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

It blocks Lena/Holly. The throuple still can happen but people on that route say it makes no sense and seems like the dev messed up with a variable somewhere.

not a surpise since the 1st open relationship,wasn t a real open relation lol thank for the info,gonna need to check it by myself.

To clarify, having Ivy fuck Holly does block the throuple from happening. It's the other edge case (Holly fucking a guy) that causes issue, because then you get a combination of the trinity path and the path of "Ivy made Holly her pet" even though it's pretty obvious otherwise those two are intended to be mutually exclusive.

i don t mind sluttly holly,just the gloryhole scene bother me.I will check it,and play the fucking game to see where it lead.But i have no time try the +50 variable for each path lol

 

[Eleanorduval]

i know it not gonna happen but a ian/lena/cindy or ian/lena/alison can be funny i know i have weird idea sometimes

Just out of curiousity, for the 4 books Ian has to review, is the consensus block the 1st, promote 2-4? 2 is the tricky one, because it's crap, but it will sell.

I usually reject the 1st and 3rd. Then okay the 2nd and 4th.

You need to do exactly what Minerva does, 2 and 4 are cash cows and will reflect well on your next interaction with Nat, 3 is pretty complex and 1 is trash.

Ivy ruins everything in this fucking game
Fan favourite BTW!

My game has the Ian/Lena/Holly love throuple with slutty Holly issue. I wouldn't mind if Lena and Holly both were sluts, but it has to be through the Throuple, not around it.

I figured the 3rd was a harder sell, but it would also be a prestige book, as it could be an award winner. Plus, if it's that original the chances it'd be optioned for TV/Movies is quite high.

How do you know it'll reflect well with Nat? Some inside scoop?

 

[Eleanorduval]

hope eva are planing something for ian/nat or lena/nat or ian/lena/nat. We know nat are bi

That seems to be the optimal path right now but I wonder if rejecting the third book might have any repercusion with Victor as the author works for his magazine. It might make Victor see Ian as a sellout (which he is if he focus on career advancement) and he is a member of the jury for the book contest.

Why? I want my Lena and Holly to have their fun without Ian being required.

Those options receive the best feedback from her (and Clark) during the next chapter. Second best feedback is if you approve second and fourth without rejecting first and/or third. Worst feedback is any other option.

Nah no inside scoop. You get a dialogue variation with Nat, when she comes to visit Ian and Clark for the book reviews.

Exactly. The publisher can still reject it, but it isn't the author's first book. Sci-fi is a bit more rare these days, so a high quality one could dominate it's section of the market. And, as I said, get a movie or tv deal. I think it's got good reasons to go up there. Book 1 has no merit, 2 is popular but no critical heft, 3 is brilliant but less appeal, and 4 has both.

It seems like we could getting points for the magazine and points for Victor (if he can hear about it). And 2 happy recommendations with one they are borderline on is still a pass, in my book.

I am curious how many factors will go into the book contest. The book itself can hit 8 points, I believe. Seymour and Minerva can both put their thumbs on the scale (probably), and Victor might be able to recognise Ian's prose. I wonder if Emma's drug could have a secret + to it somehow?

You a beta tester?

How can you not reject a book? I thought it was binary, approve or reject all 4 books.

I may just be tired, but I'm not following what you're saying.

The decisions to reject or pass a book further is done on case by case basis. You make separate decision for each of them.

I think what they meant is that you approve 2&4 and also any combination of 1&3 then it's a middling outcome. But if you reject 2 and/or 4, then you messed up.

Gotcha. That's much clearer to my foggy brain.

Most of my playthroughs I default to an idealistic Ian, but I may need to go back and tweak a couple of his more amoral runs and sell-out harder! /s
