For Lena just a several ways, good girl with Ian or slut with porno videos ect with anybody. Just not enough resources to plot game with different people stories.

I understand you

 

[Gicoo]

Not enough religious attributes for such a Christian family that even shy people-pleaser Holly can barely stand.

The picture on the wall looks like Alison's portrait / photo to me.

The room is servicable enough to pass for an antiquated family. Don't need to shower it with crosses.

Visited discord today and you more or less confirmed it, so why even bother speculating.

I feel like my guess in itself could spoil things so I'd rather not risk it. Although considering one of the previous teases, I think it's fairly obvious whose place is it, and for what purpose it will be used...

I was dismissing Alison, since it is unlikely to visit her as long as she stays by her parents. However, the threesome has to be somewhere, so it makes sense to visit her there for such a special event.

I would say it is easy to guess what will happen in this room.

It's a mere office affair with Minerva. Why would Ian bother to visit her?

My guess is Holly (more specifically, her parents living room).

Yeah, that might be a better suggestion than mine. I didn't think about the fact that Holly (and Alison) live at home. Could be one of those two.

I see this as the home of Holly, or indeed Minerva.
I just can't imagine this house design and Jeremy, it just doesn't fit.

Yeah, definitely not Jeremy. My slightly confusingly point was that Jeremy is the one character I’ve assumed will get a new background in this chapter—but that this for certain is not his apartment.

I don't think we will meet anyones parents as that would be adding meaningless characters. Even when Lena visited her parents that was never shown in the game. Also who painted this portrait? There are 3 to 5 paintings in this room. So my guess this is an artists home, Ed/Molly.

Yeah, Ian’s or Lena’s parents seem unlikely, as it wouldn’t be much point in wasting a background on it, and it would most likely involve that the parents show up as well. With Holly and Alison you could just have Ian or Lena visit them without their parents being at home.

I was wondering if that portrait on the wall was a painting of a photo … or a painting of a painting/drawing. If it’s the latter, Ed and Molly seems more likely. Molly as a young babe, drawn by the young stud Ed. I think the interiors look like it’s the home of someone in their sixties or older, though it doesn’t seem like the most obvious place for Lena to visit in the immediate future.

 

[mradfre]

but the Lena x Ed path never really started

 

[Arata20]

Lena x Ed path never really started

It will be like with Ethan in GGGB - somewhere at the end of the game there is one small scene.

p.s. i so hoped in gggb for part of Ethan.
p.s.s. yes, i know that there is a whole way of events with Ethan, but in fact this path is Ashley's mom, not Ethan himself.

 

[Reaurt]

Huh. I've had this idea that we'll probably see Jeremy's appartment in the next chapter, because Lena needs to have a talk with him, and they can't keep doing that at Lena's appartment forever with Louise nearby. But this is absolutely not Jeremy's appartment (it might be the other one).

But with Alison and Holly, why would you stay in their parents living room? Everything interesting is bound to happen in their bedroom.

It looks like a painting to me. That is not a pose you photograph someone in.

The rocking chair points to someone taking naps at day, someone old or someone who is sick. Like Molly who is 59 and often too weak to work.
We also have to consider why this room is necessary. I don't see a reason to visit Holly or Minerva and stay in the living room. For Alison we need a place for the threesome, OK. But why the living room of her parents and not her bedroom? Also Jeremy should have his own place, Ians's room would work if Perry is away. Isn't he still helping out in the cafe? For Ed, Lena could agree to pose for a painting. That would continue Ed's path as she already posed for him at the cafe.
So Ed seem most likely to me by far, followed by Alison's threesome (maybe they just don't make it into the bedroom ). For Holly and Minerva it should be a bedroom. Minerva is also just 40.

Jeremy is suspiciously one-dimensional as a character. This is exactly what he needs to add some depth behind the facade. Eva Kiss master move

Yeah, I’m leaning towards a painting myself. Also you’re absolutely right that it would be weird to stay in the living room if it’s at Holly’s or Alison’s place. The painting looks closest to Alison or Minerva, but far from close enough to be certain about it, so it might as well be a young Molly—or someone completely random. But I think Cindy and Wade had a picture of them on the nightstand, so it seems more likely that Eva would place a picture of one of the characters there than just a random portrait.

Eva said earlier that she considered dropping the path with Lena and Ed, and instead add it after the game was completed. Considering that’s several chapters ago, I assume she went for that plan—at least at some point. But it also seems like she stopped stressing that much about getting updates out at a certain interval, and instead take the time necessary. With that change it also makes more sense to pick up Ed’s path, I guess.

Also it would be a good point to pick it up with the restrictions Seymour’s placed on her modelling career, even though posing for Ed obviously isn’t gonna make her rich. A sex scene between the two seems very premature—but a innocent nude drawing session … that still ends up adding some weird sexual tension between them: more plausible.

All right, I’m officially convinced.

jesus know I have jeremy as the godfather in my head with all the art in background in the endscene ian what I have ever done to threat me so disrespectful

 

[JoJoPool]

It's obviously Holly's place (like 96% sure) the book painting and the decoration/furniture style has a bookworm vibe to it.

 

[dundun]

Yes, when the game consists of images itself it's easy to overlook that a picture within the game is different from its normal images. It can be decades old so people can look very different. All we can see is a woman with long brownish hair. Yes, Alison looks closest to that now, but in the past? So it can be literally anyone. Hell, it could be Ivy or does anyone think that is her natural haircolor?

But I think Cindy and Wade had a picture of them on the nightstand, so it seems more likely that Eva would place a picture of one of the characters there than just a random portrait.

Yes, a photograph of both of them together. Very normal. But who has a painting themself or their children on the wall?

She said it was on backburner for now but not yet decided. And that was not chapters ago, it was last year after chapter 9. It just seems that long
And yes, the problems she is having make it more likely that he'll get canned. That's actually the strongest argument against this being Ed's livingroom. On the other hand his scenes should be very linear to write as there are no interferences with other paths. So maybe she is going for an easy win.

As for sex, I doubt that is still in the picture. In the early chapters she could use her body to get some hours off and he would then walk into her changing clothes and posting on her peoplegram. That has been completely gone from the game. The storyline has only continued once, him drawing when she was posing in the cafe but that has been completey asexual. But I guess I have whined enough about that already

 

[dontcarewhateverno]

Seems like a psychiatrist office. Ian's Dad, Dr Jordan Peterson. I don't see any reason to show Ian's parents' home though, or a psychiatrist's office out of the blue. Seems too clinical and not lived-in enough for Ed/Molly. My guess is Holly's parents home. I don't see Holly, even in the more corrupted path so far, inviting anyone over to bang in her room at her parents' house (though she might be convinced once MC is there), so the living room would make more sense. The pen, quill and candle painting has a potential religious feel to it too. Though the art-deco poop painting contradicts it and is something I wouldn't expect from her parents, so who knows? Contenders imo are her parent's house, Minerva's, or Allison's parents. I don't see much reason to visit Minerva though & assume Allison would spend way more time in the bedroom with her feet in the air.

Ah, you’re right. The remake was also a missed opportunity to add some content with him, I think that’s why I imagined it was longer ago. And why I’d concluded that she’d decided to skip it for now.

And yes, the problems she is having make it more likely that he'll get canned. That's actually the strongest argument against this being Ed's livingroom.

I actually meant the other way around. That Eva seems to stress slightly less about the release schedule, as an argument that she might add Ed content. I think it was chapter 8 she seemed a bit dissatisfied with, and I got the impression she had compromised too much on the quality to get it out within the usual schedule.

She’s still stressing to get updates finished, but it seems to me she’s accepted that it takes the time it takes, which in turn removes some of the motive to save time by skipping Ed’s content.

But you’re right that the complexity issues could also be an argument for the opposite.

As for sex, I doubt that is still in the picture. In the early chapters she could use her body to get some hours off and he would then walk into her changing clothes and posting on her peoplegram. That has been completely gone from the game.

But wasn’t it just the Peoplegram detail that was removed? Ed can still walk in when she’s changing, I think?

I can’t really see how Eva would prioritise Ed’s living room as a background if it didn’t eventually involve some lewd stuff. From the top of my head Stan’s room is the only background I can think of without any sexual content, excluding public places. And even he has had his dick out with Lena’s nudes all over his gaming setup.

I don't think she 'accepted that it takes the time it takes', she seems to feel guilty about taking so long. She wanted to pause her Patreon from February onward and she wanted to release Ian's part early. Just read her post from Jan 29. Unfortunately it only has gotten worse.

But wasn’t it just the Peoplegram detail that was removed? Ed can still walk in when she’s changing, I think?

Nothing was removed. But after the first 2 chapters nothing happens any more. He walked in on her once, posted on her peoplegram once and then was a perfectly boring gentleman for the last 2 months!

I can’t really see how Eva would prioritise Ed’s living room as a background if it didn’t eventually involve some lewd stuff. From the top of my head Stan’s room is the only background I can think of without any sexual content, excluding public places. And even he has had his dick out with Lena’s nudes all over his gaming setup.

Well, yes. Maybe she had planned for a real path and had the background lying around for 2 years and now decided to finally use it?
I mean what could actually happen? He telling her for the umpteenth time how beautiful she is and then? All I can think of is Lena getting aroused by his admiration. Which is already Stan's path.
So I fear it will be a nonsexual path about an artist regaining her passion for her art. I meant his! His, of course!

This week I've been making progress in the writing department while working on the art simultaneously. All the major illustrations are already drawn (I'll probably add a few extra ones at the end) and I'm painting over all the colored illustrations to get them fully ready. In this chapter I've wanted to give you quite a lot of control about outfit selection, and that means that some individual illustrations have up to 11 variations, plus layered tattoos and piercings. That makes working on those images pretty cumbersome, but hopefully the result will be worth it.
I've also added 4 new music tracks to the game, and two new backgrounds for this chapter. Here's one:

I will keep focusing on finishing Lena's scenes (3 major lewd scenes remain to be done, plus the surrounding interactions). I want to finish writing the chapter as quickly as possible but I also want to include as much content as I can, giving almost every character a spot to advance the plot.
I'm going for the final push, so hopefully I can start wrapping things up soon. Again, thanks for your patience and support!

Definitely Minerva room!
Only her have ego big enough to put a young photo of herself in the wall

But who has a painting themself or their children on the wall?

Maybe the parents who are very proud of their child? Especially if they have high expectations ("Look at them, they're so special!"). For some reason I think if Ian was the son his parents were proud of, they might have his picture or even painting hanging on the wall, much to his discomfort and embarrassment. From what we know, Ian has upper-middle class parents, Perry's father is a mayor, Jeremy's parents probably are not doing bad either if his best childhood friend is a kid of someone very rich. Cindy has a daddy who is probably a CEO of a firm (she works in his company). Only the status of Emma and Alison's parents is a mystery, but by real life logic I imagine it was an expensive school they all had to attend (people who are financially successful tend to take their kids' education very seriously and probably wouldn't pick a public highschool). So I imagine anyone of Ian's friends could have vain parents.
