VN Ren'Py Karlsson's Gambit [v0.8.1 Part I] [Grym Gudinna Games]

[Don Sucio]

Badly as possible? You could pick Juliette and then refuse to do anything evil and later betray her for Olivia. That will probably get you the worst possible treatment from her, and she does appear to be the cruelest. Either that or don't pick a sponsor, continue to alienate Olivia, than pick her to win the Gambit anyway. You'll probably get the most abuse from Olivia that way.

BTW, if you want to be treated as badly as possible how come you're a k3 instead of a k2 or a provisional k1? Olivia must have been at least a little pleased with you.

In the end I am going to decline the two offers and continue without sponsorships, that way I stay more on Olivia's side and that way she does not have to answer to anyone to do what she wants with me. Regarding why I'm not less than K3 if I'm looking to have a hard time, it's basically because when I started playing (a long time ago) I didn't know what was the maximum that could be lowered in rank, and being very advanced I'm quite lazy to start over hahaha, one day I will, but from the outset I think K3 is bad enough for me, although I don't mind suffering more.

Good try but Juliette likes water too!

She likes her boat but im not sure thats the same thing though admittedly we wont know till we find out how juliette relaxes when nobody else is around. Shes the most tight lipped of the sisters when it comes to that

They are not at all biologically related. They are not yet aware of this, at least Kane isn't (I'm not sure about Olivia after 0.6's opening) but I expect the bomb to probably drop next update. No biological relation, so no incest. The whole point of the Gambit is to produce a male heir with the genes of both Alexander Karlsson and Callista, and it has been made clear that Olivia has a shot at winning the Gambit.

I already complimented you on how intricate is the game and how incredibly fun and satisfying is to roleplay it.
Now I'm doing basically my third unique playthrough (mc sub + evil sis, ouch ), and I found another aspect of your work that often remains unnoticed (in general) but I think it's incredibly important: expressions (and gestures).
Idk how much you spend on it but I find them really good (especially on the female characters) and they help a lot on the immersion and enjoyment of a scene.
Chapeau

are seth and kane biologically related?

Oh, yes. Dom Kane can definitely win the Gambit himself, either jointly with one of the Karlsson daughters or alone. That's been alluded to on several occasions. Sub Kane may not have that option, and probably wouldn't want it, but his choices will determine the winner.

Callista had to have been pregnant around olivia and kane, I doubt she could fake it. Therefore seth and kane are probs def related unless tess hid something from us that only kane and olivia knows, but I doubt it.

 

[BigStuffedTiger]

Given that Seth isn't treated as having the same potential as Kane, I'm inclined to think that either he isn't Callista's son or his neurodegenerative disease is due to a deleterious genetic mutation that has rendered him an unsuitable source of genetic material for the Gambit. Maybe Callista adopted him. She was said to be kind hearted, although the results and repercussions of some of her past actions make me wonder at times. I suppose continued exposure to Alexander Karlsson forced her to toughen up and make compromises too.

 

[dougiehouser]

A question about how the game is split.

There are parts 1 & 2:
Is that a play one then play the other type of thing, as two separate games.
Or they are meant to be combined together before playing?

I ask because I assumed it was the 2nd of those options but they have duplicate files, so now I'm confused.

 

[SpeakSoftly]

This has been asked (and answered) several times already, but in short: put both files in the same folder and extract part 1 - part 2 will be extracted automatically and a new archive will be created - extract that one for the actual game.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

While Cole's genes are fairly strong in Kane, I can see the resemblance between the two brothers but that may just be confirmation bias on my part. Anybody esle has thoughts?

To few male models in Daz, they all look related

Is there a Russian translation?

 

[Stan5851]

Is there a Russian translation?

Nope. Either translate the game yourself (e.g. using Maverick OCR Helper 3.0.2 with DeepL Tranlsator) or wait until content 0.6.2 is translated by Porno-Island translator, who is responsible for this work.The game (v 0.5.2 b) is currently translated into Russian and you can download it from there. The translation of 0.6.2 Final is in progress. (As of June 22, 25% of the update has been translated.)

 

[TessSadist]

Very briefly just wanted to thank everyone for kind words and also suggestions/ideas. I'm currently assessing the issues from 0.6 (definitely made some learning mistakes to improve upon for 0.7) and taking them into account with how I construct the next chapter with little tweaks, etc.

0.7 and especially 0.8 are to me the hardest to construct narratively so I am ready for the challenge. (I hope!)

I may share a good set of images outside of the game (I just did a 30 image set with Doctor Chastain, Raven, and Phoebe) as a thank you if something seems appropriate.

I have a big trip in July, so preparing a lot for that too since I plan to write a lot of dialogue during that time. (In an ironic way, I will likely get more work done on the game because I have less home distractions lol)

Might have a good artist to help with speed too.

I'm getting back in the flow of working on 0.7. Regarding translations -- I can't talk about specifics yet, but I will just say that someday a full Japanese translation (after completion of the game) may exist through another party (rights to publish so to speak). I'm working on another language too for a similar arrangement, but it's very early. I also have someone working on a French translation as well, but I will likely release that myself as an added thing down the road with my own versions in the future.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Man interesting game.

I hope the endgame is that I can kill everyone. This game really brings out that desire to mutilate and murder women.

Ive played two paths now to the end of version 6. "MC Sub (K3/No Sponsor) - Sis Evil Dom" and "MC Evil Dom (K9/Veronica Sponsor) - Sis Good Sub" Iwant to start a third playthrough, but I want to be sure to get as many new scenes as possible. Can you recommend some routes for me? Thanks a lot!

 

[gregers]

It seems to me that if you let Kane and Olivia win this Gambit and lead the Karlsson groups, you could well let them both enslave individual (or even all) of Karlsson's daughters.

I think that the appeal of having the two win together has significantly gone down (for me) with the latest chapter. I've been playing the three PC's as loyal to each other, operating on the assumption that everyone else could be lying or trying to manipulate them, but with this chapter establishing that Olivia has been lying to Kane and Seth no matter what my choices every character decision I'd made in the previous chapters seems to have gone out the window.

I'm not trying to pressure the dev into writing another game than the one she wants to do, nor do I want to restart the argument over multiple protagonists that's been done to death in this thread already: I respect that that is the format the dev has chosen, but this chapter certainly illustrated why the story would work better for me (again, for me) with either Olivia or Kane as the single protagonist.
