VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.14] [Nyx]

[cooldevo]

You could almost call them...hidden feelings.

On Erynn's end, I'd say she is fully aware of how she feels. Sure there's a nervousness in her intimate moments, but why? MC clearly has his thoughts we can read, and he more or less fully admits to wanting more. Neither just seems to want to admit to the other what they actually feel.

The longer the story has gone on, I'm less inclined to believe it's the Ethan story that's keeping her internalizing. There's very little thoughts of hers that we (game player) are privy to, that makes me thinks that's it's related to Ethan in any way.

I'm thinking that it's fear. She expresses concern at least once, possibly twice?, that she's scared he'll take off again. She was already hurt/devastated when he cut her out of his life the first time and left town. She says as much when her and MC are in his room and she asks why he hasn't decorated his room, and that she's concerned/worried he'll leave again. As it's something she actually says directly to the MC, I'm thinking it'll probably be the, if not one of the, top reasons.

there's also the fact her and MC are lifelong friends and if it doesn't work out then they could lose each other forever, there's also probably doubts in her head that it feels too good to be true

she also could just be scared that last time she fucked someone it was being recorded

yeah I think it's why she makes such a big deal about him decorating his room. That's why I think when the MC decided not to buy that poster for his room but get something online in this update. Erynn was kind of sad and disappointed in that moment , I do wish we saw them browsing the store for his room during the date however. It could of gave us a bit more insight and how she feels about him and abandonment issues she has with the MC and his room.

When the scene happens, you aren't fully on her path, as it exists, yet but have already had the chance for some flirting and intimate moments. I always found it odd/cringey that if you pursue her solo path to that point, Erynn offers some picture of her for the wall and the MC says "but that'd be weird if I brought girls home" (paraphrased). If the MC/Me will be fully into only Erynn, as they've already flirted a lot even by that point, it was just pretty cringey moment for me. I'd have loved the chance to put those photos up, and could have been a step to say look I'm decorating and not going anywhere.....

Even if not on her path, cool action shots of Eryn in her gaming shots wouldn't really be any more awkward than having a photo of a random female singer, actress, model, or athlete on the wall. Well, if on Lexi's path, maybe not the MC's Enzo poster, as he already walks in on them at her house, why have him pretend there?

Don't worry, Layla and Lexi will be the ones to catch MC balls deep in Adriana and in their parents bedroom. You got to unlock the "All in the Family" achievement.

don't even joke about that, it'd be way too hilarious.

Any idea as to when this game could be completed? Just asking for a ballpark number if anyone has any idea.

neverending story but not on this or next year, possibly by 2030.

probably a few more years

and those aren't ingame years.


serious question: who are naomi and natasha? checked game stats and it says that "my" saves have 6 naomi points and that there's some natasha but no clue who either is.

Naomi is the math teacher. Natasha is Zach's sister, the receptionist that MC can watch the coach fucking in the locker room. You also bump into her at the beach one time and she talks her cougar friend down from jumping you.

considering we're kinda halfway into the actual in-game timeframe Nyx gave, it wouldn't be surprising, unless she speeds things up or time-skips. But so far she kept it fairly linear day by day pretty much.

She's the math teacher, you can either Answer a question for before break, or not.

not on my watch, I'm solidly on the Mommy Brooke train

Maybe we can knock up Mommy Brooke then she gets together with our mother and they both take care of our kid like it's theirs

The recent trend hasn't been to speed up, if anything she's spending more time with each day.
Maybe this will change with school being back, on school days we talk before class, class flies by, and then an after class scene.

Erynn mentions summer break in less than 2 months, that's where this will end right?

Does Erynn know that the MC is cheating on Cara/Nikki when they go on their beach date? Cause she seem pretty not okay with doing that when he's dating Alexis, granted that is her best friend tho.

If you have Nikki/Cara and is dating Erynn, Erynn has met them and has been explicitly told we have a relationship with those girls, no escaping that.
It's also unclear what she knows about a possible Layla relationship, she has seen Layla out with the MC, got jealous of her inviting him to the beach(fairly early on)... but nothing more, can't really say anything else.
PS:It's worth noting that you can "break up" with Erynn because of your Layla relationship, but there's no option to break up with Layla for Erynn.

This type of "inconsistent morals" is not uncommon in this game, Valeria backs off completely if you have a Layla relationship, but takes no prisoners when it comes to Alexis.
Similarly Erynn slows her roll(at least so far, signs are there that she still wants more) to preserve her relationship with Alexis, but ignores any other possible relationships you may have.
They respect their friends, but are willing to screw others.

Maybe this gives us a bit more wiggle room in terms how to handle a Erynn-Nikki(maybe even Layla) confrontation perhaps?
At least from a "keep Erynn" perspective, Erynn knew, still chose to jump in... in theory she can't complain.

Clock is ticking on multiple fronts.

But in Valeria's situation she also was unaware of how serious the MC's relationship was with Alexis, and as soon as she realized it she gave him an ultimatum of "her or me".

With Erynn I understand how it's more complex. Because with Valeria situation if MC picks her than great, if he doesn't that sucks but it's still best for everyone involved that he made a decision. Theoretically if Erynn were to give him a similar "her or me" ultimatum it could potentially result in the MC leaving again to be with an out of town LI.

It's a understandable motivation for Erynn perspective I just wish this had been conveyed in the past few updates if it indeed was the case.

 

[valbitterb]

Does anyone have a save after erynn shower scene ? Iam stuck here

Were you able to find a save? I can pm you mine. But it's from a compressed version.

That was a bit of a self serving(the Valeria thing) justification don't you think?
She knew that Alexis was more than simply a girl the dude was seeing, maybe the first time Layla said "he's dating my sister" she could've thought it was nothing serious, no need to be concerned...
But in the scene after the photo booth, after she met Alexis in person, she acknowledges to her mom that the guy has a GF, that's serious territory already.
She didn't think it was anything serious, just hooking up... and somehow catching them on a fairly relaxed date, at the beach, nothing too romantic... convinced her that this is "super serious"?
There was nothing there to indicate that things got more serious than before,maybe she thought the guy would naturally break things off with Alexis for her and when she saw it wasn't happening felt the need to say something.

I don't think she was wrong to stand her ground, perhaps wrong getting into it with a guy on a relationship, but standing her ground wasn't wrong(if she didn't she would go into Tori territory, fucks around and doesn't care).

BTW, i used Val as the example but it could've been Iris... doesn't fuck over Alexis, but does fuck over Layla(ASP route) in terms of girls having flexible morals depending on how close they are to the girl getting cheated.

I agree that Erynn has more on the line and is waaaay more scared of potential fallout of putting the guy against the wall Val style.
For Val this is a dude she just met, if he says no... too bad.
For Erynn it's kind of a traumatic experience that hurts her deeply if she gets rejected, might have consequences on the Ethan stuff even.
This even shows up in the Val+Erynn path, if you chose Val, Erynn gets fucking depressed as hell... if you chose Erynn, Val reacts like "Ohhh that sucks... hey mom let's go out".

And you are not wrong that Erynn should show some signs that she remembers Nikki/Cara even if she doesn't say it, i mean the dude just took a trip to where they live.
It's true that he only mentions going to see Nathan, but she had 0 reaction to his trip and we all know how women get suspicious of these things right?
Maybe just a small "Alvarado is near Riverside isn't it?" to show that she remembers and is thinking about it.

Nyx could fix this inconsistency with a few renders here. When Val witnesses Lexi and the MC make out at the Monroe front door, she could have that same surprised and put off look that she has during the beach scene where the mc kisses Lexi's face after the football hit her.

IN ADDITION: Subsequent Val dialogue lines in the Val park scene could mention the kiss at the front door in addition to the beach scene before she gives the MC his ultimatum.

And even when you reject Val in the park, based on her reactions, she's still either going after the MC through Lexi or her path is open if we break up with Lexi?

Maybe just a small "Alvarado is near Riverside isn't it?" to show that she remembers and is thinking about it.

I agree. That would also add more development to Erynn's character.


Mama Valeria is also very disappointed at the MC cancelling last minute on her baby girl.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

I have decided as a member of the short haired gang that I now wish to see Alexis with short hair. Perhaps a mohawk.
