I noticed in the thread a lot of people hate Jeremy. Jeremy is a cool guy and a real bro. Change my mind.

I am changing my way of supporting EK.... I've been thinking about this for a while now and the previous discussion about the earnings on Patreon and this weekly status report has confirmed my decision. Thusfar I have been a on-and-off Patreon supporter since the latter days of GGGB but mostly consistent throughout ORS. I am still an avid fan of the game and will sporadically create some fanart...View attachment 1913449
Chapter 10 weekly status report (9)
Hi everyone,
I've started (almost) falling behind with my weekly status reports, but I'm gonna try to avoid that happening! I'll keep this one super-short because this weeks I've been very focused on writing, making slow but constant progress (at least slower than I'd like, but that's always the case).
I'm finishing writing Ian's part, one major scene and a few secondary ones remain, and I'll start writing Lena's part as soon as I'm done with that. So far the written content is as long as the entire Chapter 5, so this one will also be a chunky update.
I finally have some completed artwork, and that boosts my morale too. I took note of your observations about Emma's illustration and you were right, as sexy as she looked with that defined musculature, Emma's a bit chubbier than that. My colorist did a great job rendering those volumes, but I softened them down so they correspond to the character as seen on her sprite.

Yeah, sure. The second half of the game feels like it was finished in a hurry, so there's less text in the scenes than before, especially the dialogues.Come to think of it, the script on GGGB was shorter than this one right?
I for one am thankful for the change. She was looking like a bodybuilder and it just felt a bit offView attachment 1913449

I agree. It looked fun, but honestly didn't fit her character.I for one am thankful for the change. She was looking like a bodybuilder and it just felt a bit off
Agreed. I went with the friending Jeremy route. All he wants from you is to bang the girls you did. He ends up having sex with everyone you did, and then after mentioning a threesome with Allison, he does it... with someone else and sends you the pictures. The friend route with him doesn't go well AT ALL, so in my normal replay, I don't care about how he feels (because he doesn't care how you feel). He seems to only want to steal women from you.I've written about it here before, so I'm going to quote myself:
"Fair point about Axel, but Jeremy's best friend? Come on! How about the fact that he judges Ian when he won't show him Lena's Peoplegram. Or the fact that even after Ian says he wants Alison exclusively for himself, he's still going to make a move. I mean, what the fuck is your problem dude, just leave her alone if your bro asks you to. Or the fact that he supports Axel humiliating Wade to earn brownie points in front of Ivy and Jess, even though Wade is his buddy, which Ian rightly berates him for. He doesn't talk about Cindy because of his bullshit "gentlemen code," but okay, that's probably a really good thing on his part after all.
About how few people could resist being seduced by a model. Maybe, but if I were Jeremy, I would honestly tell Ian that I acted like a shitty friend and that Lena is not what he thinks she is. Aside from all of the above, the only thing he did for Ian was occasionally push him to the girls he was flinging with, but that wasn't enough to make him the best of Ian's friends."
All in all, Jeremy's not a bad fuck off-friend. You know, someone to drink beer with and talk shit with. And a potential wingman. But he's a total asshole and definitely not a bro.
And a threesome with Sage and Quinn fucking rocks, I can see that you're a man of culture.
are you sure it was a save where that happened and you're not mixing it up? I've never been able to have her sleep with jeremy that morning and get serious with ian. She can do the blowjob game and dirty pictures, but i've never gotten serious relationship to be available when she sleeps with Jeremy that one morning. I wonder what the variable is if it's not thatRefuses? In my route Lena slept with Jeremy but option to get serious with Ian was open. And she was a little upset when Ian suggested leaving everything casual. It probably depends on other factors.
As someone has already written, maybe you mixed up the preservation or the preservation, because if Lena exactly slept with him, then she immediately refuses. And the very possibility of offering a relationship depends on her relationship with Ian.Refuses? In my route Lena slept with Jeremy but option to get serious with Ian was open.

Psychology is an interesting science. It allows you to explain the actions of a person and make it clear why he behaves this way, because he is not a bad person. The study of childhood complexes, which you mentioned, is precisely the area of psychology.
There are much worse and more annoying people in this game (probably I will make such a rating in the near future)
>Fuck yeah, Sage 4Life, I'm in love with her.
HELL YEAH! Sage team!

I like both games for different reasons. They can all exist in the same universe.I think ORS is a lot better than Being A Dik. The developer for being a Dik is actually kind of a Dik last time I heard for how he treats people on this forum.
It turns out you were right. I went and checked. The option is open and Ian offers a relationship, but Lena refuses because she does not want a serious relationship and offers to continue to have fun.As someone has already written, maybe you mixed up the preservation or the preservation, because if Lena exactly slept with him, then she immediately refuses. And the very possibility of offering a relationship depends on her relationship with Ian.
It helps to find out the reasons for the behavior, but having those reasons doesn't make a person not bad, because they have and will continue to commit those transgressions.
SAGE TEAM ALL THE WAY!

Yep, there's no doubt about it, there's been a lot of questions about it and determined that it's a key factor. As far as I recall, Mike does not affect the ability to enter into a relationship.It turns out you were right. I went and checked. The option is open and Ian offers a relationship, but Lena refuses because she does not want a serious relationship and offers to continue to have fun.
You think Jeremy is the catalyst? Mike is still there, and I threw out that degenerate Robert.

I think Chapter 5 was about 11.000 lines of code (it might have increased after the rework), while the last few chapters have been around 20.000 lines. So if we add a bit more to the current length because there’s a few scenes left on Ian’s path, and then multiply it by two, we can roughly expect a chapter that’s bigger than the previous ones, but not that much.View attachment 1913449

Neither Mike nor Robert affect it, only Jeremy. And the lena_loves_ian variable (or whatever it’s called), obviously.It turns out you were right. I went and checked. The option is open and Ian offers a relationship, but Lena refuses because she does not want a serious relationship and offers to continue to have fun.
