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

[TLouis2]

Hello all.

Just wanted to verify that the lesbian options for Lena are: Holly, Ivy, and Louise. Wanted to see if I missed any. Would've missed the Minerva option for Ian without some helpful comments here.

Thank you. Enjoying the game far more than I though I would.

Asking again hoping someone will upload the CGs for the latest update can’t play atm would appreciate it

There is a girl, Eli, that Lena can flirt with. She has no actual sexual content yet though.

He is an annoying twerp isn't he?
But this got me thinking, with Perry's disclosure that he's experimented in...both lanes in the past, should we be able to try to set him up with someone else than Emma (she's mine!), say...Jeremy or Marcel?
I feel that would be...progressive for him and the city, oh yes!

No, he likes women with dicks, so we should pair him with Jasmine.

At least for now, all download links for the android version have the pc version. And in the version available on Kraken, I can't download the app, it's just a file with many archives but without the apk file to download the game on Android.

You forgot big booty Emma.

I actually prefer Holly's non-promiscuous route. To be clear, I'm cool with characters slutting it up in different ways, but having Holly on her non-promiscuous route adds some more variety.

Me too. Art, story, characters with different personalities, variety, choices that actually matter is what makes this game so good.

Same, especially since almost every women here in Baluart is rather promiscuous. I wish to make her see that being confident does not translate into being slutty...

Indeed I did, but she's been predicted for so long now that I almost fear Eva has forgotten. With the admission during the beach trip perhaps there will be something soon..

Ironically enough, all drawings in the game are traced photos/movies of real people. If EK wanted photorealistic they could've simply used the source images instead of turning RL into drawings and then back. You don't need AI to "make it possible", it already is.

Real porn/realistic AI isn't allowed on Patreon. Eva knows this, so that's why her tracing is cartoonish.

Pretty sure, that would get you legally in hot water. Yes, I know...a lot of games kinda get away with it, but most of them are smaller HTML games. It would have her stand on shaky legal ground at the least. Also of course the photos wouldn't be homogenized in any way. It is one thing to trace the lines from a photo and put it in an different background and potentially put other faces into it. But just taking a photo with a set background/setting and persons on it, would actually make things more difficult and less immersive in some ways.

If EK just take irl pornpics, then her two games would have become another visual novel, ones of thousands. The drawn style of gggb and ors is ones of the main distinguishing features that distinguish EK games from other visual novels and not only visual.
It's unlikely that her games would have become so popular without her artstyle. There's nothing special about plot their in her games. imho

I'm not talking about the legal aspect of it, just found the breathless "look what the ai can do" rather silly given it's effectively just undoing what EK has done to original material. (and with a certain dose of uncanny valley thrown in) :v

Well, fairly sure photos of the same actress would be quite homogenized appearance-wise given it's, you know, actually the same person. Backgrounds are another story obv, but they're replaced anyway.

I would also attribute it to her art style. In GGGB it was also traced but more details were kept. Now in ORS the characters skins are much smoother and there is infinitely more attention to lighting. Eva Kiss' current art style is a big positive for the game and imo makes it look better than AI, real porn, or 3D games.

I 100% agree with you on this. The first thing that drew me to this game was the art style. I'm not really into the 3DCG renders and I don't like the exaggerated proportions that other games employ to their characters. I can understand a stylistic approach but most of the time the exaggerated proportions are done in bad taste. So when I saw this games art, I was instantly intrigued.

If Cindy, Lena, Ivy, Emma, and Holly were real and not digital illustrations, they might look something like their photorealistic counterparts here. AI makes it possible. View attachment 4199343 View attachment 4199344 View attachment 4199345 View attachment 4199346 View attachment 4199347

Congratulations, it's shit.

What she or anyone else is doing is mainly a stop-gap though. It allows you to create, what you want on the cheap, without needing to pay real actors and actresses. I'll see what people will prefer if they can choose between games that are very similar content wise but one looks actually real and the other uses 2D or 3D arts like ORS or the Daz games we have now.

Well, fairly sure photos of the same actress would be quite homogenized appearance-wise given it's, you know, actually the same person. Backgrounds are another story obv, but they're replaced anyway.

It really isn't as easy as that, since you rarely have just one person on every single render. Maybe you could use some photo of them as the paper doll, but for every scene you would need to use the same actors and actresses for the same character or it would be weird. So you would now need someone that could be "Ian" and someone that could be "Lena" and they not only need to have enough scenes with each other but also with other people that could than be the other characters who also need to have interaction with each other...

You also need to find fitting photos or you have to write your story around the photos that you can get, reducing your freedom for the writing process. With AI you could have the same looking characters do whatever you want in whatever environment you choose without any potential legal repercussions and they would all look like real people in real environments. We'll see if almost every game will at one point go that path or if more "artsy" approaches by people that are actually able to do them will remain.

Had me in the first half.

New progress update posted. Can't read it all, but the preview line mentions Ian can text with some people in the ch. 12 epilogue now.
