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

[LostKing]

ShinyBoots1993 quick question to thicken the plot and variety
- as a workaround to address the impossibility of too overtly public sex, could we have some dream sequence? like null dreaming of fucking during lessons, or fucking a girl openly in front of another (this maybe could also be a plot introduction to threesomes, as those are planned)

- could we get some white stockings?

I really hate dream sequences in games so I hope not. White stockings has my support though, as we have Emma Frost on the way that seems like the best target for it...

Is it possible to have sex with Laura? There are no more quests in my journal and she has maxed trust and about 800 love.

yes it very much is possible-can't remember if you have to max all girls to advance to the next phase tho

Just like in real life, the best way to have sex is to sleep in your bed alone and hope a girl shows up.

For real, go to sleep alone, she WILL find you.

I just hit the end of the main content. I have a few minor questions.

Am I correct in my belief the limited shapeshifting has no purpose/effect currently? I certainly noticed none.

Does winning a leaderboard offer a reward? I won the cognitive board a couple of times and didn't notice anything.

How does the popularity poll work? I've been everything from 7 to 1 and I have no idea what it responds to.

What is the stat buff reward offered by the side quest 'Attend Class Weekly'? I see its icon on the screen but I never could tell what it did.

Why was Nightcrawler able to teleport me when my nullification power was on?

There's an achievement for maintaining a 4.0 GPA for a whole season. Mine is listed as N/A and has been since autumn. I don't think it can be accomplished. Am I correct?

AFAIK you need it so you can change your appearance in shower

Winnig leaderboard give you samll amount of points to spend in achievement shop

There's an achievement for maintaining a 4.0 GPA for a whole season

It says whole chapter. And first chapter is not finished yet (chapter is a full year, not a full season)

Null can turn his nullification powers on and off at will now so when Kurt teleports him he has them turned off

If you attend the classes weekly you get a bonus to the amount of Love and Trust you gain during dialogue , the attendance bonus is also applied to the side activities like dating , training and studying together where the amount of Love and Trust that you get is also increased

The GPA from my experience becomes available from summer , the version that i was playing was 0.6a , the 4.0 GPA is easy to get as well , just attend the classes regularly and study once in the evening and you will get it fairly quickly , to maintain it just attend the classes regularly which also nets you a good chunk of XP , the achievement will be unlocked at the end of chapter 1 if you are able to maintain that 4.0 GPA

Idk what future effects the popularity ranking will have , mine is at 2 currently , gaining popularity as of now is tied to the barbeque event held on Saturdays , just bring some food that each of girls like , ask them beforehand as to what they want and during the event keep the conversation friendly between everyone and the score increases or decreases accordingly

Winning the leader board in either cognitive or combat nets you points that you can use in the achievement shop to buy perks , skill points , clothes for null , music and phone wallpapers

As for the limited shapeshifting , it's effects haven't been shown as of yet

I don't see a purpose to changing my appearance when it is entirely nebulous other than a few descriptive words, but whatever floats the dev's boats. It'd just be nice if the value was better described. That can be said for a couple other powers too.

Thanks for the info about leaderboards. If it is available in the game I completely missed it.

Chapter vs. season. Right! That makes sense. It couldn't be done in the first chapter then anyway since you start with a GPA less than 4. Bad choice of nomenclature. Chapter is the effective smallest unit of plot. Probably should have gone with Act instead but it is what it is.

What a weird thing for class attendance to affect! Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

I had a GPA in the summer and handily raised it to 4. It became N/A after Juggernaut and remained N/A throughout the remainder of the school year.

They're pretty varied all things considered. Jean is tall and slender and lanky. Rogue is fairly curvy, and Laura is short but hugh-jackman levels of ripped .
While I would go bonkers over some more plush bodytypes or the like, that's really more of a failing of the source materials, rather than this game.

Hard disagree. Jean being "tall" is just a scaled up version of the same body with some slight tweaks to make it look right. Laura being ripped is a matter of coloring. Not shape. It would be like putting storm in as bangable and saying she is different because her skin color is different.

All 3 girls have the same ass, the same thighs, and the same big tits. Their sex poses are head swaps more than anything else. It's a disservice when the art is otherwise so much better.

I mean I can mention it to the writers.

This

That

Also this

I was recently informed that all of this will have story checks throughout the game to spice things up and give incentive to keep high leaderboards beyond trust/love bonus returns.

I don't see a purpose to changing my appearance when it is entirely nebulous other than a few descriptive words, but whatever floats the dev's boats.

I'm not entirely sure what the devs plan on doing with it. I was vetoed when I suggested locking character customization.

So i remember reading that the GPA score being high will give us a more positive affinity / responses from Jean and having a High Danger room level will give us the same effect but with Laura , could you please confirm this

Also bug report , going from version 0.6a to 0.6b has wiped out my gift inventory which mostly had miscellaneous stuff like candels , chocolates , teddy bear etc . none of the bigger gifts that are used for decorating the rooms , the key items in the inventory has stayed the same

Going from 0.5b to 0.6a didn't have this bug

Also could the team work on improving the UI during the sex scenes cause the new sex system update made it so that it overlaps and looks odd imo

There was a fair amount of changes under the hood to the game it seems, variables have been added and some removed. Like adding in character Birth month/day. Eye color. as well as tweaks to how the Sex system works. Some perks have changed what they do like the one that used to flash the best choices for interactions instead they now give a % increase to unlock interactions.

From previous conversations the UI bug appears to be because it's a variable that is no longer used being present in old saves causing the overlap.

What your seeing is bugs from saves having variables that have either changed or removed. You will probably run into this until all the systems are mostly finalized, and will need to restart to have the best experience. You can probably continue using an old save but expect to run into these kind of bugs more then doing a fresh save.

EDIT: Apparently the Gifts are bugged in 0.6b, will be fixed in 0.7a. Just don't save over your 0.6a save or it will be bugged permanently. you will probably have to reload from your 0.6a save

That's unfortunate.
Predetermined name for the MC - was that also in the cards?

I haven't taken any of the perks introduced with the newer updates after 0.5b which is the version that i started playing first

So the UI overlap isn't happening on your end ? i would rather not have to start over unless the devs themselves tell the players to do so , put in a decent chunk of time already

Ronchon gave me answer here for this. If you don't know how to turn on the console, open this file in a text editor (notepad, vim, whatever):
TheNullHypothesis-0.6b-pc/renpy/common/00c1onsole.rpy
and find the line:
config.console = False
and change that to:
config.console = True

I normally just throw this into Ren'py game to turn on the console.

init +1:
    python hide:
        config.developer = True
