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

Mistress Tess — Today at 11:18 PM

I accidently deleted my message being so tired! I was just saying that my trip was AWESOME and had made my next few years great for sure! This single client is almost a dream but I am having to hire a few people out there for specific political/business reasons so will at some point go back and forth a few times this year but it will be very nonintrusive with KG. In fact, this client is far more lucrative but generally less pure work by hours compared to other clients. Heh, I even negotiated business class tickets for on Qatar Airways for travel.

(for me, BY FAR my favorite airline overall especially compared to American companies in general ugh)

But I need to adjust to time zone again, so resting off and on a day or so to recalibrate. I will have a big update soon discussing a few key points (I have more bullet points but listing a few here)

1) Plan for Part II
2) Formal joint recruitment post for KG and Anais' game, time to get a bit more help.
3) Plan for evil dom path (I have decided but want to discuss it with a few people before sharing my initial thoughts)
4) Final steps for Part I (walkthrough and basic corrections but no tweaks beyond now will impact saves at all current Final will work next part)
5) My upgrade plans for computer(s) and timing of it how I will write a bit more during the hopefully about one week I take to port over all my assets, files, and such to a 4090 computer.
6) I did manage to write a few scenes but not the walkthrough (need two screens to be faster with it) and will get on this after this weekend.
And the first formal preview picture of Part II!

Projection from screenshot: Clearly Dominique has discovered that Cole has flown the coop, leaving the yellow roses as his "calling card" (this shot makes me wonder if this was a timed video message, especially since it hasn't been a week yet for her to check up on him). Is that Kwame's wife hanging from the ceiling on the right?

It very much looks like Amara yes.

If Veronica is Grymm the 3-3 board tie could be like you point, but... Alessandra is too unreliable and opportunist to be solidly counted on any group. Tess even commented that here recently.
https://f95zone.to/threads/karlssons-gambit-v0-8-test-part-i-grym-gudinna-games.50840/post-12759141

She "goes with the flow".
It's more like she would be the wild card even more than Elena, IMHO.

Veronica's group (Veronica, Astrid, Yvette) is tied together because they're family.
The other group (Alessandra, Dominique, Juliette) is tied together because Veronica scares them. That's the only thing that binds them together. The fact that Alessandra is opportunistic wouldn't affect that at all, and it's very possible that the other sisters don't even realize that Alessandra is opportunistic and ambitious. Her sisters all think Alessandra is just enjoying life, not really aware that she's been manipulating things behind the scenes. And, if she is in fact Grym Gudinna, then perhaps even Alexander Karlsson didn't even realize it as he says in the opening scene that she fooled even him.

You all must forgive Dom, she wants to be good, but she had such an evil upbringing, she had no real chance of becoming a good person. Which explains her moral flexibility. If she had a better role model, she'd probably be better.

I'd like to add a few things to the "inconsistency of the sisters" discussion.

For Veronica, its a case of Kane's moral compass overriding her logical side. Something similar to Kane saving the nurse when all factors pointed to failure if they made such an attempt.

Alessandra goes with the flow. Since Kane is a dom, she keeps her true nature hidden and encourages his dom side. She'll reveal her true self if he shows himself as a secret sub.

Is Olivia really liked? Dom and Juliette aren't particularly fond of her. She just has that new car smell and the advantage of not being raised by Alexander. The longer she stays, the more people who will dislike her.

On the boat scene, Juliette did confess to liking Olivia, but then Dominique convinced her that Olivia's just a Veronica puppet, and Juliette's treatment of Katsumi in Seth's torture shows how Juliette feels about Veronica puppets (which she openly labels Katsumi of being in that scene).

And, if she is in fact Grym Gudinna, then perhaps even Alexander Karlsson didn't even realize it as he says in the opening scene that she fooled even him.

In the lab, Dominique confesses that the only candidate besides herself that she would vote for is Veronica. While Veronica challenges Dominique's identity, she doesn't challenge her claims of loyalty/voting, enforcing the truth of Dominique's statement. Dominique was also convinced that she had Veronica's vote secured, and is thereby shocked (and apparently hurt) by Veronica's support of Olivia. The only way I could see Dominique turning against Veronica is she discovers how much Veronica has been stacking the deck in Olivia's favor behind the scenes. Juliette also observes to Dominique's face that the eldest will never vote for Juliette, and therefore any alliance proposition is clearly a strategy for Dominique to strengthen her own position in the vote. In a power struggle, Veronica is the biggest threat to anyone, due to her control and resources, yet no one seems in a hurry to take her out (possibly because her life insurance policy that she used against Alexander is still in effect, so if anyone kills her, all the shock chips go dead, and their information destroyed). That leaves Dominique as the perceived threat against the hedonists, and I believe it is her that Alessandra wants dead for that reason.

Sancho1969 Is there something wicked coming in March? .

Indeed... soon, very very soon. I'm ready (I've been ready), the mod is updated just not fully tested. Many birds have been chirping in my window so a "leak" is all but imminent... sooner than later is my guestimate. I'm not involved in supplies in any way so all I can do is offer probabilities.

Edit: (Sees posts above), nevermind, guess that Eagle has landed.

 

[Bulletproof 2301]

Android?

 

[Mr. Chatty]

You want it quicker you know what to do.

God forbid her paying patrons don't want to release it here....especially when Tess has said she will give a copy (for free) to an uploader.

So in the end it was a leaker, and not your mistress, you have been lying all this time. I was right afterall

Cool story

women act like this all the time dude, she think you are a misogenist if you act like a man, and you are a pussy and not good for her if you are friendly, the only difference is if she think you are hot or not, take 365 days and 50 shades of grey, now change the male lead for a fat 40yo man

"Rape Culture"
"Patriarchy" and bla bla bla would be the tags in the movie

if she is not into you, being nice = bad or pretending, not interacting at all = weirdo, interacting with her = harrasing her i see this all the time, when you say a chick is hot in a movie = you are objecfying her, if you say you dont like the nudity = you are a incel

 

[Akkarin69]

Finally a hero. Thank you!

Is there an Android version??

Is there an Android version??

Yes (of the VN).

My one cup of coffee at 4am analysis and differences between 0.8TPartI & 0.8.1FinalA:

Typos/grammatical fixes:
I didn't count them, but a lot.

Removed variable (from initialization): 1
tessdomeyes
(this is a mistake TessSadist, it was removed from initialization but it's still referenced in-game):
(someone needs to alert her on this bug issue imho)

Added variable: 1
sethrefusejk (this is used and set to True in the bro menu choice during Astrid's "(I'm not sure I want do this...I'll turn Astrid down.)". This currently changes only two dialogue lines total...two.

Minor conditional changes that only alter some dialogue: 1

Scene added that contains a menu choice with submenu for what was missing after the current menu choice: "(I'll take a risk and tell Erica I'm willing to go see Delilah and Celeste with Zach...maybe I can help either or both of us there.)"

New static images referenced: 1
e8vtwo19b

New animations referenced (which are coded in the scripts a bit wonky, they should be declared as images in the initialization file to be proper imo) that replace previous static images: 36

Easter egg scene added (only for Sub paths... no Easter egg for Doms) - SanchoSadFace

Tess' (now infamous) ending Episode scene added

That's it folks, a complete summary of differences from my hungover, very early-morning analysis. The script itself has already been ported for SanchoMod but I can't test for integrity until the whole enchilada is available (preferably in compressed form). This is me simply reading every single line of code, not from actual "play time".

Regards.

Edit:
TessSadist, here's another bug... but it's a no harm no foul issue. See my note in orange below:

BTW, the replied to post still holds true for E8 FinalA...including the two non-critical bugs mentioned in that post. Just an FYI.
