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

[MilesEdgeworth]

yall think 4 or five years when she's not even posting full chapters once a year? You guys are super optimistic

 

[harsha_26]

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.

Exactly, whoever believes her post on demon path is going to wait for ages but it won't come forever lol. I pity on those patreon dom fanbase who may got new hopes for demon path.

Corporate Development Memo 14 September 2025

Hi everyone!

I want to give a much larger set of preview images this week as kind of a love letter for being patient with me as I work through everything! So I've attached I think 20 images randomly -- I apologize as the sub/dom path images are likely mixed a bit (both are in a room I love so I am using it twice) as it's now getting near midnight here and I'm honestly running out of steam.

I am speeding up ok, but I'm just not able to go incredibly hard as I sometimes can but I am hopeful to get better and better each week!

125 renders this week, I have crossed 3300 renders overall. I am sorry for not having the exact number overall but Anais actually has a few images I still need to get from her when she helped me hehe but I am 99 percent sure it's roughly 3310-3320 or so overall.

I am about to start later this week the last huge set piece sub scene as I call it in my mind (a game). The sub scene above is a minor detour right before this big set piece but one continuous scene so to speak. I shifted a bit to the sub side because I discovered during a cursory overview that I did a bit more dom path so far (about 300 renders higher or so) so I felt a desire to balance it out a little more.

I will (unless I manage better than I think with time) likely leave out one dom and one sub scene from the Test Version and add them in that window between Test --> Final. I am more determined to get out a version by October now. Hopefully, I can get a rough content complete version (version before edits) by the end of September or very early October and then get a little lucky with testing.

I managed to swim about 1 mile yesterday only one minute slower than my normal pace (my typical length is about 2 miles) without feeling very tired at all, so I am feeling much better than even a week ago. I don't really run for cardio much (really hate it heh) but am basically a fish in the water and swim a lot for exercise. So lots of stretching, swimming, and flexibility/yoga/lean and long type of exercises, etc. So I think I should be ok in getting in a good groove.

I basically now want to finish one big sub scene set piece and one fairly big dom scene as well. Beyond that is a few smaller things like cleaning up two scenes and I have to wrap up a little bit of a scene with Maria Reyes (if she isn't dead on your playthrough) on the sub side (it's about 80 percent done but not quite yet as I shifted to something else when I got into that scene heh...sometimes that happens during the creative process).

I want to delay my outline of a hopeful schedule until next week's post -- I really want to see how far I get this week. However, I think doing it next week will also be much more accurate with less variance in outcomes.

I appreciate a lot of kind comments, messages, and Discord messages as well with kind words, etc. I really do feel a desire to try and provide a good/fun experience for people for being so nice and supportive! I'm not always proud of every week I work in terms of my goals, but I'm very proud of my character and general effort to be transparent and honorable to everyone. I'm actually a really good and decent person... for a sadist... hehe. Just having fun right now writing late at night .

I wanted to give one minor message about the dom side and a good question I got about the revolution path. No true spoilers but it will be possible to "enter" this path without having to be romanced to Junko later. I would suggest as a hint cultivating good relations with people that make sense for that path, etc.

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'm definitely out of energy to write too much more, so will quit now. But I will be sure to rest up and do a great post next week about the big picture.

Thank you everyone and please have a great week!

Love,

Tess

Damn, why does every girl with huge tits have to be evil?

Also, the written update is awesome:

1) Finally a way to enter the revolution path without 'romancing' Junko. Yes please.

2) Evil Angelica dominating the Karlsson girls and using them as human furniture. Yes please.

3) A possible Definitive Edition bringing back the demon route. Yes please.

Although like some people have pointed out... #3 seems a bit odd. I don't want to stir the pot but it's only been one update since she decided to cut out the demon path. Couldn't she just... err, bring it back immediately if she really wanted to?

Both #2 and #3 are from demon path. So, only #1 is possible. And She wont bring back demon path. And she blame it on Patreon Rules as always. It's just, she luring you into believing that she is going to include that in definitive version, which will never release, atleast for 5 more years.

 

[harsha_26]

I think after playing one or two updates, i'm going to lost all interest in this game, that's for sure. Sadly, it's one of the best story and sometimes only story is not enough for me.

Oh, that's unfortunate. Well, maybe her fiance will like it and she will bring it back lol

I highly doubt that. Angelica was never part of Juliette's inner circle, and she's not the sadistic killer type. So there must be something else going on here. But those are just details, and I basically agree with the gist of your message. Tess is acting like a bitch, publishing details of the canceled ending, which I'm sure most Dom players would like to see...

And I don't believe in this "definitive version" either, Tess can't be trusted. She already deceived us with Angelica (an unplanned nerf to her love route, and judging by the removed ending, essentially its complete cancellation—and this after she agreed with our opinion that Angelica as LI should be moved from T2 to T1!) and Kiyomi. So why should we trust her with anything else?

I'm confused. What does this have to do with what he said?

What exactly is confusing you? If it's this,
#2 from demon path (harsha_26s response to your statement):

2) Evil Angelica dominating the Karlsson girls and using them as human furniture. Yes please.

then it's my opinion on how Angelica's rise could hypothetically have happened within the framework of Angelica T1 love route (if Tess hadn't canceled it). I simply explained that, in my opinion, Angelica in this case could not have had anything to do with the canceled demon path, since she and Jules are too different and their methods of achieving their goals are also different.

As for the rest, everything is pretty clear and doesn't require any special explanation. Tess broke her promises, but still insists that she's a decent person, lol. If you ask why I think so, it's simple:

First, in response to numerous requests from players, she made Angelica T1 LI (for the Dom side), thereby guaranteeing her the deepest possible love rs with Kane and a separate ending(s). Then she first announced a nerf to Angelica's route, and then canceled her ending altogether, which included several different mini-endings (depending on the personalities of D.Kane, Angelica etc). And you want to continue believing Tess? Well, good luck then.

I don't see why Juliette matters so much on the demon path.
Evil Olivia is the only requirement for Kane to get onto the demon path thus far?

I get it that its hard to make such games that too without a full team working with you, but still one update a year is not the right way to go, or am i missing something?

Wrong thread, cockerel. All femdom slaves are in her Discord.

According to the dev, the game is her hobby, and she doesn't work on it around the clock, so we have what we have. However, I agree with you, this is really not the best option, and if she is so financially secure that she never tires of repeating this mantra, then I see no problem in hiring people to do the dirty work for her. So come back in 4-5+ years. If you're very lucky, the game will be close to completion.

Hey, I’m here too!

Honestly, this game is a fairly complicated game and its fairly big with alot of moving pieces, that she's doing one update a year is pretty good actually
