Our Red String Chapter 2 (final) (Patreon)

PC 

Mac 

IMPORTANT: As I explained in another post, the game has been reworked from the ground up, so you will need to start a new game. If you use save files from chapter 1 you will experience game-breaking bugs. 

Also, in this final I solved some additional bugs and spelling mistakes (speacial thanks to v Berlichingen, Cabot and Breadloaf). I also changed something in Lena's song as Kurt Wagner suggested, thank you :) So replay that section or you can experience problem with the variables in Chapter 3!

So here it is, finally...!  This month's work has been incredibly intense and I've poured my soul into this! With the ongoing quarantine all I did was sit in front of the computer and work, no weekends or any of that nonsense! I feel spent right now, but I'm very proud with Chapter 2, and excited to begin working on Chapter 3 already...

With Breadloaf's help I finished reworking the sprite system, added a functioning gallery for the selfies the player will be sending and receiving through the game and added a more comprehensive calendar. I also added that budget menu to track the character's economy, it's not very useful so far but it will come in handy down the line. I also tweaked a couple things about the plot (you'll see some extra time had passed for the Van Dykes!).

We also have our first original soundtrack pieces! I've hired someone to compose music exclusive for ORS, something I'm super excited about. Good music can add a lot to the experience and bring the characters and themes to life. So far there's only 3 songs, one being the Main Theme for Our Red String (I can't believe it, my game has an official main theme) and the soundtrack will be a mix of stock music and OST tracks. I'd love to be able to commission a full OST for the game, but that's pretty expensive... If the game does well and with your help I'll invest more money into this.

For now, the money you're entrusting me with goes to commissioning new backgrounds (we have 16 plus variations already, and 4 more are being made for next month) and to colouring the drawings. I'm honestly so happy with how the game looks and feels...

About the writing, as I said, this Chapter 2 has as much content as GGGB v0.5 had in terms of writing. With around 17.500 lines of code only for the script and more than 80.000 words, it seems I've written in two months a story longer than the first Harry Potter book, and it's only Chapter 2...

As I said, this chapter is loaded with story, but you can also find the first 3 sex scenes. Pieces are still falling into place, things are being set up for the story to unwind... I have so many ideas I would want you guys to play right now, but it takes time to create them. I have to be patient with myself and I hope you can be too, but most importantly enjoy the game and the story!

As always, write down in the comments any bugs you might come across and let me know your thoughts and opinions, I really really value and enjoy reading them!
