Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.07.01] [Aleksey90]

[JuiceBox12]

I honestly don't understand the point of this games existence. Not only does the story start from the very beginning, but so far it has played out literally exactly like the original one did. And on top of that, it feels almost just as much of a grind as the original too, which was by far the worst part about it. I understand that the dev intends to keep the story mostly the same until we reach where the original one ended (which at this rate will take about 2 years), but since he's apparently re-rendering everything from scratch as is, why not use the opportunity to take the narrative in a completely different direction, and you know, actually give us, the players, "another story". Because right now his talent at replicating, and even improving upon the visuals of the original, is really being wasted on this boring, grindy rehash. What a bummer...

Beauty of free market is that if you like it you can support it and play it, if you do not like it nobody is forcing you to play or support it.

On paper (or on screen) is correct. In real life, you like/dislike a game AFTER you supported and played it. If you don't like it, it's a waste of money and time. And here comes the beauty of pirate sites...

Not really. Game is not a finished product and you know that when supporting it. It can always go in the direction you do not like. Since you started to support it you liked it. If it goes in direction you do not like, you stop supporting it and stop playing, or you actually still like the game and just do not want to support creator, if you really do not have money i can understand, people can have difficult times, but otherwise you are just being selfish and ultimately self defeating, because if not enough people support creator he will just stop and everyone loses - you don't have continuation of game you like, he does not have money.

I don't question the point of this game's existence, but I do understand your wish for it to be more of an "another story", not "same, same, but a bit different." I would argue that the game so far is still in the intro phase, and you can't do that much different stuff if you do want to introduce Kira and Eric and keep the family characters overall intact. But now would be a good time to push further away from the original plot to make things interesting. What I understand is that changes are imminent (like a massage studio) let's hope that it becomes a big part.

The Dev clearly has talent, and he should be brave now to push away towards new storylines. Let's pray.

Here is a .psd template to make signatures (credit to Alley_Cat whose template for AWAM I took).
For photoshop newbies, install the two enclosed fonts, open the psd file with photoshop and click on the smart object "CHANGE IMAGE - CLICK HERE".
I made a couple of sigs of my own, if anyone likes them/doesn't want to make any themselves, feel free to use it.
This certainly ain't no Rita Hayworth poster, but welcome back anyway, .Black Panther..
PS By the way sigs I think need to be uploaded, but I never understood how to do that, if anyone can give info, it would be great.

After your hint about the templates (thanks for that) I decided to give it a try in my free time. here the some result (next post). I do not know how successful I was, I hope it is acceptable.
If the signatures are liked by friends, I will make more in the future

Does anyone have a save file with everything unlocked? All memories, etc. This game is giving me a headache setting here for hours with little progress. I have started the game twice, and it still gets confusing.

A few memories I have done, aren't unlocked either. I'm about fed up. I understand having a grind, but this game goes WAY overboard.

But you forgot that there is another side that nobody wants to see, the NTR. Basically, people will prefer that the game remains the same as the original, Eric is kicked out of the house, Max is going to fuck everyone and so ends the game. To become another story, you will need to create new non-definitive characters that will cause some temporary impact to make the game interesting, but for that, it requires a lot of work and a lot of time. In addition, the developer is not dominant on the Ren'py engine, because there are a lot of bugs and it takes a little time to fix them. This is not his fault, because I see many who are also unable to master the Unity engine, Ren'py, and use RPGM or another unknown engine, which is absolutely normal.

I tried that save file. It unlocked nothing. All the Memories and Photo's are the same as the game I have. It unlocked nothing new. My game refuses to unlock new things for some reason. Some I have already done just aren't unlocked. I am completely fed up with this.

I started the game....AGAIN...for a third time....and still some things aren't happening. I am just tired of this. Hours and hours wasted for nothing. The game needs a CLEAR path of doing things with exact progress to events and you need to be told EXACTLY what to do and when. This is just ridiculous at this point. I have TWO different walkthroughs, and it's still confusing.

You might need the persistent file. Try this one.

Also, make sure, as always with this game, to get the latest bug-fixed version. Right now, it should be this one (please correct if I'm wrong!)

I used your save file and your persistent file. Fresh install of the newest version of the game you have linked to. I replaced my old "persistent" file with this new one. Both in the saves folder, and the "appdata/roaming" folder where all renpy games stuff is saved.

Loaded up your save file. NOTHING is unlocked now. Everything is locked. I think I am done with this game now.

Sorry to hear that, I thought it'd work. Here's my save file in case that might help. I'm not entirely sure how persistent files work in Renpy.
