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

[Crimx42]

Really surprised by how great the game looks, especially the backgrounds, the hallway and the danger room look amazing; I was also not expecting a soundtrack this early, and it really helps with the feel of playing the game. The metal song that plays when you talk with X23 was a nice touch.

My only complaint is with Rogue. It think she needs some changes. I get that the game is going with the goth thing from Evolution(which I personally don't care too much for, I'm too used to how she looks in the comics, i wouldn't mind a option to change the skin tone), but as it stands I think she looks more dead or sick than goth. The game has a high contrast in the shading, and the purple(i guess, not sure) used on her shading makes her look dead. But I think the color of her lips is what makes me feel like this the most.

I would change the color of her lips to black, than she just reads as goth intead of sick. She also need less contrast and maybe a red tint or a slightly more satured base color so she still looks pale while looking more alive. If you want references just look for profissional fully rendered art of Domino And Harley Quinn. Alex Garner does a great job with Harley. Pale characters are just hard to shade in general.

I think it has been pointed out too that her tits look really low, and it looks especially weird on the Nine Inch Nails shirt.
Otherwise, I'm really impressed with the characters, the animations of them winking etc. The presentation is really good.
Also, Laura is the best looking character so far, and she has less contrast on her face, the skin looks perfect. it would be great if the others looked more like her.

Let all remember who fired the first shot...
And so the Waifu War begins!

Rogue looks fantastic, easily 11/10!


On other news, *golf clap* to the person who made the 'fixed bed' and 'messy bed'. Such was completely not necessary, yet adds quite a bit to the subtle charm. Well done!

Truly a man of culture

 

[Crimx42]

Also Kurt looks insanely hot, like wtf. Why is he so pretty?
(but I'm starting to hate reading the accent text)

God damn, this has to be the most dick line in the entire game. Holy wow, I would expect to press a "be an asshole" button before saying something this dickish.
We weren't even this much of an asshole to Farouk at the start.

Android is lagging like hell
Like, Jesus on the cross doing the griddy, the lag is BIG
I don't even know why it's lagging that much, the game looks absolutely fine
Maybe it's the music? I don't know, gonna try it on PC tomorrow

it seems to be related to saving but it also lags like hell eventually by just playing normally

 

[ChronoTriggered]

Only bug I encountered is that the game froze in this screen where the first dialogue option is suposed to happen. Had to quit the game 2 times to make it work.

 

[Farajure]

Just downloaded the preview, so excited to see the progress you've made so far!

On a side note, i've played a few minutes and it might be just me but, i find the font "hard to read" it's like i loose track of which word i was reading, if i loose focus just for a moment, all the letters mix together into gibberish. Then again, It might be just me.

Keep it up!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that i'm not dyslexic

I was one of those that mentioned rogue's tits seeming too low.

Is this the end of the preview? I can't go further, I tried to restart and reload the game but it still stops here:

EDIT: After trying again and again I got an error and was able to ignore it, here's the traceback

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

Am I imagining this, or does Laura look like that Bad Guy singer girl? Bill

I'm not in communication with our artists but I only just noticed this and maybe they looked at her for reference?

I'm too used to how she looks in the comics

She'll be getting more outfits and hairstyles to how she looked in the comics. Outfits upon outfits upon outfits. Expect us to put her to shame.

just look for profissional fully rendered art of Domino And Harley Quinn.

This is a genuinely good comparison for feedback. I'll pass it onto the team.

I think it has been pointed out too that her tits look really low

You're not the only person to mention this and she's meant to have bazongas but yeah. She's too young for this level of sag. I'll ask if they can be raised a bit.

Also Kurt looks insanely hot, like wtf. Why is he so pretty?

Someone may have a crush on Kurt and provided some "pretty" references to be passed onto the artist.

(but I'm starting to hate reading the accent text)

Yeah this seems to be a criticism that will only become more and more common. We're keeping the accents but going FULL in on the phonetics seems to not have been the greatest of ideas. I mean the head writer and I love it but we gotta ensure you guys can even read it.

The Vs replacing Ws is staying though. It's as key to a German accent as Japanese getting their Ls and Rs mixed up.

God damn, this has to be the most dick line in the entire game. Holy wow, I would expect to press a "be an asshole" button before saying something this dickish.

This was meant to be a scene of frustration. Remember THAT was the "warm up" so a little unfiltered venting is a tad realistic. Moments like this aren't going to be common... At least directed at friends. You can be an asshole to your enemies all you want.

I'm not a programmer but I'll mention it.

I haven't heard of this but I'll pass it on anyways.

Can you post a screenshot? In the off chance that you may be seeing things literal and that the game glitched into actual gibberish?

Quick disclaimer. While I promise to pass all the info on, which I have every time I said I will, that's all I actually have the ability to do. That and smack the head writer upside the head when his inner romantic gets the better of him.

lol, it isn't glitching it was just hard for me to read. But by playing some more i noticed that it was problematic only where there was a lot of text cramped in the same place/box/thingamajig.

I'd like to clarify that I didn't mean to criticize/attack the game in any way, I just thought it was something worth mentioning for accessibility (i.e. in case of people with dyslexia), nothing more.

Anyway, here's where I initially noticed that difficulty that i mentioned:

I personally don't have a problem with how they look but if they re gonna change I please encourage you to tell them to not go to the other side completely, like if she got a boob job and they are plastic you know?? I feel that's the problem when you draw them waaay to form and I hate that they do it a lot in most porn based on comics

No worry. I didn't take it as an attack.

How should we go about fixing it? Making the font bolder? A different font entirely? Breaking up the dialogue into more boxes?

The first two could possibly set as an "accessibility feature" but the second one would require some restructuring.

Just realized I had a typo, it was way to firm*

I'd say this. Sort of "maximum yield with minimum cost".

They look like they're hanging low to me too compared to where we can see her clavicle, and compared to the other girls. I wouldn't want them to look fake either, but as far as implants what usually gives them away are the obvious edges of them rather than size(within limits) or lack of sag. That is, unless the surgeon was just terrible. In a properly fitting bra you shouldn't be able to tell they're fake compared to natural perky ones.

I had the same issue with mine as well. Loading a save at the very start didn't fix it, i had to go back to the main menu and start a new game and then it worked just fine.

Yeah that's a good point

 

[itsfickfuckthings]

Maybe that was an intentional choice, but can we have the option to activate scrollback with mousewheel like with Renpy? For me that feels more natural then having to click on "back".
