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

I agree. What's more, all those music licenses are unnecessarily expensive, and with that money she can buy some rare assets for our girls' clothes or something. And free music... well... I think it will only make the atmosphere here worse, it's more like an annoying background.

Respectfully disagree. I mean you are correct- I'm aware they're quite expensive - licensing audio is often way more than licensing video or other media... but as I've lobbied for in the past; don't underestimate the impact a fitting soundtrack has on the overall game. BaD, LoF, COBD, and others have their success in no small part to their soundtracks. Without sound games can end up feeling lifeless, even with the most gorgeous artwork, it feels kinda robotic.

And as for the setting dictating an audio style - that's up to the dev/artist to determine; often the audio style determines while the setting follows. The game could certainly feel very different given two different soundtracks.

As mentioned above, in intertwined no specific or rare setting, which should be supplemented with appropriate music (such as desert stalker or cobd).And this game has found success even without music after all.
Well, the music tends to strongly influence and associate it when you first play the game and hear this music. Old players of this game will not have that ( as for example The Friday Prophets are associated with being a dik ..etc)
But you're right in that the music gives the game more of a sense of life. I guess some sort of balance is important and my approach was purely rational, which isn't always true either. Maybe she'll find a couple of tracks that are very fitting. We'll see.

they don't need clothes more than bikinis/lingeries.

I mean it's not like the setting/atmosphere of the game favors a specific type of music, like Cyberpunk and Synthwave or something. You can use a standard pop playlist and it fits. I'd rather the dev focuses on moving the plot forward and not spend time handpicking songs.

As for other sound sfx, would be nice I guess but not really a priority either imo.

you play this with backstreet boys in the background, admit it

Guilty. I want it thaaat way.

Actually you could do far worse than a 90s pop ballad medley, given the general 90210-aesthetic of intertwined...

90210

that is a lot of girls! .... back to the 90s!

Whether or not the music contributes to the VN depends largely on the skill of the creator. Just like scoring a movie then need to know what scenes need musical accompaniment and which scenes need to be silent. Having the same musical loop going the entire game like you are playing Super Mario Brothers is unlikely to add much to the story no matter how much it slaps. However, even a song that isn't that good can add to a scene if it is used judiciously. I absolutely hate that "Tricky" song from "Being a Dik" but in the scene at the library where you have to choose between two girls I'm forced to admit that it is affecting and that it fits the emotion of the scene. At the end of Acting Lessons when Red Is The Rose started playing I was incredulous, but the Irishman within me couldn't help but tear up a bit and have a craving for some whiskey. All this being said, some people will always have a preference for playing a VN in silent mode and scoring the game is probably wasted on them. Fortunately, Renpy is designed to accommodate them.

wish there was an easter egg that if you punch him a 1000 times Intertwined becomes a harem type game so you don't need so many saves

Correct, because music is a crutch for VNs, just like high-quality graphics in PC games in general are. If a game is good, it can be ugly as shit, but it'll still be fun. In a VN, if the writer is trying to impart certain feelings, that should be supported by the writing, without needing any music to try and shift my mood for it. I rank it just above laugh tracks in obnoxious wasted effort. If you have to tell me something was funny, it wasn't funny. I play VNs in total silence and there are a handful that tug at the heart perfectly well without some sappy garbage playing. I'll kick back and enjoy it while I have some Rammstein or ABBA going, thanks.

Not wrong. Like for me when it comes to games that have animations. Is it really needed to show the point that we are bang? Not really.

That said, I do think that for some VNs, like Eternum and City of Broken Dreamers, the music works really well to kind set the tone and scene and sometimes makes the characters rememberable. For example, everytime I hear Sacreligious on my playlist I can't help but smile and think about a certain Chaundra and the fun times I had with her.

whenever I see mel, I just start
you are my fiiiireeeee
the one deeesiiiireeee

 

[Deleted member 207916]

To me music is anoying element of these type of games. Every game i downloaded from this site i instantly muted. About the game itself i'm really glad this game finaly have gallery. This is probably first remaster i actually like. Didn't play this game for a couple of months. Today i reminded myself why Zach is a moron that deserves to be a punch bag. Screw Ethan but man i can't wait to get my hands on that 'tard.

I had written fan novel here about Mel. It involves John (Iris's and Erynn's dad), Emily and Eryn. So here goes :

Em - Mel let me introduce you my new boyfriend John.

Mel - You bitch that is my EX!! (Fine two can play that game). Em i'm dating your son!!

Erynn - MOOM, WHAAT!?

Em - You wouldn't!?

MC - Mom let me tell you a story...

there is... you kill him and go to jail and your harem is made up of jamal´s and juan´s who treat you like a queen...
