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

[Merlin-Magic]

And anyone with that kind of education and intelligence (and money) will tell you you don't waste your time with projects that have very little return to time investment.

Like I'm telling you

This is especially true in the current gaming climate. It would make no economic sense. You have to be really crazy, to be starting a game like this one, right now. You are asking for a whole LOT of trouble and basically, almost no income (or none if you get banned).
It does make a huge difference where you live. In some countries $10 is a whole lot of money. Where I live, it take almost $50 for a decent lunch. No one would EVER make a game where I am, unless they were really rich, cared nothing about money and were borderline fanatical about their love of doing it.

Well, this is certainly a deep and inciteful (No, that's not a misspell. Think about it.) conversation. It's mostly over my head, but what I can say is that I've always done the best I could with whatever I was given. It can be as simple as that.


Of course, it helps that I'm the best there ever was at anything I've ever tried. Jus' Sayin'

Sounds like were having some twilight mysteriousness in this forum... Very interesting to see these.... conversations take place....

Unless it does kick off. 4k a month = 48k annually which is 25k short of Sweden's (where she said she lives iirc) median household income. More than enough for one person in welfare state heaven, and all cus you made naughty pics using daz dolls. Although if it's still not your main income at that point you'd probably stop putting serious time into it eventually, assuming you ever did. Unless, of course, your main income stream is passive or requires very little work because you're a Rothschild or something. That's the impression I got from the dev providing us snippets about her life in the patreon posts. You gotta give yourself something to do, right?

Tess's pateon's post this week:

I may release this week on Discord my "Red Domination" ending like I did "The Lone Ranger" but this ending is more complicated to post because it has alternative sliding scale type things that can insert different people as servants and stuff. I count ALL of this as "one ending" how I think of things, but this one ending has some variations that were dependent on some things. For example, it depended on both Kane and Angelica's morality, relationship to each other (dom Kane to sub Angelica, or true alpha couple romance, etc.) So I'll only be able to really post one good variation on it (I'll probably do the evil Kane/evil Angelica alpha couple one because I had the most fun writing it to be honest!) Minor spoiler on it...one element of it was Angelica having err special fun with Kane and having many of the Karlssons as human furniture which as those that know me best know...I really, really, like this specific thing personally which in a weird way makes sense for a designer I suppose. But this is rare for me. (kinks I adore in my own game personally versus kinks I think are good for the story) I also sincerely LOVED writing the evil dom path with demon Kane but yeah...it is what it is...not going to rehash that again. You never know someday when the game is all done...I've learned about Definitive Editions after a game is complete.


I don't want to keep my hopes high because first of all, this game completion takes 5 more years or more. And also, even that definitive edition has to be released in platforms like patreon, steam, ich which wont be possible according to her older posts unless she makes Red Domination as a very lame and softcore ending. If you doms want to believe her, I feel pity for you. That's it.

I don't understand a damn thing you're talking about. Maybe Mav, as a native English speaker, will understand you better. And I don't need anyone's pity, lol. All I understand is that she publishes another canceled ending (again) for some reason. I don't give a shit about the endings or her, let her do whatever she wants.

She hints that she will release red domination ending in "KG Definitive Edition".

 

[Stan5851]

She hints that she will release red domination ending in "KG Definitive Edition".

She has always had trouble expressing her thoughts in English, which is not her native language, so this is not the first time that it is not clear what she is writing and what she means. And yes, I don't know why the word “learned” suddenly became synonymous with the phrase “I'm going to release.”

I just thought she is hinting about release, may be to lure doms.

i dont know tess nation, but if she was brazilian Realease woud sound alot like "Noticing" something

 

[Stan5851]

If this is her way of hinting at something like that, then she should definitely hire a marketing specialist, because so far her approach seems more like deliberate mockery of Dom players.

She is Swedish.

 

[harsha_26]

I think she better stop releasing that script, because it wont do anything better for fans who love that path, if anything, it makes even more depressing to the fanbase of evil dom reading that and knowing it wont be in the game anyway.

Like I've said before, she's become a game show host.

Ohh noo...well anyway...here's what you could have won if you didn't suck in the final.

I don't quite understand who you're talking about, Mav.. Are you talking about Tess figuratively, or its about Angelica?

She is Swedish.

She is American, of Swedish ancestry. So English is her native language.

You mean bastardised slang trying to pass itself off as English...is her native language? Besides, where she is does actually have it's own official, native language too btw.

I don't quite understand who you're talking about, Mav

Tess. Seriously, why even show what I was going to do...if not to be a bitch and rub salt in the wound?

 

[Stan5851]

So English is her native language.

I highly doubt that. At the very least, her English is quite peculiar, and the meaning she puts into certain phrases is often not entirely clear not only to me, but even to native English speakers with whom I have the honor of communicating on this forum (and elsewhere).

 

[Sharpshooter890]

If she's releasing this 'Red Domination' ending, does that mean it's scrapped like the Demon route and that 'Lone Ranger'? Surely she wouldn't spoil endings that will actually be in the game?

As for 'Definitive Edition' that might include the Demon flag, etc - that's not happening. The game should be finished in about 4-5 years, I'd say, and there is no way in hell she would keep working on it once it's finished (*if it's finished at all). It's not Cyberpunk 2077 situation, where we still get patches years after release. She will either move on to the next project, abandon the game or quit the gamedev altogether.
