VN Ren'Py SnowStorm [v0.8 BB] [GleenX Studio]

[LordGonti]

With them splitting off to White Wolves (Sonja) & Dark Ravens (Yrsa) with Candrid being the sole main LI with Bears, hmmm.......it does make me wonder whether Dark Ravens and White Wolves will end up with single main LI exclusive branches as well.
Though I guess it is impossible for me to find Lizgard to Katja turning their backs on Nox to be with another clan given their loyalty towards seems absolute. And there's no glimpse of Astrid or Mathilda being dissatisfied with White Wolves clan either.
So perhaps this might just be a Bloody Bears exclusive scenario.
And honestly, I would be really disinterested in a Dark Ravens member exclusive paths (Lizgard, Katja) which doesn't involve Nox anyway.

I absolutely see members switching groups in the next updates. For the Bears, Candrid is the catalyst and already started tapping up Mathilda during the raid suggesting she'd be more appreciated by the Bears. In this update she's clearly making moves on Katja and will need reinforcements.

Astrid began to get involved with Nox and we'll probably get more of that on the WW update. That only leaves Lizgard whose story needs to shift.

dude is bangin some chick during raid and im the one who loses focus 'cause i wanted to protect her? blondes deserves all the mean things said about them.

 

[JJJ84]

not a bad update but i hate being a dumb brute!
why can´t i increase my intelligence to acceptable levels with the bloodybears?

Indeed, and I hope that is something with GleenX changes with future Bears update.
I did notice the MC gain +1 intelligence points when players sticks with Candrid's path.

I get with Nox and her constant pursuit of knowledge Dark Ravens path would be the clan which MC gains the highest knowledge.
But I do think Bloody Bears, with now Candrid being the Queen (to MC's King) and MC's main adviser, there should be significantly more focus on Intelligence; probably not as much as Ravens, but still on pretty high level (and as tradeoff, perhaps lesser focus on strength especially given Sonja is gone).

 

[JJJ84]

well actually, Mathilda seems to be ready to desert to the BB`s Candrid has been playing on her!
and the same for Katje! She seems very brutal in her approach so the BB would fit her better!
Meanwhile Antrja the little princess seems to be ready to defect to the DR if her father dies and she gets into an argument with her sister!
i mean Nox for all her flaws probably made her feel useful for being able to read!
so who would defect to the White Wolfs if parallels are to be found?
imho its probably Nox twin sister aka Lady...

Thinking back to it, yeah.
Mathilda does seem to be increasingly dissatisfied with how she has been treated with the Wolves, and Katja seemed to be pretty chummy with Candrid in the recent updates.

In the Bears route, I guess clans and members may be mixed up possibly resulting in the following?

BEARS - Candrid, Mathilda, Katja
RAVENS - Nox, Lizgard, Yrsa
WOLVES - Astrja, Astrid, Sonja


Though what would it mean for when the player is on the other clans paths?
Ravens, sure there might be potential for conflict between Nox and Katja given Katja fooled the MC into going on the raid, on the pretense that Nox will see him afterwards (or something along those lines), when Nox clearly gave no such instructions; this fallout between them can coincide with Bears' tournament on Yrsa's side (tourney which original Ravens player will not see, but will likely just be told about through Yrsa's pov).

As for player on Wolves path?
Hmmm...... I guess it might be another ultimatum situation like Yrsa; either leave for Bears with Mathilda, or stick with Wolves and no more route with Mathilda.

Gotta admit, all these possible paths are starting to be a little bit tangled like spaghetti .
I just hope GleenX can navigate things in order without muddling it up too much.

Has MC's cock always been like 15 inches long in this VN? Goddamn.

No, that is all a result of the stones' magic

 

[JJJ84]

Yeah, and this was already shown in GleenX's first game Sandstorm.
Granted, I get there are some folks who jumped right into Snowstorm without playing Sandstorm, but I guess playing Sandstorm first is a bit helpful in that regards despite Snowstorm mostly being standalone.

 

[Avaron1974]

Not really.

It's meant I can't pick a love interest in this because I know my main girl will turn up eventually. If I didn't know Mads was turning up I could raid some Vikings.

 

[something123321]

Loved the update

Especially the candrid part, a partnership between two equally ruthless people is like my ideal fantasy relationship, especially if the guy can have some concubines on the side. The only thing I didn't like about this part was how Sonya left the clan, even if you have high affinity and didn't lie to her.
If you have low affinity she says something like the clan isn't worth it anymore, which makes sense if she leaves after that.
But with high affinity I feel she should have stayed while saying something like "if you screw up as our leader I'll kill you myself."
I think that would make more sense, but w/e, not a big thing.

I liked the sonya part, too. Nothing much else to say about it though. Except the hilarious sex scene

As for Yrsa... I really like her, but I had to let her go, I'll delete the game before I join the ravens. I hate Nox too much.

 

[Arus078]

Does anyone have the save of Sonya path before chapter 5?

this should work

 

[Alexeinya112]

Yrsa is best girl, I'd follow her anywhere. The Ravens are cool too.

 

[Jedvin]

Very nice update. I sided with Candrid 'cause becoming a leader sounds sick af. Nice bit of drama with Sonja and Astrja too. At first I wasn't crazy about Candrid, but the update made her very interesting. Now that BBs have lost both Sonja and Yrsa, I hope they gain two new ones. I wanna dominate Mathilda's arrogant ass so bad

 

[Defenestrator.for.traitor]

I hope we won't have to make a choice like this in ww path.

 

[JJJ84]

I hope we won't have to make a choice like this in ww path.

When I first finished the update I wasn't sure, but looking back and seeing the other characters' behavior as well as replies from other folks I'd say it's more likely we'll need to make such choices for both DR and WW paths.

Otherwise, it's gonna be way unbalanced, with the main LIs numbers
as of v0.5;

BB: 1 (Candrid)
DR: 4 (Nox, Lizgard, Katja, Yrsa)
WW: 4 (Astrja, Astrid, Mathilda, Sonja)

DR & WW will likely need at least 1 member each to defect to BB in order to even things out.
Though I'm guessing the escalation won't be as bloody as it was for BB.

 

[LordGonti]

This update looks like a template for the other 2, as I said before I'm sure there will be switching but more specifically, it'll go down in the same way as the BB update so the clans match their outside LI's.

I expect ALL secondary LI's to fall out with their current leaders, including Lizgard. You will always be allowed to follow your chosen LI.

Whats cool is that it opens up several routes to end up in a similar position. For example, if you like Yrsa the most you can join the BBs and follow her to Ravens or join Ravens and let her follow you. The difference being that if you start in the tribe you intend to end up in, you've got a clearer path to leadership.

Well not exactly though. When you make the switch you basically locked in that path. So WW does not have 4 LIs anymore, you locked with Sonja or DR for Yrsa. If we make same type of choices for DR and WW, then game will be divided in 9 paths instead of 3. I was expecting that but not this early.
Now to think about it, we will have last update for locking path at the 0.7 ww update, if we assume 1.0 will be the final it's not that early.

Btw, I must say clicking on the body for the lewd scene by far the best solution IMO. I hope other devs will use it too.

I liked the Bear clan update but it's hard to get excited about the idea that your new wife as the MC (if you pick Candrid)

She was virgin though. Full of surprises, I agree.

Body count wasn't a concern in viking society, unless you are talking about killing people in which it was definitely bragging rights. Both the men and the women were on the merry-go-round. They thought that Christians were prudes with wrinkled, shriveled, disused genitals. Marriage and divorces were equally non events but funerals were a big deal even though murders were not.
