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

[ronchonbon]

The man himself
Hey is the sex minigame with scoring optional? I remember playing huniepop, I had to resort to cheat engine to give a girl an orgasm. Dreadful

Anyways great game and great output pace. Sucks how much hate you got in the start, but I was very impressed with how calmly you handled it
Hope you figure out a combat system!

not currently optional, but I think you'll find that it's really not too onerous, especially in later seasons. I think the only time you might have to strategize a bit is trying to hook up in the first season with limited actions available

give it a try and let us know what you think. if enough people find it too tedious, we can consider making it a toggle!

thanks for the kind words!

Old saves not working, huh? Yikes. I actually had a ton of fun with the game (I've only started it recently) but I guess it's not really worth playing right now if it actually requires new saves all the time. Maybe I'll just wait till the game is much further ahead. Also, hopefully there's gonna be a lot more X-Men women in the future like Mystique, Kitty, Psylocke and obvious ones like Storm (I hope she actually stays at the school, so we can date her as well).

Wow, this looks super high level, how can i never know this

When they released the first version I thought it was horrible, full of bugs and totally strange, but now the game is wonderful, unlike Rogue Like where everything comes down to sex with minimal interactions with the characters, here we have development and you end up liking it even more of your favorite characters, Laura MVP.

 

[Laritas]

Yes, the annoying thing with the saves.

On the one hand, you can expect a game, especially at such an early stage of development, to constantly take this into account. It would also be counterproductive if things couldn't be introduced or changed because of the integrity of the savegame.

On the other hand, as a player you don't feel like playing the same beginning over and over again to get the new content.

Are there any cheats that you can use to shorten things here and there that you don't feel like doing again?

 

[Fernando Gamboa]

developer believe to achieve!!

 

[Evil13]

Okay, for the people complaining about having to do new saves...get over it.

There's mini story events for each girl in each season and a new game is necessary to see them. It actually makes the game easier to play, as these events can help raise those stats.

Ron addressed it a couple comments before, but they are working so in future update you won't have to make new saves, this time it happened cause they rebuild a lot of the systems and changed the UI completely. But if you like the story element of the game this build is 100% worth playing cause it integrated a lot of mini events for each girl in every season that helps develop the relationships and also helps with the stats, and of course you can see the new designs of the girls with different standing poses + more

A suggestion for the those people would be to Just wait until 3 or more updates comes so that they'll have plenty of Content to play.

when can we expect the new animations in live 2d to be implemented?

 

[Mutation8888]

Looks great. The UI is intuitive and has more options... and a skill menu. Ororo looks 10 times hotter. Nice job so far. No bugs detected yet.

Sorry for being this guy but android doesn't have a skip button. Also the game crash after like 10 minutes.

How much RAM does your Android have? I think from testing we thought the sweet spot would be about 4 GB.

I can add a Skip button the quick menu. Never thought to do that, thanks!

The new interface is annoying. The icons have become smaller, the map has become smaller. Now it has become more difficult to visually find and click. For some reason they made the entire interface in same color - gray. For what,
to make it harder and longer for players to visually find the right buttons? By right-clicking instead of the save menu, a general menu is now called up where everything possible has been crammed in (Hello Hogwarts Legacy). For some reason, the locations of the “Love” and “Trust” received were moved.
Without touching the game's plot and art, the interface is terrible.

Add
The dialog box now blocks part of the character. And it is now located vertically, not horizontally. And now, instead of a short mouse movement, you need to move the cursor across almost the entire screen to select an answer in the dialogue.

I don’t understand why developers lowered menu for selecting actions in the character’s room (Study, close the door, turn off the light, etc.). Now the menu is not almost in the upper left corner, but in the lower left corner. Now the menu is not almost in the upper left corner, but in the lower left corner. Developers, look at almost any game on renpu, the action selection menu is almost in the upper left corner for a reason. This is more convenient for the human eye. Therefore, start on the desktop and close/minimize icons are in the corners and not in the middle of a screen.

I got 4gb ram. Now it doesn't crash but a bit lag during changing location. But yeah for now it's playable.

 

[giantboss]

It's a great game, it's like what rogue like should have been for years!
Also, are you guys planning of adding kitty pryde like in the original?

 

[erow]

Just started a new save and I must say, Goddamm... There are a lot of art improvements, especially on the expressions, everything looks a lot sharper now instead of the old blury watercolor/airbush look the girls and clothes have more clear details. Hands still look a little weird on some poses but that is not an art issue but a perspective one, since the hand on the background looks the same size as the one in the fore ground, I would shrink them a little (5-10% just the hand) because some poses they look bigger than the other, not sure how much work it is to do in game but they can look a little disproportional as it stands sometimes.
Really liked the new filters the old one felt a little to distracting in comparison.
Still wishing for a app shortcut but having the status one on the phone home page is already an improvement
The new UI is a 9/10 very readable and undistracting but a little to transparent, would be nice to give the background a little more contrast so it would not blend as much in the background.

All in all a very good first impression on this update and I will come back with my full thoughts later.

Was right-clicking disabled? Having to hit escape is more than a little clumsy and annoying.

Edit : Ah, my bad, it's because I was in the intro segment or something. It brings up a map or something.

Eh...honestly not a fan of that. It's like asking someone to suddenly drive a right-hand drive car all of a sudden. Sure, you can do it, but after doing it the other way for 25 years it's a bit counter intuitive. It's the same with completely changing the way a Ren'Py game works.

They didn't turn it off. Now you need to go through the entire introduction of null, and as soon as the “open world” begins, only then the right click will work. Only now the right click does not bring up the save menu, but brings up the general menu, where everything is thrown in.

For some reason, they changed the usual position of the buttons and interface design. Why, to be different from everyone else?
