VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.3.4] [Eva Kiss]

[BloodyMares]

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

Not necessarily. I got my couple of obsessive followers when I became "official". A couple of them facepalm-bombed my posts regardless of the content, had to block them so it doesn't waste my notifications. One actually managed to stalk me on social media and ask if I knew Eva personally (spoiler - I don't care who Eva Kiss is IRL)... Even though it wasn't a hater, it really weirded me out as it was the first time I had to deal with this kind of "fame". Hopefully the last, too.

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.

Speaking of Seymour and taking sides in a conflict, I wonder how big a part that homeless guy that Seymour recognized as someone who used to be important (and may well have ended up on the streets at Seymour's hands - maybe a competitor or a someone who tried to expose him?) will play in his route, or even the game overall. Possibly as someone who can help Lena against Seymour if she Lena nice to him at the start or going forward.
I'm not sure if anyone had talked about that guy in this thread? but if they have I haven't seen.

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.

Hopefully. I've abandoned a reddit alt once because I expressed my opinion in a thread meant for female responders and apparently that's taken as a "come and get me" by various lonely folks. Since then I never reply to posts that ask "women of Reddit....."

Given that the dude only pops up those two times I assume he won't play a role at all. Does Lena even encounter him if she doesn't go to meet Seymour? (Been a while since I denied working with him).

Victor? Who was that? Is it the grandpa' "Popeye" clone ex-boyfriend of Alison?

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

Use the Fuzzy select tool in gimp or the Magic Wand in PS. They can pretty much select any same color selection. Since Evas drawings have dark border lines, it makes the job fairly easy. If you haven't used them before, it might take some tries to find the right strength settings etc. But shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

I can't recall the circumstances around the first meeting (since it's been a while since I played this game), only that Lena can be considerate towards him or tell him off at that first meeting. Then she meets him again when she's with Seymour and we find out he was someone important - he has a name I just can't recall it. However, because he's been given a name and some background and so importance (he's not just 'some bum'), the Chekhov's Gun rule in writing applies: "never put a loaded rifle on the stage if it isn't going to go off". In this case that means, never give a character some name and implied importance if they're not going to have a role to play in the story.

Victor? Who was that? Is it the grandpa' "Popeye" clone ex-boyfriend of Alison?

No, that was Milo. Victor was that writer you meet when you go to Holly's book convention thingy. The one who offers Ian a chance to write for his publication afterwards.

 

[BlandChili]

Nah, that's Milo. Maybe I am misremembering the name, but I remember Victor White as the author dude with the beard that Ian can meet if he goes to the bookfair with Holly. Victor can also call Ian if he doesn't go to the bookfair but did the review swap with Holly.

 

[gazlene]

do we know who eva based Holly on? I know she uses various ones for different scenes, but the characters are based on specific ones and after searching different terms I've seen IDs for Allison, Cindy, Emma, and Lena, but I can't find Holly, just afew other times it's been asked , but never see answers.

Almost six months without Cindy content

Bro if you're switching mc's at least do it without skipping. It would be nice if Ian's part was not skipped in the "first kiss" event with Lena.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

We saw the scene through Lena's eyes, but not through Ian's eyes. We can't see what Ian is doing Monday to Wednesday(till date).

The game makes small skips here and there and doesn't always show both perspectives. I suspect the reason why the first kiss is not one is because it is an optional scene.

For example both their first meeting in the cafe and later at the museum doesn't depend on a player choice but Lena and Ian's date does.

Yeah makes sense. It can be difficult for DEV to do this for every scene. I started the game today, it's an extremely exciting game. It feels more exciting to play from Ian's point of view but Lena's is also very good. I don't usually like to play Female MC, but Lena is extremely enjoyable. Dev made a really good game.

It's not even so much the sex of the MC but the stories behind. It's so rare finding one with a female MC that isn't about the usual corruption, dom, sharing and all that sillyness that I can't even remember one. The ones that aren't about those things or with faithful routes tend to be so empty that they aren't even worth trying. For instance, would you have any objection of games like Leap of Faith, Summers Gone, intertwined, sunshine love and and the rest of the big hits having a female MC? I wouldn't in any way.

Yes, that's exactly why I don't like to play Female MC.

Yeah, especially Summer's Gone could have been great.

It's just strange that there isn't a big hit with a female MC. Even in an extraordinary one like ORS, the girl got the bad hand and I had to pair the two of them. I think it might have been cool if they didnt met at the start but later on. It would have brought some suspense to it and people wondering if they would meet, how and when.

 

[mannice431]

Does anyone know why all of the characters are smooth af down there? I thought this was a stylized choice (i still think it is) but i've noticed Minerva does have some hair down there.

What gives? Why is she the exception?

I don't think Victor will have a huge role. By the time of the last Q&A, Eva answered a question about the major characters. She said that, at the time, all relevant characters for the story had already been introduced. The likes of Victor, Agnes and Billy were all introduced after she said that.
