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

[kinkyshin]

My assumption has been that the MC was injected with whatever drug that K6 guy who initially ‘abducted’ Olivia was also under.

If nothing else, it would at least provide a logical explanation for his rather.. forgiving behaviour and thoughts up until now.

I suppose I should have instead used the word subdued or suggestible. Why does he practically fall asleep on command or just accept that he has to (for the most parts) go along with what transpires.

It’s not a perfectly fit for a theory as there are scenes that kind of go against it. But it wouldn’t be so far fetched as to not be plausible.

Did success go to Tess's head ? Two years ago, she was on this forum conversing about the game. She even took Stan's suggestion of upgrading Angelica's position in the game, now Im hearing horror stories of people being booted for being critical. Is that Tess, or are her mods a little overprotective?

Are we forgetting the part about how she was being harassed at length by bad actors leading to her almost quitting developing the game and overreacting by cutting one of the better paths?

I'd say there's nothing wrong with engaging less, particularly on a piracy forum where she owes the posters nothing, to weed out those bad interactions and keep her focused and motivated on developing the actual game. She has her flaws, but not everything is one.

You must be talking about sub Kane, aren't you? Because Dom Kane never acted like this.

It was mentioned by alessandra or juliatte that they have something that can make sub people to more easier to follow orders. So they can't easily fight back.

Also dom kane cum is also tweaked by veronica. so that he can't have children before everything is settled.

 

[akki_sky]

Yeah, it's the mods for sure. And they're doing a disservice for the game itself the same way it happens when someone surrounds him\herself with nothing more than yesmen: you can't improve, you can only go the opposite direction.

Sure.. it was pretty mild tbh.
As I've said I started with praises, cause I honestly appreciated what she built up.. especially the variability, choices and consequences and such are really above the average. A lot.
My critique was relative to some of the last few screenshots she posted on the roadmap channel, but it applies to a good portion of the content already there: basically when she puts in scenes where the girls have their boobs out and go around like that for basically no reason (so no teasing or other semi reasonable explanation, they just.. walk around like that ..).. maybe it's just me but I find it ridiculous and kinda ruins the atmosphere\lowers the overall quality. Little details\feedback that can at least make her think about it, but no.. let's ban people, what a smart idea

yes. It's crazy that girls are always naked or tit out in sub paths. But in dom path they are clothed.

but you talked on sub poll images and not on previews. but it is same in game.

I saw dev reply to you, she said something about how she will feel in that situation she knows. I mean what kane is going to do now from ep9, always going to parade his dick swinging to feel he is dom.

She's done the same to people who pay and do free work for her on peripherals like the relationship chart but sure keep going on about how she's only mean to trolls and pirates and doesn't flip on people who help over petty nonsense.

Great PR.

Doesn't matter. Artists are usually self absorbed ego trippers anyway. Game is good. All that matters.

No I’m referring to the dom path, but I’ll admit that I might be a tad bit of a contrarian and actively projecting upon the MC.

If you go and look at the scenes in the first season, the MC will usually go along with things unless someone specifically tells him that he has the option to decline. After helping Olivia with the catwalk, the MC even ponders if they have done something to him.

I fear you misunderstood my previous message. I have no issue with her not talking on here. I used her talking here as an example of her being open to criticism. Which, judging by all the Discord boots, is no longer a thing.

I think you may be mixing up her no longer being able to take criticism with there are now less avenues for it to reach her.

For my part, I don't think her issue has ever been being open to criticism, she's engaged with some obvious trolls in this thread and taken them at face value longer than she should have. Her bigger issue on the criticism front is her team is completely ineffective at implementing bug fixes when given to them, which is a symptom of the lack of talent she is surrounded by.

I never said that. I'm not denying she's overly dramatic.

I might agree with you if we weren't talking about this because another person got banned over a minor critique from the avenues people can reach her. It's the only time it comes up here is when this happens. She came back here recently to write a rant about how people who have small critiques have the biggest beta energy and how she didn't like the hostility she was seeing here for her over her petty bans and that her detractors are just weak insecure betas then ran off.

I wouldn't say those were all minor criticisms. People were bashing her pretty hard. It's a human reaction. I would have just closed the website and went on with my supposedly amazing in all ways life if I was her rather than writing an unflattering post, but she wasn't doing it over some minor quibble with her game.

Not talking about the harassment from last year. And yes people really did start bashing her after she became even more petty and sensitive. I won't fault them for reacting to someone being childish. Go message Stan or Mav about their story or see if you can find a bit about it a little before and after her rant here. Around that time was a guy(KXCA I think) who did free work for her but got banned for saying he didn't like a character.

(She does love talking about her amazing life though)

Yeah, I made the visual relationship chart you see in the OP and was also working on a full Wiki for KG ( link in my signature). I got banned after I said I might skip a scene with specific characters.

I dont really comment on here much since I now only play the revolution path (mostly lost interest in the game after all this) and cant quite keep up with all the discussion.

Which characters? We gotta figure out if you deserved the ban or not.

"Yeah I really don't like Delilah or Dr Chastain."

Lol. It was a sub scene with Delilah, Scarlett and Angelica with a glass box. Tess was sharing images for this trio for a few weeks on end in different situations and seeing Scarlett's stupid antics in this one just irked me.

Jokes aside though, that scene is pretty brutal once Dominique shows up and I don't like Scarlett either

Kitty and Chanel are the characters I can't stand. Kitty in nearly every scene and Chanel for sub path.

They take so many liberties in they're position and acting bratty I was hoping beyond all things that Olivia would humiliate Chanel at least in front of the slaves just to humble her so she would understand her position and understand how fragile it is and take her job seriously. The vault scene on the sub side sticks out to me where Olivia nearly did it.

Edited for clarity. I realized what I said could be implied for both.
