So, the remaster is finally done and work on Chapter 10 has already started.
At this stage I'm working on several tasks at the same time:

• Planning the script: I've already decided the main plot points that need to take place on Chapter 10, meaning sex scenes and narrative-advancing scenes. ...

Cool, so what exactly did Eva do over the past 6 months? Improving the story (which was already good) of chapters 1-9: rather "nah", polishing chapters 1-9 (production quality was also already good, still some typos though): again "nah", planning ahead: "nah".

What other women besides Holly and Cherry?

Cindy. When you escort Cindy to her second photo-shoot with Axel and Lena shows up and sees you with Cindy, her look towards you wasn't exactly friendly. Ironically, depending how she deals with Axel, she could end up sleeping with him moments after giving Ian the evil eye.

chill ian is a alpha sigma grindset cuck in the canon lore

When exactly is he a "cuck"? I don't think you understand what a "cuck" is.

Huh?! What are you talking about! I just started to replay the new version from scratch and Eva did a ton of work polishing the game (noticable improvements in many of the old scenes) as well as changing the story with Stan and making him available as an interest to Lena, which I love.

Did you honestly check out the game for changes? "NAH"!

As for planning ahead, man alive, this has to be the most complex VN I have seen, I am amazed there aren't more errors than there are! Go make a VN yourself with this many paths and see how you do. Sheesh...

Actually, I did -- quite thoroughly:

• code > the same basic, unmaintainable (spaghetti) mess as it was before (now featuring some even wilder jumps between sections);
• new prologue > disimprovement (introducing inconsistencies w/ the story presented in chapters 1-9);
• Stan's route > it's there, and if you care for it: good for you (I, however, neither care nor mind);
• white-washed Billy > a hot mess;
• gameplay improvements > yes, okay, there a some things here and there, but nothing which could account for even a month worth of work.

Are you sure she directed that look at Ian and not Cindy, who straight up told Axel about the nature of Ian and Lena's relationship?

I understand why you might have an issue with the first two points because the game was indeed already good, but planning ahead? Dude, this game would lose everything unique and good about it if it lost direction due to lack of planning. The fact that it has a relatively strong, immersive storyline is what sets it apart, and that's only due to careful planning - without that it would end up becoming just like so many other games on here that start out strong and become bland and directionless; pure outlets for whatever whim their Patreons have; gone to shit. And don't even get me started on what no planning would mean for the dual-main character focus of this game.

But speaking of the first two points, I do think they're important as well, because in a game this in-depth that's being released chapter by chapter you occasionally would need to clean things up to make sure everything flows smoothly. It's not like a game where the entire thing is finished in one go and can be polished up before the public ever sets eyes on it (and even those still have issues).

So, the remaster is finally done and work on Chapter 10 has already started.
At this stage I'm working on several tasks at the same time:

• Planning the script: I've already decided the main plot points that need to take place on Chapter 10, meaning sex scenes and narrative-advancing scenes. Now I'm trying to figure out how to organize them, how they interlink and what info needs to be delivered in those scenes.
• Story-boarding: Since I've already decided the major scenes, I'm laying them down both structurally and visually: deciding how many illustrations each scene needs, what actions are depicted in them, and which references to use. This is a rather fluid process and I end up making a lot of changes along the way, but it's useful to have them figured out as much as possible beforehand.
• Drawing: Once I'm happy with the image selection for a scene, it's time to start drawing. I try to start as soon as possible, this way the colorist has ample time to work on these while I keep making progress in other areas. I'm also conducting a few tryouts to find someone to help me with the line-art, too (if you're interested, PM me). I've finished drawing 2 scenes so far.
• Business stuff: The part that I enjoy the least, but necessary. Aside from polishing the released game a bit further (I

  , so if you want to support the game on another platform, you can do it there. And speaking about other platforms, it's time to get ORS on Steam, so I'll be working on that too.

That's it for now. I'll be busy with these tasks for a while, but I'll keep you posted on a weekly basis. Let's get this new chapter out as soon as possible!

finally on steam!!!

Can anyone share the save or gallery unlocker for android version?

Same here. I'm replaying it and considering pursuing other relationships with Ian rather than Lena. You get the option to select a relationship with Cindy who is honestly my favorite (I can't stand Wade, the guy is an idiot). also looking into Allison, though I am uncertain about her given how easily she hopped into bed with Jeremy. Emma has her own charms.

I'm also replaying it and letting Lena sleep with as many as possible, like Robert who I normally avoid, just to see what relationship options arise. I just wish the whole Holly<->Lena thing was better written. I plan to do a play-through focusing only on single females and not sleeping with anyone else to see how far that goes. Holly will be my first test, see if i can avoid sleeping with Lena and how that pans out.

I'll give the Dev credit, this has to be a nightmare to manage all these paths so I'll try not to be too critical.

Yeah, I would love more Lena and Holly content, they have good chemistry. She just doesn't work well with her roommate because she is an emotional mess.

The emotional mess issue of Louise could be fixed with the decisions we make with Lena (which it's not the case in the actual version). If we have positive decisions with Lena, the relationship could go very well, and not well f the decisions are bad.

At least that's the way GGGB worked with certain characters. You could make good people turn bad and viceversa.

Damn, steam... Do they allow incest? Dont think so, and in ORS there are moms and dads characters.... guess we will never see scenes with them like in GGGB. In GGGB mom and main character scenes were awesome!

 

[Armada1987]

What happened to Minerva???

 

[CoalPhelps]

What happened to Minerva???

Nothing, she's fine, she's still the same bitch.

 

[vgbestly]

finally on steam!!!

BOOO! Being on Steam means you have to submit to its strict rules and shit. That means no taboo/hard fetishes. Would only work if Eva develop a Steam friendly version and also a "mod" version to put the content back in. Too much work.

 

[dammetocdo1234]

Does anyone know about this problem,i cannot continue from this?

I think there are some kind of patch that other developer use for their game, so the fans who buy the game from steam can unlock all the scene that include fetishes that are not allowed on steam platform and i think Eva gonna use that same method if she releases her game to steam

Incest aside, what's in GGGB that couldn't be on steam?
