it's a porn game, how hard can the plot be? i would argue that the hardest parts are programing and the art. you guys act like Eva is the next edgar allan poe or something.
No. She's not close. She's decent for a porn game writer... well, given the low bar, she's very good for a porn game writer. But that's it.

What you're not getting is the path branching. Edgar Alan Poe didn't need to give the option to: Quote the raven; cook the raven; bat eyes at the raven; try to date the raven and see where it takes you. Turns out the raven's got a couple of friends and you started cheating with the sparrow. Or you can choose to date the raven exclusively and take one of several paths for kinky raven content. But it turns out you can control the raven too and she's got a nest of eggs at home to take care of. Sometimes the magpie stops by and the raven can be mean, nice or sexy to it. But that completely changes the story because the magpie is friends with your goose and your goose took a gander of that hot bird orgy involving seven different pelicans and five optional mating dances, all with their own unique outcomes. But that's just the beginning of the first 6 pages, with so many branching pathways that Edgar Alan Poe says "fuck it" and goes on vacation for a few weeks before the poets at the Absinthe bar start grumbling "no good, lazy, milking gothic horror writer. The writing is shit now, too. WTF with all the bird sex?"

It's not the most amazing writing, but the complexity involved in branching paths and the problems that could entail in cohesive narrative are incomparable to most other lone-writer vns & definitely much more complex than any choose-your-own-adventure novel out there.

This game will never be finished. 1 year and counting for 1 chapter, 10 chapters to go, it’e not hard to predict the end(that we’ll never see) like AWAM.
Well, you may have forgotten about the remaster. Chapter 10 is being worked on for 6 months now. That's not exactly great, but 12 months > 6 months, atleast in my book. I feel like comparing this project to AWAM is almost a crime. AWAM's current estimates for its completion are ranging from 34 to 40 years, that is if you're optimistic. Even if Eva were to double her development time in upcoming chapters, she would still be able to release 3-4 entire games before L&P's AWAM is getting anywhere close to its ending.

Yes, 2022 has been a bad year for ORS, but it's still lightyears ahead of shitshows like AWAM&Co.

This week I've been writing and creating some new illustrations. I'd say Lena's part is around 70% done and this chapter has already surpassed the lengthiest one yet, Chapter 7, which had 22k+ lines of code. Chapter 10 will probably reach the 30k mark, but we'll see. I can see the end getting near and it's helping me stay focused and productive.

As always I can't talk much without spoiling things, but I can share with you the outfit remakes I talked about in my last post.

First of all, I want to make clear that the Athletics outfit is not meant to be worn at the gym, it's supposed to act as a casual/party outfit inspired by gymwear aesthetics. I had the feeling it didn't had that vibe before, and I wasn't using it for clubbing scenes. I tried several color combinations to go with the repurposed top. The hoodie will still be used in casual or colder contexts, so I'm not doing away with it completely, but it won't feature as prominently.

I'm currently leaning towards D, but let me know which one you think is cooler in the poll down below. Or you can also suggest a different color I haven't tried (edits are welcomed, you can send them to me through Discord)

----------
What I am more interested in than in lines of code is actual story progression and distinct sex scenes. It doesn't matter if there is 30k lines of code or 80k if there is no meat to it. Plus lines of code also depends highly on how efficient you code and write. (Imagine a group sex scene where every character moans 100 times. That would add up to a lot of lines but no substance)

P.S. I am hoping for a late November release, though that seems very optimistic.

I mean, who knows. Eva's apparently way past the 22k already, and Lena's part is currently at around 70% completion. She's started working on Lena's part in August if I'm not mistaken, so judging by that I'd say it's not entirely impossible that she might be done with it towards the end of November. Unlikely, but not impossible. :)
Yes, I think that November is unlikely, because besides the completion of the Lena part, there is still beta testing. And it takes at least two weeks, given that the episode will be big. So in my optimistic view, Eva will spend a month on development + two weeks on a beta test, which makes it possible to enter early-mid December.

I hope we finally get to see some Ian x Ivy content in the next update.
Same bro. Same. But then again this is Eva, who has completely ruined Ian x Ivy priorly with her "remastered works" by taking out the kiss on the cheek with the flirty moment to now taking that out entirely. I give Eva till chapter 12 to give some measure of hope for this pair or else I'm out entirely and raging fully at the injustice done.
