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

[M I N T]

Does anybody know how much of an update episode 13 is? I'm trying to look for the specific details on the thread but no dice

This AVN is really showing why heavy branching is something you should avoid as a solo developer.

I spent all day yesterday going through the different routes for the last two "episodes" and despite having that much time to get through it, barely anything happened.

There's no doubt Nyx works her ass off to produce this much playtime (even control skipping through read lines), but it's always like a puddle the width of a lake, rather than a puddle as deep as a lake.

Everything is so horizontal when it comes to progress through the narrative, it just feels a let down every time. We never go anywhere. It's like a little shuffle forward each time.

I like Eternum, or Superhuman's way of handling these problems. They tie plot progression with the LIs, and you can choose to be in or not be in x route.

I have only one Cara save for completionist sake, I've seen people talk about Nikki and Cara moving to town, it might be worth putting in some Cara + another girl saves to see how that plays out and how she tries to fight for MC, we already know how Nikki will.

I am on Cara's route and also dating Layla, so far they don't seem to know about each other, yet. But its bound to be a shitstorm at some point, maybe as soon as the next update

Be the scum of the scum. Choose the choose scumiest possible decisions, you know... for drama. Watch the world burn. I am pretty sure by the end of the game, MC will be shot by a mob of angry women or one of them will Lorena Bobbit him.

Yes.... But have I seen all the scenes by then?

 

[Adhdclassic]

Got 2 questions?
1.Did the Val saving MC from Ethan always exist?
2. What was the relevance of adding the female friend when he went to Alvarado?

 

[LoGyMW]

You can't see all scenes in one playthrough because certain girls can find out about each other during the game unless you somehow manage to avoid it. Still sadly no you can't see all scenes because in some cases you have to chose between two girls, say Alexis or Layla, Layla or her friend (forgot her name), Cara or her sister etc. There is a ton of branching in this game which makes it impossible to see it all in one playthrough sadly no matter what choices you have made. IMO it's not a great way to make a VN but i guess it does allow for more replayability and some prefer it that way

 

[LoGyMW]

It was s surprising update for me. Haley (Mom of Nikki) Fucking Mike(Coach) and Emily fucking Iris Dad. Adding spicy touch to the story.

Dude, imagine if you can get to a point where you end up back with Iris and her dad and Emily were to marry. You would end up with your step-sister. Not sure if you can even get back with Iris yet though. Potential for drama is cooking for sure.

 

[LoGyMW]

Yeah because Cara is the worst of the two sisters.

Im dating Cara while also dating Layla on my current playthrough. One girl per city i say. Cara is pretty lovely and IMO she's probably the hottest girl in the game to me, but then again im heavy into redheads so this may be just me. But now Cara moved to my current city as well so this is bound to blow up in my face

what about Lexi in the red wig but funny enough on my first playthrough I was most interested in Cara at first cause I thought she was hot cute + redhead. eventually I did change my mind for Erynn but after many more playthroughs later she is Cara is just cute and not hot to me.

Thus far the sisters from Riverside were easy to keep problem free with other girls, they were all the way on the other side of the country and nearly impossible for anyone to find out about them(Erynn still managed to meet them and Layla caught a glimpse).
Now they are scheduled to move into town and start creating trouble for the other routes .

I don't think it will be the very next update because they are only coming on the weekend, we have 5 days of the week to go through first.
Once they arrive it becomes much more complex since they think they have GF status, will be hard going on parties and not bring your "GF" along.

The biggest one yet, and the best one (personal opinion).
Lots of good development for several characters, sets up lots of future events.

 

[newdawn75]

If I'm on the erynn path wouldn't it be wise to not have emily and john hook up?

 

[anonnyscouse]

2. What was the relevance of adding the female friend when he went to Alvarado?

1. If you're on her path then yes, on any other path it was John who intervened.
2. Probably to add content during the trip for anyone not on either Nikki or Cara paths.

 

[Adhdclassic]

Last question. Is this a glitch?
I was on the cara path after his father incident you call and she tells you don't call here again. So I am under the assumption that arc is over. Then when you go to Alvarado and meet them in the airport it was like nothing happened.

Less drama probably when Mel and Emily find out John is actually Mel's John and Erynn's father. Besides Mommy Brooke is a good option for Emily. Tho I don't think John dating Emily is a bad thing either as there was never any bad intentions behind it just be a little less messy for Mel and Emily but I don't think it would make things any worst for Erynn and MC's relationship. As Erynn likes Emily and knows she would never do something like that on purpose.

 

[hakuna-matata]

Yes.... But have I seen all the scenes by then?

Don't be a noob, have multiple saves.

Perhaps, if they were get married it would present a problem...

 

[Vinho49]

Still got a few more paths to check out while not bad the Nikki path is my least favorite path ive played so far. But I imagine it will still be better than Cara and Layla once I play those saves

Did your path with Nikki have any mistakes?

Especially when the MC visits Nathan there is a choice between friendship with Mira or interest in her, here in my opinion both choices are the same, sex with Mira and the MC goes back to the airport instead of going back to Nikki

I did play a solo Nikki path but I only tested out the Mira sex scene on the Cara path and on one where you just visit Nathan and none of the sisters. but didn't see any mistakes

 

[Vinho49]

In my save, the MC returns home and still finds Nikki and Cara at the airport and they talk as if they were nothing to each other and he leaves.
