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

[Maviarab]

I'm betting on a handjob on Olivia's part, but I'm secretly hoping for a sensual and beautiful blowjob (and a deepthroat! fuck yeah! Shut up, Stan, shut up!).

You and me both.....*sighs*...one can dream.

Yeah, i feel like this is what will happen, Tess will probably save the big sexual stuff with her on both the dom and sub path for the end of episode 8, so part 2 of episode 8 or part 3 if there is a part three, because it is such a big moment, so I don't think she drops it randomly in part 1 in episode 8.

Yeah, I'd imagine that's the case. Tess knew what she was doing posting that preview pic. Hopefully dom kane can at least get the reveal ( don't know if sub kane has had the reveal or not yet).

To be fair and may just be me, but given the amount of 'pleasure' available and on offer from various guises...I'd be quite happy to wait longer for Olivia, especially if specifically going for her and answered her question 'with her' in the ruins etc....given the relationship already, I dunno, would just feel more special to me.

Until we can get her, given the nature of the organisation (which she is well aware of), not like we'll be left wanting in any way until it happens heh.

On one hand, I agree, because if even complete stranger Junko got a great romantic scene, then Olivia, Kane's dearest person, definitely deserved romance and the lingering anticipation of intimacy. But on the other hand, we have a reality where there's at least six months between updates.

And from that perspective, our entire relationship with Olivia is stretched out over a very long period of time. It's like we're in reality courting a girl with far-reaching plans for her, hehe. All in all, I'm experiencing ambivalent feelings in which understanding struggles with impatience.

Yea the shorter updates won't help. Now since she seems to be rolling out one sister to have relations with per chapter, juliette and her orgy appears to be the next big scene. However Olivia trying to get frisky with little payoff is starting to...

I´m with you, i hope a blowjob too (and further ) but Tess is going very slow with Kane and Olivia relationship so is improbable have something more than a handjob, anyway i´m happy with a handjob, at least is something

Yeah, i feel like this is what will happen, Tess will probably save the big sexual stuff with her on both the dom and sub path for the end of episode 8, so part 2 of episode 8 or part 3 if there is a part three, because it is such a big moment, so I don't think she drops it randomly in part 1 in episode 8.

Yes, that makes sense and it would be a very big moment for the game and the story.

So, has anybody's Karlsson sister preference changed since they first started playing?

At first, I was a Juliette fanboy because she was so evil. However, I realized she was too much of a psycho to be Kane's endgame girl. Then, I wanted Dom due to her moral flexibility. Then Alessandra caught my eye with her shiftiness. Now I'm into Olivia since she's hitting on Kane.
Yeah, I know, Veronica is most people's favorite. I'm just not into the good alignment, which is the only possible way to get with her at the moment.

Veronica is not good per se tho. She is Lawful Neutral if we consider alignments. Juliette is too far gone indeed.

V is most people's favourite? Hmmm....

But to answer your question no. Olivia has always been number one...by a huge country mile, from day 1. Dominique has become a close second throughout the course of the game, I personally feel her character is a lot deeper than it first seems...she is actually quite demure and rather insecure about herself at times which you don't see from the others, even Veronica. (however, we may yet see more to the others...just talking so far).

I actually have other favourites on the side-list characters more than the other sisters. Looks wise sure, Alessandra is pretty damn hot...but her personality doesn't do it for me. Again, all will have saves originally (still doing my extra's currently) but for Olivia to displaces at the top...it would take some major character arc change for me.

 

[kinkyshin]

Don't have a favorite. Have a least favorite though and that's Juliette. Bitch is completely nuts.

Yes! I had Juliette as a preference too, but like you, with the past of the time i´m starting to disenchanting of her, i still liking her but less.
Now i´m going full with Olivia, she is my principal LI.
I have started to like Dominique too in the new game i began some weeks ago, so maybe she is my second.

About Veronica is true many people love her but i don´t see anything special in her , besides her intelligence and power of course.

Olivia is the hottest for sure, but since she is a somewhat unreliable narrator (compared to Kane) I can't fully commit to her. I would never be able to shake off the sense of mistrust with her. All the other sisters are known quantities, you can read them fairly well at this point: Juliette is demoness from hell (that's what makes her alluring), Dominique is conflicted (or not, depending on how you play her), Veronica is knowledgeable and reserved, and Alessandra is clever and scheming. I know what to expect from those 4, but not from Olivia.
Personally I would go for Alessandra on my pure Dom playthrough, but I think I read here that she's unavailiable as a romance option. That's a shame. My 2nd choice would be Juliette, then Dominique, and last - Veronica.

Please tell me there is at least one lady/mistress with pubic hair in the whole game, I think I'm finishing chapter 5 and I haven't found one yet. Yes, a hairy pussy is one of my big fetishes .

Hey bro, what are your most favorite games with hairy pussies?

Ask there. Bad form to discuss other games in a games thread.

I am pasting this from another document so forgive me if the format is a little off on Discord.

After a lot of thought about it all night, I'm going to deviate from my normal style and procedures for Episodes 1-7. More on this below.

When I started Karlsson's Gambit, it was a side hobby and mostly for fun with the small hope that it would make 1000 bucks a month as extra side income. This was in the context of the business I had started making only about 4700 in gross revenue (which had to be split between two partners plus paying for expenses so basically there was no income for the partners yet) the month I released Version 0.1 of the game.

Now, the business I helped start has changed a lot and frankly exploded beyond what I ever hoped…but so has this game. I realized…and really felt for the first time tonight the shift in my mind from it being a ragtag almost scrappy passion project to a business with clients and a customer base much like my main work. And when you think of it in that context, you also realize you have to take things a bit more seriously in terms of setting hard metrics and timelines. So I am.

I receive a lot of messages about the game, and I now understand how mainstream devs in normal games feel about the pressure to release something by a set date even if they're not comfortable with it.

I have never in the past announced a release date feeling any level of discomfort about content at its current status. But I will try that now.

I realize this game has turned into a business like any other. It is not uncommon for me to be working 14-16 hours some days to ensure I put some time into Karlsson's Gambit after already working 10+ hours on normal work. Many people are busy in life and I have no doubt some people are busier than I, but I also believe very, very, few people truly work as hard as I do in day to day life in terms of maximizing each free hour.

I need to be left alone to just work and any further messages and questions to me about a release date will only further drain my passion right now. So I am going to announce my timeline for the release right now, and I will stick to this as best as I can no matter what I have to cut or let go in terms of content. I have decided to scrap a closing scene from the sub side (it was going to be a similar revelation to the dom side with Olivia and Kane alone so dom players or those that see both sides will in a sense see what will happen in Part II on the sub side in a different context) and start it on Part II to 100% ensure I can finish Part I on my timeline below.

Here it is that timeline:

1) End of content generation will be January 7, 2024. Whatever I don't have in yet I will hold until Part II or with short scenes, maybe after the Test Version is out.

2) Editing renders: I will edit renders from January 8 to 11/12. This should be enough time.

3) Music/written dialogue edits: I will do this from January 12 to the 17th. I have usually taken a week to really do this, but will make it work.

4) Tech/Change/Testings: I expect some resistance and issues here but hopefully not much. I will simply work from the 18th as much as I can to ensure it's out before the end of January. Absent truly compelling issues, I should be ok to finish with the content changes now.

To say I am down right now about how I feel about KG is an extreme understatement and was only surpassed one night when Anais talked me off the ledge (it was related to the harassment). But, I also recover quickly and expect to have a different mindset in a few days after not brooding on it all night. I am going to take a full day off from any type of work (something I have not done yet all year) at all sometime this week and be myself.

Even so, I still believe the fundamental shift in my mind about the nature of KG is correct. So I will strive to be more professional and hard on certain metrics/deadlines. Thank you everyone.

Love,
Mistress Tess

There’s an extreme dislike I have for the people that Miss Tess is talking about… ugh

About Veronica is true many people love her but i don´t see anything special in her , besides her intelligence and power of course.

I imagine it's cuz she has that too-cool-for-school attitude, and she's also the only girl who doesn't get off on torture.

Olivia is the hottest for sure, but since she is a somewhat unreliable narrator (compared to Kane) I can't fully commit to her. I would never be able to shake off the sense of mistrust with her. All the other sisters are known quantities, you can read them fairly well at this point: Juliette is demoness from hell (that's what makes her alluring), Dominique is conflicted (or not, depending on how you play her), Veronica is knowledgeable and reserved, and Alessandra is clever and scheming.

Personally I would go for Alessandra on my pure Dom playthrough, but I think I read here that she's unavailiable as a romance option. That's a shame. My 2nd choice would be Juliette, then Dominique, and last - Veronica.

I think that Olivia is a combination of the other 4 sisters. She has Juliette's ruthlessness, Dominique's moral flexibility, Alessandra's cunning and Veronica's curiosity
