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

[stuffygames]

I've got a question for the pros: While using URM and changing a variable to my liking, does the said variable get to be saved in the next update, or do I still need to monitor the changes?

And a follow up one: Lets say I don't wanna keep using the mod on the same save file that DID used it on - the changes still gonna be intact?

Changes you make with URM are saved in the save, I don't think the variables will be much affected in updates, the flags might be.

Same answer, you can remove it changes remain in the save.

Be careful with changing lots of variables, this game seems hard to break, but changing a lot of things might break stuff down the road. I'd keep a save where you haven't done modifications to be safe.

I even had two threesomes with sisters.

Phew. I thought that read as "I had two threesomes with my sisters"

Gotcha, tnx.

For the funny dialog! How many high fives and you are the man's are you willing to witness before it's boring, it's refreshing to see Ian/Jeremy at eath others throats a little, same with Lena/Ivy.

that is also why i'm a bit disappointed that lena has little to no love romances. cheating on someone is always done to ian. you can't really cheat on robert, you can't really cheat on mike, as his trope is to cheat on his girlfriend. in GGGB you could cheat on eric, dave and eva. if you were really devious you could even cheat on jack.
actually don't know if you can cheat on holly, but somehow don't feel that it would be fitting anyway.

though i'm still waiting on a fallout between axel and seymour. that's basically my only motivation to play either route.

Technically, Lena can still be with Seymour while being committed to Holly maybe that will explored in future content.

I don't deny you point is interesting.

Yet, real life is - slightly - more on my side: you do realize that the average couple willing to spice things up by inviting a third partner do, in majority, make a point of picking a total stranger that they will never come across ever again, right ?

Don't get me wrong, I am familiar with the threesome with the BFF or the best buddy, I even had two threesomes with sisters.

But this is NOT the majority of occurences, especially with MFMs. When you suggest one to your girlfriend and that she is open to it, most of the time she INSISTS that the third partner must be a total stranger that you will never meet again ever ever.

i think that's more of a thing for established couples. meaning those who are together so long that they know almost everything about each other and invite another because it's new and refreshing.

in college or late teens this is more of a thing of experimenting, which is also the time mostly straight girls fool around with each other. there it's more common to have a "best" friend join in on a rather recent relationship. i think that's because the committment to the relationship isn't as serious, so jealousy isn't that much of a factor. at least to good friends. one could argue that then the relationship partner is the "stranger" and the friend is an "established friend".
just my 2 cents.

I think it's possible for Lena to eventually get together with Mike. Seymour is already seen as a "sugar daddy" kind of guy, looking for a hot and smart trophy wife. Think about it: why would Mike and Seymour have love points, and many opportunities to raise them if it didn't mean that it would have an impact in the future? Beyond just sexy times.

I think it's important to note that Ian has his own version of those things too. Cindy and Minerva for example.

 

[varpep]

Cindy and Miranda for example

Who da fuck is Miranda and do she be pullin dat wagon or not?

No, most of the romance paths are mutually exclusive, you'll have to pick at some point.

Tbh the harem tag should be probably removed, not sure if the game currently meets even the f95 definition of it (MC with 3+ simultaneous romance partners)

You can have a relationship with Lena and cheat with Cindy, Louise and Minerva. And if you go the casual route with Lena, you can break up with her for a relationship with Cindy and at the same time you can have a relationship with Cherry, Minerva, Emma, Louise, Slut Holly and probably bad Jess too. The romantic part of some of those relationships might be up to debate, but at the very least you have Cindy, Cherry, Emma and Louise.

Although, I think that for the harem tag knowledge and acceptance of the other partners among your lovers should be a requisite. And in this case only Emma knows about Cherry (I think).

Yes, exactly that. Widespread cheating with ROs being unaware they aren't the only one isn't really a harem, it's just cheating. Similar for multiple hookups with characters who aren't in exclusive relationship with MC but just fucking around as much as MC does.

This is basically a harem game. The MC isn’t special at all—he’s just an ordinary guy, even working as an intern. He doesn’t have a big dick like Jeremy, he isn’t handsome like Axel, and his family isn’t wealthy like Perry’s. He’s not even better than dumb Robert. Yet somehow, with just a few flirty lines, he can easily get the other characters into bed.

Ian is neither a psychopath nor a creep, and doesn't have any apparent drawbacks in terms of both looks and personality. That is already above the average and it's hardly surprising women are willing to give him a chance, given the alternatives.

This is much like outrunning a bear -- you don't have to be the world's top sprinter; you just need to run faster than the other guy.

Do you think he’s moving way too fast? I mean, I only texted Louise twice, just threw in a couple of compliments, and the very next day I was already banging her like a cheap whore.

 

[Canto Forte]

While Jeremy does literally nothing and Axel blackmails them like Seymour and Robert and all the other ”Jocks” you seem to put plot armor in front of to justify them getting anything. Jeremy starts as a serial chater everybody knows who he is while his GF refuses to believe it, Lena and Ivy and everyone in thet bar/club of his knows, yet the plot armor still gets him girls, Axel is a SA like Seymour, yet they still get stuff plot armored theri way - so yeah, the guy painstakingly doing the rounds while the plot armored scriprted tropes get stuff despoite never overcoming any of their own flaws that are stated at the beginning to be their undoing, somehow makes Ian, the only charcater with a moral, professional and physical development arc outta everyone, sure he is your victim to pile on your critics. Just be blind to the harems or Jeremy, Axel and Seymour, because sure, they start off with massive following and somehow are gifted in some ungodly ways, in your mind, because plot armor throws girls their way.

Ian keeps going out with her and the gang for a number of days, if you are talking about some of the going out girls, while the roommate of Lena gets the scoop from her and also finds Ian in the middle of being the hot item, while Jeremy has his story and lack of any personal development catch up to him, whether you choose to see this or ignore it, while your ”studs” literally have plot armor and girls jumping on them as a story prop to pile on their tropes.

That's on Louise, not Ian. The girl who thought Jeremy was her boyfriend and expected Lena to give her all the attention as soon as they hooked up. It's just how she rolls.

Louise reaches out to Ian if he was nice to her in their earlier interactions, something she seemingly doesn't experience from people all that much.

He only needs to go through a few challenges with each girl, and with some of them he can even just trade a few things to get them. Everything comes to him way too easily. It’s like in his past life he cut off Hitler’s dick to end World War II.

 

[Canto Forte]

You are literally cutting off the whole shit show of Jeremy beating him up and humilliating him for months, Lena being humilliated and thown out on her ass for months by everybody, but sure, keep fantasizing about your bullies whom you adorn just like authoritarian nobodies using power, the IRL plot armor, to corrurpt everything.

It’s like in his past life he cut off Hitler’s dick to end World War II.

Lena and Ian can become tools just like Axel and Jeremy, if you wish to turn them into inanimate fucking objects, that is not how you evolve or overcome their charcater flaws, yet you can and might have done it to indulge your theory of never becoming anything better.

It is not said explicitly anywhere but Ian's family is at least well off with both his parents having good jobs and being career focused. Perry's dad is the mayor but is also an allegedly honest one, so in my headcannon both families are probably around the same tier money-wise. The filthy rich rival is clearly Seymour.

Also Robert is a waiter, Jeremy an ever lower waiter, Mike a DJ and Wade and Perry are unemployed, Ian went to college. The only guy with a better job/career prospect status is Axel.

 

[Canto Forte]

Part of the plot armor of Axel, he is the go to male porn actor for Seymour, so he is basically, for Seymour, somewhat of a Brad Pit or a Leonardo de Caprio, who are drooling to work with rich and famous directors, while Seymour is literally the filthiest Harvey film proudcer that Axel has in his life. Axel was a social media sensation and Lena becomes another one in Seymour collection, if she wishes it or gives into the blackmail of either Axel or Seymour.

Is this your first AVN or something?? Why wouldn't the MC be able to get with his LIs if you choose the right options...That's kinda the whole point of the genre.
