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

[I-No]

So... 2031.

I would laugh but I am afraid you might be right. Honestly I don‘t expect EK to finish ORS at all.

 

[Doppelgang]

Is there any prediction about when it will be complete?
I played too much Good Girl Gone Bad and I can't resist anymore

For some reason this question always leads to someone claiming the dev cycle is one release per year, which isn’t and has never been the case. The last two updates took 8 and 7 months respectively. (You can check the release dates under the “Changelog” spoiler in the first post of this thread.) Most updates have been significantly quicker than that, but the complexity has also gradually increased. Either way, a long way to go before we’re anywhere close to the ending.

I really hope for lena to use her 2 roommates as slaves lol

 

[JPhara]

That would be such a waste. Theres a huge potential for even better content as the story continues.
Can you elaborate on why you say that, lack of Patrons? Or do you think maybe the story arc and amount of potential outcomes was a bit too ambitious?

The popularity contest is over and the polls have spoken!

This time I presented you with two polls both for male and female NPCs: the first one was a public general vote in which you could choose as many characters as you wanted, and the second was reserved to patrons and you were allowed only one vote.

As you can see in the lineup above, the reigning trio

the same:

Cindy takes the leas again with a new record, 1570 votes. Holly and Ivy take the second and third place respectively, but Cindy has almost double the amount of votes. No one's dethroning the blonde queen anytime soon!

Alison and Emma continue to fight for the fourth and fifth place, and this time Alison edged her out by only 30 votes. They are closing in on Ivy though, should she be worried?

Surpringly, Gillian takes the sixth spot, leaving Minerva and Cherry behind. Seems like you really liked her character design, even though she hasn't played a major part in the story so far, she's integral to Ian's plot.

Speaking of Minerva, she's managed to climb quite a few positions: she used to be last in previous polls, but seems like her last scenes have earned her your appreciation! The same cannot be said for Cherry, who got only a few more votes than last time and only has Louise and Jessica behind. I was hoping for her to get some more love, since I tried to make her last scene in chapter 11 very special and I enjoy writing for her, even though she doesn't have as much screen time as other characters (but has more than Gillian, that's for sure!)

The status quo remains quite the same, but the best girl poll brings some surprising results:

While Cindy and Holly retain her top positions, when only being able to vote for one girl both Emma and Alison have dethroned Ivy! I'm glad to see that both girls have some fans, since I try to make their scenes really hot and make social interactions with them as fun to play as I can.

The other girls are competing for the remaining percentages, and Minerva gets the sixth place with 4% of the votes. Seems like the sexy MILF has finally caused an impact!

When it comes to the guys, the poll gives a very different vibe. While the rankings have shifted quite a bit since

, Jeremy still is number one, with 815 votes. Stan has stolen the second place from Seymour, who has fallen to fifth position, surpassed both by Axel and Marcel, which is a bit sad since I've put a ton of effort on Seymour's plot, character and scenes, trying to make them stand out and bring a different feel to the game.

I was considering if I should include Marcel in this poll or not, since he's basically a background character so far, and I'm surprised to see him take the fourth spot. Seeing both Jeremy's and Marcel's results, it's obvious most of you voted based on your favourite fetish, and I can see which one it is...
Perry sits at the middle, holding a solid sixth position, beating the sexy hunks Mike and Mark, and even Wade and Billy. And, of course, Robert is last, even though he has quite a lot of content in the game. Hopefully he's the type of character you love to hate; I find him entertaining at least!

The best guy poll didn't bring many changes, aside from restoring Seymour to a better looking third place, even though Stan still beats him. He's become a fan favourite despite not having as much content as other characters, but it seems you enjoy his scenes and I'll try to keep it that way. Hopefully the re-writes he went through made his character more interesting and tied him better to the overall narrative, even though I struggle to make him as relevant as his position in the ranking would suggest.

What do you think about the final lineup? Did your favourites win or do you feel some characters are underrated? Did anything surprise you? I'll read you in the comments.

Compared to GGGB cycles the development pace is glacial. If ORS is planned for 20 chapters I don't expect the final version before 2027.

That's expected after Keeping Ivy Virgin for the whole 11 CHAPTERS! No surprise there.
I'm just pissed EK bold the "dethroned" word. Rubbing salt over our wounds and trolling us

 

[Lorenz1]

So, no one has shit on Cindy. Expected, lol.

32% among the patrons with being only option, that's kinda damning.

No fucking shit. What a fucking joke to say 'dethroned'. Well go fucking figure EK considering your the one NOT GIVING HER ANY IAN CONTENT TO FUCKING SPEAK OF. She'd be 3rd overall if you gave her some actual fucking content instead the constant lesbian fan service.

What. A. Joke.

It sounds like Eva Kiss is disappointed that some of her characters didn't score higher.

Well, duh.

Should have spent that time on Cindy.

She has herself to blame for that. Writing wise, content wise, etc. She reaps what she sowed.

 

[SerHawkes]

Cinders already has enough content and story.

 

[Lorenz1]

Cindy's story didn't move a single step since start of the game. Well, it made one step, to a fuck scene, and then stopped there.

 

[Gicoo]

Geez, I wonder who promoted the BBC in the current and previous game as strongly to let this happen, Eva?

Not even Eva likes to write him, yikes. Makes sense, his plotline is unrealistic. He got not one decent quality about him (just give him a single one that justifies why Lena could be intrigued by him) and Lena can only take him on some pity dates.

from Seymour, who has fallen to fifth position, surpassed both by Axel and Marcel, which is a bit sad since I've put a ton of effort on Seymour's plot, character and scenes, trying to make them stand out and bring a different feel to the game.

Seymour sucks because his great chapter 9 threat turned out to be a dud. Give Lena and Ian real consequences and restrictions to change their live and take them out of their comfort zone. Chapter 10 and 11 did nothing to them, they still have their jobs and Lena is just modeling for some standin to have the same scene (dude even pays as much as Seymour).

It's Stan that is drowning her boat. Game would've moved forward way before if Stanny didn't get his feet wet. EK could've spent that time on other deserving character but nope she had to give us and herself the immense mental trauma.

Cindy's story didn't move a single step since start of the game. Well, it made one step, to a fuck scene, and then stopped there.

Nope she is pretty far ahead in story compared to Ivy. Heck even Holly got way far into story than Cindy and Ivy both considering you got to chose one between Holly or Cindy at the same time and there sex scenes start at same time too.

Nailed it on the head. She could spend time on characters who really deserve content or have been lacking on, but instead she tries to promote meanless characters such as Stan, or fine tunes Geymour who is not that much of a villain after all. Like I said before, it's her fault for her actions.

 

[ffive]

Hmm seeing Wade in these poll pictures made me think of something i didn't consider before. What if, in case Cindy and Wade break up, Wade becomes option for Lena and/or Ivy. Or if Ivy hits on Wade and tells him she saw Ian/Cindy in the process.

(Wade blocking Ian from getting Ivy in scenario where Ian stole Cindy from him would be low-key hilarious)

Possible and valid. Then again, for me aleast, likely won't happen since I'm not chasing No Ass Cinders.
