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

[Pendrell]

AFAIR, after the voting results and after some more time had passed after that, Tess decided to remove the future "demon" Kane, but keep the Olivia Demoness content. That is, as I understand it, the "normal" (non-extreme "demon") EvilDom path will not be removed, however, the romance with Juliette and something else will be adjusted.

Spoiler: Over the summer, Tess wrote about it, but as usual, rather vaguely.

I think it'd be a great shame if the "evil dom" stuff was removed or changed (does that just refer to future plans or include what we've already seen so far?) I particularly liked the bits with Juliette/MC and Olivia/MC when they were both aligned. I'm not sure of the background to why the dev feels the need to make changes; if I've read her comments correctly it seems like it's not her preferred choice but rather a reaction to something else, but it's a bit unclear.

I guess it's hard to know how much of a big deal all this is because we don't know what the original plans were and how the new roadmap will differ in terms of actual onscreen content. But as a relative newcomer to the game who really enjoyed some of the aspects that appear to be within scope of being revised, I'd be disappointed if the game veered too far away from what we've seen so far.

I have to say, I'm not a fan of the suit. It looks goofy - the shoulders are way too big and the waist is too small. The fabric is also kinda ass, something that a grandpa would wear. Navy blue or simple black would look better (imho).
P.S. Is that Taylor?

not sure who it is! there's no face shot

A lot of Patreon subs were real-life Evil Doms and they were getting more and more vitriolic/hostile towards Tess, the harassment was increasing and there were more threats than usual.

Tess decided to remove the content to calm the waters and maybe indirectly get this kind of people/"bad actors" to unsub, so you don't want so much toxicity .

There was quite a heated discussion about this news in this thread back in the day, you can check it out for yourself, but in brief (although who am I kidding, there will be a wall of text again, heh), according to Tess herself, she went ahead with the removal of the demon flag (a small extreme offshoot of the regular EvilDom route) because

The only intrigue remains is what the interaction with Juliette will be now for those Dom players who have chosen the path of EvilDom and her as their LI. Well, let's see what Tess comes up with so as not to alienate those players who deliberately chose Juliette...

So much this! I usually only play one route per game and this is my only route/save, so if she really kills this route completely then I'm gone. But I really don't think so.

Many thanks for those responses, it's helpful to have that context. I think it's a shame if we don't get the content that was planned and which the dev herself wanted to produce. Whatever the right and wrongs of what led to that outcome, it's a shame. Not being on the receiving end of what the dev was experiencing from those subscribers, I can't judge whether her decision was justified or not - I guess she did what she felt she needed to do, and I respect that. I just hope the Juliette path still retains what I liked about it (the MC and Juliette being bad together and partners in crime), and ditto with Olivia. That's still possible, I suppose, even if the content is toned down a bit.

I’ll do one dom photo…

Silver, it looks like you took a long time to pick the most boring picture (though I too wonder what kind of girl is talking to KaneDom.) We're having fun here too, albeit in a different way than it happens on submission route).

Spoiler: No yawning, it's time for action

You know, Stan, that Juliette is the most beautiful of all the roses, with her elegance and silken steps she dazzles everyone, and her beady eyes turn to stone any brazen villain who tries to harm her.

Jules is all love and charm .

Yeah, Juliette's figure is beautiful, especially her butt, but let's be honest - all the K. sisters in this game (not to mention the lower status girls) have near perfect bodies. However, those steely serial killer eyes repel me, especially knowing what she's capable of. For me N1 is still Olivia, right after her is Angelica, and after this couple are all the other Karlsson sisters...And Juliette I consider only as a submissive slave, in the case if Tess will allow the Dom players to do it and if Jules does not die before. But everyone's tastes are different, so I guess everyone will keep their own opinion.

For me, Jules is perfect as an evil Kane, as a good Kane I think I'd rather run or die alone. I don't like Junko, Olivia I've seen as a sister and the rest has some evil in it so I'll pass .

That's why a neutral Kane is the best Kane - you avoid lame-ass Junko, but still can get access to all the other booty of the island. Get some action with Alessa, Dom, Jules or even dr. Mengele herself (why would you though? Jules would be angry). The world is your oyster, all you need to do is reach out.

On the dom or sub route except for the fendom scenes with Zach. Have we had any sex scenes with Kiyomi?

Hoping for a romance path with Juliette, but I can understand why I might not get it.

As far as I remember not yet. I think the only scenes are with random slaves(cop outing) or with your brother Seth in a femdom aspect. She will get scenes in the future for both path.

Thank you. It's just a pity that for some reason I can't open this screenshot. If only there was a person who could answer something like - (in about a month) or (in about February 2025)....

As for the update, be patient, Tess has not announced a release date for the update yet, but there is a feeling that it could be either late November or December 2024.
