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

[MilesEdgeworth]

interesting theory on the slave, but said slave couldve easily felt the vibrations and knew her shoe dropped. Would be weird for her to lie to her mother of all people. Regardless an interesting theory to consider.

As for alessandra, she's just being iago at the moment, I doubt she gives a fuck who dies, she's aiming for chaos cuz everybodys getting a bit too comfortable.

Only fuck Kane could not only take over not one but two of the biggest companies in the game to become mega chad of the world

But speaking of murders, I'd be more concerned about which of her sisters Alessandra plans to kill (the scene in ch7).

It's the scenes. When Olivia is officially introduced as a family member, she said that, "maybe someone else has to step down for... unfortunate reasons before Elena do...". Then she say it more explicitly when talking with Patricia, saying that she expected that one of her sisters would have killed another one already. But I'm not sure that she have a name in mind. We know who's the most likely to act that way, but not the reason why herself want it to happen.
Yet we can make a guess. She hinted that she would prefer Elena to still be part of the board, and like she did a big seduction play with Olivia when she brought her back where she belong. So, she possibly expect to win Olivia's trust, and then have both her and Elena to back her up in the board ; two voices always guaranteed is an interesting luxury when there's seven members.
Ideally, the sister that die should then be either Dominique or Juliette. Because Veronica would lead to a too hazardous situation. Yvette send one of her most loyal servant into slavery, just because she talked badly about Veronica, so, she would hate to the end of times whoever would kill her. And if she discover that Alessandra is the reason behind this, she would systematically oppose to whatever she want.
There's also another issue with her. She said that she plot in the background, but so far officially we only know one thing she did, framing Kane during the trial ; the tall girl with short black hairs mixed with red at the bottom can only be her loyal Patricia. And unofficially everything point to her being Grym Gudinna.

Personally, I wouldn't want Veronica or Dominique to get hurt, because they are hardly the only sisters who haven't forgotten what humanity is and whose personalities we can change for the better.

Yet Alessandra define herself as being a softy compared to her sisters ; while not really acting like it.

Be be reassured, as the story is so far, Dominique can't die. She's the only one in contact with Cole, and since he's Kane father for now it wouldn't be story wise to have her killed.
For Veronica it's more complicated. She's mandatory to save Astrid's life, but is Astrid this important to the story ? There's also the renew project, but while it would be harder without her, she share the lead with Dominique so the project would continue even without her. But, as I said above, it's a risky move for Alessandra, especially after hinting in public, face to the whole board and witnesses, that it's something that can happen. If Veronica die, whoever would kill her there's high risk that Yvette believe that Alessandra is the reason behind this.

The only one who could die without it having an impact on the story, as far as we actually know about the said story, is Juliette.
She's doing nothing more than enjoying her life, so the main part of the story would stay the same without her. She's also the one with the less odds since Veronica is protected by Kiyomi, and is protecting Dominique. Plus, let's be honest, is there doubts that she's the less liked character ? It would be a surprise if she die, but a pleasant one for most of us.
On a technical point of view, Juliette is also the sister with the less screen presence. Enough for her to appear as a disliked monster, but not enough for her to play a role in the story. She surely have more content than what I seen, but it's in regard of Olivia that it matters the most here. It's where we learn the most about the sisters' schemes, and globally Juliette don't care about Olivia, while both Dominique, Veronica and, in a less measure Alessandra, all tried to have her attention and trust.

But in the end I'm not sure that one will effectively die. It's good to keep the tension high, and raise questions regarding Alessandra intent, but it don't need to happen.

Considering there's more than one ending to this game.
In this insane world where people are enslaved, no one who commits this atrocity has the right to live.
I hope for an end where I destroy both companies and slaughter all their employees.
Give me a fucking riot.

Is there a android port with the Sancho mod?

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

As for deaths, before she left, Tess said in the end that everybody could die by the end (including our three protagonists) except one person. I assume the gambit queen is the exception, but ya never know

Gambit Queen...pffft.
If there can be only one (que the Highlander theme song), my dollar is on Sparks

Currently the porting process for 'Droid is to take said device to your local retailer and trade it in on a PC, Mac, or Linux based proper system. That'll get you done.

Hehe... If you're playin' a Paladin in this total dystopia that could actually be an appropriate ending. Hehe... Burn it all down!! Keep the best women and start all over.

Veronica's brain is useful, but she doesn't need her arms and legs for that. The rest of the board are liabilities and should be disposed of if given the opportunity.

But yeah, the story paths may not allow us to go Full Blood Lust on everyone who's wronged any of the three player characters. We'll see how it shakes out.

Hmmm... three characters.... I would debate that there's only two being Kane and Seth. Olivia is a shill and completely compromised at this point, there's little denying that in her actions on either Dom or Sub male protagonist path. Just my personal opinion which doesn't mean a damn thing of course.

Speaking of which, there aren't many Chapters left to fit all the game content into. At one time, Tess wrote that there would be 12 chapters in all (most likely). And we still don't even have Olivia's Welcome Party after Ch7, no Fashion Show, and no Game Show. Honestly, I'm even a little confused and don't really understand how it's all going to play out. It's basically 3 big events (?), but how long it will take to produce them, I can't say.

I may be wrong, and Fashion Show of slaves will be part of the Game Show event, for those players who refused to help Katsumi, but it's still not a small event that is unclear when it will be done. And that's not to mention that Tess still needs to make weighty content for the female pod being trained by Kane (Dom K5+), the main story content of Gambit and separate content (scenes) for Dom and Sub routes. I hope Tess has thought of everything.

 

[gregers]

no Fashion Show

I think (sic) the fashion show already happened on the sub path. On the dom path Kane may (if you picked that option) have helped plan the show, but it presumably happened quietly in the background without his involvement. One of those places where the dom path skips a section of content rather than show an alternative version, as is the case with many of Olivia's domme scenes.

I take your point, but think she is at least intended as a player character, so I try to play her as such despite the occasional hiccoughs.

 

[motseer]

Veronica seems to be the most redeemable. Elena and Dominique are as well but only if Kane makes certain choices. Maybe it's her intellectual detachment that makes her seem less corrupt. I'll save Junko, Raven and the new (sweet) assistant along with pod W2 if possible. The fact that Kane (so far) can make all +good choices and get away with it is a stark contrast to the sadistic dystopia but I, for one, am glad Tess is writing the story with this possibility.

Edit: I didn't mean to leave out Seth and Olivia. Family is a given for a Paladin.

I think you may be right that that's the intent. But one of the other characters remarks at some point (Elena or Yvette I think) that she's simply better at masking her cruelty than the others, and that certainly chimes more with my view of her.

 

[Sancho1969]

Making that screenshot made me realize - Dang it... I forgot to mention in the bullet points of new SanchMod features: Further customization of the MiniStat screen. Note that you can click on the Stat headers of those that mention the easily interpreted "Click to Open/Close" to collapse or expand the stat section data:

​

It's just another small example of all these little minor tweaks that will hopefully allow you to set the UI the way you want or like, not how someone else (me) thinks you should have it.

Hehe Yep, with each new update, I duck - looking for the sucker punch Tess has added in for my Good Dom path.
