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

[Leongen43]

Yeah, Ian's friends need a little bit of nudge to get going. I prefer Cherry over Emma for Perry. It feels like Emma will use him for his dad's connection to politics and she does it for a bit.

That would make her rather callous and insincere, which couldn't be further from who Emma is imo. She must know he has zero interest in politics, no? I think she's just avoiding the issue just as much as Perry for the same reason; fear. She also needs a nudge from Ian. Not nearly as much as Perry but still.

You're right, Emma is an activist who is against many of Perry's father's policies, making a relationship with Perry complicated, and I will never let the pikachu have Emma's beautiful ass, I would have liked to have a serious one. with Emma, it's a shame it's not possible, right?

They can start having a relationship by pushing them from Ian's side. To be honest I prefer Emma as a friend or a FWB. Perry can have Cherry if that's possible.

Wait, there is a cameo for the patrons? I checked Patreon just now, €150 . They better get a lewd scene with their favourite LI.

Yeah considering all spots have been taken, the two dudes who tip Lena (bartender job) seemed like the cameos of the supporters.

Finley and John? hmmm possibly.

Damn. At €150 a pop, Lena better get all the "guest stars" in a circle & suck them off 1 by 1 while jacking off another two in waiting at some time before the end of development. "Lena got me a drink!" or "I got to text her about an art show!" just doesn't cut it.

Pimping 2D to 3D XD

The hook are the many choices that actually matter and are referenced later on, allowing for a limitless amount of playthroughs. Especially because of the ability to control two main characters. No porn game offers that level of complexity. Ian can become a chad, a cuck or everything between. With Lena there is the familiar corruption customisation like in GGGB, you can control everyone of her escapades - or let her be grounded and wholesome. The rest of the cast acts and reacts around them accordingly. Since you loved GGGB, you likely appreciate the corruption aspects and customising Lena, but it certainly isn'tt centered around her, Lena and Ian are but a part of the setting.
Dunno if its for you, I don't know what you are searching for.

I am looking for interesting stuff. You convinced me that it's worth my time, but only when I have a lot of time to spend on it. For what I have tried and what people say, this game is something that I will only appreciate after a very long time playing. If I get there, it will probably be amazing.

But I have a lot of hobbies and playing porn games for dozens of hours is not exactly my thing, at least, if I don't have a strong hook from the start.

I have this idea that success went to her head (Eva Kiss I mean), I don't think the dialogues are so good or the writting really clever. Great writting is a very strong hook for me. I don't feel that here.

There's probably quality in the writting, in the details, the complexity, the choices and the connections, right?

Anyway. I mean, it sounds interesting. I'll play it eventually. Thank you.

Honestly the biggest red flag for Cindy is that she has "live, laugh, love" framed in her room.

Next to it there is a marijuana leaf and if you look closely it seems to be shit Wade, who the hell puts a plant that size next to the bed too unless it's marijuana, right?

If I'm honest, I never pay too much attention to it, it's because my eyes are fixed on Cindy's ass that I like to break (fuck you, Wade), that's why, right?

Just wondering, has there been any Patreon supporter cameo in the game up till now?

Yeah considering all spots have been taken, the two dudes who tip Lena (bartender job) seemed like the cameos of the supporters.

Yup those are Cameos. Every character is cameo except GGGB cast. EK mentioned it in some Q&A forgot which one was it. She didn't specifically named them but right after that Q&A we got these cameos.

So, Elli might be limited to cameo only, but EK is keeping track of her variables, but she did it with others cameo characters too and used only to tease Ian in specific routes and Elli variable was also used to tease IIRC.
So, can't say how much part they will play in the story.

You sure it's not WADE! Given how he is living his life!

I'm wondering what's the dev's plans for Eli are. Is she a later game romance addition for Lena or just a few quick scenes between them. Will she be used to show Lena just how bad Seymour's business practices are by making her lose her job?

Can be. There are many possibilities but knowing EK we may get a surprise in Lena's POV of CH12 or in coming chapters. OR these characters might be only limited to teasing. If I'm being honest I don't really know what EK wants to do with story at this point, is she doing this to keep story mysterious? might be. It is correct way to do things? may be? Am I being skeptical? Absolutely. EK done every almost thing opposite to what she said in Q&A. So I'd rather just wait till something major is revealed in story after the beach trip.

I'm thinking chapter 12 is focused on the beach party and mma, 13 will be to cement relationships and 14 will have them move in together/career focused. I just have no idea how this will be done to maximize the drama for the future payoff.

Most of the drama seems like it will either be connected to whether Lena got with Ian or Axel. Or Wade's relationship with Cindy. I'm having a hard time coming up with anything for the other pairings (well besides Mike).

Lol what? It's a maple leaf.

The plant next to Cindy's bed was a joke but I guess you didn't realize, the painting is a marijuana leaf if you look closely.

I mean your not wrong. Almost everything she said she wanted/didn't want to do she ends up doing the opposite.

Says she has no plans on adding more characters as the cast is already full. What does she do? Add more characters ala cameos or one offs with no explaining why she just went against her own claim.
Doesn't want to make ORS in essence GGGB2. What happens? Pretty much is heading towards GGGB2 in terms of everything.

To me, and this is meer speculation, EK doesn't have confidence in her storytelling. It started off well at the beginning, but somewhere between Wade's rework and Stan's "rework" something happened. It almost seems she lost that fire and that confidence to stay true to her own version of her story and instead look what we have now. Pandered content, left field cameos, reworkings with no rhyme or reasoning. I also think part of the problem is that she is listening way too much to her patrons in their demands of things. Like it almost seems she "tries" to appease the 'vocal' elements but in essence continuely move away further and further from the story she wants just to keep that steady income.

I also think another part of the problem is that she pushes herself onto deadlines of 'wanting to put out and update in 4 months' or so. Not to mention her constant issue with writers block and what not. Personally, I think EK should take a step back from this game a bit and recalibrate herself. Stop trying to appease everyone. Cause hell, her appeasing has left those of us who have been waiting ever so patiently for Ian-Ivy to happen completely jaded from the game. Stop pushing herself on deadlines. If the update or chapter takes 5-6 months or more then so be it. Not to mention, not EVERY update has to have a whole bunch of sexual content. There are some VNs out there now, Projekt: Passion for example, that had maybe 1-2 lewd moments but had story and character progression. A bit of fan service or teasings is all well and fine, but lets be honest the story hasn't picked up. It's been dogged by cameos and pandered content. And I'm likely gonna be in the minority here, and likely some people trying to slap me around (jokes on them I'm into that shit), but I think ORS and EK need a bit of recalibrating here.

 

[SerHawkes]

What the hell happened with your sigs?

Fixed them. Didn't notice them till now. Oddness abound.

I doubt Elli is a cameo. Character is far too hot (no offense to patreons, but Occam's razor/Law of averages). Unless this is another situation like DasHole's where a patreon's designed character was awarded a spot of some sort. But I doubt that.

 

[dontcarewhateverno]

I think Eli (Elli?) is likely another lesbian relationship alt to whatshername for Lena, due to whatshername's failing out of the Crazy/Hot diagram. Maybe a Lena/Ian threesome prospect, too.
