Next outfit to be revealed

You voted for the Lust outfit to be revealed first, no surprise there! I have to say, however, it's not 100% new, but an improvement over an existing outfit Lena has wore in the past. It's still super hot, or so I think :P

You can take a look at the outfit in our Discord Channel, under the Sneak Peeks tab.

Give Lust Campus a try!

So I've heard you like female POV games, high-quality 2D graphics and redheads? 

A close friend of mine recently started her own erotic Visual Novel and teamed up with a triple A artist to create a really outstanding product you will surely love to play while you wait for Chapter 7 of Our Red String.

In Lust Campus you play as Alice, a young girl who's just arrived in the big city to try to make her father's dream come true, but the adventure...

Lena's new outfits and Happy new Year!

Hello everybody! First of all, I want to wish you a happy ending to this year and a good start with 2021.

On my last post I talked about Lena getting 4 new outfits in Chapter 7! Some of you wanted me to show them, but the majority didn't want them spoiled. Don't worry, I will only show them in the Sneak Peek section on our Discord Channel. As you can see, each one of these new ...

What do you want the next posts to be about?


As I'm pondering ideas to keep you posted on things related to the project you're supporting, I thought I'd question you on what kind of content do you want to see.

In my last progress update I told you about the new 4 clothing options Lena has gotten for the next chapter. Would you like to see these designs and have me tell some stu...

Chapter 7 weekly status report (3) and happy holidays!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Everyone is wishing a merry Christmas today, and even though I don't have any drawing of Lena sporting a sexy Santa outfit, I wanted to do the same. You, the people who support my game, are making possible for me to achieve my dreams and live off of my art, allowing me to afford my studio in which I spend hours obsessively working on my game. For that, I want to truly thank you, and I hope I make your support worth it with each new chapter.

Who's your favourite male NPC?

A few days ago we had a poll to see who your favourite female NPC was, and it's only fair that we have one about their male counterparts now.

The reasons behind your votes will probably be different in this case, but I'm interested to know: which character you find more interesting, considering his i...

Female NPC poll results

A while ago I made a poll to ask you guys who was your favourite female NPC in ORS. After 1666 votes (ominous number), here are the results! 

Cindy wins by landslide, with almost 500 votes, leaving everyone far, far behind! 

Only Holly is somewhat close to her, but they're still apart by 105 votes. 

The third place is for Ivy, but she's far behind Cindy and Holly on votes, with 233.

On creating ORS' illustrations

I've been thinking about sharing with you guys more of what goes on with the creation of ORS's illustrations.

I follow the same basic process I already used with GGGB, but with this new project I made several changes to up the quality of the final product. I did everything myself in GGGB, and I had to cut a lot of corners, as you could clearly see. Thankfully, I just managed to make the art good enough to sustain the gaming experience I wanted to create. There ...

Chapter 7 weekly status report (2)

Week two of development for Chapter Seven is wrapping up. I'm still on the first step of the pipeline, which is creating all of the drawings for the new update.

  • Last week I completed 5 scenes, and this week I have added 5 more. There's a total count of 10 scenes and 50 illustrations, plus a few variations and two animations.  I'm really happy with how the images are turning out and I think this is my best line-work to date. I'm producing drawings at a rate my...

GGGB characters in ORS!

So the cat's out of the box now! The thing I had been teasing before releasing Chapter 6 was the appearance of Jessica from GGGB in ORS, confirming the link between the two games. This is something many of you asked me if I would do, wanting to see the older cast make some sort of appearance in the new story.

This is something I had been considering from the get go myself. It's always fun to make an homage to what came before and you might've noticed that one of the the...

GGGB vs ORS: Cast

This is the final post I had planned in the series of articles about GGGB vs ORS. I've talked about many elements of what constitutes both games and my process on creating them, and last one is the cast of characters.

GGGB has a very large cast, so much so some of the characters had to fade on the background because I had no time or resources to keep them relevant in an ever more complex narrative. ORS isn’t exactly short on characters, but a lot more planning went in...

Chapter 7 weekly status report (1)

Hello! I've decided I will post weekly status reports on Chapter 7's progress.

I started work on this new chapter as soon as the Alpha for Chapter 6 was published. I've been making good progress on these tasks:

  • Basic plot outline and structure are established. These are alwyas subject to change while I work on them and sometimes I add some scenes that weren't planned or I'm forced to cut some due to time constraints or because they're replac...

GGGB vs ORS: Art

Visual Novels combine two main aspects, as the name implies: the writing and the visuals. Art has always been very important for me, and I don’t know what I am first: a writer or an artist. In any case, writing and gameplay has to be good and engaging to make the player invested in the game, and even though I think it’s the writing what will make the player stay, it’s the art that pulls you in in the first place. So the art has to be sexy to look at!

Lena's outfit collection

Outfit variety is something many people wanted me to improve from GGGB, where Ashley's clothes were determined by the path she was in during the game, with 4 main variations. In ORS I'm trying to give the player more control over the choices of clothing for both Lena and Ian, and also have more outfit variety depending on the scenarios: work, everyday life, going out and also some special outfits for sexy scenes.

I can't show all of them publicly due to...

Who's your favourite female NPC?

Our Red String is already six chapters deep and you've had time to get to know most of the cast to some degree. The stories and relationships between Ian, Lena and the non-playable characters have been evolving to various degrees, and this last chapter took some leaps with some of them, while others are being foreshadowed. 

So far, who's your favourite female chara...

GGGB vs ORS: Themes (2)

THEMES (2)

Continuing with the commentary on the theme of both games, I felt I could pinpoint a few of those particular themes that rose to my attention while I was working on GGGB. The nature of my first game didn’t allow me to explore those themes with the depth I would’ve liked, since I had to take care of a lot of possible branches, but I wanted to give myself that chance with ORS.

If you’re a bit perceptive you might already know what particular themes are those. In G...

Chapter 6 final sneak peek

Just a couple days left for Chapter 6 Alpha to be ready! 

This is the design of the new character that will appear in this new chapter. Her name is Agnes and even though she looks like she could be Seymour's wife, she's not, but she has to do with him... In which way? You'll soon know. I like how her sprite came out, she looks like a female version of Seymour, and it makes me wonder if I would've made Mr. Ward a Ms. right from the start...

Chapter 6 news update

Hello everybody! I finally finished working on all the art for Chapter 6! Chapter 6 will pack by far the most content I've ever put in one update, not only in script lines but on art assets.

 I've counted 80 brand new, full-color illustrations for this next chapter, and that's not even counting all the different variations for each one of those (that adds up to around 230 new images). I've put a lot of care into them and I think ORS looks better and better with eac...

ORS Chapter 6 news update

Hello everybody. As you know I've been working on the final stages of Chapter 6 these past week and I think I can finally announce a release date.

Yesterday I finished writing Lena's part of the update. I was afraid it wouldn't be as long as Ian's (around 6600 lines in the script) but it ended up being 10.000 lines, which makes Chapter 6 twice as long as Chapter 4, so should be safe to say this update will pack the most content thus far. Now the script ...

GGGB vs ORS: Structure

GGGB and ORS follow a very similar structure, but have a couple key differences.

One that’s plain to see is the fact that having only one playable character in GGGB forced me to make Ashley one of the participants in almost every sex scene. I also noticed having a female MC caused the majority of the NPCs to be guys, even though Ash could have a few lesbian relationships with her friends. Having Ian and Lena as playable characters doesn’t only mean I can have way more variet...
