Assorted and important news!
Added 2021-03-02 18:01:01 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
February just wrapped up and it has been a good month ORS! The community and the game keep growing, slowly but steadily, and I'm really happy to see that. Chapter 7 has been released and it's on it's final development cycle prior to the Final version. It seems you guys really liked it and it has set a record for me on many levels as a developer, and I can say I'm proud of how ORS is turning out.
So, what's next?
First of all, Chapter 7 Final, which will be released this next Saturday. I've already began development on Chapter 8, but there are a few other tasks I have been taking care of. All my time and focus has been put on developing ORS chapter after chapter, and I've been putting off some important stuff regarding the game and the business.
Thanks to Lara's help, we now have a running page on itch.io (finally!) for both ORS and GGGB. For now people can download the free demos there, and I might upload the full game for purchase down the line. Please drop by and leave some comments and ratings, if you feel inclined! That will surely help the community grow.
I'm also looking into publishing ORS on Steam, but it seems that's not exactly straight forward and I have to devote some time to that, too. Step by step. My Patreon page will always be my top priority.
I'm also working on a video trailer for the game, something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I hope it doesn't take me too much time, but it's not a priority, so I'll be working on it on and off while I develop Chapter 8.
And regarding Chapter 8, when will it be released? I've always worked within a monthly cycle for releases, but the amount of work needed to create a chapter of ORS to the level of quality I want has proven quite intense. My intention was to switch to bi-monthly releases, but making Chapter 7 has taken even longer than that. The only thing I can say right now is that new ORS chapter will be releases once they're ready, but my goal will always be to push a new chapter out every two months, if possible, and try my best to avoid reaching the three month's mark. So, in short, between two and three months. I hate taking this long (I'd like to pump a chapter each month, I have so many ideas and the best moment of the month is when you guys get to play it and I read your opinions and reviews), but I won't compromise my vision and the quality I want ORS to have, to create something you guys will love and I can be proud of.
And finally, I talked a few weeks ago about a change in currency and tier re-structuring. A while ago Patreon allowed creators to get paid in Euros instead of Dollars. Since I'm European and current politics are screwing up the rates, plus the currency exchange fee they demand from me, I've decided to finally switch to Euro. And I'll use this chance to re-structure the current tiers, since some of them still make references to GGGB benefits and I'm not happy with the value they offer right now. I've been postponing it as much as possible, especially with Christmas being on the way, but I feel now's the right time.
I'll make a detailed post about the new tier structure in the following days, but down't worry, your current benefits won't change.
So, once again, thank you so much for supporting me and I look forward to keep giving you stuff you can really enjoy!

I am going with Cindy. Sorry, guess my friendship with Wade is over.

2021-03-06 03:12:11 +0000 UTCI really hope in the end Ian would be able to get both Lena and Nora, yet slightly cuckolded by their temptations of Jeremy's BBC, which Ian will not be mind against allowing them to have sex with this black dude in front of him. My 2 cents

2021-03-04 12:10:57 +0000 UTCshould do the second chapter i like the old game too much

2021-03-03 19:29:54 +0000 UTCIt's a common theme on Japanese works. It's no wonder that, even in a route where you try to make Ian and Lena not show interest on each other, they keep meeting by coincidence or are linked to some events and characters. That's the red string of fate that links them together. It's no wonder that Ian is the only male character that Lola liked so far.

2021-03-03 15:28:17 +0000 UTCMaybe like in a fairy tale!? You are standing at the beginning of several roads, and they also intersect! The maze! But there is a ball of red thread in my hands! You throw it and hold the tip of the thread ! The tangle rolls forward plotting a route! And so on as many times as the author allows... The author is a girl, so she likes to talk more often than other authors! It turns out that Eva has many more creative ideas and home preparations for this project ! And it makes you look forward to continuing ! I wonder, if you print the texts on paper, how thick will the book be? Looking at her, I envy the "white" envy! Because I was sweating while I made up a tiny comment... But seriously about the visual perception of the game, the drawings and texts of Eva are charming and complement the quality of life with something that you want to support it !

2021-03-03 14:52:29 +0000 UTCI found this explanation: 'When you feel indescribably connected to someone, that you complete each other and make each other happy – you will know you have found your red string of fate or soulmate or red string of fate. You will also find that you love them for their flaws, and feel quite intensely for them.'

2021-03-03 08:34:32 +0000 UTCHonestly, I'm getting more and more curious about the title choice. At some point "Our Red String" will have it's meaning revealed, and I'm curious to see what that will be.

2021-03-03 00:03:57 +0000 UTCAs hard as it is for me to wait for new chapters... Please take your time and keep up the high quality. I love ors so far.

2021-03-02 23:03:38 +0000 UTCI activated that, but they removed it completely again in germany. For example BeingADIK or HouseParty are 2 quite popular games which aren´t available in my country. I get this message when I try to visit the shoppage which worked fine via VPN :/

2021-03-02 22:43:59 +0000 UTCYou have to enter the rabbit hole in steam to reach them, but they are there. As I remember, you have to unlock adult content in your options. Infact, there are some similar sexual, yet not similar good visual novels on steam, available in germany.

2021-03-02 22:36:44 +0000 UTCDid GGGB ever make it to steam? There are plenty of adult games there not nearly as good and much shorter with less paths.

2021-03-02 21:35:44 +0000 UTCIt's completed unless she decides to do additional content.

2021-03-02 21:34:44 +0000 UTCI really like GoodGirlGoneBad when will you continue the story?
Simo87
2021-03-02 21:27:47 +0000 UTCIn my country Steam doesn´t allow games like that (germany) so don´t worry about it too much. I can´t wait for chapter 8 so keep going and take all the time you need! :)

2021-03-02 20:27:44 +0000 UTCGood Idea with rearranging the tiers. Have you ever thought about making a high-res-version of your games? I do play on a 4k-monitor and I am sad that I have to enjoy your masterpiece at a lower resolution. As you said before in a GGGB-article, you paint in 4k and downsize it. So I hope you did keep the originals. You also could outsource this, there should be no art or developing involved, "simply" exchanging the pictures and scaling the GUI. I would pay some extra for the enhanced sharpness and your masterpieces deserves it, too :) . For an example, look at "Fashion Business", he offers the regular one for round about 5 bucks and the HD-Version (with extra content) for 20. It would hate to divide the game with extra content for the "rich", but 4k would be great. Also, thanks for the very interesting update. Me, too, would like an monthly update cycle, because after 3 months, I almost forgot the former development of (your rather complex) stories. But I see it is neccessary. Nevertheless, it is better to cope with it when you tell us why. Thanks for this :) .

2021-03-02 19:57:58 +0000 UTCI always thought that these kinds of games were written by boys. Ah, our Spanish cousins! ♥️♥️♥️

2021-03-02 19:51:10 +0000 UTCI didn't want to change things up for people during Christmas times. It's a hectic period and a lot of people struggle financially and stuff. It felt a bit disrespectful to disrupt the holidays for my patrons

2021-03-02 19:09:04 +0000 UTCSir, You deserve to go on Steam!
roby
2021-03-02 18:41:54 +0000 UTCI guess it means she was already planning those changes but then she had to deal with the Christmas holidays and right after she got her plate full with chapter 7 release. It was pretty straightforward to me.

2021-03-02 18:08:11 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say that episode 7 is your best work yet. Really looking forward to what the future will hold!
