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

[Blurpee69]

This is the first time we've ever had an x.x.5 update isn't it? We've rarely had x.x.4, but the precedent has existed.

I hope to see Jeremy × Holly × Lena in future updates !

Well, Eva already introduced the rent hike. Seymour is buying property, so the suggestion might be that his purchases are driving up land values in the city, which is the cause of increased rent, even if indirectly.

So I could see Lena moving depending on her relationship to Seymour, as opposed to Stan and Louise, though they of course could still be secondary causes.

If Lena is on the Seymour route, would it not be a sensible development that Seymour offer her a place to live? Similar to how Ash can have the option to move in with Jess in GGGB depending on her status.
Alternatively if Lena is not on the Seymour route he could force rent up to a point where Lena can no longer realistically live as centrally as Stan's apartment seems to be, forcing her to have to consider moving away.
If this was the structure then Lena moving out would be a matter of when rather than if. Of course on the Stan route it's possible she could stay in the current apartment if Stan's willing to pay the rent, he does have full time employment. Ash could choose to stay in her childhood home in GGGB too

So much branching becomes present when it comes to the option of moving out. Depending on the direction Eva takes, it will take some time to implemented it all in the storyline.

The possibility of Seymour's involvement in the increased rent hike is an angle i never paid enough attention to. But it all makes sense. It's another power play, and kinda unsettling when thinking deeper. So far he's made some moves that based on paths taken leave both Lena and Ian pretty vulnerable to his manipulation. I'm wondering how many of his business moves in the end turned out to be, more underline ways to get further access to Lena. Wait a minute was it stated, who offered to buy the Cafe from Molly and Ed? And with him buying property whose to say the place Lena resides isn't up for purchase?
Although I'm working off the theory of him being obsessed with her. And obsessed he is, gaining access to Lena's bank history and details is not normal, not to mention him manipulating others to prevent her from getting additional gigs.

I think that's one less variable than them moving into separate houses altogether.

It's not really practical if they aren't together as a couple.

Yeah, can't wait for him to cum within 1min!

 

[Mystogans_Wrath]

It sounds like the next update is just going to add couple bits to the current one, so it's likely to be on Ian's end of things, with game switching back to Lena at Billy's place in Ch.14.

Nooooo my Cindy

Yes, if you get to the edge of signing with Seymour and then deny him, he will admit to all of the underhanded things he's done, including putting the offer in at the cafe. (I've never not helped the cafe, so not sure what happens if you abandon them)

Updated my compressed Android port of Our Red String with JohnDupont's JDMOD to v13.3.4.

Got some basic gestures loaded in: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip. Save files are now stored in the Documents folder. This sometimes means that you may need to close and re-open the port after installing so the save folder is properly created.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the ports and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.

Yeesh....
Not too shock he voluntarily gave up that info. I basically ignore his route on my playthroughs so i wasnt aware of that little tidbit.
It's ironic, with all his money, status and experience in the end. His only means of getting Lena came down to her financial desperation. Apparently money failed with him developing character. I'm of the mindset that if you have to buy loyalty it isn't loyalty at all its just a pending agreement with a given expiration date.Hoping it's a possible option to use him for our benefit and then discard him, it would be fitting a uno reverse played.

Immediately thought of this.

His backstory is kinda interesting though. He started with a successful book, got rich from that book. Then founded publishing company, then expanded his business from there. As far as we know, he was schoolmates with the bum friend of Emma and he fucked him over somehow.

I think, the bum was the real author of the book Seymour claimed to wrote. Then, he kept going on the same path.

Can someone post the behind the scenes published today?

 

[neutral1]

Simplest way, and probably the only way, is to have Lena move to a nice house (based on stalkfap money?) in all paths. Have a new pool, a nice shower, etc. Then have scenes with her lovers (whichever route you are on) happen there.

Lena doing Stalkfap at all is entirely optional though.

 

[dolfe67]

There is a way of playing Lena poor as fuck: she refused Seymour, doesn't do stalkfap and sucks at music (won't make it big). She'll probably join Emma and the hobo in the squat (and maybe prostitute herself ). BTW what's Emma's job again?

Foam/bubble pool party would be an interesting idea for some sexy fun.

Ash in GGGB ends up with as a store clerk in a clothing store if she doesn't reach any of the extreme fail ends and doesn't keep any other job, I guess Eva could do something similar for Lena. You mention Emma, so I could perhaps see Lena working in the record store as a "sad" default.

(and maybe prostitute herself ).

I could almost see that happen, if it weren't for Eva's comments that she might explore prostitution through StalkFap, so Lena might need to explore that content and reap its rewards, so that route would potentially be more about living comfortably rather than just scraping by.

BTW what's Emma's job again?

Acting president at the phat ass association.
I also think she works in the aforementioned record store?

Emma works at the record store.
