VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.2 Full] [Eva Kiss]

[dundun]

If I'm not mistaken, Ian has a beard variable, which would also be always visible. So, if a beard isn't really an issue, I don't think skin colour would be (but I don't remember seeing a skin variable, though).

1. A beard could still be done with an overlay, something like a moustache would be easy. A full beard would probably have to be created for every picture
2. it's not always visible
3. a variable doesn't guarantee it will happen

But ok, I don't know anything about editing. But take this example. How would you create an overlay that darkens Lena's skin but not Holly's.

Nothing angers me more that this king of futile posts...
Oh well fuck you (me) too then ! :-D

Would you not just separate all the Lena bits, make it a bit darker, and save onto a transparent background PNG?

It can be done fairly quick with the selection tool and a tweak with the brightness/contrast slider. But it would certainly add a couple of minutes of workload to each image. Now I did tweak this image really fast, as a result it does not look (Yes I know I'm almost color blind). You would also have to fine tune the highlights adding more work for EvaKiss, so I'd say it wouldn't be worth it.

Could the beard variable for Ian be tied to the rumored timeskip? Ian's not gonna suddenly wake up and have a beard, it'd make perfect sense for it to take place after a timeskip.

Actually he is going to get a magical ointment from Emma. Remember how she was able to procure a drug that lets us talk to Eva Kiss? Im sure a beard growing ointment is nothing after that.

It looks effing awsome! I was hoping someone with actual knowledge would come up and add to this discussion. Apparently I was seriously underestimating the power of selection tools. I have no idea how you can easily separate the fingers.
So it would be a lot less work than I thought, but I stand by my original point, that it is still a lot more work than a tattoo overlay.

But when would the player choose to grow the beard?

It looks really good. I think Alison in particular would look really hot with some tanlines. But one can only hope.

Around the same time we get to decide to grow bigger boobs for Lena!

Tattoos are just black and piercings very small, but changing a whole body means you have to redo the whole postprocessing (lightning, colorgrading, ..). Back in GGGB EvaKiss first did Lena's new boobs as an overlay. But later she just made new images so I think it is just easier that way.

I hope she doesn't do this this time. Lena already has a very welldeveloped chest and I always thought Ashley looked ridicilous with it.

Woah, chapter 9's title screams corruption from a thousand miles away
I like it Eva, let's go

Hello folks. Is there an android version for 0.8 anywhere?

Not an official one, you might find a fan-made one if you search for "android" in the search bar.

I don't oppose it being an option, but I wouldn't use it either.

Agreed. It wouldn't add much but development time. But if they were also engorged with milk due to Lena's new breeding/lactation fetish in chapter 12...

(EDIT: Not gonna lie, considering how good he's meant to be in bed, and that he's comfortably charismatic and intelligent, while still being the easy-going boy-next-door type, I'd probably fancy an Ian too, if I knew him. )

Ian is really an everyman, just like Peter Parker. He can both feel like a loser when the world shits all over him, and he can have his moments of triumph if he puts in more effort in pursuing what he wants to the point of seeming like some kind of superman who has a lot of success with girls (another parallel with Spider-Man). Some are attracted to his "true" personality, whenever he's passionate about the thing he does (Lena, Holly, Cindy), some are attracted to the chad-like image that he tries to present to girls (Emma, Cherry, Ivy, Jessica). Some just simply idolize him (Alison). At first glance, it can seem like he's written like a Gary Stu who has it easy with all the hot girls in his life, but actually, with a lot of hot girls comes great responsibility, and even Ian has to make a lot of sacrifices if he's interested in more than one girl.

I agree. This is one of those games where sure, the scenes by themselves are nice to look at, but without the context they're not that special. For instance, the Cindy scene. Does everyone find that scene so hot only because of the art itself? I would wager not. It's the fact we know about Cindy's situation, we know her as a person, and we know how it got to that point of sex. Same can be said for all the other scenes in the game. Though, I would imagine many people don't find Robert's scenes hot with or without context

If I had to rate the game's sex scenes out of context, I'd say that Alison and Lena x Mike get the hottest sex scenes consistently. But yeah, writing-wise, Cindy takes the cake when it comes to sexual tension.

Edit: What's up with Rickster82 facepalming all my recent comments?

You got fairly popular. Haters just come with it. It's always kinda weird initially but you get used to it.

Ridiculousness and humiliation are meant to be there when it comes to the bimbo fetish.
In real life, it's rare that I like it when a woman resorts to plastic surgery. Sometimes women don't get that they are wonderful just as Mother Nature made them

So if we go by Alpha releases we are 119 days from the last release as of today. The previous longest wait was Chapter 5 to 6 which was 98 days so we are already 21 days over that time.

Also interesting to note is the last time Lena and Axel were in the same room was for the photoshoot in Chapter 6 which was initially released on 2nd December 2020 which means it has been 290 days since there has been a scene with them together.

No actual point being made just bored and desperate for the new update soon!

Speaking of the beard thing, I think it would be cool if it's handled by having a scene where Ian is in the bathroom and about to shave as he does every morning, then wonders if he should let it grow for a change (perhaps as part of him considering how a change in his image might effect his career or better suit the path he's taking). If the player indicates that Ian does want that, then it gives 3 options as to what he's aiming for - stubble, mustache, or beard. Something like that. Then if the player chooses to have him grow a mustache or a beard, it could show it slowly growing on his sprite over the course of a few chapters. That would be pretty cool. It would be pretty unsatisfying if the facial hair is automatically applied when we choose what we want for Ian.

Additionally it would be cool if it made mention of the stubble/mustache/beard in some scenes with other characters too - like how some female partner feels when Ian eats her out while he has a beard, or him saying he can taste her in his mustache, or even just simple comments on how they think he looks with said facial hair, or the fact that he's growing it. Little attentions to detail like this really add to the game, imo.

I suppose. Usually reactions are just more direct in my experience.

Well, one could conclude that Axel has the bluest of balls in the ORSverse!

I've been wondering if Ian might be inspired by Victor or Seymour, in case the two of them will be present on opposing sides in whatever ultimate conflict might occur.

"Dude's got that authoritative beard going, I better get in that game" thinks Ian to himself.
