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

[ShinyBoots1993]

I see in the changelog that modding is made easier, but do we have any modders giving out mods of the game? Because i see no link to any mod in the OP so i guess its hidden in a discord or something?

There isn't a whole lot to mod right now, but the final year is supposed to be much more freeform to allow for modders to make their own story lines. Getting the code base right now is always the correct decision (from a programming point of view), in the same way that building your house on correctly dug foundations is also the best policy.

People who've stated intentions to mod have said they wanna wait till 1.0 to do anything major.

I can accept that Pietro gets involved with X-Factor, but the Scarlet Witch is a goddamn Avenger first and foremost and that's that.

As far back in the timeline we are she's actually left the Avengers and has rejoined Magneto.

She doesn't rejoin for quite a bit.

You are replying to a lot of people, so I think you mixed up posts.

If you reread my posts specifically, I was not talking about grinding affection stats.
I was referring to the new mechanic in v0.6B which requires you to grind horniness during each sexual encounter to unlock sex. (exact number of minutes varies depending on which foreplay method you use. as they are not all created equal)

Oh. As mentioned earlier it is going to be tweaked with. Dev conversations have mentioned tracking horniness in the sandbox so if you catch a girl at the right time or if she approaches you, you'll be able to skip most of the foreplay and get too it if she's wound up enough.

Also some girls will prefer some forms of foreplay over others.

Notably as a rule women with smaller chests tend to be more sensitive in that area.

Thanks for help!

If Renpy doesn't support Windows 7 anymore I don't know what to tell you brother. I can talk to Ron about it since he's a wizard but even his magic has a limit.

Rogue better love getting her ass gropped or we riot.

Is there any benefit to DISCOURAGING their quirks? Will Rogue be more assertive if I discourage her submission?

Will Jean and X-23 be more submissive if I discourage their dominance?

Will new quirks replace whichever ones I discourage?

no to all questions.

discouraging quirks is purely for the sake of saying "this isnt my (the player's) fetish, and I'd prefer not to indulge in it"

 

[NexivSelecaf]

Is there any benefit to DISCOURAGING their quirks?

Only if you want them to be "normal".

Will Jean and X-23 be more submissive if I discourage their dominance?

No.

Will new quirks replace whichever ones I discourage?

Currently, no. In the future, that's for the devs to choose if they want to answer that or not.

Will Rogue be more assertive if I discourage her submission?

Having Rogue not be submissive and breedable is foreign to me.

Shouldn't we be allowed to have sex in the character's bathrooms? They're not public areas, right?

Null is too much of a prude for toilet sex.

From my experiences, Rogue is a real big fan of her bottom getting attention.

Then again, from my experiences Jean gets bored of you playing with her boobs real fast, so I'm curious about Shinyboots' claim.

Bullshit, he bangs ladies in the toilet of the restaurant all the time!

Laura loves getting her nipples pinched.

are you part of the development team?
if so, you should get a developer badge

...On screen. Null is too much of a prude for toilet sex on screen. That's why 'fooling around' in the restaurant is only said though text and doesn't cut to the minigame. He doesn't mind lubing up the girls with popcorn butter hands, but having pee-pee is are his secret shame. And in future builds, Null pool of quirks consist of 'pee-pee hands' and 'butterfingers'.

There. I saved it.

Now i wonder, would it be too difficult to implement shower sex?
I think just changing the background and forcing the girl to have wet hair ought to do the trick.

 

[Evil13]

Okay, real answer - it's most likely the allocation of assets. There's only a couple of artists working on the game and the set up for shower sex assets are probably low on the list compared to new characters, locations and so on.

I'm not one of the devs, so I don't have any sort of say in this, but if there is going to be some bathroom sex assets, it's going to be either when they get a lot more money to bring in more artists or added in one of the later chapters when the greater priority items have been done.

 

[TheCrimsonRevenger]

I'm a bit confused. Had the relationship upgrade with Rogue to Girlfriend.

Told her we'd be Poly. She was cool with it. Even specifically mentioned X-23 because of the event where we sent her to ask Rogue about relationships.

I just went on a date with X-23 and the next morning Rogue is all upset with me for "not telling her". WTF did I miss here?

There cant be any ambiguity, you gotta specifically tell her "hey I want to date laura/jean, are you cool with that?"
It becomes an option after you get her to agree to a poly relationship (on the condition that you tell her who beforehand, and she's on friendly terms with them)

I have also made this mistake a couple times.

Yes.

It's more of an on or off switch in most cases.

Without spoilers, Dazzler's is probably the most complex as depending on which era of Dazzler is your favorite will determine what is "normal" for the character.

We used to get complaints about "less content" but then a dozen or so people came in and said something like "Their quirk ain't my kink." and "I don't notice less interactions just different ones."

As others have said we want the "normal" experience to be an option as to my knowledge we're the only X-Men, and likely Marvel, game that has the option of actually interacting with characters similar to the source material and not porn parody logic.

Though we did switch things up a bit in that the Sexual Revolution of the 60s/70s never ended.

While you got prudes and conservatives still existing on Earth-69, most people are likely to talk more about sex and non-monogynous relationships.

As our head writer had to come out and defend the last time I mentioned this. This doesn't mean the girls are gonna act slutty for no reason. They're just more open minded.

You're gonna encounter girls who are staunchly against open or poly relationships in future chapters but you'll be able to have a conversation with them about it and change their viewpoint in a realistic manner.

You have your cake and eat it too, it's just less porn parody logic.

On the to do list. One of the things on my wishlist for the budget is individualized bathrooms for the girls.

I imagine Rogue has a waterproof radio and maybe a poster.

Jean's would be filled with a dozen bottles of skincare routines.

Laura's would have claw marks all over since a shower is a quiet moment to get aggression out.

From my experiences, Rogue is a real big fan of her bottom getting attention.

Laura loves getting her nipples pinched.

Working as intended.

 

[TheCrimsonRevenger]

Also, I noticed in the bathroom mirror I can change all my cosmetics except skin color. Is there a way to change that too?

I was aiming for kind of a "Middling Tan/Ambiguously Brown" during character creation and apparently ended up with Demonic Red.

People frequently seem to get hyper and assume that they've just been given a hallpass.

That might be something that may be an option in the future but if you read what the girls say, which half of the "bugs" in the game are just people not actually listening to the girls or Kurt, you'll be able to see what's actually expected from you.

If the team wants to go the extra mile, sure. But I think that most people would settle for taking the backgrounds for the locker room and the dorm showers, gaussian blurring them to the same percentage as the bedrooms, and letting our brains/imaginations fill in the blanks.

The real Consent Simulator™ still lives!

I thought skin color was changeable in the mirror...

Middling Tan will be added later when we get back to upgrading character customization. We're putting it off until we start working on CGs that show Null more prominently, such as date sex.

Which is also the reason why girls go to dates with specific outfits. Budgetary limitations.
