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

[Xupuzulla]

The last Patreon post was a brilliant piece of self deprecating satire... Otherwise EK would still consider essentially whining about writer's block and claiming "the past X weeks I have been working but haven't gotten as much done as I had planned" a legit or novel status update. She is clearly playing 5D chess. One update per year is plenty, having the game finish by 2032+ is great. Surely by that time technology and porn game mechanics will not have progressed beyond semi static images and textboxes.

But in all honesty imagine if the patronage was structured to pay out per Release not per months. And there were a minimum in terms of images or lines of code to be considered an update. Back in the day some Youtubers had Patreons that were structured this way. You pledged for example 5$ per video and a video had to be 10+min long to fit the 2-Advert structure of YouTube at the time. This ensured financial support for the creator but also incentivised productivity. But now we are in the era where creators just have to get a large enough base who are going to support them no matter what (bc of a parasocial relationship) or just forget that they still pay for the patreon.

The last patreon post is disgusting,"THE PUZZLE OF CREATING NEW SCENES" the fuck?
The fuck is she yapping about?

She has clearly "Jumped the Sharknado".

Everytime this game updates I can't load my old saves, this is depressing.

Eva should've never made both Ian and Lena playable at the same time and instead make you choose and make the other one an NPC who's decisions are influenced by the main character, similar how Jessica works in the game but more of it. Basically 1 main character and 1 main NPC.

She would still deliver on the original promise of "red string" characters tied together by fate, but it would make the game much more manageable. Two main characters creates so many moving elements in the story that it's honestly impressive how she still delivers updates instead of ending up in a mental asylum.

Unless your save is from rework that took place like, couple years go, you should be good. As long as you didn't save literally on the "end of content for now" screen.

Afraid such approach wouldn't help in terms of complexity -- there would still need to be full choice path for each of two selectable protagonists, and if anything, it'd require extra code for the "NPC" version of each MC, to react to choices made by the player with the other MC.

So what character so far have the option to pursue a relationship with? As in there's a text option with the interlocking rings icon. Is it only Lena and Cindy?

Someone already mentioned Holly. I think Ian has one with Alison as well, at least if he doesn't suggest the threesome, though I am unsure if it's unavailable when he's seeing other girls too.

For what's worth, the "double rings" icon so far has been used for Ian/Lena relationship option, Ian/Cindy and, interestingly enough, for Ian/Holly in Ch.12 if Ian is fully accepting when Holly tells him news about having hots for Lena:

            h "I'm the worst..."
            menu v12lenagohollymenu:
                "{image=icon_ring.webp}I want to be with you, Holly" if ian_holly_love:
                    $ holly_trinity = 2
                    i "Stop beating yourself up like that, Holly. I'm not mad..."
                    i "I want to be with you... That hasn't changed."

Not sure how this option differs from heart-marked options. Perhaps it's more "official" kind of relationship declaration?

Now that I think about it I don't think I have ever saved on the "end of content" page with any game. I always make sure to rollback to the last cliffhanger scene before saving, so I can remember where the previous update cut off just by glancing at the thumbnail.

Anyways, I am glad I saw this post. I never realized that it was so easy to ruin a save.

When i choice take a picture i got this? How to fix it?

 

[amber111]

Even though Lana Rhoades is clearly a major inspiration to draw Lena, especially her porn videos, I suspect that one (called Sybil) is also a major inspiration for Lena's face expressions

I think it is multiple of similar looking ones. Could be Vanna Bardot too.

Are you continuing the game from older save? There were some changes in the game script over the months, some involved how certain pictures are stored. It's possible that's what tripping you up. Might be worth to try and start a new game, so all variables are up to date.

 

[space1995]

Is Emma's face supposed to be inspired by Abella Danger?

 

[Andrea9999]

She has clearly "Jumped the Sharknado".

Sharknado is THE cult classic. It is the only thing that truly belongs in a time capsule. The movie for the ages.

This whole game is boring as fuck with an exception of Cindy storyline. I skipped the last few updates since she wasn't included was there anything interesting there?

She featured a little in this update and you have scene with her but other than that, she is not one of the main focuses of this update. I'm sorry but I don't understand how anyone could refer to this game as "boring". You probably haven't tried the LSD arc yet

There's no need to force yourself. Just move on and play other games you don't find 90% boring.

Cheating bitch Holly path might come soon. I'd say keep your eyes peeled and your dick erect if such development occurs.

Just played Emma route, was surprised to see Ian more comfortable with her. With Alison he felt weird at first. I think Emma will be okay with Ian fucking Minerva, in my path.

This but Alison instead of Cindy.
