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

[BlandChili]

Damn the "fuckboi duo" gave me a good laugh Thanks for that!

But speaking of the fuckboi duo I still hope there will be some very good Ian/Ivy and Lena/Jeremy Scenes in the future.

Or other mixes of those pairings, Ian and Jeremy doing either of the girls at the same time, or both the girls with one of the men.

I'm not really interested in Ian or Jeremy by themselves, as characters, but if there were a scenario down the line where Ian/Lena and Jeremy/Ivy became semi-open relationships where they fucked around with each other, that could be interesting. The old friends sharing each other's girls/boys.

Like Ian with Jeremy?

In chapter 7, Seymour and Axel only appear in Lena's dreams though, as far as I know.

Oh wait, Axel also appears near the end at the club, when he meets Cindy.

Seymour is also at the book fair if you go with Holly.

Axel has a guy’s night with Ian at Shine.

Also, I'm wondering if Ian would someday have a body like Mike or Axel if he continues with the gym. I would like to see Ian with biceps and abs.

Why you guys have such needs for things that would make very suptil but very hard to make? I honestly dont get it.. I dont want lena's visual to change like that because it would make developing this a real nightmare.. updates will start taking longer.. for such a simple thing.. its not worth it

 

[Mpkstroff]

So.. I dont see anyone mentioning the ex of Ian (forgot the name).
Nobody think she will return?

 

[BlandChili]

Like Ian with Jeremy?

Given the prominence of Jeremy's little "Jerry" in the photos he sends Ian, it wouldn't surprise me if it became an actual option!

 

[CassidyPRO]

Lena/Jeremy is bound to happen sooner or later
Most of all she needs him so that she can take her own deepthroat skills to the next level

i can already tell you that one of the paths will be jeremy keeping that ian is fucking cindy a secret but demanding him to take a share of both cindy and lena.

 

[Reasoon]

I'm asking this myself since I started playing the Game. I mean we have Lena/Axel so Ian/Gillian would be fair and also could bring a lot more drama for Ian since he really suffered after this breakup.

But If I remember correctly someone here mentioned that Eva said Gillian will not appear in the Game?!

 

[BlandChili]

But If I remember correctly someone here mentioned that Eva said Gillian will not appear in the Game?!

Yes, supposedly she addressed this directly.

She could change her mind, who knows? For now I wouldn't expect her though.

Honestly this. I feel the Louise/Lena path has been a bit hard to get a proper sense of direction of because it's almost purely sexual so far (like with Robert and Mike).
Hard to really tell if it will stay that way or if they will get to fall in love too. Lena's been a bit dismissive of the whole thing in some scenes, as far as I recall.
Would also be nice with an alternate starting point now that she has two ways of ending things with Jeremy, I didn't like the original option to get with Louise, at least not when I play Lena as less promiscuous.

Yup! Ideally an alternate starting point, or at least some scene that… I don't know, makes the mutual attraction between them more believable also in a not purely sexual way. Lena's decision to have sex with Louise or not feels a bit random. And Louise's interest in Lena reminds me of the same naive idolizing that she's already shown Jeremy.

I can't remember Lena being dismissive to Louise, she was mentally dominating her. She never put her down, in fact she is quite appreciative of Louise's efforts. Louise completely and unquestioningly submitting to her makes it obvious how their relationship will evolve. Lena will probably have the choice to openly dominating her (DID I MENTION THE COLLAR!!! )

Yeah, submissive Louise is the one version of their relationship that seems bound to happen. I'm looking forward to that as well! But I'm also curious to see what the alternative will be. Did Lena think specifically about Louise when she saw the collar, by the way? Or was it about Axel?

Lena, Alison and Holly are most likely possible Girlfriend Options for Ian but Cindy could also just become some sort of "cheating affair" or do you think she actually could become Ian's Girlfriend at some point?

I think there will be a lot of scenarios, but I would be very surprised if a romantic relationship isn't among them. Ian and Cindy have been given so many scenes already, Cindy is among the most popular characters, and their mutual attraction seems to be bigger than purely sexual.

There's probably a whole bunch of different variables affecting it, though. Ian's relationship to both Cindy and Wade, Cindy's relationship to Wade, and whether they stop at some point or not. And if Jeremy and Ivy catches them, there's probably several different variables playing in as well. Of course, cheating with the girlfriend of one of your best friends ends badly more often than not, so I think it's sensible to make it difficult to achieve a good ending between them.

I just realized ivy knows both that ian fucked cindy and lena blew jeremy

I actually hadn't thought about the implications of that. That's surely the kind of potential leverage that could lead to some interesting scenarios…

 

[Deleted member 3064965]

Last i remember it is something very random: who Ian sleeps with (not sure which woman now).

That was changed. Now we get bad Jess if Lena sleeps with Robert or Mike, and good Jess if she doesn't.

i can already tell you that one of the paths will be jeremy keeping that ian is fucking cindy a secret but demanding him to take a share of both cindy and lena.

I can see some version of that happening. I think we'll see more of these GGGB type scenarios in the coming episodes, now that the story and the characters have been thoroughly established.

Guess i will need to replay the game again since i already got drugged Jessica because of Ian's choices ingame. Still very weird that a main character from the previous game (who can be romanced) got her destiny based into the random choice of partners from someone she doesn't even know.

I didn't like it because it's an emotionally sensitive time for Louise, having just broken up with her boyfriend in a very hectic and public manner. If I was Lena in that situation I would feel like I was taking advantage of her, if her interest is purely sexual.

It's what's kept me from really pursuing a Louise route.

Yes. That invitation of Billy's give me the same vibe that the party with Tyron (was his name?) and all the black dudes in GGGB.

I think it sorta makes sense being tied to Lena. If you choose to be bad GGGB then you'll probably be bad in Our Red String kinda if like the sluttiest timeline of events.

With regards to this, I was taking a peek at the characters' variables in the game, and I noticed that Ian has a variable called physique. Don't know if it's just a variable that makes him stronger in a fight or if it's going to have implications in the graphics. I tend to agree with you, I believe that Eva would only change his build visibly towards the end of the game at the most. It's way too much work to make it something that detailed all throughout the game.

i can already tell you that one of the paths will be jeremy keeping that ian is fucking cindy a secret but demanding him to take a share of both cindy and lena.

Looking forward to that kind of plot unfolding

Because it's damn heresy

Well, thinking about all of the female characters in the game, some distinction should be made. I would never fuck Alison, Louise or Minerva or Agnes, but I would fuck Cindy anytime. Clearly along with Holly, and Lena, and Emma, and Cherry, and Ivy...

Alison's an amazon, she deserves some love... And Louise, you're not into clingy goth sub gf?

All the others are good picks.

 

[Massi89]

Alison looks like the most plain and obvious image of a model to me, I don't vibe with her.
I am more into girls that look less godlike and a bit more human
About Louise, I wouldn't mind the goth look but I don't like her stern expressions. She looks like him:

yes, i think it's obvious that Eva has some plans with good and bad Jess, and since she has implemented both, you have to find a way to determine which Jess gets which playthrough.

like Pizzapockets said, it makes a lot of sense to attach that to your choice of Lena, because of two reasons i can think of:
1. when you want to have Jess play a role in future scenes, you have to find a way that those scenes don't feel constructed, as well as to don't make you feel the scene misses if you have a different Jess. the best way to do that is to couple that scene with a route you're taking. for example, you're in a club with Jess and are about to take drugs, of course Jess follows you to do the same, since both of you are "bad". now you're actually on the good path, where is Jess then, is she still taking drugs? of course not, since she is also "good" and you're actually at the tattoo parlour with Holly.
that's why i think it was first on Ian's part, since Eva thought it would be good to make it only possible to score with Jess if Ian is a playboy.
2. with how big the game already is and tendency says it gets only bigger, it's sensible to establish earlier which Jess you get, to get locked in that certain path and not have any hiccups later in development. meaning that for later scenes she only has to look after which Jess you have, to determine which scenes you get and not be surprised that you got a "good" Jess scene in your "bad" Jess playthough, or the other way around. for example, you convinced Ivy to rethink her life, this makes her help Jess, so you get "good" Jess. however your Lena is still a total slut and therefore meets "bad" Jess in a club, because of an oversight of Eva, or you're using the cheatmode and have too high lust points. sure that's mostly bugs, but taking care of them is additional time in the creation of chapters

 

[dontcarewhateverno]

Well, chapter 7 introduced Billy as a new character, not sure how much he is going to be involved in the relationships among the more important characters, he might be a side character like Danny or he might be something more considering that he's Jeremy's friend, hard to tell at the moment. But it's quite evident that we will be able to enhance Lena's career as a model if we want to. Ivy, Holly and Louise might get involved in that too.

I'd put my money on a major corruption route with Billy well over tiny side character like Danny. He'll likely facilitate this game's version of the pool party, drug route and possibly professional AVN-level porn star route as well. The old rich guy (forget his game) is the alternate control/corruption route with a heavier mental Svengali kink, though I'm sure you'll be able to include both in the same run, albeit with different endings.
