VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.3.4] [Eva Kiss]

[LoneWaker59]

Random fun fact:

I was using Playnite to be my virtual library of games and I added 'Our Red String' to it, I played all 9 episodes (final version only), I'm a person who reads pretty fast and even then the game lasted almost 22h!!

I know updates take time to be released but it's impressive that only 9 episodes last that long considering how many choices and paths this game has to offer! And it was just 1 playthrough because I'm not used to making multiple saves and multiple routes, I like to make my choices and see the consequences of it.

there is a lot of spicy dialogue in ch10, there's also this one, i don't know if you know about it....

Haha. Nice. Had no idea on the latter half of the dialogue as I have absolutely no interest in Robert for Lena. Too bad there aren't other playthrough decisions as Lena that would trigger that dialogue, even up to certain porn obsessions.

A Lena with low enough standards to choose Robert, even for a few chapters, kind of lessens her character's worth and desirability to me. It also waters down the attainability dynamic between an average Ian (which all Ians start out as) vs a potential supermodel-nice-girl Lena he's" lucked out" with. The unexpected but plausible (passions, goals, aligned experiences) pairing is no longer so unexpected and just doesn't have the same oomph.

Ian's cuckold route seems very promising

Missed opportunity in the Alison/Jeremy fail-state though. Could've been a selection for Ian to try to gain arousal again by just watching and fondling himself, like he's done on the voyeur route, only live. Then another potential failstate where he could select to try for the threesome again (which could fail too) or continue masturbating, worried about another embarrassment: Select continue masturbating (other selection may be grayed out, depending on stats) > Ian pulls out his phone and starts recording with the other hand, an embarrassed blush on his face.

Small steps. You build up to something like that, not in the very first threesome.

Could very well be, if Eva has the time or focus for it to navigate how Ian/Allison would be open to another one after that disaster (for Ian at least). I can also see her being overloaded with work and just having Ian be 100% into it in the next one, 0 to 60 (I mean, the similar path in GGGB was awful at the end). Hopefully the former rather than the latter.

Build-up has already been there though if Ian has gone the voyeur route and watched all the phone content and I think it could've been smoothly and believably done in chapter 10 with that scenario. Can arguably hold off on him pulling the phone out and clicking record, for a slightly slower roll. I mean, you gotta start somewhere and there's limited time for content creation. Though that content is still locked off in an Ian/Alison relationship route, so it might be too quick for that specific scenario.

I mean, the game has endless possibilities in the future. Eva Kiss (or Eva Tease ) needs to gather more people to work with her on the project, so that updates can be done faster.

This is something people don't understand when they're "LASY MILKING DEV MLKR"ing, comparing the game to a few other titles' production time. They play through one route or two in this one, comparing it to a game that has three routes tops. "WHERE IZ TEH WERK?!?"

I've played the crap out of this game and I've still likely only seen about a third of the content available, other than in forum post descriptions and rooting through the files.

Was it the correct choice, given resources? Well, in her shoes, I'd likely plan from the start and scale paths back a shit ton, elimiating things like outfit selection/tats, providing three streamlined paths to mix it up with and a smaller host of characters. Just enough choice to be satisfying for one or two play-throughs of the same time length as ORS, but in half the dev time (albeit with a more limited market reach). But slow release on ORS is definitely not coupled with lack of content or lack of hard work. Plus, ridiculously large path selection is basically Eva's brand. With so many disparate fanbases satisfied by the same game, she runs the risk of losing chunks of her base when she doesn't provide the sort of path content they prefer that was featured in both GGGB and ORS.

Any news about when the final version will drop (or an ETA)?

Hey guys! Do you know if it's possible to fuck Holly in the hotel and still remain in a relationship with Lena? (can't get enough of this game!)

No it's not possible Holly is like a sister to Lena fucking Holly means no more Lena as far as I know

For the moment. You can fuck Lena until that scene in the hotel with Holly. Let see in the future if you can fuck Lena again while you are in a relationship with Holly (and viceversa, fuck a corrupted Holly while you are in a relationship with Lena). That would be hot.

Love this game to death, the dual protagonist really works for me and with so many possible story lines, it's great.

So I got a question, in the new chapter there is a scene with Ivy and Ian where they are grappling and I never understood how I got it. I played the game several times since ch.10 but I got it a few times. Is it something to do with "good/bad Jess" or something else?

1. Get a high enough relationship score with Jess. (You may have to be in a relationship with Lena for enough content with Ivy to score enough points). 2. Make sure to select to go to the gym in that portion of ch.10.

Some scenes in various chapters to bump up your Ivy score: Club scene early-ish chapter. Ivy asks why they're there: "It's a free country." Posh bar scene with Axel, Jeremy, Good/bad Jess, ect: Select to tell Axel you're in a relationship with Lena. I think there are a few more. Forgot if joking with Ivy when Jeremy first introduces you gives you Ivy points.

Yes that's obvious. The thing is even if I have good relationship with Ivy every time I had bad Jess I could not get this scene.
It's strange.

You need to be rude to her basically and have a good wits stat and use it when she tries to fire you.

It's been a year and there still no decent bang or spicy sex scenes. I bet the game will never improve. Next year it's still be a boring shit about the "deep relationship". Typical girly garbage and so much different from GGGB.

 

[Pr0GamerJohnny]

wow i've seen my share of unlikable MCs but I think this game might just take the cake....
SERIOUSLY?

There's a word for acting like this, but we don't really use it post 90s.......

100% the game has turned into a porn soap series - Soap operas, viscous and meaningless
