VN Ren'Py Ripples [v0.7.0 Public] [Jestur]

[Simpgor]

Logical assumption yes, but never assume. Very dangerous. You're assuming you know how all this works. We already know we don't. As for what should and shouldnt be, well, time travel shouldn't be either should it...but it's part of this VN's world, so you can't just dismiss something because it doesn't fit your world logic view.

So somehow ink under the surface of Skylars skin aged 20 years but the skin surrounding it did not? Why do clothes stay the same then surely they would age? Sorry but too much of a stretch even for time travel story

Edit: also those tats do not look nearly 20 years old so there goes your theory of her getting them in 1999

Edit Edit: To be a pedantic cunt we know that both organic and inorganic materials dont age when going forward/backward in time and we also know they dont age/regress into nothingness when going backwards

If organic compounds aged then MC would be pushing 60 at best and he has made no mention of that and he looks the same after every case of travel; another example is all the stuff that MC was told to bring to coughing person.... that briefcase didn't look like it was 20 years old and im not sure how readable 20 year old paper that was printed on a 90s office printer is.

I agree that we dont know everything In fact i would go so far as to say it is pointless to even attempt to ""solve" anything. With that being said your idea is contraindicated by stuff only within the game. Where in the game do you get the idea that tattoos might be the only thing we have seen that has been effected by the passage of time while traveling?

Jessica is a weird girl.... unless she is jealous, she will act like you are not in her route. ( If you are in both Jessica and Skyler route, only then Jessica will ask you to rub sunscreen on her body and later ask you to take naughty pictures....but in any other variations she will ignore you and interact with you only minimum)

 

[Giggling Raven]

Aw man I really liked Skylar but got really sad when I saw her new tattoos. She looked so good before and now I don't like her looks anymore.

I'm also sad to let Skylar go but her new look also really doesn't appeal to me and I'm not a fan of how she reacted about her disappearance either. A great character was ruined in this episode for me and I had to start over and not choose her this time.

Didn't enjoy the Riley stuff

Also not a fan of Riley but I'm glad there's the option not to trust her.

fuck so i have to be on skyler route to get jessica??? Well I guess I'm just waiting for the gallery mod then. I've never been a fan of skyler or krystal from the beginning of the game. And now it just seems a bit of a railroad/force for you to interact with riley and skyler. Also hate it when dev's lock content behind other character routes

I agree its weird from a game perspective (unless harem is the "default") but as of right now it's "in character" since if you are only on her route she feels "safer" and like there is less need to take risks

Edit: If it stays the same after she "catches" you with anyone else then yeah....... bad characterization

 

[MrLKX]

Wait, when the MC saved his past mom from getting attacked and threatened the ex-boyfriend. Scarlett mentioned something about him saving her baby while holding her stomach. Was the baby the MC or his sister, Jessica?

That would be his sister.

I was just thinking how both of them feel more "forced" on you than anyone else (except maybe darci but everyone wants her pushed on them). Skylar has been the "feature" of multiple of the games cliffhangers and like others have pointed out the early game REALLY expects you to be on her path.

Then Krystal feels like she has no relevance in the story..... a group of bad guys that is trying to steal time travel secrets (and maybe already has time travel) is bugging/ or breaking into mc's house/stalking him and......hacking a random friend of his phone for nudes? Not even darci's phone? or Brad? or hell even Lizzie? (as i type this out i feel like i must have missed something and that there is no way one group is responsible for both things)

 

[shitass1001]

excited for more Darci content in the new update. the stuff with her mom is one of the more interesting mysteries of this game in my opinion

 

[Dessolos]

yeah I like the Darci story line but not so much her lewd stuff as I have no interest in her but i saw them for the sake of content.

 

[Zontany]

That would be his sister.

Okay, thank you. I knew she was pregnant before when we first met his aunt. I didn't know if it was the same baby or not.

That is not true. At that point in the game, you can only be on one route or the other, for now.

I'm at Riley's sex scene and I can't choose "keep going" when she drops down from spinning. Am I missing something?

You need Riley points and assertive points.

So glad I decided never to get involved with Skylar. Didn't enjoy the Riley stuff as I & MC didn't feel like intercoursing with her at all at this point. Forcing sex on the MC is never a good idea past the very first AVN one plays (when the excitement of the novelty overrides everything else). Looking forward to getting back with Alyssa, Jenny & Darci in the future updates.

I would save judgement on Skylar until you know the full story. What fun is a story if every girl is automatically on your nuts right off the bat without any conflicts throughout the story. There will be struggles in this story. Also, I already fixed the problem with Riley's scene. It's optional now like it should have bee. But I hear what you guys are saying. I appreciate the feedback. Hopefully, you give the story more time to bake before giving up on a character. Thanks again.

No...you can still be in Jessica's route...but her route hasn't started yet in the phone....I am actually taking about the gallery scenes.... there are two scenes you will miss with her if you are not on both her and Skyler route...
...
To make it more clear, if you are on Skyler route you will have a special choice that lets you unlock the scenes (the first choice will treat you like you are on both girls route and you can see extended scenes with Jessica.. the second choice will treat you like you rejected Jessica). But if you reject Skyler from the start then you don't get the special choice and thus can't see the extended scenes with Jessica

The eternal struggle of letting him cook vs having to eat to live

I feel like a fair portion of peoples problem wasn't the lack of her being on our nuts, instead ii think most of it came from a dissonance between the player and MC more than anything else (in my case it made the date scene super sour that she was chill about lying even if its "for MC benefit"; I will say it is kind of hard to have to give a character a chance back to back (give her a chance to explain why she ghosted you because mommy said so followed immediately by give her a chance to explain why is lying during the apology) put that on top of a fairly large design change (which I think fits after the initial uhhh wtf) and it makes sense that this would be a pretty devise update for her.

Still objectively and technically better than 99% of games here though

I think with Skylar's character it may actually be the opposite. Some of the disappointment from this update is that there was a huge reveal with her. Something is 'not right' for lack of better terminology. The fact that our MC can't pull back from that point, especially before he and Skylar fuck, doesn't sit right with me in a way I can't define other than 'icky'.

Do you live in my head?!? Really nicely explained. It feels like our MC is deceived (Legit. This is an original, and excellent story. he doesn't need to do everything exactly the way I want) but for me personally, it ruined the intimacy of a scene I had been really looking forward to.

 

[ArDZer]

Must say, I liked this new update. The cinematics were very nice, the humor and the plot (and the inclusion of the music player).

I think that is a perfectly valid reason to because logically now you have to question does she like you at all? only because of time travel? is she even on our side? Skylar has always been towards the lower half of girls for me and if she didnt have such prominence in the sex stuff early on I would remember her as much as i remember the brown hair henchman (whose name i forget ), and even with little care the whole reveal was still pretty sour for me I cant imagine how immeasurable your disappointment was or how much your day was ruined.

I wonder how much of this would be "fixed" if she was clearly "off" when giving the explanation/during the date because as it currently stands she is objectively hiding the truth from MC for her own benefit (she gets food and dick if she lies if she tells the truth she might not even if shes doing it under "orders" , or future mc told her to, or whatever

She doesn't need to feel "off" because what she is doing is the right thing not because of any in universe logic or moral reasoning, instead she is in the right because she is a LI in well written VN and therefore cant be a villain

 

[Dessolos]

While alot of people seem to have an Issue with Skylar this update I never did. Well other than her new tattoo's but that was nitpick that took me like 5 minutes to get used to and accept. Cant speak for everyone but for me I think the reason for why I didn't dislike Skylar in this update is because I don't put myself in the MC's shoes when I play these games. I just treat these games as any other game and play as a normal player like it was a AAA game all the while getting to know said LI. While we know she is hiding something to me it never came across something bad but most likey she went to the past or that's a future version of Skylar. As a Player I know it's not going to be all revealed at once but over time in away that makes sense seeing how good this game is so far. So because of all that it was easy for me to enjoy this update and not have anything negative to dislike about her other than a small nitpick.

 

[Simpgor]

While we know she is hiding something to me it never came across something bad but most likey she went to the past or that's a future version of Skylar.

I dont think that she did something bad and is hiding it but that she is willing and able to lie (from story perspective you should be given a choice to trust her just like Riley)), I dont particularly self insert (beyond role playing someone kind ) but even as a character in the story she went from someone as trustworthy as MC sister to as trustworthy as Riley was of update 4.....which is an issue because we all know she is going to end up being "trustworthy" due to her being an LI which just makes the whole thing feel pointless

I dont doubt some self insert coomers are angy that waifu dared to lie to them, but i think there is a perfectly valid reason to have negative views on this
