VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.13.1] [Nyx]

[jllkfsdj]

I want to give you my 2 cents about all these fightings that Nyx is throwing at us.

But, first, I'd like to say that the dumbest main character in games I ever played (mainstream games included) was Carl Johnson AKA CJ from GTA: San Andreas. Not any more. NyxValeria's MC is by far the dumbest.

Back to fightings, which are totally unrealistic and serves for the pupose of story/drama only. There's no point in trying to find out any logic in those fighting scenes. No scars, no broken ribs/jaws/fingers, no internal bleedings, no concussions, no blood, no days spent in hospital... All looks like Tom & Jerry Show. On top of that we have sort of the divine intervetion in that back alley brawling. Not John, nor Valeria have place in that fight. Zach and MC came there by car, so no chance to put John, or Valeria in that alley. That's the bad writing, but some/most of you are so hyped about it, WTF

Hey hey hey! Stop dissing CJ! He was just a gang-banger, didn't even finish elementary school and was raised to think small and to believe nothing is more important than The Hood/Street and their fights with Ballas! Can't really expect great philosophical works from someone like that.

Honestly, yeah, John/Val appearance was a weak point of the story, John could've been passing by and saw MC there (John wouldn't be afraid to go into a bad part of town), but Val?

But tbf, even if bad writing, it's still not bad to the level of shit-tastic as GRRM and his famous series...

lmfao now I'm imaging MC and John dressed up as grove street members with a Uzi and Ethan and Zack dressed up as ballers at grove street of course.

I fucking loved that game, still consider it the best of the series. I also loved it's unburdened social commentary, they roasted EVERYONE, instead of every GTA game after that managed to be biased at times (4 being perhaps the worst offender), plus the multitude of memes it spawned. <3 Good times.

Perfect thanks. There is a release date for épisode 12 ?

There wont be a date for awhile tho it looks like it's progressing at a decent pace. My best guess would late Feb or March at the earliest. Tho could be done way earlier as the dev said it was gonna be a shorter update however from the last update that was posted looks like there is still a few big scenes needed to be done after the current one is finished up.

 

[nbkdelta1]

so is there a way to get everyone or not

 

[Dessolos]

nope you will get burned. You might be able to play the field a little bit if making the right choices but will eventually get dumped. Like with Erynn and Alexis if you decide to go with Layla to train you can avoid getting dumped for how long who knows.

 

[LSC82]

Yeah if it has to do with Erynn kind of scared what it could be just hope it isnt the last scene that ends on a cliffhanger haha.

Suppousedly someone relating to the MC what happened is still a possibility rather than simply a scene where we aren't involved.
Erynn has another fashion event coming up, and when asked if we should accompany her to it she said "it's gonna be fine" which gave me... a famous last words vibe.

I'm having to redo my saves and playing through i noticed this.
After the Ethan fight, you and Valeria sneak to this alley(suppousedly nearby)...


And later Rachel is found here.


The angle is different, one is inside looking out, the other is outside looking in... details don't quite match(one has more plants the other more graffiti) but the dumpster is the same.

Does this tell us something about Ethan being involved in Rachel's murder? Probably not, but...

Nah, assets get reused and are often too difficult to modify. It would be great if they were released with multiple skins or graffiti on/off. But most PAs don't put that much work into them.

 

[Grumpy Old Aussie]

I get that when I first played I was kind of hoping he would of gone to Alexis for help or advise before John showed up since she would help without question. Especially because I got the impressions the MC would have no idea how to even help. Since at that point he didnt want to involve the parents since he wants Erynn to be the one to let them know. While telling Alexis would be breaking her trust i feel she would forgive / be understanding of it.

Yeah I am struggling with working out how far I can push the different paths. I want to explore them but not jeopardize the primary relationship I want at the same time.

Nothing comes of it in the game so I assumed that as well.

well can fuck/kiss all the girls at same time but sooner or later it'll backfire like moore sisters come knocking on mc's door and tell him to go to deepest pit in hell.

Not gonna lie same here but after I read the next update is gonna be a story update and potentially have a scene where it doesn't involve the MC actually fucken scares me for her saftey. As well as the phone call she got at the end of her path gave me a bad feeling. It was enough I would 1/2 consider skipping the next update to wait for the one after as if it something does happen would suck to leave it at a cliffhanger as I think about this game too much at times and probably me on my mind alot but nah I love this game to much.

The phone call gave me the impression it was about her investigation on her dad.
She was talking to a person she doesn't know intimately/personally but the call didn't surprise her.
And she needed to send something back that she already had in her laptop.

She could've just asked me, i can tell her who her dad is lol.

Even with that i can't shake the uneasiness on that, "do you want me to come with? Nah i'll be fine", too many times this was used to setup something bad happening...
And as you say leaving a cliffhanger would be worst thing possible.
It felt bad when the main suspect for dumpster girl was Erynn.

One can only hope, eh?

 

[Regularus]

So who killed Rachel ?

I don't think it's related to Ethan's gang because so far there's no obvious link between Rachel and the modelling/escorting prostitution rings that Ethan is running.
Especially as Rachel is wrote as a slut that will just fuck everything that moves without a need to get money out of it (and so without needing to enter Ethan's circles).

I think the murder may be more related to Brooke, the woman that always creepily lust over the MC mother, especially as there was absolutely no reason that during one of her dialogues, Brooke would "joke" to the MC about Rachel and the dumpster before the corpse discovery if she had nothing to do with it, if it was only a red herring, it would be a bit too ridiculously cartoony .
But even if she is involved that does not mean she is the murderer, she could be part of something else or paid someone to do it as we know nothing about her after all or what she has to do with Rachel (did she saw Rachel as a threat, or did she wanted to make her pay for wasting the MC mother time or putting more difficulty to the mother restaurant budget with the firing of many of the workers ?).

And as said Rachel is wrote as a complete slut that will fuck everything, so it could be just a bad random encounter that comes with the lifestyle, not necessarly related to anything that is currently going on, as murderers and other similar piece of shits do not require to be already part of the plot to exist, that could be a character that hasn't yet be introduced in the MC story.

I wonder if the restaurant scene of the next update in which the MC isn't present is related to Brooke shenanigans, or if it is for a date between John and the MC mother (as you can get the MC to accept his mother dating John), i also wonder when the reveal about Erynn beings John's daughter will happen. Probably shortly before the corpse of Ethan is discovered in a garbage dump near some motorcycle tracks

I think Ethan works specifically because the Rachel murder happens right after he gets beat up, so he's guaranteed to be a little stressed and angry.
And like i said before in this thread, the guy has a huge obsession with Erynn... and when you can't get Erynn who would pass for a nice substitute? A girl who is blonde, tall and slender like Rachel.

He's also the type of guy who has access to back entrances of clubs, due to connections, money and his job.
When Erynn wasn't doing her job well, he took her into an alley to scold her.

And even sluts sometimes have standards, Rachel is a slut but she might not want to have sex in a dirty alley.

I think the Brooke thing is a red-herring, just to tease people.

In real life the most likely thing would be some random person we don't know killed Rachel, but this is a game, a game that tends to "intertwine" things, the investigation of the murder is being teased... so i expect it to be someone we know.

 

[Dessolos]

If not Ethan my second guess would be Layla's ex forget his named ( the one that sucker punched the MC) from the limited amount of time we see him he seems more unstable than Ethan. I got nothing to back it up other than a feeling. Tho I would not be surprised if it is a character we haven't seen yet and he is going to be involved with the Erynn stuff later.
