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

[Stan5851]

I'd guess it's a professional model - the image is too clear and with no defects for a selfie. My assumption would be that it's one of the templates/inspirations for the characters in the game. That's how I would do it at least:
1. look at hot chicks
2. pick several with different complexions for variety
3. try to make models look similar
4. profit..

I do the same, and by the way, the Tess walkthrough, despite the awesome Sancho Mod, is still very relevant for many reasons, including the ones you described.... By the way, while we're on the subject of walkthroughs, I have a question that could also be seen as just thinking out loud, hehe.... I don't think anyone but Tess knows the answer...... In the last pages of the walkthrough, Tess posted some juicy renders with Olivia and other characters, and among those renders on page 49 there is a picture of some girl.

I wonder who that is... At first I thought it might be TessSadist herself, but then I gave up on that thought, knowing how much trouble she gets in with bad actors writing to her in PM.. Maybe it's Anais..

No idea, would imagine is a ref photo used. It's not our sweet Mistress though, as many forget, she has already appeared in KG before Ep8

Quite correct. I can name most of the assets used in KG, many are default stadard and not altered in any way, Des as you mentioned, Chanel is another (Aurora for Gen3/8) from the Daz store. I only know of about three or 4 devs who have actually made their own models in Blender etc and then converted across. A few more have used Daz models they like then further altered them in Blender or ZBrush, however most will just use the morphs that come with an asset as you suggested, or further utility products you can use within Daz to alter a character asset.

Despite all that, I've still not figured out what asset was used for Olivia, nor has anyone informed me yet I'd love to do some custom renders myself of her.

A few more have used Daz models they like then further altered themselves in Belnder, however most will just use the morphs that come with an asset, or further utility products you can use within Daz to alter a character asset.

That's basically what I meant, I should've worded it better. Get IRL model photoes for general inspiration and then tweak an existing 3D model of your choice through headmorph (like you can do in Skyrim or Cyberpunk) till and asset resembles (more or less) the pic. But maybe it's too much work, I have 0 experience in this.

P.S. I still don't like Chloe, no amount of nice renders will make me forget she abused Amy. Nobody gets to abuse Amy. Except me. And Jules if she asks nicely.

The first render with Tess, that must be a sub route, right?

Yeah, I'm sorry too that you were never able to find an original 3D model of Olivia. I know there's a huge section on f95 where you can meet free artists, developers and programmers and have discussions about specific assets and 3D models.. But unfortunately I don't have a direct link to such a thread. I came across it once when I was looking for something else on the forum, but I can't remember now what the specific thread was called...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, perhaps you could try asking Tess (via DM in discord) herself when she's online.

Agree'd. I find Pod W2 interesting actually. Only two of them realistically have a future. We know even the board see no future for Amy other than a plaything. If script wise, only Chloe or Angelica have a chance, I do hope (if on the dom route alone) we get a chance to 'own' her ourselves. I know the scene where Olivia brings her she pretty much says she is ours...but is that temporary for that morning? Does Olivia have that authority? Who told her to introduce Amy to us? Nothing is ever really expanded upon after that. I think if we look after her and get the chance to 'officially own/buy her' then we can at least give her a decent life, even if that is just as a toy.

I have diff views for Pod W2 depending on my saves...some I favor Angelica...some Amy (and make sure to keep her rel points up) and one or two I favor Chloe also (given she owned by Dominique)...be interesting to see what Tess actually decides to do with the 4 girls in the future, given we know for sure Angelica is a T2 dom romance at least.

The first render with Tess, that must be a sub route, right?

It is yes, near the end. Not a general scene you wish to see heh. The red dress one is a set of small custom bonus stuff...the scene with Dominique and Claudia (and...'Dante') is a sub scene route shortly before the end of Ep7 but it is explained who she is (Name is Tess, designer) and that she is Dominiques neighbour (I assume this is in Callista's Hill).

From memory, in the game Tess is an apartment designer (I think she was mentioned at the end of ep.6). I just hope that it won't be more than a neat cameo story-wise, because it's always a temptation to go full Mary Sue to the detriment of the story.

Yup correct. if recall correctly after some backlash (cuz...some peeps really need to get a fucking life), Tess has said her character will never be more than a cameo and never anything interesting, important or plot-related.

Bit like Zach really in a way....

She’ll be part of the hunting party along with Charlotte! and if caught by her (it being optional, since you can try and avoid the individual hunting party members) but she won’t be any importance to the plot… tho if you do get caught by her, you’ll most likely lose time during the gameshow since there’s a certain amount of time to escape it

Don't you worry Crow...I'll be making sure I can send Zachie-pooz and Jake the wrong way...Gotta give Alessa her 256 orgasms right?

while making sure Amy babes comes to no harm

It’ll be interesting to see how the Gameshow will work! (As a sub player) I went back in the Beta and saw that, the maze is split into 2 half’s, one where the more Gentle VIPs are (like Claudia and maybe Alyssa) and the other Half where more Harshers VIPs are (like Phoebe, Celeste)… with probably the hunting party in the middle (Charlotte ,Tess are) she also said this

So I expect Delilah to switch as gentle and cruel!! Which Karlssons you think will participate? Tess said Veronica isn’t…

Im also wondering how this would work…

Miss Tess saying Zach,Jake and Kane (and other pods) can survive, win- but also can run out of time or lose… how would losing to a specific character work? I’m assuming they give you the chance to give up or not? And also I’m assuming running out of time is like if there’s a facesitting competition and you get knocked out because of ur previous choices (like wrong food or injuries from the hunting party!?) and wake up with less time than you originally had Idk Lol

Ahh interesting...didn't know the first part (must have missed that convo on disco).

Yeah hmmm..not sure how either will work to be honest...especially not the gentle/hard splits in the show...maybe a points thing..or again even a time thing...do well at the start you can maybe avoid the more disciplined ladies? *shrugs* We know Alessa going to be involved, perhaps mainly as just a 'viewer' but she is sure to get involved. I would imagine dominique will also likely be roped in...and perhaps which 'side' she will be on will depend on the route you have taken with her, leaning her more into good or bad perhaps? Maybe perhaps the two halves are split down the middle? Go left...oh shit...try and stay right...ohh...not too bad after all, as opposed to say front to back/start to end? Sounds like a coding nightmare in all honesty heh.

As for the win/lose/whatever...maybe if you don't get out...there will be a temp point situation (Tess seems to like those lately)...and we know 2 lots of temp points are carrying over from 7 into 8 on the sub path...so maybe not getting out but just losing (as opposed to dying) means a day with Phoebe in the dungeon...something most likely not very pleasant...but hey, you're not dead lmao.

It sounds really interesting to me actually and sure Tess will work it well and one of the rare ocassions where it would actually be interesting to see the show from both perspectives, helping and as a participant, espeically given that we know the Pod W2 girls are also involved. Should be a lot of fun.

May be a spoiler, but who exactly is Charlotte btw She just a side-character accompanying Tess?

It does seem like You can lose in the gentle area as well which makes me think you can give up to any of the characters .. even before making it into the harsher area

also this is Charlotte , she’s going to be one of the main girls from the New Paris faction! Tess is more of an optional branching character that can catch you… if you let her..

Claudia I'll agree with you...I like her on both routes actually, she seems pretty chill in general and has her head screwed on.

So having recently gone through the whole game, I am left with a question. Elena/Pat/Sam inform the prisoners that the rehabilitation program is a 6-month ordeal, however, since the gameshow is on Day 8 in the game, and the program didn't actually start until the prisoners' arrival at the Joy Facility on Day 3 (or did it actually start on the morning of Day 4 with the branding?), meaning that the 16-24 prisoners aren't even a week into the program. The gameshow is clearly a way to eliminate very nearly all of the participants, and then with as fast as things are moving for both Olivia's and DomKane's rise, I don't see the end of the program, or the Gambit, being that far away. So, was "the program will last six months" just propaganda, or did Tess originally plan for a longer timespan?

No, it's said a few times by certain characters (on both Dom/Sub paths) that the '6 months' was a total lie. It's there purely for the entertainment of VIP guests, nothing more and that many won't even finish the program. You're also informed a couple of times that no one is ever going to get a job with the company regardless of how well they may do (MC obviously, an exception on the dom route).

Game Day 04 (GD04) is also Joy Facility Day 2 and the start of the program (Program Day 01), though you are correct the program does not 'officially' start until Game Day 05.

Yup. She is surprisingly open and honest in the walkthrough (now she is doing it herself) about what may or may not be happening and making you aware of consequences etc. Spoilarfic to hell...but great footnotes to read for those wanting to delve deeper.

In fact hell, at this point I'd call it more of an in-depth guide than a walkthrough.
