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

You sure they a "she"?

100% sure? No, I've never seen a picture of the creator, and even if someone showed me such a picture I would have no way to know if it really was them or some random bod from the internet. I'm pretty Eva refers to herself as she however. I don't particularly see any reason for them to lie about it, but who knows, maybe they do?

I'm ngl I won't trust a dude to create fetish content/porn and not make it comically over-the-top and unrealistic.

If a dude made ORS, knowing there's a cuck/voyeur/femdom path, Ian would be wearing a wig and makeup by now. Dudes are either repulsed by any given fetish and will exclude it from their games completely or fully into it and just run it to the ground.

There's plenty of games on this website that disprove this theory though?

 

[Saerwen]

I don't know why it's important whether Eva is a man or woman. There're plenty of games that have male protagonist like this which are made by male Devs and FMC ones. I will say that even though ORS could be made by a woman, it's leaning toward straight male players, though female players are liking it too. GGGB is pure male gaze. Also, another reason why I think Eva is a woman it's because there'are barely games made by a male Devs where a FMC can have romance without corruption.

100$ says Eva's real name is Stevan and he's a neckbeard creating this game from his parents basement and Stan is actually his self insert.

If that's the case, then Louise's writing makes more sense. Doesn't make her less unlikeable but still.

The twist: it's Louise that is self-insert. That's why Lena doesn't get any decent boyfriends, because she's modeled after the author's hated friend/rival and EK has her revenge making her suffer Roberts and the like.

I ain't played every game on the site and not planning to. This is my own experience playing AVNs: whenever a game introduces heavy fetishes that involve sexualized inadequacy (cuckolding, cheating, etc.), it tends to be exaggerated to a stupid degree. It feels more like someone writing out their own fantasy so the emphasis is far more on the end result; the scenario that got sexualized. Kinda like how you'd watch a porno and just skip to your favorite position.

For example, ORS is pretty much the first game I play that approaches being cheated on as a paraphilia. It tackles the root causes for it: how lustful memories get mixed in with the pain from betrayal, how self-esteem gets broken little by little through replaying a humiliating scene in your head and how said scenario becomes arousing as a coping mechanism.

The Ian/Gillian dynamic is really well done in that aspect while Lena/Axel tackles topics like manipulation/abuse just as well without ever using the low-hanging fruit of corruption.

But hey, if you got some recommendations, I'm all ears. I just finished Sally Face so I'm out of games to chew on rn.

I will say that even though ORS could be made by a woman, it's leaning toward straight male players

I mean... Target audience is almost always male regardless of who developed it since guys play more games, consume/buy more porn and ultimately more porn games.

Honestly, on this topic, the thing that I appreciate about Eva's writing is how they write attraction. I think way, way too many people just do "and now she's into getting dicked by X". Which, like fair, but I think at the same time it's genuinely interesting see how Eva writes characters justifying their attraction towards people that they know are not good for them.

I initially bought the idea that EK was a woman, because GGGB was definitely not written by a male American. However I changed my mind when I learnt EK is Catalan Spanish. GGGB and ORS are written like a female American but as a male Spanish would write. There is a bit of Pedro Almodovar in ORS. Perry is a recurring character in his movies, and Lena has something of Penelope Cruz's characters in his movies. I am still not sure yet, but if I was pushed to bet, my money would be on EK being a male with sissy, cuckold and BBC fetishes.

imaging a route where mike is in a relationship with gillian

-and ian gets beaten by mike

-lena can gets mike to break up with gillian

-gillian is growling back to ian and says how much she miss him

-ian thinks he can fix gillian falls all in love again and gillian act all sweet and innocent

-gillian instantly cheats on the next best opportunity (girls night out) she has

We need a Gillian route

 

[Meiri]

We need a Gillian route

There probably is gonna be one, you can already get a few points from her.

 

[Stilbruch]

There probably is gonna be one, you can already get a few points from her.

Most definitely I'd say.
At the very least a revenge pump and dump route. Probably more.

 

[Lolicon Kami]

We need a Gillian route

And a natalie route Cuck her bf

 

[IlikebeingaDIK]

How exactly do you cuck a swinger?

 

[BlandChili]

How exactly do you cuck a swinger?

The same way you cuck anyone, by fucking their partner without their knowledge to consent?

It's actually shown in GGGB directly that Ash can run into Nat's bf out looking for her while she's getting it on with someone else.

 

[Flojerazul20]

We need a Gillian route

We need Iah to fuck Gillian really hard, and her ass too.

Yeah I have noticed that writing interactions between straight males don't seem to come naturally to this author, which would make sense if the author was a woman but could also indicate a gay/fem male. There's often a subtle gay subtext to the conversations between the straight men.

 

[SearingFive]

Yo what?

That means people who might be introverted or lack social skills with men, makes them a gay/fem male?

 

[Saerwen]

Ah, like the famous Top Gun that's full of subtle homoeroticism.

You can't say shit like this and not provide any example of "subtle gay subtex".
