Hi guys,

Sorry for the recent lack of status report updates; I've been putting it off since I can't share much yet and I struggle to come up with something that's worth sharing. As always, I've been focusing my attention and effort in developing the new chapter, prioritizing the script.

It's been a bit hard being as productive as I would've liked these past weeks (got hit by the flu, had some remodelations done in my home office, and the artists I was collaborating with decided to ghost me and run away with the money), but I've been getting things back on track.

At least the backgrounds are ready! I've been working on the art too, and now I can finish off some illustrations with the appropriate backgrounds, while I conduct a new search and tryouts for artist to help me speed up the production.

Aside from that, I can't think of much else to discuss at the moment. I wish I could tell you about this or that scene I finished writing, the challenges it presented, or share some of the images I've been completing, but of course that would spoil things. I will show you something I found while digging through my files though, and that seemed curious enough:



When I was building the first iteration of Our Red String I went through several designs, in this case I was trying out different text boxes. I also created some extra outfits for some characters that were never used (but I might use some of them in the future).

Are you interested in seeing more discarded designs and prototypes from the inception of ORS? If so, let me know and I'll make a post for my patrons; at least I get to share something with you while I keep working on Chapter 12.

And people asking why developers don't want to hire a team.

That's why you pay artists for the work that's done, not upfront. Not sure why EK would pay someone for nothing. First time I hear of that happening in the VN scene. Usually you'd get samples from artists you try out, then commission sets of renders or whatever art you want, and upon delivery you pay. This is weird. Plus she's got the flu, remodeling of her home office...all at once.

One would think that all of these things were enough fuel to justify status updates instead of not posting anything.

We don't know the details of her working relationship with the artist so I wouldn't immediately say Eva made such a massive blunder or is lying about it.

It could be that she has been working with this artist for the past few chapters and didn't expect them to just vanish with the money previously paid. Perhaps they get paid on a monthly wage and again the artist didn't respond in all of February.

Theres too much unknown and it's not like EK said no progress was made, so it honestly doesn't matter.

REEEEE This is like Lust Campus or what ever where the artist stop a few chapters in (due to different problem than this, but still...) and main production is fucked. REEEEEEE.

Side note. Anyone have a reaction image of enraged pepe shooting a pistol in the air?

EK can draw though. Development cycle would be longer but she herself can draw.

Lust Campus in comparison, was a complete restart

Much like people "wouldn't pay for nothing" artists won't do work entirely for free and risk getting screwed out of payment. It's not unusual for the artist to be paid some advance, so there's some (limited) risk for both parties involved rather than have it all placed on one party. If they then decided that's enough and ran, well.

Man, that was a pretty good outfit for Lena. I wonder if that was supposed to be one of her primary outfits or if it was originally planned for a special occasion, like a trip to Vixxen.

All i want is CindyXJeremy, Lena can join them.

Won't happen, since nothing of them was build up during the first eleven chapters (and it would needed to be).
Also, they are incompatible. Cindy wants a boyfriend and Jeremy doesn't want a girlfriend.

Eva got cucked? Man, no one is safe.

Assuming of course that its true and not just one carefully casually placed line to distract that the rest of the update informs us about nothing. Is Eva not in a situation in which they could demand work first and pay later? They are not some random untracable Anon, they have a name and reputation.
