PilotLara sorry, but one more small bug:
Python:
# crisis
    elif ian_lena_crisis and ian_lena_crisis != "ignore":
        $ flena = "serious"
        l "Well, well... if it isn't Mr. Big Mouth."
//...
The game doesn't seem to take into account here that Lena who has slept with Axel or otherwise got herself reported by Jeremy may have ended up forming trinity with Ian and Holly (ian_lena_crisis remains set to True in this scenario) and the text variants which follow in the
Python:
        if v13_jeremy_fight:
            $ fjeremy = "serious"
//...
        else:
            $ fjeremy = "n"
... don't have Lena talking about trinity, but instead, because she passes the last check (ian_lena_dating) she ends up claiming:

1759012055162.png

... which doesn't match the actual situation by quite a bit. :whistle:

edit: also
Python:
        "{image=icon_love.webp}Send a selfie to Ian" if ian_lena_couple or ian_lena_dating or holly_trinity > 1:
//...
            l_p "It's really not bad here, to be honest {image=emoji_glasses.webp}"
            i_p "No, I can see that... Not bad at all. And you're looking especially good {image=emoji_wink.webp}"
            l_p "Vacation agrees with me."
            i_p "I thought you were there for work!"
            l_p "Yeah, I figure at some point they'll actually have us work, but in the meantime..."
Ian doesn't seem to be aware or remember that Lena can potentially have Seymour contract going and she's basically only there to hang out with Ivy. (and for that matter, neither does Lena)I hope this isn't a sign the poor guy's memory is already going at this young age, 50+ years of Alzheimer's would be a bitch to put up with. ._.

edit2:
Python:
                if v14_anthony_massage > 1:
                    if v14_talk_anthony > 4:
                        if ian_lena_pure:
                            an "Listen, I know this might be a bit bold, but I'd really love to shoot with you sometime."
The last check here is a mismatch from the massage scene. It should be checking for lena_pure instead:
Python:
            if lena_pure:
//...
                jump v14massageproperend
As it is, in some scenarios like with trinity ongoing Anthony will later act as if he and Lena have agreed on the photo shoot, instead of making a late offer about it.

edit3:
Python:
                                menu:
                                    "{image=icon_will.webp}Tease Mike" if lena_will > 0:
                                        $ renpy.block_rollback()
                                        # stop music
                                        call willdown from _call_willdown_121
                                        jump v14miketease
//...
                menu:
                    "{image=icon_will.webp}Tease Mike" if lena_will > 0:
                        $ renpy.block_rollback()
                        # stop music
                        call willdown from _call_willdown_122
                        jump v14miketease
These two options jump in middle of actual tease scene, after Lena makes her pitch. As a result, in these variants Mike is acting as if Lena made him an offer when she didn't actually say anything.

Quick question and a desperate plea to the hardcore fans out there: :p How the heck do i keep Cindy and Wade together?! Or is that just a pipe dream? I ve tried every path under the sun, and no matter what, Cindy always dumps Wade and ends up in some sleazy "adventure" with that creep Axel (YES, he IS a creep). :LOL: Is there a secret sauce to this? A magic choice i m missing? Maybe...i am, just dumb. :cry: If there s a way, please spill the beans.....what do i need to pick? Huge thanks in advance for saving my sanity. :LOL:

Currently impossible. Player choices can only affect the manner of their breakup.

Wade and Cindy always break up. You can influence who does it and what their mindset is and who Cindy's banging or not banging.

It's not possible, they always break up. Buuuut they can do it on amicable terms if Ian supports them. While Cindy always works with Axel, she can be wary and less enthusiastic about him. She can also be worried about Wade and ask Ian how he is doing. So maybe they reconcile in the future.

A million thanks to you legends! I ve finally got some peace of mind....my soul s no longer in shambles. :LOL: That mess was driving me up the wall, replaying the game like a maniac stuck in a time loop. What a doofus I was for not asking sooner! :FacePalm:Y all are lifesavers, seriously. Thank you! :giggle:

Blurpee69 I like you. If you'd drop the Alison agenda we'd make a great team. :BootyTime:

I admit that she can be annoying, but besides the trinity, she's historically been my favorite LI for Ian. Probably because her love path was the most established outside of Lena and Holly. Cindy's is also of interest now, as her path seems to be the "experimental" path. As in, she seems to be warming up to the idea of cum and anal play and is also a more enthusiastic partner now than she was with Wade or early in Ian's relationship with her. AKA she's willing to open with a blowjob for him rather than make it a transactional exchange. Just a shame it comes at the cost of burning Wade, because I actually really like Wade and root for him to be awesome again.


Although, if Cherry ever gets more content? God help you all, I will become as insufferable as SerHawkes will be if Ivy and Ian finally get their fuck on.

Also when Jess and Ian finally hook up on Jess' redemption path, but I know that isn't a main path for Ian, so I'm happy with whatever we get there. It gives me the warm fuzzies :giggle:.

Balls to the wall my guy :BootyTime:
Honestly... I still am waiting for my OTP. And I will still hold out on it, avoiding shit like the plague, all because EK truly is the most brain dead retard in terms of storytelling and management to date. I'm 5 years, going into 6 waiting for this to happen. And when it does happen I can go to Spain, find EK, and yell at the top of my lungs: TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH YOU BITCH!

Naturally, this update and it's shitshow drama is the most uninspired shit I have seen to date. It's lazy as fuck and pretty much shows anyone with a brain that EK is looking down the barrell of this and will be trying to put an end to this game sooner than later. 20 Chapters? Yeah, I'm not seeing it, specially with a update like this, where all it is is just drama, fetish paths pandered, and Ivy being a petty gremlin. Plus, yet again, we have MORE CHARACTERS who again MESH WELL ALREADY AND SOME HINTS THAT THINGS COULD HAPPEN WITH THEM, despite EK saying oh so long ago that that cast already had too many characters and wasn't planning to add more paths. Well, we all know thats been a fucking lie.

Like honestly, at the point, EK is just lying out of her ass trying to salvage her own shitshow of decision and storymaking by grasping at straws and it's going to keep going down hit the more EK lies to her masses and keeps theses bullshit 'HYPE' about each and every update she pulls out of her ass. PilotLara, please tell EK to manage her time better and write out her remaining chapters on paper before she keeps going halfcocked with theses updates. Also tell her Hawkes is still disappoint that her so called claims that Ian and Ivy happening have yet to happen in the 5+ years of her lies. Thanks.

Now, as for Ivy, I'm not half suprised EK is making her out to be this overly petty bitch who has to have her way or else she does bullshit things. EK really isn't trying to hide it now and is going to continue to try and make her out to be the most unlikeable character to date, all because she herself is so skilled issued on incorperating a character like Ivy into the game now, let alone have Ian and her be a actual thing. Still, she's better than Louise, Alison, and Cherry by miles so there is that.

SerHawkes I'm still like 88% confident that the initial plan for Ivy was never get involved outside of Lena's sphere. She only opened up to the idea, relatively, recently under pressure from her Patrons. And your screeching. So I'm not sure that EK has been lying in this case.

Anyone feel free to prove me wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's correct.

I also had the impression that Ivy was a Lena only character for long. However, Ian and Jeremy were interested in her from the get go, which contradicts it. There were also three flirt opportunities with her and Ian present before chapter 10, long before the rework.

A better example is Louise, since she never interacted with Ian ever until chapter 10, which was the setup for the very rushed texting-flirting-fucking route in chapter 12 and 13.

Considering Ivy kissed Ian on the cheek before the bar rework, only for that to have reworked to the two of them flirting, to the third rework of which nothing happens...

Ian and Ivy were going to something of a thing. EK herself, I wanna say around year 2-3 of her bogus FAQs mentioned that the two were on the backburner. Meaning, they were going to happen at some point but not then. It's only in the most recent of times that were are seeing something of a possiblity.

I remember there was one patreon Q&A one time where to the question of "will Ian/Ivy happen" Eva went something along the lines of "yes of course, why wouldn't they?" giving the impression that she's always intended for the pairing to happen eventually at least.

Can't say if that was just something she said, I can't recall which Q&A it was either, it's been a while since she held any.

For me, Ian's updates are better than Lena's because his parts in the chapters have better and more interesting romantic options than Lena's. Since Lena doesn't have that Eva could balance it out by creating interesting sexual scenarios and corrupting Lena/making Lena slutty, but ORS is lighter than GGGB, so Lena's scenes are "plain" compared to Ashley's.

Actually, Lena should have love interests and Ian corruption choices. I'm actually grateful to Eva for making Lena realistic by writing her as a girl in her 20s who have sexual experience and not being a virgin to be "corrupted".
