VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch. 12 Full] [Eva Kiss]

Never did that myself, but if I remember correctly, you have to be nasty to them, so you will have the option to steal from them.

You don't have to be 'nasty' to them. The only requirement is that Lena doesn't offer to help when she hears they plan on closing the cafe. Then, she will have three opportunities to steal money. She can do it two times without consequences, but the third time Ed catches her and tells her Molly has been suspecting her.

BTW I always steal from them on my bad/slut Lena playthroughs

Cool, I'll try it sometimes. Thanks.

Damn, I didn't even know Lena could do that

geez is still not update? wtf, just another summertime saga

At least DarkCookie livestreams his drawing sessions from time to time. Now with the inconsistent "weekly" status reports, the endless excuses of sickness, wedding, funeral, writer blocks, or even just vacations, and the annoyingly long radio silences and disappearances after making announcements such as "I have to release it soon for my mental health", or "I can see the light at the end of tunnel", or “wait is almost over” kind of things. This game starts to give me a "Milfy City” vibe......

I'll say it again, considering the fact that last chapter took almost 9 months, this one is actually an improvement. 6 months for Eva is lightning fast.

Emma's surprised face looks like she woke up to a surprise butt sex in prison.

The “weekly” status reports should either be posted weekly or simply be renamed to “status report” whenever they do come out (it’s very rarely more than two weeks). I’ll give you that.

But the game’s been in production for more than three years, and I think Eva has taken a real vacation once—while still doing some work. She went to two weddings last year (and brought some of the work with her there as well!), and people are still butthurt about it. She admitted she had gotten less work done once this year because a close family friend had died. And yes, she struggled with writer’s block for a while, but with six years of writing GGGB and ORS, that will obviously happen at some point. Most of the time it seems like people on here expect porn game developers to be machines who just work non stop, and cut out all forms of social life to serve the people pirating their work.

The “promises” you refer to are obviously intentionally vague (and not written in the form of promises) because it’s probably extremely difficult to put a timeframe on the last part of the process. Things are being tested to check if something unexpected shows up. You obviously don’t know in advance how much time those unexpected things will take.

And concerning this episode: It will be about seven months between the release of the last Alpha and this. There’s 17 scenes in the new episode, and in that time we’ve also gotten the Prologue (3 scenes, I think?) and the very lengthy Minerva scene in the final version of the last episode. So we’re talking 20+ lewd scenes in those seven months. I can’t remember the exact number of scenes in the previous episodes, but I’m pretty sure this is at least on par with previous episodes, even though the writing for obvious reasons has gotten more and more complex.

The last update for ORS was in Febuary, 4 months ago, assuming the new chapter releases this month, which it should, then thats 4 months with 11 status reports. Dark Cookie on the other hand has been promising a 'tech update' for about a year now and the last content update for Summertime Saga was in October and since October there have been only 2 status reports for Summertime Saga. Anyone seriously saying the situations are comparable is just armchair dev'ing with no creative experience.

Last I remember, Eva had said that the last update was going to be the "heaviest update to date" as said in her

update. On top of this the update took a total of 7 months and 3 weeks between both final releases of chapter 9 on April 24st and chapter 10 on December 21st. All of this to say, yes the updates do take quite a while to come around. Although in my experience, the quality of content we are seeing in Our Red String vs other games is quite well done. Also seen by the amount of posts under this thread for Our Red String. In summary, quit bitching about how long it takes for each update unless you would like worse content in shorter time.

Be in game one mc...

Are people really surprised if an update takes longer
Most big games I have played on here get one maybe two updates a year
That's just normal now

Seymour is a bad guy, but he's not as ugly as Harvey Weinstein so it's okay.

Man, I literally dreamed that I was playing ORS and Alisson was pregnant with Ian's baby

And the baby's black

Yep. You can actually steal multiple times from them. Idk what type of evil person would do that though. Totally not my Lena...

 

[Existence X]

Maybe she will return to this copule after finnishing whole game.

So by then she adds again the choice.
The only consequence for that choice is to create false hope that Ed is going to get any content sometime soon, and make people bother for it.

 

[Ezes]

good game

 

[JohnnyKiss]

And the baby's black

They said a "Dream". That sounds more like a Nightmare.

Don't like it? Don't follow it, don't download the update when it does get released. Think you can do better, then make your own game. I don't get the point in making accusations and whining about something that you're likely getting for free.

I think people are undermining just how complex the story is in this game. So many different routes, that all need to connect. The more characters you add, the more quest lines, the more sex scenes, all of that adds up in the way this story is being told. Now split that between TWO seperate protags, that gets really complicated really quick. Constatnly have to check notes on previous chapters, going over what you have written, design the art, send it out to other artists for finishing, getting it back and going over it with a fine tooth comb, sending it back for last touches, I could go on lol. Eva truly puts so much love into the game. Yes it takes awhile to get updates out, but for good reason. And if they want to take a vacation, or go to a wedding from time to time, who cares. It's their life, and they are giving us great content in return. Don't be upset that they are just trying to not burn themselves out
