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

[Hazeti]

The writers are sadistic in the best way possible and that includes you as well Shiny , ik you and that fancy psych degree of yours keeps whispering into their ears feeding more psychological trauma for us to experience if we stray too far away from the light

 

[NexivSelecaf]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF. I really shouldn't have read those, goddamn. Specially the last part with Rogue looking down and walking away without saying anything...

Holy shit man. That's what i get for ignoring the warning.

To be honest, when the cheating mechanic was first introduced, it was bugged, so it just got annoying by the third or fourth time to the point was I was like "Iight. Shut up, bitch." and just kept playing.

 

[Buttholder]

I wrote a thing a while back of 'what's the worst thing you could do or say to each girl to destroy them', and they either followed a theme of 'you know that Hope I gave you? Ha! Sucker!" or just simply "you deserved it". I think Laura's was both.

Contrary to what some might think, given how a lot of my stuff apparently skews towards the 'emotionally devastating' side of the spectrum (don't remember who said that, but I remember your words!) I did not enjoy writing that at all.

 

[Bosss]

First I'll say my claiming to be a community manager wasn't meant to be aggressive. I'm just the most informed when it comes to the project in broad terms.

Second. I didn't call you dumb. Though your math isn't taking into account variables. All of 0.9 and 1.0's features pale in comparison to us basically forking Renpy. Before Ron, as far as I am aware, Renpy didn't have real time physics.

Different things take different amount of time. Earlier in development we got a lot of complaints about updating too quickly.

An example of time difference is that a location is just a piece of art and a button sending you there. The date system already exists, so group dates is just expanding on that.

We also have more coders so the time it took Ron to do stuff on his own has shortened significantly. If he has to take a break again, we have someone to keep coding.

Third. Whether you intend it or not. You are coming off EXTREMELY rude, dismissive, and outright antagonistic. People don't care about your intent. The reason I am even responding to you is because I assume English is not your first language and you are not aware that your phrasing is coming off so offensive to people.

What you view as toxic and aggressive, is in reality people rightfully defending themselves from someone who, by appearances, is just being an asshole.

But as I've been doing this a long time. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Will start from the end. Yep, english is no my 1-st language. Not even a second. If I offend someone unrelated to this, pls forgive me, never to intend. When come to this forum, never did I intendet to offend someone in a first place.

I was just saying, that I don't like comics Kitty style. Not your`s team art, not a team itself, just a comics character. I didn`t give orders to you to change anything, i didn't say - "devs must, devs should, change, etc). That's it. Then, this good, non toxic comunity called me a jerk (for my opinion). Even you, gaslighting me about "you are rude". Yes, I am. Thanks to the comunity members, who attack me for my opinion.

You changed the topic of conversation. Why you don`t mention that there are still 2 years until 2027. You yourself said that “updates come out every 4-6 months”. Now you don’t mention this. Only “variables” appeared. You came up with phrases about things I never wrote. Example - 1.1 is coming soon.
To be honest, to me, It`s look like “yes, I was wrong, but I can`t say this".
I said - "we relesing updates 4-6 month". Forget about it. I said - "you are wrong about 2027. It`s to long". Forget about it. I will add a "variables" in conversation, "variables" in update schedule. But, sadly to you, all yours new "variables", actually only increasing time needed to finish development. So... at the end we got this: Whatever it takes just to say "no, you are wrong".

Still, thank you for your time and explanation. I`m sure, it will help some people.
I never thought , that people from different nations, could have so troublesome communication. Just because of different interpretation of the words. What seems harmless to me, rude to you.

This is an announcement directed at everyone.

All quirks are and will be based off of existing personality traits.

As salscou mentioned, their behaviors are representative of the actual characters. We just take them to the extreme, within psychological reason, and make them kinky.

If you want a bunch of strong willed women to act submissive, go play Oni's Rogue Like. This is not an attack on RLE, it's a recommendation for a game you will likely enjoy.

So for those curious about future girls. Without spoiling:

Kitty will be feisty nerd naive about Super Heroes, Storm will be conflicted over how she presents herself, Dazzler will feel like the music industry is fucking her over, and Emma will be a sultry seducers with issues stemming from a family that is royally messed up.

You can take a guess at what their quirks will be, but characters will be as authentic as possible. There's like 3 Evo inspired games out there. Y'all can survive with a comic inspired one.


Our coders do not patiently wait for the art to arrive before they begin coding. They code the scenes and then plug the art into them. At the same time, our writers do not wait until they are done programming scenes for us to write the text. In fact it's the other way around. Our writers have to put facial expressions and body movements in the text.

Here is an example of what that looks like.

InteractionClass(
DialogueClass("narrator", _("You hear sounds of anger mixed with sobs on the other side of the door.")),
DialogueClass("ch_LauraKinney", _("{i}Grrrrrr{/i}, go away, [Player.first_name].")),
DialogueClass("ch_LauraKinney", _("*sniffle* I know you're there.")),
DialogueClass("ch_Player", _("Sorry. . .")),

Ahem, as I've said before; I'm happy that a post that I've created was deemed worthy enough to be made into someone's signature, let alone the community manager of the game that I'm the most excited about.


However, did you really have to use THAT as an example of the underlying code?

I'm just saying, if your posts are getting deleted when you think they aren't rude then maybe you should go through Google Translate or something similar first before posting?

Because as it stands your post still reads like a rude backhanded non-apology to me.

 

[Null Void Abyss]

Speaking of which, since no one else has done it yet I've decided to post all the Heartbreak Monologues Boots posted on Discord just in case your day has been a little too happy.

Rogue: Content warning for me deep diving into the psychological spiral that is Rogue's mind when you cheat on her.
The girl has rock bottom self esteem, you give her hope, make her feel loved, make her first time special. You made all of it perfect... and then you betrayed her. Was it something she did? Was she not good enough?

Of course not... Everything was too good to be true. Of course she wouldn't be enough. She's not strong like Laura or smart like Jean. She's just some country girl that Xavier took pity on.

How could someone as pathetic as her deserve the love of such an amazing guy? He can't possibly be at fault. Not when she apparently has nothing worth keeping you from straying...

I explicitly gave a content warning so don't get mad if you click on it.

Laura: Here's one for Laura.
She taught you how to defend yourself and you taught her many things in return. You taught her compassion. You taught her friendship. You taught her what it feels like to be loved. To watch movies, to laugh at jokes, to enjoy being around people.

Her routine used to be so simple. Sleep, eat, train, repeat. But you made it more complicated in the best of ways. Wake up, go to class, say hi to friends, go on a date with the man that taught so much...

Then you taught her heartbreak. Was this normal? Do normal people cheat on the people they say they love? It doesn't make sense. Did he lie? What else did he lie about? Did he lie about friendship? Did he lie about her value?

Are Rogue and Storm lying about caring about her too? It was too good to be true... it's always too good to be true.
Content warning for sad feels.

Kitty: Content warning for a sad Kitty Kat.
Things were going so awesome! She was like finally in college! Also despite being a small town it had everything she could ask for! A movie theater, a game shop, and a huge food court at the mall! She even got the opportunity to be super hero! Heck yeah! An opportunity that came with a tutor who was a total hottie!

... But wait no... He cheated, that's not cool. He was like... so supportive. Helping her with homework, training in the danger room, helping her pick out the perfect super suit. He even told her that he loved her... but he slept with someone else.

College is like meant to be adventure right? Finally being an adult. Making adult friends... Having adult problems... But like no this was meant to be awesome right? Being a super hero with a loving... boyfriend... right?

I'm working on Jean. She's harder than you'd expect.

Jean: Content warning for sad Jean.
Expectations. So many god damn expectations. She must always be the best, but she can't outshine her comrades. She must be the smartest, but she can't make the others feel dumb. She should be strong willed, but she shouldn't make the others feel inadequate. So many expectations, all of them demanding perfection...

Until you came along. You came into her life and shattered her own expectations. Someone who told her she didn't need to be the best at everything. Someone who told her that she could feel as much as she needs to feel. Someone that told her that she was already perfect the way she was... Someone who broke her heart.

Expectations... Like all setbacks, she is expected to conquer them and come out for the stronger for it... But the pain is so distracting that she doesn't know where to begin. She thought she was the mature one, but now all she wants to do is hide herself away and will the pain away.

THIS ONE WAS HARD

Bonus: Riven was delightful and dove into the code for material. Here's what happens when you try to visit a girl after cheating on them!
"You hear someone crying inside the room."
Null: *Knocks*
Jean: "*sniffle* Go away!"
Null: "Jean, it's me."
Jean: "I. . . don't want you to see me like this."

"You hear sounds of anger mixed with sobs on the other side of the door."
Laura: "*Grrr* Go away, Null."
Null: "..."
Laura: "*sniffle* I know you're there."
Null: "Sorry. . ."

"You hear faint sobbing from inside the room."
Null: *Knocks*
Rogue:"*sniffle* "Who is it?"
Null: "Rogue, it's me."
Rogue: "Null? Sorry, Ah want to be alone right now. . ."

"Rogue Approaches you after class"
Rogue: "Did Ah do somethin'?"
"Rogue lowers her gaze and turns to leave before you can respond"
Rogue: "Sorry. . . Ah'll leave ya alone. . ."


All of the above was Boots's words, I just formatted it a bit.

WTF Tommy, you bring that monstrosity here ? your one sick sadist lol.

 

[DarkLurker12]

I see your evo kitty in attack mode and i raise you a space farmer kitty angry at space cowboy!

Hey now, I'm just sharing the things on Discord with those who haven't joined. Not my fault they can't resist their own curiosity when Both Boots and I have clearly and repeated warned of the contents within.

Also misery loves company. That too.

You know anytime someone new, mistakenly cheat on the girls and they regret it, show them the post.

Nah more like someone who asks why a girlfriend is angry with them for cheating; but then again these types of players probably won't care anyway.

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

Well yeah, thats because the princess bitch isnt Jean, shes her own fun thing.
TNH's Jean is Jean Grey, hidden hornyness and all.

This image specifically was shared when we were discussing Jean being repressed and is why she goes overboard with course correctement.

All of the above was Boots's words, I just formatted it a bit.

Might want to put it in quotations. Those can contain inline spoilers.

Although since they're long, you may want to use normal spoilers. Like I did with the Kitty and Hermione hair comparison.

holy shit you can absolutely destroy Laura.

It's almost as if I specialized in abnormal and developmental psychology. Giving me the knowledge of how a human being constructs their own identity, and understanding what it's like when their worldview is shattered.

I'm not gonna quote because I don't want read, but I'll just assume that Boots was inspired by cheating on every girl in Persona 4 in order to come up with all of that.

Holy shit man. That's what i get for ignoring the warning.

Note that the monologues are just me explaining a train of thought before you knock on their door using my understanding of psychology and the characters.

The conversation examples afterward are in the actual game and you will see much worse if you do cheat on them. I chose the tame stuff.

However, did you really have to use THAT as an example of the underlying code?

No, but I am aware that Laura is the most popular among our F95 exclusives.
(Yes Faceless I know you bring the Rogue hype enough to rival them)

Damn skippy! Ah love mah submissive an' breedable goth girl!

Its a true part of her character aswell, as soon as she graduated she dropped the bodysuit, went with a skimpy outfit and kept clinging to Cyclops constantly, not to mention her gig as a bikini model.

You can see it all through-out dark phoenix too, Jean is a good woman but God is she

underneath all the prim and proper facade, Dark Phoenix wouldnt have happened if Scott hadnt been lost in the savage lands to plow her hard daily after she got the phoenix force.

You sir, are devious in nature.

 

[NexivSelecaf]

And thus the realization of posting... the thing... when someone cheats on Rogue never punishes the intended targets.

But at least the bad fan fiction doesn't hurt me anymore.

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

not to mention her gig as a bikini model.

That was more editorial influence than a reflection of her character. Mary Jane, She-Hulk and a few others were "models" around that time because sex sells.

We cut that part of her character really early.

Everything else was accurate. It's why her "sluttification" in Krakoa wasn't character assassination in my opinion. She just stopped giving a fuck.

You sir, are devious in nature.

I mean throwing up billboard sized content warnings was me using reverse psychology to hurt you. So you shouldn't be surprised when I casually throw in that piece of code.

What anime is that?

Eh, i dont see it that way, the black queen is the personification of Jean's worst traits, thats like saying stopping giving a fuck means you will whole heartedly throw yourself at your worst vices and characters flaws, even if you did, it isnt good for you and people that care about you wouldnt be supportive of it.

What anime is that?

No fucking clue, i just saw it once while looking for the horned reaper rap and well, horny redhead fits the theme with good ol' Jeanie.

 

[LordPancitoFresco]

What anime is that?

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha. I think i watched it years ago but i cant remember a single thing about it

 

[sleepingkirby]

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha. I think i watched it years ago but i cant remember a single thing about it

I loved it. Pity there wasn't more in anime form. It's basically solving magical world problems through education and economics instead of overwhelming power because forcing solutions through force/power begets more suffering and causes life to get worse for everyone. A lesson that's much needed in the world currently.

Just out of curiosity, is She-Hulk under consideration for later flings?
