I also think in October. It seems to be really a huge update. I also think this will be the last update in 2021. Who knows...

Chapter 9 weekly status report (3)
I'm back with the status reports, which have been anything but weekly lately. I apologize for that and now that the vacation is out of the way I promise to be more regular with these again.
I've finally started writing the episode after a month and a half of working both in the structure and drawings. This will be the update with the highest art count, with around 100 new illustrations. I was trusting in finding someone to help with the line drawing part of the process, but it's not been easy and I wasn't successful. I guess I will need to take care of the ones left myself, and I will do so as I write. Most of the drawings are already done anyway, especially the most important ones.
The narrative structure for this chapter is proving really difficult to articulate, and I'm still trying to figure out an optimal one. This has been a burden, especially mentally, since I'm trying to account for many elements and tie them together, adding the new scenes in a sequence that makes sense and is enjoyable and well paced. To avoid stalling, I've started writing independent scenes that I have already worked. Meanwhile I will continue to tweak the overall structure and stitch everything together once I've made sense of it all.
Also, I've hired a programmer to help me with some aspects of the game and add some very requested features. Aside from a lot of code and size optimization, we're adding a scene gallery and polishing some other features. Once that is done, we'll look to create a stable Android port (finally!).
Now, about a release date: all I can do at this point is estimate, but I think I will need at least one month to tackle the writing and the other tasks. I'll know more when I see how work progresses this coming weeks, but I want to avoid by all means possible releasing Chapter 9 later than September. I got used to release every month with GGGB and taking so much time with the latest chapters in ORS has me quite frustrated and on edge, as I want to make the story progress and there's so much cool stuff I want to share with you, but ultimately I think taking the extra time is ultimately worth it. My goal is that you guys think the same when Chapter 9 finally releases, so I'll do my best to deliver!
That's all for now. I'll keep showing you development stuff and sneak peeks as work on Chapter 9 progresses. Thank you for following it's development!

It's good to hear from Eva again but I also think the Release will be October (Alpha maybe End of September if she can write without too many Problems but she should take her time with it). I think we all know by now that with each Update there are more and more possible Options and Scenarios in this Game so it definitely is not easy. But I can see her determination with this Project so I'm not worried at all about the future of ORS and I'm really looking forward to it!

It's interesting that there are so many new Illustrations in the upcoming Chapter so maybe the whole Lena-going-Home Story Arc could be bigger than expected and we will see new Places and Scenarios for her. This and the possible Ian-Alison-Trip could explain why there are many new Illustrations because there will be new Places we've never seen before?!

TBH, I think it will largely be due to the new Ian outfits. You'd potentially have to draw some of the same scenes 4 times.

Eh, with modular pictures Eva would only have to draw Ian's different outfits and then use game logic to choose which one to render on top of the base picture, this is still a lot of work if the scene is zoomed in on Ian, but if he is in the background then it is not as much work as drawing a whole new scene.

Also I expect Eva to have Ian be shirtless for most of the sex scenes (which would be the scenes more likely to be zoomed on Ian), hence why she chose to have him wear the same pants in every outfit. I really don't expect Ian's outfits to be cause for the game's illustrations numbers bloating significantly.

Not the whole scenes though, just Ian's his top half (seeing as he always has the same pants), and only if/while he's wearing it. But it does make a few more then 4 if any of those 'clothed' scenes of Ian are with Lena wearing an outfit that the player has picked for her too. My guess is that Eva will minimise the clothed scenes in game for that reason. It will get crazy.

Unlikely that will happen, seeing as Eva already said she doesn't want to have the same kind of scenarios she already used in GGGB, so there probably won't be any dad/daughter incest. There could be mum/daughter though, considering that the game has made a point of showing the rocky relationship between Lena and her mum, and there may be room for her to work on that relationship in non-conventional ways as/after her mum recovers.

I don't think it's very kind to discourage people from engaging with the things they like.

It wasn't kind, I hope Osodrac13 goes to confession and plants his daily tomato.

Shame on you Ser.

Capital!

Very excited to see the future possibilities of this story.

Greatly inclined to give multiple replays and go for several routes.

Edit: Also hope to see more of Stan, seems like a good lad.

Blackmailing with Ed, cuckold with Ian's father, incest in Lena's family, pregnancies ... The ideas here are getting crazier and crazier. I'm glad it's a "decent" and sophisticated game without the usual porn games stuff. I hope that won't change that much either. So far it has been going great.

She does use similar archetypes though, so i could see her having a semi-similar plotline with a different twist on it, like perhaps Ed will fill this role, since him Lena and Molly have a family dynamic, especially with Lena seeing Molly as a maternal figure in her life.

the Mom idea is interesting though, that would still be similar to GGGB.
