I can't believe that after playing this game, which I've paid a lot of attention to over a long time, that I didn't even notice when playing Shy Girl. To be fair, it's not a super uncommon situation in games on this site, though it being a literal copy is obviously different than a common trope. Based scene though.

People really going into every game with cheating/NTR and stirring up a fuss. There's a thousand vanilla games out there, yet people march on in here trying to take what little we have. NTR fans are the most disadvantage persons in the history of personhood. :cool:

EDIT: I know waiting sucks, so I don't fault anyone for wishing things took less time. Just need to remain positive/polite in feedback. As someone who has artwork of them set to appear in game I'm super excited, but I personally don't want to see it a moment before it's fully ready as Eva sees fit. :100:

Here are some basics back to the topic, though. Eva has made two games. In 2/2 games, she's intentionally created scenarios where a male character jerks off to a girl he's either into or dating getting railed by a huge black dick. (Also worth noting with Alison that she's also still into Ian emotionally, not Jeremy, even if she's screwing J). On top of that, both games feature multiple paths with female MC screwing around on her boyfriend (both committed and non) with a host of other guys. There are enough paths where you can avoid all of this, but plenty of paths where it's a huge part of the game, too. Given the rarity of that situation in the vast majority of non-cuck/NTR games and the host of fetishes she could've included but didn't, it's hard to conclude this wasn't one of the variety of demographics she was trying to hit when designing them. Even if the second game doesn't yet have an outright, checks-every-single-column-on-the-list cuck path that the first game did, the elements are still very much there.

So, sorry, guys! You're playing a cuck game! lol. Nah. I'm not saying that at all. But I think that's what some people fear. "How will I think of myself now?!?" Which is why they're so aggressive about it.

But you are playing a game with a multitude of paths and an aim to please a multitude of people. Deal with it.

For the sanity of the forum, this pragmatic take is probably the more constructive way to debate it, rather than trying to find a definite answer on what fits or doesn’t fit within a definition, especially when it comes to NTR. :D

In a way it doesn’t really matter either. After all, I doubt anyone plays the game with a check list of their top kink by their side, checking the boxes as the game progresses, before finally looking down on the list with a lustful stare, whispering “kink bingo” as they put their hand down into their pants.

The thing I like about the ORS content we're debating, is that so many elements are thrown into the mix, and the characters don’t really know what they’re doing, what they want, or why they want it.

For Ian I think it starts with his slightly resigned state after the breakup with Gillian, where he can’t stop thinking about her and what happened, or looking at old pictures of her. Then the chance to watch pictures and videos of Alison appears, together with the chance to secretly subscribe to Lena’s Stalkfap. But while his motive obviously is to watch nudes of two hot women he knows, it also involves watching his best friend plow a girl he likes, and reading explicit comments from random guys on nudes of the other girl he likes. And who even took those photos, while they had her naked body with her legs spread in front of them?

Alison is a similar mix of elements: A bad breakup, low self esteem, really likes Ian but also really wants to feel desired and have sex again, wants to show Ian what he’s missing … *mixes ingredients in bowl* … voilà, a video of Alison having a threesome for Ian’s viewing pleasure.

And Lena: Another bad breakup, tired of everyone expecting her to be reasonable and responsible, kinda desperate for money, loves to be desired, seems to be really good at justifying her bad behaviour once she gets started … *mixes ingrendients again* … nude modelling career that's spinning out of control, making dudes cheat left, right and center, ready to step over lines in a relationship with Ian, with our without his consent (or give his voyeuristic desire plenty of visual fuel if they're not in a relationship).

And in the middle of it (amongst others) we have Jeremy, who's so weak willed that he's mostly just led along by others, and his main motivation seems to be to prove to others (and himself) that he's a ladies man, and to Ian that he's got a monster cock … *ingredients in bowl* … local man creates gigantic collection of homemade porn vids, shares everything with best friend

That whole mix doesn't end up with "a man whose wife is unfaithful", but I (tl;dr) absolutely agree that NTR/cucking is a part of the mix, and at least that those paths are designed to satisfy a very certain demographic of fans.

Oof those news hit deep. I don't care for Ian content and mostly skip it anyway, so I guess for me the game continues, at the most optimistic timeline, around January, most likely 2 - 4 months later.

Iunno. The work is high quality, but there is a point where time for updates vs quality starts outweighing the pros that quality brings. And with how the other games are evolving I am feeling Eva's work dropping from high quality to above average quality. Eh, back to lurking.

Most often I really don't understand where these really specific estimates come from. The last update came out towards the end of April, the latest status report confirms the 9.5 version will be out in August. That's four months, and a lot of the art and planning for the second part is likely already completed, so January is rather a very pessimistic estimate. The worst case scenario of your "most likely" timeline means Eva will use more than twice as much time to do less work than for the first part of the chapter.

Wait, are you saying that you've made some of the artwork for the next chapter of Our Red String?

Oh if he's only making a few bucks then he can steal other work no problem :LUL:

Kinda joking, we're not the best to speak on a pirate site.

Probably he is a 17 years old boy who is trying to make some little money.

Yep. The rip-off is lame and I hate the art and faces on the models. But this kid is bringing in a whopping $117 a month which probably comes down to working for a buck an hour, tops. Highly doubt he's zooming around in a new corvette with a custom license plate titled "PAYD-4BY-EVK". He should delete/edit the scene as that's very uncool, but I doubt his game is really going anywhere enough to warrant much concern beyond that.

I think they meant the cameo feature. There is a $150 tier where the benefit is to make it into the game as a minor character / cameo. The Art Gallery guy and the Record Store manager are the examples of these cameos, their sprites were drawn based on the photos sent by patrons.

Yeah, that's what I figured was most likely after I had posted it. Just remembered Eva’s comments about outsourcing the line work for some of the least important drawings, and thought it might be a possibility.

There’s also a third one working at the restaurant who steps in when Axel has his temper tantrum, right? And the dog that’s currently only in the game files will be another one, I seem to remember having read one time I was lurking in the shadows of Discord.
