i don't know is it because of very complex game or other reasons you were mentioning here but eva's updates are coming with more and more time distance between. now this one is coming close to 4 months between. and if continued that way it could be 3-4 years until end as you said.No way a year. GGGB is a shorter and less complex game and it took much longer than that. With how long ORS is shaping up to be and the complexity of it I'm assuming 3-4 years
Dude, you should quit that daytime job and start devoting your whole life to making guides for porn gamesunlike Eva I have a full-time job and the guide(s) to take care of.
These focus points are obviously similar to every other chapter, but I'm looking forward to see if the structure of the events is even more complex in this chapter. Characters like Axel, Holly, Jeremy and Seymour are about to or have just recently become sexual options for the protagonists, and they're different to i.e. Mike and Alison in the sense that they're involved in both Lena's and Ian's side of the story to a much bigger extent. That definitely makes things more complex and the stories even more intertwined.![]()

Chapter 9 weekly status report (6)
[…]
I've been trying to write deep and interactive conversations and sex scenes that offer more than a simple yes/no, right/wrong choice, and maybe I'm making things more complicated than they should (what a surprise), especially in how the events are timed and linked together depending on your choices.
The problem isn't that it's almost october, 1 or 2 week more isn't a drama. The problem is that she said '' I would kick myself in the teeth so hard if I can't get this chapter out before the end of September'' why you have to do this sort of promises? This very common and childish for the creators. Nobody ask you a deadline but if you say that, you have to do that.Now that she updated the status, I bet the some of you will still complain ‘BuT iT’s aLmOst OcToBeR!?’
Looking forward to see how complicated she make the routes and consequences collide.
As for the location, I bet Lena falls prey to Axel at his apartment and Seymour at his work this chapter.
I'm sure there is a budget concern, which is why I'm suggesting profit sharing there. Fresh talent will often work for peanuts on their own in their spare time when getting into an exciting industry new to them, like games. But that's exploitative and promotes burn-out when it's someone else's project. When profit-sharing is offered on top of minimal pay, it's a personal investment above "work for experience" and contributors feel more like a real part of the project, with a solid financial payoff if the project is successful (great motivation to do it well). Biggest hurdle, of course, is finding the right people. But that's always a hurdle. I think Eva's got enough hype and solid past work to attract the right people to her project though.There might be a budget concern but I do agree it's getting to the point where Eva will need more people to do various other tasks.
Maybe he / she no longer has teeth, which is why this statement was easy.The problem isn't that it's almost october, 1 or 2 week more isn't a drama.

Yeah. Why you say this Evakiss when now is 9 months from my blonde queen to be fucked harder now alreadys? Very imature of you Evakiss to keeping me from my girlfriend this long. We do not care for qualitys when you promises and now my dating life is suck until you releases. Whereis my Cindys!?!The problem isn't that it's almost october, 1 or 2 week more isn't a drama.

I'm just empathizing.
That's not a problem here because so far she hasn't been the usual milker moving deadlines every month.The problem isn't that it's almost october, 1 or 2 week more isn't a drama.

I never said she's a milker, she's a great creator just i don't understand why u have to say things like this and put yourself on pressure. Nobody ask her to deliver before september end, if you want to deliver it but you aren't sure, then try without saying a word. I'ts just unnecessary.That's not a problem here because so far she hasn't been the usual milker moving deadlines every month.
She was trying to deliver the update in September because she knows she's late with this update.
Nothing wrong with that as long as it doesn't become a habit.
Radio silence would be worse imo.I never said she's a milker, she's a great creator just i don't understand why u have to say things like this and put yourself on pressure.

I don’t think she meant it literally? It’s just a saying, like “I’d feel so I bad if I couldn’t do it.” is it not? She did not say it would definitely be released in September. She only said she’d try her best to get it out, which it may or may not be completed by September.The problem isn't that it's almost october, 1 or 2 week more isn't a drama.

Majority of characters she adds for Lena that aren't already in the game will likely be at Billy's party, modeling shoot, or whatever he's pitching to get the girls naked and lubed. I'm sure there will be some stray characters here and there as well. Hard to say since the game's not halfway done, but likely most major love interests are already introduced.Thinking about making a fan mod for ORS to add 2 or 3 extra male love interests for Lena, with an update about a month after each of Eva's chapter release.
Would just be a hobby thing with a couple of hours each week put into it, in between working on my own game (LifePlay is a 3d sandbox so taking the occasional breaks to write a little story and make some 2d art would be a mind refresher in a way)
The art obviously won't be that consistent with original art though.
The thing is, I don't want to overlap with whatever character archetypes Eva is already planning in the base game, so does anyone know if she's still adding more characters or the current cast is final already?
Iirc, Eva mentioned that she's already introduced all the main characters (those who have routes), so the characters we have in the game now are likely all we're getting in terms of sex and relationship options.Thinking about making a fan mod for ORS to add 2 or 3 extra male love interests for Lena, with an update about a month after each of Eva's chapter release.

IIRC, the last male love interest that was introduced in GGGB was Ryan and he was introduced less than halfway through the story, right? So we should be at a similar stage for ORS?
I'm afraid there's no taking it easy anymore. Regardless of how long she takes, there will always be a huge web of routes and variables to untangle to plan the next chapter and avoid inconsistencies.I'm concern about Eva as well. For me, she is the better writer in this AVNs today and i'm really affraid she could get a writer's block or a burnout forcing herself like this. I prefer she takes easy even if will mean more time for next chapters
Testers are volunteers. We don't get paid extra for our effort.it would be quite hard for her to hire others besides her current team of artists, and testers
Are you volunteering to become my sugar-daddy and fund me so I could afford not to work?Dude, you should quit that daytime job and start devoting your whole life to making guides for porn games![]()
There's no way to know for sure. I bet not even Eva knows at this point. Sometimes she acts spontaneously. Inspiration might hit her to include another wholesome male character that Lena could date. So far the flaws of everyone except Ian outweigh their positive qualities. Jeremy and Mike wouldn't be so bad if they weren't already taken. Stan is out of Lena's league, and dating isn't a charity. Seymour and Axel are the antagonists that want to exploit Lena or make her submit. I personally wouldn't mind if Lena could date Perry or Wade (after he becomes single), but only if they were less toxic. Having one more single male character who is not an asshole/loser and could really compete with Ian would be good for Lena's side of the story, so I won't hold by breath. However, there is bloat to consider. I don't think there's enough time to introduce and flesh out another main cast member.The thing is, I don't want to overlap with whatever character archetypes Eva is already planning in the base game, so does anyone know if she's still adding more characters or the current cast is final already?
