So, I said there was a big reveal coming, and I also said I was putting the money you entrusted me with to good use!
I'm really proud and happy to show you how the sprites will actually look like in game: this time they will be fully colored, giving ORS characters a level of polish and detail that was impossible in GGGB. When I started my first project I had zero means and I had to do everything myself, but now I can invest in my project to give y...

I've been showing the characters for Our Red String these past few days, and now the whole main cast is revealed. There are more characters than the ones you can see here, but these are the most important ones.
One of the big reveals was that this time around there won't be just one playable character, but two: Lena and Ian (girl 3 and guy E). The game will alternate between the two, and you'll experience the story, make choices and affect other characters from both the...

Hey guys, this time for real lol!
Our Red String will have two playable characters: Ian and Lena. It's funny how both of them were left the last ones to be revealed, couldn't have timed it better :) Sorry, you'll have to wait until the next game to have a house cat as the MC... I guess this is not as unexpected!
GGGB has Ashley as the female lead and you guys loved it. Of course I was going to use a female MC for this next game... But there were o...

EDIT: guys, this was obviously a joke! I don't know how many of you got it but I'm really surprised with the reactions LOL! I'm glad to see you guys are interested in this idea, maybe I could use it for a new game or a spinoff! Now I'm almost regretting not having used this idea... Sorry to disappoint you, ha ha ha!
As I said I wanted to try something new and different from GGGB. In ORS you'll play as Lola, a house cat! You'll be able to see and influen...

Another last minute upset! The character to be revealed is Stan, an awkward nerd who loves geek stuff and videogames... And ladies! How will he fare in this story?
Just two major characters are left to be revealed, but before that, tomorrow I will reveal the playable MC of Our Red String! And it's probably not what you're expecting!
Stay tuned!

What a last minute upset! The underdog finishes strong and number 6 beats 3 in the last poll. So I give you Ivy, a smoking hot young girl with a lot to offer... both good and bad. How do you like her? Next time number 3 will be revealed and that will make all of the main female characters!

Hi guys! How are you doing in these weird days?
I wasn't going to talk about the COVID-19 situation since everybody's already doing it (and I'm just locked away in my home working on ORS anyways) but one of the people that's helping me with the game brought this to my attention.
He refused any compensation for his work, but now he's asked me if I could use my reach to bring attention to "Folding@home". Since it's such a charitable and nobl...

The male character revealed today is Wade. He's a good looking guy so he's never had too much trouble getting girls, but it seems that could've made him too complacent...
And this is another secondary character, a guy you'll meet on the first chapter and who you don't need to too know much about... jus...

Damn, this time there was a tie between 3 and 7 at 40% of the votes! I flipped a coin and the character to be revealed this time is Emma! She's a bit of an alternative girl, not as slender or fancy as the other ones, and the crush of a certain someone...

Today's winner was good ol' Seymour. I'd could tell you some things about him but I think the drawing speaks for himself. What kind of guy do you think he is?
And today's special secondary character is Wen. Strange choice of clothing, what could it mean?

This time the poll was really close, but number 1 finally ran away with it! Her name is Alison and she's a tall, intelligent and beautiful girl with her goals and priorities in life sorted out. But there's always space for doubt...
Who will be the next guy to be revealed?

The mysterious man with the man-bun is no other than Perry, a goofy fellow I hope you all will appreciate as you get to know him :)
The bonus side character revealed is Minerva, and you can guess from her expression is not overly friendly. Will you antagonise her even more?

I thought GGGB was missing a goth girl, so I decided to create Louise! As such, she can be a bit moody and dramatic, but can also be a very good friend. You'll have to get to know her!
What guy you want to be revealed next?

This time the poll was close, but in the end the winner was Jeremy! He's a cool and outgoing dude and has his priorities straight. And those priorities normally involve the ladies!

The poll was very close between A and C, but you finally voted for C! His name is Axel and despite his good looks, his attitude may not be as pretty... You'll have to wait a bit to discover what role he will play in the game.
It's the ladies turn again, so vote for the next one that should be revealed!

I'm going to start revealing the silhouettes of the characters I've been posting before during these next days. Each day a poll will be made where you guys can vote for the character you want to be revealed. There are 14 main characters and 7 secondary characters shown so far, and one of this second group will be revealed every 2 days.
Be quick and let me know which character yo want to see first!

GGGB used a very simple stats system: you had Good and Bad points to keep track of how your decisions affected Ashley's progression. Later I added Money and Fame as an afterthought.
With ORS, I want to create a more complex and interactive system. Good and Bad points are gone: your "karma" will be affected by your story choices, being purely narrative. But I wanted to give the player the ability to track their progress in several ways, and one of those ...

GGGB had a ton of characters and it seems like ORS will have quite a bunch of them, too. I love populating the life of the protagonist with interesting people that provide a lot of options for players to explore.
But keeping with the more focused approach I'm aiming for, I want those characters to have weight, not just for the options they provide, but in the way they affect the story and how they relate emotionally to the main character. I want to make their life's mor...

So, I said ORS would be similar to GGGB. Itwill take place in a similar scenario and will have as it's core choice mechanics, branching story-lines and character depth and evolution.
So, in what aspects will it differ? Aside from a main one, central aspect of the new concept, which I can't talk about yet, one of the new things will be it's improved production values. As I said before, I hired a couple artists to work with me. The ...

I guess you have many questions about what Our Red String will be like. And I guess you won't be surprised and happy to hear if I tell you it will be similar to Good Girl Gone Bad.
What I love about writing visual novels is the potential to give the player the power of affecting the outcome of the story and the evolution of it's characters. That was the main point I built my first game around, and it will be the same for the second. But with a new perspective.

Hi guys! I know I haven't been very active in these past few months, busy as I was giving GGGB a worthy ending and then working at the same time in the DLCs and pre-production of Our Red String.
These months have been bubbling with ideas as I defined what I wanted the new game to be: the looks, the gameplay mechanics and, most important, the story and it's characters. I still have a lot to figure out (that what makes it fun, it never ends!) but I had time to sit on some ideas and get so...

Hello guys!
As I'm working towards the release of Our Red String, hopefully at the end of next month, I wanted to stir things up a bit. I haven't been showing much because I didn't want to spoil anything yet.
During GGGB's run I did a couple fan-art contests. You can see the wonderful renditions people did in the image above! I absolutely love to see people's takes on my characters. Now that GGGB is finally over I wanted to make a final fan-art contest as a final ...

Hi guys!
Work on Our Red String is progressing quite nicely. I've been able to make a lot of improvements from GGGB, but there are still a couple details I can't figure out myself. I'm searching for someone with profound coding knowledge related to the Ren´py engine that can help me with a few UI elements I can't figure out how to implement.
If you think you can help and want to do so, please write me a private message! :)
P.D.: Soon I'll be able to show some sneak pe...

I've finished all the art for Jasmin's DLC and now I'm writing the scenes. These weeks are being quite hectic, lots of changes in my work and life in general, so v1.2 will take a bit longer than usual as I said. But I think you'll like the new scenes with Jasmin!

Hi guys! I'm preparing the Jasmin DLC so many people have been asking for while working on "Our Red String"! This one will have several scenes added to the main storyline and also an ending. It will take a bit longer to finish and I don't expect it to be ready at the end of this month, but I'll try to release it as soon as I can! I think you'll like it :)
