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

[Stan5851]

Apparently, the release date of the update will be postponed. Force majeure, but it's not that bad, data recovery work is going on. As they say, shit happens. So it's a good time to close old gaming debts (or open new ones by starting to play Star...).

Minor update as I grind away:

1) This is not a small deal to me at all, but after two days of hard work, I have managed to recover the entire Episode 8 script and have just merged my new script file (I wrote about 100 new renders in two scenes so far this week as I couldn't render quite yet) with the old, and now it's all back whole to one big Episode 8 file again. The current script is roughly 4,300 lines which is about right as to where I am, and as a reference, Episode 7 with about 4,300 renders was roughly 16,500 lines of code. So it feels about right, and have double checked everything.

I want to thank my emergency team channel here on Discord of Mistress Anais Mistress Phoebe Wills747 Edge070 Noneya666 James for ALL of their help and sage advice, especially as I was very very distraught when this happened.

2) I have still not recovered my Daz assets and some renders from about 11 days of prior work (this is about 80-90 renders and the sub poll harsh renders I had got to 34 out of 40, the 15 I released on Patreon is all I have left as renders but no duf files which are the saved Daz files for edits, etc.) I am currently rebuilding as I go, a slave of mine has about 250GB of assets and I had about 330 GB so trying to figure out how to transfer the files somehow but I am going back to my old purchases on Daz and Renderosity and going to redownload some tonight and most tomorrow I hope.

3) This same slave has most of the character dufs and I have some I saved from about a year ago so between us, I think we are pretty solid with some catch up to do. (I was most worried about this and the script because they are more creative/unique stuff versus assets and renders which I can re-download and re-do)

4) Just throwing one random pic, this is just a personal favorite for me in real life (although I cannot find a good sushi/rice asset that looks how I want) so just throwing it out there.
5) More later I hope.


Mistress Tess (yesterday)

I have updated Patreon, it is a bit long but I wanted to cover what happened with my crisis with data/computer. I will try in the next 1-2 weeks give a more game focused overview of everything/big picture, but for now I'm still in hardcore recovery mode. Thanks all! (some previews here, some were recovery shots, a few will not been by almost anyone, and...yeah, just enjoy heh...crap gotta fix one already lol

I was worried that the next chapter wouldn't have lewd scenes between Olivia and Mc, but seeing the previews maybe we can get something. I hope Tess gives us some advanced sex scenes between these two, at least on the dom path, where nothing has happened yet. We'll see if we see something like that or if Tess decides to move it to the next chapter.

I share your concern and look forward to the MC+Olivia scene on the Dom track. I don't know if the sex scene will be in this chapter or the next, but at least we have this (from Tess's discord channel, 06/25/2023)

This at least shows that Olivia has gotten even closer, which is a new level, up until now there was nothing explicit between them except for the moment when MC Dom wiped her naked body with a towel in Ch7. So even if that's all it's going to be, it's another step towards direct physical contact between MC and Olivia. At least I really hope so.

It´s strange to see Olivia with glasses ,i prefer her without them. But yes, step by step our Mc´s are getting together and if is not in this chapter we should see them in the next

Those pictures are bonus ones for patreon stuff. Won't be in the game !!

is there any torrent or some other link to download as the links above just keep timing out

have you tried gofile? it has never "timed out" for me.

Tess wrote that these images were published as a result of another poll for a Dom players. I'm not a patron of the game, so I can't say anything definitive on the options for this vote, but from what I know, poll aren't created for no reason. So Tess was wondering what patrons playing the Dom route wanted. The trend of Kane and Olivia getting closer together was well established in Ep7, and Tess doesn't do anything for nothing.

So even if there's nothing like the scene depicted, I'm still willing to bet that we'll see something more intimate between Olivia and Kane in Ch8 (in pt1 or 2). Maybe not full-blown sex, but something close to it, like a blow job or mutual foreplay.

We will definitely see em scenes, going forward .. Tess been building it up since last few episodes. Kane Olivia together like, as in 'love' and also like as 'mistress and her obedient slave' gonna be couple of many paths i think !

 

[Gamer8n8]

The picture above with Elena are in the game .. So there will definitely be some steamy scenes between em in the next episode !

I´m okey with only a blowjob fo the next chapter or that type fo stuff, their are getting close slowly and if they have sex in the chapter 8 maybe it´s a little hurried on when their relation is being buildind step by step. Anyway i really hope at least a blowjob or something like that in the dom path,it´s time... about sub path they are more advance and i awaits too something more extreme bewteen these two.

But i still thinking may be this happens in the second part of chapter 8, i hope i´m wrong but maybe Tess make the situation in the first part and ejecute it in the second, like a chapter of a tv series where director create the plot but this begins in the next chapter.

 

[single_guy_from_au]

When I saw the game name I thought it would be about some chess players (or something like that).

And then I saw all those previews. Trully shocking!

 

[DoverDad]

This weekend, I will be doing a poll to see if you guys want the test version or just the final version when it gets released. Back to Starfield, I go.

 

[Assman_6969]

There is no way we get sex with mc and Olivia yet. That is at least on dom path we probably are one episode out still and maybe more depending on how much alone time they get. With how it ended with Elena on dom path she learned in a shocking twist to her that Calista (Kane's Mother) & her long ago once bff is very much still alive and very well see how much she has been behind the scenes pulling strings of her own. I think also Calista has far more ways of effecting the whole Gambit, at least more than Elena has or will along with Veronica has and is working with Calista behind the scenes for quite some time. Veronica has a relationship with both them but not the same. Calista and Veronica have met in secret from the beginning we learned and there is a bigger connection to them then we know just yet but if had to pick Calista is who veronica sides with it seems.
Either way I see and think this is where Elena will begin to see the bigger picture now that Kane will become the highest position of power and doesn't need Olivia to do so and he can make his own choice which sister he wants to be the mother of his children to create the heir desired in will. It plainly says if he shows he is what is required than he shall have be given control and Elena knows this. I think she will really start to push for the 2 to become an actual couple and team up if you play the the good dom path. Elena secretly knows with Veronica and Yvette it shows but I can say Calista surely 100% knows this and ALL the true things to win the Gambit so Elena will be all for making sure Olivia is with him now even more than she already was cause if she was set in motion a plan to have them together but Im sure she thought Olivia would have the more say so and power which also she would think she was beyond the reach as well to do as she pleased than the moment she saw Calista is very much alive she instantly knew her plans were shit and over right then and she is gonna have to rethink the plans she had cause in that moment she also realised she will have someone who was around and molded Olivia to the woman she is like she has said a few times and now she is there so Elena will doubt what little bonding she has had Olivia and think she will pick Calista over her for help or anything that she would have originally may have went to Elena but not now or will she?. She may need to actually understand and think more about getting closer to mc and try to form more of a bond and try and help more like what she has done so far but now she will give Kane more info and really try to form a friendly relationship or who knows maybe she does more cause she is a milf and will fuck to keep herself safe. She knows he is moving in the direction he needs to and he is truly the one with all the potential to become the sole strongest player and yes even more than any one of the Karlsson sisters since no matter what they do they have to HAVE KANE/mc be apart of whatever they try to do but from all we have seen and learned so far on dom path and other info from others they learn only through sub path the path to power goes through mc ONLY making him if on dom path and once the mc in game learns what he doesn't know just yet but when he does who will be the smartest and best bet to work with or take as ya baby momma cause that is a must for us and then making sure you have the right women behind you and loyal starting that off already Calista once is known alive and the one who knows all along Veronica who is and will back a dominant Kane cause I think we see more between her and mc next update and them getting even closer with her helping him key info just like Calista will soon I think as well and those 2 are the 2 best chances for anyone to win the gambit and take full control with having the info we have and not only 2 of the main with soon to come long lost daddy I am betting which will then make 3 original founders and

At least I hope the game keeps heading in this direction and don't go like it is if on the sub routes cause if playing the dom path this is one of the best games you can ever play hands down. I think the sub paths are just for the fun of playing to play for sexual and kink reasons with no real care how it shapes up ending but if on the dom path the endings are gonna be huge to really put the cap on either A TRUE FANTASTIC GAME AND STORY THAT EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY AND SEE HOW POWER AND MONEY MAKE PEOPLE AND WHO CAN BE THE ONES STRONG ENOUGH TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR ALL NOT JUST THE RICH AND INSANE THAT THINK THEY WILL ALWYS DO WHATEVER AND GET AWAY WITH IT BUT TIME ALWAYS WILL COME FOR YA ALONG WITH IT IS KARMA AND KARMA ALWAYS TAKES WHAT IT WANTS! Can't wait to see how it keeps shaping up....

SEE HOW POWER AND MONEY MAKE PEOPLE AND WHO CAN BE THE ONES STRONG ENOUGH TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR ALL NOT JUST THE RICH AND INSANE THAT THINK THEY WILL ALWYS DO WHATEVER AND GET AWAY WITH IT BUT TIME ALWAYS WILL COME FOR YA ALONG WITH IT IS KARMA AND KARMA ALWAYS TAKES WHAT IT WANTS!

A few things:

1. Yikes! That is one impenetrable wall of text. My eyes hurt just from looking at it. Please, change the font size and/or add some paragraph breaks.

2. Karma isn't some cosmic retribution system. It doesn't overthrow tyrants. It doesn't punish, it instructs. It is about moral causality, yes, but it's supposed to work by transforming the agent. I don't claim to be an expert on karma (nor do I believe in it), but this is my understanding of it: If you do good acts, you become a good person and your ability to experience happiness increases (maybe people will appreciate you more because of your kindness, or maybe virtue is its own reward). If you do bad acts, you become a bad person and your ability to experience happiness decreases (this might manifest as guilt, shame, an inability to ever fill that black hole of desire in the pit of your stomach, or w/e).
And, of course, karma is also supposed to affect what you will be reborn as (and if you will be reborn at all).

3. Tess seems to be a fan of the Marquis de Sade (IIRC, Juliette Karlsson is named after the character Juliette from the books Justine and Juliette by de Sade), and that makes me think that there won't be any "karmic" comeuppance for the "rich and insane" in the end. If you haven't read Justine, it's basically all about the idea that the pursuit of virtue will only lead to pain and misfortune. Throughout the novel, all good acts are punished and all "evil" acts are rewarded.
While I don't think characters on the good/dom path will be punished just for being good (as long as they're smart about it), I also don't think there will be an ending where the downtrodden masses rise up and overthrow their oppressors once and for all. Or, at least I hope there won't be an ending like that.

Theres definitely a revolution about to happen so Id imagine that'll be one of the endings. Likely on the good kane path
