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

[Socrambus]

On all my playthroughs Lena stays away from Seymour because I hate controlling pricks like that. Do you think Seymour will try to mess with Ian's career knowing that Lena is his girlfriend and will that have any effect where Lena agrees to do stuff for Seymour?

I think it's one of the most obvious plot points. Besides Ian working for him, even if the writing contest is anonymous Seymour knows which one is Ian's and he's one of the judges as well as the owner of the publishing company. Maybe you can counter Seymour's influence and win the book contest anyway if you have the right relationship with Minerva and your book is good (there are three judges). But Ian would still be working at his company and Seymour would still be the publisher of the book, Seymour has strong blackmail leverage.

Maybe Ian will be forced to choose between corrupting his relationship (possibly also betraying Perry to get some shit on his dad for the mayor election) with Lena or sacrificing his career's success (maybe Victor's smaller company publishing his book if it's good). Or maybe there will be some kind of plot of Ian, Lena and possibly Emma to bring down Seymour somehow.

there are three judges)

Is this already known?

I theorized you can influence the judges, depending on how you dealed with Seymour, Minerva and Victor (read Hollys book, published his co-workers book).

I think so, maybe I just assumed, I'm not sure if it's explicity said that those are the only 3 members of the jury. I'm guessing that the quality of the book would also be a factor, maybe even the genre (historical easier to sell than sci-fi for example).

Yeah sorry,i forgot this thread is the Holly fan club thread,my bad

I don't really care about Holly (one of reasons my Ian didn't bother to go to book fair with her) so why would i waste my time and effort on making multiple people have sex with her. That's more like something a fan of the character would do

 

[Gicoo]

Hmm, if you ignore Louise when texting a second time, she throws a tantrum and its clear from both sides that this is over. The mistake is that a bit later Ian has the opportunity to send her the moon pic, both of them acting lovey dovey as if the ghosting/message spam didn't happened.

Damn, you're really a true Alison fan. You whine about the others nearly as much as she does.

 

[Pr0GamerJohnny]

Wait arent we all playing the geek slut route?
Only way to make that fucking Holly insteresting.

On the contrary, I've had the most fun and most interest in this game when I completely cut out all the slut/party/cheating/whore/bbc/blah blah blah all that other stuff characters and focused on full romance Ian+Holly or full romance Ian+Alison.

Seems Ian keeps it casual with Lena at the end of chapter 12 if he fucks Alison in chapter 11 and 12. He even had the three options of keep cheating/breaking up/commiting, but even chosing keep cheating didn't do it. It did work with Cindy, so its either a shame or a mistake.

Dont talk about the queen Alison like that

It's a bug where "keep cheating" isn't taken into account. Was mentioned a bit earlier in the thread, and it's apparently fixed in the current dev build.

Edit: that said, it doesn't sound quite right. Ian who didn't opt to cheat should be directed to "pure" path, unless there's some other factors in play you aren't mentioning:

# IAN LENA PURE 
    if ian_lena_couple and ian_lena_crisis == False and gillian_stop and ian_cindy_sex == False and ian_cheating != 2:
// ...

Anyone got saves for the Minerva path?

 

[noturiah]

Honestly, I like that this thread is full of people with strong opinions about Best Girl and different favorite paths. It speaks well of, even when we gripe, how good the game actually is. That said, I'm guilty as charged with my dues fully paid up for Holly's fan club. I'd be a member of Emma's fan club too.

 

[Insantien]

Is there any path where Ian gets to sleep with either of Ivy/Jessica yet?

Yes. You can sleep with Jessica. Or rather fuck her and sleep alone...

 

[SearingFive]

Only on bad Jess as of now, for Ivy it's a bit of sexy sexting, nothing more than that.
