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

[Tommy7358]

To my knowledge, Null will never be cut off of pursuing a girl. There would likely be different variance in dialogue depending when you pursue them.

I don't know much of what the plan is in regards to what if you max out love but I'd assume our team would have some pining going on.


There is confirmed to be unique interactions depending on combination.

Kitty really fucking hates Emma and in some timelines takes pleasure in killing her.

Emma and Jean are both omega level telepaths and that has had them bicker over who top bitch is in that regard as until Emma, Jean was the only other person than Xavier to be able to use Cerebro. So you can expect the other to try and one up each other in a possible relationship.

Especially as I stated in another comment, Jean already tries to prove she's top bitch if you date all three of the girls in chapter 1.


Yes. I don't know all of them and I don't want to spoil what I do know. I only use that example as it's really fucking funny when people doubt me.

Thanks for the answers. A couple of follow up questions, Love, Trust and Friendship are currently capped to 1000 right? I presume that there's isn't a plan in the works of introducing limits to these stats later on after v1.0 aside from Friendship which may be capped by early events like Laura's or have maximum caps of Good Friends like Jean currently does with Rogue and Laura? Meaning if I'm patient enough (or if I cheat) I can get all Love Interests' Love and Trust to 1000 by grinding more than a coffee grinder? Also, you mentioned different dialogue depending on when players persue the love interests but what about depending on their stats? Would a max stat Jean who was friendzoned for 4/5 whole chapters react differently compared to one whose stats are only increased during chapter 5/6?

You are, in fact, mistaken.

It was a massive overhaul for the game's code. Months of work, not a minor tweak. The entire sandbox portion of the interactions was reworked and a lot of it substantially re-written. Non-plot required interactions between Null and the girls will now rarely be the same twice as the new code draws from a massive pool of variables and applies somewhat organically. It not only adds a fresh dynamic to the game, but allows for seamless, extremely easy additional dialogue/interactions to be put in later, either by the devs or by modders.

Further, entire scenes and portions of dialogue in the game itself were added/re-written to accommodate different paths. A great deal of content was added to deepen the experience for those who chose to have a platonic relationship only with one of the LIs and assign full weight to the relationships with or without Quirks.

An entirely new aspect of the sex system was developed and implemented, so that the LIs become more experienced and learn different sexual techniques, etc over time and usage, becoming more proficient with them and entire new dialogue trees to accompany that.

A lot of optimization changes were implemented to smooth Live2D as well, allowing for smoother play, especially on Android.

New soundtracks for several scenes as well.

It's been a huge effort, especially by the coders, and will make future development and modding markedly easier. The next update (0.9) will be fairly art intensive.


That said, as someone in the thread mentioned earlier, the art requirements for the game alone are nearly 5K/month and most of the development costs are funded personally by Ron and a small handful of supporters. Ron doesn't spend much time fundraising or soliciting financial support, but he brought it to public attention recently that roughly 4500 of the Patreon followers don't contribute anything at all. If even a portion of them did, it'd make a huge impact.

If you want new chapters and new characters sooner, please do consider heading over to the game's Patreon and signing up. Even paying a buck a month will shave months off of the development timeline if enough people do it.

OK, now that I'm done pestering you with gameplay questions for now onto the issue of me wanting to donate. Both merleved's and your responses have convinced miserly me to finally open his wallet and contribute something to the project for once. Hell... I haven't even played the game yet and already I have extracted a couple dozen-ish hours of entertainment from finally finishing reading through the main thread. And there's still the off-topic thread left if I wanted to spend another dozen hours. Plus I really don't want to read one day either Buttholder, ronchonbon or you announcing The Null Hypothesis is stopping development due to insufficient funding. I want to see your sequel ideas of The Null Hypothesis 2, 3 or even a DC version of TNH become reality man.

Got to ask though, what's the direct donation method you mentioned in a previous post? Patreon doesn't accept my card and I can't top up my PayPal without a bunch of hassle either.

She's in her 30s on Earth 69 because Ron didn't want 3 chapters of characters being 18-21

Heres an unrelated question that popped into my mind - Null's able to disable any and all mutant powers except for physical changes such as Beasts appearances or Kurts, or Lauras claws, but what about Emma's diamond form? I know at this point in story she'd prolly not have it, but there could be some interesting interactions, as her diamond form also allows her to not feel emotions.
Could imagine her diamonding up in order to avoid some interactions or situations, which in this case would not work and would leave her rather vulnerable, emotionally and physically both.

Character Ages as of Chapter 1
Null: 18
Kurt: 18
Colossus: 19
Rogue: 19
X-23: 18
Jean: 21
Kitty: 17
Dazzler: 18
Storm: 33
Emma: [Redacted] (Visibly Late 20s)

So Null can ask Jean to buy him some alcohol......

I don't know the current gameplan. If there have been discussions on this, I haven't seen them.

now onto the issue of me wanting to donate.

Since you tagged Ron directly, I'll let him handle that question because I don't know how money works.

Due to the nature of Emma's power, I'd assume Null would be able to keep her fleshy, keep her diamond, or prevent the transformation from completing.

Emma has had some parts of her in diamond form without going into it fully with no clear discomfort so I don't think it'd be harmful if Null grabbed onto her mid transformation.

To get sciency about it. Her molecular structure is being altered so it is an active power but once something is transformed, it's in that state.

For comparison. If Null grabbed someone like Marrow, the bones shown will remain but she can't grow more bones while touching Null.

You know she's too much of a literal buzzkill to do that... Ask Logan to buy you booze.

Understandable. My questions ARE about things way in the future, just asked in case there was a set plan. The scope you guys are going for is nuts though, it's just a choice between a ton of work and a fuckton of work. It's one of the reasons I'm a big fan, if all goes according to plan by the time the game is done it'd

Being a fairly vanilla porn dating sim featuring Marvel is another. Still, at least currently a player could max out all stats through enough grinding right? Previous posts seem to indicate so but it'd be nice to have confirmation.

I'll wait for ronchonbon to reply then.

Logan would drink all the booze!

Please slow down with this to cut down on page length spam. One every now and then is fine, but this isn't a mod dev page. Just edit a post to add things and link it in a comment when you update.

Also, I chose not to do a cut away on the mouth of the hydra suit because Null can have different skin tones.

Honestly, that thing needs its own sub-page linked in the OP.

 

[The_Man_With_No_Name]

Honestly, that thing needs its own sub-page linked in the OP.

Everyone and their dog will be making mods soon it seems, so there will be quite a few links on the OP if they all have pages.

But I don't know. I know there is excitement, but keeping things contained with only a couple of jumbo posts( I only have 2 with one made recently) instead of every other post for pages is good so people don't need to scroll for days. If people feel that they absolutely must spam with jumbo posts, spoiler boxes are good too. Though if more modders spring up that will be a tough ask to keep things sane.

Anyway, 1.1 wait fatigue makes people pretty bored and loopy.

 

[The_Man_With_No_Name]

Hey kazzari, I was just trying to make sure others weren't put off going through the thread. You didn't need to delete everything. Your spoiler boxes and links were fine. No beef or bad feelings. You're good man.

me and my "dog" ... we are just slowing down ...

Alright, I didn't mean it to be derogatory. I'm included in that description too. I apologize if that put you in a bad spot.

Maybe, but the OP could have a general "Mods" spoiler box with the links to each mod's own thread linked inside. I know there's at least one game out there with that sort of setup, although I can't remember which one it is at the moment.

 

[MBD2212]

Nope. They are working on it now while finishing up the last goodies to add to chapter 1. There are preview pictures floating around page 1029 of Storm, Emma and Dazzler, and a picture of Kitty Pryde under the post you quoted.

Thank you.

 

[Ramen Rena]

It's too bad I can't see Rogue or Jean pregnant... what a tragedy..

 

[SHADOWM00N]

it has been awhile but I have a question for devs. if we choose to wear a certain grey suit with a red shirt, do we get the ability to Tiger drop bad guys?

I don't think so because as well all know Tiger Drop negates all damage and if Null had it he would become an omega level mutant in an instant.

 

[The_Man_With_No_Name]

I don't think so because as well all know Tiger Drop negates all damage and if Null had it he would become an omega level mutant in an instant.

That may be true, but if Gambit uses Pot of Greed, he can draw two new cards from his deck.

And what if Magik uses a black life steal or red burn deck? Hard to do a power match up.
