Good game but i have some questions
1.What is the best plot for Ian's Book
2.Can we get a threesome relationship with Ian, Cherry and Emma?
3.Can we get a threesome relationship with Ian, Lena and Holly?
4.Can we get a threesome relationship with Ian, Lena and Louise?

 

[dontcarewhateverno]

that would be hot as hell but only if she is in a relationship with ian(otherwise the corruption would be quite boring) I still dont understand this cheating restrictions with lena for example at the moment hope this dont continues

"President mommysboiii, we are at defcon 1. Your decision is grave and crucial, but there is precious little time. Shall we deploy the warheads or greenlight Operation Ghostlight. Sir, we have one shot."
'Hmm.... I think his wife should cuck him but only if he is a nice guy/nerd type and the other guys much better in bed -- i think the general has a big cock so that would be vry hot.'
"...I ..uh, sir, the time for psychological warfare has gone. We have precious few minutes to avoid a total nuclear annihilation."
'... a what?'

I can tell you Lena can avoid dick altogether if you want. Not sure on the Ian question.

These are several questions actually.
1. ' does making Ian a manwhore ruin the relationship between him and Lena' a) Technically, the answer is: we dont know that yet, as Lena hasnt found out at this stage of the game. b) There is a strong hint that if she finds out, it might well be Stan denouncing Ian in the near future c) If she does find out, she will most probably take it pretty bad, given the Axel-Cherry antics which are the ONE reason of her breaking up, PLUS when she accepts a serious relationship with ChadIan she DOES warn him their relationship implies him not sleeping around. So I suspect if she finds out about it her reaction is going to be quite somethin.
2. "is it mandatory for lena to date other people or is it possible to make her Ian exclusive" = absolutely. I have one save which I call good girl Lena and she has only sleppt with Ian up to now, girls included. Actually, you could even play the game and prevent Lena to have any sex at all (not sure I'd see the point thu)

thanks a lot

1.What is the best plot for Ian's Book

It depends on the genre you have chosen, but you can find several posts in this thread with the solution. Just use the search function and you should find the answer.

2.Can we get a threesome relationship with Ian, Cherry and Emma?
3.Can we get a threesome relationship with Ian, Lena and Holly?
4.Can we get a threesome relationship with Ian, Lena and Louise?

For all these questions the answer is "not yet", but the second one is confirmed as possible by Eva Kiss herself, and the last one is highly possible, given Ian and Lena are searching for a girl to experiment with (if you chose that option).

Talking about book genres, I still can't believe Eva gave fight 0 points for Sci-Fi.

The genre's icon is Warhammer, for Emperor's sake. Fighting is 24/7 there.

Not only are some choices arbitrary, a bunch of them aren't even mentioned at all.
It would be slick if other characters (Victor, Minerva, Seymour, Louise) give Ian hints if he's on good terms with them.

Well, you have a very wrong idea about Warhammer and Sci-Fi novels. Warhammer is first and foremost a fantasy wargame, then it came the futuristic version and then the novels, based of course on the wargame setting. So no, Warhammer isn't the icon of a Sci-Fi novel, at all.

In every Sci-Fi story I can think about, the fight isn't the main conflict of the book, if there's a fight at all. If you want an idea of what a Sci-Fi book is, do a search in internet or look at this example list:

I am still curiouse what the difference between this book points in the future will lead to maybe it is strategically and tactical smarter for my ian /cindy, ian/alison and ian/holly loser/nerd saves to go for a bad book??eva kiss games has so many decisionsso with the most points we will probably be a famouse book author but with a bad book we will be pizza ian or work in the office?? hope this leads to some interesting outcomes with a good and bad book especially with cindy and alison (holly is very loyal and seem to stay even behind a pizza ian ) but cindy on the other hand seems to want more from life so it would be interesting how she would handel pizza ian and mommy alsion could be interesting too hope it has consequences maybe work as alisons assistant in the future

Alison:get a water
Ian: YES MA'AM do you need anything else queen

Might as well spin it around: A bad book wins the contest and gets published, since Seymour, Minerva and Co. support trash art. A good book is still the necessary for the independant alternative path with Victor.

Seymour this mother fu... I am very curiouse about his role too and how angry Minerva will react if we have a good book?? and we are not in a affaire with her I am curiouse if Seymour will ever get in contact with alison or cindy and if axel has contact with alison in the future(because in early cheapter alison turns red after seeing him but why would alison be a model or go down the model career?????she is a sucessful women as far as I know)

"Seymour and Minerva support trash art" is skewing a picture quite a bit, unless you believe that Holly's books which Seymour and Minerva publish and support are trash, too.

When Seymour talks with Lena about her contract, he mentions making Ian the winner of book contest as one of things he could do for Lena. So the quality of the book might wind up as only one of factors in the end. Lena being on good terms with Seymour (or unwilling to cooperate with him) could play a significant role.

The current hint system for getting a perfect score is ill-conceived in general right now. It doesn't need to be made extremely easy. But it does need to be made fair. There are a few potential design concepts that could work. I don't think Eva needs to focus on this now as everyone who plays are essentially game testers through development & no-one wants another momentum-breaking slowdown at this point. But something she should definitely retcon at the end once all chapters are complete, before official release.

I can tell this game is going to have like 50+ endings...

Here is one ending I want:

Lena is a Dominatrix and has taken 0 dick for the entire game.
Lena / Holly full max loving relationship and Holly. Lena teaches Holly how to be a Domme.
They live with 3 subs. Louise, Stan, and Ian.
Holly goes fully Domme mode on all 3 of them. She is even more brutal and demanding than Lena and way more confident now.
Also another variation of this ending where Ivy is a part of the Dominatrix team and it is a lesbian trio. Louise finally gets to lick Ivy's feet.

Then we got Mr Ward in OUR debt as Lena because we somehow handed him Emma on a silver platter to be his anal slave for life. Ward would make sure we live in a nice mansion and all our money troubles are gone. Sort of handing her over to him like was done in GGGB with Arthur and his daughter.

I don't know about the other genres, but I chose Sci-Fi and I was able to get perfect score at first try, just by reading carefully Ian's and Holly's comments about the different choices. It was also luck, because I wasn't sure about every choice, but I would have gotten a high score anyway, so from my point of view as it is now it's not so bad.

Ch.11 Prologue explicitly denies this:

                if holly_guy > 1:
                    l "I've heard you and Mark have been getting along since that night at the club..."
                    h "Oh, that... Yes, well..."
                    l "Did you go all the way with him yet?"
                    h "No, not yet... But he wanted to go on a date this weekend..."
                    if holly_guy == 3:
                        l "Really? So nothing happened the night he brought you home?"
                        h "Well, um... Yeah..."
                        h "I gave him a... blowjob in his car."
                        l "So you can be naughty too!"
                        h "I don't normally drink that much, and... Well, it felt right, so I thought... Why not just go with the flow?"
                        l "That's how it's done. Just relax and I'm sure everything will go just fine."

That's only what Holly knows, and only from Holly's perspective. We have no idea what the interaction between Mark & Ivy was prior to that other than Mark agreeing to send Ivy a photo if he got lucky. It could have gone something like this.

Mark: "Hey Ivy, um.... can you set me up with one of the girls at your pole dancing class again? I really need to get laid."
Ivy: "Hah, what's in it for me. You know how this works boy! You want to get laid, but I want to get paid. Those are the rules!"
Mark: "Um... I am listening. What girls are on the menu? Is any one in particular that you think I might like?"
Ivy: "That's a good boy." Ivy pulls out a photo of Holly.
Mark: "Wow she is so pretty!"
Ivy: "Yea, and maybe I can help you out for the right price. She is not your typical whore you know. A night with her will cost you extra."
Mark: "She is not?"
Ivy: "No silly... She is good girl, but I have a lot of influence over her and can help her be your bad girl, but I want to see it."
Mark: "You want to watch us!?"
Ivy: "Well, I want you to send me a picture of her sucking your cock."
Mark: "But how!?"
Ivy: "Here is what we are going to do. I'll slip something special into her drink at my birthday party. She trusts me. Then I'll give her a slap on the ass and send her in your direction."
Mark: *Gets out wallet with raging hard on*

I think we have a misunderstanding here. I thought your "She may already have done so with Mark" meant "Holly may already have had sex with Mark", not Ivy fanfiction.

But i'd say there's no real reson to believe in the latter, as there's no indications for it whatsoever in the story so far, so suddenly springing it on the player out of the blue would be pretty weak.

I got all but one correct and I disagree. As this is built in more of a puzzle format, some of these arbitrary & subjective hints (when even provided) are poor game design IMO. Good game design would test logic over subjective opinion/experience, arbitrary preference or esoteric interests to make a fair puzzle for everyone. At least on any path where Ian is actively pursuing writing as his main career goal, regardless of his love interests (building both skill and "work on book" choices towards that pursuit). I also think our standards are pretty low in general here on game design, since we're playing unfinished games in a genre (porn) where 95%+ of releases are pure poop. But Eva's aiming for and achieving quality in other aspects of her games, so I think that should match here as well.

I don't think she needs to pause everything to fix that issue right now & delay any of the chapters. But if she's aiming for a well-designed, polished game, which it seems she is, those sort of fixes will be important at the end of development, before an official release.
