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

[ShinyBoots1993]

Its kinda a shame that the game doesn't receive more attention...

Share it around and it will.

I think is better than RLE in almost every aspect except sex scenes :c

We're currently updating the art and applying live 2D to it.

The mini-game part where not every body part contributes to equal pleasure in the way RLE does is not being removed.

There is still an auto button that will "win" it for you.

Sadly no virgin anal.

Yet.

Basically, it looks like they are trying to cover several bases while trying to remain true to the comic book character personalities.

Correct.

The comics never go deep in porn stats

Yes, but we make approximations based on our interpretation of the character. We don't just read a few lines and decide on a whim. The pacing differences between the current girls took several months to pin down and we've been spending the time of Chapter 1's release discussing the pacing of the girls for Chapter 2.

As community manager I have been keeping track and, for those willing to voice their opinion, the game has received far more praise for our attempts than complaints that the girls don't equally love the same thing and put out within the first five minutes of meeting them.

dude who cares, at least this game dev are considering adding pregnancy in the future content while RLE are like
"no you cant, it won't happen,period"

Which is surprising because RLE doesn't have any of the restraints that TNH has.

... actual question here... but if Null can disable powers, and can also disable effects done by powers (broken unbreakable phone...)
then wouldn't Cyclops Optic beam fizzle out before reaching Null?

Yes. I mean it'll be intimidating because objects in motion stay in motion so every time Scott shoots a blast it only slows, it doesn't automatically disappear.

I'm sure if Scott tried hard enough, which everything shown shows he's not patient enough to do it, there would be a sweet spot where he's far enough to not have his power turned off but he's close enough to have the blast hit Null. Even if it'll be reduced in power.

 

[Mutation8888]

The next big life-threatening trigger should start with Spike swiping Scott's' visor and Null dodging out of control optic blasts wishing he had Jean's power to telekinetically lobotomize Cyclops.

Win-win. Cyclops is a drooling imbecile (more than usual) and Null is a telepath.

Would not work since Null's power would likely nullify Scott's optic blasts about two feet from him (edit according to how the dev's designed his power).

I could see that since it would not be Scott's optic blast actually reaching Null, but the concussion from super dense air blasts and some flash heat from friction hitting Null. Even then, side effects from powers would still work, such as Scott blasting the ground out from under Null or shooting the ceiling above Null to create hazards.

Speaking of buttons, is there a hotkey for the "keep going" action in the mini-game?

Can we start asking for Kitty Pryde in the game?

I want:

Emma Frost
Psylocke
Scarlet Witch and/or Polaris

 

[fapderp11]

What's the requirement for getting the girls to wear belly piercings?

 

[fapderp11]

Also, does locking the door do anything?

Yes, exactly this.

Even then, side effects from powers would still work, such as Scott blasting the ground out from under Null or shooting the ceiling above Null to create hazards.

Marvel doesn't make their characters smart enough to think this tactically.

Unless you're like Captain America, only half the time, or The Punisher, again only half the time.

Speaking of buttons, is there a hotkey for the "keep going" action in the mini-game?

That is the auto button.

Or do you mean like not having to repeatedly click "Rub leg"?

A surprisingly large amount of games don't have a "keep going" button. Most I see is a "Do nothing." that it's 50/50 on whether it stops the action entirely or just has things go more passively.

Iwant:

Emma Frost
Psylocke
Scarlet Witch and/or Polaris

Those are all on the list of potential girls.

Also, does locking the door do anything?

A lot of things. I just don't know how much of it has been programmed into the game yet and I'm not about to get scolded for revealing things I see on the google doc.

But the basic is that people can walk in on you doing the dirty or while studying and in both instances, when we get threeways and group study sessions programmed, they could ask to join in.

 

[Underlord7]

There's something strange I noticed while playing the game. Sometimes when I wanna rollback it returns me way more then just one step. For example, I did a job for Xavier and then went on to do other things ingame, then I clicked on back and boom I was back in my room getting paid. This happens almost randomly. It seems that this is affecting certain saves too, as sometimes loading the save puts me at different place then I saved at.

Is it possible old 0.2 saves are somehow interfering with this new version?

 

[Thwip!]

Iwant:

Emma Frost
Psylocke
Scarlet Witch and/or Polaris

Is it too early to start hoping for the Stepford Cuckoos? It'd be nice having group sex with the Three-in-One telepaths.
Although I wonder if it would even be possible to interact with more than one girl at a time given how sex scenes currently work.

This can happen if what seems like two or three separate actions are actually within the same variable.

You mostly see it happen in HTML games as it's much easier to notice in that the new text is just a drop-down or a new screen entirely.

Anything with a "back" feature can have this hiccup.

And that is the extent of my programming knowledge lol

Is it too early to start hoping for the Stepford Cuckoos?

If we stick by a timeline, they're either post-game chapter 6 DLC, or sequel material.

Three-in-One telepaths.

Five. A lot of other comic timelines and non-comic media downsize to three by default.

They're the S.P.I.C.E girls for a reason.

Although I wonder if it would even be possible to interact with more than one girl at a time given how sex scenes currently work.

We've jokes that they'd have 5 stamina points and each girl represents one of the stamina points

That would be fuckin' great.

The devs are aware of them, but I wouldn't put too much stock on seeing them any time soon for reasons stated by Shiny... but I advocate for sequel, for what is worth.

Comic book physics are a bitch. I've always considered Null as able to nullify a mutant from using the mutation - Cyclops from firing a beam, Jubilee from sparking, or Banshee from screaming. But if the power is activated, is the energy released by a mutant inherently a mutant energy that Null can negate? Or is it like a bullet, once the gun is fired?

The closest thing we've seen is Jean and her tennis ball training, and I'm unclear if she's driving them telekinetically, or just flinging them at him. The latter would suggest Null can negate momentum. If he can muck around with Newtonian mechanics, he's damn close to Omega level already.

A lot of things escape my memories, but I distinctly remember a lot of discussions on this on the discord always ending with the devs saying that Null cannot stop the momentum of objects, for example, Spyke throwing his... well, his spikes at you are still gonna fly through the air.

 

[Nosurrender]

It is strange to have Laura and Jean want to Dom ou but let you call all the shots in bed and can't be on top. I'd especially like to see Laura go primal, pin you down like a prey and ride you. Maybe as you get better in trainings, you could wrestle with her to be the one on top.

 

[Siby02]

Is ther any gay content planned?

Which brings us back to the question on the nature of Cyclop's eye beam. Our boy apparently needs to boink Sue Richards to get a forcefield for ranged attacks.

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

Spyke throwing his... well, his spikes at you are still gonna fly through the air.

Correct. We want some stakes when it comes to fighting other mutants.

We cut cowgirl for time. It's being added back as soon as the art is finished.

Is ther any gay content planned?

I fuckin' wish my dude but two things are getting in the way of that.

1. Our current artists don't like drawing gay porn. I ain't gonna shame them no matter how badly I want to sleep with Nightcrawler.

2. We have a lot of writing to do and art to pay for with the female cast. So if we did both at the same time it'd double production time and cost.

We're not going to include homewrecking.

 

[Poker_king70]

We're not going to include homewrecking.

What? That's downright un-American!

What's next - No furries? ANd if so, what am I going to with all this Hank McCoy/Tigra erotica?

 

[Reynold]

Damn, it slipped my mind, tell me, how can I change the player's name, or is this feature not yet available in the game? I don 't want to start the game again for this ; D
