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

[Kaskaze]

Dude, you forgot to mention to the commenter that there is only one real route: MOMMY

Nah, he already asked about a specific route, so I’m sure he’s choosing the right one.

 

[ffive]

Same thing about the meeting in the pizza place, maybe Alexis has a "reason" to get pissed at the MC calling her out...
But Layla should be... "That was awkward... so... Spanish", she has no reason to run off like she does.

Yeah, imo that drama should only fire if MC has been flirting with Leyla for all it's worth until that point (so, crossing the "friends" threshold) while also dating Alexis, since then she/both would have solid reason to feel betrayed and/or lead on, and it'd also warrant some potential heated reactions from Alexis and/or MC. (well, mostly from Alexis. MC breaking up because Alexis didn't mention having a sister is... ehh) Otherwise the blowup feels very much like "...what?"

How's this game translated into so many languages, but the Spanish lines in the English version are mostly wrong in both grammar and actual usage by Spanish natives... is it intentional or something?

Wait, I just saw the translations are unofficial, figures

Then the author should fix that, it's very unimmersive to see characters talking in their alleged native language like if their lines were written by someone in a first year course.

IIRC the author has taken some Spanish lessons herself, but the game has also been around for five years and had multiple native Spanish speakers play and/or comment on it (including the quality of Spanish lines) so perhaps at this point it's not a matter of errors per se, but dialects different to what you're personally used to..?

Layla's hair is already pretty short so it wouldn't be much of a change. I'm going to actually suggest someone who isn't on the list -- it'd be funny if instead of Iris growing her hair back it was Erynn cutting hers short, driving the sisters look home.

Keep those damn clippers away from Erryn , heathen

Thanks, I only played until Cara and Nikki force you to choose one of them, so maybe later in the game this was fixed.

Up to that point, Elena talks in what's clearly how a North American English native or speaker thinks Spanish phrases are formed. There is even a starting question mark missing in one of the lines that I remember (in Spanish there are both starting and ending question marks, not just in the ending like in English: ¿ ?)

Elena isn't a native, as far as we know she has always lived in this fictional version of the US(and we have photos of young Elena and Layla together)... she's fluent in Spanish(suppousedly) because she comes from a family of latinos, her mom and granny probably speak Spanish to her at times, but she grew up speaking English in school and with her friends.

Same thing applies to the MC(and Valeria), was raised by a latino, but he's primarily an english speaker.

Layla, Cara and Elena already have short-ish hair.
Alexis maybe it works for her...

Anyone else i wouldn't change a thing.

Got it, I guessed someone confident enough not to take Spanish classes because she allegedly was a fluent speaker, would at least know there is a starting question mark ¿

 

[Skrrt!]

I did find this bug once and i'm pretty sure it's a bug.
You have ASP which is Erynn trying to set you up with Alexis, but Erynn is still making out with you, it does feel weird and lack cohesion... probably because it was never intended.
ASP isn't suppoused to happen with the Erynn route, it's suppoused to be an Erynn who is no longer interested on the MC for herself so she decides to set him up with Alexis.

It's probably gonna be fixed come version 15 since Layla and Erynn won't be able to be combined anymore.


So far there have been no conflicts between Nikki(same applies to Cara) and any of the girls that live in Madison Springs.
No one has the right answer to this question... is there a final decision coming? Are you already screwed? No one knows... (also saves are getting dumped so who cares?).
PS: Kaskaze has the right idea, play the game, spread some saves around to be safe(reload if you fuck up too much) and have fun, stop thinking on how you can beat the system.

Honestly, this was the kind of answer I was looking for. It's been a while since i've played this game with all my previous saves lost in my old pc from the hurricanes & floods of 2024. I know this game has a lot of branches & i hadnt made it this far before regardless that's very sound advice that you & Kaskaze provided. I can understand you all must get a lot of users coming in & asking similar questions like I did & that can be annoying but i assure you I didn't mean to upset anyone. After all, it's just a game & we're all here to discuss the game in some form or another. Appreciate the kind reply & have a fantastic week!

lost interest in Nikki and Cara when mc moves back to Madison Springs. also didn't like picking one over the other so just didn't bother with either one after my initial playthrough. would be totally onboard with a throuple with them though. probably won't happen though. Erynn is my no.1 LI and Iris is a close 2nd. Elena 3rd with Alexis and Layla next. Val seems kinda pointless so gave up on her. i love the look of Tori tbh but she is too much of a bitch to bother with. would love a path with her when she's all head over heels for the mc while Darryl cries in the background..

You know it's funny Tori reminds me of Megan Good. Probably not intentional but i see the similarities & though not much of a match but im sure Sha'Carri was named after Sha'Carri Richardson the olympic sprinter lol

We do get a lot of people asking how to play the game, how to handle X or Y...
It's just that in my opinion one of the best aspects of this game is how it handles girl vs girl rivalries, seeing how they react and experimenting with it, is a lot more fun than following a guide... including getting "caught" and break up scenes.
Just keep a couple of saves in strategic spots in case you need to fix some decisions... but only after seeing the girls getting mad

Still, the one you asked about, Nikki vs Layla, there isn't much to say, they never properly met and don't know about each other... if they do find out about what's been going on neither girl will like it that's for sure

This should change in the near future because Nikki has plans to move to Madison Springs(the main city), so it's about to get a lot more complicated... but nothing has happened yet.

This is probably a bit hasty, since the Riverside girls make frequent appearances afterwards, and it's likely only going to increase once it's established they have plenty of reasons to keep visiting/move to Madison Springs.

also didn't like picking one over the other so just didn't bother with either one after my initial playthrough. would be totally onboard with a throuple with them though. probably won't happen though.

Get used to having to choose one girl, or they will choose for your MC once the truth of two-timing them comes out. And that choice is more often than not "fuck off and die" from both.

There is Nikki Secret Path if you've formed a pair with Cara but kept relationship with Nikki high enough (20 points or so) It starts fairly late in the story, when MC visits Riverside. Although i doubt this is going to lead to a throuple, probably more like late chance to start Nikki's route and/or swap.

Damn, this is a really tough choice. ‘Muscle mommy’ totally doesn’t fit her (I can’t even believe I’m writing this, but it just came to my mind and I really don’t think it suits her at all — or maybe I just don’t want to accept it). Cara and Layla already have short hair, so that also doesn’t work for me. Alexis? Interesting pick, but I imagine her more as Layla — they’re sisters, so they would look similar. So my choice, and the one I’d like to see, is Val

Damn. I also had a flood here, but somehow managed without major damage. As for incoming users asking questions, I don’t have a problem with them, I just don’t understand their way of thinking and approach—coming and asking how to get through the game. It seems pointless to me.
If you want, it’s worth keeping in mind the Layla+Elena route. It’s interesting and has its charm. Definitely save before a certain point (I won’t tell you what that point is, because as I said, I don’t want to ruin the fun for you, but you’ll probably know what I mean). The other route worth checking out is Alexis+Val. Enjoy the game!

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

my next messy pairing will be an attempt to have 2 pairs of sisters on the hook. Erryn-Iris-Cara-muscle mommy at the same time. If I can pull that off, it would be legendary.

Interesting idea. I’ll just do Iris and Erynn. I don’t want to pair Muscle Mommy + Cara because, first of all, I couldn’t break Muscle Mommy’s heart. And Cara, for me, is the weakest character, so I’m not interested in going through her route.
