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

[NewSeal]

Ivy getting Lena, Holly, Ian hooked on drugs

Speaking of which, I wonder what the significance of Ivy introducing Lena to stronger drugs will be down the line. I mean, any choice that requires will to deny is usually a pretty important one to the story, but what makes me curious in this case is that Ivy - as much of a cold hearted bitch as she can be - is still Lena's best friend. Would she really have ill-intent towards the only person who likes her for who she is, rather than her looks or fame?
Then again, she does go behind Lena's back to work with Axel (and does who knows what else with him), so maybe she really is equally small as she is hot.

Those votes won't change buddy, the game was rigged from the start.

What you said reminds me of the Fallout NV introduction, I guess those who expected something different from the survey felt like the protagonist, right?

Let's just say that this phrase from new vegas was a good way to describe eva's vote.

And why isn't there a cuckqueaning kink? Why is it soo hard for devs to make the woman in the game cuck once in a while, where she shares the man with different girls, its just sad....

Cuckolding is more popular than cuckqueaning even among the couples, why? No idea, I'm just telling that it is by reading various articles and discussions on the forums.

I guess to give patreons a false impression that their choices really matter.

It might be just that, easy engagement. We can see it has like 10 times the usual ammount of comments. It's an easy tactic that many bosses don't bother to use, instead of just doing whatever the fuck you want, ask your subordinates first for their opinion and then do whatever the fuck you wanted to do anyway. It costs you nothing and people will feel appreciated just to be listened to.

 

[Xupuzulla]

Evakiss just wanted to add prostitution so she made a bullshit poll to add it with her patreons approval

 

[Housewife]

I AM NOT A CUCK!!!!

Yeah, yeah.. Of course we know

I didn't like the ending of my last playthrough (Perry got frustrated and kicked everyone out, his friendship with Ian seemed ruined and Wade was dumped by Cindy).
Ok, so I started from the beginning. My main focus was to be as supportive to Ian friends as possible (Perry, Wade and Emma - cause they are the only ones Ian owns any loyalty), select only 1 LI for Ian and stick to it (I chose Emma cause she is the only one I find interesting).

The outcome, however, wasn't satisfacting either: all I managed was to help Perry with Cherry which eventualy made the rejection by Emma less hard for him. However, despite my efforts and all of the support, Wade ended again being dumped by Cindy.

That drives me to the conclusion that in order to change the final I actually have to work against Wade's interest and help Cindy instead. Their relacion is clearly toxic and common sense doesn't apply (obviously). It's a little bit silly cause Ian owns Cindy nothing and, TBH, she is the last character I would do any favours.

So, what is the solution here: help her get through the modeling sessions and befriend her (yuck!)? Won't that backfire on Ian's relation with Wade?

Support and encourage their relationship, I think is the short answer. It's doomed anyway, but that'll give Wade the strength and clarity necessary to end it himself rather than be dumped.

Shame that nobody wanted fisting. I wanted to see a cheating Lena get fisted by Ian if she ain't whoring it up for Seymour.

This people are so clueless...

Well, Eva says directly she'll use it as a gauge for future material, however far into the future were talking.

I don't think polling your audience should be seen as an endeavour lacking purpose in of itself, though I understand your criticism. She introduces the poll by mentioning "variety" but includes options like bbc, cucking and ffm which is already represented fairly imo.

I could see that she'll perhaps adjust what art she spends her time making. There is not much reason to spend a ton of time making fisting, watersports, rimming and foot fetish material if comparably few players care about it for example. I could also see her emphasise some of the more popular kinks with more of the various characters so players have a good selection regardless of who they pair up Lena and Ian with.

The game has been in a bit of a mess for two or three chapters now, and the time taken to develop is increasing. It seems pretty clear to me EK has hit a major creative roadblock and is struggling with devising new scenes and conflicts.

I'd say the person you are quoting is bang on the money about how this poll is quite worrying for the future of the game because it reveals both a lack of confidence (in it existing at all), and a lack of understanding of the work she has already done (the options included being largely stuff we've already gone through).

 

[Xupuzulla]

The seething about cuckholding is weird,that option is not even in the top 3 in the poll,even BBC is doing just ok wich is surprising,you will think the EK degen patreons would vote more for that...

So, what is the solution here: help her get through the modeling sessions and befriend her (yuck!)? Won't that backfire on Ian's relation with Wade?

I'll try to do a simple quick guide (someone correct me if I'm missing something):

• Ian doesn't fuck Cindy
  • Don't make Ian go for Cindy and choose to tell Wade "You need to fight for Cindy" in chapter 4.
  • I'm not sure if this is really needed or not, but just in case don't leave before Cindy goes to Axel's flat for the photo session, make sure to choose "No touching" the second time, when he touches her leg and after the session tell her "Do you really want to be with Wade?".
  • During the last chapter, on the beach house tell Wade "Are you even happy with her?".
• Ian fucks Cindy
  • You can go all in after Cindy, just make sure to make Ian stop Wade from calling Cindy once he sees the post with the photos in chapter 6.
  • You continue going after Cindy, kiss her and/or fuck her after the birthday party disaster. Once you go with her to the photo session on Axel's flat, make sure to choose "No touching" the second time, when he touches her leg.
  • During the last chapter, on the beach house tell Wade "Are you even happy with her?".

The result for both these paths is that Wade decides do break up with Cindy during the beach trip and is on his way to accept their relationship is simply over and that's for the better.

Ok, I think I know what I missed: I refused to go with Cindy for that photo session. The rest of the choices you pointed out were same in my playthrough.

You know Eva has been conducting such polls since GGGB days right? She simply uses them to know her patrons, gauge what they like, get them involved, yk some basic shit. It has nothing to do with future or writing of the game smh.

I agree with you but you will think Evakiss would have a good idea of what her patreons like by now.
For me this poll seems like a way for EK to keep her paid patreons "involved" while shes finishing the Seymour update,give them what they want and keep them happy.

Contrary to opinion of some these "Sigma freeloaders", cuckolding has never been a big of deal for most of her patrons rather they prefer corruption/ cheating over it. This new poll doesn't include Cheating in it, probably reason why cuckolding got so many votes, it's the closest one to cheating.

 

[Puggy Aiden]

How can I make Perry romance Cherry? She should kiss him before saying goodbye after the exhibition right?

 

[Puggy Aiden]

Is this the reason perry isn't will romancing cherry for me?
