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

[RandomRandomic]

Hate to disappoint you but so far he has been gaining powers off the girls he is hanging out with. So far he has picked up Rogue's energy drain and X-23's regeneration (and probably a little of her enhanced physicality), if things continue the way they are I would imagine he will gain some sort of mental power from Jean (Mental blasts maybe? Or telekinesis). Once he meets up with Storm, Dazzler and Kitty, I would imagine he will gain some sort of lightning attack and/or blinding attack and phasing.

Yeah, I made peace with that already, but then the name Null wouldn't make much sense after all the powers ya know?
That's my only nitpick, but hey, maybe the devs will let us choose our codename in the game, and Null will be like, the unofficial canon codename for the character.

Seeing as how tattoos are coming off of the 'list of no' (except for the weird raceplay ones; those can stay on the list [even the one that I approve of]): If Null gets phasing, then public nudity/exhibitionism has to come off of the 'list of no'.

Have stripping them naked in public trigger an anger event if they're not into it. The girls slap Null, call him an asshole, and don't talk to him for a week. But perfect stats allows it for a few lines of dialogue to the effect of "Oh, Null. You silly rascal!" before dressing up again, granted that the team isn't ready to change their minds on full exhibitionism/public sex.

Might as well consider the extra step since non-animated fooling around at restaurants and movie theaters is a thing.

Edit: inb4 Boots "corrects" me by pointing out that tattoos were a budget limitation, not a characterization restriction.

 

[BigAlzBub]

I wouldn't get too dispondant, after all the MCs nullification power is always going to be his signature power, and the more side powers he gains, the less proficient he can be with all of them, because there just aren't enough hours in the day to be good with everything.
You may get your fondest wish in that Storm might end up giving Null her power of flight, as once you have a few decent offensive powers, you are likely to fall back on those rather than gaining some other form attack. Null only seems to gain new powers when he comes up short, if he has his offence bases largely covered, I could see him picking up other powers rather than the damaging ones.

[even the one that I approve of]

eh I'd still rather exhibitionism not be in the game if only secretly fucking in the locker room shower instead of fucking in public

Let us cook.

Already done.

I won't correct you on this but...

Our head writer would NEVER give this a pass.

...He can still nullify other mutants' powers. Why would it stop making sense?

Besides, I think they've worked out a secret meaning to "The Null Hypothesis" and are waiting for people to figure it out (I haven't figured it out).

just curious but is there anything else u can tell us about like how far along is the writing for chapter 2 are the writers still figuring out how to start it?

If I remember correctly there are something like 6 secret different meanings to the name of the game. It was clarified that none of them have to do with RLE.

He can still nullify powers regardless of anything else he is capable of.

The fact that he has other abilities and the capability of putting up a fight even without his mutant abilities makes him more intriguing to me as a character than someone whose identity(so to speak) revolves around his ability to nullify powers.

I get you, but it's just something that keeps nagging me, I mean, it can be kinda funny like, a villain is fighting him and is like "Hah! He can only nullify powers at close range, so I will keep my distance!"
And then the MC just pulls out a lightning bolt or a laser beam and demolishes the guy in 3 seconds.
And then the guy is like "He said his name was Null! Why the fuck did I get hit with a fucking laser beam??!!!"
Maybe that can be like, a gag in the game.
Kurt: "Bruder, consider changing your name for the sake of the comics, the readers are starting to call you false advertisement"
Anyway, I am just being little shit, I will be happy either way, this game is awesome!

They have a general idea and are working on it.

Though a lot of their time is dedicated to the features that will be coming with 0.9 and 1.0.

We are very mod friendly.

The person who gets all 6 gets a special discord role.

"Hah! He can only nullify powers at close range, so I will keep my distance!"

I know you said you were just being a shit but I will clarify that if someone intends to harm Null specifically, he has no limit.

Like if he's off in Taiwan and Xavier attempts to use cerebro to track him down. If Null doesn't want to be found, then Xavier won't have the power to use it.

This isn't a perfect solution. As shown in the game, even if you stop a telekinetic from chucking something at you, if it's already heading towards you then... Well... Physics are the deciding factor in that face off.

While I'm here, I'll give some more special insights.

Colossus wouldn't be able to use his armor or enhanced strength. Though he still is naturally muscular. This is why Null is tutored by Laura.

Null also can't cancel out things that exist regardless of the X-Gene. Like Wolverine and Laura's claws are part of their anatomy. The handicap being is that if they pop their claws... they'll bleed to death.

I've been so close so many times mentally about making a femNull mod but animations require live2d things. I could just retexture and have strap-ons, but the oral animations for girl on girl would be lacking.

Oh well. Being a Bruder instead of a Schwester is fine.

- Record Player ($200): on the flat table in front of her bed together with books and cups

Is there some sort of prerequisite to getting this? I've been able to purchase everything else from the deco guide and the girls have given everything to decorate the MC's room. This is the one thing that is missing from Laura's room.

Unlike that, there wouldn't really be gameplay differences. Just changing the dialogue, face/hair, clothing, add tits, change hip ratio, change arms slightly, and swap equipment loadout downstairs.

Edit:Though 3rd person Null being added next update would also add more challenges.
Mutant Johnny Sins reigns supreme.

Either finish the Laura_enjoying_being_girlfriend event to purchase it...
... or better gift Jean the wholesome_romance_novel (req. being boyfriend) and wait 3 days then Jean gifts a record_player as well.

I have only read about the Jean event so far. If you have already purchased it before, maybe you can gift the additional one to a new girl in chapter 2 later.

I don't know how Cerebro works exactly, but can't Xavier use it to examine other people's minds and see where Null is by looking into others?
Like you can't see him, but others do, so you ask them instead.
And on this subject, what happens if a mutant has some sort of AoE attack that blows up a planet where Null in chilling and he doesn't wanna be blown up? Is the boom beam cancelled or does he end up floating in space?

 

[Terry Zimmerman]

Is there a null logo tattoo? If there is, with the pubic hair and all that, this isn’t poly or a harem, its a freaking cult!
Edit: I love it when you give the girls something that shows they’re your girlfriends. There’s a game where you give them a collar, and I love that.

For the Cerebro, yeah that might work. Null is talking to a guy and the professor reads the guy's mind to see he is talking to Null.
Assuming the guy isn't standing too close to Null. Maybe it would activate to prevent info in range from going back if it involved Null. Not sure.

For the other thing, if an aoe is started in his Null range then it won't activate. But if it starts outside of it, I don't see why it wouldn't get him. If Jean wants to move a tennis ball into Null's range it drops. If she throws it from outside and momentum carries it into his range, it still keeps going.
Havok or Boom Boom launching a blast at him I imagine would work the same way as a thrown tennis ball.
