Chapter 15.1 Status Report (10)
At last, I'm back in my studio, able to focus on finishing the chapter. I spend my mornings writing the script for the second part, which will be released later; my afternoons are dedicated to playtesting the new content, and in the evenings I work on editing the remaining artwork.
The playtesting has been challenging due to the many branching variations each scene contains, and by far the most time-consuming part has been checking and correcting the placement of the character sprites, as well as hunting down small inconsistencies in the dialogue. But that's nothing new. I hope to have the chapter fully assembled and ready for release sometime next week, after which I'll continue working on the second part so I can release it with as little delay as possible.
By the way, I don't think I've announced the title of this next chapter yet: it's called "Hard Knocks." What are you expecting?

Ian hard knocking ivy?
Hard Knocks sounds like a handful. Fight tournament, pregnancy, and/or more hardcore sex.
Thanks for the update of the progress. Next week will be perfect for my lazy summer days and a glass of rosé to enjoy. Hard Knocks? I assume that's referring to Ian's will be back in ring? Further development of Ian and Ivy path? As I am playing multiple paths I look forward to see more of everything. - 1) Lena-Holly, Ian-Cindy. - 2) Lena-Emma, Ian-Allison. - 3) Lena-Louise, Ian-Cherry - 4) Lena-Ivy/Holly, Ian-Minerva/Ivy. - 5) Lean-Ian-Holly path, that is my most prefer path and their closed polyamorous relationship. Good luck dear.
Wait...Lan and Ivy?
Can't wait! The game is amazing!
I wonder if Hard Knocks is a reference to pregnancy as in “knocked up.”
I wonder if this will have any dark twists or endings coming up. I remember playing GGGB and the dark twists towards the end shocked me but made the game for me.
Thanks Eva for putting the efforts, im expecting a stunning lesbian path for cindy and lena, either via ian/cindy/lena or cindy/lena at a point, cindy can be straight at this point, but would love to see those beauties have some fun.. also lena and cherry path, where lena forgive cherry when she get into more lewd level.. these two are im rooting for.. Thanks, you are the best
"A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No! I am the one who knocks!"
Hope we can get more FFMs this time around
Finally Ian's POV 🥳🥳🥳
I think there will be revealing of cheating. Like on Ian+Cindy it will be revealed to his friends, or on Minerva, her husband will find out, if we have multiple relationships, they will find out and things like that.
I’m excited 💕
Well, the title makes me think there could be more fighting, you know like a street brawl like Ian vs Robert, not exactly related to the Tournament. It'd be nice if Ian could also talk to the other guys and befriend them, tho this could get a different result if Lena has slept with any of em before or if they shared a threesome with Ian and Lena; I'm talking about guys such as Mark, Mike, Robert. Also wish there was more interactions between Seymour and Ian, sure, Seymour can't sleep with Ian but he sure can shape his character. Also, I'm excited to see who's Slutty Holly gonna target next; could be Mike and Marcel or even Axel. And ofc, I wanna see if Ian can smash Ivy in Ch 15, especially if he didn't already in Ch 14. Still waiting for Jess's revenge, after Ian destroyed her, she could even plan it with Sonia, add some BDSM; could be fun and Ian would be in for a treat! Thank you Eva for this wonderful game, i hope there's more chapters to come!
I see Fighting actions and some Babies incoming :P Damn. NEXT Week. Wow. It still feel super fast
Enrico / Wilson / Thug Eva & Ashley appearance ?
God, please, NO! ORS has already too much characters reappearing from GGGB.
damn
Do you have any more previews you can share?
I simply cannot wait!
Can’t wait :)
It’s really great to hear that you’re back in your studio. I hope everything is okay with your family, and I’m glad you’re able to focus on the chapter again. At this point, I’m honestly excited to see how every route continues. I’m curious about the new romance scenes, where Ivy and Ian’s story goes from here, and how the other paths will develop. But after hearing the chapter title, “Hard Knocks,” the route I’m looking forward to the most is still the faithful Ian & Lena path. It’s the route that has always felt the most satisfying and emotionally rewarding to me. I’m hoping this chapter strengthens their relationship even more. I’d love to see them face life’s hardships together, overcome the difficult people and obstacles around them as a real team, and take the next step toward the future they’ve been building. Maybe this is finally the moment where they begin living together and truly feel like an established couple. After everything Lena has been through—especially if she has remained pure and faithful throughout the story—I hope this is the point where she can finally move forward with a clean slate and build the happy life she deserves with Ian. I really feel that faithful Ian & Lena have earned that happiness, and I can’t wait to see where their journey goes next. Good luck with the final playtesting! I’m really looking forward to playing Chapter 15.
Exciting. I could imagine that Ian is being pushed physically here, or that there are interpersonal challenges with Lena or Gillian. ⚜️
Super excited for more ORS! If this update is 100% from Ian's POV I hope we'll see the conversation with Gillian, maybe a follow up with Louise and based on the picture of an art show from the last status report I'm expecting we'll see more of Cherry, which I'm very excited about. Quick question: How do the updates work with Steam? When will Steam users have access to the new content?
Steam version will be updated when the release cycle is finished on Patreon (Alpha, Beta and Final) so the game is as polished and free of bugs as possible
I expect a lot of Punching considering the name
How many chapters until the story ends?
Hard to say, my first estimate was 20 chapters max and it ramains more or less the same
