I really like the way Eva wrote the effect of our choices in ORS.
Whatever we choose changes the dialogues slightly and it makes the whole game feels alive.
She's really talented on that aspect

It's probably one of the most remarkable traits of her work yes. Sometimes just one single word in a sentence varies, depending on the past choices you've made. Its is very meticulous work. Unfortunately after eleven chapters it makes her spend decades on each possibility before releasing an update.

Twenty bucks are nothing, but my problem is with the principle.
In theory, I find the idea of subsidising the development of a porn game completely absurd.
Then EK emerges, and clearly she's 200 leagues above any of the crap in this industry, because she precisely does not come from this industry, she is a graphic designer and digital marketer and a real artist who could not eat in Spain, like most (I work in management, last time I was on holiday in Spain in one week I had 100 CVs under the door of my hotel room, literally the whole town had someone in the family begging for a job).
She comes across porn games, she realises that the format is not that despicable and she can bring quality to the whole thing. She delivers GGGB which is pure virtuosity and one billion times more sophisticated than anything that was ever developed in the genre, gets people completely estranged from this world like myself lean into it, then follows it up by sth even more promising, ORS. And finally, she can eat.
Then people like me, who don't even like porn, may even consider supporting her. I mean, people who would never pay for a porn website membership, she could bring them to consider to finance the development of a f.cking porn game.
But then, I suppose, reality strikes back. As a great statesman once said, "facts are stubborn".
The fact of the matter is that EK is not a porn game developer. She is a digital artist who needed to eat, and as a real artist, any porn game she would have developed would have been of better standard than anything else I could name.
But it is not what she is. A bit like vanilla Lena going on Stalkfap and sticking to tasteful nudes.
The truth is that GGGB was a very good parody, and as a parody could be developed quite smoothly because beyond all its virtuosity, it was second-degree at all times, and you could not take it seriously. ORS is 1st degree, and in the first chapters EK was writing sincere content.
Then, to please the people feeding her, she had to go into things that are not her. Twofold consequence: the writing is not as good, and she takes milleniums to complete it, because she is beyond what she is required to do to eat.
Coming to think of it, EK is like Lena who would dream to survive with Shine Again but ends up stuffing dildos in her pussy on Stalkfap to pay the rent.
This is why we have such a long wait between updates. Because EK is trying to be someone she's not, and, to please her patreons, trying to be a lesser person than she is.

I agree with this comment.

Just speaking for ORS, the one before the makeover or break that happened - the content was fabulous. And post that, the game feels like something it wasn't what it started out to be.


Shame that she had to resort to become same as other devs. But I guess that the more the variety or tastes she adheres to, the more people she can reach, and more she will earn. Food has to be on the table every night no matter what.

What does ORS before the makeover looks like?

I know Billy is black and Stan dresses different but other than that, how does it differ?

I wasn't around during that part of ORS but i'm always curious on the differences

Alt prologue and Stan has more character dev. for the better or for worse, Lena character was more reserved, ig and her character's past didn't change according to her choices I believe, might be wrong on the last one though.

the dev tricked you into thinking the update was near, so she could increase the hype, frustration and blue balls and from your reaction looks like her calculation was spot on

Don't give up hope. I was like you once. I didn't think I would see the day Elders Scrolls VI was released. Fast forward 6 years and I'm still not sure but I have hope this time that my grand kids will play it :HideThePain:

We need to transmit playthroughs and JMOD to our descendants to make sure they are fully prepared for Chapter 15 after we're gone. I believe the children are our future.

Though, EK should seriously start to think about finding an apprentice to train so he can take over game development after her retirement, after chapter 16.

Hold up. So what are we getting at the end of this month? The whole new chapter or only one character's perspective?

There were also some changes regarding Ian and Axel where the old version seemed to indicate that Ian and him might be able to form a friendship. After the change Ian is more readily hostile to Axel and certain scenes with the two of them were changed somewhat.

Ian's perspective, that's the first two days of the beach event. Unless EK changes their mind, that's all the content promised.
