Hey, you should be proud of me.
I did not even suggest anything gruesome!

While not as coherent as yours, your post did give me some thoughts. I'll reply under spoilers for the sake of space. If I don't comment on one of your points, I either agree with it or have no response.

No, no, I did not even suggest anything gruesome!
Like... I meant, I almost did suggest impaling Rogue through her rectum and letting her bleed all over the floor while brutally fucking Jean, just to have Jean lick all the blood up, then proceed to kiss Rogue.
But I didn't!

I think it's best we all move along....
Still in the beta phase of development.
Yes but he adds another layer. Magneto is secretly OP since he can manipulate electrons. Technically he can turn ANYTHING into a magnet. You, me, that weird kid down the street. He just doesn't because Marvel realizes he's currently one of the most broken characters.
A buggy beta was leaked because people on this website don't care about stability.
Remember the like 10 games that straight up had malware in them due to someone exploiting the update process?
No need to apologize. It was a good read, sadly there is very little I can comment on without suffering the wrath of the writers.
He's Null and Kurt's babysitter. Like how he was for Deadpool in the movie. Though this dynamic is much more bro-like.
The issue is that the Brood are really messy. We held a poll on the discord an an overwhelming majority of players voted to not adapt The Brood Saga in full.
We'll likely just establish the requirements needed for adaptations in a potential sequel.
The Multiverse is already a thing. TNH is Earth-69* and we've made absolutely no changes the rest of the Marvel Multiverse or the DC/Marvel/Image Metaverse.
So sadly everything you hate about comics still happened... just not on Earth-69.
Though us toying around with the multiverse indeed may be a thing. I'll also remind that timelines and universes are two different things.
*Marvel wiki didn't list that as being taken so I stole it like the loot goblin that I am.
The rest of the dev team will have to kill me to stop him from being based on Sir McKellen.
Okay this is one that I can actually confirm as being just fact. There will be storylines but they'll be "contained" and set after the "end" of the main story.
Not all tops are doms and not all doms are tops.
He's 6'0, has a generally trim build, and has a 12inch dick. Otherwise he's completely unique.
This has been discussed. Let us cook though.
... Okay now I see the appeal of mpreg to a certain extent.
She blames herself as not being appealing enough to keep your loyalty if you cheat on her. Girl is submissive and breedable and filled with insecurities.
I did write an entire post of her thought process on the matter. Fuck if I can find it but I know someone here is autistic enough to hunt it down if they want to subject you to the psychic damage they had to be subjected to.
You'll notice that the roadmap shows Chapter 2 FALL. This is because chapters will be much more expansive in the narrative. Chapter 1 exists solely to introduce you into the setting and outside of what you see, nothing eventful happens to Null in between the time skips other than hanging out with some of the characters.
Phoenix Saga is also just that... a saga. There's multiple parts and side stories to fill out the chapter.
We're being very careful when it comes to death.
None that you can see at least.
She did hang out with the X-Men for a noticeable amount of time. Though the Carol Danvers of Ms. Marvel and the Carol Danvers of Captain Marvel are... simply not the same character. It's like how some more recent X-23 writers just make her Wolverine with tits. The version of Captain Marvel everyone is used to this day and age won't exist on Earth-69.
We have plans.
Illyana will not be making a presence in Null's life prior to the stint in Limbo. Even if she's locked behind several barriers both physical and metaphysical from any NSFW content, it still invites legal risks and loli-baiters. We already have enough of the second one with people wanting Kitty to look like she did during her actual introduction.
Kitty and Colossus will likely mention her and she might steal their phones to post a hum hum but for our own sanity we're just having Null not be too interested in the fact that there's a 6 year old running around the campus.
Not the Dev team. Just Dazz, one of our mods.
Our lead writer is for Mystique but the hold up is that me and another writer keeping pointing out that her committing several acts of terrorism are the catalysts for several storylines we want to adapt or allude to.
Then Marvel decided to say that Mystique only tried to kill people, including her kids, because Xavier botched a memory wipe. Since then that discussion has been kinda quiet because... like yeah.
We all do. Expect it. I outlined the entire Kitty/Wolverine mini-series and their most notable team ups outside of them and I refuse to shut up about how Null being involved makes it better.
We have plans... There will be stories setting up sequels and stuff.
While I don't know enough about X-Men comic plot to really comment on events or future character appearances but there has been an expression of strong dislike for Havok for being Havok, so it is fully possible Polaris and Havok never got together here or broke up due to Havok being Havok.
Also, my own bit of theorising based on stuff mentioned here in this thread and a wiki dive: I am increasingly convinced Null is actually a mind-wiped David Haller, based on Null's power being more or less an exact copy of Legion's power generation, hence why Null keeps getting new powers and the Shadow King's interest. Could the Null power be a defence mechanism against the Shadow King, just not burdened by Legion's shattered psyche? I have no idea, but everyone else who had the same theory seems to think it matches. Mirage and Wolfsbane both had a major role in Legion stories, according to the wiki, with Magma and Magik showing up later, so that could be a major arc when those characters are introduced, along with the drama of Null being Charles' son that he never knew about.
Note: I am very unfamiliar with the comics in general, but the storylines mentioned here actually makes me want to sit down and read this era of comics if only to try and figure out the twists that will be coming next which says a lot of about the quality of the writers for what is ostensibly a porn game.

Yeah pretty normal outside the unique things
I mean 12" is about average right?
Now this I'm really digging.
People think we don't have time for time plots?
C'mon there is always time for time plots. Just use some time plot device.
Yeah. This has been bounced around a few times.
Still though nice...Null Hypothesis

Came across this game a day or so ago when I had a craving for superhero fan games. I had passed on it at first given it has been a very long time since I had played a wholesome dating sim. Because of the very slim pickings within my zone of preferences, I decided to play it on a whim.
Safe to say, I’ve been quite enjoying it. Both the art and the writing are very good. To the point that I’m more often just socializing with the girls rather than fooling around as the game puts it. Which says a lot coming from me. Typically I play parody games to enjoy watching my favorite characters get smashed (Hence why I hadn’t played a ‘wholesome’ dating sim in a long time.)
It’s definitely a game that was made by passionate fans who love these characters. Each LI feel like their own character and I like how it’s important to put emphasis on the fact that this is a polyamory relationship. The girls have to like each other and it’s fun watching them get close like Anna and Laura.
Lately, the game has unironically been a low-key detox. Getting me more invested in the writing and reminding me that foreplay is always the best part.

You know just because you can write it, doesn't mean you should...

It's best not to think about the real world implications of most powers. Another side effect of Magneto would be his powers would generate synchrotron radiation which wouldn't be healthy for himself or anyone around him. He also would never be able to hide because he would turn himself into a radio beacon whenever he used them. Then there is the whole problem with speedsters . . . .
Which is why Rogue is the best girl and must be loved and protected at all costs.
I look forward to watching you cook, then.
I hope so. As I said, I think it would be an interesting dynamic, but I lack the imagine to see it given the changes made to the setting. I look forward to you enlightening me.None that you can see at least.
It's happened to quite a few characters. Both Havok and Cyclops are portrayed very differently depending on the writer.
I'm sure you do. One thing that did occur to me after what I wrote above is that, while Kitty won't remember anything, Null will remember anything she tells him about their futures. Did they have a child together? Would Null want to make sure that child is born despite the changes to the timeline or decide he'd rather create his own fate? There is interesting storytelling potential there, but I wouldn't be upset if the writers chose to focus on other storylines instead.
I'm of two minds on this: First, it is entirely understandable you'd take that position. Second, it is depressing that such precautions are probably necessary.
I suppose you could age Illyana up the same way you did Kitty (which was my base assumption anyway). You could have it so she doesn't age physically in Limbo even though time passes. That way, she could be an adult the entire time and still have her be altered by her experiences there. That being said, I should probably just leave this with: do whatever you think is best in this situation.
Ugh. What happened to villains being villains. I like morally complex characters. I like sympathetic villains. I'm a sucker for a good redemption story. But I also like evil villains. I like magnificent bastards, too. Not every villain has to be sympathetic or redeemable. Them retconning Mystique like that . . . just ugh.
That being said, I don't really care about her. I loved Mystique and Magneto, and they were involved in some great storylines, but I felt they—along with Wolverine to a certain extent—were overused although that feeling has mellowed a bit over time. I definitely want to see them as villains, but not too much. I do understand that to be a very unhelpful comment because the line between just right and too much is entirely subjective.
In the end, I obviously misunderstood what you'd written regarding her. While I would prefer her not to end up a love interest, I'm closer to indifferent to the idea than hating it. That retcon, though . . .
Null: Logan—Mr. Wolverine—sir. Is it alright—may I date your adoptive daughter?
Logan: Again! You're out of control. I'd be tempted to castrate you if I wouldn't have to worry about Laura hunting me for the rest of my life.
My suspicion is that chapter 5 will conclude the Onslaught Saga, and Null will end up taking Charles's place as head of the organization. Chapter 6 will then revolve around him in that capacity. Can't wait to see how wrong I am.
As mentioned when discussing Ms. Marvel above, different writers write characters differently. Some writers seem to really hate particular characters. Both Havok and Cyclops have been subjected to this. While I do not read the current comics and haven't for a while, I've been told that Colossus is currently the favorite punching bag of some writers. Havok's character really took a turn when, I think, Chuck Austen started writing him. I would call it character assassination; however, when you have a character that's been around so long and had so many writers, it's hard to say what is their true character, what is character development, what is character assassination, and what is just bad writing. That doesn't stop us from having opinions though. Let's just say that a universe where Havok and Polaris remain a couple is one in which Havok does not develop some of his less savory personality traits.

My first kneejerk feeling after playing the pic related part of 0.8a was that Null might have already met Kitty and left one hell of a first impression.
And now we just waiting for the actual introduction part and Logan shitposting about another not-a-daughter gushing about the same guy.
But that is probably just my VN-sickend mindset working at headcanon creation here since that likely doesn't fit any book storyline, and the hair in that scene does not even fit what signature art I seen floating around here.
That brain-fart aside, seeing their age, disposition and power ranks, I really wonder if Storm and some of the other planned chars joining in as LIs will (or should be) be handled with somewhat different 'mechanics' in ch2.
I mean in Storm's case, Jean already spoke of her as a friend. And while Laura is stating that she isn't calling her that, she also claimed Storm was already closer to her than anyone before Null and Rogue. Not sure invitation to some pool-parties is going to improve matters there.
And regarding her feels, seems she is more likely to go and pull a long string of "Single Again" Frank protag self-doubts than needing to be taken on few dates. Maybe something like a 'corruption' or letting go of responsibility thing?

The scene you showed would have been a great way to introduce Jubilee, as her introduction in the 90's show was a mall attack.
