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

Been saying it’s always gonna be Sep/Oct.

The odd thing is that Good Girl Gone Bad had reliably frequent updates. That's what makes the ORS update infrequency rather puzzling in spite of the posted reasons. She is a good writer with good graphics, but I do wish this game was updated a minimum of semi-monthly (every 2 months) approximately. If it might happen to be writer's block, I have a suggestion. Branch off the game into a flashback episode or two of the background of the 2 main characters. That might motivate you toward a clmination of ideas. Just a suggestion because it would be a version of thinking out loud except that it would keep game output going while figuring out how to proceed.

People don't want to acknowlede it but it is clear that the developer has "writing block". It has nothing to do with the complexity of the game or whatever, it's simply due to Eva not knowing what to do with the characters.

The worst decision Eva made was to make this remaster because I think we are going for a year without a new cap

Hello everyone! As you might've noticed, I've claimed ownership of this thread, as advised by my community (looking at you, Lara).

I'm not sure what will that serve for, other than giving me the ability to curate the presentation of this thread (the sample screenshots were pretty bland, and adding the trailer is a nice touch), since it's not my intention to engage into the discussion. This is your forum and has always been, and I don't want to disrupt things.

But since we've taken over the thread I wanted at least to give you guys a heads up and thank everyone who enjoys, comments and supports my work in one way or another. It made me really happy reading your comments when I finished GGGB, and it always boosts up my morale when a new good review is posted. I will continue to work to make ORS the best game I can manage to create and I hope you keep tagging along for the ride, and if you feel my work is good enough to support me on Patreon, well, that'd be awesome

Anyway, as a small gift to this community, here are the links for the Final release of Chapter 9.

PC

Mac

I've also added a new small scene concerning Emma, which can play in two ways depending on your choices thus far!

I hope you keep having fun with my game

Sorry, there is still time left for the year so I apologize because I think it was she who raised the ep

So all good

she wanted to put out a release in two parts,the part of ian and then of lena,jus to release something,but the fans on patreon wanted it in one piece,so, be patient until everything is finished.

Hey everyone,
this week I had to attend two weddings ans it was my birthday also, so I haven't been able to make as much progress as I wanted. However I made significant strides in some areas.
I've been finishing many illustrations that needed through editing after coloring. I have 80+ illustrations with it's variations finished, and the final count will be around 120 I think. On that regard, I've been searching and trying out a few illustrators and I think I've finally found one that I can work with. Let's see how that works out, but least I can do is throw some more money at the project if that means I get to deliver the content to you faster.
There was this big scene that had been giving me trouble for a few weeks now, and I finally managed to finish it. I really got stuck with this one and I think it's been the hardest one to write thus far, for several reasons, one of them being it's mechanical complexity. I keep making life difficult for myself, but hopefully you'll enjoy it when you finally get to play it. I've also been having trouble structuring the scenes in Lena's part, and I've been going over and rearranging them for weeks now. These two issues had me feeling quite blocked, so I used the time to work on artwork while I tried to untangle things in my mind. Now that scene is finished and I've started writing Lena's part, so it seems I can continue making progress.
Also, my programmer has been working on a few cosmetic additions and tweaks and he's trying a new mechanic for the pool minigames. These are cool additions that are important to me but I'm outsourcing completely, since I don't have the time for them myself.
Also! I have one Cameo spot OPEN, so if you want to make an appeareance in ORS, send me a message through Discord!

She's sounding more and more like Crushstation every day. Won't be long until she starts deleting chapters to start over because she isn't feeling the artwork. I can't honestly believe that anyone here gives a flying fuck about the animations for a pool mini game. Read the room Eva.

 

[360 Danny DeVitos Later]

Oh no, a developer has a life and doesn't want to work 24/7. This is disaster.

Thing is we're nearing how long since last update? At this point the dev is either milking or the development is now simply too much for them to handle to finish the game in a remotely reasonable time frame. Personally I think it's the latter.


Neither is exactly a good point to reach though and people are going to react to it. Especially with how porn games never get finished or development slows to a crawl because the dev had x happen 4 years previously.

Ignore the Eva white knights. He is acting as if the dev didn't spend 2 weeks on a vaccation just a month ago

Read my second post below, I wrote about the alleged reasons for the delay.

Lol, she’s a game developer, not a slave. Of course she takes a vacation every once in a while.

Also, I assume you’re referring to the post where Eva said she was visiting a book fair and taking “a few days off” (while using that time to work on the structure of the story!), but it doesn’t strengthen your argument that you just make up a fake “2 weeks” duration of it.

It doesn’t strengthen your argument either that you have to make up some extremely hypothetical “deleting chapters to start over” future scenario to discredit Eva’s work. Also, “animations” for the pool mini games? Where did you take that from? It literally says “a new mechanic”, while also stating that it’s something the programmer is working on. Person A, Eva, writes the episode and works on the art. At the same time person B, the programmer, works on a new mechanic for the pool mini game. That doesn’t affect the speed of the development. I didn’t think that would be rocket science to figure out, but well, here we are

Been saying it’s always gonna be Sep/Oct.

It was never going to be either. It's December for sure, just before the holydays and then a whole month of doing nothing

She literally says she took "a week off" in

, so the only person lying here is you with that "few days" bullshit. I also said 2 weeks because that's how long she hasn't posted any status updates before dropping the news of her being at a book fair (

posted on July 8th and the next one was posted on July 22nd).

"She's a game developer, not a slave" yeah I know, slaves don't get paid but she sure does rack in some good money

 

[Mr_Ainz]

Since February-March I've started coming into this thread every two months, I'm not a patreon nor am I in position to pay if i wanted, but I wait for the update no rush. Here I am enjoying this game for free and moving on. Congrats to eva on making such a good game.

 

[RoboticCatDogHybrid]

Hopefully she comes up with a more reasonable work schedule instead of a erratic one my bros. Aside from her writers block and constant vacations/weddings, if she has a pattern and a deadline she puts on herself, that can probably alleviate these problems. Here's to hoping she sticks to a schedule my bros. And at least we got AOA academys new chapter coming out soon!!

 

[okal]

They may care about the game but her income is not of anyone's concerns. Or would you say more income = faster release?

…yes. Money facilitates improving the rate of progress in a project. This is why startups keep trying to secure more and more funding. It eases the process of getting a product/service out to market. Investors, who get their money back by the company finishing and selling a product, wouldn’t give them their money if that weren’t the case.

 

[okal]

I want to be different.

The chances Lena sleeps with a homeless dude.?

Guaranteed UTI

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

I bet the homeless guy will be the hidden key to destroy the stalker Seymour.
