VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.14.1.4 Beta] [Eva Kiss]

[ffive]

Everytime this game updates I can't load my old saves, this is depressing.

Unless your save is from rework that took place like, couple years go, you should be good. As long as you didn't save literally on the "end of content for now" screen.

Eva should've never made both Ian and Lena playable at the same time and instead make you choose and make the other one an NPC who's decisions are influenced by the main character, similar how Jessica works in the game but more of it. Basically 1 main character and 1 main NPC.

She would still deliver on the original promise of "red string" characters tied together by fate, but it would make the game much more manageable. Two main characters creates so many moving elements in the story that it's honestly impressive how she still delivers updates instead of ending up in a mental asylum.

Afraid such approach wouldn't help in terms of complexity -- there would still need to be full choice path for each of two selectable protagonists, and if anything, it'd require extra code for the "NPC" version of each MC, to react to choices made by the player with the other MC.

So what character so far have the option to pursue a relationship with? As in there's a text option with the interlocking rings icon. Is it only Lena and Cindy?

Someone already mentioned Holly. I think Ian has one with Alison as well, at least if he doesn't suggest the threesome, though I am unsure if it's unavailable when he's seeing other girls too.

For what's worth, the "double rings" icon so far has been used for Ian/Lena relationship option, Ian/Cindy and, interestingly enough, for Ian/Holly in Ch.12 if Ian is fully accepting when Holly tells him news about having hots for Lena:

            h "I'm the worst..."
            menu v12lenagohollymenu:
                "{image=icon_ring.webp}I want to be with you, Holly" if ian_holly_love:
                    $ holly_trinity = 2
                    i "Stop beating yourself up like that, Holly. I'm not mad..."
                    i "I want to be with you... That hasn't changed."

Not sure how this option differs from heart-marked options. Perhaps it's more "official" kind of relationship declaration?

Now that I think about it I don't think I have ever saved on the "end of content" page with any game. I always make sure to rollback to the last cliffhanger scene before saving, so I can remember where the previous update cut off just by glancing at the thumbnail.

Anyways, I am glad I saw this post. I never realized that it was so easy to ruin a save.

Even though Lana Rhoades is clearly a major inspiration to draw Lena, especially her porn videos, I suspect that one (called Sybil) is also a major inspiration for Lena's face expressions

I think it is multiple of similar looking ones. Could be Vanna Bardot too.

When i choice take a picture i got this? How to fix it?

Are you continuing the game from older save? There were some changes in the game script over the months, some involved how certain pictures are stored. It's possible that's what tripping you up. Might be worth to try and start a new game, so all variables are up to date.

Is Emma's face supposed to be inspired by Abella Danger?

 

[Andrea9999]

She has clearly "Jumped the Sharknado".

Sharknado is THE cult classic. It is the only thing that truly belongs in a time capsule. The movie for the ages.

This whole game is boring as fuck with an exception of Cindy storyline. I skipped the last few updates since she wasn't included was there anything interesting there?

She featured a little in this update and you have scene with her but other than that, she is not one of the main focuses of this update. I'm sorry but I don't understand how anyone could refer to this game as "boring". You probably haven't tried the LSD arc yet

There's no need to force yourself. Just move on and play other games you don't find 90% boring.

Cheating bitch Holly path might come soon. I'd say keep your eyes peeled and your dick erect if such development occurs.

Just played Emma route, was surprised to see Ian more comfortable with her. With Alison he felt weird at first. I think Emma will be okay with Ian fucking Minerva, in my path.

This but Alison instead of Cindy.

found this online

• On the Road by Jack Kerouac: Three weeks.
• The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne: Two and a half days.
• The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoyevsky: 26 days.
• I, the Jury by Mickey Spillane: Nine days.

I'm guessing all those people, spent all that time doing nothing but writing those books. Forget about eating, sleeping, having any leisure time, the things that normal people do. No, they just wrote and wrote and wrote, until they collapsed from exhaustion. And then a few hours later they started writing again, until they collapsed again from exhaustion. I think Eva is likely a normal person, who needs to do normal things, besides just working obsessively on a project till it's completed. Thus she can't churn out this game, as fast as those prodigies, with their obscenely abnormal workrates.

As Ian, can you be with Holy and have Holy sleep around? with or without consent from Ian?

The only the way that can happen, is if Ian rejects her.

So does that mean it's less to do with the game being boring in general, and more to do with it being boring, because Cindy isn't in it?

Since bad/wild Holly, isn't actually in a relationship, how could she cheat?

I mean to be fair to him,i doubt everyone here loves all the plotlines this game has.
We all like our favourite characters,everyone has bias.
