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

[Slick Bean]

Oh, but on the dev stand point, you absolutely have to, or else that scene is a totaly disgusting scene.
On the one hand, each and every one of the males is acting moronically and throwing himself at Lena,
from Seymour the social idiot to Stan the social depraved - they absolutely all thrown themselves onto Lena all the time.

You don't have to be specifically

There is no rhyme to have some random character this late do exactly like all other 25 characters before,
unless it is to spite Jeremy - flare his insecurity and actually steal his thunder in his own club - BAM!

 

[Socrambus]

What if the Cindy route inst supposed to be pure?
You are stealing her from one of your best friends,the whole Ian-Cindy route is toxic from the beggining...

You have a point, but if Cindy's story is going to be the same no matter what you choose (love, lust, try to help her relationship with Wade or just ignore the whole situation), then your choices are kind of meaningless, don't you think?. They would only affect how your Ian feels about her story. Plenty of games around where your choices don't really matter but it would feel weird in this game.

I'm not saying there has to be a happy ending to her path, it's not pure and has many difficulties to overcome starting with the treasonous beginning and continuing with all the hiding from your group of friends, her starting career as a model or Ian's relationships with the other love interests. But Cindy's actions should be affected by Ian's decisions IMO.

 

[Gicoo]

Yes. There are currently around 4 Cindy paths and the issue with the epilogue is that it hurts the first two:

1. Ian helps Cindy and Wade: Cindy flirts wih Axel anyways, helping Wade seems to be pointless.
2. Ian romances Cindy: Cindy flirts with Axel anyways, all the romantical build-up and the passion of Ian and Cindy during chapter 1-9 becomes moot, since Cindy may just fuck around anyways.

3. Ian fucks Cindy: Cindy flirts with Axel, this is "fair", since Ian doesn't commit to her and possibly also dates Lena/Alison, so Cindy isn't as loyal to Ian.
4. Ian doesn't help Wade and ignores Cindy: Cindy flirts with Axel, this is also logical and the expected result of that plotline.

I just find it needlessly restrictive to route Marcel to BBC specifically this late in the game.

 

[Ilcoriglianese forte]

Definitely against the grain, but I played 4 times and honestly I didn't understand why so much fuss was made for a game of average enjoyment, the character I hate most is Lena, followed by Ivy, but being friends, the result couldn't have been different, 2 false personalities and manipulators, Lena a fake saint, and Ivy a profiteer. Few characters are saved, the first of all is Ian, the real cornerstone, luckily for me, in the game I have always managed not to create a relationship with Lena, and make Ian a top and Lena the slut he deserves.

 

[mangosok]

This game has soul. I started playing a porn game and ended up watching a dramedy all night. 10/10.
But I can't understand why Ian doesn't consider Holly his girlfriend if they've had sex several times already and he's said more than once that he's crazy about her. Did I do something wrong?

Probably not. Its weird how Ian can't commit to anyone except Lena and kind of Cindy. I suppose this the spanish dating culture in which you can fuck someone constantly without it meaning its a relationship.

I'll laugh when Ian catches Cindy jumping on Axel's dick when he chose the "romantic" route with her. What else do we expect: play stupid games (betraying your friend by stealing his girlfriend) - win stupid prizes. If Cindy cheated on Wade, there's nothing stopping her from cheating on Ian. Once a hoe, always a hoe.

Why spanish?

 

[Gicoo]

Why spanish?

Developer is spanish so presumable they draw upon what they experienced in their culture.

I didn't know, thanks.

 

[La Dani]

it's a destiny for every female MC, but yea, game encourage you all the time to do that

True. I’ m trying a new route from beginning enveloping a story with Ian and a (enough) good Lena. At the first error she turn into a slut.

 

[Mesmerizet]

i wish the gallery would be like GGGB, allowing all variables to be set by us prior so we can see all variations of dialogue/scene as per the story, instead of having to play thru the story every time.

 

[starkj]

Sometimes i wish i could only play as Ian, 2 protags can be interesting but it usually turns into a mess later on.

Yeah, I feel you. It's a cool concept but right now I'm just trying to play all the different routes for Ian and I wish I could just skip the Lena-Parts completely, especially in all the routes where Ian has nothing much to do with her

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't GGGB didn't have a gallery function till like version 0.6 or 60% ish of complete? or was I another game. At first it was a modder that enable a gallery function and you can pick n choose what tattoo,cloths,slutty/good girl Ashley was?

I didn't know it was just a spanish thing, I thought that the "friend with benefits" thing and casual relationships were relatively common all around the West. Also, Ian and Holly have sex like 3-4 times over a period of like 2 months. I don't think it's weird that they are not necessarily in a serious relationship. Maybe Holly being a virgin makes it a bit more strange that she's cool to keep it casual. But I'm spanish too, so maybe that's why it's normal to me.

Holly isn't a virgin, she had two sex-partners in the past.
But I agree with you. In many western/european countries it is kinda 'common' nowadays to have sex a few times before you enter a serious relationship. Or don't enter it at all and keep it 'casual'. More and more people are moving away from 'labels' anyway.

I just remembered that some of the answers affecting the relationship between Ian and Holly were for some reason inaccessible to me. One answer option was unavailable during the literary event, the other was when Ian did not want to talk about the breakup with his ex-girlfriend. This may have affected the storyline. Holly is not a virgin, btw, she had a similar relationship history. Almost everyone in this game is dead inside.

Think we could get the android update link yet
