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

[CoalPhelps]

Wasn't Arthur perving/lusting on his own son's girlfriend? That by itself is a RED flag. Ashley can accept his advances/rebuffs him but to say how he's not a villain... He's a Western type of an ugly bastard.

Of course, that's why I divided the villainous characters and the villains. By this I mean the narrative role of the character. Arthur is an absolutely villainous character, he does a lot of nasty things, but other players will never even see this if they are not interested in this character at all. On the other hand, even without knowing about Seymour's plans for Lena, the player will still be affected by his influence and will be forced to overcome it one way or another. Therefore, even those who have not seen his villainous side in its entirety (because something initially repelled them about him) will still consider him a villain.

 

[CoalPhelps]

I'll end the discussion.

Arthur deserved a bullet, as does Geymour, Jeremy, Axel, Perry, Wade, Stan, Robert... Mike is chill, sorta.

I don't know, Mike is a serial cheater, so that's a bullet. Mark, on the other hand, is a fuckboy, but he doesn't hurt anyone, so he gets a pass.

Mike only really cheats if we allow it though. Sure, we could entirely whip out all the males in the game save for Ian and pretty much making him the breeding stud of the group of gals. BUT unfortunately that would upset the shrimpy cuckolds and EK can't have that. Oh no.

He's getting it on with Ivy regardless (envious, aren't you?) of his relationship with Lena.

In the past, yet no mentions of present.

 

[Da¥e]

Pretty sure it’s the middle of the night in Spain right now, so if it’s dropping today, it'sprobably still 10+ hours or more away. That said, I wouldn’t place place any chips on it happening today.

Normally before an update the bug reports on the discord get worked on, but they haven't been touched, so...

 

[CoalPhelps]

Sure, you are right that there are potential consequences yet to be revealed at least. This is an incomplete game after all.

That is where I argue on the balancing point, that Eva wants to let the player get their preferred experience, which is why I don't fear Seymour's impact in the end. That is merely an impression I have though, and speculation of my own based on it. I personally feel somewhat doubtful that the consequences will feel at all dire in the end, but of course we won't know for a while yet.

And I suppose some of the potential consequences could be subjective. You bring up how Ian might be impacted which is true enough, I just happen to not really be invested in his outcome. I will favor my preferred choice with Lena over any potential impact to Ian's side of the route, so I imagine people who feel more invested with Ian might tread more carefully than I.

Yes, you're probably right. Some subplots, such as the revelation of Charles' character or political machinations, only arise if you have a contract with Seymour. It somewhat defies the logic of having such behind-the-scenes games and their participants, but oh well, it's not the first novel in which choice-based, catering to tastes and preferences, and plot-driven principles conflict with each other.

 

[What'sNew]

Did Eva ever mention if the upcoming update is Lena pov only or will we get a bit of Ian's too?

Im leaning towards Lena only since thats how the past few updates have been.

 

[mommysboiii]

I understand but the Cindy path is only just opening up and has the potential to be one of the most interesting romances in the game. I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

First 2 days of Lena's trip. There are total 3 days FYI.

Just a quick status update:
My goal was (and still is) to have the chapter ready this week, but I’m going to need a few more days to finish the remaining scenes. Writing, testing, and working on the visuals has been my sole focus, and it's frustrating that progress still feels slower than I’d like, but the truth is, this stuff takes a hell of a lot of time.

The scenes in this chapter are not only layered, they’re also tightly interconnected, with some even overlapping. That makes them really tedious to flesh out and tricky to structure together within the narrative arc.

On top of that, I’ve insisted on adding new 3, 4, and even 5-frame animations and cosmetic tweaks, which makes generating the images a real drag (but hopefully worth it in the end).

Right now I’m working on the final two scenes, and also waiting on the last batch of art from my colorist so I can add the final polish. I’ll be testing things in parallel so I can put out something solid and playable ASAP.

The plan is to make the last two scenes combinable, but to pull that off, I need both the artwork and time to write. I’d rather not release the alpha without that last bit, but I’m also racing to get everything ready this week as promised (plus, it’s my birthday this weekend and I’d really like to celebrate a little!).

If I haven’t been very active on socials lately, it’s because I’ve been pouring all my time and energy into finishing this chapter, and now I’m getting back to it. I’ll share an update right before launch, which I’m hoping will be very soon (if not by the end of this week, then the next).

Oh, by the way: which color do you think better fits Ivy's bikini?

Well......I think we all knew it was going to get delayed a bit.

haha right? i was saying that not to complain about the update(i have like 30 diferent saves with diferent routes to play ) but just to make fun of Lena, in game all the scene you get is in the pov from the MC or videos, if Lena is there and not fuck anyone in a comit path how will we see the content. nothing at all ? or is Lena gonna spy on everyone.

 

[Brazilian Engrish]

Eva's is screwd. She needs to hire or find people to help her with the writing and coding. Take Seed of Chaos for example. He dont do all the process of creation alone. Last month he was looking for people because he lost some writers.

So this is what took Eva so long. Deciding Ivy's bikini color. Ngl I'd be distracted too.

And it's complete shit.

Happy birthday Eva. It seems She's a Virgo like I am. The update would make a great birthday present for me though.
