Ren'Py The Null Hypothesis [v0.7b] [Ron Chon]

[FacelessVixen]

*protag is sneaking up on juggernaut*
either this isn't going to be lore accurate, or im going to get tossed like a fucking ragdoll
*protag accomplishes jack shit and gets back breakered by the fucking wall*
oh goody, also ow.

in all seriousness i do appreciate the attention to detail.

Thus why I call Null 'Wobbuffet'.

Also, since you're new, a pro tip: Polygamy is a thing, but pay attention to what everyone can say in regards to it, else Consent Simulator™ claims another victim.

Could be that once they're implemented in the actual game, Kitty will look appropriately smaller next to the scenery and the other girls.

She will. It's also a perspective thing. Null is 6'0 and Laura's like 5'1? She's "tall" like the others only because you'd be seeing nothing but her eyes and up if we didn't go for perspective distance.

In isolation Kitty's proportions don't seem petite but when next to other girls, in CGs, and when she's in the background she'll be tiny.

A couple of the guys behind this game float around here from time to time and have proven time and again they know their stuff. All fans here. One of the greatest strengths of this project.

I read 30 years of comics in 1 month while one of our writers read 60 years across a more moderate 3 months. The dev team was genuinely concerned for my health and told me to stop outlining the plot once I hit chapter 4. I'll go back to outlining it when we get closer to it but I was brain storming too much.

With 1.0, when the second year starts, until that version they are still finishing the mechanics

No

1.1, 1.0 is when the mechanics and year 1 slice of life will be complete and the release after is the new year / new girls.

1.1 is when the second year starts.
1.0 is when they've done everything for year 1.

These two get it.

1.0 also won't just be when Year 1 is finished. It's our hope that 1.0 will be when all core systems are in place so that we'll very rarely ever have to go under the hood.

A reminder for why we chose this approach. This is 99% of the reason other Renpy games have saves break. In our current dev cycle we've only had saves break ONCE because of this design philosophy.

The more complete it is, the more stable it will be so that we'll just need to plug in art and writing.

I would say you're just as qualified as a marvel writer these days, but that would be insulting toward you.

Besides I doubt you'll have us live on some dumb island or make half the plotlines "How can I ruin Scott's day"

Shinny, will the older girls still get new outfits?
Im still kinda waiting for this one, its very iconic.

Spoiler: I just wanna know if i should reign in the hopes until modding becomes a thing.

I would unironically hand the reigns of X-men to the TNH team, atleast they like the damn comics and characters.
I cant believe the characters read more like how they are supposed to sound like and act the part better than the actual comics.

To be somewhat fair, "ruin Scott's day" is a story trope they've used for awhile now. I guess it's almost tradition at this point.

But yeah they don't really seem to understand their own characters... or anything else they own for that matter. But that's a parent company wide problem.

 

[The_Man_With_No_Name]

By the way, I know the gals are the focus, but were there plans to hang out more with Kurt before 1.1? I'm assuming more of the boys will show up in 1.1.

I was digging a bit in the files and saw reference to Scott, his bro Alex, Wolverine, Hank, and Colossus.

 

[BadThingsHere]

How far is this game? Is it as long as rogue-like? is there a clear endgame yet (like when you max out a character in rogue-like and unlock all interactions, I can't think of a better word for it).

Rogue-like isn't finished yet but the characters feel complete if you know what I'm saying, at least that's how it is with most characters apart from the newer ones. Is this game the same? Or do the characters just run out of dialogue and content abruptly?

Bro hangouts are planned.

What's gonna be Dazzler's relative age and relation to the characters? Like we know Storm is a teacher and Kitty is most likely gonna be our underclassman. What's Dazzler gonna be?

No. Not far. They are just now finishing the first chapter which is divided into 4 playable mission sections based on seasons of the year, each ending in a main mission narrative bit. They're also finishing and testing the system features before moving to chapter 2 which I assume follows the same formula.

They have the writing so far scoped out to chapter 4.

"How can I ruin Scott's day"

"Can I ruin Scott's day"

"Can I ruin Scott"

"Ruin Scott"

"Scott"

Thus why Jean is my unicorn for my current run.

Fuck Scott.

Same thing that's going on with me and her best friend. Cmon buddy, you know who I'm talking about...

Just as soon as Null hears that, he can just hear a SNIKT!
And this starts playing.

Shinny, will the older girls still get new outfits?

Yes.

Im still kinda waiting for this one, its very iconic.

I thought we had that in... Unless it was removed when we overhauled the wardrobe. Regardless, it is iconic and she will wear it.

Also these ones.

I fought for the Marvel girl outfit because it was in line with the other girls having Krakoa outfits similar to classic but Ron already had the OG TV show option.

A feature I want, but isn't on the table for budget reasons, was that each chapter the girls would change super suits based on the outfit they were wearing during that arc. Though Kitty would be a huge money sink for that idea lol.

But yeah all suits are on the table. It's just a time and budget thing.

I guess it's almost tradition at this point.

Yeah some traditions we do away with. Like human sacrifice.

By the way, I know the gals are the focus, but were there plans to hang out more with Kurt before 1.1?

MAYBE.

Previews of some other mansion areas have been out for awhile so if we can get them programed in I don't see why we wouldn't throw some Nightcrawler hang out sessions before Chapter 2.

1.1? I'm assuming more of the boys will show up in 1.1.

Colossus is the only bro confirmed to be in the sandbox.

I was digging a bit in the files and saw reference to Scott, his bro Alex, Wolverine, Hank, and Colossus.

For the others.

1. Scott would leave by the end of Chapter 2 so waste of art and time to have him running around the sandbox.

2. The greatest crime that comes from hating on Scott is that his brother is WORSE. Scott actually has redeeming qualities.

3. I outlined Wolverine to be included in Chapter 2 as a sandbox bro but the budget is currently doesn't permit when we got a bunch of girls to get drawn.

4. Hank doesn't rejoin the X-Men till like halfway through Chapter 4 in the comic timeline.

Bro hangouts are planned.

Indeed they are.

What's Dazzler gonna be?

A transfer student in the same semester as Null. Anything else is a spoiler.

Roguelike has been in development for a good 10+ years longer than TNH. so no, they are not as far along as Roguelike

as for the progress of the game, chapter 1 is complete of a planned 5 chapters, and there are still features and mechanics to be added in upcoming updates. They're in it for the long haul.

Nope, this is the closest there is, the corset its a full on one.

I mean, personally, I'd rather she didn't wear it...or, you know, anything.
