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

[Dessolos]

If I recall correctly, Erynn told the MC that Ethan's dad scouted her and signed her.

I think she also said his dad has been nothing but nice , respectful and all around a good guy to her. So she didn't think anything of it and had no idea Ethan would be her agent and when she was gonna quit the brought up the blackmail again.

Unless I'm mistaken I might be wrong with some of the details here

Might be, my memory was a colander when I was young, now is just a blackhole.

Meanwhile I'm reminded of how I'm probably the only one in here who doesn't like her

I did before the newest update (you should try her current path btw if you haven't to see if it can change your mind too) but she's still not my favorite. I always felt she got a lot of hype I could never understand with the content she had.

 

[Mars_ixv]

I just did a Val playthrough without Gabi and Ximena recognized the MC. 100% She's Val's mom.

The new content made me feel some kind of way. He's normally a horndog that tests boundaries but he had that shit turned up to ten on his date with Val

I'll be short because I don't want to get chased away with torches and pitchforks.

The issue I had wasn't that much with her, but how she was forced onto me as a player, in my first playthrough (I only started playing this VN 2 updates ago) I had no interest in pursuing her yet, for what seemed to me like forever, she kept popping up no matter how hard I was trying to ignore her and pick negative answers.

I'll eventually try a playthrough involving her, but due to my age I tend to gravitate towards older LIs, not just in Intertwined mind you.

yeah before this update I saw Val as an overhyped pretty face now she is in my top 3.

You'll get no pitchforks from me, different stokes for different folks. I just always try to do all paths in a game, even if i'm not into them to see their story. (I hated Quinn in BAD till i tried her path) You might change your mind or maybe not.

I'm an old stubborn mule, one of my many defects, so first impressions tend to stick with me, but I'm also a bit of an OCD completionist, so I'll have to play also her route.

 

[Dessolos]

There is a bug that I dont get any Elena content in this update.

Spoiler: btw, about Yennerfer or Tris

with your MC's name that's gonna be confusing when it comes to his best friend haha.

But there is no Elena in this update just trying to make things with Layla has she gave the MC an ultimatum in the last update.

There's a very good chance, yes. Did you do a route without Val? I don't know if Ximena say the same thing regardless (if we didn't take the picture with Val, or if she didn't see MC on the side walk.

There's also a slight chance she would know MC because of Anders, because she seem to know him. But she would've probably made the connection right there "Ahh that's how I know you" (or something like that). But these characters aren't always the brightest (for the sake of writing a story with a lot of twist), so it's possible.

My money is also on Ximena-Valeria, especially since every renders of Val mom look exactly like her.

You see how many steps you have to take for it not to be Zane. Zane would have to assume he's getting lucky that night brag to a friend that he's going on a date somewhere where Ethan has to be, and buy a motel room super early ( given their age, I doubt it's an overnight stay), have Ethan use his connections to get into said motel room and set up a camera.
It makes more sense for Zane to be involved in whatever is happening. Whether or not he was a willing participant is debatable.

I think you're overthinking this. I can't remember if it's been mentioned at all, but where was the tape recorded? Did they say it was a motel room? My thought is that Ethan just happened upon it by chance - the way he was, it wouldn't surprise me if he was keeping a close eye on Erynn, potentially even stalking her. He could easily have just been outside a bedroom window filming them on his phone. I certainly don't think however it went down that there was a camera set up in advance...

Zane was definitely involved, but probably only in the sex part. It's very easy for him to have had just as much knowledge of the filming part as Erynn did.

Yeah I kind of always thought it was just a happy accident and he pulled out his phone but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was a stalker with that scene in ch 12 that shows how obsessed he is over Erynn. Tho im not convinced Zane was involved just yet. The only reason im not convinced because how he broke up with her over Prom. While that doesn't mean anything and Ethan could of lied and betrayed him if he was involved. But my gut tells me if he was involved he wouldn't of broken up with her over Prom but rather help Ethan and get a "turn" with her once in awhile.

Yeah, I definitely agree - I don't think Zane was involved (except for being the other one on the tape). I guess that he's as much a victim as Erynn, just that he's not had it used against him, and potentially doesn't even know about it at all.

Not sure how you can say that Val is "forced" on to the player, far from it IMO. To even get on to her path romantically you have to make every single positive choice with her on the training camp trip, otherwise they are just friends. Or is it that you have an issue even being friends with her?

 

[Elduriel]

I think that's what he wrote but I'm not getting it. If you're just friends with her she barely has any screentime at all, and no real exclusive scenes with her either, they are just meeting in a group setting like at school. Definitely not forced to hang out with her too much.

So now wherever they were having sex they were doing it with the shades up? Perhaps that happened, all Im saying is for that sex tape to have been made by Ethan (or his goons), a lot of things out of the ordinary had to go right.

But my gut tells me if he was involved he wouldn't of broken up with her over Prom but help Ethan and get a "turn" with her once in awhile.

If he got what he wanted from her, he could've easily used the prom excuse to break up with her without seeming like the bad guy.

I think an important detail is that Ethan has "a guy" in addition to his basic minions.
Just like in this latest episode where Zach tells Ethan who John actually is and he makes a call to his guy to get John's info.
Previously he made the same call for "Kyle Johnson" but hit nothing.

A person like that is perfectly suited to find out where they were headed and film everything, have him tail them both, find out the places Zane could've taken her, if he recently has made hotel reservations...
All this without Ethan even needing to get his hands dirty.

If he got what he wanted from her, he could've easily used the prom excuse to break up with her without seeming like the bad guy.

This bit could be true, but given other things i don't think things are leaning this way.

Agree, to get with her you have to ignore one of the characters that got most early content in Layla.
When she actually starts screen time in the training camp(she just has a couple of cameos before) players might be already heavily invested into Layla(i know i was).

You missed that Alexis and MC using "coffee" as a code for being horny and having sex?

Erm, maybe I misunderstood, but did you call me Nyx? Well, thank you, I really like her work and I think she's great, but I'm not Nyx.


How would Nikki/Cara find that out? Mira is in Alvarado, Nikki/Cara in Riverside. A two hours drive away. They don't know Mira.
Yeah, but that's her problem, not ours. See, Nyx just made a release with 7200 renders made in 10 months with a playtime for hours, when you play it properly. Show me another dev using ONE system for coding, posing, and rendering with that output in that time. Personally I think we as players have nothing to complain about.
Exactly. This game is good because of all the little things.

It’s even more impressive how she keeps such an intertwined story, so diverse and coherent. With different reactions to so many different variations of events.

I’ve only seen a minor slip up like Alexis saying she “unfortunately” knows the MC with the Lakeyn restaurant scene. When she shouldn’t say that. (Or acted amicably in the scene just before that)

keeping track of all that can’t be easy. And many devs struggle with just that. Yet Nyx is doing it at a scale and width we don’t see in any other game.
