VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch. 12.3 Alpha] [Eva Kiss]

[Lemix]

The Ivy example is a fair point, though I never thought of her as Lena's bestie, shes just the party-girl friend; Louise is the bestie, but i guess it depends how you play it.

Pretty sure Ivy being her best friend is ingame canon, no matter how much you try to be good to Louise, you cant(i tried very hard, she is my favorite "love interest"), i wish it did depend on how you play it tho.

Or maybe here's a different way I could try and get you to see it; other than the shaggy sing-a-long (though making fun of a guy for being too much of a player is kinda a joking gentle jab), when is Jeremy ever humiliated? When is Axel ever humilated? Ian has loads of scenes with potential humilation given the wrong choices.

I dont think its fair to use all potential times protag "can get humiliated", i personally dont really see anything humiliating about the scene we were initially talking about(Wade/Ian dialogue about Cindy), Axel and Jeremy simply dont have that many scenes for them to get humiliated, they are side characters with very narrow purposes, especially Axel, we only see him like 3-4 times for a short time and its almost always work related in some way( photoshoot), Jeremy is too dense and simple to get humiliated, i dont think he would care or even notice.
I played recently as Ian that fucked everyone he can(bro with Jeremy and sharing girls path), and i dont remember stumbling into any humiliating scenes, you know what i remember tho?
Jeremy finishing first in a threesome with Alison and going away while Alison commenting how much better Ian is and they keep fucking.
Pretty much every girl at some point will remark on how good Ian is in bed, i'm pretty sure even Lena says at some point that "it was the best sex" or something and she dated Axel.
When you stumble into something that you consider Humiliating on purpose i dont think it counts, you as a player have too much control of what you can say or do after all.
Now if he was forced to be humiliated all the time i would get your point, but that not his character in this game, hell, there is even "chad Ian" variable in the game that has points.

Ivy is canonically "Lena's closest friend and the only one she still keeps from her high school years". It's right there in her bio in the Agenda. In contrast Louise and Lena are said to be "good friends" in Louise's entry.

You don't have to put on the red light.

Ian's father is clearly based on Jordan Peterson. But what about Perry? Is he based on Neil Druckmann?

Nah.

Beard and a man-bun don't = same. Just equals douche.

Guys, my saves simply disapeared... Do you know where I can find them?

Wade is reminding me of Ashley's dad in GGGB and it just gets worse every chapter.
Either he's got issues that he's hiding that are causing him serious deppression, and needs to talk to someone about it, or he's an annoying man-child that needs to recognize what he's got before he (rightfuly) loses it.
I don't feel even a little bad for stealing Cindy at this point.

Well, something weird is happening...
When I open v.10 Alpha and at this directory, all my saves are gone. But when I open v0.9 Remastered, all my saves are there. Is there a way to fix it?

There are some problems with your framing here. Firstly, Ian is one of the two protagonists and much of the game is witnessed from his point of view. So obviously he gets more screen time and there is more visibility in all areas of his life, including the humiliating moments, when compared to Axel and Jeremy.

As for Jeremy, there are a few instances where he can be humiliated. Beyond the song that you mentioned, if Lena snitches on him to Louise then he ends up in a very awkward situation. Others have given more examples. It is already being set up for Ian to defeat him in the MMA tournament, which will no doubt be embarrassing for him.

Axel is a villain and the main rival for Ian. We are only around halfway through the story. It would be counterproductive to have his downfall occur before the conflict has even started. Be patient.

And to name another example, how about Seymour getting coffee thrown all over him? He is the most powerful character in the game and yet is still not invincible. If you don't want a beta Ian who constantly gets humiliated, don't play him that way. It really is that simple.

It's not there quite yet to the point of having a consistent style. Ideally it'll get to a point where you can upload a variety of photos of a certain art style, then a variety of images of a specific character defined by the program with face, hair and body proportions and features, then a photo you want to replicate using that character (or characters) with the defined art style, assigning a character to each person in the photo (or, hell, even stickfigure drawing) to match the positioning.

Maybe in a few years, though you may have to pay out the ass for the services until they can properly get jailbroken/pirated.

I'm sure the tech exists now, though not in a way accessible to the general public, figuring out the best ways to monetize to the highest bidder (starting with film studios, ect) + with a bunch of lawyers & public relations looking through potential legal/ethics concerns. Technicians are likely also still needed to customize the programming to fit the individual project's needs & the programs' quirks, till the technology becomes a more robust one-size-fits-all tool.

Currently the only ones accessible to the gen public generally have a fixed set of pre-existing styles, focus mainly on stylizing the face, and/or warp inconsistently from shot to shot. Guess you could make a game with that, but imo it would grow tiring from a viewer perspective, like a bad art project (of which there are plenty of on this site already). With currently available technology, I'd find it about as off-putting as those html games where the model keeps changing or like another bad Daz3d game taking place mainly in uncanny valley.

Fair enough. Ian is a way better option than Wade at this point. Ian is doing a favour to Wade, as it is better to cheat with Ian instead of let the poor Cindy on Axel's hands

Even if you try to keep Cindy from doing model poses and try to dissuade her, in the end she ends up half-naked in front of Axel.

I do not know the reason for it but you might want to see if in your AppData\Roaming\RenPy\ folder there is another Red String folder (other than RedString-1574621830). If there is, you could try to copy and paste the content there in the RedString-1574621830 location and see if it works.

If Ian's girlfriend Lena can regularly wind up fully naked in front of many artists and photographers, then Wade will survive his girlfriend getting half naked in front of one photographer. It's hardly the end of the world. /s

It seems like after having sex with Cherry once you have to have sex with her the 2nd time you meet her which reduces you points with Lena because fucking Perry the bitch can't keep his mouth shut. Am I right or is there a way to sleep with Cherry only once?
Also, does having sex with Emma a couple of times takes points from your relationship with Lena at some point?

Those points are easily made up if you are honest with Lena.

If Ian has sex with Allison or Cherry in the first meeting, then he will 100% have sex with one of them in the encounter you say, so fucking Perry will bring it up when Lena is at Ian's house.

You can destroy Emma's big ass and use her mouth as a pussy if you want, Lena won't notice it, hence you won't loss any point. Too bad you can't destroy her ass in the bathroom of the bar while you are in a relationship with Lena on episode 10.
