VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.13.2] [Nyx]

[Elduriel]

Regardless, our high schoolers can’t just go into a bar and have a few beers after school. Nor casually order wine with dinner. Not till your third year of college, for most of us; for those who don’t have fake ID at least. It’s an obvious sign this story doesn’t take place anywhere in the United States. Maybe the U.S. in a parallel universe, but certainly not this one.

yeah the whole setup seems pretty US based... lot of latin american and black characters but then you have drinking stuff at 18 which just doesn't mesh with that whole scenario... so yeah, let's go with alternate universe, doesn't bother me much tbh

 

[Canto Forte]

I live in California, and just about every town south of Chico has a few neighborhoods which are predominantly Spanish-speaking. It’s why my parents put me in a Spanish immersion school in 3rd grade; they wanted me bilingual, because that’s just where we live and how things are.

I keep having to remind certain Republican pendejos this state used to be Mexico—these people were here before California joined the Union, and telling them to “go back to where you’re from” is just as stupid as telling American Indians the same thing. Not that it stops them. (And yes, not all Republicans are that way; I know plenty. But way too many are.)

Well .. to be fair .. Hollywood has a pet peeve for underage girls using fake IDs.
Bar Rescue John Taffer had real run ins with bartenders who would pour unending streaks of drinks to pretty young girls, underage or otherwise, with the most cringe dialogue ever,
but all girls put up with assholes if they get free drinks
- the owners would even go against Taffer and keep the asshole barman who was literally pissing the proffit away as they still considered him a pretty boy with a big Twitter following who was bringing girls into the bar: actual owners being happy to get girls by the truckload in their bar, oblivious or not about the fact they have to attract paying male customers too, or else they go outta business.

Bars near campus are very happy to welcome girls and their checks are a joke for fake IDs -you could simply open the tubes and search for all the Rappers or singers or what not going catfishing for young girls all the while putting all the blame on the underage girls they would hook up with in clubs and bars, forgetting the fact they play about all that BS and make money off of the same BS, so them partaking in the BS because - the bouncer should have checked the girl for being underage - a load of BS - this is why games are such a thrill all over the world - musicians and movie starts and many basketball or football starts like shady places where underage girls are let in so they can then blame the girls or the owners about their mishaps.

Easily Gabi style, I'm a sucker for the posh-spice long/angled bob.

If the MC went to Erynn’s instead of taking the train home from the club, and fell asleep on her bed, here’s what he woke up to.

My knee-jerk reaction:

View attachment 3245372

Girl’s not looking her best. But she cleans up nicely though.

Erynn's always purdy, but devs/asset creators really need to chill on the glossy spec everywhere. If she's wearing fresh gloss that makes sense, but even tongues aren't shiny smooth.

I always assumed it was some urbanized city in Spain, the dev definitely seems Spanish- so year I'd say you're close, it's a 20s-30s urban spanish person's idea of an american 90210-high school type setting.

 

[Jacowboy]

I know, I know; Nyx is Spanish. But Spain doesn’t work either, because (a) the country they live in has multiple time zones, and Spain only has one; plus (b) same as Mexico, English isn’t the usual first language there.

Eh, I'm pretty sure Nyx is dutch... I don't remember which country exactly, but not a spanish-speaking one.

Either way, it's probably a fictional place... although the most fitting would probably be Puerto Rico, where the drinking age IS 18, but most people speak spanish there. It could also be the Virgin Islands, I guess =P

 

[soprano31]

I'm European and we learn British English at school (at least I did) and that's why I use it. Nothing to do with setting.
I didn't switch to it. It just happened that I had a few words spelt the American way instead of the British and changed it to make it conform.

Eh, I'm pretty sure Nyx is swedish or norwegian or something like that... don't remember which country exactly, but not a spanish-speaking one.

[Jacowboy]

yeah I edited my post, I remembered she was dutch from what I heard... not sure a 100% tho, but anyways... not a native spanish speaker... or english for that matter, that much is certain.

First of all. Happy belated 2024!

I've finished all the renders I had to redo due to the problems I had I mentioned last progress update. I'm not quite happy with those renders since I had to change some things. I looked for different assets, but didn't find something suitable and I didn't want to waste more time on that scene. I will be redoing them in the future once I find an asset I'm happy with. It concerns a scene where MC isn't directly involved, so I also kept the scene a little shorter and only showed the important parts. So it's more like a synopsis than a full scene. But it works for now.

I'm working on the very last renders to conclude that scene, it will take me 2-3 days to finish it up. After that, I'll start working on the last scene for this update. As I mentioned before, it will only be a part of the full scene which will continue in episode 12 (which will be the end of spring break. Friday->Sunday.)
I still have most of the coding to do, and lots of post-render work since there are many clipping issues.

We're almost there.

 

[D2M3]

I haven't gone that far. I'm still very laid back and easy going, I just don't let people disrespect me like I use too. It looks like we both got wiser with age.


One of the reasons I love VNs with good stories. They can really stir up a lot of good strong emotions and experiences, but the trade off is they can occasionally stir up the bad ones too. Its worth it though especially when you get a good VN like this one.

I like this VN not because it has the best story or consistency... But it has good flow. Humor is okay, characters are mostly likeable. It has a lot of weak points, but you can ignore them.
The MC reminds me a lot of my childhood friend. He was a super friendly, good natured funny guy... With the side effect being that he was a flighty boyfriend that both liked and charmed girls easily, and with multiple ones at the same time. I even got to saw the fallout of one his mishaps in freshman uni year, and made fun of to the end.

He passed away a few years back, so I like this MC a lot, especially when he struggles between multiple girls, simply because it makes me nostalgic.

A VN like this doesnt have to be perfect, it really only needs to just coherent enough with okay story flow.

Well said but id like to add on for me it's just really fun and enjoyable and I feel like this game has a nice balance of drama, with it being serious , funny or just about having a good time as well as building relationships. It's also refreshing to see relationship that feel like they can be somewhat realistic and they aren't easy or fast to the lewds as well. ( Expect for Alexis's + Nikki and Cara lewds) Honestly this game has some kind of charm that I can't really put into words but I just like it alot.

True. VNs have their limitations and you have to make allowances for that. Its just a reality of the genre. I have three criteria I look for in VN stories:

1. The story needs to make sense,
2. There needs to be consequences/ramifications if my MC gets attack/disrespected/betrayed/etc,
3. I want to be in the driver seat making the big decisions.

Quantity of choices is not as important to me as the making the main decisions.

Ginger Ale or Coke?

 

[Grumpy Old Aussie]

Ginger Ale or Coke?

Always coke, I can't stand ginger anything.

 

[Pantic_10]

Does anyone have the version of intertwined v0.10.2 to be able to play it in Spanish?

?

 

[Pantic_10]

I get an error in the image...because the version is not the same

 

[cxx]

Always coke, I can't stand ginger anything.

not even redheads?

I get an error in the image...because the version is not the same

well naturally cause that is meant for version 0.9.2 and current version after remake is 0.11.2.

if you want updated spanish translation then you can request it on mods----->translation mods.

 

[Grumpy Old Aussie]

not even redheads?

Ugh I'm old and sick. I didn't see that one. I love those gingers

 

[ReallyNotTimmy]

Always coke, I can't stand ginger anything.

Whereas I love me some ginger ale, gingerbread, and cute freckled redheads.

So which one is the best Alexis

Definitely redheaded Alexis. Although Wonder Woman Alexis would’ve beaten her had she been in the Lynda Carter costume instead of the Gal Gadot costume. (Also love me some Lynda Carter. The woman’s in her 70s and still hot.)

Did you go to Morehead State University? One of my roommates had that happen and blow up in his face his freshman year.

After it took me several attempts to get into the "Alexis Secret Path", I have to say that I like this Alexis a lot better than the "normal" one.

It remains to be hoped that this path does not remain a dead end. It's very interesting to see how the story continues.

would you say the Secret path is worth playing right now then, I haven't tried it yet as I heard some people felt like it lacked content or is just getting off the ground. Just curious never got around to yet to form an opinion since all my saves are a mess and need to redo all of them at some point.
