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

[Crichton1]

sorry to ask this with out reading or looking it up in the thread but im just too tired and i have a few questions. i hope some of you can help me with them.

1 can someone tell me if this is the latest stable version after they will start working on the version 8? or they usually come up with a couple hot fixs, i know this isnt RLE but im used to that. i read that version 6 was not a finished version so i didnt want to play it.

2 is there significant new content to justify a new playthrough or should i wait for version 8?

3 And one last question, i know this may seem rude but its not my intention, i really like this game as a dating sim, and when i played the version 5 that was great but the pace was quite slow because the gifts werent working right and the sex scenes were... quite bland and not that interesting, youll have to ask for her consent every time you wanted to do something, not a bad idea but it made the experience repetitive and if i remember correctly the devs wanted change that. so my question is has that aspect of the game been improved?

thanks

yeah it's stable. shouldnt have save file issues even using old save files, unless they're from version .2

You don't have to start a new playthrough, the newest content is the end of summer event.

Do a new playthrough if you wanna though. I dunno when you last played and wont think about it enough to help you decide.

3. The consent thing was improved this version. You will only ask a girl 2 times. any time after that, no matter how many sessions afterwards, will you have to ask.

potential field trip with Null as a teacher only for them to be attacked by either mutants or regular people and students get to see why Null is able to handle a beating by giving a beating to whoever tries to fight them

With all the crazy, unbelievable stuff that happens to him with him just being around, I kind of imagine his lessons will sound something like

And then the other staff will be like, "Huh? Oh yeah. He got sucked into a wormhole. We had a hell of a time getting him out."

Null will be a teacher in Chapter 5 after he graduates.

That should have been a spoiler. Not the teacher part, the part where he survives long enough to graduate.

I still have my doubts.

His graduation gift is a tombstone

Will Null get tenure?

[C00merboy]

The situation with Storm made me realize that Null might eventually teach at the school (if he survives long enough) so I hope his Ben Tennyson-level of baddie pulling will be under control by then.

If you know you know Null is probably gonna follow the same path if he sees any alien booba

The tombstone in question:

 

[Casted420]

You're not a real X-Man until you've been killed

Ok, so is Null getting isekaied at some point?

 

[TheCrimsonRevenger]

Am i missing something for X-23's sex option? It remains greyed out. Both the other girls allowed full sex after the love confession. X-23 had the love confession but her sex option remains grey. She'll take Anal but not vaginal

I'm already into the next chapter(After the mob assault) and still it remains as grey as her favorite panties.

I honestly don't know of any member not dying at some point in the history of it existing. not to mention how many times Logan has died

imagine the stories they'd hear. "Yea, Null was at the mall one day when giant mutant hunting robots showed up and started killing. next thing we know, Null gets brought back to the infirmary in a coma and Laura gets naked next to him."

I can just imagine Dr. Reyes going to Logan to talk Laura into letting them actually tend to Null without her getting her claws out and growling at the staff when the sponges come out.

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

You will only ask a girl 2 times.

The phrasing is "Can I?" the first time and "Hey wanna do that again?" the second time.

Just adding context.

potential field trip with Null as a teacher only for them to be attacked by either mutants or regular people and students get to see why Null is able to handle a beating by giving a beating to whoever tries to fight them

Probably.

Will Null get tenure?

Tenure doesn't protect you from anything you do this game.

Unlike the others, she initiates. Go to sleep alone.

 

[SeveralGeese]

The phrasing is "Can I?" the first time and "Hey wanna do that again?" the second time.

Probably niche, but I'd also suggest having it reset back to "can I" in the event they say no for whatever reason. Assuming that's not already in place.

I feel like a year of training with Laura would equal things out physically, no matter what background you chose.
Maybe it can give you an advantage in baseball.

Keep in mind that having an athletic focus isn't just about having a physical head start, but also being a person who is interested in and mentally engaged by training, athletics and working out. Even if one person has just as many training sessions as another, the one who actually *likes* training is going to get so much more out of each one. The same way someone interested in art is gonna learn faster than someone who isn't.
Or how someone who likes to read and learn will get so much more out of an hour of studying compared to laura the person who's fighting to keep their eyes from glazing over 5 minutes into opening the book.

Sure but just because you have this or that scholarship it doesn't mean you have no interest in other stuff.
I hate it when games only allow or encourage min-maxing and hyperfocusing instead of being more well-rounded.
I get wanting your choices to matter but it feels like such an artifical limit.

I don't want the choice in scholarship to be the choice of which 1-dimensional savant you become. Let's strive for 3-dimensional characters.

Well good news, that's what we have in this game!

The game does make certain assumptions, like assuming Null isn't an aimless deadbeat who will go in for a degree they don't care about and then drop out two years later [I'm totally not projecting].

But even if the scholarship establishes a specialization and interest of your Null, there's nothing stopping you from focusing hard in other fields to be well rounded. But people like Jean and Laura, who *are* hyper-specialized in their fields, are gonna be tough to compete with if you're trying to be a jack-of-all. As Laura says "Time spent talking is time not spent licking."

But if you're complaining why you cant be the absolute BEST at everything all at once, forever... Well, you're shit outta luck, only mary and gary sues get to have no flaws. And that's not an artificial limitation, that's basic ass opportunity costs.

And I hope they continue with that instead of

Which is the direction im arguing against.

Currently, but I have seen several comments here and on the discord, that want the scholarships to come up in ways that pidgeonhole Nulls personality.

I don't know who you're arguing with here, but it's not me.
Also you probably can do that if you get all the stamina perks.
