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

That's exactly what I'm afraid of: those who follow an exclusive Ian/Lena relationship are likely to see nothing between them in this chapter

that sucks
this is my favorite route

Again, what did you think you would see when you chose to peek on a man you knew was gay (something you have acknowledged game has told you earlier) while in a room with another guy you have sent there specifically, with Lena blushing like crazy when she suggested it? In a porn game, where "peek" options basically always provide the player with scenes of other people having sex?

I'm sorry but this is either a low-brow performance art on your part, or you're very dim-witted. If it's the latter then i'm genuinely sorry but it is a "you" problem.

I did think i would see them chatting about photoshoot business Billy was talking about previously, as Lena says right after you choose to peek behind that door.

We just need to admit that EK were going for shock value here, that's all. Y'all keep saying that i'm trolling here, but i really wasn't expecting to see that gay sex scene, just like Lena deliberately saying that's not what she would expect to happen at all.

At the end of this update Lena who is in close relationship with Ian mentions that she'd try to invite Ian to the party which is supposed to happen on the next day. So odds are you are going to see something between them.

I imagine Ian will show up either way, even if just to torture SerHawkes about potential Ian/Ivy or Ian/Ivy/Lena.

When was the last time you saw people chatting when you took option to peek on them in ORS? If you are serious then it's genuinely dumb expectations which completely failed to learn the pattern from all previous instances of peeking on people in this game in previous 13 chapters, and in porn games in general.

 

[leg28]

how many chapters ORS is going to have?

 

[ffive]

Also, i just checked - Lena didn't say that she heard some moans behind that door BEFORE the player can choose to peek. Which means that EK were deliberately going for a shock value here, and there cannot be any two opinions about this.

Yes, a shock value of discovering that a gay man who is into another man ends up having sex with said man in a porn game if you go out of your way to put them in the same room. For the very purpose of helping the gay man have sex, like you discussed it with him earlier.

This is like acting shocked that if you pick for your Lena to have a BBC fetish, pump her full of drugs and send her to an alley with Marcel after he hits on her, she ends up sucking on his dick and not trading tips on how to screen people who enter the club.

Out of curiosity is there any tattoo variations ivy can give lena besides the QoS?

No it's always the same, Ivy tattoed what she wanted as a funny thing to do

 

[whamma]

She can cheat on Ian with Jeremy in the last update with low friendship and cuck route. Her inner monologue is particularly cruel to Ian actually.

Which scene is this?

 

[Saerwen]

how many chapters ORS is going to have?

From 16-20.

Hmm, no, this isn't limited to Axel route, it happens also if Lena chooses option to take a selfie, and likely on all other routes, seeing how the relevant block is copy/pasted in all branches:

            scene v14_pool_selfie_bg
            if v14_topless < 1:
                if lena_bikini == 1:
                    show v14_pool_selfie_bg1
                elif lena_bikini == 2:
                    show v14_pool_selfie_bg2
                elif lena_bikini == 3:
                    show v14_pool_selfie_bg3
            if lena_smoke:
                show v14_pool_selfie_bg_smoke
            show v14_pool_selfie

Effectively, game only shows the last variant which is Lena topless. All others (the ones with _bg extension, including the _smoke one) are not defined, so they don't have any effect (and if they did, if the image is not composite then with how this block is structured, they'd likely get obstructed by the final topless image anyway)

I really can't follow with your "not defined" expression, are you getting an error code? a missing image error on screen?
I will say that I was too quick in saying that there are no composites, v14_pool_selfie is most definitely a composite image.The only other bug I found was that the composite checks for v14_topless == False and not < 1. Is this your bug?

 

[unocrus]

I guess the only exception is Minerva.

She probably goes and fucks

Lol well i did not care for that setup, so i didn't get involved, and would not peek at that door either way

I've had very little hope for this game for the last year, looking at the direction Eva is heading, turning it into GGGB2.0. I thought nothing would surprise me anymore, but congratulations, EvaKiss. When I thought we'd reached the bottom, you knocked me down from below.

She is a woman... God forbid a woman writes few scenes she finds hot. The male species anytime they don't get what they want throw tantrums like babies

Did you just assume EvaKiss gender? And the audience gender too?

Can you share the save?

 

[Gicoo]

Haven't played the update and wasn't even sure if the scene was legit. Seems also low quality.

I was mostly surprised because Eva stated to not write and draw gay scenes. Granted, maybe the phrasing was vague and there was no absolute on that matter. Not 100% sure on the claim (just with the 16-20 chapters comment), probably found deep in patreon or even discord.

The scene itself seems small and whatever enough to not cry about it without being a little bitch yourself, but I can share some worry regarding the overall direction the game goes. Billy and Danny are mostly utilized to progress Lena's model route, but their aren't characters woven in the plot that we relate to. The entire mansion chapter is very whelming. It's not that no character progresses, there are some bits for Lena, Ivy or Mike, but its few and not terribly much. Better than Lenas side in chapter 13 (that was copy paste nothingness) but its evident that the game lost some steam and after five years, it better be preparing for the finish line. I can see Eva being frustrated not executing many storylines as intended. The past patreon posts suggest they haven't planned much and rely too much on the audience to throw ideas at them.

Given the games incredible premise, I don't know if Eva could've made it better, the claims they sold themselves out to the crowd are neither proven nor disproven. Maybe its stalling and milking, maybe its stalling and burnout, maybe the current pace and events were planned.

No way in hell EK is a woman, I'll bet my life on it.

Sorry, it was a bit of a messup on my part -- i was checking the "show v14_pool_selfie_bg1" etc lines in the console, and when it didn't produce any visible results i started to dig deeper and got side-tracked with something that wasn't really relevant in the end.

Testing more thoroughly, it seems that actual error is with definition of v14_pool_selfie. This composite has Lena shown posing topless for the selfie based on condition v14_topless == False but in the game's text the dialogue is branched based on condition if v14_topless == 1

This produces bit of edge case with Lena who started topless but put her top back on (and so the variable value is 0.5) -- she takes a topless selfie (because in the composite the check to put bra on isn't met) but the dialogue branch the player gets is for Lena who has her clothes on (because the check whether she is topless also isn't met)

Lena with 0.5 variable posing topless is also a bit of inconsistency, since she's potentially posting such pics on her social account where she wouldn't even take pics like that with a photographer in private.

All in all not a biggie, just a bit of inconsistency.

 

[SerHawkes]

So we got Billy getting railed but no Ian and Ivy in 5 going onto 6 years huh...

There is no hope. Only pain and suffering from a developer who is skilled issued in more ways than one.
