VN Ren'Py SnowStorm [v0.9 DR] [GleenX Studio]

[Ebonheart (FR)]

If you go the Candrid story with the Bloody Bears you get a Thrall who's basic sole purpose is to pleasure you or do whatever you want. Candrid story is one of my fave just because of how cunning she is.

If we're talking about Helga, she is indeed a Thrall (a servant), but the dynamic with the MC is fairly normal or classic, from my perspective. If he's really looking for a game with a master/slave relationship focused on domination and sex, then I’m not sure Snowstorm is the right game for him, in my opinion. Although I could be mistaken, he wasn’t very clear either.

I mean got some war slaves, in a viking background game, mc must got a slave through a glorious fight. Helga is a slave and not caught by mc , that made mc seem less accomplished.

The story of the Vikings is always associated with war and slave raiding. In this game, the mc participated in a war but unfortunately did not get any slaves by himself.

duolaamm Attention, you’ve double-posted the same message, so please delete the extra one. I imagine you ran into some difficulty when you tried to quote a user’s post in an attempt to reply to him.

As for your interest here, this is really a matter of perspective and personal choice. We’re in a fictional universe that takes some liberties with historical reality, introducing fantastical elements, all tied to Erastorm's story universe. It’s normal for the tone of the story to differ a bit from the historical period it draws inspiration from, while still sharing some similarities.

I see the capture of slaves, or prisoners, more as a consequence than a cause. Historically, Viking raids had several objectives (expansion, colonization, resources, trade, exploration, demographic needs, etc.). Helga, if I recall correctly, was once in service to another master who’s since passed away, and she was captured during a Bloody Bears raid back then when Ragnar still led the clan.

After the leadership change orchestrated by Candrid with Nick’s help, Helga joined the house of the new clan leader, Nick (MC), as a sort of concubine. You could still consider her a thrall, or even a sexual slave if you’d like, but it’s no longer that relevant now, since the relationship is completely voluntary and harmonious from my point of view.

However, if you’re looking for a master-slave relationship with full domination (including sexually), I’m not sure the game portrays it that way. You’ll have to decide if it meets your expectations.

Even the fictional series Vikings had plenty of historical "errors" and liberties on the chronological events and the way the Vikings lived to meet a good entertainment value and meet the narrative, most of the historical knowledge of their people exist on the eyes of their enemies specially the "Britain's" (and that usually leaves a more negative tone) since they didn't leave that many written way of living and their ways. So most people are suggested by the entertainment that exist and not the real events and behavior anyway hehe. That is why we love fiction I guess.

Slavery were a norm in most of the civilizations in that era anyway, unfortunately for my country shame we Portuguese were the ones that turn it into a worldwide business but fortunately we were also one of the first if not the first to abolish it also but still is one of the shames my country have to carry.

Alright, guys, don’t go too far off-topic, and avoid topics that definitely don’t belong here, like politics. Originally, I was just giving a bit of context about the game and commenting on what someone seemed to want regarding slavery in the game. Nothing more, nothing less.

Let’s stick to the topic of the game here, or we risk getting into slippery debates that have nothing to do with this thread. There's an Off-Topic section in General Discussions for these kinds of heated debates.

Slavery is already a sensitive enough topic, no need to add more to it.

Edit : The post responsible for my comment has been deleted. So the situation is fine again on this thread.

It looks like the beta version of the next update is out on Patreon, we're making progress.

The post on Patreon mentions that the beta focuses on Yrsa and Nox’s paths, the proofreading isn’t finished yet, and there are still some errors.

 

[duolaamm]

three path all could make some slave raiding content, mc as a viking warrior must complete such achievement！！！
maby blood bear path mc can enslave other tribe, so it makes the game more exciting

 

[BurgRoyce]

So, Yrsa and Nox's paths. It's surprising it doesn't include Lizgard's

 

[Dr.TSoni]

I think the difference between Yrsa and Nox's paths is how you join BR, so Lizgard should be part of Nox's path

 

[duolaamm]

when new update come out?

 

[asddfghjkl;']

when new update come out?

beta is already out on patreon
just gotta wait for it to drop here unless we get when the full release is out

 

[Warscared]

i'll wait for the official release, GleenXstudio deserves some respect for his work
and to eek out as much support as he possibly can squeeze for his work!

At the same time i am a Viking Pirate so once he has had his way with the simps it's time for me to rape...
i mean reap my slice of the unearned pie!

 

[duolaamm]

we need a hero，

I'm gonna be honest here.
No doubt the temptation would be too great to pass on if the beta for the latest update gets leaked somehow.

Having said that, I actually don't wish the game to be leaked until the Final version (which has been proofread, and more important, any error corrected) is out.
First reason for that is that GleenXstudio really deserves some more time enjoying Patreon exclusive release and further potential patrons & support.
Second reason would be that given Nox is my absolute favorite LI, she really deserves the best release possible.

But oh well, I'll see how things go.

 

[duolaamm]

Why not use grok3 for proofreading

 

[Mark _Valmont]

Its coming!!!

Thanks. The only thing I ask for is to not find buggy beta versions in the wild. Especially as the beta version of this release happened to point a few inconsistency problems and some notable bugs, (more than usual), it's reaaallly better to wait for the cleaner final version . Proofreading is progressing well so it's just a matter of days now.

It varies a lot from one player to another, depending on how carefully one reads and if all girls are pursued (and thus getting all possible scenes or not).
But I think it's even longer than the previous update, as Yrsa and Nox's paths have a lot of differences and exclusive scenes.

Thanks for the reply!
Loved SandStorm, and You really upped the bar from it with SnowStorm and having such a good time with it (and yup, love it as well, even moreso than SandStorm).
And of course, when SnowStorm ends (hopefully, it's not too soon!), there will be DustStorm, which I'll be really looking forward to.

You deserve every day of exclusive release support, and yeah I always hope bug-free releases too.
Here's hoping folks are patient until Full version is out and not rush to leak the beta.

camube, here's the answer from the dev himself

And GleenX, holy smokes, it's even longer than the previous update?
You really outdid yourself with this one it looks like, especially given BB update was......one very chunky (term I use to describe updates with long and big content) update.
So it's just Nox & Yrsa paths with this update? No Lizgard?
Granted, I don't really mind too much given I'm Nox Supremacy all the way but ngl, I'm a little bit surprised Lizgard's path isn't in given it's the DR update.
