i hope this is the last game evakiss does with dual protagonist. You can tell she's putting ALOT of work into it and honestly this feels like a much bigger game than GGGB already but having dual protagonist means that each update feel so much smaller depending on which protagonist you identify more with.

Personally, I love having dual protagonists, maybe because I generally prefer romance to "corruption" also it doesn't hurt that IMO Lena x Ian path is the best-written one in the game. With dual protagonists, the romance route provides more depth: we see the motivations, growth, and inner thoughts of both characters.

Regarding the updates seeming smaller, I remember reading the same complaints when GGGB was in development. So, I wouldn't attribute it solely to having dual protagonists, but rather to the game having too many branches.

She takes care of those remaining 10% and then adds some 50% extra on top of that. :sneaky:

It's weird that Ian doesn't get a positive response after Lena got the ball rolling.

Oh, and this is what I was talking about with the relationship icons seeming broken, at least for Holly Trinity

In the middle of their second threesome, but one has the cracked heart, the other a regular smiley. Though that was Ian/Holly + Lena (late). I guess the break is never healed? And Lena/Holly don't get a heart because...?

I think that Eva just forgot about it, even the character bios haven't been updated in ages. On my Ian x Lena route, Ian's bio still says "They both feel it's too early to define their relationship", despite them already committing to serious relationship.

IIRC it was mentioned some months back by PilotLara that the Agenda isn't really actively maintained part of the game so yeah, relationship icons may not be updated properly and bugs in there will often go unnoticed. It's probably something that's left until the game's plot is wrapped up.

"Eva" is a dude btw. Posing as a girl as a marketing tactic.

Agreed, and I even like both protagonists equally. If you double the amount of work, you half the amount of progress you can make in any amount of time. The game is pretty consistently high quality, but it's clear at this point that the amount of variables and character branches to account for is crippling the pace of these updates, and when they do drop they feel like baby steps.

I kind of want EK to wrap up ORS, not prematurely, but I think she's learned a lot from doing this, and the next game she makes is definitely not going to be dual protagonists.
