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

[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....

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.

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. "

 

[Stan5851]

I'm more concerned about WS A and her presence there.

 

[kinkyshin]

Damn that sounds ominous. Hopefully it's just a good change... and not being removed or 'pruned' like Silver said.

I'm more concerned about WS A and her presence there.

I'm not so sure that she was intended to be super prevalent in World State A in the first place judging by the Faction Summary. Although it seems there is some 'overlapping' between World State A and World State D endings according to the Faction Summary. Which would almost certainly relate to Kane and Angelica. I'm guessing she is just revamping World State D (Which would explain why Kiyomi and Angelica, who were supposed to be prevalent on those World States are now getting changed at the same time). World State D was definitely the most mysterious of the World States anyways.

World State D - The "Wild Card" endings - I definitely don't want to spoil this very much,
but these endings are essentially scenarios where Kane kind of goes
rogue/independent on some level. In short, this is more about Kane rejecting all
factions at some point and finding his own path without a large team/apparatus of a
faction aligned with him. Two endings in this state CAN exist with A or C but most
cannot exist at the same time. I don't want to be too specific here either, but essentially
very positive ends can be literally riding off into the sunset with very negative endings being death/destruction.

tl;dr: Hopefully all the changes (besides Celeste getting gutted) are just about World State D. (And, hopefully it's good changes, not bad changes)

I’m on her discord, but idk.. I didn’t ask for details but sounds just in general tbh
Still don’t know what character from sub side is going to Dom side and vice versa

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Yep, still seems like with her wedding, the steam game, writing for anais's game, that she is quite overwhelmed so she's making cuts that will make the smallest impact. Since Angelica is a recent upgrade, unfortunately, her pruning makes sense :s

She stated it was to turn away people from the game.
But yeah, she seems pretty high strung with things going on maybe so time to trim. If that was the case I wish she were honest.

 

[Ayhsel]

Damn how much I love this game!

If she was trying to get rid of toxic players she'd be trimming Juliette and getting rid of dominique's evil side. Not getting rid of women that nobody gives a shit about ( well,I guess Angelica's a fan fav but the other 2 meh.)

Evil Dominique is still there, very true. But she already has cut back on the amount of evil that Kane can interact with involving Juliette. It's been a while since I played the sarlacc scene for demon kane, but I think there was a murder party that Juliette invited Kane to that I doubt will get much follow up. It's hard to shift too much with things involving the Karlsson sisters but we'll see how much the tone shifts.

People like Celeste and family are easier to make changes on and are the next evil after the sisters and she is pretty much clamped down now supposedly. A general trend to softening things up a bit.
