VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.3.6] [Eva Kiss]

[Eleanorduval]

Holly will basically stick to the decision she's made at this point:

            "Leave them to it":
                if holly_guy != 2:
                    $ holly_guy = 1
                if holly_change < 5:
                    $ holly_change += 1
                if holly_guy and lena_holly_sex == False:
                    "I decided it was best if I left them to it. Holly surely could handle herself, and I didn't want to interrupt."
                else:
                    "I decided it was best if I left them to it. I trusted Holly to handle herself; she was an adult after all."
                    if lena_holly_sex:
                        "Besides, I didn't want to act like a jealous and over-protective friend..."

If she decided she'd hook up with Mark then she will, if she and Lena had sex (meaning the holly_guy is at most at 1) then she'll be hesitant, and Lena gets option to influence the decision later:

        elif holly_guy == 1:
//...
            menu:
                "{image=icon_lust.webp}+{image=icon_charisma.webp}Push Holly" if lena_lust > 6 and lena_charisma > 6 or v8_holly_sex == "lenaivy":
                    $ holly_guy = 2
//...
                "{image=icon_charisma.webp}Let Holly decide" if lena_charisma > 5:
//...
                    if holly_change == 5:
                        $ holly_guy = 2
//...
                        jump v10hollylikesmark
                    else:
                        h "I... I don't know. If I got to know him better, maybe..."
//...
                        v "Jeez... Alright, but don't come asking for my help when months go by and you still haven't found a guy to get laid with."
                        jump v10ivyhollyleaves
//...
                "Protect Holly":
                    $ holly_guy = 0
//...
                    jump v10hollyrejectmark

I guess i should include this bit in the initial list. The choice here is to Let Holly decide if you want her to leave for the evening but not block things entirely. If her change is low then she won't opt to hook up on her own.

is this the UMR mode?

 

[Hungover00]

it is there a scene with ivy doing model things?

PAFO

 

[Eleanorduval]

I don't think so outside of StalkFap and whatever the ORS Instagram is called.

propably eva will add scene for ivy and wildcats later

 

[Eleanorduval]

PAFO

I man i m playing ! isn t a question,just an observation as he said they are rivals

 

[ffive]

No. The game script is stored in files which can be viewed in text editor, after they're unpacked from archive which contains them.

I doubt that. Ivy isn't the type a serious modelling agency would hire. We might get that content with Billy though, since he's starting a new thing.

She could of course get scenes modelling independently like Lena does. But we'll probably only see that if Lena or Ian helps her or she shares it.

i didn t understand last part lol a 3some lena/ian/ivy can be hot

It literally had a question mark! It's just you could play a lot more of the game if you weren't stopping here to read and write. It's just poor time management

But you do you

 

[BlandChili]

Sure, but I wasn't implying anything sexual. Since the first sentence in my second paragraph talks about Ivy modelling independently that would be what Lena or Ian would be helping her with and not having sex.

i need a break of the games times for times. Your avatar are a polar bear,i think i will choose a pinguin as profil picture.

had someone won the tournaments? dev said there issue with open relation at chapter

okay i get it now. Speaking of photoshoot i think ian will continue helping cindy and keep aways axel as possible. Of course depending of your choice.

A hungover polar bear, with a mostly finished bottle of liquor. So you'd need a drunk penguin, or maybe a coked or meth'd up one.

And that's fair. Just remember, we know why you need a break, so handholding ain't likely to happen. /s

 

[Hungover00]

Ian isn't a professional photographer though, so he can't box (keep away) Axel out easily.

Though it's likely they will have to actually fight at some point, since it's been teased so much. The story/character/emotional beats are going to be all over the place, depending on the route.

like i said before irl relation are complicated,i think eva wanted the game to be close to the reality.

By way i played the game a years ago,i think just i didn t play the 1-2 last update.

yeah probably they will fight axel are violant

Not sure, but you might try the following:

* have Holly join Ivy's gym classes
* overall make sure Holly's change variable is kept low (no more than 3, preferably less)
* in Ch.7 Encourage Holly when Ivy brings up Mark
* when Holly is talking with Mark at Ivy's birthday party, interrupt them. With low change variable this should lower holly_guy variable to 0.5 and then automatically to 1, which is not enough for Holly to leave the party with Mark, but enough to keep this pairing open.
* with Holly out of the picture have Lena suck off Mark in the club toilet in Ch.10
* Mark will text Lena in Ch.11, accept his invitation to activate lena_mark_dating
* later in Ch.11 Holly and Lena will talk about Mark/Holly during Holly's phone call. Pick the option "You should do it", to set holly_guy to 2 which should be enough for sex to happen.

You are right. I don't usually play slutty Lena and Holly and the few times I did I went all in with Holly so I didn't know about that.

If you started a relationship with Holly you can't. I assume the same is the case for trinity.

Regarding this, about a week ago I encountered something that I'm not sure if it's a bug or it's intended but I just forgot to put it here till now:

if holly_trinity == 2 or lena_holly_dating or (ian_lena_pure and ian_lena_3some == False) or (ian_lena_couple and ian_lena_open != "lena" and ian_lena_open != "ian"):
    jump v13emmadateend

So that confirms what you said that if relationship Lena/Holly or trinity, sex with Emma doesn't happen. Also if Lena and Ian are in a serious relationship and didn't already have a threesome with Louise, sex doesn't happen either, which makes sense. The part that I'm not sure if it's a bug is that if you have an open relationship since the beginning (ian_lena_open = True), sex doesn't happen. You need to have the relationship opened during the beach trip crisis.

Isn't that because the first version of their "opened" relationship is just them agreeing to try out sex with others together? To actually "open" it you need to cheat and agree to it. Like you said without the Louise threesome, Ian and Lena have yet to actually experiment together yet, so their relationship has to get to that point regardless of them agreeing to it being open or not.

i do read the walkthrough or play without?

The open relationship may need a bug patch just for itself, it feels like.

Yeah, I mentally divide them into '3some open' and 'true open.' Because they are not treated the same. Kinda felt like EK had an idea, but got distracted, and then the plot pushed past what the original plan was.
