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

[ShinyBoots1993]

I've been replaying the game. One thing that stands out a bit is that a lot of the dialogue getting closer to the girls in events consists of trite "don't overdo it" and "I'm here for you" stuff if you solely pick the "good" choices.

Which, y'know, these phrases are a real thing.. But it kind of feels like reading Wayne Family Adventures (character gets mad, character 2 follows them and asks what wrong, pep talk with im here for you, drama solved) when it's always the only good option in any stressful situation and it's done again and again for different characters.

I mean if you constantly choose the boyscout option don't be surprised that you get the boyscout result.

I can tell you that you most certainly have not solved their problems by giving verbal affirmation.

If anyone thinks that Rogue, Jean, and Laura's issues are solved by end of the Chapter 1 then you've underestimated our ability to cause you pain.

Edit: Also wtf, there's gonna be a sequel? And the mc is the same? I really wanna know how yall are gonna fit the previous game's possible giant harem into the second game's lore haha.

Just because we decided on an end point doesn't mean we don't have more ideas.

We started with the period after Giant Sized X-Men because that's when the X-Men started getting an identity comparable to what they have to modern expectations (I mean every X-Men story revolves around or builds up to the Phoenix for a reason) and we chose to end at Onslaught because... Well Marvel went to shit after that event with the Heroes Reborn "reset" failing miserably so it's a decent place to take a break.

and we have intention on neglecting girls.

You have no intention on neglecting girls, you mean?

I found that I had to disable their default outfits, otherwise they’d never wear the custom ones I made

I can't even get an outfit to save, the save button doesn't do anything. Nor can I name an outfit. the interface let's me temporarily change their clothes and that's all. What am I missing?

Jokes aside I get my psychology degree in 4 weeks.

Congrats!
Nothing feels better than finally escaping of the rat-race of university.

If only IRL higher education involved getting cool superpowers and meeting hot mutant babes with psychological issues wot you can fix and/or questionably encourage...

Never herd of poli sci I see

Those pesky X-Men just can't seem to stay away from time travel. It'd be on brand for franchise.

TNH: infirmary timeskips
TNH2: "lost in time"-skips

TNH: infirmary timeskips
TNH2: "lost in time"-skips

TNH 2 - Null still gets his ass kicked but every time he ends up in a different timeline, not in infirmary.

Strip Poker! STRIP POKER!

also, normal Poker, love a game of texas hold em.
(Seriously, this has TOO much potential to let go, friendly games, strip games, characters having lore/personal/4thwall comments as they play, increases to love/trust, improve (or worsen) friendship between chars, can also have an impact on popularity ranking...)

Im all for strip poker but...does it really have to be texas hold´ em again?
I know it blew up on TV and suddenly everyone wanted to play that abomination but ffs whatever happened to the classic Five Card Draw?

 

[NexivSelecaf]

The dev team creates a new origin for Null called Turbo Nerd. Strip poker is now strip Yu-Gi-Oh!, but he'll only play Goat and Edison formats.

That's it! I've come up with a new recipe! Goth Magician Girl!

Now that's some heavy lore drop right there.

Yes, thank you for the correction.

whatever happened to the classic Five Card Draw?

Only game I enjoy. Sometimes 7 card draw.

 

[KingAgamemnon]

Hmm, so Null's powers don't work on non-mutants, but do they work on mutates?

 

[Casted420]

I think only those with x-gene.

 

[destroyerofassholes]

Shiny, will we see other characters acknowledge the fact that we are dating half the school (eventually) lmao

 

[BigAlzBub]

Hmm, so Null's powers don't work on non-mutants, but do they work on mutates?

This is just my best guess and I'm making a few completely unsubstantiated assumptions.
I would imagine Null's power works by suppressing the X-gene, so if you are a mutate and your event activated an X-gene then it would get suppressed exactly like a mutant would, but if your event gave you powers in some other fashion it might or might not depending on how similar it is to the X-gene.

Everyone: Debating on whether it's Emma frost or kitty pride.

Meanwhile Me: Waiting for my girl Magik to appear one day

View attachment 4132665

Anyway, it's probably Kitty considering you're now a second year in the school and Kitty would probably be a first year student or something.

Patiently waiting for Magik to get added to more games, she was great in Midnight Suns!

 

[Casted420]

I'm sure it will be seen as "a good morale booster and a boon to comradery among the girls" + "the rest of the school can focus on studies and not waste their time chasing skirts"

Yeah but hes hogging ALL the skirts though!
Jean will have to work double time with her gay beam to make this work...

 

[Whyaduck]

Correction on my part. She has one younger sister but she also has an older sister and two older brothers. Older sister gets killed by mutant haters and everyone else in her family is murdered by a spoiler.

When did her older sister die? I think I still have the issue of Bizarre Adventures (dear god, showing my age) with Jean's sister recalling the time Attuma kidnapped her and Jean in an attempt to breed Atlantean-Mutant hybrids.
