Around half of the coding done. Hmm so a early june released maybe... ![Unsure :unsure: :unsure:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I certainly have NO problem AT ALL with her taking time to do it properly as her story is so intricate for our great pleasure.You must be registered to see the links
Chapter 8 weekly status report (6)
View attachment 1161466
Hi everyone,
I know last week I missed the weekly status report, but I didn't have much to report: during these two weeks I've been hacking away at the writing, which is proving to be pretty challenging. This chapter is titled "Falling into place" rather fittingly, since there are a lot of moving pieces from chapter 7 and previous one that need to be addressed and developed properly properly. Writing this chapter feels like knitting a convoluted tapestry, trying to make sense of all the threads and ordering them correctly so the final picture makes sense and I'm not skipping anything. This means going over scenes a few times, realizing I forgot to add something or deciding this should go there instead of there, so that other thing can happen later and that other thing is foreshadowed, etc, etc...
Writer's block is something that I've had to deal with on a monthly basis since I began writing GGGB, but it's striking me rather hard with this update, probably because I have to account for so many things when writing a scene and I need to write it several times with a lot of big and small variations, making it pretty cumbersome. When I don't enjoy writing something or really struggle with it I have the feeling the players will be equally bored with it, so sometimes pushing forward feels difficult.
Also, I've been forced to update my Ren'py version and suddenly a lot of unexpected and game-breaking problems with the code have popped up and it's making concentrating on the writing even more challenging. I feel rather frustrated and angry with myself for not being able to advance at the pace I set out, especially considering this was supposed to be a shorter chapter compared to 7 and I wanted to release it faster.
Anyway, excuse me for all that complaining. I'm not trying to make any excuses and I'm still trying to work as fast and consistently as I can and deliver something up to the quality standards expected from ORS. I can positively say I've written around 7.000 lines of code and I think that amounts to half the chapter's length. I'm working on solving the bugs with the game due to the Ren'py update with the help of my loyal contributors and my focus is on finishing writing as soon as possible. The colorist is still working on the illustrations, but she should be close to finished, so once the writing is done I will edit all of them while bugtesting and proofreading is being done.
I'm not confident yet to announce a release date, but hopefully it won't take much longer. Thank you for your patience and continued support, I'll pull myself together and try to deliver a satisfying chapter for you guys to enjoy as soon as possible!
That's a great idea but I'm not a coding "expert" so I don't know how I can be useful. :-/Perhaps it is time to start the community wiki project. Tracking all the paths is hard, especially for a single dev who is not used to planning too much ahead before writing.
Hmmm It'll say it's holly's room, and surprise would be the sex scene been between her and Lena instead of Ian.![]()

Giao's studio is working on a new background for this upcoming chapter. Here's the sketch for it... Can you guess what's the place it's supposed to be depicting?
Here's a tip: a sex scene will happen here, and it might surprise you...
I'll do you one better - Axel needs to go to Africa and come back a cuck.Ian needs to go to Africa, then return and become an alpha male.
As the story progresses Ian turns into an "Alpha" assuming you pick the correct choices.Ian needs to go to Africa, then return and become an alpha male.
If this game doesn't end with Ian engaged in piledriver sex with Lena as Axel watches on--impotent and jacking off in tears--, well i for one will very disappointed.I'll do you one better - Axel needs to go to Africa and come back a cuck.
Oh I do understand where you are coming from, it's certainly not unwise of any developer not to too readily run along with any and all odd suggestions, but I also think we should elect to trust Eva to measure her own vision in relation to possible suggestions. I think the quality of GGGB and ORS allows for some trust that she knows how to temper public opinion with her own creative pursuits.And when feel yourself like in the mine field, so you will never know for sure, you just patted him on the shoulder in a friendly way or took the first step towards hookup with him
Jokes aside, I understand what you saying, probably it's just my general opinion about any kink suggestions, because I really think that to each his own. If you like certain theme, find game about it, don't try to change existing game for yourself.
I certainly don't fault those that choose to ignore the opinions of a freeloading crowd!Sometimes I really glad that some devs don't visit this site, comments on patreon surprisingly more polite and more often will not go against main position of the author, or it's just happens that only profiles I seen was like this.
I must admit to not browsing the forum enough to have an impression of my own in this regard. I've seen various topics get surprisingly heated before, so the impression you share don't surprise me.I also forgot to add in previous post, that I even seen ruined game ratings, because it contain certain kink, not because the game is bad, but because they don't like particular thing in the game. I hope it will also explains why I don't like it so much.
