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

[360oogaboogabooga]

To be educational:

A polycule is when there are multiple people dating each other.

A harem is when multiple people are dating just one person.

As TNH is framing the relationship in the game as a polycule, where the girls are also dating each other, it would mean that technically, Kitty and her mom would be dating if Null has both of them join.

There is something called a "Satellite Member" when it comes to polycules in that it's someone who is only dating a single member of the polycule.

This however would likely not be a reasonable explanation for Patreon. We currently do not have enough money to fully fund the game. Ron is dipping into his own pockets.

So we literally cannot afford to lose our patreon access.

yeah but most of the interactions are of them being ok being in a harem but the dialog between them suggests they arent dating eachother aswell they at most are just friends

Hope our kitty is very non-kosher.

She wouldn't be in the game if Null wasn't gonna pork her.

So the choices you make throughout the story won't lead you onto a full evil route; they'll only alter other characters' perception of Null right? My question is: Are there any plans for an "evil route" in the future, once all the chapters have been completed? Like DLC for example.

Or is that not even on the table at the moment? I realise this is like, most likely years from now so all good if the answer is just no lol

Here's ShinyBoots's previous answer to a similar question.

Here's ShinyBoots's previous answer to a similar question.

I already saw this. I was asking if there would be plans for a future dlc type update where an "evil" route could be explored once the story was complete.

I put evil in air quotations because I understand a fully evil route isn't what this game is about and it ain't what I would want either personally. An "evil" route where like, the Brotherhood kinda take advantage of Null's trauma and steer him into joining the Brotherhood.

I think it could be a really interesting perspective we never really get to see much of in X-Men. Null's trauma with the sentinels and the anti-mutant mob etc. spurring him to fight on the "wrong" side. Again this is like, a big question when we're not even on Chapter 2 yet lol

 

[NexivSelecaf]

Too skinny you mean?

Yeah. Sister girl needs a couple of home cooked meals that'll stick to those ribs. Storm isn't lanky.

Also, I just think there's too much visual information going on - like sensory overload or something - and not in a Grace Jones kind of way.

Fair enough. I personally think something like what you're describing will only have a chance of happening if someone actually puts up the money necessary and then some extra on top to justify the time and effort that would be needed to make it happen; just like the idea for a female Null.

The idea of a few alternative routes would be pretty cool. Like branch out to a brotherhood route, getting recruited by xcalibur or x factor (where I can finally have some Polaris time!) Each route could have their own list of partners in order to have null not have to deal with 15+ girls at same time and increase replayability.
Ofc I understand such thing isnt feasible right now due to increased workload/art budged multiple branches would require.

Yeah this is basically asking for an entirely separate game.

In the Phoenix Saga alone, you have the X-Men encountering Erik the Red, Jean getting a boost in cosmic radiation causing the Phoenix persona to surface, the events of Cassidy Keep, the M'kraan Crystal storyline, the drama with Department H and the Guardian, the time the X-Men got brain washed into the circus, the entire Hellfire Club conflict, the Dark Phoenix sub-saga, the trial of Jean Grey hosted by the Shi'ar.

And that's just the general run. It's around this time where we start getting Wolverine and Kitty storylines, a crossover with Spider-Woman, a crossover with the Avengers where Rogue steals Ms Marvel's powers.

Now we're not going to be adapting every issue of the comic because Null wouldn't realistically be present for every single event as not every member of the X-Men was present for all of these stories.

However Chapter 2 is a good indication of how TNH is going to be a very plot heavy game.

Chapter 1 is just to introduce people not familiar with the comics of the setting and tone for this era of the X-Men.

 

[Nothankinator]

Anyone else game lag like shit??

 

[Hiarus]

the time the X-Men got brain washed into the circus

...so we can expect sexy clown make up and clothing options for girls in the future, got it

You know, jokes aside, you'd think a team with multiple psychics would be better prepared for this kinda stuff lol

 

[DarkLurker12]

This whole thing about art of Kitty's mom had me scowering Steven E. Gordon's online galleries looking for it TO NO AVAIL!!
Only for Steve to come in clutch!

To celebrate, have Kitty's Mom.

I did find some great artwork though. No wonder so much porn is based on Evo's designs.

Nope. Not even on my Steam Deck.

Good idea for a sequel?? >:3

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

For our shiniest pair of boots...

I love you.

Though this makes things painful. Buttholder and I had like multiple 2-3 hour calls about female and gay Null stories.

Good idea for a sequel?? >:3

We've had publishers talk to us so we'd likely make something original so we could actively make $$$ off of it once we finish TNH.

It'd be the logical and financially wise thing to do because right now TNH is in a net loss for itself with Ron needing to dip into his personal funds to pay for a lot of art.

I have outlined general ideas for up to 4 Sequels to TNH. 2 visual novels and 2 more sandboxes.

All of which Buttholder also helped me discuss because we are nerds.

Yeah, they are so iconic people are still horny about it 25 years later.

>all those pictures
Damn, i didnt know he drew so much Laura.

Look at that Body art. Null must have been there so the Artist could actually work

I stick to my previous argument.

pour one out for the Mocca Laura we lost

When she was ported over to the comics she was made caucasian to look more like Logan, OG Laura looked nothing like her old man.

I have outlined general ideas for up to 4 Sequels to TNH. 2 visual novels and 2 more sandboxes.

Does Null goes off to fight in the infinity war in one of them?
Cause i could see Null going off to space to tame that space strange.
