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

[Maviarab]

Yeahhh, I'll hold on to that for quite a while then lmao. I don't have the time right now to do the whole first part in its entirety again, especially in 2 or more paths. I'll stick with my evil dom juliette path for now even though I prefer the other sisters more.

Hehe fair enough.

The problem with asking for saves is (other than no one appreciates it) is that regardless of it not being wise to get Ren'py saves of the internet from random people (very easy to virus infect), in KG particularly, at the end of Ep7, there were:

173 Flags
40 different point variables for Characters
40 other misc point variables
and 21 point variables directly for Kane & Olivia themselves

You can see how asking for a save is a rather pointless endevour given the multitude of variances.

Fair enough, seems to me that the dev should have included some kind of path maker at the start of the second "season" starting with 0.8. Or at least a built-in gallery that shows most scenes, if not everyone of them, so that you can kinda "see" what you're missing and try to do some other paths.

Wouldn't be necessary if the game only took a few hours to get to 0.8 but it's far from the truth in this case. 0.1 to 0.7 is quite long even if you're in turbo skip mode.

Again...exactly how is she going to do that? Dev time doing that is far better spent on new content, and by the time you have answered all the questions (and believe me, there would be a lot), you could have gone through 1-7 again yourself which is why this was not done.

Or at least a built-in gallery that shows most scenes

A gallery will be coming at some point in the future but it's not her priority and neither (personally) would I want it to be.

Wouldn't be necessary if the game only took a few hours to get to 0.8 but it's far from the truth in this case. 0.1 to 0.7 is quite long even if you're in turbo skip mode.

It may be because I know this inside out at this stage but certainly on the DomPath, I can CTR skip through 1-7 in less than 15 minutes. You can also right click on skip and go straight to the next choice too btw if you were not aware.

A path maker for this game would take a colossal amount of dev time, be prone to bugs, and generally just isn't needed. The questionnaire itself would need branching based on some of the flags used and I'd much rather Tess devote her time to new content and existing fixing bugs. Personal experience using the College Kings path maker has ruined my hope of a dev ever getting one of those right.

Also, it takes less than a few hours to get to 0.8. Ctrl-skip your way through and make your choices. I maintain multiple saves and sometimes just replay the game for the hell of it to look for new/missed info. The only runs that would take a decent amount of time are runs where I'm literally experiencing new content, like a fresh sub route run where I'm actively trying to pay attention to everything. Even then, it's less than an afternoon for a route.

Yep. By my calculations, this story is designed for 32 separate play throughs... Minimum.

But I hope it will still be the scene with Angelica and the rest of our girls, screenshots from which Tess posted some time ago.

were they posted here by any chance?

 

[Maviarab]

Q&A updated.

 

[Bloker997]

Any big changes in game so far if i become a vipers pet or however that's called, just trying some sub paths.

Doing this off the top of my head so I might forget something, I normally pick Junko for sub routes unless I need something specific from Juliette (like the early K3):

Who knows, it may have been published here as well, but you'll have to look for it. But to avoid wasting your time looking for it, here are these 2 renders together that Tess posted on July 1 in her Discord.

Moreover, besides these two images, her post also contains, for example, renders from the pool scene we've already seen (KaneDom, Olivia and Cassandra), so it makes sense that in the final version of pt2 we should expect a scene with Angelica and mb the rest of our girls. At least I really hope so.

Those are from the SecretSub route.

Fuck. This is totally lame.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

two hottest girls in the game and I have to be a secret sub to get em. smdh

Well..get one of them right now....Angelica is a T1 now remember....she is coming.

 

[Stan5851]

Angelica is a T1 now remember....she is coming.

Then why did Tess have to let us in pt1 choose that girl who will control the rest of the wpod2 girls, to end up just not showing that scene at all? Or show it, but in p3, when the most dramatic events of this show will probably start? IMO, pt2 is the perfect time for our girls to show off in a relaxed setting.

And I'm not even talking about Angelica T1 love rs, it's already clear that it's unlikely to be before Ep9-10...if only simply because there needs to be some kind of lead-in to this affair, 1-2-3 scenes showing the dynamics of KaneDom and Angelica's rs and giving a reason to develop that relationship with her on an deeper level.

I would imagine (perhaps wrongly) given what we know they are doing in-game, that our pod will be serving the VIP guests at the dinner, which is a scene that should be coming in Final. As for Angelica as a LI, I would guess that it was easier for Tess to keep her content as she had pre-planned (when she was a T2) rather than making sweeping changes to her content in this particular update.

Well, that could be it. Just in case, I asked about Angelica and the other girls on Tess's Discord. I don't know if she'll answer, but we'll see. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the company of our lovely Olivia and the sexiest Dr. Chastain.

I love this vn but the way it's going the evil route will be comply gone by the end of the game yes there is still some evil but the screen with Oliva where you get a choice to kill the k1 or not piss me off Olivia get to keep her demo flag but Kane loses his what to stop the tolls coming up with sick shit for Oliva to harass Tess with how well will she handed that.

The test version is no different from the final if you are playing the Dom route look at the last test where I screen was added to the subroute in the final version. Are you guys willing to download another 9 GB or so just to see the VIP dinner screen or the other so-called screen? I got to see how the story ends.

You have no idea how conflicted I was when I ran secret sub and bumped into her. Actually, you might since I posted about but still...of all the people Tess could have picked, I think she makes the most sense in a secret sub route. Across all the playthroughs, I see her as a variant of Kane without Callista's protection. She's smart enough to survive and will 100% take advantage of any opportunity provided but also not 100% sadistic either (she seems impressed if you "instruct" her to miss Jake during the carriage race).
