Still trying out several path combinations, but I can say that if slutty Holly and Ian get together, there is a major fork coming for Holly.
While she certainly had fun becoming a wild girl (and likes her friends Lena/Ivy/Co.), she did so in the, partly mistaken depending how we play him, belief Ian prefers wild, slutty girls. That becomes blatantly clear by Holly´s actions and dialog in the Ian/Holly scene, her changes came to be due to the hope to have a chance with Ian one day.
Now that this has happened (by the way the hottest and partly cute scene in the update), there are several options I see how Holly develops further:
a) now being in a relationship with Ian, she stops getting sluttier and reserves her wild side for him. She got what she changed for.
b) like a, but with Ian lovingly encouraging Holly to develop her wild side a bit more to a common comfort level. Nothing big, e.g. her going topless on the beach, just a bit here and there, they are in a dedicated love relationship after all.
c) Ian and Holly recognise that they really like her slutty side and she is encouraged to develop it further a lot more.

As said I think this will depend on how we play Ian. For example, a shyer, reserved Ian will be more comfortable with a and b, while Chad Ian might prefer b or c.

By the way, Holly learned quite a bit writing fantasy books, teleporting out of her underwear! Who knows what else... ;) :cool::LOL:
d) Holly works in a glory hole a few days later.

I noticed that when Lena cheats on Ian with Mike, in her thoughts she mentions that she's developing feelings for Mike, even though she loves Ian. Afterwards she finds out that Ivy slept with Mike and she flips out. I wish this story line can be furthered in future updates as usually in cheating stories, it is simply for sex and nothing more. Even more interesting if she's cheating on Ian with both Mike and Axel.

Does the developer ever post here? I had a question regarding one of the game variables.

Should ian_lena_pure get set to True in the Ian/Lena/Holly throuple path if Ian and Lena have not cheated on each other at all up to that point? Or does the fact that remains False on that path indicate that Ian has doubts? Because in both Ian's and Lena's perspectives during and after the throuple scenes, they both seem very happy with the situation. But in the last Ian/Lena scene in this version, Lena still says that Ian is distant like some secret thing is bothering him. It seems like ian_lena_pure is the main variable at play here, and looking at where it gets set to True elsewhere in the script, I don't see any reason why it would still be False on this path...

If the explanation would spoil something in a future update, I can wait. I'm just an amateur coder who got curious.

ian_lena_pure is a flag for Ian/Lena being a fully faithful and dedicated couple, without Holly's participation. If you have the trinity active, then it sort-of implies the "pure" aspect because it cannot be formed without these conditions.

By not setting the flag on trinity route the dev can discern between these routes easier in the script.

But in the last Ian/Lena scene in this version, Lena still says that Ian is distant like some secret thing is bothering him.
This scene shouldn't trigger on trinity route, it's a bug. It's supposed to be scene for Ian/Lena as a couple, and there it covers all couple variants, but doesn't take into account the trinity aspect, because it doesn't "expect" that branch in there.

I see! Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Although, depending on other things that happen, I think it's still possible for them to get into a relationship later.
Yes. Lena and Ian can be FWB while Lena is having sex with Jeremy, and Lena/Ian can ultimately develop to the point where they decide to get together. But it should be noted that in this scenario Lena automatically decides she'll no longer have sex with Jeremy and they end up switching to friendship.

A dating sim (with or without porn) with a female protagonist and wholesome male romances is a very niche market. Most of the audience of these games is male and is not interested in that kind of content (playing a woman romancing handsome men). They want kinks and "corruption" with lots of sex if they're playing a female. Lesbian content interests some of them though, as romancing wholesome women is still pleasant even though the protagonist doesn't have a dick (and futa genre exists).

So that's why Lena's male LI are not handsome men outside Ian who is also a protagonist. And Ian's part is more conventional male MC's story with character improvement and wholesome female LI.

Yes that's double standard but it is what it is, men and women are different and have different interests.
As a gay man, I was partially interested in this game due to playing as Lena, and yeah... aside from Ian, she doesn't have that many physically attractive options. I think Axel and Jeremy are the only two others who arguably look better than Ian, but personality-wise, they're terrible. More or less

When I'm playing Ian's section, I'm interested in pairing him with Cherry, Lena, or Holly. But for Lena, I feel like Ian is my only choice, assuming I don't turn Ian into a douche. Because she deserves better

I actually like Mike as well. I mean, he's toxic, and their relationship is a red flag, but that aside, he's actually the one who treated Lena fairly.

What I like about this thread rather than the Patreon thread is there is open conversation that includes criticism of the work. I like EKs work, but I also value differing ideas and critique. Over there, any commentary that is negative about the content meets A LOT of rejection. Not by the mods but the users.

Most probably a common theme with most porn games, rather than being strictly an EK issue.

For what it's worth I'm also sceptical if EK is a woman, she writes scenes like a man would, draws them from a male gaze and in general this is a ridiculously male dominated field. But Eva, if you're reading this and are in fact a guy, please keep up the charade. I miss the old internet where I would spend years being an online friend with someone on a message board and only know their username and avatar. Then social media rolled into town and made everybody show their ugly faces and dysfunctional lives. It's never been the same since. Please f95zone users, never show your face to the world. Bonus points if you pretend to be a hot chick, let me dream.

For the last time, there's no woman here. Girl = Guy In Real Life.

What kind of woman would write characters like Stan and Seymour ? Of course Eva is a dude.

I am mostly a observer in this thread and don't wanna to butt in. But have you see some of this erotic literature written by and for women ? Some of th games on this site is child play next to them.

I don't know if Eva is or not a woman but whatever she is, she cleary knows what her public likes and expects and delivers it.
