Ren'Py The Null Hypothesis [v0.7b] [Ron Chon]
- Thread starter ronchonbon
- Start date
Rogue would like those bunch of powers at once, plus Laura's claws just in case
maybe it's due to his body being badly damaged and having to adjust to handle the healing ability. chances are, his body is still growing and adapting to handle the power itself meaning it took weeks to work like Logan and Laura's does
damn this update DELIVERED, I hope dev keeps being based even when he starts making more money

I guess the most common seen complaint about chapter 1 is how often Null gets bodied. The reason being "He's a lvl 1 noob going up against lvl 99 mafia bosses" makes sense, but you gotta give some Ws to this mf. Folding a small backwater town singlehandedly is cool enough, but if he comes back coughing blood too it will feel closer to a defeat than a win, and add to the trope of this mf being a medicine beta tester. Shonen characters start off small and getting small wins, and when the threat is bigger than they can handle, they either resort to pulling off some bs power up, or being support to some heavy players. Idk I got stuck at Juggernaut. Keep resetting to see if I can beat the mf.

Dear lord have mercy, the boy his gonna get is pelvis destroyed!
Also, i really appreciate how in reverse cowgirl you can appreciate how small she actually is.
I reserve commenting on Ororo and Allison until i get to see them uncensored.
Well there is, you guys are missing the trees for the forest.
Shadow king? professor Xavier told you he had to fight that guy himself.
Juggernaut? you meet him and hes beating the snot out of Colossus, whos the biggest MF in school and toying with him.
Sentinels? they barge in through the ceiling, instantly know who is a mutant, and start shooting to kill with all the kids in the mall being unable to do jackshit to them.
All the times that the girls have told Null to stay put, they have been COMPLETELY right, hes way in over his head and does not understand the context of most of the things he ends up facing, that gets students killed all the time in the comics.
Its been talked about multiple times, the girls literally tell you what they want in order to pop their cherries, read.

Couple questions:
1) I've seen a lot of references to Marvel characters that aren't mutants and what their fate is in this universe - is this just gratuitous nerdery/worldbuilding or is the focus of the game intended to expand beyond just the X-men?
2) For chapter 1 the story structure involves slice of life stuff then a major event at the end of the season. Is this the planned structure for the whole game or have you talked about mixing it up more? Say with more regular events that build up on what happened/will happen with the last/next battle, or just dialogues that reference it. Seems like that might be a lot more work though, but I'm asking since some of the comic arcs the game's adapting are more complex than others.
3) Maybe this is spoiler-worthy, but how different is Null's power from Rogue's? At first glance it seems like he has a better version of what she does.
4) What's Null's reputation at the end of Chapter 1, after these various battles? Do other characters know Xavier has a special interest in him?

Fight against the Juggernaut, he got slapped across the room. Injured enough to trigger a heightened healing factor similar to Laura's which is right up there as one of the best in-universe.
Fight against the Sentinels, the guy gets blasted point blank and barely survived. But triggers a field to hampers powers, including his own new healing factor, as well as absorb energy from people in that field.
The answer is right there. His new nullification powers were slowing his healing factor and needed the energy from Laura, Jean and Rogue to keep him going until he healed. Hence the six weeks.

Been playing the game from scratch and came across a certain dilemma once again, to troll or not to troll...

I assume mostly gratuitous nerdery, as is customary for a comicbook universe. but also like... it would be kind of hard or straight up impossible to do an xmen story detached from the other parts of the franchise. Hydra, Shield, Godzilla, the Avengers, all of that is pretty core to the lore.
Huh, I totally forgot that Tony Stark is even talked about during one of the classes.

Non-dev opinion. Please roll eyes and ignore if you don't care.
I think the decision to have a news app in the phone to set tone of anti-mutant hatred was always going to create the question of "doesn't it look odd if we DON'T also have J. Jonah Jameson calling Spider-Man a menace for what he's doing in New York? This setting is in New York State after all", which, if accepted could in turn could lead to "why is Spider-Man the only non-mutant getting news coverage when he's not the only famous non-mutant?".
I don't think it's intended as remember-berries or pandering so much as trying to strike a balance between preventing hard to ignore omissions without endless scope creep.
I too would love to hear an answer for this.
Rogue as of C1 has a (IMO) pretty tragic relationship with her mutant ability. First time it manifested someone she really cared about wound up in a coma from touching her alone; and that's not something she's gotten over. Rogue doesn't have "off-switch" control over it and this is something she hasn't keep secret because she doesn't want to endanger others. I think a lot I could say about her power really is just my interpretation/opinion of the depiction of Rogue as a character (her main motivations, values, fears) beyond some of the most consequential facts. I think Rogue in some ways is the opposite of a classic superhero who could be expected in a story to fly in to where there's danger or tragedy and be loved by the masses for saving the day like some big blue boy scout because the strongest emotion her power inspires isn't hope (in the boy scouts world full of open minded people who could be counted on to want to do the right thing and cheer when it happens) but terror or outrage (in a world where getting killed by a mob feels like it's never more than minutes away).
Exactly what Null's ability/abilities is/are more slowly revealed, and again character interpretation applies. But by the facts: at the beginner of the game he doesn't have a power that's so obviously potentially destructive; he's not the easy fit for anti-mutant propaganda of violent threat . At the start he's actually much more like the boy scout. And Rogue learns if she touches Null (when his power is active)... it's fine.
My interpretation is Null and Rogue have almost opposite powers and relationships with their powers (at least at the start).

Be the man that I cannot by trolling Rogue and post the results.
I'm too much of a pussy to do it.
