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

[Silver_Crow117]

Tess,

“Part 2 will have a slightly longer sub path than dom path, and Part 3 will be slightly longer for the dom path than the sub side. The main reason for this is because they are in a sense two "separate realities" but still have some connective tissue. So some of the sub side scenes are going to be slightly tweaked (not most, just a few of them) and the dom side will see them too but with Jake/Zach rather than Kane being in any of those scene. But the dom side is slightly behind in the timeline in Part 2. (not much, but just a bit)”

“I am still going to shift to the dom path soon and try and close out the episode, but I wanted to make sure people understand my plan for Parts 2 and 3. Part 3 I am also going to split into faster releases because it is much easier from a narrative do to this specific update that way.”

I think this was always going to be the case somewhat. While scenes and render count for both are pretty even we have long been discussing exactly what DomKane will be doing and just how that will be shown, where as I think we are were/all pretty much agreed on what SubKanes content will be like as he is actually 'in' the show while DomKane is just helping 'run' it.

All that aside, common in many VN's, lot of bitching at the moment in the ORS thread for its latest update. The problem with an 'episodic' VN like these is when waiting, one can be a little disapppointed there is a lack of narrative on a certain path etc while, when complete, it will flow much better and no one will ever notice any perceived gaps in content/story arcs as it will be a full story played in one go and have a much smoother experiance.

Eiether way, looking forward to the start of the game show proper!

I haven't played my Dom Kane path on K8 for two months now. IIRC, was there a path where you completely quit the game show and therefore didn't see any of that content (thousands of renders)?

Yeah you can choose to not participate in the game show, not too much missed in part 1, will probably miss much more in part 2 and 3.

Also if you don't do game show, you get a scene with one of my 2 personal favs, Veronica. Exclusive to turning game show down.

That is correct. I have that on one of my saves purely to see how Tess handles it (does that Kane do much at all, does it affect future interactions with people etc etc as it is 'flagged') but Tess has explicitly stated that doing that you will miss a lot of Part 2.

Tess,

Part 3 I am also going to split into faster releases because it is much easier from a narrative do to this specific update that way.”

This means part 3 is going to release divided in other two parts or just she is going to start releasing updates quickly. Is just my english, i´m confused

 

[Silver_Crow117]

It means Miss Tess will upload part 3 in increments. So instead of waiting for the whole part it’ll be splint into even smaller parts where there more content over time then just waiting for the whole part!

Its kinda like instead of waiting to eat a whole pizza at once, your eating slices instead because their coming out faster!

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

she's already split chapters into parts now she's splitting parts of chapters int parts? this is starting to get insanely complicated

Yeah, seems uneccessary to me...7 months for an update this size is fine to me. I'd just carry on as is for me, prefer to have a good meaty update than little bite sized things where barely any route gets content or only one path gets content. All swings and roundabouts really isn't it, both have pros and cons.

Key words, “much easier from a narrative do to this specific update that way” so We see specifically how that works for this specifically for part 3

Oh thanks... I don´t like how it sounds

I´m a "one update release" man, i don´t have many problems now because this parts are usually big, but i´m not sure how big are going to be the parts of the actual parts.

Anyway, we will see how good or bad it is.

Reminds me of 'Pimp my Ride':

I actually agree here also. The people who do monthly updates that can be finished in 10 minutes dont seem near as enjoyable.

I am playing the game along with Sancho mod and it was correct for the most part.
But at some point Sancho note said that K7 is possible with junkoromance route open & good4+ by the end of the episode 4 or 5 (don't remember exactly). I met the criteria but still there was no promotion. I also use URM so i know that k7 can be achieved by that point but why didn't it work?
Also URM's search function doesn't work and game just gets stuck for the android port by DA. That Never happened before in any VN.

Need to have chosen/got Dominique as first sponsor to hit K7 there. There is another way of getting it but it's a little more convulated. It ultimately doesn't matter as it you meta the points Olivia will override Chanel's advice at the beach house and rank you up appropriately anyway.

Okayyy so is it still possible to get k7 and k8 in upto the current released version if i have vercorina (or whatever the name is. I am not very good with names) as my only sponsor while playing dom route with few good(5) but most evil (14) points?

Oh and is junko romance route really necessary? I only went for that to get k7 but as you said that still gets overridden so can i get k7/k8 without Junko romance route?

Just make sure you max your SisTeam points (Olivia)....providing you actually do align with her and will support her. If you don't then I don't think it is possible. Need to appease her to get her to give you max rank at the time.

Don't need her route for it no but it's the simplest/quickest way to get K7 'early'. However, once Dominique promotes you (when she shows you your 'upgraded accomodation'), the next morning Junko will visit you, you can just dump Junko at that point by refusing her 'services' with no repurcussions.

Junko romance only really important for the revolution path/ending as you have to be on her route in order to get on it.

Continued the same playthrough as mentioned before and still landed k9. Olivia herself suggested to promote MC to k8 when Chanel recommend to leave him on k7.
Anyhow now done with season 1 but I am considering waiting for few more updates before starting S2 so there is enough content.
Thanks for all your advice. You have been very helpful.

Always a pleasure when people are genuinly interested in the story VN.
