Also it is really difficult to make a serious character analysis of Eva, like I said she's very malleable. With relatively few interactions from the player she can range from loyal girfriend to Dave, to Ash's lesbian waifu or hardcore submissive, to BBC addicted quasi-bimbo, to junkie cumdumpster of a bunch of gangsters, etc. I don't think you can say all of that was always in her from the start like Jack tries to argue, maybe she's just not a very cohesively written character, or at best her insecurities made her very influenceable by whoever happened to be in a position to manipulate her. Also to be clear none of this is meant to be an excuse for Eva's cheating and other terrible things she can do, being weak-willed may be a cause for a lack of moral integrity, but it is not an excuse.
I think it's hard to make a character analysis of Eva because most of her storylines are the weakest of any of the major characters in GGGB. Like you said, it requires very little input from Ash to get Eva to a specific result other than the BBC bimbo, which requires a modicum of encouragement from Ash. Eva's fall pales in comparison to Jess or Jack's redemptions because it happens so fast whereas with the later two we see them realize that perhaps they are missing something in their lives and that their lifestyles aren't sustainable, eventually turning it around. Eva's downfall is snort some coke at a party, cum dumpster for a gang the next. No variable to get her and Jack to hookup, she never becomes friends with Jess even though their lifestyles and personalities are similar, etc.

You got me on that, call it professional deformation. However, your main argument was that corruption was happening only through manipulation or coercion, so I was disproving that.

If Ivy was the only one contributing to Holly's corruption thanks to her manipulation, how would you explain that Ivy's same mean and coercive suggestions even with encouragement from Lena are rendered completely useless if Holly is dating Ian? Obviously it's not enough, Holly needs to be in the right mindset to be okay with those suggestions, and that mindset is affected by primarily Ian and Lena (even if they were NPCs).

It wasn't my intention to diminish Ivy's clearly significant role in Holly's corruption, only to showcase that Lena's role as a gentle guiding force is much more important (if Ian rejected her obviously) to Holly's corruption and she doesn't need to resort to manipulation or coercion, only encouragement but ultimately allowing Holly to make her own decisions. Ivy provides opportunities, sure, but whether Holly takes those opportunities and listens to Ivy's advice is mainly decided by Lena's direct or indirect influence because Holly always looks up to Lena as an example and she values her words over Ivy's. I hope that I managed to make myself clear at least on that.
I mean he is kinda right a little bit if holly want to be like ivy and is single I am not really sure if I would call that corruption if its her dream to be like ivy or lena.

The thing that I would call corruption is if holly is in her dream relationship with ian and than somehow slowly gets pushed by lena and ivy into a dircetion that she first feels very uncomfortable with but than slowly starts to enjoy it and becomes more and more daring and her lust get over her head and feelings thats what I would call corruption.

or if cindy more and more gets pushed to test her limits by axel/ivy even if she is in a relationship with ian or wade same with alison and so on....

I dont now if I would call a single women that wants to be like lena gets pushed a little bit corruption but we are only in chapter 10 so there are a lot of things that COULD happen in the future so i would be very careful to compare it to GGGB at the moment.I just hope eva dosent make a time skip because that would destroy all the fundation for the story lines that she layed out at the moment.


Wade is in Ivy's league simply for dating Cindy who is above Ivy's league (proven by Wildcats). And we all know Ivy is a sore loser, so she might use Wade to somehow fuck with Cindy's life.
I think ivy and cindy are in the same league and to be honest they both have the same personalitie

-normaly get everything they want with a finger snap
-both incredible hot like the lead cheerleader
-both have a big ego
-both seem to get bitchy if things dont go their way
-both all about winning
-both sore losers
and so on.......

they have very simmular personalities thats why I am very hyped about the drama between them and I am very courous
what mean thing ivy has in her box of tricks for cindy it will be the best drama and catfight ever:devilish::devilish::devilish: I have very high hopes for the mud fight between them and I hope that hate relationship/competition will go on for long time and will be a option to push cindy down the corruption hole.

As I understand it, all animations are ready, eliminates system errors and other trifles. It remains a drawing, Eva does not do it as we know. The finish line is close, gentlemen.

wtf is your problem dude
when a game is completed it says in the header of the thread. So no, it is not completed. You will know when it is completed because you will see in blue, the tag completed, beside the tags - VN/Renpy/Completed. It is so easy to know that you don't even need to deep dive, just look up the header of the game thread.

On a real note, I would expect at least a month and a half, it could be longer it could be shorter, more likely the former though. All just speculation though. The major scenes are almost done, it seems like at least half of the scenes are written and most of the artwork is completed.

I understand what you are saying, I agree that Ian and Lena are a fundamental part of any transformations Holly goes through because their soft influence is what gets her to come out of her shell in the first place. Even if she had somehow met Ivy without Lena, she wouldn't really listen to anything Ivy says because Holly's "shell" and Ivy's rather aggressive attitude would have inevitably driven a wedge between them.
I'm glad that we can at least agree on this. With the rest, still no progress, but it's fine. Your criteria for corruption is based on actions and attitude (coercion / manipulation) from a necessary third party. And mommysboi's criteria for some reason seems to include NTR that he views as a necessary part... My criteria is simply the difference from where the character starts and where they end, regardless of the intent to corrupt, the attitude or the actions taken or even a third party involved because I view corruption as a path that leads towards the outcome significantly different from where the character started due to various circumstances. For example, having a shameful repressed kink and then growing into accepting it simply from watching porn in my eyes constitutes as self-induced corruption. Like Ash being influenced by incest porn to seduce her father.

I've read multiple stories that featured different styles / ways of corruption. One stood out to me (and is my favorite) - where the good, moral protagonist tries to be a good supportive friend or lover, and then they end up triggering a corruption path for other characters perhaps even unwillingly or reluctantly, having the best intentions in mind, ultimately corrupting themselves as well in the process because their awareness of normality changes to previously unthinkable status quo. I call it "mutual corruption" because both characters end up influencing each other.

For example, let's imagine this situation (my last attempt to prove that there's more to corruption):

Lena opens up to Ian about being blackmailed by Seymour crying to him that she doesn't know what else to do and that she wants to break away but doesn't know how and considering the poor and unstable situation with her jobs, she can only find comfort that it gives her the opportunity to keep sending money to her parents. In this scenario Seymour is not so much a corruptive force but said unexpected circumstance for Ian and Lena to deal with. And Ian, being the supportive and understanding boyfriend that he wants to be, not seeing the immediate way out and feeling pretty useless, tries to do the only thing he can - comfort Lena and take her worries away to the best of his ability. He tells her that the situation is horrible and he wishes he knew what to do, and they'll try to figure it out as a team but in the moment he wants her to feel safe around him and he lets her know that she doesn't have to fear judgment from him, that no matter what she was coerced into, it wouldn't be her fault even if the animal part of her was deep down enjoying the experience. And if it helped her feel better, she could share what occured on her encounters, which he'd obviously keep secret, firstly to help her follow the non-disclosure agreement while having support system at home, and secondly to salvage her new crazy sexual experience to arouse each other. Fast forward to Lena accepting her situation, with Ian's help learning to let go and enjoy her sessions with Seymour because of how turned on being in a submissive role made her, Ian even telling her to act more seductive around Seymour to feel at least somewhat in control while they're together. And Lena would in time actually be happy with her situation, using easy money to spoil Ian and sort her financial difficulties, helping her parents, even buying fancy equipment to pursue her singing passion. And if Emma-ex-machina found a way to actually get rid of Seymour, she'd feel reluctant to disrupt her newfound happiness, and Ian could tell her that if she wanted to stop, he'd be happy to help to finally rescue her out of her trap, but if she actually loved her new lifestyle and didn't want to let go, then he'd be supportive of that as well, considering how much fun it brought to their relationship.

So, in this hypothetical scenario, who gets to actually corrupt Lena? Is it Seymour with his coercion lucky enough that Ian unknowingly is playing into his hand? Or is it actually Ian, with his misguided attempt to help Lena feel better about her blackmail, causes the change in Lena's mindset? Would you agree that the change in mindset is the key factor for corruption to happen? If not, then I guess let's agree to disagree and stop it at that :)

but this dosent make sens if ian starts as a normal guy and than has his fitness jurney and than beaing more like axel i would not call that corruption at all it seems like for you as long as a cheracter change different from his starting point it is considert corruption. Which I would definitly not agree with.

And mommysboi's criteria for some reason seems to include NTR that he views as a necessary part...
ntr and corruption kinda go hand in hand I mean we are talking about a erotic game so we talking about sexual corruption about sexual lust and desire.
So ofc if a cheracter gets corrupted and change their sexual desire and lust its very likely that they start cheating if they need more and more to satisfire their lust and greed or even develop a cheating kink that they like the rush of getting caught up in the act.

Wouldn't Ashley from GGGB disprove that though? She can break up with Eric long before she starts having sex with Jess, Jack, Wilson, Jasmin, or anyone else. Before she finds out that she can enjoy choking, cum play, gang bangs, anal or other "taboo" sex.

That right there shows that there are a lot of ways to "corrupt" someone without NTR. Corruption depends entirely on the starting perspective of the character, and how the perspective twists and folds as the story progresses.

I would not say that without ntr there is no corruption ofc a single women or men can be corrupted but ntr plays a big part with corruption especially if ian or lena are in a relationship which can be the case or cheracters like holly,cindy,alsion that can probably have corruption too in the future and they can also be in a relationship.

I think its very unlikly if a cheracters that is sexually corrupted and is very lustful and keeps seeking more and more and more sexual kicks that they stay loyal at all because their lust and desires already took over them this is why its called corruption because there primal instinct for pleasure completly took control over their Brain ,logical thinking, decision making and love feelings thats why I said corruption and ntr kinda goes hand in hand if in a realationship.

Seymour 100% lol.

Again the key difference to me is that Ian and Lena could get into cuckholdry and submissive plays without a nasty old man actually blackmailing Lena into it as the catalyst of their change. Change in itself is not corruption to me, and almost all change is impossible without external influences, so exerting some influence that results in change alone is not the same as "corrupting someone". The point where "change" and "influence" crosses the line into "corruption" is when it becomes pressure intentionally applied against the best interests of self-determination of a person.

I have never denied that change isn't a prerequisite of corruption, I have only argued that not all change (and so not all influence) is corruption. I think the core of our disagreement is that I attribute to the act of "corrupting" a degree of malice, or at the very least recklessness, it is not something someone can "innocently" be the culprit of. You on the other hand argue the opposite, that corruption is merely any influence that results in change, and so whoever has the most influence is always the "most guilty" of corrupting a person.

It is the argument of "culpability" vs "responsability", is someone that is unwittingly an accessory for a crime just as guilty as the actual criminal just because they were an essential part of the execution of said crime?

Could also relate this to the paradox of tolerance, an influential person that wishes to not "corrupt" another would be careful to not "weaponize" their influence into a form of pressure, but if their goal is to protect the integrity of a person who already has many other agents seeking to corrupt them in one way, the best they could actually do is not to remain neutral with their influence, but rather turn it into pressure on the opposite direction as a balancing factor. That's why, for instance, many models and athletes are often invited to make PSAs regarding body positivity and self-esteem to counteract the bullying that often borrows from their image and influence to affect the victims.

So, to me, in your example, Ian's ideal course of action to help Lena may have been to push her in the opposite direction to balance out Seymour's corruption. His failure to do that may turn him into a "useful idiot" that through his soft support may accidentally lend his significative influence over Lena to assist Seymour's corruption. Does that make him responsible for the changes Lena goes through? Somewhat. Does it make him guilty of corrupting her? In my opinion it does not.

But this might just be a difference of opinion that we have, and I'm okay to agree to disagree, it was still a very interesting discussion to me :) .

Wade is in Ivy's league simply for dating Cindy who is above Ivy's league (proven by Wildcats)
Two points here: One, Cindy was selected over Ivy for Wildcats because they specifically wanted a new face, something an established model like Ivy simply isn't. It doesn't mean Cindy is above Ivy's league, merely that there's one point where she has advantage (but the reverse side of this is, she's at disadvantage if the situation was reversed)

And two, if Cindy's attraction is supposed to prove anything, then it maybe shows that Wade was in Ivy's league. Considering Cindy has currently very serious doubts whether she wants to have anything to do with him anymore.

Not just different but has a more relaxed view on morality: feeling neutral or positive about promiscuity / obsessed with a certain fetish / cheating (but not necessarily) / willing to betray his ideals for temptation. Basically willing to do something that he would either criticize other people for or at least be worried for them at the start of the game. For example, he can joke about Perry being a voyeur (when he says he's okay just looking at Cherry without making a move on her), meaning that he thinks that voyeurism is a bit weird and probably shameful if it's with a girl you like. And yet, when Jeremy sends him photos of Alison being naughty, his lust overcomes him and he himself becomes a voyeur. That is the obvious example of corruption because Ian feels guilty pleasure about Jeremy sending pics of Alison without her permission.

And yes, if Ian starts acting like a selfish asshole (and he considers Axel to be a selfish asshole), then it's corruption of Ian. Now, if he simply becomes a player but is open and respectful about it, accepting rejections and not pushing anybody, and not acting jealous towards girls he sleeps with, then I wouldn't call it corruption because while he'd be a player, yes, he'd be a morally responsible player who doesn't hurt anybody with his actions (including his friends who might have a crush on said girls, like Emma). It's just evolution of Ian who wants to be more confident and doesn't want to hurt himself with Gillian 2.0.

I think its very unlikly if a cheracters that is sexually corrupted and is very lustful and keeps seeking more and more and more sexual kicks that they stay loyal at all because their lust and desires already took over them this is why its called corruption because there primal instinct for pleasure completly took control over their Brain ,logical thinking, decision making and love feelings thats why I said corruption and ntr kinda goes hand in hand if in a realationship.
A corrupted person in a relationship might want to corrupt their partner, too, so they can both enjoy mindless sex and various debaucheries, be it via swinging or open relationship or a cuckold lifestyle. A corrupted individual doesn't mean 100% selfish individual without any integrity. They can still love their partner, but want sexual freedom, too. And if their partner doesn't share their view and acts jealous, they can break up (or take a break like Cindy did with Wade).

I have never denied that change isn't a prerequisite of corruption, I have only argued that not all change (and so not all influence) is corruption. I think the core of our disagreement is that I attribute to the act of "corrupting" a degree of malice, or at the very least recklessness, it is not something someone can "innocently" be the culprit of. You on the other hand argue the opposite, that corruption is merely any influence that results in change, and so whoever has the most influence is always the "most guilty" of corrupting a person.

It is the argument of "culpability" vs "responsability", is someone that is unwittingly an accessory for a crime just as guilty as the actual criminal just because they were an essential part of the execution of said crime?
Okay, I hear where you're coming from. Obviously the actual criminals are guilty while others can share responsibility but not the blame, it's not even a discussion. I guess our difference lies in who we see as the criminal in this analogy. You think it's the person doing the corruption, but I see the person being corrupted as a future criminal on their villain arc (IF they end up doing bad / irresponsible things according to their own starting morality). And because the person is on their villain arc I just don't see much point in finding the person guilty for making them a criminal (aka "We live in a society"), criminals aren't always pressured or coerced to do the crime, they choose to act based on external influence and their internal justification but they can only blame themselves for making that choice to go through with the crime.

One last thing (it's too engaging :LOL:). If you think of a person doing the corrupting as a criminal it paints the person getting corrupted as an innocent victim which robs them of agency. They're a human being with their own agency and they're making a choice when they do bad or irresponsible things. Lena can't blame Seymour for making her cheat on Ian (the moral action here is either to break up with Ian or just be honest with him and explain her problem if he promises to keep it a secret) or blame Jeremy's dick for making her treat Louise like trash and gaslight her into becoming a cuckquean. Just like Jeremy can't blame Lena for making him a bad friend to Ian or poor boyfriend to Louise if he can't man up to reject her and do the right thing. Just like Ian can't blame Cindy for being sexy or Wade for being a bad boyfriend or Axel for making his moves on her if he ends up banging Cindy and betraying Wade. Well, they can but it just wouldn't be mature or convincing.
