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

[Stan5851]

Dev might be mostly pushing their personal views about Femdom and cannot hardcore maledom. (like i'm not able to play sub paths).

I suppose the moment of truth will come in Ep9 when Dom Kane stops being a formal slave and takes a leadership position. That's when it will become clear - whether dev can't or just doesn't want to. But for now, in terms of plot, it's pretty hard to pick on it any way you look at it.

As for the subs, I don't know at what point I should start envying those guys. To begin with, the “extreme” content they get just demeans their Kane and makes him look like a complete nonentity. So such references to the "more hardcore sub path" seem pretty dubious to me.

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?

For the amount of shit she's gotten I think she's remarkably generous. I got kicked from the discord server too, twice actually. I asked her about it and she said she didn't know why. She has other mods too that help her and shields her a bit from the worst people. They probably got a bit overzealous or maybe they thought I was someone else, she's had people rejoining under different names to harrass. While a tad annoying, I can't get mad from getting kicked out of a server for a VN. Perspective and all that.

Im the founding member of the help amari get her revenge against dom club.

I know it won't happen in game, but Im still making the club

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.

Can you post your critical post here? Lol would like to see what triggered their insecurities.

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

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.

Not sure about Amara's revenge, but at least she can survive and maybe even free herself from her shackles (alone or with Kwame) if we let Dom Kane get the "World state D" in the final of the game.

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.

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.

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.
