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

[Humalien]

You're surprised that this happened?

No, it was more like a pleasant surprise. Rouge and Jean never liked each other because they both had a thing for Scott, but the difference is that Rouge is mean because of how her 'curse' affects everyone around her, and Jean has an ego problem. Okay, now I know how to make NPCs hate each other but what should I do to make them get along? How do I invite them to train together? Because even though they’re in the same room, I can only train with one at a time.

Take everyone you want to improve their friendship to the pool at one time, and sunbathe with them. I think swimming also works

Okay, thanks. Strange feature, I thought the pool was mainly for regaining trust. Alright, time to spend the next month at the pool.

Honestly, at this point you should add the exclamation mark like in MGS above the girls that can spot you cheating and add the alarm noise with the countdown)

I'm sharing this with the dev team.

Reminder that we are still early in development despite the polish of our presentation.

I can say that the writers are actively working on providing more ways of boosting friendship.

So, 0.5 doesn’t mean that half of the game is completed? Still in the EARLY stages... Not to complain or anything, but 2 years of work and the foundations aren’t even done yet, that’s quite a long time. Most projects last a max of 4 years, it would be a shame if the developer burned out before finishing. Fingers crossed, hope the work speeds up before someone loses motivation.

Hibernate for 2 years and you'll live!

Will I get in trouble if I share console commands to speed up gameplay?

Yes. As a matter of fact the police are on their way right now!

if you don't like the speed of development, then leave and don't come back. most of us enjoy the new updated UI and content however big or small it is and we don't want people like you here to take a crap on it when the team making this game is giving it their all while trying to stay true to the source material

But did I ever say that I don't appreciate the work put in? Or that I don't value the artistic contribution? I'm just worried that the inspiration will run out before the end, it happens. We're all only human, and sometimes we just need to 'reset,' which unfortunately means leaving the project. I used to be passionate about drawing comics, and back then, even in my worst nightmares, I never thought I'd get bored of what I was doing... unfortunately, I also experienced burnout (currently on my second year of break).
As for the game itself, it's great that the artists pay attention to the smallest details, even the fact that after sunbathing at the pool, the characters have tan lines and pale skin under their bikinis. The lore matches what I know from Marvel comics, which requires knowledge and continuous quality control. I know it's a lot of work, just writing the script requires perseverance.
I'm just genuinely worried.

Attend class
- XP: <=72 (64 w/o attendence bonus, w/ stamina3)
- Friendship among girls: +1 (pool +2)
- Trust +6 (5)

You gain enough friendship with everyone until Summer by only attending class with them all.
Pool is still okay on weekends if there is nothing else to do.

Do we know if or when they will add more characters? Storm made an appearance (maybe she'll be permanent later), but it's still just one person. If you can max out Laura Jean and Rogue in Chapter 1, what then? There won't be anyone left to 'work on.'

Storm is confirmed for Chapter 2.

Every chapter the game will receive 3 new girls.

Do not expect girls to be airdropped into the sandbox at random.

We will continue to update all girls as the game goes on.

This is a benefit of the X-Men being consistently good at utilizing their team-make ups so there's no lacking for content.

Yeah it led to like 4 or 5 different team comics but in the case of the Avengers (Who at most have 2 and a half teams), they had heroes who disappeared for long periods of time.

Why the fuck does rogue say its okay having multiple partners when she gets heartbroken if you do? s there isnt even an option to talk to rogue about Jean. But then rogue says you should have told her about jean!!! i literally cant!!! wtf! there is no option too! And its still so buggy!

Edit: I've removed profanity, and made it kinder

 

[FacelessVixen]

I'm just genuinely worried.

If this game as we currently know it was several years into development, I'd share your concern. But, from my understanding, the game launched as "0.2a" last October (before existing as a mod for RLE in 2022, of which eventually become "Null 0.1" between that and October 2023), and the developers have said multiple times that the plan with these earlier builds is to establish and polish the fundamental systems as toughly as possible before adding new content, as opposed to having a back and forth between adding content and attempting to refine the various systems and features that they're using to hold everything together. Yes, it's a "slow" start (though I by all means wouldn't say that having three fully intractable characters is a slow start), but these devs seem to be paying attention to what other games are doing (or have done in cases were certain games became abandoned), and are learning form their successes and failures. And we're still at a point where the devs are listening to player feedback (give or take how helpful said feedback may be), which counts for something since other developers either become tunnel visioned on what they want to do, or are tunnel visioned from the jump, especially with games were the team is just one perosn.

So with all that said, it's too soon to start worrying about the future of this game. It is true the passion projects lose passion over time, but it's not even the 1 year anniversary for this game yet.

Why the fuck does rogue say its okay having multiple partners when she gets heartbroken if you do? so fucking stupid! Id subject myself to an ntr game instead of this garbage. Complete waste of fucking time! there isnt even an option to talk to rogue about Jean. But then rogue says you should have told her about jean!!! i literally cant!!! wtf! there is no option too! And its still so buggy! Im so fucking tempted to review this game! But ill give it a chance and wait!
