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

[jadepaladin]

I don't know why everyone is so excited about K1 slave, but if anyone is interested, here's what Tess replied.

Personally, I think this pathetic worm shouldn't be saved, because it's only his own fault for what he's turned into...But that's just me and my personal opinion...

Excited isn't the word I'd use for me. I'm morbidly curious (as I am with most of the sub route stuff) and have a K1 save just to see where it can go. I'll toss it in a spoiler just in case.

Thanks for the quote. It's not easy, but it isn't impossible either.

We tend to hate dead ends in VNs. Smart devs know to give a way out to avoid backlash. I see it as more of a business decision than a desire to actually save him at that state. There's at least one person who will play this, stumbling along the way, get killed, and then gripe about it.

There is no genre/tag definition dear. There's an actual dictionary official definition

Just to respond to this criticism in particular, there is no academic dictionary definition of femdom/female domination, as far as I'm aware. Some dictionaries will reference its usage among the BDSM subculture, but not formally define it.

Female and domination as individual words are defined and was what I was referring to as a "literal definition" in my post.

Oh, and what exactly would an 'academic dictionary' look like?

Even in the 'Oxford' learners dictionary (which is used academically as a source of English), I think you will find my definition is the same. Unless you are now going to try and tell us that the most informative and concise dictionary in the world,

Is wrong?

also for those who think that Kane didn't pick up on Olivia's evasiveness, he's on it. Sorry for the cock shot

Of course he did. He started to understand a lot of things in general, and that can't help but make me glad. KaneDom in pt2, imo, changed dramatically, stopped being stupid (which happened to him from time to time before) and became much more proactive and attentive to details.

Kane started thinking strategically and learning from what he heard and thinking ahead...Not to mention his dramatically increased assertiveness and skyrocketing confidence in himself and his right to "be first among equals". We finally got the KaneDom we deserved from the very beginning of the game. And from what I've seen, I get the impression that the Karlssons decided not to wait until after the game show and decided to prepare KaneDom in advance for the M-->Z1 stage.

I even love that he's started talking shit to all the Karlsson sisters. Im interested to see him when he rises even more up the ranks. Though at this point, I have to wonder if we'll ever use that k pass at this point? lolz

Also if Kane doesn't respond like this next time he meets Cynthia I will be extremely disappointed.

This is Goddess Raven,

Hey Stan, do you know if her new game "Bloodwhore" has been cancelled? I must be one of the few who played the demo but it's been many months .

To also add, Master/Slave is what we see mostly in KG but even then, within BDSM, the slave has still explicitly consented to be treated as such. Is that what we see here? No, it isn't.

For me it's well disguised, at least the initial path where Elena asks Kane if he'll accept her deal (which was a huge trap) and in the process Tess protects herself from future attacks from Patreon.

P.S.. Hey Mav, I went through the Christmas contest in ninja mode as I'm not allowed to vote as a pleb, and I saw that you didn't vote for Karlsson's Gambit .

 

[Stan5851]

Well, based on the fact that the maximum rank possible to get in the pt3 finals is K10, we need M rank to get straight into the accelerated executives training courses, so we'll probably have to use k-pass after all..

 

[Maviarab]

Kane...Both Jake and Amy screwed up their assignment. You can use your K-Pass to either demote Jake to K1 or raise Amy to K3. Choose wisely Kane...

Because Tess has 665 paid members so is not elligible

There was a conversation with Olivia at the end of Season 1, or somewhere in Episode 8 part 1, where she warns him that at the next rank evaluation (perhaps at the Gameshow itself), Kane will have one last chance to use the K-pass or lose it without using it.

Was the option to raise Amy rank in the game?

Mav, honestly, I don't think Amy will need our help. As you may have noticed, the Karlsson's have their own plans for all of our girls (Wpod2)..This was mentioned when we were first introduced to them. And I don't think Amy is in any real danger, which can't be said for guys like Jake or Zach.

So if we get a chance to take Amy into our own personal harem, in company with Lily (and hopefully Gemini) as a reward for our flawless performance on the show, I'll be very glad.. Plus, we'll have the chance to take control of Angelica (looking forward to that scene) and control everything to make sure that the VIP guests would be satisfied with the service from our girls.

No, not yet, though on the Alessa SecretSub path, Alessa does say she shouldn't be there and hints at the possibility.

You realise I was being very silly Stan right

For Sub Kane, if you have the K-Pass, you can use is to save yourself from k1 and go to k2, or just go up a rank regardless (tho you can’t use it to go to k5 if your k4)… or you can either increase Jake/zack ranks to help save them possibly or derank them and get them to k1 heh… OR you can have sex with one of the female characters (unknown if it’s a choice or not)

This is why its awesome having Silver here. I'd have never thought they'd give sub Kane the k pass but now we learned something new

The downside to not playing the other side

Do you not recall Kane thinking to himself that he assumes jake/Zach probably only got to taste their fingers? You have to understand, a lot happens regardless andsimultaneously, Many scenes with kane are reversed so-to-speak on the SubPath. When Olivia 'has to train' our pod/slaves and leaves DomKane (example being when she meets Kane and Taylor in the new room for Pod2)...on the SubPath you see that scene instead....

PickerLewd,honestly, I haven't been following this game and I'm only play the main "Luna Reborn" game so far.

Well, Mav already answered you, but yes, there are indeed dev requirements there. And you can't vote for developers who (AFAIR) have more than 500 paid subscribers.. That's the point - to support new developers or those who for some reason, having released a very decent game, have not been able to publicize themselves enough and gain a large base of paying subscribers. At one time "Pale Carnation" won in this voting, but I think now these guys won't be able to get on the list either.

Yeah, that's a revelation to me now, too.

Yea, I'll just use Wiki-Silver to figure out how the other side lives. It is pretty impressive how each side needs to be played to get the whole story. Though admittedly, there is a part of me that would've like to have seen how Olivia's party played out.

I'm pretty knowledgeable on that side too hehehe....But I'd always defer to Silver if he is around as he is to the SubPath what I am to the DomPath lol.

Her party is interesting, lot of info dumps...you can end it early or...continue into 'other rooms'....you also get more Nadia too, which is always nice.

There's only one pod girl I really care about and it sure as fuck isn't Amy (though I'll use her as much as needed to climb ranks). Kelly at least seems useful as a possible spy. Chloe bores me. Process of elimination:

You take that back JP! Don't make me get my Schwartz out! You leave poor Amy alone!

Kelly has become a lot more interesting this update (if you took that option)....Chloe, well, not sure if you're aware but she is owned by Dominique and is very desperate to impress her and is not a terribly nice person. Now sure, feel free to use her usless ass as much as you like to progress. It's a shame she nothing like her sister...

Angelica, well, we all agree there I think, about the only thing in KG we do all agree on
