ev sleep olv lsb 3.png


The code of Big Brother in Space is organized in a way that the story (opportunities) does not depend on repeatable events. If an event is needed to be complete, it is "hardcoded" in the opportunity itself and once done there, it becomes available as a repeatable event later. This way the story progression is more manageable and easier to support in later stages of the same "opportunity". This was the reason why the blackjack game in 0.7 was rigged - freeplay is not something I want in the story progression so even though the code was there, I decided to hardcode the cards and player's actions in that event.

The blackjack game will return in 0.8 (again with Lisa and Olivia) in the "Schoolmate" opportunity with two more hardcoded events - you'll lose in the first one and win in the next and the bet you make with the girls will be that the loser has to spend the rest of the evening and sleep naked. Of course Olivia doesn't mind - she sleeps like that anyway, but when Lisa's naked body is next to hers, things start to heat up.

More fun stuff yay, and new toys in the mod so also yay (if it doesn't break things). Thanks for keeping us up to date (it's telling and slightly worrying that the Dev being communicative and getting updates on on time feels weird and unusual)

I just hope that sharing the development progress won't spoil the fun of actually playing the game when I finally release it.

Hmm lets take the low bar as no updates or communication in 6 months and the game flagged as abandoned or we get to learn the devs coding secrets ... I'm willing to risk the peek behind the curtain (also I have hopes of doing a BB-ish game myself one day so hints and tips are always good

Honestly - if there is one advice I'd like to give to myself a year ago would be to keep it simple. Having that many quests running in parallel is absolute nightmare and doesn't serve any purpose - e.g. Alice has 'massage', 'spiders', 'party', 'blog' and it's not like you can get any progress with her in one without somehow replicating it with the others. I've done a poll in Patreon about adding a VN mode which would have me figure out a proper order for all the opportunities and get them in a VN-like play style and as you know it was voted against having it for 0.8, but I think I'd have to do it anyway for 0.9 and once I have the order for all the steps in the opportunities, I'll rework the sandbox mode to have one quest for each girl.

has anyone been able to get the incest patch to work? I tried both (one at a time), by putting the .rpa file in the game folder, but I don't see any family references like "mom", etc

I like this game, definitely better then the original bb game. But i have a small request, can you put an option to pick a female protagonist in the beginning. Because I never played a sandbox vn with female protagonist.

I don't have the resources to do it - I'm just one guy doing this in my free time. It's absolutely impossible for me to support different protagonists, plus I think Glamour was an absolute shitshow with the alternating updates between Kate and Max and I'll stay away from that.

I Think that's were most versions full down you've a bunch of plots with different states so in one event you're bonking like rabbits then next scene you're treating seeing her in her bra like a major victory it just becomes a huge knotty mess.

Glamour was better and worse the more linear narrative helped ... at least Kates story, but stuff wasn't consistent enough between the two stories if a vn approach gets us a completed story or even a completed arc of a story it has my vote

That's exactly my reasoning behind wanting to convert it to a "one quest per NPC" mode - right now if you progress in one of the quests, I need same progression steps in the others and put a break on the first one till the others are done. It effectively makes the progression linear for that character, but it's forcing the players to figure out which quest is active next.

The VN mode will help with that because it will put the steps in current quests for each character in order, so it will be much easier to define the mapping between the quests as well as the dependencies between the characters. Plus it will make the game more enjoyable for players who don't like sandboxes so I'll probably go for it in 0.9. But for now, I'm focused on releasing 0.8.

After installing the patch you have to make sure you go into preferences and change the language from English to incest.

for me the problem with sandbox was all too often that the progression with a single character was not linear in all scenes. I could do anal with Alice in one scene, and she should still scream me out of the bathroom at midnight. I like free roam, but this really broke my immersion each time.

That's what I'll try to fix with the changes on how the sandbox is organized. Once you go to a certain step in the relationship, I'll add additional screens and extend all existing events. Plus the VN mode will fall back to sandbox once you get to the end of the current update. It will take time to get it done - about two weeks or so and I think this is why my patreons voted against making this for 0.8, but each new version will just pile up more and more stuff to be refactored. I'm going to do it for 0.9 since the only thing I have planned there is a Valentine's day event with Lisa which will not have much content in terms of scenes and animations anyway.

@lewdfictiongames: one thing I do hope you will keep from the original BB story is that slowly but steady shift in the power dynamics. At the beginning, you were the perv and not respected and you figured out how to slowly corrupt all members of your *notfamily* and increase your power, until you finally were able to spank all in the nude at dinner.. I loved playing that

I posting this here, since my Patreon page got suspended again because patches and tags violating their ToS were added to the OP :confused:. I hope it will be resolved soon...

I've started with the story and the dialogue for 0.8 and in one of the first newly added events you show the shapeshifters' stream to Alice while rubbing her feet hoping that it will convince her to do more with you while she is streaming.
