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

[Jthebloody]

I finally had the time to play the current version (last one I experienced was 0.4a) and complete it.

I quite like the improvements; the quirk system is much easier to understand and the relationships screen perfectly complements it, giving you easy access to all the informations you need about the girls and their dynamics.

The only weird thing I had in this run was this: I was in a relationship with Jean by the end of spring and I progressed the main story to summer; a couple of days after the events had run their course I found myself accused by Jean of going out with Rogue without her consent... but I did not do that. Not before the transition from spring to summer or after that. It was honestly out of nowhere.

Other than that, the whole playthrough was normal and quite enjoyable, and now I find myself asking the good people behind this project two questions:

1) Is version 0.6 going to be the (highly anticipated, at least for me) introduction of the new girls and the second chapter of the story?
2) If that is the case, is it safe to assume that 0.6 will take longer than going from 0.4 to 0.5?

Shouldn't there be some check if there was any player-focused action, and the "where to cum" shown only then? Alternatively change text - make girl ask if you don't want a release too?

Just wanna say I love the game so far, the art has really grown on me, and I appreciate the character writing as they feel much more nuanced than many games on the site. My only real issue is one that has been stated by others quite a few times now: even on a new save and with assurances from the girls that polyamory is fine, they will get heartbroken and upset about that fact. I had all 3 girls status as poly-amorous and they were all friendly, but I still ran into issues with them randomly being heartbroken for dating another girl.

What things are going to be added that are not available yet? Any place with a list that can be consulted?

Version 0.6 is not going to be introducing Chapter 2, but a revamp on the sex minigame and addition to more sex poses for the love interests.

The dev is still working out the kinks about their future roadmap, so there's no real exact date, but it's safe to say it's coming soon.

I'm not too sure. I'll throw it at the code monkeys and get back to you.

Yeah I'm gonna bring this up with the dev team.

Edit: Post your save.

Ron can't tell what flag is misfiring without looking directly.

it took me a while to figure out how, but jean for the longest time was harping on me about Laura being on my schnoze. now they're almost besties so it's coo

Had the same issue. Stopped dating Laura, kept putting the two together and increasing Jean's love and trust. Eventually she came around but now reading other post on this thread I'm afraid that it's going to go to shit again and I'm going to have to raise her trust all over again

Should I add something into my cheat injector to fix this?

Alternatively, if you can check if this is going to be a problem by running this command in the console (if you have my cheat injector installed, this was turned on for you):
Jean.History.check('cheated_on_flirting_in_public')

Replace "Jean" with "Rogue" or "Laura" depending on the situation.
If that returns anything but 0, you might have a problem.

If you have this and you want to not have this problem, the command is:
Jean.History.remove('cheated_on_flirting_in_public')

Just keep in mind that that command will also remove any legit cheating you might have done.

I will keep this in mind but as of right now I have not run into any issues except Jean was difficult to convince.

Since we're on the subject, I tried the cheat injector and the first time I tried it in the game folder it said something to the effect of it couldn't find renpy. I apologize, as a developer I should know better to copy down the exact error but I didn't expect it. For shits and giggles I moved it to the root directory of the game itself and it gave me an even longer error than I can't remember.

A few days later I tried to re-download it and it rang up as a virus from my Avast

At that point I just decided to suck it up and grind through the stats, so far so good fingers crossed

Let me know if there's any way I can be of assistance other than that, really like and appreciate what you've done so far

Windows, I assume? There's a few existence checks on both versions so I can't tell what it is without the exact error message. None of which is a check for renpy . If you want troubleshooting of the cheat injector, please post the error message and what OS (and version) you're on so we're not getting off topic here.

But, in general, here are the requirements/checks for each:

Windows:

1. powershell (some windows versions will turn it off/make inaccessible)
2. python.exe (not on the system. Renpy games come shipped with a copy of python. Imagine my surprise when some still ship with python2.7 -_-)
3. rpatool is decoded from base64. The .bat has rpatool.py in base64 in the script. powershell is used to decode that back to a .py file that python.exe can use to extract the archive. Although the script should generate this, if there's a read-only setting on the directory or something similar that prevents the script from writing out to that directory, it won't be able to write out the decoded file and the check on it will fail.
4. Same as 3 but cheat.py is what I wrote to modify the game.

Linux:

1. Checks to see if it's in the right directory
2. Checks for backup files (linux version backs up the files it modifies)
3. Checks to see if Perl exists
4. Checks if some example files exist.
   1. if not, checks if rpatool exists
      1. if not, download rpatool via wget

My last save file was 10mb thats not normal is it?

 

[FutaFred]

Can you send me a save? It sounds like you flirted with Jean without Rogue's permission

That might be, but would have been very early on. Still very weird that Rogue would only get mad about it after I asked her if it is ok to date other people, which would have been like 6 months later in-game. If you would get more immediate feedback, that she gets mad for flirting around, that would make sense, but not like this...

I currently don't have access to the PC I played on, but I will get back to you about the save, thank you for the offer and communication.

Hi guys, I'm still pretty new to the game and I'm trying to get Anna and Laura's relationship to become good friend for Laura's spring optional quest. Right now, it said that they are just friend. Is there a specific event or stat requirement I have to do first?
And sorry if there's already an answer somewhere, I couldn't find it.

Basically you have to make them spend time at the pool, on the relationships section it should say what level they're at.

In the relationship screen, it said that they are both just friend, not a good friend yet. As for spending time at the pool, how do I trigger that event? Do I just need to have them both follow me to the pool?

Yes, relationships can be one sided, so if both are only friends, then you'll need to individually have one following you and then call the other one in, and vice versa. Thats at least how my game worked

Keep in mind that Rogue and Laura can be Best Friends, while Jean can only be Good Friends with any of the other two. That is coded with a limit.
Jean hesitates at beginning to do anything else but her studies, but after finishing any optionals but her training (3/4) she possibly had enough Love/Trust or whatever condition to keep coming to the pool most of the time after msging her by phone at the pool together with the other two girls. It's tedious to msg them all three all the time. Not sure how long following someone works if this is better.
I spent the last phase of chapter 1-fall doing only pool swimming/sunbathing and doing one job per day to gain cash until the relationship screen showed Best for R & L and Good Friend for Jean among each other.
Afterwards, you are good to go dating all three girls after each other three times and make them all your girlfriends. Then it's time to end the chapter fall due the stats limit of 250 before wasting too much points. Maybe it's better to start dating rather in the next chapter winter due more stamina but oh well...the points are very quickly gathered anyway.

Much appriciated!
It's trivial and irrelevant, but highly immersion breaking.

MC sits there, smooching and massaging new girlfriend's erogenous zones, only to pull his cock from the pants and cum on the rug out of nowhere.
And then continues like nothing had happened.

I find the "fun" scenes here weak and awkward to do too compared to the Rouge-like game. Realistic graphic isn't everything...
I rather enjoy the little storyline and simple talk with the girls what the other game lacks a bit.
