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

[Negan22]

Wouldn't this backfire on her? If we take her claim about harassment true (which btw isn't true, it's her own decision). Even if some of those harassers leave, there could be more because the remaining ones aren't satisfied with the pruned Dom path either but they are being hopeful, just because it's not too for from what they really want and so they can be pushy about it. You can already see people complaining here, I don't know what will happen after her next announcement or when players will witness the annexation of the Dom routes in game itself.

So far, Primary Impact for Dom side - Celeste, Angelica on Dom side, extensive Branches will be pruned… “Generally the more evil on dom side the path, the more I will be carefully looking at it.”

What, Angelica too? She's not even evil...

 

[Silver_Crow117]

I think it’s just dom side generally idk

 

[DoverDad]

I think it’s just dom side generally idk

Stan is going to lose it if that true

 

[akki_sky]

It was Celest and Kiyomi. Never heard anything about angelica. I'm already pissed because kiyomi is axed, just when training with her about to start and possible romance.

Most importantly I started playing this because of evil path. There are many others VN with good romance, corruption and what not. Celest - Alessandra evilness is what other VN's don't have. So dev just axed uniqueness of her VN.

 

[Maviarab]

It’s Celeste, Angelica, Kiyomi

So Tess is breaking her promises once again then? Got it. Guess Angelica going back to being a secondary T2 romance?

 

[akki_sky]

It’s Celeste, Angelica, Kiyomi

So Kane was not going to become leader of faction B. Now Kiyomi and Angelica were main romance option on faction D, That means faction D ending also most probably scrapped. Only Faction A and C remaining now. Let's see how much time it takes to cut next faction.

I can almost guess excuses like, it was too much work with different branches, it was affecting my mental and physical health so i decided to cut down few endings.

In the end it will be miracle if dom path even gets one ending.

 

[drdiver3]

I only see patreon updates on the 5th and 12th and 18th. The discord post was on the 6th so probably not.

I'd think she posted to Patreon first on the 5th, then duplicated that post a day later on discord, but I'm not in either so idk.

 

[Maviarab]

T2 probably, but don’t quote me on it since I didn’t ask Not sure Which character is coming from the sub side to Dom side, and vice versa With a Dom character going to sub side… I know Angelica is getting another route on the sub side (she already had one) so yeah

She probably doing it to spite Stan and I....

 

[Stan5851]

She probably doing it to spite Stan and I....

This game can be played by two people. I lowered my rating of the game from 5 stars to 2, adding to my old review the reason for this decision.

 

[Stan5851]

When I first Played this game and had the pleasure to know about the dev, I knew right then and there that she wouldn't be able to please her Dom fans, but I thought it would be because she wouldn't be able to provide really good Dom paths but I didn't has any idea that she would start scrapping the Dom paths altogether instead of giving the promised Dom paths but a lot tamer than the Femdom paths as I imagined, but in any case I wasn't wrong after all, she proved my expectations and more.

Well, if by proved expectations you mean a vindictive and insecure woman who can't find a way out of the simplest of situations and is always looking for the most unfortunate and bad solutions, like ridiculous revenge on the Dom players by cutting some of the Dom content, then my expectations were completely met too and she didn't fail, lol.

 

[SlowGoesSlow]

It's hard to stay interested in a game that keeps cutting content on your preferred routes. At least on the Dom side the game has felt like it's been waffling around since the gameshow arc started to happen.

 

[Cybershot007]

I have a theory for why she could've purged the Dom routes beside it being too much work for something that she doesn't want to create anyway in the premise of this particular game but before that I have to be sure about something...

So Just a thought but someone has any proof that Mistress Anais is another real person and isn't actually Tess herself. I couldn't find her presence anywhere except the few messages that she dropped on Tess's server. I mean who actually goes so far as to making a porn game without actually playing some and without being a user on F95 or other Adult games related forums? Am i reading into it too much or giving it too little attention to know that's not the case?

Or maybe you think the same then I would like to know why you think so besides the odd things that I have already mentioned.

No one has that kind of proof. So it could be a 40 year old farmer with a beer belly from Nebraska, or it could be a 20-30+ y.o woman with 10 cats posing as a dominatrix and super successful businesswoman. And it could all be the same person.Welcome to the wonderful world of the anonymous internet.

“Generally the more evil on dom side the path, the more I will be carefully looking at it.”

This sounds like some kind of mental deviation, you know, like when a dog bites its own tail with rage without recognizing it as part of its body..

"The more evil on Dom side", lol... As if that evil was created by some other person and not Tess herself. Anyway, great way to go about it, take note:

1. Create "evil" content for the Dom side.
2. carefully looking at it....and... discovering evil in this route (who knew!).
3. Remove a bunch of Dom content.

Bingo! Repeat as needed. What can I say, great recipe, reliable as a Swiss watch.

P.S. And the most absurd part is that it decides to prune content that doesn't exist yet. There is no Angelica for the Dom side, good or evil...But who cares, lol.

Im getting more convinced that Kane was never meant to be a part of this story and only meant to be Olivia as the main MC. Kane has always been an afterthought, meaning look how Kane acts most of the time, he has a memory of goldfish he also has a personality of a robotic retard

If you've been on the forum long enough and paid attention, you'd know devs making multiple games under different names without telling their fans isn't something unheard of, but anyway it was just a thought, not an outright accusation.

I don't want to get into a power fantasy "cool dude" off because KG isn't one in the same way so it's not really fair. In KG Kane is not in a very favorable position in his relation to others unlike what you mentioned. However, this doesn't totally excuse a "Dom" Kane.

The only thing that disappoints me about Kane is that despite being aware that he is not a standard participant and is very valuable, even if he doesn't know why, he doesn't leverage this with people. Using what you have to your advantage to advance is bread and butter what a "Dom" path should be, but as we know "Dom" path isn't dom, it's just not sub.

 

[kinkyshin]

I can’t really elaborate for reasons…, but if you’ve been in the forum long enough, you’d know that I don’t go around spewing BS lol

Are you on her discord? Can you ask her to confirm if Angelica is being removed from dom path?
I'm still hopeful that maybe you misread a comment or something.

Also you say 'pruned' but not 'removed' entirely so... does that just means it's being gutted on World State D, but not World State B & C ?

I never saw any thing concrete just:
" Dom Path: Angelica path will be changed from original plan, more later. "
