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

[Dirtytreenaturd]

From her Q&A on Sept. 16 last year:
About Lena and Ed, that's a route I wanted to include from the get go, and I'm planning to make some progress with it in this next chapter. But I don't want to juggle too many things at once and if the branches get too overwhelming, Ed will be low priority. I hope this doesn't happen, but in the worst case scenario it will be added as DLC content when the game is finished, much like I did with Jasmin in GGGB

After the first time he never showed up when she was changing, he never commented on her stalkfap. All that should have been slowly escalating over the last 5 chapters. So yeah, we have to be strong and face the truth

Damn, I really wish that she had kept up with the Ed content. Isn't it possible Ed could be one of the stalkfap commenters? Unless he uses an identifying name (which I'm not putting past an old person) then it would be almost anonymous. Anyway, the fact she said it would be worst case scenario to leave him until DLC makes me feel a little hopeful. Fingers crossed!

I don't think you can look at a nearly year old comment and jump to conclusions.

If Ed is being shelfed, we need a much more recent post about it.

I don't see Ed as a cheater. I see him with his wife to the end as I would to any couple that age who like each other still. I love seeing old couples with 60+ years together who still love each other. My parents have almost 50 now. I have friends from High School who started dating in 9th grade now together well over 30 years. Married about 25. You don't really love each other, last that long then suddenly forget just for some hot guy/girl. He also knows she has A young lover (Ian, Holly, or whoever - please not asshole Axel) He can't compete with. He belongs with his wife and that is it forever. They should be together and happy forever.

Not sure if it would totally be out of the question for Molly to support an Ed/Lena pairing. At least based on the hints I've been able to pick up on - and it is entirely possible I've missed a few since - it seems like this route will eventually lead to a pregnancy outcome, with Lena serving as the surrogate mother for their child. (Mostly basing this on Ed's bio)

I can't remember if Ed told Molly about going to Lena's live drawing, but in all of the other Ed/Lena interactions she never really displays any jealousy or concern (at least not from what I've seen). So it isn't out of the question that they might have a more sexually open relationship, at least with someone Molly trusts like Lena.

Considering Lena can also steal cash from them, I would guess that there will end up being 2 routes for Ed.

 

[Ninja of Death]

I never saw the option of stealing. I see them as a friendly old couple Lena helps out.

The whole "Ed thing"... I don't know?!?
This game shouldn't drift into a typical "porn game" with blackmail, humiliation & coercion. I'm also glad, for example, that there is no incest & pregnancy content here.
According to some statements, the game is only a third ready and there will be many unexpected story twists, but it shouldn't totally drift into a primitive & ridiculous porn game.

i think incest will happen. Idk when but at some point like GGGB. Lena's family are characters and she back home this chapter so something in this direction maybe happen

Chapter 9 weekly status report (2)
The development of Chapter 9 is still underway.

• I have completed around 65 drawings, with more than 40 variations and 2 animations. The colorist has already turned a few of those in and I've finished a couple of those, since I wanted to try a new approach in editing them, and I'm very happy with how these first ones turned out. Sadly I can't show you anything yet.
• I have completed the drawings for 7 of the major sex scenes in this chapter, 2 more are left to do, and also 3 additional sets that I will try to delegate. Some other additional illustrations are needed, but the most important part of that job is almost done.
• I will be travelling during a few days this month, and I'll try to use that time to start writing the new chapter.

I hate to make you guys wait, but I'll put all the time I need until the update is ready. Meanwhile, enjoy a new outfit Cindy will be sporting

It's time for Ed !!!!!

IT IS!!!

 

[lcvargas]

Sorry, to be the bearer of such dire news but I am pretty sure Ed has been canceled
There hasn't been any development since chapter 3. EvaKiss wrote about a year ago she might have to cut Ed because of time constraints. And I fear that has happened. On good news she wrote he might be in an addon like Jasmine in GGGB.

I dunno, but in the previous chapters when you have Lena do the nude modeling in the cafe, he still shows interest towards her.

Edit: I read previous posts that already addressed this.

I think one of the stalkfap commenters is Ed. I think he's the one who keeps posting dad jokes. (I really want Lena to be with daddies. )

 

[dundun]

Do you know if Eva has indicated anything similar, what kind of priority they may have, towards other characters?

You mean someone relegated to DLC? No, none I am aware of.

Or you can just look at the game where nothing has happend with Ed ever since.

Considering Lena can also steal cash from them, I would guess that there will end up being 2 routes for Ed.

Lena can only steal if she doesn't help them and then they will go under and Lena will likely not meet them again (especially if she steals twice because then Molly catches her).

I really want more Cindy and Ivy content mannnn.

I really want more Cindy and Ivy content mannnn.

Sometimes it's good to have patience. The two will also get their time in future updates, I'm pretty sure.

Regarding Ed: If Eva has hired someone to help her with the line drawings, which the latest status report gave the impression of, couldn’t it be that she’ll use that as a possibility to bring Ed fully back into the story? With the amount of characters involved at the moment, adding in scenes with one more shouldn’t be that time consuming, and with the extra help I assume it would be possible to both add Ed content and still speed up the process overall.

She wrote ' sex scenes in this chapter, 2 more are left to do, and also 3 additional sets that I will try to delegate '. So it is not sex scenes she is delegating. I think she is talking about backgrounds which she has already bought several times.

 

[mhoyko]

I think Ed's wife will die, Lena will be tired of so many men looking for her for sex and with Ed she will find stability, they will get married, they will have a child and they will be happy!

I read that as meaning sex scenes, but it is a little vague. I think she’s at least talked about getting some assistance with the line drawings though, and delegating more of the art process could either way give her the chance to bring Ed fully back into the story, I assume.

Ed isn’t that important to me personally, but considering how tight the storylines are woven together, I think adding scenes after the game is finished would be a suboptimal solution. But a few compromises are obviously needed when making a game of such high quality, with so frequent releases and so many characters involved.

I don't know if there will be any incest in this game, considering that Eva specifically mentioned she doesn't want a repeat of the sort of things she did in GGGB. I mean, maybe something could happen between Lena and her mum -- since that wouldn't be exactly like what was in GGGB, and considering there would be closeness to gain where they often butt heads -- but it definitely won't be with her dad.

Also, all this talk of Ed and Molly and their openness with Lena having her nude modelling in their cafe makes me wonder if they were swingers in younger years, and that there could be an option down the track - providing Lena keeps in good with them - to 'join' them, and sorta revitalize their sex life. I mean, if people find it such a shame for Lena to get between Ed and Molly cos of Ed's interest, who says that has to be the only way? lol.

But IDK, personally for me I really like Molly as the sort of stand-in mother for Lena in the absence of her own mother truly giving a damn for her well being. I'd hate to destroy/betray that relationship by getting with Ed, and getting intimate with Molly would just feel kinda weird, too. I say that hypothetically. I know nobody has talked about Lena x Molly like that (that I'm aware of), and possibly people aren't into it anyway.

To say it in my language: Du hast ja nicht alle Latten am Zaun.

I hadn't heard that one! I grew up with the alternative, 'Hast du alle Tassen im Schrank!?'
(translation: 'do you have all the cups in your cupboard?!', which is like saying 'Are you crazy?!')
...cos my mum would say that to me quite a bit
