VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.12.3] [Nyx]

[Antherak]

Because they live in different cities, perhaps, no? 6 hours flight and so on. I can't say that there are much less content with them comparing to other LIs

Regardless of where they live, i would have liked a phone call, or a text, some small interaction, to remind you that they exist. Yes, based on your list, they do have 3 big interactions, i never denied that, what i was stating is that with only 3 interactions segments in a 12 chapters game, it feels very far and few while most girls have somethng every chapter.

You're not forced if you're not trying to mess with more than one girl by yourself. Regarding Layla. If you payed attention at the first class (geography) AND stayed with Erynn after night club (no piggyride and train scene with Layla & Elena) - then you will never keep up with her love path w/o using cheats or increasing the points. You will be able to go to the beach with them, but you will always be lack of 2-4 or more points to keep up. She will not show MC her boobs, and after that you're out of her path, since any attempt after to flirt or "check her out" will result in losing points with her rather than gaining them. She will finally get the "friends" var at the training camp, but things are fucked up much earlier than that

Thanks, that's what i needed. I think my mistake was going with them after the bar instead of Erynn. I'm only mildly interrested in Erynn, but if thats a big breakpoint, that's the way i'll go in the future. I though picking enough points with her to be friends instead of no interactions, loosing a few points on purpose by checking them all while not picking more than half the possible ones would be enough, but i will try the more starved points at the beginning since i know now friends requirements with her is pretty low.

It was explained well, why. She got almost no friends because of her mom being principal. And got annoyed with dumbass Lucas, who had took a joke and harmless flirt far too seriously. MC is not that far away from her, tbh. He was lucky that he met Iris a couple of years ago. Otherwise MC would be a male version of Layla at the beginning of the game. MC inner thoughts about Layla and her behaviours hints that he likes it a lot. Like "please, Layla, never change". And it's understandable, her playfulness, a bit childish behaviour and curiosity in new things to her are treasure. People grow up anyway, but do you need to seem or be really more mature than you are at 18?

That can be one way of seeing it. Yes, i am indeed much (much) older now, be with my experiences, it felt for me like she is acting more like 14-16, even including the MC if you believe he's similar. I understand also that they HAVE to all be 18 for Patreon. One thing also that feels funny to me, as a non-American (Canada) is: can you be 18 and in highschool wihtout being a repeater? I always thought of high school as the kids school, while college for the 18+. Different systems i guess, so my perception is different.

Your grouping of the girls is correct so far, but you are still missing some information. The girls are divided into two groups.

1. MC with LI (Main Character with Love Interest)
2. SC (Side Character)

Yes, i know about that, i just meant grouping in game, as story scenario blocks. Almost like 2 parralel stories with rare interaction between certain girls. I also thought i read many pages back that only Nikki, Cara, Erynn, Layla and Alexis were main LI's. (as in, dedicated endings)

Since i don't want a save per girl (which may happen over time anyways), my personal wishlist endings i'd like would be Elena, Nikki, getting back with Iris and most likely way in the future, a full Erynn where you see her through her issues, which is what i think the game cannon, if any, would imply goign with characters background stories.


I think my next try will be an Alexis one trying to make Erynn jealous, to try those vs inteactions you mentionned. Just wish the game had a "phone" or menu where you could see your points and your status with the girls.

This came is so interesting. I have to stop and let the game be updated a few more times so I don't get bored with seeing the same thing over and over to get to the updated each time. Definitely a good game.

INTERTWINED RELATIONSHIP AND CATEGORY TIER LIST

Inspired by my discussions with LSC82 about his Intertwined "circles of relationships" and minibaer12's posts, I DRAFTED an Intertwined relationship and category tier for newbies to the game and players who have a hard time keeping track of how everyone is "intertwined" in this game. "Who's connected to who? Who's related to who?"

This might also be useful to returning players of the game who haven't played for a very long time.

NOTES:

1. SPOILER ALERT: Knowing who's related and connected to who beforehand will definitely ruin a lot of the game's experience. You should have played multiple Intertwined paths before checking it out. Or if you don't like surprises, you can just take a peek.
2. It's a draft so it's definitely open for criticisms, suggestions and revisions.
3. I need someone to do graphics for other characters like Sienna, Brooke, Julia, Sha'Carri, Gina, Jasmine, Naomi, and even the men Ethan, Zach, Nathan, John, Zane, Santi, Madison Springs Old Perv, Andres, Miguel, etc. so I can add them to the tier list.

The uncensored tier list can be found in the spoiler section below.

mnotwoke ; great job, just 2 questions at the moment,
Eyrin and Iris, are not confirmed sisters, we all suspect but there is nothing oficial, plus Iris has a crush on Eryin
and the second is Elena is not in the track team,(she is in the cheerleader squad) but it is ok, It is understandable how you grouped it.
great job Kudos.

Thank you for the suggestion and criticism.

I should make a new tier RELATIVES - UNCONFIRMED and you're right I made a mistake with putting Elena in the track team. She should be on the Cheerleader Squad with Sienna and Jasmine.

See it in the way, that each opportunity to flirt, compliment, do something fun together makes you closer and hints girl that you're into her (like in IRL). Layla is attracted to MC from the beginning (read her inner thoughts). So, giving her what he wants to get is obvious way to get on her path. Her path is probably the most natural and easygoing in terms or conditions. Just don't mess with her sister and never team with Zach. While Erynn (love path) is the most complicated one, imo. She is kinda broken and need to be fixed. Alexis is somewhere between them.

That can be one way of seeing it. Yes, i am indeed much (much) older now, be with my experiences, it felt for me like she is acting more like 14-16, even including the MC if you believe he's similar. I understand also that they HAVE to all be 18 for Patreon. One thing also that feels funny to me, as a non-American (Canada) is that you can be 18 in highschool wihtout being a repeater. I always thought of high school as the kids school, while college for the 18+. Different systems i guess, so my perception is different.

Well, 18+ wall spoils plausibility in this area sometimes a bit, but at least dev wasn't shy to show us 16yo MC having some fun in the past. Erynn tells MC that she thinks Cara is 16 or looks like. MC is at his last months at high school, he still will be 18, when he will go to the college or university. In my country you can decide if you study 9 years at school and finish it there (usually being 16yo) and then go to something like "college" or you study 11 years at school (usually being 18yo) and then go to university. I don't know the differences between university and colleges in USA, and how it grades, so I can't argue or debate here.

The overall problem is that a lot of players expects a 18-19yo MC to act like he is 25-30yo one, most of the times. Same goes for the girls. The "first time", the inexperience and the things surrounding it, kind of "childish" behaviours and that boys/girls clumsy flirt attempts and playfullness are pictured properly so rare... Players demands the alpha-male that fucking half of the campus, acts like a robot, regret nothing and clever as Einstein. What a nonsense...

You forgot to put Zane and the Redhaired girl from the restaurant, (which has a crush for Emily) for what the discusion was in the foregoing pages, they have a keyrole if you on Val path and want to help Erynn

any1 checked val's teeth lately?

On most routes this making up happens completely off screen.


I'd love some teasing and most likely it has been going on since last night lol.





For Erynn specially it makes sense for her to learn of it, she lives right there... and she probably would want to hang out after the beach, she often does that.

With Val it can be brought on with trying to set up a morning run for the next days and the MC saying he can't.





Zane's involvement has been largely fan speculation.

Zane doesn't have to be a bad guy to be a rival, it may happen simply because we are competing for the same thing... The fact that he's ex-boyfriend of a love interest does make a friendship a little more difficult, specially on this specific path.
Maybe with time we can see eye to eye, or have some level of mutual respect.

But it's also possible that he holds some resentment towards Erynn for dumping him for another guy (that's how it looks like from his perspective).



We don't have much info on that night, we don't know if it happened at his house(back then he lived with his father and his sister, could be tough to work out), maybe it was a party on Ethan's... Maybe he was searching for a good place for it and trusted the wrong guy to "help him".
We haven't met Zane yet, but Brooke seems like one of the few characters that doesn't have unlimited money, living in a small house, sharing a room with his sister and perhaps struggling to rent out a room is not too farfetched imo.

Him selling the tape for some type of profit or filming it to brag about "deflowering" Erynn are all speculation which may or may not prove true.

Look, it's true i gave up on this title and Dev LONG ago But......
When did it change to Erynn dumping Zane?
Long Ago, it was Zane dumping Erynn.

Going to Prom with Ethan instead, did not bode well with Zane.
Who in their right mind wouldn't say "Fuck This Shit"?

 

[xapican]

MrD812 ; hey bud nice to read you again, I thought Zane Erynn was all a Ethan Manouver, to humilate Erynn

Yeah, you are right now that i think about it... this thing goes for so long this shit is starting to get mixed in my brain lol.
I think she says like he didn't want anything with her anymore after she went to prom with Ethan.

And who can blame the guy? From his perspective his loving GF is looking to upgrade to the rich guy.

Well...that's...one theory....

We still need to confirm whether he knew of Ethan's plan and whether or not he was a party to it....or was just an innocent victim as well. If he is completely absolved of any wrongdoing...Zane and MC teaming up to go after Ethan could be fun (as then Ethan also has a porn video, illegally taken that could ruin his life too).

 

[MrD812]

Likewise indeed and may i suggest, thinking is over-rated!
Tend to go by what's actually written, effects efforts to comprehend more accurately.
Always more to focus on.

Exactly, having sexually advanced with the woman of Your life....
AND yet, she takes Ethan of ALL people to Prom.. Instead?!?!

Yeah, sure.
My post was on "currently available info" not including any theories that he may have teamed up with Ethan.

It will be an interesting reaction when he learns what truly transpired(assuming he doesn't know already).

Absolutely, and one can assume she probably told Zane that she didn't like the guy... then choses to go with him to prom!!!!

It probably hits Zane like a big WTF????

Yet you're not working on currently available info are you.

We don't know if he was involved or not. So anything at this point is pure theory. So therefore, how can it him like a big whatever, again, he might have been in on it. You're making a lot of 'statements' assuming he is innocent. Given all the men in the area that we meet/know, that's a loose assumption at best.

The current avaliable info are mainly Erynn's words, she doesn't say anything about suspecting that Zane was in on it, she just says they were done after she went with Ethan to prom... that is the currently available info.

Ethan also doesn't say anything that hints at teaming up and as of the last update still seems to resent Zane a bit.
Not proof, but it would be weird resenting the guy that helped you.

Again...lot of assumptions. Nothing weird about it at all, he hates anyone who is, was, will ever be close to her.

The fact is, as you mention, there is no information, no one mentions anything. Therefore, everything 'currently' (as you like to use currently available info) is theory, as there is no information either way.

Conversely, on my own logic and what is actually presented to us, name one decent guy in the VN (directly related to the story, so sorry, you can't name the bar owner)? I reserve judgement on Iris' father personally. Any others? Answers on the back of a postcard if you can.

Nyx hates men. The logic (from what we have seen, been shown and been told so far) is that Zane is not a good guy.

Yeah, sure.

To be Brutally Clear:

Married/committed wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend/sister/brother/son/daughter conducts personal intimacy act's.
IE: passionately kissing, wet/dry humping, making out with an other with or without intent.
Doesn't have to be sex to be betrayal/unfaithful and genders won't matter.

Is well known grounds to dump that person faster then a hot potato.
Several marriages have ended for less reason.
