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

[TamaMountain]

I agree with your logic regarding limited resources as a general point, but if the trip back to her parents is included in the next chapter, there would have to be at least one background for that part of the story, wouldn't it? It would be a very odd choice to use Lena's mother's sickness as a cliffhanger if the trip to visit her isn't actually a playable part of the next chapter.

I'm still a bit unsure what that trip would bring to the story, though, so I wouldn't mind if it turned out to be Alison's (or Cindy's) room.

Yea sure. But it seems the discussion here presupposes that Lena will be returning to her parents' house. Was it ever confirmed by Eva or was it just teased at the end of ch 8?

I'm just saying what if Lena doesn't even return home? Maybe it's just a cliffhanger? Take the end of ch 7 for example. Ian gets caught fking Cindy. Then ch 8 begins but we dont see the immediate aftermath of his getting caught by Jeremy and Ivy.

If Perry goes to the party, it's Jeremy and Perry who catch Ian.

I think Lena going home within the events of the game is a given. It would abnormal to have Lena choose not to visit her mum, or make no mention of it since it's the elephant in the room of her storyline right now. I can't see how that could be avoided/skipped over without feeling like anything but bad writing.

In terms of Ian x Cindy in the aftermath of the whole sex thing, for the sake of suspense and drama it served the story better that chapter 8 didn't take off immediately after the events in the alley. Besides which, chapter 8 picks up the slack filling in the blank by having Ian think of it several times, Cindy going away, and Ian's schedule not lining up with Jeremy's (or them both avoiding each other) - drawing out all the juicy stuff and implications for maximum effect, so the payoff is far better when it comes.

My guess is that chapter 9 will open with Lena's visit to her mum - I can't imagine it making sense any other way.

You know what i wouldn't mind? A "Cucking Perry" route.

Now THAT'D be a breath of fresh air, you doing the cucking and having Perry be some sort of pervy voyeur.

I don’t think Eva has confirmed it, no.

It's true that the immediate aftermath of a cliffhanger like the one in ch. 7 isn't always shown, but I don't think that's completely comparable to the end of ch. 8. In ch. 7 the main event – Ian and Cindy in the back alley – had already played out. The consequences from it, and from Jeremy and Ivy catching them, are bound to be shown at some point, independent of how that tense meeting between the four of them played out.

In the cliffhanger of ch. 8, the only thing that's happened is the phone call where Lena's dad tells her she needs to come home. The fact that Lena's mother's health problems are introduced into the story, needs to have some kind of consequences for the story as a whole. It could of course affect the story without Lena going home – it could affect her financial problems, for example, thus making her more reliant on the persons she can make money from. But if I remember correctly, Lena's dad said "We need you to come home". I don't think Eva would have written the dialogue like that if if wasn't to indicate that she'll actually do so in the coming chapter.

cenes look out of place from time to time. This was my impression with the shopping scene in Chapter 8, where I could only show the main street background as the girls bounced from store to store. I felt having a shopping mall background adds to the experience and opens up new possibilities, since it's a place that the player will be visiting several times during the game, so I thought it was worth it to invest in getting it done.

Again we have a game of "Whose room is this?"

I'm guessing from the poster it has to be Minerva. Has 40 year old energy

I don't see that. I'm 47 and that Doesn't look like a BR from my time. Don't forget she is married.

 

[HeroHate]

Must be killing people not getting their fix? Was one of the better adult games out there, might check it out when it gets it's next update, but that'll be a huge gap between plays. Is the storying going to continue in the same fashion, or could be in line for a revamp, we're often at the mercy of the writers swinging sensibilities and the sheer support this game has could breed indifference? I doubt that's the case however.

Are you serious?

 

[godoff95]

Expect Perry to go "Ian screwed Cindy" "Ian screwed Cindy" next time they hangout with Wade.

 

[Reasoon]

Wait, this is not true?! I've never seen this Scenario because Perry always goes to Wade's Birthday Party but always has to leave the Club earlier? In every Scenario I've played it was always Jeremy and Ivy who caught IanxCindy.

Can somebody confirm this if it's true?

Yea I'm confused as well. IIRC Perry always caused a ruckus with the bouncer which drags Ian out of the dance with Cindy.

I don't think this is true. Otherwise Perry surely would've told Wade in chapter 8, and that reveal hasn't happened yet. I've played through quite a few combinations and never seen Perry catch Ian. Is it even possible for Perry to skip Wade's birthday?

The only scenario in which Perry doesn't go to the club is when Ian goes to the book fair instead. And he's grateful to Ian for not having to go to the horrible club... Otherwise, Ian makes him go because he doesn't want to be a third wheel with Wade and Cindy (Emma and Alison leave after Fortress). And no, Perry never catches Ian. He's waiting for the gang near the bouncer because he got kicked out: Wade and Ian go after Cindy to tell her the party is over (Wade wants to wrap it up), but then this whole Axel thing starts and Perry is quickly forgotten about. I'm sure if you go after Cindy, then Wade and Perry leave together (it's never mentioned because Ian doesn't think about Perry while talking to Cindy, lol). And then Jeremy with Ivy always catch Ian in the act.

Hey, have a few questions about the game... would be grateful if anyone can answer

1. Is the name of the male protagonist changeable?
2. Who is the main protagonist? Who has the most scenes? (male or female)
3. Is there pregnancy in the game?
4. Can the male protagonist have multiple relationships while the female protagonist stays loyal to him? Or is it something like if the male protagonist cheats the female protagonist gonna do that too without giving any choices?

Would be grateful if anyone can tell...

 

[doctor13]

Does my head in when people just claim that you can do this or that. It's like when I had people telling me it was easy to get Holly's new gym outfit and glasses and then it later being confirmed by more reputable sources that it was not possible in this (v8) update.

1. No
2. There are 2 MC, one is male (the guy from the first picture found in the game description), the other one is female (the girl with black/dark blue hair). You spend an equal amount of time with them.
3. No, or not yet. Maybe in the future, though that will probably happen in the final chapter of the game.
4. Yes. You can pursue multiple female characters in the game, while the female MC will be loyal to you. However, even though you control Lena, she is not a puppet. She is a well written character that might not appreciate if you try to sleep with her friends.

2. There are 2 MC, one is male(but he likes men more ),(the guy from the first picture found in the game description- and it is pantywaist ), the other one is female(who likes to fuck a lot of men), (the girl with black/dark blue hair). You spend an equal amount of time with them.

[Zedire]

I WISH Ian liked men (too). That would only add to this game's variety, IMO. Man love is nice

But Ian (the male MC) only goes for women, so far as we know. Lena (female MC) goes for men and women - depending on your choice.
