Ren'Py Time Loop Hunter [v0.77.10] [Hydrahenker]

[HydraHenker]

Btw, is there any hope for further expanding the earlier days? I understand you're full steam ahead with the conclusion for the story but I was really liking the mechanic of finding skills and clues from the later days to abuse in the earlier ones. And again I want to say how absurdly impressive this game is on a mechanical level, the logic tree you posted a while back has left me astounded to this day.

Hello!
nothing planned, specially with the ripple effect that a change in the early days can cause to the rest.
I thought of doing "suicide runs for some fun points" but is a nice to have right now.

There was an update of the Demonstration event in version 0.77 to make less obligatory grindy and make it optional to explore all paths for an achievement . But the fall out of the event didn't change so I didn't need to change the seven days after.

Cheers!

in terms of QOL of timewarps
1) we cannot currently do the lisa quest in the timewarp (unless something else is needed to "make her happy")
2) I know that eventually we're going to be able to send georgia to the middle to take on the terminator but currently it's a hassle to remember which side you should send her to get a good result
3) there's no undo button in the timewarp, if you make a mistake then you got to do the entire thing over again

Understandable. I've been in awe of the interconnectedness and the scope of this game since 0.32 I think and was surprised and impressed it took so long for the Tightening to happen. I just wanted to experience the "manipulate/blackmail Hannah on day 1" all the way up and see how it is handled narrative wise. Will keep hoping for it to pop up for that suicide run fun point, but I absolutely understand the demands of the game and dev time.

how do you get into hannah's persuasion class?? She said I wasn't ready and i have no clue how to "be ready", the hint option isnt helping me either.

Never mind, " Reference that she's only wearing some rags." was the part i was missing

Dear HydraHenker


I usually don't comment but damn you got me !

Damn for many many years I have been avoided this game since it was released, after only trying it once while it had barely any content and the system was confusing so I dropped it.

I decided to give it a chance seeing the age of it and damn it was a suprise !!!
Been playing from the moment I wake up until I sleep for 3 days now !!!

They loop system and how you can manipulate different outcomes to achieve knowledge is astonishing you created a master piece !

The story is amazing and really deep and well integrated with the loop system.

But sadly without a walkthrough the game is really difficult since the WT gave me:

- Timelines to save and when to use them
- Steps critical to achieve an outcome
- Less time finding content

Issued related to me:

- I find it hard for my self to make the judgment on when to stop and go instead to a previous day to gather knowledge or change events
- Knowing which events are connected and needed for other events
- Which knowledge I need and in which timeline
- Remembering all of the info and what happened and what can be used again, manipulated or abused (Age factor )
- I played this run none stop, but if I was playing it between update I will lose my memory on events and stuff and would be harder to even play

The only bad things about this game in my honest opinion are :

- I would love if this game got new visiuals like newer games but who am I kidding this game is old and not fair to ask for visiual upgrades while you exchausted all this time on it, you should save the energy for a newer project if you would do it
- Difficulty navigating the story without a walkthrough



Lastly, I'm not sorry not playing this game all these years as it was a better experience to aquire knowledge at this exact day !
Thanks for your efforts.

3) What helped me her is using unren to unlock roll back and used it to fix these stuff, but take care using it on some events might mess up something like collecting a fun point or even changing outfits and scenes.

Hi!

I thought of doing that, but I feel it's too intrusive for the player. Another idea was, that CAS would pop up and tell you straight that this would be a good place to make a timeline. wink wink
But I feel that might be more like, "Oh let me tell you how I intended for you to play the game."
I battle with this a lot during the game, in some places, you might feel I go too handholdy, while in others I leave you to your fate.
It varies depending on who you ask. It could be optional like turning on/off but once I commit there will be another layer of complexity to the game. Complexity equals time.

PS : I'm HH using one of my tester computer.

Cheers!

thank you for your consideration, the only complaint that I have maybe the game's walkthrough's navigation. If the walkthrough focused on character's render and its requisite like unlock memory "Grope Jody at the Gym", it could make me focus on 1 character then proceed to another instead of trying to do from step 1 to finish, it also supports the sandbox's freedom gameplay

anw, got a meme for you.

are there any wrong choices? or any game overs?

There are oodles of wrong choices. None of them lead to a game over, because of the whole Time Loop thing.

Thank you!

There are things I would definitely do different if I had to do the game from 0 now.
There are two big progression systems in-game:
The Timeline progression are your actions in the current timeline and then there is a Meta-progression in the form of Memories.
The memories are in a hierarchy with dependencies, but the actions are just group by day. That's why is not so easy to represent a path for a desirable outcome . Also there is not really a connection between those systems, it's a very manual work...

I know is a game for a very niche public and I'm glad you enjoy it!

Cheers!

The last hint I have open is "did you talk to Ayumi and Hannah about Tor-Al". Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Game is crazy. Tried to play it on my own for a bit but gave up and just used the 0.62 WT and now that I reached the end there I'm super lost because I never learned to play the game haha

Neat concept but I'm too dumb for it.

with not being captured do you mean escaping the lab and then going to the piper base? I've done that but it hasn't triggered that memory then
