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

[dontcarewhateverno]

Figured I'd link this for anyone looking for something to pass the time till the next ORS update. Mainly aimed at those attracted to ORS for the quality writing and art vs many other avns. My big complaint is that it doesn't have nearly the choices ORS does so far. But it seems like a promising new game, actually quite a bit better than ORS regarding both art and writing, if not sex scenes (definitely seems like a slow burn). Also a bit slow for me in general, though still early in development. There aren't really many decent AVNs around, so I'm not too picky on personal preferences when something seemingly well-crafted hits my radar. https://f95zone.to/threads/the-silver-lining-v0-4-namuswill.165063/

More slowburn stuff while we are still waiting for Lena's first DP or full cuckold scene after eleven chapters => thanks but no thanks.

There are thousands of games on here in which the girl goes from innocent to super-slut within a day or two. So if you like those kind of games you have plenty to choose from. Please leave us enjoyers of a somewhat realistic corruption a handful of games as well. I really hope Eva doesn't go overboard and instead continues with her slowburn and comparatively natural writing

- On Jessica: I could not care less. And wasn't she last in the popularity poll? So is not just me. She no longer has the "bombshell" aura from the previous game. And there is 0 chemistry between her and Ian, so any scene will feel forced.
- On Nat: It is not that important that she is developed. But we know she is in a sort of more "open" relationship. So Why not have Ian participate in a one-night stand like it happened in the other game.
- On Allison: Meh, no li material. She is ok, but I would rather have more Cherry. Fuck Perry getting her. That was one hot black chick finally done right. Not that I have a fetish. But I like variety, and black girls in adult games tend to look bad. I'll leave it at that.
- On Gillian: everybody already wrote what needed to be. Why the fuck make a dream sequence and have her meet Ian again if it will go absolutely nowhere?
- On Ivy: not getting any content with her and Ian any time soon is by far the most disappointing bit of the Q&A. And she is one of the popular girls with the patrons.
I really don't get Eva's treatment of Jessica, Nat, Gillian and Ivy. Hope the patrons let her know their disappointment (respectfully of course).

For 11 Chapters her fans pushed her into fetishes and the story went downhill slowly with many character's left hanging as the game has massive branching's. I wouldn't put my faith on her PATRONS. This is their doing and EK got sucked into it.

Except it hasn't gone downhill Not yet. When exactly would you say it went downhill cause of the fetishes? Also, idk what you were expecting given Eva's previous game. Cause the thing is, ORS is superior to GGGB in almost every way.

This is 100% true, just look at the way characters who are in the top 3 choices in the voting are treated. 11 episodes and so far so little development that these characters don't even seem like options anymore: Ian x Ivy, Ian x Gillian, Lena x Axel, Ian x Louise.

Stan for some reason was always at the top of the polls and look at the prominence he received, Marcel was at the top in the last polls and will already receive scenes in the next and future episodes when he was only an extremely secondary character, unfortunately the polls are dictating the course of the game.

I think you have missed recent news

1. Chapter's are cut down to 15-16
2. YES! This was story-driven not fetish-driven but character's get nerfed and bullshit character's got reworked(Stan) and ton of content(Robert) and other's were just waiting DESPITE BEING IMPORTANT TO STORY LINE!
3. and all those important to story character's are nibbling on bread pieces which are eaten by other character's (just an analogy)
4. for 11 chapters, some important to story character's are thrown to the roadside despite being on top of the polls.

Story-driven and what is the progress of story now? Do think! This was story of "Ian and Lena" and character's important to them. Being blind is not a sin, being blinded is.

Yeah it's disappointing as fuck to see how only 11 chapters in Ian and Ivy are just fucking now starting to hang out and actually flirt, even though in the OOG we had Ivy kiss Ian on the cheek, to then have a flirty moment, to the shitty current state. Eva's fucked up big time and continues to cater to the fetishists than actually stay true to her story. Sure, fetishists are nice once in a fucking while, but to have them in over and over again while glossing over your own story or even neglect certain characters, specially ones who have had zero content? Yeah, EK gets F on that regard.

26) Ivy is primarily intended as a major character in Lena’s story, but Eva plans to have Ivy be more involved with Ian’s narrative “down the line”.

"Down the line..." So likely fucking never. Way to completely fucking screw over the fans who have been waiting since the first release EK. Round of a fucking applause. Welp, looks likely I'll be drop kicking this game then and going nuclear on her discord then.

 

[kinkyshin]

Yea, that'll show her

is 16 chapters enough to explore all that is left?

that's just 5 more chapters, more like 4, since last chapter is for wrapping everything up

No. It's not. But given how EK is almost always bound to writers block, getting over worked on her own project, and other excuses, she's likely gonna shoehorn in as much fetish content as possible while screwing over her own vison of the story just for the pay checks. Which pretty much translates to a already below average story getting far far worse, characters that you would have hoped to have content with getting passed over, yet again, in place of cringy Stan getting a pity fuck with Lena, Lena-Holly-Cindy getting blacked without any true work up just to appease the bbc fetishist, and not to mention Ian getting cucked and NTRed by Jeremy or Marcel or who the fuck ever, again just to appease the fetishists, while shafting over characters like Ivy-Ian, Emma-Ian, and others who have been neglected and shafted countless times.

It'll probably go full mindless fuck fest like GGGB did after Eric died/returned, that's when EK got bored and hastily rounded up the good/naughty girl part and shelled out mostly shallow Tyrone/Arthur content for the Bimbo/porn Ash route. Replace Tyrone/Arthur with the insufferable duo of Jeremy/Stan and you probably have Lenas content for the future releases.

Minimum of 18 chapters was required imo for it to not become half assed. But since it's 16...

It's gonna be half assed to kingdom come. Story is gonna be rushed and lack depth and everything. All because she will be appeasing the kink fans and shit. And to think, this game would have been truly remarkable. Now, it's gonna turn into just another shitty kink game which are a dime a dozen.

Love the votes of confidence here... you guys certainly make the authors feel appreciated. /s
Also... " already below average story "? Dude, have you *seen* the other stuff around here? This is orders of magnitude better than most other stuff. Average? <insert Inigo Montoya gif here>

Beg pardon. Some of us call it like it is. Like what do you honestly expect? Kissing a Devs ass, praising them constantly, hoping they deliver on content only to not get it for 3+ years, and we should sing praises and support the dev? Yeah, like that truly fucking happens. Not everyone here is a kiss ass or simp to Devs in that regard, specially ones who fail to deliever content or sell themselves out to appease fetishists all for a quick cash.

Evakiss being radio silent=check
The usual suspects complaining about Ivy content=check
Chances of the words Stan and rework being used in the next 5-10 posts=90%

We are just hurt that ORS is not able to peak it's potential!

So this is more of a reply to different posts.
- 16 chapters does seem to little. But how the fuck does EK ending it to soon relates to "All because she will be appeasing the kink fans and shit appeasing the kink fans and shit"? One is not the consequence of the other. If she is cutting it short is because she is getting tired of it, and/or because she doesn't want to still be doing it in 2+ years.
- Her last point EK writes "she intends to build up the spiciness of the scenes in ORS but wants to keep the story semi-realistic". In another point she says there will be more 3somes and pregnancy. To me that fits the "spiciness and keeping it semi-realistic". So no fuckfest aside maybe for "Bimbo Alison".
- Again, coming from GGGB and Eva expressing she wanted this to be semi-realistic meant the some fetishes would come into play.
- Lets review chapter 1:
Who is introduced: For Ian: Bitch boss is introduced, Friend with hot model-like gf is introduced, Athletic black-man friend who works in a bar is introduced. For Lena: bitch redhead-friend, Overweight shy computer geek roomate, Poledancer girl, etc. So let's put Alison development aside; and you cant tell me that from very early on the personalities for who was who and how things could develop werent present.
You keep blaming the fans fetishes. But again aside from Alison the story developed according to how it was set up. All I am seeing is: it went downhill because that is not how I wanted it.
It is very possible that it will go down hill, but as of now I don't think it has. A lot of what yall are writing is what you THINK will happen. So I stand by my previous post
