In ORS in particular, given Lena's past relationship with Axel (Where she obviously loved the dom-sub / power exchange dynamic), it would have been easy to write her exploring such a relationship with "Nice" Ian, simply by opening up about her interests and then the couple trying things out.
This already happens in game to some extent -- Lena can e.g. ask Ian to choke her during sex, and if Ian complies this gives him a dom point and enables him to perform these actions "automatically" in subsequent scenes. Having dom point(s) also enables further actions and allows Ian to move further down this path.

I imagine that Lena and Ian can have some discussion regarding that, at some later point.

Chapter 14.1 Status Report (1)

Hi everyone! Sorry for the reduced frequency of status updates, but as I mentioned before, this week and next I’m in the middle of moving to another country. The relocation, paperwork, and getting settled are taking up quite a bit of my mental (and physical) energy.
That said, and now that Chapter 13 is wrapped up, I’m continuing work on the next chapter.

Aside from the challenges of moving, this part of the story has proven to be a bit tricky for several reasons, the main one being the need to carefully determine and structure the key events, scenes, and narrative developments that will take place.
As you already know, this chapter will focus on Lena and the Billy event.

The tricky part, beyond the complexity of all the possible narrative states (player choices, character relationships, etc.), is deciding which scenes to include, how to present them, and in what order.

There’s a lot of potential here and many ideas floating around, but I have to be very selective about what makes it in and what doesn’t, or the development could drag on forever.

Condensing has never been my strongest skill, and I know there are high expectations for this chapter, so I really want to make it count.
My goal is to include the most meaningful and satisfying scenes I can, while using them to push forward the core narrative threads we’ve been building throughout the story.

While I keep wrestling with the script and story structure, I’ve been making progress on the visual side of things, selecting and commissioning several illustrations that I’m pretty confident will make it into this chapter.

Settling on which pictures to use and what new ones to create is also taking up quite a bit of mental space, since each illustration requires a significant investment of time and resources.

Aside from my colorist, I now have an artist helping out with simpler drawings. She handles the body sketches, while I, as always, take care of the character faces.

Get ready for some seriously spicy photo shoots!

Nice and good to know. So i can easily skip the next 2-3 Updates and can come back to Christmas this year....because "my" Lena doesn t want to be near Billy...not even in the slightest....! I guess i have to be patience for a while and watch when and how the Path between "Lena x Ian" will be go on.... :giggle: Bombshell Lena and Crackhead-Billy...yeah..:KEK:..not gonna happen...not now...not ever..! *shudders*...:sick:

Anyone know what patrons want to see in the next update?
An average EK patreon supporter founds himself in a desert. He's walking alone under the scorching sun, dehydrated and exhausted, when all of the sudden he comes across two signs. One points to the left and assures that there's water at the end, in addition to all necessary accommodations for a person hoping to escape the punishing heat. The other points to the right, with a following commentary: "Weather podcast: rains heavily with black penis. Possible significant other infidelity," and there's a trail of comically placed skeletons, each holding a small piece of cardboard, indicating a subscriber tier they were on.

I think what you see in a playthrough is canon for that particular playthrough. The background of the characters ultimately adapt to the choices of the player. The best example of this is the drinking game at the beach. In the drinking game for Ian you can choose yes or no and it seems that whatever you choose is the truth.
So you're saying that if we choose Ian to say he's stuck a finger in his ass before there may be a chance that he gets pegged later? Damn I'm going back and changing my answer.

Well, no. The point is that with your choices and prioritizing different attributes you literally define Lena's past. Lena has not slept around together with Ivy if she's Wits based. Heck, she didn't even really sleep around when she's Charisma based, as she doesn't do one-night stands in this scenario, either. Similarly, iirc there's no indication that Lena who refuses to take drugs from Ivy has done it before; much like the choice whether Lena smokes this seems to be applied to Lena's background retro-actively.

Also, Lena had sex with Ivy exactly once, when Ivy was upset/heartbroken over some guy. I think your idea of Ivy corrupting Lena into a huge slut is way off base in most cases (short of player choosing to play very promiscuous Lena themselves) and frankly, i have no clue why you'd cling so much to this idea, seemingly discarding any possibility this is not universal scenario.
I get what you're saying, but I wanna ask did wit-based Lena have a threesome with Axel and the ebony girl (forgot her name)? That's an undeniable truth right? Also her photos taken with Axel, are those things you can't change no matter which path you're on?

Yeah, the threesome is canon event since it is what caused Lena to break up with Axel. (well, technically it was him cheating on her, but it's still about Cherry) Same for the photos Axel "forgets" to remove from Lena's diary when he returns it.

Well thanks for confirming that. So at least those parts are always canon no matter what choices you make for Lena. And so it's a fact that she was pretty freaky and explored a variety of different things in bed with Axel, wouldn't you agree?

Like i said, if having sex other than missionary with one's boyfriend counts as getting pretty freaky then sure. But by that metric you'd struggle pretty hard to find a "non-freaky" human past their mid-twenties.

Freaky is probably fair enough though I think that descriptor applies to most of the characters in the game.

To be honest I don't think playing around with bdsm gear in the privacy of your own bedroom with a romantic partner is that unusual these days. Threesomes involving your romantic partner I would perhaps see as a bit more perverted simply because it requires quite a bit of trust, or y'know abuse lol, to set up. I guess it's a bit of a different boundary to cross and when you involve someone else that privacy between just you and your partner no longer exists.

Imagine living in a medieval age with today's knowledge of sex, positions and kinks. First, priests would call us a devil's spawn and then they would sentenced us to burning.

Yup, that ship has sailed when 50 Shades of Grey became a best-seller. :whistle:

The threesome is a bit more, but it is mainly on Axel introducing this to Lena, and Lena agreeing, being a good submissive that she apparently was.

Right. Given how variable Lena's background has become I hope it becomes an option to admit she finds Cherry hot too though. Doesn't necessarily have to end up in a scene with her or anything I suppose, but Lena with the lesbian kink at least it would be nifty to have her be able to have been more directly involved as opposed to the whole thing just being in service to Axel.

I don't know what country you live in, but where I come from a lot of girls won't even blow their boyfriends. Most of them stick to vaginal sex, be it missionary, doggy or whatever. It was also mentioned that Lena and Axel did try anal but had to call it off due to Axel's sheer girth and size. Well I'm not sure if having Lena on different paths would change that, maybe you can fact check for me. And I know for a fact that many cultures to this day still see having anal sex as a taboo and even a sin (not that I'm against it, I'm just stating how it is). So your statement that "by that metric you'd struggle pretty hard to find a "non-freaky" human past their mid-twenties" is simply wrong.

This is true. There's even a discussion on Reddit what women avoid the most blowjobs or anal.
