there are a lot of games here being updated to try while waiting for another... if you only spend your days on this forum maybe you'll run out of new content fast. I usually spend more time here reading about fan theories or tips or discoveries about the games I follow rather than just expecting every one of those games to get an update every time I drop by. Also for those who do not have an appreciation for complexities of multi-branching stories and the ensuing challenges, it would help if you take more than a minute to find those out.

I've recently started supporting evakiss because of this title and also how she engages on her patreon. I do have to say in my opinion, among the few game threads with over a thousand pages on this forum, this vn's development seems to be quite balanced in terms of quantity and quality.

That's just my two cents worth. What ever your preferences, hope you all find something to enjoy on the forums. And hope you all stay healthy and active too, people in my neighbourhood still getting covid and for some 'long covid' complications seem to be causing a lot of issues. Peace:coffee:

Gotta love the ignore feature. He posts this bullshit and MY replies are deleted? Moderators are all braindead.
Feel for you. You need to learn how to post seemingly milquetoast comments that are dripping with irony and sarcasm that slip under the radar. Also, coming hard at multiple people with 4 consecutive posts didn't help, just sayin'.

9 sex scenes + 2 photoshoots. If we count everything together - 11. Ivy/Holly kiss doesn't count as a scene, it's just two
pictures.



Yes, apparently we will get the biggest episode of all. If we count from the release of the final version of the Remaster, and this was in late April, then 2.5 months have passed to work on the Ian path. If we are halfway there, then we need another 2 and a half months to work on the game and one to two weeks for beta testing. That is, it takes a little more time to develop than Episode 9.
So I don't see any slowdown. The problem is the growth in the amount of content, as in all similar games. And unlike GGGB, this game is better, more beautiful graphically, more difficult to script and much larger. I'm not surprised that the development is long. GGGB and ORS are like an indie game and a AAA project in comparison. EvaKiss alone is developing a top project.
Her only problem is that she listens too much to whining and disgruntled snowflakes from Patreon and Discord.
They don't like Ian's choice of clothes - Eva remodels.
They don't like Stan's representation - Eva rewrites him and changes his appearance.
They don't like some choices - Eva changes them.
This is called being led by disgruntled and screaming attention whores.
This is false. It has been 3 months at least since she started working on it.

Math doesn't lie. It's was 2.5 months. Final version of Remaster was 25 th April. The time between the alpha release and the final version remains on fixing bugs. She may have time to develop a new part only after the final version. The last status was July 8th. It's 2 months and two weeks

Don't think. Just consoome.
Only it's not thinking, it's whining. "Oh no, we haven't gotten new content in SEVERAL MONTHS, what a tragedy!" These guys apparently don't even check the Patreon posts that the episode is being worked on, or do you believe it's milking? Well that's bullshit, if you want to see some real scam-milking, check out Patreon of Mulan, who has been promising for almost two years that an update on Defenestration is about to come out, just a little longer.

You wrote that what used to be done in 2-3 months is done in 4-5 months. Well of course, what did you expect? First of all, after the remaster, a new bar is set in the quality of art, which takes more time to create. Secondly, the number of branches, which need to develop in one way or another in the next or through one episode has reached its peak for the two protagonists, which is written by one person, and given the scheme that in one episode the scenes will be with one half of the cast, and in the next one the other, it requires thinking outside the box, to keep the content fresh, interesting and consistent for both these "sides". So by itself the development time has increased.

This happens in every thread, there are always some entitled people ready to complain. My only surprise is how long it took to happen here.
I am sure if you look back on this thread there is another dry spell where people don't have new content to talk about, so they whine, spin conspiracies, and troll instead.

You try to defend it but you simply fail. I said it took the dev a whole month longer to do the exact same thing, according to dev herself, she did in 2 months before. The next Chapter will take 6 months minimum, most likely 7, to come out a whole year after Chapter 9. That's not "4-5" months. The last update, the Remaster, took 5 and a half months to complete and it's generally considered to be an unnecessary addition.

The thing is, It took Eva 2 Months to finish the entire Chapter 5. She said just Ian's part to write of Chapter 10, so half of it presumably, was as long as that whole Chapter 5 and it took her 3 months to finish it. The 2 "exact" lengths but one took a month longer to finish. I don't understand why this is so hard to get for you?

Nobody is denying the game has become more complex so it might take longer to finish an update, then again GGGB didn't have this issue, the thing is that the dev is showing active slow down of the development process.
In length, but not in quality. I don't know exactly how many scenes are in Chapter 5, but clearly less than the 12 that will be in Chapter 10. Next, a new style of art, which again is more labor intensive, perhaps there will be new branches that have long been promised (Ivy, Jess). Plus the events take place right after the turning point with Seymour, so Lena's POV is likely to be more suspenseful, which also needs to be properly written.

Are you serious? Have you ever played GGGB? Its development didn't slow down, because the further the game went, the less complex it became. Towards the end there are repetitive scenes in which only the characters change.

Don't know what this is supposed to mean? It became "more complex in quality"? The fuck is that?

I'm literally talking about the script and the length of it. Allegedly, half of Chapter 10 is as long as the entire Chapter 5 yet it took a month longer to finish it. Whatever your attempt at an excuse here is, it's not working. There is no excuse.

"Yadayada, keep trolling", yeah, go with that "argument". That's the only valid one you will be able to make. It's just trolling :D

That.

And she said the writing part of Ian's Chapter 10 is as long as the whole Chapter 5. We're talking about how many words, not how many branches she have to handle, how many arts are involved in that amount of script.

It's unfortunate how much time we have to wait between updates and Eva placed herself in a difficult spot, yes. Nobody argue that. But, as anything, we can (did we?) blame her lack of organization scaling up such a complex game. And if we're not happy about it we can stop supporting her on Patreon, nobody's putting a gun on our head forcing us to do that.

If this is a criticism, please call any bullshit you can find. And if anyone wants to stop supporting the game, let them do so. But what's the point of coming here every few weeks to write "oh shit, it's been so long since an update, put an abandoned tag?" It's not a complaint or a criticism, just crybabies whining.

Same length, but more complicated because of more "variables". What is difficult to understand here.

Unless you are ready for people calling you different things, you are not allowed to say anything negative about the ORS on this thread. It's easy to say that we don't like whiners but we accept constructive criticism or complaints. But the truth is that as soon as you say something, someone will jump out with one of the following:

1. Are you a patreon? Did you paid for this game? If not, shut up you pirate scum!
2. If you don't like it, make your own game if you know so much.
3. Look at this troll how he/she whines about stuff.

It happened now with blyzer and it happened before. I remember there was a guy or gal a while ago that expressed his/her opinion about the remake. Same story, even though some of the points were legit. The remake was strongly defended with things like: "it will take less to develop the next updates, you'll see", "it was needed in order to push the game to steam and get additional revenue from it", "if the developer thinks is not good enough, then it can change it". Ok, the last one is completely true, but I don't know what to say about the other two. From what I've read, the only opinion that blyzer wanted to express was: "It takes longer to develop the game now, compered to previous chapters." That is not whining. It's an opinion, and let's be honest, it's true. The development slowed down starting from May last year.
  • The art is better! Not by much. Isn't drawing something that you get better at the longer you practice and at the end of the day you end up finishing the art faster than before?

  • There are so many branches, it's hard to write the story down. Maybe it is, but shouldn't it be easier to write a new variations of the same scene compared to writing a new scene from scratch?
  • 12 scenes, the biggest update to date. Well, chapter 9 had 13 scenes so... But yeah, if you had to do all the art in the past 3 months, then it's not fair to compare the development time of chapter 5 with the development time of the Ian part, from chapter 10. There were only 6 scenes in chapter 5. That was such a sweet spot in terms of development/number of scenes.

I still don't understand why she didn't remove some characters in her remaster.
She could mix Emma and Allison, mix Jeremy and Mike.
She could remove Perry, Cherry and Robert without changing the story. Even Stan is not that important.
