Players are absolutely free to dislike the writing, models, or kink themes of the game; it's far from perfect, and some of its aspects also irk me. I'm only pointing out that some criticisms are based on expectations the game never promised to meet, that's not calling them stupid. Critique is always fair, but criticizing a femdom-focused, dystopian game with evil elements for being too femdom and evil isn't a very meaningful feedback. There’s a difference between ‘this isn’t for me’ and ‘this is objectively the worst porn game because it isn’t what I wanted.’
I agree some of the reviews are outright wrong about this game. I don't think they even cared for story or characters. But, you saying that this game is never for hardcore doms and only for hardcore subs is not true in earlier days. But, you are right ofcourse that's how it is now lol.

I mostly just cared about that Asian girl that Seth gets.. like, to me that was more NTR than anything! :)
Still a great game, even if Tess didn't open up her much as an "LI" for the MC. But fucking Seth!!

Also reviews are like that nowadays everywhere, and here too. Review manipulation can also happen to some extent but I think F95 tries to stop it as much as they can.
People are passionate about it, and when they see the potential missed (for them, subjectively) they likely feel more frustrated.

Still 4½ stars in general feels very accurate, at least for me.

im surprised we don't have anybody talking about the game yet. lolz
I'm not surprised at all. Tess ruined that atmosphere, that synergy between the players and the dev...gone are the days when we followed her every post related to the plot, when we participated in joint discussions with her in this thread and later in her Discord, discussing the plot and characters or offering our own ideas... All of that is gone now, and the magic of the game's charm has disappeared too.

So if her spies, who traditionally continue to monitor this thread, are sitting here waiting for us to start discussing the new test update, they're in for a disappointment...they'll have to wait another week or two.:whistle::coffee:

Test release that just came out, I doubt most on here have played through it. I know I haven't. Her patrons discuss things on patron exclusive channels in her discord and not on here, tmk.

The vast, vast, vast majority of people playing the game don't care to obsess over it on a pirate porn forum. Only a handful of vocal people would do that. I'm sure the vocal people will discuss it after they play the final release, probably in a week or two.

Perhaps the reason why "Tess ruined that atmosphere" was because she puts a lot of hard work into this game and so that she can keep her supporters happy she allows them the privilege of testing the game and getting access to the game before those who don't pay for it, so that she can release a more polished final version only for the test version to be released on here. Her weekly updates on patreon get released on here also. I as one of her mid tier supporters feel cheated that the game and the weekly updates have been released on here.

Until now I couldn't understand why dev's disliked this site because I thought that by games being published on here would garner more support for the dev's, It's how I decide which dev's to support.
When accessing the games on here I try and wait a week or so before playing a latest release of a game so I at least know that their supporters are getting what they paid for.

What I "like" about you, buddy, is that every time you're caught broadcasting your total incompetence or untruths, you hide behind the universal and ridiculous excuse that “I don't understand your relationship, this topic, or anything else,” like a mischievous kitten. At times like these, I always wanted to ask you, why the hell are you writing nonsense if you don't understand a damn thing about it, but apparently, my inner sense of politeness prevented me from doing so every time.:whistle::coffee:

As for "exclusive channels on Discord", no, the discussion of the game takes place in regular channels that are accessible to everyone. But there is no discussion as such, since her Discord is almost a dead place with a handful of obedient hamsters agreeing with her 24/7. There is no open and honest discussion there, and I think that's why Tess (or her spies) continues to watch this thread, because only here will she see quality and unbiased feedback, which her sub hamsters on Discord cannot give her.

Timestamps, one of my fav game update just got released today. It have bugs as it is released without testing, patches are releasing. But why I'm saying all these to you? Because, even though it is bugged version, although devs are updating constant patches.. There is a huge load of fan traffic is going on in that game page. And half of them are bought game on steam. Why they are talking here than elsewhere? Even the dev is Paritcipating in conversation. Why? Because that's how the relationship between devs and fans work. F95 is the reason for many devs to get their income traffic. It's how I got to know Karlsson's Gambit. It's how I supported her in patreon until my recent ban.

Even tess knows the value of f95 (if you want proofs, just go to first page of this game thread and go over some pages.)

Tess banned me and sent me away from her server. But, I'm here and still talking about game and all.. Thanks to f95.

What's wrong with publishing developer diaries here? You wanted exclusivity, fine, you have all kinds of patreon polls and dozens of bonus renders that Tess does for both Dom and sub patrons. And which, BTW, no one in this thread is publishing.. So I don't understand why you feel cheated.

Playing the new Test version may alter your persistent file.
In case you want to make a backup of your saves in AppData before trying the Test version :

Save Locations :

1. in the game folder, eg ...\KarlssonsGambit-0.8.2FinalB-pc\game\saves

2. in AppData :
path : C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\...

Season 1 : save_directory = "Test1-1575173365"
Season 2 : save_directory = "Tess_is_wonderful"

The export file for Season 1 -> Season 2 is
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\persistent\Karlssons.gambit.s1

Back in the day, Dover was posting all versions same day and she was still on here posting. If anything things have cooled down from that time.
As for the weekly updates, they're nice but not earth- shattering. People pay to support the game have access to the artist and get some cool wallpaers etc. If the only thing you're getting is weekly updates, the ability to play test versions, and the ability to play the game earlier, then you're not doing it right.

For people playing the test version, does it feel like some saves are missing? Maybe it's on my end, but it feels like it's been a while since I played this, so I don't know

This guy doesn't care. He doesn't want to get involved in anything and just expresses his "authoritative" opinion. As for what you wrote, yes, you're right...I haven't played TS, but I can also give an examples of similar fruitful synergy between devs and players on f95, which was beneficial to everyone.

- The folder "Tess_is_wonderful" should contain all your Season 2 save games ...
- The folder "...\KarlssonsGambit-0.8.2FinalB-pc\game\saves" contains only the saves from playing version E8.2. (Saves from playing version E8.1 are usually not in this folder since they were stored in "...\KarlssonsGambit-0.8.1FinalB-pc\game\saves" or so.)

You can manually check your save game folder(s) if there are empty pages or slots in the game's Save/Load menu :
Example : File name "1-2-LT1.save" means : Save Game in page 1 slot 2.

Did Tess ruin that atmosphere or did some of the more self-entitled dickheads on this site ruin it?

I honestly don't know, and I'm not going to wade through a 941 page thread just to find out. But I know I have seen this kind of stuff happen a ton of times before on f95, and it very rarely was because the developer was the one being unreasonable.

Oh you're right, it's a big reason I ignore this thread too. It's full of junk from a few obviously dysfunctional people. Only reason is to check for updates and the occasional shared memo/update. The game itself is still good enough that I want to play the updates, sometimes I just unwatch this thread after a release and wait a good 6-8 months until I check it again. I gave up and put a few people on ignore.

You have got to be fucking shitting me :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

HOLY FUCK what a statement... I've been around here for almost 8 years and I have not seen a single dev leave F95 for "justifiable" reasons. Not. A. Single. Fucking. Time.

If you are a creator and you can't handle a few criticisms, a troll here and there or a few haters, it's on YOU! Grow thicker skin.

But I'll save you going through 941 pages. Yes, the dev "ruined" the atmosphere.
