VN Ren'Py SnowStorm [v0.10 WW] [GleenX Studio]

[-CookieMonster666-]

Sandstorm always kind of struck me as practice for something better. You have to learn somehow. There has been marked improvement in this game so here's hoping it gets better as time goes on. If you don't want to finish Sandstorm you don't really have to. All that really happens is he jumps through a portal. There are a number of reasons he chooses to do that, but in every scenario there is a girl involved. That might be the only detail that is applicable to your playthrough.

I guess I might not continue with it then
Just wanted more context on the MC's backstory and because I just wanted more of SnowStorm in general

I'm not saying playing Sandstorm is necessary before playing this. But there is backstory on the portals themselves (and why they are important to the series as a whole); some degree of tie between gems from then and crystals from this game; and so on. But sure, "All that really happens is he jumps through a portal".

Is it posible to play all the events -excluding the ones for the 3 main LI, since they're clan-exclusive- in a single playthrough?

This game seems to be quite like the SMT Persona franchise, where time is limited and therefore imposible to fully experience every character. I find that very irritating. I like the game enough to be interested in getting to know all the characters to the end, but replaying the whole thing over and over because you run out of time isn't fun. The calendar mechanic doesn't add antything to the game. C'mon.

Unless I'm missing something, what's the point of replaying the whole game several times just because the calendar doesn't let you see all the characters? I understand the need of keeping different saves when there're several outcomes to X or Y situation (like in diferent endings if you want to see them all), but locking out content without a good reason (such as this calendar that doesn't allow us to meet the cast) seem pointless and also a waste of time.

No, that's not possible. The LIs exclusive to each clan (Nox, Astrja, and Candrid) have events / versions of events that are specific to them. For instance, in this latest release the primary event is considerably different depending on your clan. You will not get the same thing for each clan, so your interactions with the primary LI for your chosen clan are going to be different. It's just not doable in a single playthrough.

Dear Dev of Snowfall,
where does the word "Bókk" you use in sections of this game originate from and what does it mean?
even my icelandic teacher, who is a scandinavist and speaks also Old Norse, Nynorsk, Bokmål, Swedish, German, English and Afrikaans couldnt help me here.

all he was able to tell me is that if it is old norse / icelandic - it must be from before the 13th century. something about history of germanic languages and how they collapsed in the 11th century

 

[Lolas Razor]

it means book! the old scandinavians did not had books,
technically speaking very few people did they used parchments
so when the MC is trying to say he will write a book...

in that culture he should have said to sing an epic (or a saga!)
or put a saga to written word
(which at the time most of the times meant sculpting or carving it in stone!)

if he wanted to be accurate probably create a poem or a story on a parchment!

the only books back then ... well its the book, only the bible was created in a book form!

ink and paper were more expensive then gold (and far less durable...)!
paper specifically, if the ancients could see how we use toillet paper
they would thinks us the wealthiest of nations and people... and proceed to pillage us!

you sure its book? book in icelandic and old icelandic as well is "bok". so its neither of these languages. wich wouldnt make it very coherent as the rest is pretty much icelandic, altough very formal at times

plus its used in a way, that it would not make any sense if it indeed meant book.

Since I'm not a native viking , I'm getting help from this website when I need to write some "Old Norse".

You must be registered to see the links

According to them, it should mean "thanks", and the correct spelling is : þǫkk, þökk, þokk

 

[TheSidewinder]

I'm no linguist, but "B" and "þ" look to be different letters (not simply upper/lower case of the same letter) in the language from which that word was derived.

But I'll let the experts weigh in on that.

 

[GleenXstudio]

Certainly, but the font I'm using doesn't have all those special characters so I'm picking the closest letter available.
I don't pretend to teach Old Norse, neither History with the game though... I could have used completely random words, I try to keep a close context for better immersion, but please don't take the game as historically accurate. It's not the case. Especially the clothes

Mmm... Your comment makes me think... The live of that town could be considered accurate or just for the sake of the story the people are segregated by the color of their hair or at least the way of life of the raven clan are inspired of some people of that region in the world? To me the ravens are pretty way communist...

Antoher thing, the version before v0.3.5 i forget to comment but, with the raven the girl that serves as a "cow" (in a sense...) i don't see the sex scene followed if MC agree to solve her "dry problem". I played using a compressed version, so i don't know if it was a trouble for that or if it was in the original file too, i can't test it because my PC it's in essence a potato pc, and even the compressed version isn't enough compressed specially in the animated opening (I must say video?) that follows to show start, load, preferences... Because it lags a hell my pc, and if the compressed version can do that, i don't want to test the original version to contrast...
