VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch. 13.2 Alpha] [Eva Kiss]

[fatpussy123]

So I, like everyone here was confused about who's perspective we would be seeing for this next update. I was always under the impression that part 1 was Ian and part 2 was Lena. Now recently Eva has cast doubt on that version of what will be releasing.

This is confusing. I went back to all the post on the patreon and skimmed for mentions of "Ian's part" or "Lena's part" from the past year starting in January 1st 2024. They don't seem to be mentioned, atleast not on the public posts. This was a very mandella effect situation for me because I remembered explaining on this thread how the update would be structuted. So either I misremembered or spread misinformation. I went back to my own posts where I described the 2 part structure. Turns out we weren't wrong. Eva did make the distinction between an Ian part and a Lena part.

In October 2023, Eva said Lena's part of the chapter would come after Ian's/the beach event and would feature "big events". More recently Eva said the final part of the beach event would end the chapter. So are Lena's big events part of this release? or did they get pushed back?

Now we know Ian will have a POV segment in this next update, but Eva never said Lena didn't.
So that leaves us with a couple options:
1) Part 2 is all Ian and chapter 13 will be Lena focused because Eva changed her original plans
2) Part 2 is all Ian and Lena gets a Part 3 of chapter 12
3) Part 2 is mostly Ian and Lena gets equal to Ian or less than Ian POV content, her big events are pushed to chapter 13
4) Part 2 is mostly Lena and Ian gets small POV content at the beach, Lena's big events are at the beach

Yeah the wording is a bit confusing. All the chapters so far have been playable from both perspectives and if that's changed going forward I'll be really disappointed especially if that means Lena can't interact with Holly/Emma during the trip.

"Cap off this long chapter" could just mean Ian's perspective at the beach house will be done and we will move to Lena's perspective (that's sadly not at the beach house) for chapter 12.

I think earlier Eva only planned dividing the chapter 12 update in two parts, part 1 for Ian and part 2 for Lena but somewhere down the line, the plans changed and now it seems like the update is probably divided into 4 parts.

So Eva said in one update that the end of this chapter will cause a lot of the relationships to be fully defined. I assume this means Ian is moving out of Perry's apartment at the end one way or the other.

There could be multiple endings: Perry finds out Ian slept with his crush and kicks him out, Ian gets tired of Perry being a drunk jerkass and moves out voluntarily, Cindy shows up and reveals that she only wants to be with Ian and Perry kicks him out, Lena dumps Ian and he moves out.

I'm also curious if being on the Seymour path will lead to Lena finally fucking Seymour. The photoshoot he teased causes her to be whisked away to whichever city she mentioned when they had dinner together, and the silver fox stakes his claim to Lena, fucking her brains out in a photo studio in a foreign country.

Seymour's storyline has been a big letdown so far. It peaked around the second photoshoot and never recovered. I hope it picks up soon. It's especially hilarious on a whore path when she shows up fully tatted up to Seymour's office to get 'corrupted' after fucking half the city and doing drugs, and he says something like: 'I wasn't sure about your tattoos, but I guess I like them.' Sure you do, you fucking dork.

This sounds too vague for me.
Heck, right around the end of the first part of this chapter Ian can make progress with Ivy and Louise, two girls he hasn't even started dating.

As I theorized before, a bunch of set-ups were made, so the next part could solidify Ian/Lena maintaining/breaking up/cheating. Also the Holly trinity is close (Ian could just choose to like or dislike it) and Emma got a first love option.

Another aspect was the present that Ian could only buy to girls he loves, so entering a more serious stage beyond casual hookup could happen.

Cindy could decide to break up, since Ian responded in various ways on their last date, so that relationship hopefully progresses.

It's especially hilarious on a whore path when she shows up fully tatted up to Seymour's office to get 'corrupted' after fucking half the city and doing drugs, and he says something like: 'I wasn't sure about your tattoos, but I guess I like them.' Sure you do, you fucking dork.

Lena doesn't have that street whore look that Ashley and Jessica pulled off. Even corrupted Lena still maintains a certain beauty in grace lookwise. The tatoos are tastefull compared to the epic "Daddys girl".

Whats the name of that girl who works with Evakiss and posts here looking for bugs?
Maybe she can come and clarify things.

So that leaves us with a couple options:

As far as i understand, the beach trip is supposed to be (almost) entirely Ian's part of Chapter 12. But because of the size/length of development, EK has split this half in two parts and pushed first part (relatively) early.

After the second part of Ian's half is wrapped up (this is the pending installment) it will be time for Lena's half of Chapter 12.

Could be the case. But if it is, then either Eva didn't communicate it well at all here or she changed her mind later.

Hate to break it to you buddy but that is never gonna happen. Closest thing we're gonna get is him doing it by proxy through Axel.

This game is really cool, and inspiring! Can't wait for next release

Cindy's first photoshoot with Axel.
- "Let her go on"
- That's enough

 

[Mr_Ainz]

I feel like if the Dev wrote down the scenes and/or models used for reference they could maybe post on patreon. Seems like an easy job from a content perspective. At least it'd entertain people enough so that they don¡t immediately go back to dateline discussion.

 

[osculim]

Quick question before I give this a go. Do you have to play both female and male protagenist at once or can you play either ?

You have to play both, the perspective alternates between the two MCs

 

[johnsman]

Is this update gonna be from lenas persperctibe?

 

[lucadiadis]

According to EK's last reply to her dummy patreons, seemingly not. Still Ian's POV. By the time we play Lena the war in Ukraine will be over.

 

[Xupuzulla]

Im still confused about this whole beach house bullshit all i know i want to play with Lena now
