VN Ren'Py Completed Bare Witness [Steam Build] [AlterWorlds]

[TonyMurray]

Agreed Athena is awesome. I like how they didn't go too far with the hard exterior with her, as so often happens with the goth looking type girls. She actually opens up quite quickly all things considered and is also one of my favourites.

Yeah absolutely. She ended up being a really great character.

Did they change the music in this?
I remember some songs from older versions that seem to be gone

Copyright stuff I'm guessing?

Well, I played almost all paths now, the only exception being the HAM path, but i did the MASH so IDK if it is worth going HAM. Only thing I would like to say is that at the end, the most wholesome path for me was Valeria's path.
But my only complain with that awesome path where she, as a main LI character kills it IMO, is that their daughter Shelby is way too small in some scenes. The DAZ model used was not correctly scaled for the suppposed age of a 2/3 year old girl and it looks sometimes ridiculous like at their wedding how disproportionate is when seen together with other characters. That should have been pointed out at least by the testers during development.

Yeah, she just offered something a little different, and it upped her appeal.

Like here (on topic again!), Athena isn't really my type, she's too tattooed, but I love her personality and when she blushes, it's just adorable, and that's why she makes the cut (same with Roxy).

Speaking of Athena, a fun alt-universe cameo popped up in another game I really like (Origin Story Ch 8). Thought some might appreciate it.

She's quite cute as a sexy librarian.

As has been discussed in this thread extensively, and also on Discord, DAZ children assets are terrible and there is no fixing them. The devs used what was available to them.

Your assumption that it wasn't mentioned is gravely mistaken. Much whining took place.

I'd have included another render too, showing off her power

I liked her inclusion (and I hope we see her again, with Emerald getting her wish), but I can't even see her as an alt-world Athena without the tattoos (and with the different hair). She's hot, it's just that she's not "our" Thena (I was going to say even down to not liking that shortened version of her name, but now I'm thinking I can't remember if "our" Thena did either, I'm sure I remember it being used, but I didn't get any results in a quick search of the BW scripts for " thena" with the space before...).

Heidi uses it a lot, and MC a few times.

Ah, it does have the apostrophe, that's why it didn't come up in my search results. I was certain I remembered it being used quite a bit, but then doubted myself.

I had the same reaction ... I felt stupid when I saw someone point it out, but you're right. Even knowing, she still barely looks like BW's Athena. She also doesn't have the same facial makeup, which is another factor in not recognizing her ...

Might as well wait and see how the BW devs themselves pull it out on Heaven's Door, since they mentioned that BW characters will appear in HD as cameos.

I have a feeling all those differences were very intentional in order to make it super obvious she's an alternate universe Athena and not Athena prime. Considering with certain choices it's Emerald tries to hook up with her, it's probably to reduce the risk of people saying she's NTRing BW MC or something.

One of the girls (I think it was Kalli) has the same surname as Athena, so there's a likely link there.

I mean, that's basically their mantra ... all the characters in each game exist in the alternate worlds that the other games will be, whether we see them or not.

The name of their game studio is AlterWorlds after all.

paying this game for the first time (mainly blind), ended up on the fifthsome path. probably was a mistake, as there is no way in hell any other path can stand up to it

They are all well worth a try at some point. The Valeria one is my personal favourite.

yeah, that's my most anticipated one next. will have to take a big break first though, otherwise it simply wont feel like enough

edit: heidi best girl, her personality really ties the fifthsome together
