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

[Nifferman]

I have one question... Does time pass at a slower rate where you are? Where the hell do you find enough of it to do all this? This isn't even the only thread you are this active in... You have way too much energy to be a normal human, my friend... Your last name isn't Trump, right?

He might be Barron Trump

 

[motseer]

Awww shucks...make me blush...it was a damn fine post though wasn't it, even if I do say so myself hahahaha.

With any luck, with the new update, we can nail down some more names to the masks I was stull unsure about. Still doesn't help that she introduced new ones for old lost ones...bit hard to truly figure them all out.


To give a little info (not exactly private info I guess), my afternoons and evenings are largely my own. I'm effectively (thankfully) retired early and I also look after/care for my mother full time. It affords me a lot of time to think, theorise...and yes, do shit like excel sheets for masks and walkthroughs for other VN's hehe. I also use multiple monitors so do important stuff on my main screen (or watch sometyhing, have a game running etc) while I have browsers open on a seperate one. That and quite frankly...because I can and have the time and find stuff like save sheets/walthroughs/creating the mask post that Stan linked interesting...keeps the brain active

You are a damn multitasking demon, my friend...

Kinda glad Tess gave us the option on going with Elena if we don’t want to go the Olivia route

at this point some of you already know the further story btw that is hot

Well, knowing certain things (or along the right trajectory) is not overly difficult as Tess feeds us information. we know for fact there should be x amount of endings. We know for sure, that there will be x amount of 'world states' (ie, the state of the world and the Karlsson Group at the end). we know who is a main romance and a secondary romance and how they tie into those said world states.

General speculation can and will/does lead us into certain things. Like, pretty much from the start, we all knew Olivia would be a LI (as the rest of the sisters)....the main speculation and talking points are more about the secrets Tess hides from us on purpose and how exactly we are going to get to certain places that we can confidently assume exist.

As PickerLewd stated, it is such a complex, branching story (with many mysteries still yet to be revealed...though are they being slowly exposed) that it's really not difficult to get invested in the story and start theorising.

Edit: It's a shame really we're only page whatever we are on and the VN (while incredibly popular and certainly earns Tess a nice sum of money) the Vn is not 'more popular' (which sounds ironic to say given my last sentence). I think the femdom tag (and marketed as such) puts a lot of folk off, when, on the non-sub side of the story (dompath), there is an amazing, wonderfully crafted, incredibly complex story with gorgeous girls to uncover if femdom is not your cup of tea. It really does cater to both incredibly well and PL said earlier, your Kane does exactly what you expect of him. And there's no reason not to try this, I would 'guesstimate' the vast majority of KG players only play one path alone.

Yeah really love this thread! Tho I wish there were more sub players that are open to discussion hahaha I know most of them keep to themselves unfortunately but don’t worry ! I’ll fight for you Although, it’s always a pleasure talking to people in this thread because if we didn’t all enjoy KG and find it interesting, we probably would’ve never discuss things together and although it may be a small thing, those small things brightens people’s day so thank yall for always being here

but in reality I love this Game so much because it puts you into the story not just to be in there, but to how to shape the story, the relationship with characters, sub/dom with your choices and KG is just full of branching opportunities and I love those types of games!!
I mean, In the Dom playthrough, Kane Remembers Veronica during childhood, but Sub Kane doesn’t remember yet… Tess said she’ll eventually tell him at some point for a reason… but just little things like that always are just great to see personally because of how different not only big choices are but just small omes
Plus the game is filled with mystery and I just can’t wait to see how different it may be tackled depending on everything!!

Tess should have replaced the old masks that got lost with the new ones, they are only one render per chapter .

P.S. How can I see my top 5 topics here?

Yeah...we can also add that from the beginning we suspected (knew) that Callista was actually alive and that she was the Gambit Queen. It turned out to be so, although at that time the evidence base we all had to extract literally by bits and pieces and in the heated discussions were broken many copies.

The riddle of the two ninjas. With one ninja our guesses were also correct - it was Veronica, but with the second "ninja" on the meeting in the temple (Ms.Gydinna) still remains a veil of mystery, but most likely it is Alessandra(?)..

Not sure what she will do going forward but she has all her masks back now, I cut them all out (how made my sig which you can't see lmao) and have scaled them and made them sharper, cleaned them up and sent them to her. So she has everything back again now at least going forward.

That's definitely an interesting situation which could affect gameplay/story significantly. My original thoughts were that the flag is there for a different resolution as how/when Cole comes back to the facility (or the vicinity at least) and that even if (player choice) Cole stays where he is etc....that he will still come back regardless. So more of a flavour thing in how he comes back, rather than if he ever will or not.

of course, I could be completely off-bat with that theory but given his seeming importance in the overaching story (certainly on a couple of routes/world ending states) it is certainly an interesting one.

The second screenshot feels like a red herring. I don't see either of them being killed at this point, and certainly not by daddy Cole.

I'm a sub player(I play every path, seen alls scenes, but sub is my prefered), I just don't talk here much, I am more active in the discord. I just feel like this thread is filled with conceited know it all, dom players that think they know everything and get on my nerves imo, so I usually don't type here that much and prefer the discord, cause it feels more friendly and welcoming over there personally.

I'm a Dom player (I don't play sub routes, but I have watched some important sub scenes through Sancho's gallery). I don't go to Discord that often, because when I get there (on Tess's server), I get the impression that I'm in the company of unhealthily obsessed with femdom, who don't recognize other opinions and endlessly discuss only and exclusively the femdom component of our game. And the only healthy person there is Tess herself.

That's why I go to Discord mostly only to chat with her myself, and sometimes to leave feedback about the game and my wishes and suggestions for the development of the game, characters and relations between them. So f95 is much more convenient and comfortable for me in terms of atmosphere, not to mention that the huge opportunities that f95 provides to players, no discord can provide.

It's not easy to play blind for the first time, I can assure you that many people have fallen into K4 and dropped out.

I remember falling into K5, but the second time I played I changed two decisions and went to K4 .

Yeah really love this thread! Tho I wish there were more sub players that are open to discussion hahaha I know most of them keep to themselves unfortunately but don’t worry ! I’ll fight for you

I have a game on K4 because I want to see more story scenes, does that make me a switcher?

I was brave enough to try one of Miron's HFG games and my innocence was tainted so hard that I had to give up within the hour .

Not sure what she will do going forward but she has all her masks back now, I cut them all out (how made my sig which you can't see lmao) and have scaled them and made them sharper, cleaned them up and sent them to her. So she has everything back again now at least going forward.

I asked her on Patreon last month and she told me she hadn't got them all back yet, I'm glad she got some back, too bad they're not used in-game in some of the divas .

So… what do you guys think will happen if you hit the KiyomiDoor flag or not?

I have a conspiracy theory that Silver has the whole game installed on his hard drive .

I hadn't seen those screenshots of Kiyomi.

So, if his sense of duty comes first, it would be something like, “Sorry, son, the plants were more important than your life, and it's your mom who's going to save you, and I'm going to go plant some sprouts”? From what we saw in the game, I got the impression that Cole would lay down his life but try to save Kane, who was in trouble.

And Callista..Well, here's more confirmation that she cares about Kane, even the Kane who has lost his way and is in danger.

And because I'm sad (and have a lot of time) and love stats etc....as you mentioned my activity here...KG beats the rest by a wide margin.

I've made mine now that you've shown me, I don't have that many comments, but I was surprised by the result :

Yeah it seems like Callista has more of that motherly love that will go farther to a certain extent to help Kane/save him Than Cole to an extent
