Ren'Py The Null Hypothesis [v0.8b1] [Ron Chon]

How do you use this console commands?

This is an old technique in Renpy games. Enabling Console mode.

renpy/common/00console.rpy
Line 108

# If true, the console is enabled despite config.developer being False.
config.console = True

Again, defaults to False. Change it to True.

Then you can open console with Shift+O. There are a lot of other things you can do, but if you're unfamiliar with this aspect yet the others are likely a bit too involved just yet.

Issues I've noticed: Laura has errors on first time having sex if nipples pierced. Rogue has error if trying to get nipple pierced, had an error during sex in doggy postion if wearing a bra.
Ui disappears randomly(Corner and interaction bar. Also the sex one but only happened once with jean)

Known issues that are being worked on as we speak <3

The clothing menu for the girls can be a little confusing though, perhaps adding a point explanation would be helpful.

We're adding tool tips!

It would also be nice if there was a button that would just strip them to being nude so building new outfits would be easier.

I'll let the dev team know about this.

More clothes are always nice too, but i think those are already planned

They are

Null's presence during the sex scenes feels off. I'm not sure if its the animations, the angle, or something else, but its different.

Yeah we're taking a look at it as well.

Some things that I personally would love to see is i wish there was a pullout option after climaxing where the girl just lays there while you decide what to do next without null in the picture. The doggy style i think could benefit from being zoomed out just a tiny bit more, it feels like a LOT is happening at the bottom of the scene, especially if you use any toys. Speaking of toys, a transparancy option on those would be nice too.

Again, there is no 'problem' here, but it does feel like a missed opportunity.

You have a point here. Though the reasoning of why we went with what we did is that he genuinely doesn't know the answer. The game takes place shortly after Giant-Size X-Men so a lot of what we know about mutants isn't known by the characters yet.

Red, I think its wonderful that you're excited about the game and have ideas that you think would be cool. I think perhaps part of that, a slightly more expanded character creation and background, could be a wonderful thing for them to do down the road. That said, the full scope of what you are mentioning doesn't really work with the setting or story they are trying to tell in the game.

Even Athletic Null is still not a trained warrior, he's just a college kid. The fact that he is out of his league when compared to the combat prowess of the likes of the X-Men is instrumental to the entire story. Likewise, while there may be times when more fantasy styled art could be appropriate, it would not be in keeping with the comic book aesthetic as they've developed for the game.

Just a small request/suggestion. Can you add Rogue some regular gloves? Those look like dishwashing gloves when you use it alone. Something like Jean's preferably.

 

[Sharinel]

OK, what am I doing wrong here? I'm in Winter but I can't get to actually penetrate anyone. I've gotten Laura to finger herself to orgasm and give me a handjob but neither blowjobs or actual penetration is on offer no matter what I do. Is this something that unlocks later? In which case I am a bit peeved that my partner can have multiple orgasms and I get nothing, the selfish bitch

 

[Wallsfalldown]

Alright. I've pretty much did all the content available (I think)

The girls are wonderful. They each feel unique, with their own personalities. Their clothing is unique to each one. Perfect.
However, the clothing menu is bugged or they actually hate the outfits I gave them and refuse to wear em. Game will have issues when I try to have any of them get piercings.

The map is good. Easy to navigate and has room for expansion for more content. Beautiful work. only issue I've seen is if a girl is supposed to appear as you try to leave, it'll lock the ui away and you'll be forced to rollback.

I play games muted. No comments on the music choices but it's always nice to have the option to.

Menus are a little rough. Sex and clothing menus are confusing to navigate at first with no instruction. Maybe have a small tool tip to start would be good. Let us know how much money we have in more areas than just store and inventory. Let us see it during dates and on the map.

The personality traits are nice, but I don't know how nuanced they are. Can you keep the sibling role-play without the controlling aspect from Jean? Can I go outside with Laura stalking me?

The art is actually amazing. Well done. I love that you can see the wetness of the girls, you can see their nipples through their tops. I haven't played Rogue-like in a long time so idk if this is a new concept, but it is well done here.

The shower system is cool but the the girls putting on the swimsuits after showering AND stripping in front of you is so fucking stupid lmao. It has to be a glitch with their trust stat, right?

But I'm very happy with the game. The team should be very proud of the transformation from what was in Rogue-like's thread to what it is now. I cannot wait to see the improvement.

 

[Locked1]

part of the undressing before laying down into missionary serves as a workaround for this since it drastically reduces the potential artwork needed.

This was actually one of the only things about the game that bothered me. Seemed strange that the very first time getting frisky with any of the girls can result in them stripping down to their underwear just when you ask them to change position. Take the fun out of removing pieces of clothing one at a time. I understand why they went this route, but I hope it's something that gets fixed.

There are Love and Trust thresholds for different activities, as well as some pre-requisite activities. For example one girl might not let you try anal with her if she hasn't let you have normal sex yet. Laura and Rogue have a higher threshold for sex (I believe its actually 1000 love) than Jean because of their respective intimacy concerns. I'd have to pull back up the files to see what Laura's specific thresholds are, but I remember that being a bit frustrating early on too.

I'm on sidequest for Laura : Relationship 2 and have 500/440 love/trust. My feedback would be that if I can't even get a blowjob from her she shouldn't be throwing off her clothes the minute you ask her to lean back and then shoving half a hand up her arse (see : Setting Expectations). Maybe that part needs a wee tweak.

Oh, I don't disagree that some of the stat balancing for this could be retuned.

"Touch Pussy" and "Blowjob" have pretty high trust thresholds, especially compared to the love/trust thresholds for self touch or self finger. She'll also be willing to try to Deepthroat you before she'd consider giving you a footjob.

I can say that this is one of the items I know that the Devs are already aware of and have heard they are reviewing how things are prioritized.

We lifted that from the TV show/comics.

Though the girls will be getting more super outfits.

That... sounds a bit weird. I'll mention it to the dev team.

Known issues that will be fixed soon.

only issue I've seen is if a girl is supposed to appear as you try to leave, it'll lock the ui away and you'll be forced to rollback.

I'll bring it up.

You heard correctly!

It is my understanding that this is among the many types of art that they are hoping to expand on with crowdfunding. Looking over at the patreon page right now, they're not exactly rolling in the dough, but are definitely off to a nice start. I know that it was previously mentioned that they have three artists they are currently working with, so I'd imagine there is new artwork already being commissioned.

 

[GoofyBastard]

This might be a dumb question, but, how long do they have to wear the butt plugs before there ass be loose enough?

Kept forgetting to make this suggestion: remove the post-working hygiene degradation. As it is, 2 of the 3 primary activities (class, train, work) need showering afterwards, which results in you spending more time showering than any other single activity. Having to shower after working also prevents you from working in the afternoon of date nights, leaving only mornings as a possibility, assuming Xavier is even there in the morning.

Removing the hygiene hit would both speed up the game due to less wasted time (spending most of the time in the showers accomplishes little), and it would grant more flexibility on when you can actually work, something already limited by Xavier's presence in his office.

this is a good suggestion! we're in the middle of discussing how to overhaul the core gameplay loop in light of all the great feedback we've been getting. one of the things that I think might work better is having the hygiene penalty only show up after several "sweat-inducing activities" have been performed, so that there isn't a 1:1 ratio with training/working. we also want to make the shower a more happening place to reduce the perceived penalty of showering!

 

[skyward1785]

I don't know if this has been mentioned before or not. Rouge was giving MC handjob, and then asked where do you want to cum. When I pressed Delay, this happened.

Having incremental accumulation could work well, and allows for more flexibility in how you balance activities going forward.

Completely unrelated, but great game you guys have made so far. Definitely the best first release I've seen!

Imo, needing a shower after training makes sense, especially given that the training sessions are described as hours long. It also makes sense to need to shower every day or two regardless of whether you've trained or not. I'm sure you guys will figure it out. I'm just tossing in my two cents

Also, sometimes I get the impression that Laura prefers Null a little smelly. Is that the case? It kinda seems like it should be. Idk how difficult that would be to implement if it isn't already in game, but Laura getting more aroused or loving things Null does more when he's a little grubby makes sense for her character, especially after talking about how much she likes his smell

Right after when this happened, I studied with Laura, then got a text from Rouge that she wants to come over, When Rouge comes over, the game crashes and shows me this screen
