As stated above, do not date Eva. Do not date Arthur. Do not date Wilson. Be in open relationship. That should do it.
Arthur(bad route) and Eva(good route) are ok as long as you don't break up with Eric and keep an open relationship with him. Do not go with Wilson and Eric will live.

Really? Wilson is the _only_ reason Eric dies? I always get the cheating message after I get in bed with Arthur and I assumed that meant that any relationship with Eric will fail after that message. It also pops up after Wilson and that was kind of a safe bet anyways considering the history. I always pick the "Stay as Eric's girlfriend" choice after Ash considers her choices. Also, are the "good" and "bad" routes referring specifically to Ash's "alignment"?

You can continue your relationship with Arthur or breakup after Eric returns. No consequences as of yet.

Some thoughts on GGGB progress
Oct 17 at 1:36pm
Hi guys!
So, as you know, I never expected this game to become so big and have as much following. It has enabled me to live off of my creative endeavours, and that is truly awesome.

The game had great acceptance from the beginning and had been growing month by month. However, lately seems like interest and investment on the game is declining each month. Has this project reached it's peak and it's all downhill from now on?

I would like to know your thoughts on this. Do you think it's time to end the game for good and move on to something else? Or maybe there's something I could do to appeal to more people and rekindle the public's interest? Do you know some way to promote GGGB so more people know about it's existence and are willing to back it up?

I really love this project and it's getting really big and really complex. Each month is a bigger challenge and I'm eager to let you guys experience the story, art and mechanics I craft, and I have to admit it's a bit sad to see the game's patronage on recession... I want to create something really awesome that a lot of people are excited about!

Let me know what you think and don't worry, there's a lot more GGGB coming and it will have a lot of epic and satisfying endings when that time comes, be it sooner or later.
Hmm, I really don't know why she is considering ending the game or asking for moving on to something new. Last time I looked on her patreon page she got >7k a month. Okay, I agree she can think about a coming end for some paths to reduce some complexity. But hey, smokin hot Ash has still many many adventures to experience, imho! Just with Arthur and the Ash and or Iris combo you can do sooo many pervy things, I don't wanna miss that! So concluded: Reduce complexity by reducing/ending some paths and give the rest more kinky stuff. That's how it goes, you have to raise the dose for the addicted time by time.

Until last july she was constantly growing a few 100 dollars a month. In july she was scraping at both 8k and 2000 patrons. Since then she lost a few 100 dollars a month, as can be seen .
It might just be a general patreon thing. I browsed a few other creators and several had this downslide since summer.

It happens alot around the end of the year for all patrons, saving a little bit instead of giving it to patreon can get you alot with upcoming Black Friday sales and well as winter Steam sales. Not to mention Christmas.
Fenoxo is down $4,000 a month right now just like every year from Sept-Jan, $20 for a scene or two in a game or a full AAA game with some dlc.

She should really think about ramping up to some endings though. Right now, Ash just feels a bit aimless. Her updates feel short because of so many paths needing to be advanced, and she hadn't got herself a team.

Oh sweet baby Jesus, give me the strength not to be rude... It's not an update, it's a preview. And the preview mostly got only one scene, as a preview. Intended for paying patrons to give them - a preview.
Sorry, you are right. But in change-log I've read something other reviews. My fault.

If I were in her position, I would just focus on art direction and story and hire a programmer for renpy scripting. You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs which means as the project starts to get bigger and more complex you have to pay other people for additional support and further development. Otherwise eventually she will start to have a burnout, as it has already started to happen. 8k per month with a single person team is amazing, but in order to make that next leap into 10k+ zone she has to invest and expand the project team or throw the towel with similar endings to Mass Effect 3.

Honestly this is why we have so many "unfinished" adult video games. Because most developers behind these projects are creative and ambitious people yet they lack the necessary business and project development skills. That's why you have this thing called "project director" in big video game studios. If you are making money, you are managing a business it doesn't matter if it has cocks and titties in it.

Thank you Eva for this fantastic game. I still remember when I discovered it, just after the release of 0.19! I wish I can wait 6 months to find the same amount of content. But I'm addicted and can't wait every preview, update ... avidly.
I'm thinking about what I would like to see in the future. Some ideas:
Relation with Bernard can evolve towards pregnancy.
Arthur seems to me like the way Ashley breaks the most tabous. I'd like another scene with Iris, a threesome with arthur and a blindfolded Eric, a scene when Arthur share Ashley with drunken friends.
The Jasmin way could lead to some bdsm stuff but I rather see that with Ethan. I imagine Ethan being secretely a bit of a whip lover. Ash mum dislike it but one day he finds drug in Ash's bedroom and punish the bad girl. Spank, spank. She loves it and the he unleash his penchant for it. In the end, Ethan could drop Mom for Ashley.
Mom should have a scene with Ashley. Ash should go to the club as well for a full thinggie.
I think Ryan could use Ash prowesses to win new business or drop he for a nightmare evening with monster lady if she refuses.
Of course cam girl leads to porn movies. I think that Ash still has a lot of physical experiences to go: double vag, double anal, fist... nothing crazy but nearly mainstreal porn.
Eric has the potential to become Ash pet. Further humuliations may occur.
Thru Doug it could be an interesting scene involving a football team kinda oh this is men's locker room! ffor those interested in group scenes.
Wich lead to Wilson. I think that we are near the end here. Ash can become a real junkie and end up whoring in the streets (not my cup of tea)
Ash fantasies with Tyrone aren't over. She still have to take him in the ass.
I read a lot of comments asking for more about Eva, Natasha and Iris. I'd love too but this game is focused on Ashley and, as important is the fact that caracters are more elaborated, they shouldn't steal the show.
And last I can't imagine that Norman, Ethan and Ryan doesn't know each other (same golf club, whatever). There coulb be interesting cross stories over there.

You're correct. GGGB is too ambitious of a project for one person. She should trim the fat and close some of the paths or invest some of her earnings and hire somebody. I doubt the reason for the decreasing donations is lack of interest in the game. It has more to do with the fact of the many branching options and not all of her patrons can experience the new content without starting a new playthrough. That can put some people off. Another thing to consider is every year there's a dip in patreon donations during the summer and it picks up again in autumn and winter. That's affecting all kinds of creators who have reached the cap of their patreon support for the time being. She should change her strategy in developing the game and not end an otherwise successful project due to stagnating donations.

I'd say the complexity of all the different story lines is probably getting a bit too much, now with regards to this preview it is a hell of a lot better than the V.20 preview. All my different playthroughs had something going on

That drop can be related to Patreon's payment system moving to UK few months ago. AFAIK because of this some banks in several countries flagged Patreon payments as fraud and blocked.
