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

[Don Sucio]

I know Tess stays up late (was almost 3am when she replied to my questions I had for her) but I don't think it's coming today/tonight Don

I know... but hope is the last thing you lose they say... .
I´m going to sleep now, dreaming with Olivia and hoping tomorrow in the morning we can play

So you like D&D? What class you have now? Did you play Baldur´s Gate 3?
Just Curious , i don´t know many people who like D&D.

Stop it... I got hard stuck on K8, but I'm going to go up in the second season .

What's stopping you from getting a K9 in season 1? It's not that hard, plus you can always use Sancho Mod and/or the official walkthrough..

Long time player on and off. Just getting ready to start a new online campaign with my US friends in a couple of weeks, still deciding whether to play a Changeling Whispers Bard or a Mastermind or Phantom Rogue as usually go pure caster classes...Sorc will forever be in my heart...and oh, always Chaotic Neutral hehe. There's about 12 of us, so waiting to see what gaps there are in the party then I'll make a final decision. Probably still end up as a human Sorc haha (Red Wizard for the RP lulz).

We've been playing a very long campaign in NWN (original) for years...but come to an end and someone suggested a Roll20 campaign so switching to that. I'm also very old school...I sitll play the first and second BG to this day. I despised BG3, despise the CrapDog remasters...nothing will ever come close to the originals....nothing, as they were made for a completely different gaming demographic.

He can't use Sancho mod...due to old potato system I believe. He uses walkthrough on his phone...but can only assume he didn't meet Dominique first and wants to see his save through without meta gaming it.

Is it possible to load the submissive route without actually having the saved game progress from season 1? When I started playing season 2 it automatically loaded into Kane being a dom and that's not what I picked before

No, you must make a data save in Season 1 (Ep7b) at the required end screen to be able to import it into Season 2 (Ep8 Part 1).

lol people want that question option that some games with part 2s give you, which nty. This game is one of the most easily fast forwarded games that you can do if you want to go that route and get a quick save

That's one of the things I like about it - no stupid pointless clicking, minigames and freeroam crap, like in BADik or Fashion Business. Just story is more than enough imho for an AVN. If I wanted to click on things, I'd play Minesweeper or Solitare.

What is nty?

Also yeah, wouldn't exactly say simple, far too many choices to have to keep deciding but yeah, it's not terribly complicated and takes no more than 10-15 mins, especially if creating meta-saves to get on certain routes/paths (which is how I did most of my sub saves lol).

Exactly this. I only play 2 'sandboxes' IIRC...both are very light on that aspect also and quite logical. Both would be no worse off if that element was scrapped but they are there. I know Stan is a huge fan of FB...but the sandbox just put me off. Like you, if I wanted to play an actual 'game' that includes clicking, going place to place...I'll play an actual proper RPG, not a VN and I think that's where too many devs go wrong, they want to make an actual 'game' but don't have the resources, time, skill or whatever, so try and mould it into a VN instead and in 99.9% of cases (IMO), it never works properly, is usually buggy, counter-intuitive and really not needed to tell the story at all.

KG has to be one of the most complex VN's out there in terms of decisions, routes, variables etc etc....does perfectly fine without all the superflous, uneccessary clicking around screens and maps at certain times of the day just to progress what is usually in most cases, a rather linnear story. I nearly always find sandboxes, freeroams etc, are just a cover to waste your time to hide the fact there usually isn't all that much content. All the time spent developing these silly systems (BaDIK being a prime example) could have been spent on actually progressing the story and creating more renders.

There are no mini-games in Fashion Business, and as for the rest, I've written about it before. #29,741
As they say, nuff said.

NTY = No Thank You

Yea Im not a fan of games that require minigames or for you to click to get places except for Pale Carnations . I like to be able to get where I need to go quickly, I'm wasting my time with non-story related stuff, and it takes away from the main story. Tess easily transitions between 3 narrators without much trouble, more VNs with one protagonist should follow her example and just tell the story. No need for the fluff

Ahhhhh gotya hehe...was struggling with that abbreviation. Got it

if any wants… they can give me kink ideas for the gameshow, specifically for sub Kane! I already recommended a facesitting competition (where you can choose between characters that’ll sit on ur face) and choice you made before along with what girl you choose can either make you pass out (in which you lose valuable time in the show or you pull through)! Miss Tess seemed to like the idea so if anyone wants to relate them to me I can send it to her!

On the sub path? Ohhh boy....

How about who can hold the most weight from their balls via clips and chains...

Just tell her to watch this for further inspiration. It's glorious.

Exactly, most of games with hard stuff i have found here are sandbox, i´m not a fan either.
At first i was ok with the minigames in BaD , but after the chapter six it becomes really annoying, constantly minigames and zero advance in the story...

Maviarab, let me clarify the situation.
