September Q&A
Added 2023-09-10 10:50:35 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
as promised, here's a new Q&A session so you can ask whatever might intrigue you about ORS and any related stuff. I won't give away any spoilers, but I'll try to answer to the best of my ability your to questions and comments.
You can also check out the last Q&A, which had a lot of great questions! I'll check your comments from time to time and reply to a few of them each day as I finish Chapter 11's epilogue, so check this post from time to time to see the updated answers.
So, once again, thank you for supporting the project,involving yourself in the community and enjoying the game! Ask away!

2025-10-30 13:11:29 +0000 UTCHi Eva, amazing VN, my question is simple and perhaps has already been answered, is it going to be possible to delve deeper into the relationship between Ian being dominant over Lena?

2023-10-29 00:42:19 +0000 UTCHi Eva, I'm new here. I've got to say, this is the best best game I have played so far, NO DOUBT! Amazing drawing and fascinating story lines. Can't wait for the new update!

2023-09-28 11:20:47 +0000 UTCI'd like to see some POVs from Jeremy and his sidekick, Penis. Maybe a Laurel & Hardy sort of dynamic. "Well, it's a fine mess you've gotten us into this time". Penis just snickers, grunts and makes Scooby Doo sounds.

2023-09-18 02:48:48 +0000 UTChow long do you plan this game to be are we at the 66% mark or 80% mark or......

2023-09-17 20:14:00 +0000 UTCHi again, I wanted to say that I love both of your games, and one of the most dear features is that those are simply very amazing inking art.. For that I am simply in awe and very much great full that you are creating it. Another thing is that the story is complex and hits the lifes of probably any person in the similarities to once own eventual personal experiences. Now to the future trends: It would be nice if it would be possible to see the development of the cuckold netorarse line Like building an active involvement in sharing of a gf or even wife and probably being remaining happy at that as the partner would make it gladly and shares the experiences or let' the other take part. Some more mmfmm scenes and development of Jessie/Lena line like doing porn together is as well something I would very much fancy too.

2023-09-16 09:32:25 +0000 UTCHello dear Eva, - In concern to Philosophie intrests -these usually make a person either more withstanding against the temptations of live in case of stoic trend or make a person more weaker or more interested in notiness of live in case of interests for mistical aspects (like more drug consume or attempting to more manipulate others.) This can be an interesting development trend with much renpy- able choisies... Don't you think?
satyr0909
2023-09-16 09:23:41 +0000 UTCIt blew my mind in GGGB when I realized those things could happen. I played through several times, trying to imagine the possibilities of what I could make happen if I changed decisions here or there. Even if it's a slim chance, having that kind of *potential* is intriguing.

Eva Kiss
2023-09-15 16:16:24 +0000 UTCHey, are there any updates on the walkthrough. Since the person making it has gone radio silent on Patreon?
DIVINER SUNSET
2023-09-15 15:38:55 +0000 UTCHi Eva! First, I'm new here so I'd like to congratulate you on an amazing job with GGGB and especially ORS! I really like the storyline and characters in ORS, a real improvement from GGGB. I have no doubt it will be regarded as one of the best AVN games ever when finished. That being said, I wonder how long do you intend to work on this project and how are you coping with it creatively? I'm also a writer of sorts in my spare time and I couldn't imagine myself investing so many years into a single work. You mentioned previously your current goal is around 16 chapters for ORS so that would probably take several more years to complete. Are you working on other projects beside this one? Don't get me wrong, I don't wish to pry, I'm just curious at how are you managing to spend so much time on a single project with all the ideas and possibilities that are probably on your mind all this time.
foxloversi
2023-09-15 13:17:29 +0000 UTCPlease don't use AI at this level in its current level of technology. There's another creator that I saw using it, and the project is just... BAD...! There's something special about your personal touch and the hand drawn art.
LuckyTwentyOne
2023-09-15 03:50:02 +0000 UTCMore random lore questions from me, as this Q&A is still open :) 1) What kind of music did Ian's band play? Did they play a lot of gigs? 2) Was Gillian Ian's first partner, or did he have some luck in high school? Related, was Lena popular in high school? Sounds like Ivy wasn't. 3) Is Cindy from the same place that Ian and his friends are from? I know she's younger and didn't meet them until later. 4) I noticed Lena has several pictures of Billy Idol and one of Leonard Cohen in her old room, was she a fan of 1980s punk-ish glam rock and lyrical songwriting when she was younger? 5) Lena studied philology in college. Was she genuinely interested in it, or was she just trying to get away from her family?
Reaurt
2023-09-14 23:31:38 +0000 UTCAlright, I'll be looking forward to seeing that unfold then. Another question, if you do follow ups, I asked this the last time too but I can't help but prod a bit at it still; any chance of Lena/Cindy content? ;)
Ethereal Twist
2023-09-14 22:34:17 +0000 UTCHolly is probably the most complex character to write because she's in the middle of a lot of threads, she's affected by Ian and Lena's plotlines deeply, and he canbe interconnected with both. In Lena's plotline, she can also play into Ivy's hands, remain neutral or have a distant relationship, and she also has many male NPC options Lena and Ivy can push her towards. You've given me something to think about and I'll try to take that development into consideration.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-14 16:59:36 +0000 UTCI don't want to spoil too much, so I will only say my plan is for it to include quite a big amount of scenes and some interesting story progression
Eva Kiss
2023-09-14 16:56:42 +0000 UTCI'd like to add more cosmetics, but I'm pacing myself so I don't add too much too soon (dealing with 3 tattoos, 3 piercings, necklaces, earrings and outfits is already quite time consuming!)
Eva Kiss
2023-09-14 16:55:18 +0000 UTCIt is! Ivy has the most numbers (they could already have a sexy scene together in chapter 7)
Eva Kiss
2023-09-14 16:54:26 +0000 UTCIf I can allocate the tme and resources, I'd like to add the fourth video! But right now other scenes have priority...
Eva Kiss
2023-09-14 16:53:01 +0000 UTCWill the 4th video of Jessica's porn videos be accessible in the future? You asked about our wishes some time ago. :)
Storm
2023-09-14 14:55:50 +0000 UTCA question about some specific choices that I am curious if they are intentional. If you go for Holly with Lena but also encourage her to have sex with Mark, in the latest chapter Lena and Holly's scenes and dialogue still imply a deepening of their relationship. This changes if Lena has involved Ivy with Holly at any point though. I personally would find it interesting if Lena and Holly could be in a romantic relationship but still pursue casual sex with others, so is this intended? In GGGB Ashley and Eva's relationship automatically end if you steer too far towards the BBC gangbang content, so I would be pleased to see a real fulfilment of that sort of kink with Lena and Holly, while they're still being cute with each other.
Ethereal Twist
2023-09-14 12:07:36 +0000 UTCOk, another question about the beach house. How big is this event going to be? I expected it would be large and offer many scenes with several different characters besides several scenes for each possible combination of Ian, Lena and Holly. So it would span a whole update or partially over two updates. But with only Ian, Lena and Holly there it would be limited to just this 3 characters. So it has to be rather short, at most half an update so they can meet other characters back at home.
Johnathan F. Krapsinski
2023-09-14 08:48:00 +0000 UTCHey Eva. We've already seen Jeremy with Alison, Emma, Lena and Louise with Ivy probably eventually happening? I won't ask for specifics but is there any chance we see him in a sex scene with someone else from the female cast?
Karlo Kačinari
2023-09-13 21:08:29 +0000 UTCPOV from Holly would be amazing! Even just a short scene from key moments in story could add a ton, pov from Ivy or Cindy would be great too.
Rubicon
2023-09-13 21:01:43 +0000 UTCYes please, I like Jessica a lot
Azrael
2023-09-13 19:09:03 +0000 UTCYou're doing quite well. I keep coming back for more.
Bogus One
2023-09-13 18:22:12 +0000 UTCLooking forward to it!
VHO
2023-09-13 17:10:55 +0000 UTCNot in the same way Ashley's parents could be involved in the plot.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 17:10:01 +0000 UTCGGGB is a way more outlandish and silly game than ORS, but I've been ramping up the spiciness of the content and I plan to keep doing so. I just want to build up to certain scenarios in a way that doesn't feel too tacky or forced, maintaining a somewhat grounded and coherent narrative.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 17:09:09 +0000 UTCI've been planning something for Jessica for quite some time (the scene where Ian checks out her videos was fun to do), but can't say about the other two
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 17:07:24 +0000 UTCDefinetely
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 17:06:29 +0000 UTCORS endings will play out in a very similar manner, or at least that's how I envision it right now.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 17:06:16 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if it's a direct consequence of working on ORS, but yes, I have ideas and inspirations for other projects, some closer to what GGGB and ORS are like, and others that differ a bit, or a lot. I'm not sure if I'll have more and different ideas when ORS is done, but right now I have like 3 or 4 that I would seriously consider taking on when the times comes. It'll be hard picking one...
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 17:05:31 +0000 UTCIvy's character is mainly part of Lena's storyline, but she'll play a part in Ian's story down the line too.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 17:03:09 +0000 UTCHi, would there be any possibility that Lena be getting more cosmetic additions such as implants, more tattoo and piercings?
Tar
2023-09-13 17:02:15 +0000 UTC1)I used Natasha as a cameo, since I needed a female that would fill the role of editorial supervisor, but I'm not sure I'll have the time or space to give her dedicated content beyond social interactions. 2)I've already decided on the cast that will participate in the beach house event, and despite being able to imagine possibilities for all of them, I had to limit it to a few. Hopefully they provide the most interesting interactions! 3)It's probably an oversight, I cam eup with the ring thing during chapter 11 development and added it retroactively. 4)Mass effect 2 was an overall more enjoyable experience, and I've replayed it several times. I only played Mass Effect 1 once, but the dread and wonder the Reapers make you feel in the first one (that Sovereign conversation!), the introuction to the world and the epicness of the plot are unrivaled. 5)Steam has a policy that doesn't allow you to sell the game for less than the price you charge on their platform anywhere else, and that comes into conflic with Patreon's subscription model. I don't want to, but I'll have to copy what other developers are doing, having a "base game" and releasing new chapters as add-ons 6)Currently I'm using VSC, in the past I used Atom and before that a more rudimentary one I can't even remember the name of.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 12:01:45 +0000 UTCJessica was about 20-21 years old in GGGB, so ORS takes place about 4 or 5 years after that. Baluart is based in a mix of Barcelona and Salamanca; it takes inspiration from the first city in size and vibe, and from the second in the fact that the major asset the city has it's its University. So Baluart is a small city without a powerful industry, but provides a lot of cultural value and many students from around the country move here to study and sometimes stay to work, making Baluart a small but active city with people from all around.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 11:51:12 +0000 UTCThe decision to make them mutually exclusive was arbitrary, but I did to limit the amount of interconnecting paths. When writing for Ian, I have to take into account all the possible relationships that intertwine and interact, and it's getting really complex. So I decided to keep Cindy and Holly paths seprate, so it's easier for me to keep track of all the possible interactions. Holly is one of the most complex plotlines (she can be with Ian or Lena, have different levels of emotional implication with both, and also be influenced by Ivy) and with each of Ian's relationships I have to account for all the other girls (Lena, Cindy, Alison, Emma and Cherry, plus now Gillian). So I decided to keep Cindy and Holly's path exclusive in hopes of making the tangle easier to manage.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 11:46:24 +0000 UTCI have several ideas for post-game content, but first i need to finish the main game and then we'll see. But I'd like to implement scenes from other POVs than Lena and Ian...
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 11:41:46 +0000 UTCNo plans for that since plotlines and cast are already stretched out to the extent I can manage. It would be cool to add more options for those who like it, but since m+m is not my specialty, I'll let other developers tackle that erotic genre. Same goes for trasgender characters, Jasmin was created following the design of an early patron, and she ended being quite popular, but the current cultural climate makes people really sensitive about these kind of characters. There's a kind of audience that's eager to feel offended if their portrayal isn't done in a particular way. So, since my intention isn't tackling these subjects with the depth and nuance they require (I have enough as it is with all the other themes and characters) I've opted to stay away from those for the time being and avoid rustling any feathers.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 11:40:45 +0000 UTCI have ideas but not plans. Some minor characters might have development that happens off-screen (like Perry and Cherry) but I'll try to add scenes if the plot and story allow for it
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 11:33:49 +0000 UTCI can imagine those, but it's the same problem as having beard and tattoo options for Ian: just too many cosmetic variables that take a ton of time to implement on top of the already existing ones.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 11:32:27 +0000 UTCI try to take into account what players want, but the story always takes precedence. Ideally I'd be able to develop all possible character pairings, but time and resources force me to focus on the ones I find most important. Holly and Cindy were always meant to be popular, so I'm not surprised they are community favorites, but there are other chapters and plotlines that deserve my attention too, and others I'd like to develop but that will have to wait, or be cut altogether. In the end, I try to balance my own vision out taking into account people's opinions, but not submitting to them.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 11:31:27 +0000 UTCI'd say the more laborious part (for sure the hardest) is writing, planning the scenes and character interactions, accounting for all the possible paths and variations and making the scenes interactive. The art has also been taking longer to produce, even though I'm outsourcing some of the process, figuring out the scenes, deciding on which illustrations to make and then coloring them so the final result is of the quality I want, plus adding all the cosmetic options (outfits, tattoos, jewelry, etc) is quite time consuming too.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-13 11:27:54 +0000 UTCThat would be nice too but I would rather have Lena as his wife at the end of the game
Azrael
2023-09-12 22:14:03 +0000 UTCAppreciate the answer Eva, I hope it materialises, but I understand if it doesn't based on how much is going on already. Hope you figure it out 🙌
Jimmy
2023-09-12 21:56:18 +0000 UTCHello, Eva. Will the parents play a more significant role in the game like it happened in GGGB?
Mr.x
2023-09-12 20:44:18 +0000 UTCJep. Baby Endings. and maybe Poly
ZeroOne
2023-09-12 19:47:30 +0000 UTCI like the way Stan's character has been redirected in the revision of the game and the complicity with Lena but, honestly, I wouldn't like to see them in a sexual scene. He "falls in love" with her because she's the first woman who pays attention to him (and she's gorgeous!). But I think it would be more interesting for Stan to have a relationship with another character and for Lena to be his accomplice or even mentor, someone who helps him overcome his insecurities.
Lascivo
2023-09-12 18:40:19 +0000 UTCI love everything about this answer. Mass Effect and Dragon Age are my absolute favorite games
Azrael
2023-09-12 18:14:48 +0000 UTCIf it's too complicated it's no use, you already have enough to do, but Lena with more color would be very pretty. Thanks for your answer :)
Azrael
2023-09-12 18:08:28 +0000 UTCI hope you do, I was really looking forward to an Ed plot and was always a bit disappointed that it never materialized.
Christian Akacro
2023-09-12 17:21:35 +0000 UTCGreat answer. Thanks for your detailed response. Now I have to go find Katie's Corruption!
Christian Akacro
2023-09-12 17:20:02 +0000 UTCMy first inspiration were "choose your own adventure" books, but I only got my hands on a few when I was a kid. Later I discovered videogames and role playing systems that let you explore a fluid narrative. Strangely enough, I never played many VNs before (or after) creating my first game. The game that made me realize it was possible for me to make one too was "Katie's corruption", which inspired me to take on a female led VN with a simple karma system. Related to this, Mass Effect inspired me a lot with the Renegade-Paragon system, and also Dragon Age Origins, with it's nuanced narrative options and character relationships. I find it interesting how in those two games, romancing or antagonizing characters felt much more engaging than saving the world, and made me want to play games where the interpersonal relationships between the cast were the main focus. GGGB was more of a sandbox that used porn topes to give the player wildly different consequences to their actions, accentuating the cause-effect element I found lacking in most games. With ORS I wanted to take inspiration from the real world and real stories (as well as some tropes) to make the characters feel more grounded and relatable, and the emotional payoff more rewarding.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-12 17:10:19 +0000 UTCSome time ago I made some experiments with tan layers for some characters sprites, but didn't manage to make it look right... I might try again! But implementing new cosmetic options is always a pain, so I force myself to limit those.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-12 17:02:19 +0000 UTC1) I don't have a clear and defined end goal for the game, I know the direction I want to take main plotlines and what possible endings are they leading to. I can't say exactly how many chapter it will take to complete the game, but my goal is to finish the buildup and climax of all the sotrylines and start to work towards tying them together and moving to the ending. It will be a tough task, and recently I'm estimating around 16 chapters instead of the initial 20, but that remains to be seen. 2)Yes, I have several ideas that excite me, and I would really like to develop one of these, but first I need to finish this project! Once that happens, I'll talk to you guys about what ideas I have and decide which direction to take. 3)Related to my second answer and your third question, ultimately I always take the direction I feel I want to take. Of course I try giving patrons what they want, and I make room for some suggestions, but in the end I need to follow my vision if I'm gonna keep myself motivated and interested in the project. That's why, even if it's risky or I know some people are gonna be disappointed, the next project will be one that makes me feel passionate. Choosing a double protagonist approach with ORS was quite risky, but I didn't want to make another GGGB that didn't offer me new creative possibilities, and the same will be true for my next game, when the time comes.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-12 17:01:00 +0000 UTCI've experimented a bit with the technology. The main implementation I was going for was backgrounds; I tried to replicate the game's artstyle and a couple of the actual backgrounds in the game are made this way. However, the results are not up to the standard of quality I'm aiming for. It would be nice to be able to generate scenarios like this, though, since each one takes quite a lot of time and money to be produced. Having the ability to create them using IA would mean I could write as many scenarios for the game as I wanted, since right now I'm limited to the graphical assets I have.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-12 16:52:30 +0000 UTCRecently played through GGGB for the first time with couple of playthroughs. Would be wonderful if Lena and others girls can get to the level of gangbanging like Ashley did in the final chapters.
Bogus One

2023-09-12 10:42:56 +0000 UTCHey Eva. I really love the longer epilogues from GGGB. Are you planing to do that again ?
ZeroOne
2023-09-11 22:51:36 +0000 UTCHey Eva. Is it possible to see shorthaired Girls in the future. Maybe the next game, or do you don't like that? Is there one think, or more you like to do in the next game. Maybe to make it possible to create the MC(s) like with 3 Skin colors, 3 haircuts and 3 haircolors. Maybe AI can help with that task in the future

2023-09-11 22:26:58 +0000 UTCHas creating ORS given you any inspiration for further projects that you don't feel necessarily fits ORS? If not, any general thoughts for the future after ORS? Taking a break?
Robert Dixon
2023-09-11 21:39:47 +0000 UTCAny chance we get to see Ivy in some scene with men, especially Ian?
Nathan Enkay
2023-09-11 18:05:41 +0000 UTCYes, thank you, I'm really looking forward to more games from you
Azrael
2023-09-11 17:57:04 +0000 UTCThis isn't a harem game. So no, he can't get with all of the girls in a single playthrough.
Ken J
2023-09-11 17:50:39 +0000 UTC1) Marcel, with whom we barely spoke a few words, was in the poplarity contests but not Natasha. Don't tell me she has been Ed-ed out. 2) The trip to Perry's beach house is near so I was wondering who else might come along. Obvious choices would be Emma and Jeremy, but there is someone else Perry might invite, he is quite friendly with Cherry after all. Wouldn't that be a Perry thing to do? And wouldn't that be interesting .... (and a newl use for the fight system). Just wink if I'm right! 3) I have a question about Gillian. In chapter 3 Ian talks about the silver ring she is wearing on her left middle finger that he gave her. She isn't wearing that ring on the 'last picture ever of them' he was looking at earlier. But she is wearing that ring again when they meet in chapter 11. Is any of this a mistake (her not wearing it on the last photo, or her wearing it now) or is all that on purpose? 4) What did you like better, Mass Effect 1 or Mass Effect 2? 5) In your previous post you wrote that putting the game on Steam would lead to changes. What do we have to expect? 6) What editor do you use when you are working on the code?
Johnathan F. Krapsinski
2023-09-11 17:03:12 +0000 UTCsome background work to speed up the process so that the important bits such as character interaction can be focused on with greater detail and still be released in a timely manner, sounds like good use for AI
Jimmy
2023-09-11 15:31:24 +0000 UTCShe answered the impregnation question previously as someone else asked and she said yes it's a possibility (given that there is some scenes with unprotected sex)

Azrael
2023-09-11 14:52:20 +0000 UTCIs impregnation possible in the future? Also is there a possibility for harem ending?
Nick Whittington
2023-09-11 14:44:47 +0000 UTCI have, but the two main issues I have are that I can't seem to find the right profile to delegate (I've tried several artists, but I'm not 100% happy with anyone yet), and the time and effrot it takes to find and test possible candidates, and also the fact that delegating and coordinating several tasks and people takes away my focus and energy from creative tasks, having to focus on managing quite a lot (which I dislike and I'm pretty bad at). I consider myself a creative individual and that's where I like to put my focus, but I keep trying to find ways to make ORS' production bigger and faster.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-11 09:34:41 +0000 UTCThat's a question that I get often in the Q&A, but it's difficult to pick a single specific character or plot line. The thing that I like about writing branching narratives is the variety of paths and developments characters and plot lines can have, and it's fun to be able to write the same character in different ways, what he or she would or could be like depending on the choices and circumstances. I also like what Ian and Lena offer me in terms of writing style, and I enjoy different character arcs for different reasons: Ian and Cindy's plot has a totally different vibe than Lena and Seymour's story, for example, and each one is appealing for different reasons. That said, there are characters and story archs that I enjoy more than others, or that feel easier to write.

2023-09-11 09:30:07 +0000 UTCWhen ORS is finished, I'll work on a new project. I already have several cool ideas that could turn into interesting games, but I need to finish ORS before I can start seriously considering what's next. However, I know it will be a project of my own.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-11 09:23:07 +0000 UTCI wanted to introduce cosmetic options for Ian too, aside from the different outfits, but each one of those adds quite a lot of time when creating al the individual images. At this point, Ian's cosmetic changes are more focused on body type (he can become more athletic), but I'd like to add different beard options for him...
Eva Kiss
2023-09-11 09:21:17 +0000 UTCYes to both
Eva Kiss
2023-09-11 09:19:20 +0000 UTCLove the game! Two questions: (1) How many years have passed since the end of GGGB and the start of ORS? 5 years? Jessica is older, but I don't remember how old she was in GGGB. (2) How big is Baluart? It is written like it is a small town, with not a lot of people living there, with people having to visit a bigger city. What are the major industries in Baluart? Just curious about the background lore. Hoping for some Nat scenes, she was my favorite in GGGB! :)

2023-09-10 22:50:06 +0000 UTCEd/Lena is more attractive than Stan/Lena.

2023-09-10 21:39:59 +0000 UTCYou can always do multiple playthroughs. That's one of the things that makes Eva's game better than others. I've done 4 or 5 different playthroughs already
Jono Say
2023-09-10 21:38:04 +0000 UTCYes that would be nice
Azrael
2023-09-10 19:18:27 +0000 UTCAre the Holly path and the Cindy path supposed to be mutually exclusive? It feels a bit random that the Cindy romance disappears when Ian goes on vacation with Holly. It also means Ian can't fuck all the girls.

2023-09-10 18:55:39 +0000 UTCYou’ve mentioned a couple of times how some plans for characters were cut so you could focus on the main story. What do you think of expansions/DLC when you’ve finished the main plot? You could add an update giving Ed some more scenes with Lena, fleshing out Louise, etc. To me it seems like a good way to keep the game alive while not delaying the main plot/ending
Kurt Wagner
2023-09-10 18:00:27 +0000 UTCYes, she did some time ago and results were promising.
Brother Bethor
2023-09-10 17:58:33 +0000 UTCThere is a possibility that she may have a child with Arthur on Bernard path, if she willingly drinks the wine.
Brother Bethor
2023-09-10 17:56:45 +0000 UTCI think it's already being used on the backgrounds, which is annoying enough but whatever. If this became a 'generative ai project' i'd have to stop supporting it.
bos
2023-09-10 17:44:36 +0000 UTCAre there any plans for male+male romance or transgender characters? Jasmin was a great addition to GGGB and it'd be great to have a little more LGBT diversity outside of Lena's lesbian experiences.
Chiz
2023-09-10 17:33:36 +0000 UTCAre there any planned scenes for existing characters that haven't had scenes yet? Characters like Ed, Wade, etc. who have the potential to be in scenes, but haven't had their chance with Lena/Ian yet? Personally I've always hoped for a Ed/Lena scene at some point - either in the future chapters, or reworked into an earlier chapter as Lena becomes more "free-spirited".
Chiz
2023-09-10 17:26:41 +0000 UTCI know, but it would be nice if it continued forever
Azrael
2023-09-10 16:52:54 +0000 UTCStan is one of the most interesting for me. I hope he and Lena have a good relationship at the end of the game
Azrael
2023-09-10 16:51:21 +0000 UTCORS definetely has endless possibilities for the story to keep going forever, but I want to finish the game at some point! The longer it goes on, the more convoluted the multiple intertwining paths become, and the longer it takes to develop and implement those plotlines and scenes. So, sadly, I need to put a limit somewhere and decide which of my ideas get made and which will remain unresolved :(
Eva Kiss
2023-09-10 16:34:08 +0000 UTCStan's plotline has been developing at a slower pace, and though he has some hot scenes with Lena already, there's still no full-on sex scene... I'm working towards that, but Stan isn't one of the main plotlines (even though the community seems to love him). In this lat chapter, however, the plot got closer to that happening, and also to the complicity between Lena and him that Rabit mentioned.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-10 16:31:22 +0000 UTCWhen ORS started, I played with the idea of having a Lena-Ed route, and their first interactions tease that possibility. However, as I continued to develop the game, I had to leave that route out of my plans due to other characters and plotlines taking precedence. I must say I still haven't discarded Ed's involvement in the plot in an erotic way, in fact, I have a couple ideas, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to implement in the end... I guess we'll have to wait and see!
Eva Kiss
2023-09-10 16:28:23 +0000 UTCHonestly, I couldn't say right now! It's been a few years since I finished GGGB, and I never replayed it after delivering the final update. I was already working on ORS while writing the final chapter of GGGB! But I believe there was something of that sort in the many possible endings... Maybe someone in the Discord community can give you a proper answer!
Eva Kiss
2023-09-10 16:25:46 +0000 UTCIt's hard to estimate a percentage, but I'd say we're at a point where all the main plotlines have been established and are developing to their climax and conclusion. Chapter 12 will feature some big scenes and plot points that have been in the back-burner since I came up with the game, and after that my plan is to try and tie all the plot lines and slowly bring the narrative to it's many possible conclusions.
Eva Kiss
2023-09-10 16:23:46 +0000 UTCEva...you have already played with new hair colors at Alison. Can you imagine different intimate hairstyles for ORS men and women?
Maverrick888
2023-09-10 15:53:47 +0000 UTCHow do you balance what the fans want versus what the story needs? For example, a lot of these polls have Cindy/Holly as clear favorites but it may not be the best just to put them in every single scene, and having some characters that people hate can show that contrast. Also can you say that Ivy/Ian hookup is in the next chapter? :P
Briz
2023-09-10 14:55:06 +0000 UTCHi Eva! Thanks for all your hard work on this amazing game. One question I am curious about is what is the greater bottleneck for development at this point? The story has become very complex narratively with multiple paths but the artwork quality has also gone up significantly. So I was curious what ends up taking more of your working hours, writing or art development? Has this changed from early chapters?

2023-09-10 14:17:48 +0000 UTCmore of Jessica would be nice too, I love her looks and her attitude
Azrael
2023-09-10 13:36:00 +0000 UTCplease don't
Azrael
2023-09-10 13:31:21 +0000 UTCyes, I would like that too, I like Stan and Seymour the most
Azrael
2023-09-10 13:29:41 +0000 UTCI'd love to hear about any games, books, or short stories that inspired you for GGGB or ORS!

2023-09-10 13:28:48 +0000 UTCMore tan for Lena would be nice :)
Azrael
2023-09-10 13:26:30 +0000 UTCI hope not
Christian Akacro
2023-09-10 13:25:47 +0000 UTCI actually have quite a few questions - hopefully they won't be too difficult. Like some other commenters have asked, I'm really curious about whether you have an end goal in mind. How many chapters do you think you're going to write? Relatedly, I'm interested in whether you already have ideas for what you might want to work on after ORS is finished and whether you may begin work on it before ORS is fully concluded? I'm also interested to know whether you've ever felt pressure to include something in your games because the audience was demanding it? How much do you let things like the popularity contests affect the direction of the story? And finally, how much more of Nat are we likely to see in ORS? She was my favourite character in GGGB. Thanks :)
Dorian Wainwright
2023-09-10 13:11:58 +0000 UTCHave you considered using AI to help speed the art process?
JJ Walker
2023-09-10 13:08:15 +0000 UTCMore than the sex scene, i would love a true complicity and story involving the two of them
Rabit
2023-09-10 12:30:35 +0000 UTCI just assumed it was for special cigarettes.
Yepthatguy
2023-09-10 11:51:21 +0000 UTCHave you considered additional ways to segment/break down the work to delegate more of it allowing for additional help to release more often?
PhaeDog74
2023-09-10 11:43:28 +0000 UTCThank you for this amazing game. I have two questions: Whose story arch do you enjoy the most from the writer‘s perspective? Do you have a favorite character in the ORS universe? Also, I noticed an ash tray on the table in the living room in Perry‘s and Ian‘s appartment, so I was wondering, who are the smokers among the characters?
Johnnyramone
2023-09-10 11:42:41 +0000 UTCOnce ORS is completed do you ever see yourself making another game or possibly helping another project like Lust Campus? I love your work and I know ORS is your baby we love it but am curious what direction you see your career going when all is said and done!
Nicholas Phillips
2023-09-10 11:31:42 +0000 UTCI have 2 questions 1. Will we be able to get tattoo's for Ian? 2. Will there be any trans caretakers like in GGGB?
DIVINER SUNSET
2023-09-10 11:17:38 +0000 UTCWill unprotected sex and possible pregnancies play a role in the next chapters? And will be there more threesome, whether FFM or MFF?
Maverrick888
2023-09-10 11:00:05 +0000 UTCI hope the game continues forever :)
Azrael
2023-09-10 11:00:00 +0000 UTCI’d love to see an Arthur scene with Iris, Ashley, and Natasha.
VHO
2023-09-10 10:59:27 +0000 UTCI love the game so much, thank you for giving us such a great game :)
Azrael
2023-09-10 10:59:11 +0000 UTCHow long does it take until Stan has his first sex scene with Lena?
Azrael
2023-09-10 10:57:41 +0000 UTCEver thought of making Ed a potential character to seduce with Lena? Since it seems suggestive at times with his peoplegram comments at least. (Not a question, but I also hope Ian's "good morning" to Louise turns into smth 😍)
Jimmy
2023-09-10 10:54:53 +0000 UTCNot ORS related but GGGB related. If you go with the Arthur ending even though it's not shown does he ever get Ashley or Iris pregnant in their relationships ?
Sovereign16
2023-09-10 10:53:57 +0000 UTCHello! Great game. If it’s not a spoiler, how far along in the story are we, roughly speaking?
