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

[Sethmsf]

Good to know that was already a bug, i'm on middle of ch.6 same route no JD mod all clean, so finally take off that of my mind.

Ty

Cool, I'm glad I was able to clear your doubts. Enjoy the game!

Splitting the chapter into parts is a great idea. It shortens the length of the release and easy to arrange things in small updates.

 

[noturiah]

I was subbed since 0.3 for GGGB after trying it here and I was subbed for ORS up until last year due to financial strain. I'll sub back when I'm in position to. Eva has actually been one of the few devs I've ever been subbed to for any meaningful amount of time

I missed the original development of GGGB entirely, but discovered ORS here after the release of chapter 4 and subbed on Patreon for quite a while. As with you, Eva is one of the few devs I've supported on Patreon for a decent amount of time. I eventually unsubbed because of the Stan rework. Eva got her act together again after a while, but then I had job-related issues because of Covid and I had to drop all my Patreon subs (I was supporting a few VNs and a couple of musicians at the time). I relocated for work this past spring, and then this summer I moved again, this time permanently. Now that I'm settled, and because I'm really liking the Prologue-Chapter-Epilogue style of releases, and because it sounds like we're really going to be moving the plot forward in chapter 12, I'm seriously considering re-subbing.

So basically as I said, slut Lena can be sumarized with one word. Women

Only if you're one of these weird individuals who think that having sexual drive as a woman is somehow completely different from having one as a man.

[pavan23559]

Did you use jmod? Normally, she shouldn't automatically fall for Jack, she can always rebuke him.

yeah i used mod.. and deleted it again..thanks man.

A Rant.

The thing is.. i genuinely think ian x lena is truly canon..and i liked their romance.. ( i'm did'nt cheat like AT ALL and don't like to too...) I played as good lena ( smart and charasmatic too).. who is'nt dick crazed... it feels right to me.. ( her getting cheated and all that) but i feel like the game is forcing lena to act like a SLUT which i'm not liking.. ( i only want lena x ian or lena x holly.lena x iva..) Like should lena really need to steal.? make an Only fans.? accept seymor offer... to get by...I'm saying this as a dude.. who plays vn for sex scenes and good story too.. That seymour blackmailing and cutting lena off of all the ways she could earn money by being dignified.. that boiled my blood. I wish situation for her gets better.... not choosing to be on OF and not accepting seymon's offer does smtg good).. i hope so. I'm not trying to be stan here.. but it was gut wrenching. TBH after that scene i looked at myself.. and realized i've been doinf that to female characters in the name of ntr and corruption too.. i wish i did'nt do that.. and chose to enjoy in a good way.. ( i'm not saying this just cuz i like lena as an LI even if she was random npc.. that was horrible.. i was genuinely scared man. ( and many ppl want stan and lena to get together.? fuck no).. That dude. even mentions ian might be dangerous.. when she told he was her boyfriend..( my ian was'nt a cheater at ALLLLL). he even tries to be desparate. ( Yes i did self insert in stan.until that point.. I made lena treat him like a normal human too. that sly bastard.)And god forbid why the fuxk did i chose to unlock gallery.. ( i could've enjoyed the scenes if i did'nt grew attached to lena or other characters.. but... she is a good person. and i want it to be that way.)
And I really am angry at axel ( this bastard dares to cheat w multiple women.. and still chase her.. and seymon.. fuck.. can't we do anything..i mean anything.?

Is a porn videogame,the whole point is the characters having sex.
Who wants to play a game where Lena and Ian have morals all the time,that would be so boring.

I get that, you're not playing it to have a beautiful romance. I'm saying the male LIs for Lena are questionable at best. Like, Mike could easily be single. Robert is pathetic prick. Axel is Axel....

Sexual drive is fine, Lena's LIs aren't

 

[rj677]

Will Stan finally get his dick wet?

I hope so... I completely agree with you, Stan not getting his DICK WET all this time is a pretty disgusting behaviour to be honest. Even more so when this is happening while hes living with 2 gorgeous women

Good on you to remind him that he should SHOWER more often . Man, I just love it when people here look out for the characters in a real life kind of way .

This has been discussed before in the thread and yeah,most people agree Ian LIs are better than Lena ones.
Probably the only "pure" love romance you can have with Lena is with Holly.

 

[WatsonJohn]

Not refuting Lena tending to fuck every character in the game, but you can play wholesome Lena being just friends with Ivy, Holly and Ian and ignoring the sex creeps that usually shut up if Lena says no. Even without considering thats a porn game, guys will naturally be interested in a attractive sociable woman and are encouraged to ask her out, even losers like Stan.

You can do the same thing in GGGB as well. But that game and this clearly cater to a particular path. The scenes that focus this heavily outweigh scenes that don't, and by scenes I don't just mean sex scenes.

Sexual drive is fine, Lena's LIs aren't

For "slut Lena" they are hook ups, not LIs. Lena isn't picking them so she can hold hands with them and dream of future together, but to get off, which they deliver. It's not "women " any more than a guy hooking up with a girl and keeping at it even when he well realizes she isn't "girlfriend material" but because sex is good is "men ".

Now, if your actual point was indeed that male characters in the game are mostly lacking as LIs, then you'll probably find very little disagreement around here. But it was weird choice to tie this discussion to "slut Lena" specifically, because if anything it'd apply to Lena who is an opposite of a "slut", i.e. looking for actual relationship and not casual fucks.

The game provides (porn) options. But the existence of this content doesn't mean it's trying to make you play only in the way that lets you see all content in single playthrough. That's on the player and how they choose to approach it. If anything, the fact considerable chunks of this content is mutually exclusive hints at the opposite, possibly a preference for multiple playthroughs with less unbridled approach.

Even as hook-up material, they are quite lacking. Blackmailing is not cool. Fuck you Robert!

 

[0tt0von]

ORS is a porn, visual. choose your own adventure, if a particular adventure does not appeal to you then don't choose it

The above does not apply to those who lack the mental acuity to not choose the paths they don't like. Those people should continue to do that and then whine incessantly about it, after all just because they are booger sucking morons doesn't mean they shouldn't get to play ORS.

Never said the game forces you to play a single path, hence the terms "cater" and "focus". Those mutually exclusive scenes heavily favor a particular path. In fact, you can get most or all of those scenes in one path while you don't see most of them on the other. The most of those "exclusive" content you'll get are text changes. In the most recent update for example, the new scenes you get from Lena are her getting fucked by either Axel or Jack, giving blowjob to either Jeremy or Marcel, and lastly with Ian. On the more romantic and less slutty path, you get some satisfaction of rebuffing Axel and sex with Ian. Lena could have a more meaningful relationship other than with Ian, more scenes with Holly both romantically and platonically. Hell, she could have had other decent options than Ian. As I said before, I'm here mostly for the fetishizing, but let's not kid ourselves with what the game caters to more. Despite what the author said, ORS bears a lot of narrative similarities to GGGB.

With the next patch, will this game get completed tag?
