VN Ren'Py Karlsson's Gambit [v0.8.2 Test] [Grym Gudinna Games]

[Don Sucio]

I wonder if there is any data out there on which path is more popular. I know most of the subs on Patreon emulate themselves as slaves for the Dev, so of course the only path of interest for them is the sub route...but for everyone else?...is it the Dom path that's more popular, or the sub path . Personally, I love the evil Dom path, but the secret nice guy dom path is alright too. Sub is just too over the top for me, but it fits the world the Dev created.

I suppose the most famous path is the sub path, after all is a game focused in femdom, even if the dom path exist and is very good, imo.

Anyway i can´t tell exactly because i play sub and dom paths so... But since the last two chapters i prefer the dom path.

This would actually be incorrect. it's actually quite tied between subs and doms.

The futuristic Dom Photo's are from this, "The preview above will not be seen by all as I am branching out a few optional dom path scenes as the players are now arriving at the island. I think I'll get back to the main branch for the dom path in about 2 weeks as I get these put together. (hint for the dom scene above -- you need two prior flags set to see it, one of them is Claudia's corruption must be high)"

and the sub photo's are from, the sub poll that aren't canon and are just for fun - "Some of the images above (second part) are the sub poll, the total set will be 33 images and I will share the entire set later today as I am still rendering about five of them as I write this update! But I decided to share about 7 of that 32 set for everyone just for fun "

So confirmed on Patreon the sub pics are not in the VN, they are just for the poll sets Crow? If so I'll remove them from my post. I didn't think they were sneak peaks when they were first posted in Discord.

yeah Thos sub photos with Juliette, Veronica and Olivia are from the sub poll that she had on Patreon that she’s making for fun!

Brief Description she had, “Office Assistant (gentle mostly but piss) - Veronica is a new hire at the office of CEO Kiyomi Ceronica is asked to come to the other side of the desk and she sees Zach kneeling patiently as Kiyomi's "assistant." Olivia (another assistant at office) enters the room with a caged chastity Kane crawling behind her. He's Veronica's new subordinate for her new position.” She switched Kiyomi to Juliette, for reasons…

I thought they were....thanks for confirming. Will edit my post and remove them as I'm only posting actual game sneak peaks.

Thanks Crow.

I wonder if we can expect a proper Dominique+Claudia+Kane scene, like the ones with Alessa+Celeste. Or maybe Dom just likes to watch, which is totally fine too.
Also, I surprised none of the girls have bloody knees from all the time they spend there sucking Kane's dick. Maybe Karlsson Group should buy some kneepads.

Alessa and Celeste are a confirmed 'other' romance option...Dominique/Claudia is not...besides, have they actually had any real interaction with each other yet?

I would find it unlikely SS.

Yeah, they did. Dom is supposed to be a 'mentor' type figure for Claudia, and teaches her some valuable life lessons in a scene on a sub path (k4, iirc). So they have a connection, just not of sexual nature (yet).
I was thinking more in terms of overall story rather than sex scenes: Celeste is in Alessa's camp, and if Claudia joins Dominique's faction it could create some juicy drama between the sisters when shit hits the fan. Will they fight and kill each other, or will they unite against the Karlssons? And what will Phoebe do? Many possibilities there for an interesting story.

Hmmm for sure, that could be fun indeed yes.

Must have forgot that particular sub scene heh...

 

[Stan5851]

This would actually be incorrect. it's actually quite tied between subs and doms.

In fact, if you look at the final survey/poll data among all patrons, its data shows that Dom players even slightly outnumber sub players. And I think that's a pretty good result for a femdom-oriented game, hehe. I remember around the same time Tess wrote something like "I was shocked by the survey results and will take it to heart, adjusting some things in the game (no details)" about it.

Notes: Finally some Dom sneak peaks. About time!

Absolutely!

 

[Zenith_11]

I haven't checked the discussion forums in a while. But was there ever an update regarding the status of the Olivia demoness/extreme dom evil route in the game? I assumed that it was removed because of the poll results. But I'm not sure because I haven't seen a lot of mentions about it. Is it officially removed? Is there still no decision about it yet?

You are definitely trying to cherry pick and skew the results with saying there are more dom players when this whole poll you linked above was related to the evil dom route and whether it should stay. Most people, on both sides, but especially sub players probably didn't care to vote, because have no prefrence for that route.

In fact on discord around november last year, she couldn't give a accurate number but said it was probably 65/35 in favor of subs on patreon( not accounting secret sub routes she said) Now that could of changed a little but I doubt it flipped on its head the other way completely.

So stop trying to push your agenda like this was an accurate poll of how many players are on each side of the dom and sub sides because it is not.

A Dom never likes to watch.

2ish years ago it was 35/65, today I will be dammed if it's even 20/80. Many Dom players have expressed their frustration over this time, can't say how many left after doing that.

You can think whatever you want, but here are the facts:
Full poll results
Tthere are objectively more voted patrons who prefer to play as Dom than those who prefer the Sub route.. So you can keep your wet fantasies and speculations, no one is interested in them. I realize it's unpleasant when objective reality smacks you in the face, but well, I think you'll get over it.

Nope, Tess decided to leave things as they were for now, but warned that if ever again a minority of inadequate patrons started making demands of her again regarding this branch (Demon Kane + Demoness Olivia) of the main Dom route, she would remove this "demonic thing" from the game.

Well whether you like it or not, it's as accurate as an example as you are going to get and it shows that it's fairly evenly split.

Argue that all you want if you like but you'll be talking to the wind. In my very long experience of this forum, this sub and the VN itself, while some (myself included) may argue/point out certain things, it's the majority of sub players (not all before I get lynched) that try to 'push an agenda' in this thread.

Have a good day.

Who do you think will die first when shit finally hits the fan? It's probably too early for a Karlsson, but maybe some of the henchwomen could? Someone like Scarlett for example, or maybe Sonya? They don't have much of a screentime (even with sub scenes) and are not plot-relevant, like Deliliah or Kitty. Other potential candidates: Patricia, Mercy. I hope my girl Samantha is safe though, she's such a joy to be around (even as a sub).

Sonya would honestly surprise me, S10 rank and kiyomi's right hand. It would take something major to remove her I think, just based purely on her capabilities.

Scarlett et-al I can see being the first casualties yes, even perhaps Sam, or even Pat (if she gets herself into a sticky situation to do with Alessa's orders etc). I can't see any major important characters biting the dust just yet, maybe Ep10 onwards is when i think the shit will really start hitting the fan...

But who knows
