a thing, lest we forget the much more concerning Foxx incident...... Which would be fucked up to be the target of in-game, though a little funny when considering how so many players seem to run into cheating issues as is In a cosmic sense, of course.
Not expecting this idea to stick, of course. Y'all take whatever direction you think best fits the intended narrative - plus, there's some time before that'll even become relevant in-game, I'd wager. Tossing out pennies, etc.

It's been speculated, but never confirmed.

EDIT: Though talk about needing Dick Therapy........

Does anyone knows which files is making this calculation ? I want to increase considerably the numbers so i can make early game the wardrobe, and be done with it for the whole game .

I checked on the /scripts/base/clothing.rpy file and the game/scripts/clothing folder, and didn't find the trust/love value.

The code has changed since I've posted that.

./base/clothing.rpy:31

define public_shame_multiplier = 4.0
define exercise_shame_multiplier = 2.5
define private_shame_multiplier = 0.4

./base/clothing.rpy:509 (one of many)

                        if flag in ["public", "date"]:
                            if approval_check(self.Owner, threshold = public_shame_multiplier*hypothetical_Outfit.shame):
                                proceed = True
                        elif flag in ["exercise", "swim"]:
                            if approval_check(self.Owner, threshold = exercise_shame_multiplier*hypothetical_Outfit.shame):
                                proceed = True
                        elif approval_check(self.Owner, threshold = private_shame_multiplier*hypothetical_Outfit.shame):
                            proceed = True

./mechanics/approval.rpy:15

    def approval_check(Character, flavor = None, threshold = None, extra_condition = None, multiplier = 1.0, not_found_value = (0, 0)):
        if not isinstance(Character, CompanionClass):
            return 0

        if flavor is None:
            value = Character.love + Character.trust

./mechanics/approval.rpy:51

        elif isinstance(threshold, float) or isinstance(threshold, int):
            if value + 0.0*abs(renpy.random.gauss(0, stat_sigma)) < multiplier*threshold:
                return False

So:
if
love + trust + (0.0 * abs(renpy.random.gauss(0, stat_sigma)))
(don't know why that last part is there. 0.0 times anything is still zero. Programming language math still follow PEMDAS. ShinyBoots1993 , might want to point that out to ronchonbon . It won't affect anything unless renpy's random number generator is costly, which sometimes is the case, but it's better to not have these calculations if possible.)

is less than

shame_type_multiplier * outfit_shame

the outfit is rejected.

If you remember your inequality math, the equation is pretty much the same.
love + trust < multiplier * outfit_shame
If you divide both sides by the multiplier, you need to change the direction of the inequality.
(love + trust) / multiplier > outfit_shame
And 1/4 (1 / public shame multiplier) = 0.25 and 1/2.5 (1 / exercise shame multiplier) is the same as 4/10 which 0.4.


This has been your reminder to thank your high school math teacher.

How often does this game updates? And does it update full seasons or unfinished?

 

[Karmadive]

How often does this game updates? And does it update full seasons or unfinished?

It's hard to peg down an exact development cycle but it's usually a month or 2 between big updates (and then a bunch of minor updates fixing things through out that month). I think the longest period between updates was almost 3 months? It probably depends on what content they are working on.

The big updates are not always full seasons, it could also be fleshing out the various systems of the game like clothing, dating, sex. (adding new clothing, new sex positions, new dialogue).


To sum up they are pretty good at keeping a decent pace of releasing content.

She's not in the game yet. She's being introduced in Chapter 2

Here's the preview picture View attachment 4382143

Thanks. I haven't been following this closely and was wondering about whether she'd be added. I'm looking forward to it but not gonna lie, I will always like the X-Men: Evolution version of her the best.

 

[vemnaroladopai]

I will always like the X-Men: Evolution version of her the best.

Considering how the other girls were implemented, I think it would be a reasonably safe bet to assume that, looks wise, you will be able to make Kitty look like her Evolution version. Now, the writing is a whole different debate - and I'm not familiar with it, in fairness - but I'd put my money on her debuting with the Evo ponytail as an option at the very least.

 

[swiver]

I don't care insanely hot Emma is, my Null will never bow down to her and no amount of attempted mind control will make it happen. there's a question for the team. can Emma even control Null?

Not my Null. My Null would put on a collar and bark for the princess! lol. (he'd be suggesting sharper/higher heels though...)

She's not in the game yet. She's being introduced in Chapter 2

OH!!! Wonderful! Blondie looks even better!

Do wish Storm looked a little different, idk, face too long or something, not aged enough or less voluptuous than should be imo. Also much of same sad puppy eyes so far, which was tolerable for the girls, not hot teach, ... but you can't appeal to everyone at once I suppose. Four out of 6 chicks to enjoy is great (Laura's belly is way too ripped imo, though her softer(?) bush of recent updates is an improvement for my taste). Jaast blabing here.

I hope the bug of Null's arm from h-scene on butt or choking being carried over with the girl (Jean in my case) everywhere afterwards has been reported. (that was a rather quick fix, sorry didn't get a chance to report in time myself. Kudos though)

I have also just noticed Jean is described as 5,6"! Seriously?! She's 5,8"+ or ya'll are soup! This is all very fraudulent, I have half a mind to report you!

BTW, ever consider metric? I'm kinda guessing, all in all, Anglosaxon is not the majority of the audience.. I mean even the southern colony, aka Oz has adopted decimal system... Anyway, just a cultural wondering, don't care, got used to this more for pervy purposes cause it was more common finding it until a few years ago when searching for actresses'/pornstars' heights..

Anyway looking forward to finding out what that facepaint taste like. Until then, I'll be sluttin' up the the outfits!

I'm more excited for storm TBH

Graphics are so much more polished than in that other game you know, but god i cant stand h-scenes here. "Umh huh may i... hold your hand... very much please..."

It's as if null is canonically sub

 

[CakeOG]

I really like the game but man the sex gameplay feels so empty. Why do i play a story that has character development just to end in a sandbox sex menu? I dont get it or am i missing something?

 

[Acremba]

i'm trying to understand. what these useless updates are for?

Because the game isn't finished yet. They're planning on have the game be a full 6 chapters, if I remember right. At the moment, only chapter 1 is done

 

[salscou]

My Null would put on a collar and bark for the princess!

Princess?!
Shes the white queen, respect the name!

OH!!! Wonderful! Blondie looks even better!

Dazzler is a snack allright.

Laura's belly is way too ripped imo

Dont you dare shit talk the abs, she got them from her papa.

"Umh huh may i... hold your hand... very much please..."

Thats actually been adressed, you ask permission once, then a second time ask if you can repeat, and never again after that.

Why do i play a story that has character development just to end in a sandbox sex menu? I dont get it or am i missing something?

Are you seriusly implyinga CG with text is better for the sex?
I cannot for the life of me understand this opinion, i rather fuck the girls MY way, not what the writer/artist want in a glorified cutscene.

i'm trying to understand. what these useless updates are for?

What do you mean useless?

 

[LewdPrincess]

I just want her to do Gif-Rel for Null. For a game about young people with super-powers there is a surprising lack of them being used during sex. Kitty is one of the few girls who could double deep-throat a guys cock with another girl thanks to her powers.

I see Sue Storm is the pegging girl everyone has been waiting for.

 

[darkstel]

The game is under technical development so that it doesn't get stuck in the future due to the need to redo it for only five years, as we see in some other games. Before version 1.1, you can not wait for progress in the plot.

Am i just slow as heck or did it take anyone else forever to notice the oxytocin formula on the blackboard in the class room?

No, I caught that too I just didn't think it was relevant to bring up. For those who don't get the reference it's a naturally occurring chemical in the brain that is responsible for pair bonding in humans (both platonic and romantic love), it's also one of the organic molecules that is said to be a critical component in triggering x-gene mutations alongside adrenaline and cortisol.
