Do you guys still thinks deaths will happen? with the Ethan stuff being wrapped up sooner I kind of get this feeling the Deaths either won't happen anymore or if they do it won't be anyone i'll lose sleep over other than maybe John

Yeah, we get so intimate with them, learn their personal issues and hopes, the game does a good job making it feel guilty for taking a clear scumbag move(like lying to Nikki), it gives me pause at times.

To do the full scumbag i need to "get in the zone" :devilish:, beforehand, full horny bro mode.


I've created a system where i just make splits, rather than doing a entirely new save.
For example i'm already planning a split on the Melissa decision, one save splits into 2.
When i play the second one i'll fast forward through a lot of things that will be similar between the versions, only Melissa-Erynn stuff will be where i slow down and pay attention.

It saves a lot of time.
it's still bad you have to do it with a game this long, yeah it may save some time, but why do I have to build a fucking spreadsheet to shave off a an hour two here and there instead of the dev properly designing her game and variables. Fuck that.

No. I think that all of that is done now with the blackmail stuff being finished soon, apart from maybe Ethan he will likely die.

Yeah I think the same and kind of will be happy if that is the case cause tbh the thought of Erynn or Valeria getting killed really sucked to think about. Like I do like it when a game has the balls to kill a LI off but man in this game would of hurt alot especially when Nyx said it won't be preventable.

We regulars would likely benefit from a safe save sharing system where we upload saves to, with people we trust. Describe what the path is and the important choices were.
I know that this is alot of unnecessary fuss, but it could give us access to paths that we may not have played yet and you only have to play maybe one or two episodes before to get caught up.
If Nyx is still determined to mess with peoples saves that is.

I don't mind sharing my saves with friends where there is mutual trust, just not publicly, because that will just encourage others to use random saves they find, and we know ren'py saves are garbage in terms of security.

tbh I kind of wish this game had a chapter select system like in Where the Heart is but coding that probably would break saves again :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

well no better time to implement it than right now :ROFLMAO: But the choice selection would take as long as actually playing a chapter even just for the major ones :ROFLMAO:

How does one achieve the secret alexis path? Everytime I try to do it, she says its me or Layla pick or we breaking up.
that's the first problem sounds like you are on the Alexis path there is a guide. but from what I recall you ignore Alexis on the Plane be friends with Erynn and on Layla's path beyond that I forget

there is a walkthrough pdf linked in the OP, follow that. But in broad terms, what Dessolos said above. You'll know you are on the right path when during the first hottub scene Lexi and Erynn show up instead of Adriana.

Anyone figured out how to get LayLena variable? I assume this would be for Layla Elena throuple possibly? I tried on Elena path where i told Layla about my feelings for Elena in ep 11 which later resulted with a Layla brakeup but made them be friends again with each other. I see this variable in this episode but i can't figure out how to get it

Be on the regular Layla path, while keeping Elena points at maximum. If the three of you are in the hot tub and the three of you start kissing then you are on it, if Elena says she will leave you to it, you're not. And don't reject Layla when she wants to sleep with you obviously.

I think that the very heavy branching in this game is it's biggest success but also it's downfall. Also a lack of forward planning when it comes to the girls and their paths "intertwining" which is obviously one of the most important parts of this VN.
I'm still not sure why exactly breaking saves is necessary this time, which makes it even worse. Iris is only a side girl and the last episode where you decide to hook up with her or not should decide your interest in her romantically.
I know that this is more complicated on the Lexi path as she won't fuck the MC, just kisses him. But that should be enough to get the ball rolling with her IMO and give her enough points.
As a much as i love several characters and mixing and matching them, this game has become too big for it's own good, too many characters, too many routes... the Intertwining is great but Nyx probably should've kept the numbers way smaller.
Characters sometimes go several updates without anything interesting happening to them(sex or storywise), because of the huge numbers she's trying to juggle.

And side characters are still getting added, Mira just had her first real scene last episode, and now we have Dani (who i definitely have the hots for don't get me wrong, but is it wise to keep bringing new girls?), Nyx is like an addict into bringing new "x-factors".

I agree with you in regards to Iris, her path works well as it is right now, if you rejected her it sends a clear message.
And if you didn't(or on Alexis combo if you kept pushing for something to happen)... it sends the opposite message.

But Nyx probably has a whole host of small changes planned, and maybe a few more that will hit her when writing the new script.
Once upon a time there were barely any hints that Erynn and Alexis knew each other before it got revealed, it was a remake that added those details, that's Nyx, that's how she works and i've made my peace.
It sucks it when it happens, again :cautious:, but i've made my peace.

Right now i'm not even trying to get my saves right for 15 because i know it will be a waste, i'm just fucking up and letting it hang out, it's kinda freeing lol.

Do Layla like you normally would, help Elena with cheer practice, watch Elena during the competition(meaning you can't fuck Gabi at the camp), do the 3 way kiss, stay with Elena at the beach... and just keep flirting with Elena, even in front of Layla.
At the hottub scene with both of them, when the kissing starts you should have the option to pull Elena in... Enjoy the show.

And most importantly, DON'T FUCKING TELL LAYLA THAT YOU LOVE ELENA.

How does one achieve the secret alexis path? Everytime I try to do it, she says its me or Layla pick or we breaking up.
Ignore Alexis completely, do Layla route like you normally would, keep your distance from Erynn(i think less than 20 Erynn points) without completely ditching her in the incident with Ethan, chose to help her.
I think that's it.

So wait, that means i have to sleep with Layla in ep 11 instead of going for Elena right? If that's the case i should be able to pull this of in one of my other playthroughs where i tried to get as many points for both Elena and Layla as possible while still remaining on Layla's path if i got that right? That's where i did all the hottub stuff with the girls
