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

[ShinyBoots1993]

Why are they currently broke up? Are we replacing Paul?

I have no idea. I don't keep up with comics.

it is almost impossible to not feel like you're wasting your time when playing porn

Which is why I can just go fap to a dozen or so videos of Rogue

but homewrecking is a difficult fetish to put on screen whilst being interesting.

We're all just tired of Marvel doing it that myself and the writer actually got depressed thinking about us doing it.

Any new teasers for us?

Not quite yet. I'll see if I can wrangle something.

Oh yeah, Shiny, this may have been asked before

I don't mind.

but will there be a villain route, maybe with some mind control involved

No. Not to spoil much but a huge part of the story very much revolves around Null NOT being a villain.

We're also adapting the comics so for things to play out properly, you'd constantly be losing so the next storyline can come along.

or will "anti-hero" be the darkest we can go?

I mean you can go pretty dark. Not sure if murder is an option(yet) but I know you can use more force than necessary if you're going down the Anti-Hero route.

Also, what about female villains? Any plans for them? Maybe some redemption arcs?

It's been discussed.

so can someone summarize what else will be coming with the initial release? i think patreon and discord?

We will be setting up the patreon with some exclusive benefits for the higher up tiers. We're not going to pull any bullshit like hiding sidequest or special sex scenes behind paywalls but some extra goodies to make it worth it other than the satisfaction in knowing that the more money we have, the more complex systems and scenes we can add. I think one of the perks is the full OST as a downloadable album for you to listen to outside the game.

I mean this is f95 so one of you is going to be willing to pay like $50* to get all the perks just to share here but eh $50 is $50 and I know we have people who genuinely want to contribute.

We'll also have a discord for the public. It's already set up. We just have it private right now because we wanna keep things centralized in this thread for the time being.

*We haven't discussed actual tiers or their pricing yet. It was just an example.

Now i can only think of null being like "I HAVE THE POWER" and then fucking the evil out of them.


I think subscription tiers should be low, like max 5 of whatever currency. Maybe 1, 3 and 5. I agree that nothing should be kept from the game for higher pricing, instead offering alternate benefits. Having multiple thousand of low paying subscribers is better than 100 so higher paying people. I understand wanting more to put in the game, but saying and doing are two different things and most fall short.

Also many make the mistake of giving that person a higher weight in opinions. I mean modern games discounting DLC is a one off payment. This project is going to run for years realistically. This however is just my opinion.

Plus, it's less of a hit if/when people decide to pull their money

Is it possible to be a normally heroic guy, but just have a berserk button like when your girls are hurt or whatever it might be and then just go off on somebody?

 

[SauceMixer]

...

Man I just can't wait. Gonna need like 3, maybe 4 teasers in the mean time

So what are the kinks planned for the game?

 

[Crichton]

So what are the kinks planned for the game?

Consent, hand holding, bdsm

Yes. We've specifically set certain situations to allow a player to roleplay that response and the character will notice.

Consent, hand holding, bdsm

This.

Though other than that, I don't want to go too far into things juuuust yet. I will, but not right now.

 

[doizoid.]

Will there be corruption? Slowly corrupting a gal to love things that she previously didn't like (something like making a gal like anal and exhibition in RLE but I want those corruption scenes to be more dense, I want to see the dialogues that you have to select to convince them to do those things, corruption in RLE is waay too easy)

Again, sorry for comparing it with RLE. There's just no other example to compare it to

 

[chacha95]

Oh yeah, are there gonna be, like, college shenanigans? Like parties and drinking and stuff? Or like, worrying about midterms and things? Y'know, slice of life stuff. And if it hasn't already been asked, any chance for a music teaser?

Yes and no, but mostly yes.

We're not allowing the player to pressure a girl into doing something they'd never be willing to do. Luckily for you on Earth-69 most women are will never be so opposed to swallowing or anal that you have to resort to evil mind games to get them to do it.

But we do have certain characters that we've discussed regarding their quirks that very much play out as corruption. We were talking about traditional corruption of a wide eyed girl into fairytale romance being turned into a kinky girl who will call you daddy and we also know we have plans for one character whose route will involve pushing the line exhibitionism further and further than normal compared to other girls.

Again, sorry for comparing it with RLE. There's just no other example to compare it to

No worries. As long as people understand that NH is not meant as a replacement of RLE, I don't mind. It's a fair comparison.

Oh yeah, are there gonna be, like, college shenanigans? Like parties and drinking and stuff? Or like, worrying about midterms and things? Y'know, slice of life stuff.

Oh yes, most definitely. While they won't be in the initial release, holiday events and dorm parties have been discussed and will probably be retroactively included into chapters when we get around to it.

And if it hasn't already been asked, any chance for a music teaser?

I'll ask.

So all women are just easy-going? Even without you? Do we get background gags about other young adults hecking?

Easier going

Easier going

What Crichton said. I assume Shiny didnt mean wild and easy, banging everyone at the school. Just less close minded about stuff when with the player I guess

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

No.

Yes.

Are there any plans to release more teaser stuff between now and release?

Ryan Reynolds not only offered to take a paycut but apparently came up with the idea of Wade forgetting his guns to bring it down to a more manageable scale (as well as one of the more memorable jokes in the movie). He also paid to get the likeness of Bea Arthur into the film out of his own pocket. He really did believe in the movie.

Rumor has it he was also the one who leaked the test footage, which led to the movie being greenlit in the first place (I think I remember him making a winking reference to that himself, without explicitly confirming it).

women - just as ever, don't let anyone tell you otherwise - want a man that wishes to protect.

I'll tell you otherwise. The woman I was with for two years (the one I mentioned before who looked like a model) did not want or expect or need me to protect her. People are individuals. "Women" (as a unified, homogenous group) do not want anything. You probably wouldn't like it if the people writing this game wrote it like all women act the same way in some regard or had the same opinion about a particular subject, so don't treat real women (who are far more complex and diverse than video game characters) like that either.

Here you go. Our music guy threw this together.
