Exactly, also to add the lena and Billy path hasn't started, gillian might get added somewhere along Ian's path, Ian x Cherry or Jess (if that's still happening) still has a lot more to it and finally EK
I wasn't being vague. Because you can't comprehend it just speaks to the fact that you don't actually understand creative work. Maybe you write greeting cards, poop out crappy commercial graphic design, or something like that (though I doubt you do any of those things either). But regardless, it's not the same thing.
I'm also interested in what you are talking about. Could you maybe elaborate on what you mean? You just sound like you are dismissing the point without actually having anything to counter it with.
Lena has played into Seymor's hands, so we have reached the climax of that story. Ian has chosen his dream girl and succeeded with her, so we have reached the climax there. Lena has ether chosen her man or chosen not to have one, so we have reached the climax there.
Yeah, it sucks. I think it's because the multi protagonist approach proved too complex and is causing too much time to be spent. I wish Eva made a simpler game like GGGB.
Way in the first post, I was replying to this: "So tell me again, how is it not "reality"? How come she still hasn't finished Ian's part 25 days after saying she is "finishing writing Ian's part?" "
This is literally just when the things are starting to get interesting. What will come from Ian having an affair with Cindy if he is with Lena? Hell, what will happen with Ian if he has an affair with Cindy behind Wade's back? What about his writing contest and his boss that he is hate-fucking behind her husbands back? What will come from Lena/Ian cheating behind Ian/Lena's back? All I'm saying is, if you expect this to be the climax of the story then that would be incredibly disappointing.
You literally said nothing with this. It's again just broad terms you are throwing around with 0 meaning. Yes, I do understand stuff gets changed all the time, that isn't the point. The point is that the Dev is clearly lacking with delivering the product and not doing anything to change.
I'm saying that your "proof" she wasn't working on it is bullshit, since that's not how writing works. Based on your responses, it seemed obvious that you did not understand that. But now, of course, you're changing the goalpost. I agree with this part: "the Dev is clearly lacking with delivering the product". But that's not what you claimed in the post I referred to and not what I was disputing.
She wasn't working on it for a week at least. The Dev literally said that XD. It's more likely she skipped 2 weeks because there is a missing timeframe between July 8th and 22nd where we got no status update until the 22nd where she said she is on a vacation.
You trying way too hard to look smart and as if you knew about writing process talking about RR Martin and Tolkien when we can tell you don't know the first thing about writing, pal.
We are long, long past “rushing” anything. Just as we are long, long past “impatience.” We are at stagnancy, while the money flows in at virtually the same rate, sans one throwaway month and trickling off patrons. It’s not my money, so that is what it is. I’m just talking about a creator filling progress reports with more reasons as to why there’s no progress for about a year and the obsequiousness/credulity towards that creator.
I wouldn't drastically separate the 2 stages and say that we're moving to resolutions. Act 1 is over or almost over, transitioning into Act 2, where the buildup that happened in Act 1 picks up the pace and moves into the different juicy scenarios. There will still be build-up but instead of "unlocking" love interests the game will focus on character development, not only of protagonists but NPC characters as well. There are still many more opportunities not only for exciting scenarios but also drama based on the existing paths crossing over. Perry is about to become Lena's colleague. Alison on Jeremy's path is becoming so naughty we can only guess where both Jeremy and Billy will lead her without Ian slowing her down. Holly is only happy to learn from Ivy / Ian and work on overcoming her shyness almost no questions asked. Ian is about to start working for Seymour's company and is going to move his "eskimo bro" status with Jeremy to the new level. Lena's life is about to change completely based on how she dealt with Seymour, and if she couldn't resist Axel, that really complicates her relationship with Ian. Something weird is going on with Louise on Jeremy's path. Mike is falling for Lena and now can't resist her desires even if it might get him in trouble with his girlfriend.
Finally someone said it. GGGB was great and one of the best VNs in existence in many ways, but it tends to be too idolized here, especially among those who don't like the slow-burn build-up in ORS. But near the end, GGGB was too blurry and everything looked like Eva was trying to finish it quickly to get away with it. The dialogues were reduced to:
And that's how she managed to have one new version each month and why ORS is taking longer.
I'd wait 3 Months for a new ORS update because I think it's a much better game than GGGB. Sadly, it's just my wishful thinking.
I think that we are saying the same thing. My point was purely that it is to be expected that EK would slow down the writing as the story develops, because she has to make decisions about how she wants to steer the story - she doesn't have all the options she had earlier, because the story has precluded some options on various paths.
Whatever, "pal." I am sure that your contention that JRRT and GRRM demonstrate nothing about the writing process will get you far in discussing writing with others.
Agreed. Hoping for a much more mindful fuck-fest, with well-thought-out character development as they bang.
