Ok I've never been too much in these kind of kinks but this game is really fantastic, as I've already said the author :)

Now, I have a question for those that already explored the game, just don't spoil me: as far as I can understand you can play with a sub or dom MC (with several other variations I know, but let's keep it simple), with a sub or dom sis, and maybe (I'm not sure) the same with the brother. Now the question: I want to try both paths with the MC, but how do you suggest to match the MC paths with the sis\bro? I mean: with a dom MC, for the sake of roleplay\fun is better to couple it with a sub sis\bro? And for a sub MC what's better? Or they are all equally viable anyway?

I'm at about half of the game.

TY

Honestly, depends on your kinks. Theres legit no right or wrong way to play the game. Tess is pretty good at not shortchanging doms subs or in betweens.

Combine Dom or Sub however you like. Maybe choose one and then the other for the Sis in your two playthroughs to see all her options.

When it comes to your MC Sub playthrough: Only go full on Sis Evil if you're into more heavy stuff.

I'm going to update Patrons with much more detail, but a few minor points about 0.6 to note:

1) For the first time, some animations will exist in the game. I may have a non-animated version as well just because I am not confident they are great. Most of them are in the dom path because I worked on that side first and have stopped mostly doing this because I am trying to finish the update now. This is just the first time effort of a newbie so am learning as I go...very simple still but someday hope to get better.

2) I have always said there are 15 endings in my head. Not totally unique in 15 completely singular narrative branches, but some are variations of similar themes with a different female or something to that effect. For the first time in 0.6, not making a certain decision can lock you permanently out of two possible endings. You are not locked/forced into those ending paths by any means, but rather they are now closed off to the player as a possible path. Some players may not see these choices if they picked a certain Karlsson to focus on earlier. (remember Kane picked a primary sister to see for a department, and Olivia did as well in a way) One ending is on the dom path, another on the sub side.

3) One (maybe two haven't decided on second) minor side character can die in 0.6. Not a Karlsson or major character...yet.

Thank you TessSadist. I'm sure even your first stab at animating will be worthy of attention. And as for the rest, Karlsson's Gambit is one of the most replayable AVNs here and elsewhere. Sometimes I go through it with the same choices just to appreciate the dialogues, images or little details. Excellent work!(y)

sounds like the mentor lockouts are about to happen. i.e. if you chose to talk to the wrong person, we'll be seeing those results this update. SOunds like

I love this vn. Never dreamed how much fun watching others suffer could be, such HOT fun. I'm thankful you take the time and make such rich content for the dom evil people like me as I know subs are probably your biggest supporters.

I am nervous about animations being added but I trust you will kill it if it becomes a distraction so best of luck.

Yeah I am trying to learn myself a little more about stuff in general, but my plan is likely to have two versions of 0.6 one with animations (there are just some short ones and nothing special, definitely nothing crazy this is why I'm not banking on them) and one which is more normal as I have done before. It really hasn't impacted my time very much since I'm not doing ones that take days or something, and my card is really good too (RTX 3090). Basically, I have a hard time not eventually trying to learn things over time as I do something long enough...and it was just time for me to try it. (I remember feeling this way reading code for the first time, I freaked out!)

Fighting crime with a good throbbing is the best thing such a hunk can do for his city.

Unlocked


Hi all!
I have included more preview images, although I may get a little more cautious near the end about sharing certain things. I am now at 1239 renders and I should finish the script within the next 2-3 days. I am just leaving out one scene from this as I am still experimenting with doing the scene properly and may change what I write depending on that factor.
A few notes about 0.6 that I am trying not to spoil, but relevant.
1) For the first time, two ending (final endings) paths can possibly unlock or lock in the game. What this means is that Kane can lose possibly two of the 15 or so possible endings as a path during this update. One is on the dom path, and one is on the sub path. I will of course do a walkthrough about a week after I finish a nice release. No one will be locked into being forced to play such a path if it opens, but it could close off forever as a possible path if not triggered by the player.
2) I will of course not charge Patrons for April if I have to bleed into that month. I think I can make some really good progress in the next two weeks, and worry more about polish/testing than finishing the renders in March.
3) It is possible a minor side character can die in the game. It's not a major character (yet) but just a small thing out there -- possibly two but not sure yet.
4) I have included the title card for 0.6 -- as always, it means something to me in how I design/structure the narrative. Over time, it does keep changing and they do represent specific people/strategies in my mind. It actually helps me personally.
5) I have also included a minor map -- it will be part of the update with a small sample of lore and background as Kane learns about the overall world a bit, etc. This image only shows the territory of The Karlsson Group.
6) 0.6 will have a few minor animations, but I may create a non-animated version as normal. They are not special or anything and have generally stopped doing them, but I wanted to try and learn this stuff so did a little testing on it. But just disclosing that too.
I took a while, but I think last week I found an artist I like. (thank goodness!) Not a gigantic help for 0.6 at this point, but a little bit for sure. I have already tasked out two scenes.
I've been up a long time straight now, so I think I will rest. I apologize if I am not responding super well to messages, but I am starting to shift to what I call 7/7 days...7 hours work, 7 hours of the game all the time as I try and get to the end.
