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

[Riptide]

Yet how long is that foundation going to take exactly? Sure, it makes sense to lay it all down and get it in place before hand. But I'm sure some want to see more of this story and girls than to have another update that just tweaks and adjustments again.

You could consider doing a piece of a chapter, with works and foundation in hand, and simply add on to or adjust with the following update. Granted, it would increase the possible build time, specially with possible fixes to be had. Yet at the same time, your moving the story along as well, giving people and fans more content which they expect and want.

It has been said multiple times in this thread that 1.0 will be "feature complete" and 1.1 will be "start of Chapter 2 story", with the expectation that after 1.0 story will progress faster as all the basics are in place. They have also said that they're reluctant to add more story until the basics are in place to avoid the hiatus/rework delays that so many large games have had as they have to go back and untangle old code.

Once the basics are in place (i.e. post 1.0) it's only really art that's the bottleneck then - and we've seen various preview art already in place for that, so initially seems it would be at a pace that might please you.

0.7a was a pretty good story update, and 0.7b is going back to update cinematics in the rest of the chapter.

So in short we are looking at Chapter 2 being added in two years or so. Cool. Cool cool cool.

Could give a fuck less on the previews since they mean jack all.

i think we should let the developers do their thing, they want to get all systems in place throughout the ver. 0.X ~ 1.0 so they don't have to deal remaking stuff later on. i played this game when it was 0.4 and liked it a lot, read their intentions and that made me wait patiently for 1.0 to dive back in (i know there was more stuff added in later versions but there are other stuff to play too). sure i would want more of the story right now, but i understand and respect the mindset of the team developing this.
tl;dr let'em cook!

SerHawkes: Since you and the community manager ain't cool with each other, I'll be the mediator and let you know when the new girls get added, okay?

We both follow RLE. Trust me bro.

Any long term consequence?
Just the thought of hurting such a precious gal unnerves me.


No offense, but ive only checked the mutiefans.

I think Shiny said it a while back. EVERYTHING has consequences. But nothing that would permanently lose your chances with Rogue.

But to be less enigmatic about it, large/massive loss to love and trust (like, literally. That's what it's called in the code) and she'll remember this later on. But also, the game's not complete. That's all I know from where this game is now. More can be added later.

Yet how long is that foundation going to take exactly?

So, a month back, I finished a completely offline, browser-based CRM that I was building. It was my pet project. I'm the only coder on it. And when I say "finished" it's version 1.0. I expect more to come later. It took me close to 2 years.

Add to that writing, collaboration, waiting on art assets, yeah, it'll take a bit.

To quote the last CTO I worked with, "People expect that if a takes 9 months for a baby to be born, that with 9 women, it'll take 1 month for one baby to be born. That's not how that works."

That's one of my favorite phrases!

This game is really boring because there are just 3 girls in the game and the only 1 that I am interested in is Jean Grey. I wish we didnt have to wait until Chapter 2 to date Storm or whomever else is being planned for Chapter 2. I dont know whose idea it was to wait until Chapter 2 to date Storm but it was obviously not a good choice.

I'll need a good chair and some popcorn for when the usuals wake up 'cause this is gonna be good.

A Yakuza reference in TNH... the devs have more culture than I imagined. Truly the most moment of all time.

Still waiting for my Persona 4/Chie reference, to be honest.

 

[Darknes666]

I thiiiink it's just for helping the girls pregame. though I'd love if it gave them the chance to have awkward public interactions or something.

public i think not yet but i had jean comment on it when Anna had it on

All in due time, my friend... have faith in our devs.

Another minor bug:

The half-price sale displays the reduced prices, but takes the full amount of cash upon sale. E.g. the acoustic guitar shows $500 reduced to $250, but if purchased, costs $500.

Guess a lot of people are talking about when chapter 2 would release so might as well use some theorizing and deduction skills to give yall an idea when it would come out? Don't take my word for it just my guess work.

Based on their previous roadmap, 0.7 was initially coming out on November but came early December and 0.8 is allegedly supposed to be out somewhere around January (Assuming it still does). Given how they essentially release an update every month, 0.9 could be out in February or March and 1.0 around March to April give or take any developmental hiccups that make occur. These devs are still just human so they still have normal lives to live ya know. So if I were to guess, Best Case scenario, 1.1 or the start of chapter 2 would release around Late April or Early May. Worst Case would be Late May or Early August but Most realistic guess of 1.1 would be sometime around May since since it might be the most polished version by then. However, this is assuming it's still an update per month release cycle

On another note, I just found out that Taylor Swift's middle name is Alison... and if you guys remember, it was rumored before that she was supposed to play Dazzler in deadpool 3 and we all know Dazzler is also named Alison lmao.

"Consent Simulator" is no more, so now it's "Shaggy Manes: The Series"?

 

[Ullaa]

oh someone's shaggy all right

I wonder if the mc will get power to dopple his body to get the group sex achievement.

 

[Jinyo]

Any reason the quirks are blank? I am pretty far in to the game and they have always been this way even after encouraging.
