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

Sadly that's not the case in ORS.
They are already used in-game and their variables are stored especially Jack's variable is clearly hinting at future scenes lena_jack_dating variable in files, also other cameos variable are also used to tease Ian so they might be used for just teasing or we may get content with them in future.

The said cameos are given proper role in main story at the expense of already present main story characters also not focusing on progressing story since ch10!

Really? Not much of a fan of characters who could have any number of endings being put in ORS.
Hope Eva knows what she is doing. The main cast already seems way too big to handle with all the possible outcomes so far.

Quick question.
If I have sex with Holly during the Book event, is that definitely the end of my relationship with Lena?
The broken heart icon makes me quite nervous, and the subsequent conversation in the cafe did not add much to my peace of mind.

Unfortunately, EK games force you to save often if you do not wish to commit to a path. So save at every decision step if you think you later wish to view the "path not taken".

Thanks for the quick reply, I make a backup save just to be sure.
It's a bit selfish of my Lena to condemn Ian for having sex with Holly when she herself has so much lesbian sex.

Nahh dun be silly...everyone knows lesbian sex isn't cheating....

I agree. She should focus on the LSD arc and use the others as occasional "sideshows". Though there are one or two people in this thread who disagree with me.

What if a straight man fucks a lesbian?
Is it cheating?

We already have more than a dozen possible love interests for Lena and Ian, plus all the storylines which they are involved. At some point Eva Kiss will have to realise adding more will make things overly complicated for herself.

*nod* And most of the "complications" follow a basic soap opera style and plot save for the LSD arc.

Where? She only has Ian and the rest are a bunch of loser trash and a violent toxic person, for now Ian is the only worthwhile option, maybe if in the future we had a girl as an option maybe Lena would have more options, right?

While i do agree that the male options for Lena sucks, and i prefer to keep Ian with Allison or Minerva, there are already lesbian options for Lena. Said options are much better and less toxic than all the shitty guys trying to bed her.

Ian has several options (Allison can be a Pr0 friend) to have a relationship but Lena does not unfortunately, with the exception of Ian her options suck like you said, I hope that changes because for now my options with Lena are Ian, corruption route or route Lesbian, the rest seems like garbage (Stan), right?

This feedback came up a lot in that update. It seems to be a plot-point Eva wants to stick with to shape her future vision of the story, but felt uneven to a lot of us. Noticeable early railroad in a game that isn't known for railroading much. Evidence that Holly is an important character for Eva in the story. Almost like a back-up protag in the way she handles her. In a sense, she is the main "corruption" story too though, for those wanting something similar to GGGB.

The lesbian interludes for Lena are good for me since it helps me to up her lust while keeping her either
1. celibate with regard to men except for her willing acceptance of Seymour's proposal. or
2. monogamous in a romantic relationship with Ian (who also benefits from Seymour) while again having willingly accepted Seymour's proposal....I am hoping they will both be Seymour's puppets with Ian manipulating Lena at the bidding of Seymour and other handlers he may designate.

Louise isn't any better than the toxic assholes in question. In fact, she's just as toxic, if not more. The only two good options are Ian and Holly.

Not wrong. Said this ages ago and I will keep saying it. Lena's romances, other than Ian, Holly, and Ivy to a small extent, are point blank trash and toxic. There is literally nothing good there other than 'Heh Lena's a slut, let me beat off my 2cm while I enjoy this cucking of Ian REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'.

Ian is the best fit romance wise while also indulgent on Lena being a sub side. Holly is just pure and wholesome and endearing. Throuple there would be great... BUT because true rational thinking wasn't applied and shitshow drama had to be forced, the throuple is gonna require a tight rope act.
Ivy... Sure, casual wise it's all well and good. But I think with Lena's influence to some extent she could keep Ivy in check and turn about things with her to form some measure of a relationship there. Sure, there is alot there with Ivy and all the fun time games and things she does and play at... But I don't think she is entirely heartless or neglectful though.

She already know, and the writer's block, story not progressing, etc. are results of that. When you try to accommodate a buncha characters in a short span, you'll run out of ideas quickly. Plus, how much content can you add in story one after another including new characters too.

Those Reddit AVN Awards are just a big circle jerk for a handful of top games by people who don't even play anything other than a handful of the top games. If it's not in the top 50 on Patreon 90% of the voters don't know the game.

I shit you not; about 70% of the categories were "Eternum vs Being a Dik" Because apparently those are the only 2 VN anyone who voted knows. Leap of Faith & Summer's gone and a couple of other major games got a very small number of mentions.

The only reason ORS even won anything is neither of those 2 games is hand drawn. Even though ORS is better than both of those games in multiple other areas like writing

Imo, any game that doesn't just tell the same goddamn bog standard story deserves an award. The (comparative) rarity of those honestly shows how creatively bankrupt the genre is.

Isn't writing subjective though? You may like it, some may like the other writing styles. Still, it was the first time that this was hosted and people are already giving feedback to make it better next time.

Can't fight against popularity though. HS-based games are famous for getting a lot of player base, I am not a fan of that type of design but I must admit. Their lewd rendering is top notch and Daz falls a bit short on that.

Also, if it eases you a bit; the games that won will not be featured in the next award ceremony. Other games will have a fighting chance and help broaden the taste and vision of fellow players.

l "Could be... But you're special too, €150 cameo... Your cock is special."
€150 cameo "Yeah...? Why?"
l "Because yours is the only one I won't fuck."
€150 cameo "Ahhhh!!"
"I couldn't help it... A deep, shameful lust jolted my body and with it incredible pleasure."

Phew, money well spent.

Damn. Throw me 95 bucks and I'll edit the whole game with Lena begging not to fuck you.
