VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.14.1.4 Beta] [Eva Kiss]

[Night Hacker]

And people getting deeply invested in whether a fictional character will or will not cheat on their fictional partner.

While they are fictional, there is still a story here, fictional or not, and there is still a developer with a story in mind and conversation about whether he will have them cheat or not based on whatever clues he gives in the story is still relevant, whether you think so or not. I know you probably just want pure porn with no story, but some of us actually like a good story.

 

[Princess Groundhog]

LMAO, love that you added the cat at the top!

Where else would you rank Lola, the best pussy.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Wasn't she the store owner/worker (who you could spy on in the back room)?

Yeah, she is. Or exactly the same girl, but a different personality, if ORS is an alternative universe.

Not at all, I'm very happy about the story and the character development. What I'm talking about is people getting all riled up about whether or not someone is a cheater. That shit cracks me right up.

 

[IDoAThing]

not surprised the conversation has gone in this direction, people are getting their last minute psychosis out.

 

[Arata20]

I don't want to hear anything. Louise and Emma are best girls in the game. Dot.

 

[KristopheH]

No explanation will be forthcoming. This is just how things are.

[bauman]

Why include Lola? I thought the ORS community wasn't *that* type of community.
Also, Bad Jess should definitely be in there.

Why has Eva locked Holly away from Lena if there's a Lena/Ian dating aspect on? I kind of understood not letting Lena kiss Holly after the book con and Lena calling Ian out, but even without that it's still a killed choice by the dev. Really odd choice, wasn't expecting this game, that has so much freedom elsewhere, to restrict it so much in this one area.

Oh, complete aside, but who is the white haired lady (blue blazer) in the recent tier posts? I don't think she show'd in my playthroughs.

Re your first question, I thought I saw Eva Kiss say that she had to limit certain choices just to keep from having to deal with so many variables. I imagine her GGGB experience taught her that too many story branches requires an unsustainable level of development. And GGGB only had one protagonist. With two in this one it must be even more challenging to deal with.

The woman in the blue blazer, to answer your second question, is the associate of Seymour's who shows up at Lena's photoshoot with Axel. I think her inclusion in the tier lists is tongue-in-cheek, but who knows? Maybe we'll have an option to sleep with her at some point.

 

[Hungover00]

RE: second point.

Ah, thanks. Hated Axel, so never gave him a second that wasn't forced.

As for the first point, I get that could be an issue, but it really felt like the game was leading towards more Holly content, and then pulled back for whatever reason. My first pass on the game had me wanting a Ian/Lena/Holly throuple, but that just blew up in my face. Which kinda sucks.

Now I'd want to add Emma to that hypothetical polycule. Maybe Ivy, but hesitant on that for the group dynamic.

It seems to by a storyline Eva has on mind regarding these three. The way it can develop in game suggests that eventually Lena can get involved with Holly even with Ian in the picture (whether he's with Holly or Lena herself) but it'll only happen after some hand-wringing on Lena's part.

Ah, that's frustrating but understandable. I suppose I'll get a chance to see that in a year or two, if what I understand about update schedules is correct. Shame.

me wanting a Ian/Lena/Holly throuple

Eva confirmed a long time ago Ian/Lena/Holly (The Holly Trinity) will happen but won't be fast and or easy to achieve.

If you switch Minerva and Louise, this is pretty much my own personal tier, good taste

 

[Mr. Muscles]

Even when breaking up with Louise at the concert, they still get together after the rent debacle with Stan. Is that how it's really supposed to go? It doesn't seem like there's a choice to reject her, Lena just goes to her room.

IIRC there might be some bugs concerning Lena/Louise, but not sure if these have been fixed in the build available in this thread (10.3), or in 10.4 which was released later and didn't make it here.

Good to hear! That definitely fits with my natural play-style, was really disappointed when it seemed blocked.

Also learning that I really don't like being eskimo brothers with Jeremy. But don't mind nabbing Emma away from Perry (though I did try and help them get together first run).
