Speaking of which, Tess wrote here that she herself will provide the final version to the uploader. So maybe this time everything will be quite official..)
What he said ^^^It will have additional content (>=4 scenes+ending), should be out relatively soon (stated goal was ~friday), and saves from the test version will most likely not work as intended in the following chapter (as Tess intends to add additional flags to existing scenes). So if you only want to play it once, you should definitely wait, else... that info should help you to make an informed decision based on your preferences
All good Dover, I've never understood the rabidness around here to eb honest. if the dev will release for free after a couple of weeks...just wait for it. It's an adult novel...surely these people have better things in their life to obsess over other than some pictures?? Maybe it's just me lol...
Let us hope so Stan, let us hope so.
Correct it isn't. It's a data file I believe (I don't understand the technicalities of it myself heh).
On Windows look at "C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\persistent" without the quotation marks, replacing "YourUser" with the active username on your PC.
It's not a normal save (with position information etc), basically the game takes the values of all relevant variables (good/evil, names, flags from decisions etc) of the currently running game and stores them in one of 8 containers in a file called Karlssons.gambit.s1 in the persistent directory of your (system-dependent) renpy folder.
.
That was certainly resolved (note here)By the way, the directory where the normal season 1 saves are located is "C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Test1-1575173365".
Tess, unlike other developers, didn't bother to name the folder and left it as "Test1"
The most interesting part of the post for me is not even the preliminary release dates of the game, which generally coincided with what I assumed, but this paragraph.Mistress Tess — Today at 12:02 AM
I am just doing a quick public post outlining a few things: (I have pasted this from Patreon so forgive the formatting if off) I am trying to get out a new version of 0.8 by this Friday/Sat but it is possible I won't finish everything I want to do and if so, I will still release a version this weekend that I will call 0.8Beta for $8 tier+ if it's missing anything. What I have added so far/trying to add from Test:
Not sure but on the list for Final regardless:
- Corrections and other tweaks
- Animations (were not in Test)
- New sub scene x1 or 2
- Easter Egg message for sub k1 players
I will keep working even if I fall a bit short on the weekend and keep going until Final is ready. There is a big poll happening on my page right now, and it's been very illuminating for me in ways I didn't expect and I am usually hard to surprise. But I'm a bit surprised. I think I know what I'm going to do moving forward, but going to let that all play out first.
- 1 or 2 dom scenes
- Outro scene with developer thank you, etc.
- Intro card to start episode (I have to track down all the masks again because I lost them in my SSD crash but have gotten some nice help on some of them already)
- Nice to add but might not -- a short everybody sees scene (general main branch) I was thinking of putting in Part II.
I have really thought hard on this and have finally relented as he's been wanting this for a while, and will be formally bringing on the only person in the world I am willing to submit to (only a tiny bit haha!) to help me with communication and other ways to handle external noise/nonsense. I will also pull back with communication/messages a bit just in the help/tech sense to assist, etc. I have already assigned Anais to handle Itch but I am likely going to pull back admin stuff a bit more to him on Itch/Patreon/Discord and later stuff, and be grateful for the help. I am always a bit stubborn about being self-reliant and strong, but I am ready to have his arms around me to shield me a bit more. I trust no one else more to assist and especially protect me, and will speak more on that and do an intro soon.
I am guaranteeing here that a Final Version will be out even with unexpected problems at the very latest before I leave for a trip overseas. That trip is not exactly set, but it's roughly from Feb 16th to 24th give or take a day or two. I will not be able to render well during this time, so plan to write out a lot of Part II both outlining and script, etc. The absolutely worst case is that even Final needs further refinements but hopefully it doesn't happen and this version will be available to $5 tier worst case I would say the week of the 13th to 16th range. But I think it will be ready much sooner.
Another factor is that I've gotten super busy this week with more than I thought outside the game, but juggling everything as well as I can right now! I'm even helping write and decorate/plan a kind of dinner murder mystery charity event and it's really been a lot of fun!
I also admit I took an extra day off last week and enjoyed three free days instead of two...I think I needed it! I didn't get to play tennis much but did golf three times! (I played tennis/golf/volleyball formally and still love them all!) But I'm back in the proverbial saddle and working hard this week! I feel pretty refreshed!
But it is still my goal to get as much as possible done and maybe I'll get a Final out this weekend!
Thank you all! Tess
As a Dom player, I'll be insanely interested to read what Tess thinks of all this. Almost 4 years of releasing updates for one of the most successful femdom-oriented game and suddenly finding such results, hehe..)
Yeah it's...it may very well be an interesting eye opener for her. Or, maybe not at all. Femdom games are niche, while there are many male submissives, I would imagine they are still a small minority to the other way around (such as myself for example as I've discussed before).
Took her sweet time to realise that, people have been telling this to her from the start.
It's not from the Dom players generally. It's from a small subset of dom players who are attracted to a particular path among many potential dom paths. She never suggested cutting the dom content altogether and it makes no sense as a solution to the problem that has been discussed at length.
Exactly, and Tess has written many times that a good femdom game without a Dom route makes no sense to her. So nobody is going to delete an entire Dom route because of a small group of inadequate admirers of a tiny (compared to the entire Dom route) extreme offshoot with flags demon and demoness (for the extremely evil Kane and Olivia).
I agree with you and think so too, however, to be honest, I was somehow sure that the balance of power would not be in favour of Dom players.. I imagined (given some circumstantial data from Tess's other polls that she referenced in discord) that the Dom/Sub ratio would be somewhere around 40/60. Again, I wasn't basing this on a general, shall we say, global Dom/Sub ratio (in the world), but specifically on the fact that KG is a femdom game, and thus, a priori, it will primarily attract Subs, and many Doms (out of ignorance and distrust of an unloved fetish) may just pass it by...
"As a dom player", as if playing a game should classify the player on one side or the other. I really don't understand this way of thinking.
