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

[Martin_S7]

For the wait is only painful the first few months after playing an update then I start to not think about the game so much anymore

For me, this type of game with a great story feels a lot like a TV series. You finish a season, and then you’re left with a few days of not knowing what to do or watch XD

I think next month. considering Nyx said she should be done with the final scenes this week and just basically has to do touch up and coding and testing

I don't know if I misunderstood, but she said that only the 3D scenes in Daz are ready; rendering is still pending. Depending on how many renders she completes per day, it could take more than a month to do 7,000.

EDIT: Reading it again, it's just a few renders that she will redo.

Finished the last Alexis scene for this update, also finished the first of the 2 scenes for Layla. Only 2 scenes left to do. Both scenes will be very short and I expect to finish all scenes/renders this week. I might have to redo a few, but I know more once I start with the post-render work. There are a few scenes I want to "redo" or rather improve but I'll leave that for another time.

Once all renders are done, I start with the post-render process. Meaning fixing some inconsistencies like clothes that are clipping into the skin, lighting,...

The total renders (Everything included) is over 7000. So, I don't know how long that will take me.
At the same time, I will start coding everything, there's a lot of script and with all the different paths, it will also take some time. Adding some sound files, main menu song,...

Then there's the spelling check, also correcting some mistakes in previous episodes. And testing all the routes, of course. Still quite some stuff to do.

About the remake of episode 3. I'm not completely done yet with that and I'm not sure if I'm able to finish before I'm done with episode 13. Episode 3 consists of 2 days, so I'll probably only add the first day since that one is finished. The second day will be for the next update.

Once I have a better idea of how long it will take to finish everything, I'll give an ETA. The only thing I'll say is it will be released before GTA 6!

Man the progress with Elena is being held back a lot... The buildup to the eventual union should have started now...

Really glad she decided to do one big update rather than split it into 2 looks late December I hope

 

[hakuna-matata]

At least 6500 renders better be dedicated to the vicious murder of Ethan and Zach.

Sounds like theres not much layla next update

she had her big scenes two updates ago. She'll still have some content as in the resolution(?) of the Elena fiasco if you went that way. We'll get more of Erynn, Val (I think), Cara/Nikki. Those should be the bigger ones. Maybe some others show up for a short scene. Oh of course and the resolution of the cliffhanger. Next update is back to school so I'd imagine we'll get some very interesting Layla/Elena content there.

holy shit 7000 renders I did not expect that looks like devs are competing for who can do the most renders in a single update this year

Pound for pound Nyx beats DPC I'd imagine. I haven't done the math, but she isn't bogged down with minigames, freeroams, 60 fps animations etc., so we get a higher number of meaningful renders instead. I much prefer this.

I did the Maths at the start of the year in an off-topic thread. As we don't have render numbers for eps 8, 9 and 10 for this game it did require some guesswork:

So if we assume a rising scale from the 1000 for ep 7 to 3500 for ep 11 she probably averaged 2500 for those 4 eps so 10k altogether, while in the longer timeframe (6 months longer) DPC had three full 5k eps + interlude (less than 1k renders for interlude) and Digi B has 3 updates of 5k in a slightly longer time (3 months longer). Part time dev certainly appears to be outworking the full time devs with better rigs.

of course we do, the images are in the game folder From episode 8:
EP8: 3518
EP9: 2034
EP10: 2889
EP11: 3554
EP12: 1464

That's why I give more props to Nyx. One pc and a full time job, while homie looks to enhance beer bottles in order to inflate the development.

Over 7k renders! Damn Nyx has been working hard on this. As much as I would love to see this release next month, I wouldn't blame her if she decides to take a break over Christmas and release it in the new year.

I'm sure we'll get it before Christmas. Nyx' a maniac.

depends how much post work needs to be done on the renders. I'd imagine if they mostly came out well then we will have it this year. It's still a lot of images to sort through, so could go either way. I wouldn't mind an update around the holidays.

 

[anonnyscouse]

EP8: 3518
EP9: 2034
EP10: 2889
EP11: 3554
EP12: 1464

So around 2600 renders per ep, not far from my guess of 2500 render average and pushes her closer to the numbers of the fulltime devs with better rigs.

I am TERRIFIED the remake of Ch3 means the saves will no longer work.

It takes almost 30 mins to ctrl-skip the game start to finish for a single route, and it's quite easy to screw a route with a single wrong choice. And I just did it for the last update

thanks for the reminder when I redo and actually organize them this time I need to make a spreadsheet of my choices lol

 

[LSC82]

Sounds like theres not much layla next update

Layla is gonna have one scene for when you are on her path and a (presumably shorter)scene for when you are fucking asshole and breaks her heart(also known as Elena path), obviously you won't be able to see both scenes with the same save.

Since Nyx said the scene she still needs to render is fairly short i suspect it's the one from heartless jackass/Elena path, the proper Layla scene is already complete (not counting retouches).

This episode will have 3 days.
Day 1 dedicated to either Erynn or Val.
Day 2 Cara/Nikki (or "bro day" with Nathan if you have neither).
Day 3 Alexis, Layla and a little bit more Erynn.

It's not gonna be super Layla heavy, but she's getting something, first time you see her after "cherry picking" so it should be nice.

of course we do, the images are in the game folder From episode 8:
EP8: 3518
EP9: 2034
EP10: 2889
EP11: 3554
EP12: 1464

Twice the size of the biggest episode is indeed really good.

let's hope not.

let's hope not.

oh I mean im re doing my saves no matter what not if they break

i'm sure of that.

 

[MagicMan753]

7k renders sounds like a lot but doesn't nyx do animations differently than other devs, so I think animations are counted in those 7k renders. So people shouldn't expect a super long update of actually 7k renders if this is the case and I remembered right.
