VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.14.1] [Nyx]

[IHATESlowburnBluBallgames]

I always help Erynn but damn I'm tempted not too just to piss of Alexis. I seem to be on the outer but I not an Alexis fan. Layla and her mom are soooooo much better.

You can have Layla and I’ll take her mom, we can double date

 

[IHATESlowburnBluBallgames]

Speaking of where the story takes place—it’s a little odd because the large Hispanic population of the game implies it’s in the States, but it’s clearly not, because (a) the drinking age in the States is 21, not 18; and (b) the Canadian spellings of English words.

The drinking age in Mexico is 18, but of course they primarily speak Spanish there, not English; and Mexico’s English-speakers use the American spellings you know.

So that’d put it in Quebec… but (a) it’s constantly said to be very hot there, yet Quebec’s beaches are ridiculously cold, even in summer; and (b) Emily speaks French, which is treated as a rarity, which isn’t a rarity at all in Quebec.

So that’d put it in Australia… but (a) all the cars in the game have left-side drivers, and (b) where’d the large Hispanic population come from?

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.

Guess we’re stuck with a fictional universe. Which is fine; it solves the whole legality of the soon-coming or soon-to-be-revealed incestuous relationships in the game.

I always got the vibe that they live somewhere like Miami Florida, cause I’ve been there once and almost everybody talks Spanish, even the atm machines in the bar said press 1 for Spanish and 2 for English

 

[IHATESlowburnBluBallgames]

I am out of reactions for the day. I heartily agree.

This is the VN I keep coming back to for the stirring up of emotions.

Never shed a tear to this game but “acting lessons” game had me reaching for a tissue

I also have a few games made me reach for a tissue.

 

[Dessolos]

it's not just about shedding a tear but there some games that some of the characters make me feel some emotions that I dont get to often from others. To the point after playing them it makes me think about them quite a bit for awhile. Even some characters i think about on and off months after playing. Only a handful of games get a reaction like that from me id say it's only like 10 or so. This is one of them tho with this game I say I think about this one quite more often than the others only like 1 or 2 others are on my mind just as much as this game is.

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.

yea she keeps her mascara on on many situations.

 

[LSC82]

Exact opposite of me tbh, I was lying, cheating, bullying, manipulating piece of shit. Never forgive, never forget, be petty, be vindictive. That cost me dearly too. I broke the heart of someone dear to me, when I saw the sadness in her eyes something changed in me. I try to be a better person. So even if he needs to be change, I think he should not lose the part makes him a good person.

That's why, I think I had hard time to accept Erynn or any other character who cheats.

I too was very "i'll take this to the grave" when i was younger, even to perceived slights that weren't really meant to offend me, now i'm a lot more "what's the point in holding on to this grudge", obviously i still have limits, nobody is perfect lol.

And ironically that's one of the things that drew me to Erynn, i saw a person that reaaaaally wanted to reconnect with our MC, fully comitted to trying again with him.
There's nothing harder than trying to reconnect with someone that just wants to stay away from you(even with a person that wants to vent their "disagreements" it's easier), so i really appreciate how much she wanted reconnect.

Plus as it turns out the whole situation is a big misunderstanding that our guy majorly contributed.

fail to see whats wrong with it!

nothing but would be better to wake up next of girl not looking like alice cooper.

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.)

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.

very few games happen in real world city/country.

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

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.

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.
