That's insane! Do you realize just how much work that would involve?! The game already has a lot of paths to account for with two character, let alone adding in a dozen kinks.
That would be a nice touch actually. But the game is already pretty full up on characters and paths. I can't even imagine the headache it is to keep track of all the options as it is.I hope the next chapters will include an Arthur character
I hope not, so that the actual development speeds up. Eva Kiss argued that the rewrite was necessary for all future chapters, an explanation I can accept, depending how the rest of the game will turn out.Do you think that it was last remaster in ORS development or there will be some more?
The visual and technical improvements are not the bottleneck - it's the writing. The developer has been experiencing a writing slump for more than a year. The latest progress update wasn't too optimistic either because Eva Kiss said she has just started to write the next chapter, and it's mentally taxing for her. I was skeptical from the beginning about ORS because I thought the project was too ambitious for its own good. Sadly, I might've been correct with my initial assumptions.
Yes, there were quite a few variables introduced in the earlier chapters. Without new saves the likelihood of critical errors will increase.
At this point, i think only Ed that has the possibilities to be "Arthur" like character but of course not as extreme as Arthur was in GGGB (Eva included him in the new poster for her patreon), and yes, this game already had too many character in them, so its kinda difficult to introduce new character like Arthur in this game, because of the complexity of this game
I didn't read that as a pesimistic sign; rather as a statement that it's just the way this part of the process is. I find that relatable myself, at least: When you're thinking out ideas in your own head and then later plotting out the basics of the story, it feels energizing and it's easy to be creative; but when you have to sit down and actually write the whole thing, it's most often hard work and quite draining (especially with the complexity of a story like this). Still, it's just a necessary job you have to work through to get the reward of a finished product.
Out of all the douchy moves I think the worst is for Ian to lie to Cherry and Lena to keep seeing both of them. It's actually possible to have sex with Cherry in Chapter 9 and still enter a relationship with Lena the day after, it's just a bit intricate to reach it. That involves Cherry explicitly asking if Ian and Lena are serious (during their meeting at the bar), Ian answering that Lena's just a friend, and Cherry deciding to go home with him as a result of that. Before that she's made it clear that she don't want to come between him and Lena after what happened between them in the past.
I still prefer just one character (female MC) like GGGB. I think it gives more options and paths and is less work for the DEV which translates to more frequent updates. I loved how replayable GGGB was, this feels a lot less so.
GGGB is a more complete game than ORS in its current form, obviously. but the quality of writing in ORS far surpasses GGGB. characters are much more fully realized this time around.
This will take longer and more work to complete than GGGB due to the increased complexity, but if he/she can pull it off, it may end up being much better. Time will tell. I certainly appreaciate both games and the work put into them. It's not easy.
The thing is, it has been one and a half months since the last alpha. Half the art and just starting to write sounds more like 3 weeks into a three month cycle.
He says that it was just a casual hookup, which is true, and Lena accepts that. And as far as I remember it is never brought up again between the two.
I don’t think it’s fully fair to compare with the alpha release here. In that case a three month cycle should be split into 2 1/2 months of making the alpha, and 1/2 month to refine the alpha into the final version, with the latter part coming first. In that case we’re only one month into the 2 1/2 month cycle of making the alpha. Still, I agree it doesn’t sound like it’s 40 percent finished either.
I might be wrong, but I remember it like the “Lena > 8” part of the relationship requirements was added between the alpha and final version of Chapter 9. If that’s correct, I would think it’s an indication that Eva wants to have some drama on that path.
