VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch. 13.1 BETA] [Eva Kiss]

[BlandChili]

so there is no way to play the full game only as a male or a female MC?

You mean as only one or the other? Then no, you have to play both their perspectives.

 

[Living In A Lewd World]

I'm trying both options. It seems that the choice of solutions was changed in the previous parts, now it is difficult to find the right one.

I believed it worked for me, but I just checked the Beta-Version with a save file, that I made on that position, and it didn't work.
I think, I saved this also in the alpha version, so either the lust factor that was needed to make this decision was raised from alpha to the beta-Version or it is really a bug.

but is the same story or two different stories? I dont like games where you change the MC but I really like this art

 

[MattShizzle]

Can't wait to play this later. Already got it a few hours ago on Patreon but haven't had the chance.

It's only one story where you alternate between the two MCs.

Discussed this on the Discord earlier today. Here's the breakdown on the requirements for the LenaxHolly and LenaxHollyxIvy scenes.

LenaxHollyxIvy - 1)[ian_lena_dating = false] or 2)[v8_holly_strip = True] and [ian_lena_over = True].
LenaxHolly - 1)[ian_holly_dating = False] and [ian_lena_over = True] or 2)[ian_lena_dating = False].

So essentially it breaks down like this: If Lena and Ian are dating, Lena can't participate in either scene regardless of any other situation. If Lena and Ian were dating, but Lena breaks it off with Ian because he kissed Holly AND she didn't forgive him for it, she can then participate in either scene. Lastly, if Lena/Ian broke up and Ian had sex with Holly, then Lena can only participate in the scene with Ivy. Hope that clears things up.

We (all of us) had already discussed this (the why Jeremy/Mike yes and Holly no thing), so I wont talk about that again.. but.. this feels bad/wrong man

That means threesome must work if Lena/Ian not dating, just hooking. Weird..

Did you read my other post? "just hooking" is not a thing, if you keep playing Ian/Lena then the game sets the dating variable regardless of how you interpret their relationship.

I know, I agree. Doesn't seem that it's going to be changed at all, so the best we can hope for is that Eva added some in game monologue/dialog to have it make more sense as to why the scenes are blocked now. I plan on playing through the final later tonight, so I guess we'll see.

Sorry, just read it. It's just taking more time to translate from Eng to my native language. So...no threesome.
It turns out that under certain conditions, this scenario for Lena is a "red line", which she does not violate.
But Ivy/Holly scene still good and Holly corruption line is open, I think.

BlandChili is correct. There is no "just hooking up" variable. If Ian and Lena go on the date in Chapter 4 then the ian_lena_dating variable gets set to True. That variable is maintained for the rest of the game up to this point. The only way ian_lena_dating gets offset is if ian_lena_over becomes 'True' which requires Ian to kiss/sleep with Holly.

Now it is clear. This path (F+F+F in 0.8)is closed. Never tried the Ian / Holly way, it seems too vanilla to me. Holly in my version is just a friend to Ian.

To watch the scene you can still use the gallery-function of JDMOD.

So, the way I understand it, there doesn't appear to be a plan for LenaxIanxHolly threesome?

At least it's hard to spot currently. To get Lena/Holly, Lena either has to have never dated Ian or break up with him after he does nasty things with Holly.

In the alpha it seemed like the kiss+forgive path was it, but as mentioned that means that Lena will keep dating Ian thus making Holly unavailable to her.

 

[Deleted member 563623]

I wonder, does the choice with Ed (being honest with him so he finds Lena online, or having Lena use sex appeal on him to get her way) have much bearing at this point? And going forward? I always wondered where it was going but it doesn't seem to have had a major impact yet.

I'm redoing my main playthrough now and i'd hate to end up on the wrong (i.e. less pervy, less content) path because of such an early game choice.
