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

[Hantol]

K1 Yes, that’s pretty much death, but k2-4 will have the choice of joining their faction or not, so he wouldn’t really bet left to suffer

We also decide the fate of a K1 Kane, don't we? I mean with our decisions.
So whether he dies is up to us. Otherwise, Callista's promise would be broken.

Somewhat...to an extent....yes...no. Getting yourself to K1 leaves Kane on a very thin and slippery tihghtrope and depending on prior choices/points/etc...then it may not be possible no.

All but 2 characters...can die and Kane isn't on that exclusive list.

So if I understand correctly, K1 Kane will definitely die, ergo there is no outsider ending. Or K1 Kane can survive (saved by his family)

You're asking questions and trying to confirm something only Tess knows....and will not tell anyone.

All we do know, is yes he is able to die if you make the right/wrong decisions, have right/wrong flags set to true or the right/wrong number of points with someone (or however Tess decides to implement it). Or yes he can survive, how...again..no one knows but it is ulikely to be by Cole as he does not care about Kane as much as Callista does.

Because for example in the walkthrough it was "K1 could be a dead end". From this, I concluded that even in the case of K1, we decide whether Kane survives to the end. (for example, others save him)

I just saw this and thought for awhile this same exact shit and had wondered how many others caught that also.... I mean it probably wouldn't have even been an hour, more like 20 freakin minutes pass and this so called son of such a genius who is praised for so many things and she made him do so many different extra task growing up..... I'm guessing picking up on very important details in conversations from his mom's previous bff Elena and that one huge detail missed he had just heard BOTH PARENTS STAYED/USED in that room and then very next scene that plays out. Funny though in this update Olivia said something about Elena mispoke or something along the lines of that to her right before Kane has to be told that Cole is his father and of course the slow moron still has nothing else going for himself or still not being able to figure out or even try to start placing all the things he has gotten nor picked up on any of the "IS" talk bout his mom being so great and quickly changed to "WAS" twice maybe more about his mom still being alive! Olivia was rightfully just bout to tell him but backed out which that would have been far best time before he learns that from another and confronts both Mommy and Olivia which could get ugly fast

Apparently he's finally figured it out.

Being the first to reveal Kane's father to him will likely earn her more than enough understanding from Kane. I imagine most of his anger will be directed at Callista when he finds out, more so than at anybody who kept that secret. Though I wonder if Cassandra will try to use that information. Doubtful , cuz my Olivia has been hooking her up, but still something to consider

Well of course we decide. Whether we will know what we are deciding is another matter. Most likely yes he is cooked at K1 but there will be a way to save him. How, we...do...not...know. However, I would be very surprised if after a set sequence of events it then won't be completely out of our hands. Choices in KG do matter.

 

[Stan5851]

They could save a K1 Kane too...if they wanted to.

And why save him? If Kane was stupid enough to become a K1 slave, then maybe he should deal with his problems on his own.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Honestly, I think Kane is more than protected by Callista and probably Veronica, where he won't die until the end of the game. Not to mention that his semen, which apparently can't impregnate anybody at the moment, is very very important to the Karlssons.

Well, to be fair, there's enough samples of it floating around and in Veronica's 'hands'....

However, after Kane's death, there are no more semen. The amount taken will run out.

I was kinda fearful making Olivia evil and submissive would only result in clashes but this update washed away all my worries.

Can't wait to build my Juliette, (Evil) Olivia and Dominique triumvirate.

I'm sure she already has enough in cold storage. This is Veronica we're talking about here.

Do you believe when you donate (or put your own on ice) they want gallons and gallons from you?

Maybe Kane's fate will be what bene tleilax did with women.

Let's say the Karlsson Gambit is very good because there are an amazing number of choices. So far there has been no dead end. That's why it would be strange in the end if K1 Kane couldnt be saved at all.
If Kane is already unworthy and unable to live alone, his powerful family saves him.

I don't know why "everyone" is so excited about K1 slave, but if anyone is interested, here's what Tess replied.

Personally, I think this pathetic worm shouldn't be saved, because it's only his own fault for what he's turned into...But that's just me and my personal opinion...

 

[Xilium]

There is no genre/tag definition dear. There's an actual dictionary official definition
[/QUOTE]

Just to respond to this criticism in particular, there is no academic dictionary definition of femdom/female domination, as far as I'm aware. Some dictionaries will reference its usage among the BDSM subculture, but not formally define it.

Female and domination as individual words are defined and was what I was referring to as a "literal definition" in my post.

Thanks for the quote. It's not easy, but it isn't impossible either.

Excited isn't the word I'd use for me. I'm morbidly curious (as I am with most of the sub route stuff) and have a K1 save just to see where it can go. I'll toss it in a spoiler just in case.

We tend to hate dead ends in VNs. Smart devs know to give a way out to avoid backlash. I see it as more of a business decision than a desire to actually save him at that state. There's at least one person who will play this, stumbling along the way, get killed, and then gripe about it.

Oh, and what exactly would an 'academic dictionary' look like?

Even in the 'Oxford' learners dictionary (which is used academically as a source of English), I think you will find my definition is the same. Unless you are now going to try and tell us that the most informative and concise dictionary in the world,

Is wrong?
