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

[jimul18]

6-7 months, enjoy

I am pretty tired of this discussion, every time EK puts out an update the back and forth in this sub starts. With people acusing and other making excuses, people getting called haters and simps alike. I would love a more regular cycle as much as the next guy but similar to discussions I observed and participated in on the LoP thread it is moot.

But not unlike LoP where the question revolved around the business model (their old subscriber model vs Patreon or Steam) the much more interesting question is if a revised more frequent release schedule can be achieved through outsourcing elements of the development and in turn these cost can be recouped by significant growth in Patreon subscribers. I am not sure I think it would require much larger marketing as well as a release on Steam for ORS and GGGB (which requires changes). Then EK would need a large cushion to bridge the period until the growth is sustainable and she can return to a monthly schedule. One last point although it has been brought up here a lot. These changes would require her to drop this gardening aproach in writing (at least somewhat) and people have been argueing for and against that as much as about the release windows.

Even though let's be honest this isn't Thomas Pynchon but at the end of the day a "x-rated" VN with a die-hard community on a piracy forum that is heavily projecting into the characters. There I managed to call all of us (and that includes me) simps at the end...

I'm just sad how much this game has stalled. Not blaming Eva, she's obviously burned out, but this game has been in development for over two years now and it's just absolutely slowed to a crawl.

What does "gardening approach to writing" means? (EN is not my first language)

Also, I haven't play GGGB but why does things needs to be changed for that to be on steam?

GGGB has incest which means it cant be released on steam according to steam guidelines

Sisterly Lust is on steam as is shelter.

 

[dolfe67]

Yeah you can censor your game if you want it on steam

 

[Mesmerizet]

We need an update lmfao. Its been a while

Strange game, 6 months have passed, the author has not released a single new chapter. Well, reformatting chapter 9 doesn't count. If we see two chapters this year it will be a feat. Dude, this is not a War and Peace novel.

actually it kinda is. if you see this game as "fap material", you are wrong imo. it's more than that, much more.

There are two approaches to writing, being that of an architect or a gardener. An architect methodically plans out the entire story and then writes within that framework, while a gardener starts out with an idea and, more or less, comes up with the story as they go. I'm not quite sure what they meant by changes needing to be required, though.

I want to see an Allison vs Lena catfight over Ian. Let's implement those fighting controls over to Lena's side of the story!

Fr, it's taking too long though. Wonder where our catfight is, hopefully in chapter 10.

Anyone help I'm having a hard time doing a dp (dragon punch) motion as Lena and can't beat Allison once she does her super.

Alright main tricky thing about Alison is that she has really good overheads with her TittySmash attacks, so if she closes the gap she can mix you up pretty good since blocking high is just as important as blocking low. If you can't get the timing right on the wake-up dp, remember that Lena also has a charge special, her EX Poledancer Tornado should be able to knock Alison back and buy you some breathing room.

At medium range though Alison's pokes are pretty bad, in particular her lows are really stubby and have worse start-up when compared to Lena's, so feel free to bully her as much as you want at that range and don't let her get in without taking a lot of damage.

Also reminder that in normal situations Lena's zoning game is much better, Alison doesn't have projectiles and is a "big-sized" character so you can chip her away from a safe distance with Lena's Emo Singing, she will have a hard time dodging those to close the distance. The situation reverses once she gets her Pregnancy install though, since she gets access to her Milk Cannons projectiles and those will tear right through Lena's, so be ready to change up your game if that happens.

I'm writing a sci-fi novel, and you made me realize I'm a hybrid of both types, I already have the very general ideas of how the story would go, but most of the fine and minute detail come up as I write and in turn, it also helps me to plan further into the overarching story.

I watched an interesting video with Stephen King on how he writes. He will have a general idea on how the story will go, but then as he writes, he looks at a situation from the point of view of the character and t hen writes what they would do and he stated that he doesn't know how it will go (except the general direction obviously). I found it quite interesting, sort of like a hybrid of the two approaches you mentioned.

I have always been interested in writing, but I suck at coming up with a good story.
