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

[WarriorSteel]

What you mean or how do you reach to that conclusion about Freya? Also would not be against other paths of Sandstorm.

If you do the ending with Maddie where you don't cross the portal, the MC and her are talking about having a daughter and calling her Freya. In the night of the conception of the kid, a strange woman is looking at the room where the MC and Maddie are.
Later Glenn released a render with this strange woman on it, and you can guess what her name is.

And in SnowStorm Freya is connected to the blue crystals and the MC is able to unlock its powers...

About it going against the other paths, it does go only if you think there is only one timeline. I'm sure there is a multiverse for the Storm games' setting.

Cool, the project is ambitious let's hope he can pull it off. Stormverse is a cool concept.

Sometimes I am wondering am I the only who likes both games equally

Sandstorm was okay, it is just that the Devs improved a lot and I like the girls in Snowstorm far more.

 

[Warscared]

so nobody is talking about that Astrja and her anger can unleash the power of winter snow and ince?
I mean wtf, and the talks about Astrja and Astrid mother being special...
i wonder if what caused the blizzard in the middle of the summer was Astrid and Astrja mother passing away?
Astrja needed to let some steam off and went bezerkir after the outcasts unleashing winter on them!
that same power focus drew the attention of the gods and redirected the portal since thats how they can "see"
like redirecting a satellite tv dish right at the time the MC was crossing the portal
and since all portals to all pantheons are connected the MC washed out
like from a sewer drainage were all the pipes end up...
thus why they the outcasts now moved closer to the village
cause this summer there is no way they can feed and collect enough
to last trough the winter without eating half of themselves?
and somehow Candrid was able to make a deal with them?
Is Candrid the really big baddy behind the curtains?
or did someone or something else washed up with the MC ?
can baphomet or whatever the cat lady goddess have dropped
and she is now controlling the outcasts and raising the spirits of the dead?

Also i believe Candrid was Ragnar´s eldest!

Are the new scenes included in the gallery? I'm playing the compressed version but cant seem to find any new entries in the replay room, just a single page same as last version.

Sometimes I am wondering am I the only who likes both games equally. I agree Snowstorm has much better renders and much more complex storyline but I like both games the same.

Nope, we both are minimum 2 https://f95zone.to/threads/sandstorm-erastorm-saga-1-v2-01-gleenx-studio.70133/post-11979967

At the beginning of chapter 4.5 we were told we have to back to the midsummer events, is there any significant content added that is worth the replay or should I just continue where I left off?

Man, it was quite a conversational minefield for me after MC became BB chief. Like half the time Candrid kills my boy, and half the time she gives up her virginity, nice (though its weird she keeps referring to him as a King when he's a Chieftain at most). But in my main playthru MC left BB with Yrsa, (and i wonder if Helga is coming with?). Yrsa, for my money, has to be the best LI in this VN. Candrid and Nox are both equal parts intelligent, conniving and deadly, Astrja and Sonja are both too muscular and bad-ass for me, Mathilda is a shrew from hell, Astrid is a kid who has her head in the clouds, Lizard is so emotionally damaged she probably won't let MC's dick within 5m of her pussy for years, and Katja is a scarred lesbian (also deadly). Yrsa just seems the best all rounder. Mild mannered but tough, beautiful, kind and principled.

This is a pretty top notch VN, only the animations leave anything to be desired. Keep up the good work dev.

Yeah Astrid is a kid who has her head in the clouds; she predicts the outcome of the raid, she even questioned his father position in that matter, she always know the right words to move people in the direction she wants, she is understanding, understood the importance of information, learned a whole new language by herself from a book in secret, can see the imbalance within village and so on, so I agree just a kid.

I don't get the feeling Astrid is a jealous one but still I don't think she will be part of any harem, probably not because of jealousy but because of her self respect.

I actually see it differently.
I'd say her jealousy is sprinkled here and there in not so obvious areas;

- When MC first meets her after Astrja's introduction (assuming on WW's path), soon enough she tries to annoy Astrja with the fact that that her and MC can speak English and her sister can't.

- Early on in the game, one of the dialogue choices iirc with her is she questions to MC "I'm much better than Astrja, right?"
Saying yes to her appeasing her pride/ego results in +1 Affinity point with her, while saying the other option does nothing.

- In that book writing scene where Astrja interrupts, there are 2 choices.
One is the part where you choose who to sit next to. Choosing Astrid (despite Astrja still dragging MC to her side) becomes part of action which leads to +1 Affinity point with her, whereas choosing Astrja does nothing.
Not to mention the last choice; telling Astrja "You're getting in the way of Astrid and I focusing on the book" will become part of action that leads to +1 Affinity point with her.

Sure, part of this some may chalk it up to her immaturity given she's younger than other LIs, but even so I'd say jealousy still plays a bit of a factor with her character (even though it's not as obvious as Mathilda).

Characters like Yrsa (who has a daughter) or Candrid (who finally get the leadership that she wanted) wouldn't cross the portal IMO.
And several of the girls don't like the idea of polygamy. You can see Yrsa's reaction when she catches the MC with Yulla.

Compared to Sandstorm, all the main LIs of Snowstorm (Astrja, Nox, Candrid) are in important positions of the heirarchy so I doubt they'd abandon their position in their timeline to cross the portal with the MC.

In fact, I actually think I'm not too keen on the idea of another LI from the second game jumping again with the MC, especially since we've had it once in Sandstorm and it's really gonna come off as repetitive.
Besides, what happened to to the Sandstorm LI who crossed the portal with MC has not even been properly addressed yet so adding another LI who goes through the same thing I'd imagine will just cause more chaos with everything becoming too much of a spaghetti.

I always think that as sibling rivalry not jealousy tbh. There was no reason for jealousy when MC was in the cage but she acts same, also when Astrja brings MC to their home even though Astrid has no interest in MC at that point still acts same towards Astrja. When they were asking ink from Astrja she still badmouths her sister but if you try to intervene she stop you and explains that she loves her sister. So sister rivalry is more likely what she has with Astrja and I believe they are the same with or without MC.
Only think I can think of as jealous act from her, when MC dreams about Rion(other Sandstorm LIs also maybe?) she asks about her and any sense of romantic involvement is visibly bothers her.
So I think we should see her interaction with other girls besides Astja, especially Mathilda.

I'm pretty sure Helga will stay in the BB. She is a part of the harem Candrid wants to give the MC, and I doubt Yrsa or Sonya would accept her presence. Especially because Helga clearly wants to climb all over the MC.

For me, I see it differently.
I mean she can still be jealous of what Astrja has with MC despite still loving her sister, you know?
Both aspects can co-exist, and I don't think they have to be mutually exclusive (i.e. if she loves her sister, then she can't be jealous of her) of one another.
Couple off choices with her have been MC giving a negative response towards his other LIs; lion's share of them have been Astrja (as in my previous post), but there's also one other dialogue regarding Nox; Astrid claims Nox is a witch and badmouths her.
Player only gets an affinity point if he has MC agree with her, but gets nothing if he defends Nox (I did exactly the latter in my DR path).
So even if it's not Astrja, if MC speaks positively or defends another LI, it results in no affinity points.
And that, I'd say jealousy comes into play, in a much more subtle way than Mathilda.

I'm not even sure if Mathilda had a proper interaction with Astrid.
In fact, I'm not even sure I remember Astrid talking about Mathilda.
So can't say much on that.

I did not say she can't love her sister while she jealous. I said it was not jealousy it's just sibling rivalry. She does not allow anyone but herself to badmouth her sister even if it was MC. Like I said she acts to same towards Astrja before and after she has romantic interest in MC.
Nox is a witch in her eyes. When her father asks her to get Nox's help, she says from that witch, you can't trust her etc. MC was not present at that conversation since he was on a raid. Was she jealous of Gertrude or her father? She simply does not like Nox and find DR members weird.
She has brief conversation with Mathilda when she was with MC at the market and she was not acting jealous at that interaction. Though what I meant there, her future interactions with other LIs beside Astrja to be sure about whether she is jealous or not.
At least we agree, harem is not gonna happen on Astrid path.

Like I said, it is my opinion you can take it as you like not gonna try to convince you.

 

[Dyhart]

Did I do something different when starting over this time or have things changed?

I played 0.4 as bloody bears and I was able to do events with Astrid and the raven with the spear..I can't remember her name with the blue text.

Anyway this time around I couldn't. I felt like I could do more but some weren't available this time around.

BTW great branching point following that story. VERY unexpected at least for me.

But now I do have to wonder I went with Sonja. I mean I WAS with Yrsa, but she walked off.(I'll replay that but I'm not letting Sonja get treated like that come what may.) Seriously you have an asshole as the new leader and someone who honestly should be cast out for being so damn shady and manipulative. It doesn't look good for the Bears. and + 2 Wolves.....which is also why I'd like to do some Astrid scenes while with the Bears.


hmm is Sonja gonna have to dye her hair? Might be the start of ending that rule. Hey Yrsa come back!

EDIT: I have to check but maybe the choice at the start about being an Englar affects the hang out choices somewhat.

 

[WarriorSteel]

Yes, things have changed. Each clan now has a limited number of girls that the MC can romance, you can no longer pursue all girls.

I mean I WAS with Yrsa, but she walked off.(I'll replay that but I'm not letting Sonja get treated like that come what may.)

You can only follow Yrsa to the DR of you don't join the tournament.

Like I said, it is my opinion you can take it as you like not gonna try to convince you.

For me, I probably should have worded the previous post a bit better;
"Astrid can still have sibling rivalry with Astrja and love her as a sister while being jealous of her."

I mean.... why would she be acting differently though especially given the events that happened?
Even if we assume Astrid is jealous, after we build both relationships with her and Astrja up as LIs, there were no scenes post-book creation scene between them which were significant enough with MC in between to incite their rivalry (and jealousy) - given the only proper scene they share after that was when she sees off MC and her sister off on that Jarl Harek (oof, hope I'm remembering the name right) raid.

She says to MC and her sister "Look after each other" or something along those lines - but that doesn't really make me think 'Just cause she's a caring sister, that equates to her not being jealous of relationship her sister may have with the MC.'
A person can still be a caring/decent person (given her sister might get killed) despite having a negative emotion such as jealousy especially when it comes to their kin.
The game moved to more "end of the world Ragnarok" danger arc, and away from the living daily lives in the early part, so I do feel it's irrelevant to compare the After part since all characters' heads are in another thought right now.
But given what we've seen between Astrid and Astrja, I'd say jealousy between them is quite plausible - at least that's my interpretation, anyway lol.


Fair enough on Astrid's reaction to Nox.
With Mathilda, I think her jealousy isn't just necessarily towards MC & Astrja's specific romantic relationship. It felt like whole lot of different things come into play with her;

- Astrja being the chieftain's daughter (so higher position in heirarchy)
- Astrja being more respected in the village
- Astrja being more popular and wooed by more men in the village
- MC not paying as much attention to her

So, a bit of mixture of envy and jealousy.
I'm a bit sucker for flawed characters so Mathilda is my favorite out of WW, and I'm kinda looking forward to where her character goes.
To BB? Ngl, can be quite interesting, given she feels underappreciated with the WW.

Heh, I wasn't trying to convince you either; just stating my pov, nothing more nothing less.
