Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.08.02] [Aleksey90]

Ok, I'm through with telling anyone anything about the game, believe whatever you like, if it works for you, it works for me.

I'd like a direction in the game were Max and Eric are in an endless tug of war (or cooperation) to getting the girls where one could even cuck the other due to losing too much points or making bad decisions. If the player likes Eric, then have Max make bad decisions. If the player likes Max, then have Max make good decisions. And yes, get the girls fucked by Eric or Max or both. I'm guessing that might satisfy everybody? This is another story after all. My 2 cents.

In the past update the dev saie that "because of the new clothing system... we did not have time to add much to the game regarding the path of friendship with Eric." And that more will come in the next update; now the supposed beta-testers said that this path now leads to a game over. (This Is what they wrote at least, can't verify personally yet).
If that's the truth, that Is really disappointing, It clearly wasn't set up to end so abruptly.
The only explanation that i can think of Is that now the patrons that shill a lot of money for the game pressured him into doing so.
As Eva Kiss said "making compromises Is unavoidable but artistic integrity should be Paramount"; and look at her games, no one Is complaining there, they have different paths and different kinks so there Is something for everyone.
Why force people that likes different thing from you out of the game? Even considering that if you don't like one path you can just play the other.
But no, let's make a game with no variety and no choices that will surely make it better.

If aleksey really goes that way than game will be dead and no reason to pay or patreon it over glamour or old bb…

Ok, let me explain, you do not have to get rid of Eric in the next update. There are facts that you should know, but people don't like facts, so I'll just stop right there. And yes, your right friendship with Eric will continue in another update. Who knows maybe you'll get to do everything you always wanted to with Eric? Maybe Tinker bell will show up, and they will live happily ever after. Put your money own whatever horse you like, we'll get there.

In the original version, the whole game for me was the hoops the MC had to go through in order to seduce the ladies. Yes it ended up as a harem game, but it was the most organic one I've played (if such a thing exists). In most harem games, pretty soon you are fucking everybody. BB was the only game that actually made me feel like I earned it. The mom especially was a pain in the ass to crack which makes perfect sense considering she is your mom and of course she should hesitate. Even seducing Alice was fun because she seemed to hate you at the beginning, yet you slowly corrupted her with the blog and porn.

For me that was the point of the game and what I enjoyed. Eric got in the way of all that and that's why I wanted him gone. For me he was an obstacle on the road to playing the real game. Yes a little challenge is good, but jumping through the ladies' hoops was enough for me. After all it's a porn game, if I want strategy I prefer Age of Empires lol

 

[Zane11]

Yeah, that sums it up right there. I mean we're not going to fight in the game, only overcome obstacles. Eric is one of them, but just one, there will be others. Oh, and I prefer Age of Empires III.

I prefer Age2, no offence 11
Though I am currently having quite a bit of fun with Age4

good old times, the cheats still works with the cars and cows?

Oh yes, they even added the Cobra Cars in remastered Definitive Edition!

Sry to break it to you guys, I'm going to ask about the another story game, is worth it? how much difference has compared with the original??

 

[Flubberdub101227]

my game crashes upon opening the game now?

the same game with less content , better renders

This community is a big distortion where people can't understand a purpose. I'm not Eric or NTR's lover, but there are games that manage to make it interesting, as in the case of Big Brother and Lucky Mark. For me they were games that had great scripts, but that there was a below average development in its plot. I could cite several examples of BB, one of them is the personality that each character has. It's non-existent, something you'll define with your own point of view. The Ann's backstory I never agreed (old bb), is something that could have been better, as well as from Alice, it would be more interesting if she had an ex-boyfriend who cheated on her and she started to disbelieve in men and that she started to like girls with which that she was having an affair with Kate. This is just an idea, don't take it seriously.

It wasn't just Eric who was poorly developed, was the story DS wrote. It's like he did that on purpose, like, "Hey, I've never socialized in my life, is this character cool?" everyone who played the game started to avoid him and wanted him to leave as soon as possible, the character ended up being horrible and generated a great hatred from his public. But if you notice, Eric and Max have the same goal, have sex with everyone in the house. But their paths are different, while Eric is a swindler guy who will make girls become yours prostitutes and Max almost the same thing. Am I wrong? Max doesn't blackmail? Max does not dominate? If it's to create a game where Max will give affection and love, just label the game as teen romance games where the MC has sex with love with his family.

To be honest, I think the biggest stupidity is putting a 'game over' in a porn game, even more like this one that has a lot of grind.

I get what you're saying... but look at it this way. If Eric gets hogtied and launched across the city with a trebuchet... then what happens to the game? The struggle between Max and Eric IS the game. You are fighting for supremacy against him. Losing that struggle ends the game, but winning the struggle wins you the Harem. If Eric gets erased from the fabric of time, then that takes any fulfillment and sense of accomplishment away. It takes the game away.

I do not want to see this game turn into a VN with extra steps, I honestly don't. There needs to be some kind of conflict to give the player something to do aside from hunting for nudes. The nudes are the reward, not the objective. Replace Eric with someone else, I honestly do not care, just give me something to do so that this game stays a game.

Edit: I might have misunderstood the spirit of your post. This is more for the people that want Eric gone completely, not for you specifically.

I've already mentioned that Eric is a resource for Max's approach to his mother!
The game is not a war between Eric and Max!
Eric only exists to make Max get close to the girls inside his house!
It could be any NPC, they are resources. Max is a Resource, his relatives are a resource, everything is a resource. If the Producer places 1 neighbor, it will be a resource!
Among this resource, there is history and paths for you to be able to follow!

Let's imagine a different story for Max and Eric. Let's imagine they are friends, to the point where they help each other in the search for the girls. Soon story has changed and the fact hasn't changed, Eric remains a resource for history!
Whether he sucks or not!

Whether you want it or not!
People need to be content with what they have, not complain, complain and complain!

You need to understand that the feature has limitations, and a purpose, when that purpose is long, you don't need to keep that feature in-game!

 

[kelvinll]

If I could afford it, I would suggest several things to the producer of this game. Like a GIF of the sex scene with Kira on the couch. Just like when Max finds Ann and Eric in the bathroom.
Well it's better with things moving!
But I'm not complaining on the forum because the producer didn't post these GIFs.
I wish Alice had more personality than she already has, but I don't complain here!
I wish there was a way to play with the girls as well as with Max, going to schools, parties etc.
Human beings are hard to please, everyone has different desires and tastes.
For example, I'm not attracted to Lisa, I think she's pretty, but she doesn't compare to Ann Kira and Alice!

To get people to like what you have, give thanks and stop complaining and hammering the same nail every time. Try giving advice that sharpens the producer's creativity and stop giving hater

 

[PreachyLocust]

So after all this talk is it confirmed we can finally get rid of Eric in the next update?

 

[Nemo56]

Sry to break it to you guys, I'm going to ask about the another story game, is worth it? how much difference has compared with the original??

New scenes with the girls, fewer side characters, a new character, one to come, a rough hint system, new gameplay mechanics (using cameras,online bank, interconncted opportunities, choccolate, also Max' clothing is important to trigger a certain scene. It won't work with the T-Shirt on).

I mostly just want to see some significant progress with Alice and Lisa in the next episode. Don't really care if we can get rid of Eric yet as long as we can completely block him. I'd like to see the blog story with Alice advance to the point of sex and the "lessons" with Lisa advance at least as far as oral. I'm less worried about Anne since I assume progress with her is going to take forever.

For that you'll have to wait a bit. Update 7 Part 2 is not about them really. I think the most we can expect is Lisa wearing a little less during the night. I don't care about Ann much anyway, she is just so boooooring.
