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

[Stan5851]

I've taken the unusual step of signing back in -- I can't stop leaks and have been generally ok with them but I just want to be sure that people understand ahead of time that if I shift to Anais' game very soon in the future and let this go -- who specifically was most responsible for this decision. I hope all are doing well!

My English is probably not good enough to catch all the nuances, so I'd like to clarify, are you planning to quit KG development and want to do only Anais game?

And if leaking the game to public access is inevitable anyway (we can't influence that, at least not patron players), does that mean a bleak future for the game? Personally, I don't mind waiting as long as it takes, but with as many patrons as you have, it's just impossible to guarantee anything... I only know of games by one developer (Frozen Synapse) whose patrons never post new game updates before the public release date. But he has many times fewer patrons than you do, so it's much easier to control something like that.

I know a developer who encrypts some images in every update of his game (some "extra scenes") and you can only decrypt them after entering a unique code, but it ended up with local expert programmers just hacking every new update and decrypting everything encrypted.Anyway, I don't know, it's all akin to a tidal wave that man hasn't learnt to deal with yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would relax -- this is mostly about a person I feel deceived me and as I said, I am sure a third party will leak it and am ok with it. I want to make sure people understand this specific person is a bad actor, nothing more and nothing less. I am working hard and hope you all have fun! I would suggest people read the public post carefully -- I am BEYOND happy with my life right now and am only doing this to ensure someone isn't a hero versus whoever else posts it first.

where is this game?

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Not sure whats going on, but whoever is fucking with tess so that she's gotten to this point, knock it off. I rather like this game and would not like to see it abandoned just so we can get the part of the game early for a few days.

 

[TessSadist]

where is this game?

Doesn't exist yet, I am just helping write it. Not involved with the renders/art. Not really a femdom game so not applicable to some fans of this one.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Also, I know you'll probably be gone again due to the blithering perverts on this site, but welcome back, Tess; glad to see that you're doing well.

Don't worry I got it out, haha! I actually came back on here to talk to a dev about Steam but wanted to check in and yes, I did leave F95 before more due to some crazy (I don't use the word crazy lightly) messages. (One threatened to kill himself as a random example) It's amazing how much dick pics and crazy people are out there for the wrong hard working dev, lol.

If anyone has any questions for the next few hours before I head out, now would be the time as I am staying on another message thread with a dev and trying to get some info about Steam and searching assets here...

I don't know where these trolls come from, but I've had Mr. Chatty on my blacklist for a long time, and now BanNTR is on it too.

Ahm... What the fuck?

Your writing is quite good especially if a second language!

 

[TessSadist]

I'll randomly read back say 5 pages and see if anything is fun to answer!

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

I might as well get the clarification. I saw the discord post, but I just want to verify that the only pod member eligible for a possible romance in the future is Angelika.

Just wanted take the opportunity to show my appreciation for your excellent game! It is one of a few handful games that made me want to try and make my own. And also, if I at some point could be allowed back on your discord server that would be great. I was thrown out (twice!) and I have no idea why.

 

[TessSadist]

Nah, for me, it's more like I would like to like Pat. I'm pretty sure I will like her more later... When I get to make her my sub!

Very first KG character I ever made (also testing the tattoo too) -- I have sentimental value with her and although she is not a major character, I still intend an ending for her. (will probably do slides for some characters not major paths, etc.)

I can only do so many pure romances without it bogging down to an impossible branching issue so as of right now, Angelica is a romance option, the others are different in that sense. (I define romance specifically as 1-1 traditional relationship to some extent in this environment)

Thank you, I appreciate it! You got kicked out?

I have been having problems with a triggered (long story) guy that has been harassing Anais and myself but can you let me know your Discord name, you can DM if not wanting to share here. I'm pretty sure the mods have been overzealous with protection but you'd have to see what we see privately to understand just how deranged/unhinged this person is, etc. I am not on Discord for a bit (at a laptop not home computer and don't really have it on here) but I can try and help.

 

[Silver_Crow117]

Miss Tess, on a scale of 1-10 how sexy are both Delilah and Veronica?? Thank you

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

I believe the one thing we've been debating is the four states, but that's more fun speculating. You've really stirred up a hornet's nest with that reveal

Ask any question and get banned on Patreon by this dev

This might be my favorite post in a long time on this site, well done! This to me captures the soul of what I want Katsumi to be like...and a random VIP.
