VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch. 13.1 BETA] [Eva Kiss]

[Deleted member 3064965]

I would say that the prerequisites are not directly obvious, but they are.

The first is a meeting in the gallery. If you choose the Lust answer option, then Seymour will say in fancy words that he agrees with those who take pictures of naked girls just to drool over them. Of course, this is not too obvious yet, but it can already be added to the piggy bank.

The second is a meeting in a restaurant. Now he says "That just makes you so much better", but if I'm not delusional and my memory does not deceive me, then in earlier versions he said "only better". It does not differ in meaning, but stylistically adds dark shades to this statement, coupled with a classic villainous smile.

The third is that during the photo shoot Seymour out of the blue starts calling Lena "Doll". This treatment gives the impression that he already considers Lena his toy and property. I think that many girls would think after that about the intentions of the photographer.

The fourth is that he quickly agrees with Agnes and asks Lena for the most depraved shots with Axel. All in all, it doesn't stray too far from his provocative style, but given how far they can go, it turns into soft pornography.

The fifth is the smirk during the phone call for the appointment in Chapter 9. Already portends something unpleasant and dark even before they meet.

Well, I would also include here the fact that he appeared in a cafe. In itself, this is harmless, but he clearly knew about the state of affairs in the house, plus the manifestation of too close interest in Lena.

These are all suspicious moments that I could remember.

I agree that the turn of events with Seymour in chapter 9 was in line with what could be expected. (Though I had a more vague idea about it — this was a good summary!)

My main point a few comments before yours, was that Lena — who’s happily unaware that she’s the main character of a porn game — didn’t have as obvious reasons to expect it (and nor did she, as far as I can tell).

When she earlier is confronted with the decision of whether she likes working with him or not, it feels like you choose "I don’t think he’s got any bad intentions" rather than "I don’t mind if he’s got bad intentions". But when it turns out his intentions are pretty shady (which should be clear to Lena as well as he presents his deal and the photoshoot plays out), Lena adapts to it a bit too easily, in my view.

The photoshoot with Axel that turned into sex was also not what she had planned, but that was something she knew deep down was likely to happen, and she had plenty of chances to fantasize about it in advance. Making it possible to think about Seymour during one of her masturbation sessions, as an example — or at least fantasize about his power or the submissive position she’s in during their encounters — would’ve made the events in chapter 9 a bit more dynamic and part of a natural progression, I think. But the chapter 9 twist is an important part of his path as well, so maybe it would’ve worked against purpose.

It’s not a big issue, just nitpicking — as we get plenty of chances to do, considering chapter 10 is probably still several months away.

It still being Months away breaks my heart... ;-; but that's the wait we have to do for quality.

 

[mr.hong]

[doctor13]

She took break during the Holidays due to burnout, she is still working on revamping the first 9 chapters and polishing them for Steam Release and stuff. I think Chapter 10 is gonna take a while.

Hi guys,
I hope you had a nice Holidays with family, friends or even by yourself. I haven't posted in a while and it was about time.

I'm still working on revamping ORS' nine chapters, adding and modifying stuff here and there, as I've been talking about in the past: redoing all Stan scenes, updating some crappy drawings and tweaking or expanding on some particular scenes. And when all that's done, I'm planning to move forward with my plans to release on Steam.

On a more personal note, I already talked about the burnout I was feeling after releasing chapter 9, and I took some time off during the holidays to recharge. Working on ORS is a real challenge and the pressure is real, especially now that I have to manage many things aside from just writing and drawing.

I feel like I'm taking way more time than I should, and that gets kind of stressful, since I was used (like you were) to a constant and steady release cycle. I've been keeping a very consistent work schedule during these past 4 years and it's allowed me to push out update after update, and I need to get back to that, but I've also become aware that I need to make it sustainable for myself too. In any case, I guess I'm afraid to lose all the good will I've cultivated during these past few years if I start slipping, and that's something I can't allow myself to do.

In any case, my plans and commitment to the project have not changed and I'm eager to share with you what I create. As always, I just want to keep things transparent with you guys, even if sometimes I have to talk about some personal issues that don't have to do much with the game itself. I know I've been taking longer than usual to engage and release new content, and I'm sorry for that. Work still goes on, though, and I hope to make your wait and support worthwhile once again

I can't say when the revamped 9 chapters will be completed yet, but I'll keep you posted.

Can you guess which scene is getting a complete makeover judging by the picture above?

So what exactly does giving Holly a boost in confidence? Does it make her less submissive - if she ever was? Will she be more open to future acts and/or kinky or will she just wear more revealing clothes? I just cant decide if i want her timid or encouraged

At first I thought is whether Holly would become more confident in herself as a person, not letting anyone else bring her down and making independent decisions rather than constantly relying on Ian / Lena for acknowledgment. But it seems like while it does so, it also pushes her into Ivy's arms and changes her into a more sexually adventurous person because that's what Holly wants to be. It wouldn't be a bad idea if Ivy didn't gain such a huge influence over Holly. However, there's a way to avoid that, and that's leaving Ivy's place early in Chapter 8.

So it's safe to say that we won't be getting ch 10 any time soon. Once she's done reworking all the scenes from ch 1 to 9, she will start on ch 10.

In all likelihood, Chapter 9 Revised drops in February, and then there are another 3-4 months for Chapter 10.

Guys, can someone share the saves?

Is this game easy to play?

There's no grinding or complex game mechanics, if that's what you mean.

It's a straightforward "choose your path" visual novel, going through the story scene by scene, with your decisions impacting what scenes you visit in the future.

So who’ll take the job of going back in the game to check which scene has similar lighting to this illustration? I don’t think it’s any of the earlier photoshoots with Seymour, as the light in a professional photo studio doesn’t match with this illustration. The colours seem kind of similar to the photoshoot with Axel in chapter 9 … but I think the shoes are the same as the ones Seymour made her wear in chapter 9? That was without any clothing, though, but letting Lena start that scene with some lingerie, and then gradually remove it, would’ve made Seymour’s dirty intentions slightly more subtle at first, which I think the scene would’ve benefited from.

Edit: Seymour also makes a point out of how the contract restricts him from doing any sexual to her … unless she clearly states it’s OK (or something along those lines). I suspect half of the pleasure he wants from all of this, is to get Lena to be the one to beg him for it, not the other way round. With that in mind it would make sense to give Lena the chance to undress for him of her own choice.

 

[Tallyhoe]

I think it’s her first shoot with Seymour.

Considering her post above it is obvious that we are not going to see Chapter 10 until at least next fall. All that tinkering with the earlier chapters is just a way to postpone the work on the next chapter. She probably doesn't know how to continue the game (or even worse doesn't want to). She has a problem with the writing of the story, it seems.

Unfortunately this game can't be play until the end. I played good girl gone bad many times recently. This type of games is fun to reach the end as it has many ending. Waiting to reach the last chapter.

 

[Deleted member 3064965]

I think it’s her first shoot with Seymour.

There’s some pictures from that shoot where she’s sitting down, but is it on a similar furniture? (A tuffet, is that the name in english?) I can’t remember, but if that’s the case, it would be a big hint, of course.

It’s not impossible that it’s from that scene, but the lighting isn’t the same, as far as I can recall. And also I would be surprised if she felt it needed a complete makeover — it’s pretty good both story and art wise already, I’d say.

The lighting seems to be the camera flash on a black backdrop (that makes it look purple) which only Seymour had for Lena's first photo shoot.

That's a lot of speculation.

I'm not expecting a Chapter 10 for a long while, but not for the reasons you're guessing. I think she sounds pretty honest in her post and that we could formulate the situation pretty well from it. She's stressed, it's a big workload, she's not happy with some work in the previous chapters & she also wants to get the game to as professional quality as possible before a steam release since it's clear she holds herself to a higher standard than the majority of adult game devs.

I can imagine a Fall 2022 chapter 10 though. Expectations not set high for an earlier release there.
