In GGGB Ashley had some shenanigans at her workplace, mainly with Rosa (aka Landwhale) that served as some kind of petty villain. That character was an afterthought and her role was mainly to antagonize and be bothersome to the player, but it made me want to have a better defined enemy that would pl

Even though Wade is part of Ian's main group of friends, he sits behind as a secondary character. His standing is very particular and interesting, though. Wade sits in between Jeremy and Perry in Ian's eyes: he's always been lucky with the ladies thanks to his good looks and chill attitude, and he s

With Emma I tried to deviate a bit from the more stylised body types I like giving to my female characters. I wanted to make her a bit shorter and curvier (what's gotten to be called T H I C C) and with a style and personality to go with it. She's a bit more alternative, one of those free souls who

Robert is one of those characters that force themselves into the story. He started by being just a random drunkard Ian would have his first fight with. But as I continued to develop the story, searching connections between characters, it occurred to me he could be Lena's co-worker. And, of course, h

Stan is another archetype I didn't include in GGGB: the nerd. Closer I had was one of Eric's versions, or maybe even Ashley's dad, but they were far from this. While thinking about character dynamics for ORS it occurred to me that a character like Stan could provide some interesting interactions. He

When I came up with Axel, he seemed like a very interesting character to me. In GGGB we had Jack, who started of being an exaggerated representation of the "player" type of guy, an overly muscled, cocky, successful, apologetically amoral and sexually aggressive character that could tempt the naive A

Same as with Lena, I wanted Ian to have several friends that would pull him in different directions. Jeremy contrasts sharply with Perry: he's a merry and outgoing player, a guy who is mostly interested in going after girls and is not ashamed of it. His social spheres are very different too, he's in

When I was thinking about what game to make after GGGB and what to include, I realised I had been missing goth aesthetics all this time! It was a look I hadn't explored yet and I think it can be pretty sexy, so I decided to made Louise some kind of a grown-up edgy goth girl. She's not a teenager any

Ivy is the bad girl of ORS, a bit like Jessica was in GGGB. She can serve as a role model for Lena and open up some interesting and naughty possibilities for her to explore story-wise. Jessica was one of my favourite characters in GGGB, but I wanted Ivy to be different, even if she fills in that sam

In GGGB the role of the nerdy and shy girl fell onto good Ash, kind of. Before coming with the idea for Our Red String, I had another story in mind (maybe I'll talk more about it some day, or maybe I will manage to make a game out of it at some point). There was where the idea of having two main cha

I like Alison's design quite a lot, too. She's one of Ian's friends, and she sports a more busty, mature look (even though she's only one year older). She's unapologetic about her personality and seems to have her priorities really straight. I have in mind two main roles for her, and you'll be seein

Cindy is one of my favourite character designs. I think she's the second character I came up with, right after drawing the first version of Lena. While Lena is a full-bodied dark-haired beauty, Cindy is slender and golden-haired. It took me a while to define her personality (that's still an ongoing

One of the things I wanted to try and improve in ORS was giving the main characters more context. After all, we are who we are because of the people that surrounds us. To that end I wanted to put more focus and effort in the side characters that interact with the player. Perry is a very peculiar cha

Having Ian as a playable main character beside Lena has been a bold choice, but one I had been wanting to make for some time. Dave and Jack, en even Eric were very interesting characters to write in GGGB, and I thought about a lot of scenarios and choice mechanics I could create if they were playabl

I did one for Eva last week and you guys asked me for one depicting Ashley's evolution through different routes. What's your favourite one? :)

What do you think of her change of style?

I combined various of your suggestion's and came up with this! What do you think about her new look?
