Hard to say, but even if he's goofing around, Carla has resemblance with Tiffany, not Valerie. It's mostly because of the same hair.I'm actually not sure if he is joking or serious.

- Start date
What is scary here is not that someone mistook(?) her for Valerie (should have gone with Tiffany), but that we insta recognized Who this was and what AVN she is from
If she was an ugly side character, I would have failed AVN bingo.
I was also just playing Chasing Sunsets and they have a tie in with Eternum... so I'm at 3 degrees of separation from Once in a Lifetime!
Cheers!!

I mean...Judie from OiaL actually appears in Ripples...What is scary here is not that someone mistook(?) her for Valerie (should have gone with Tiffany), but that we insta recognized Who this was and what AVN she is from

ah wasn't she the one that had to endure miss bitchy's rage or something? and she's from caribdis other game?

She was just browsing in the store and then left when miss bitchy started.
But yes, she is one of the main LIs in OiaL: https://f95zone.to/threads/once-in-a-lifetime-v1-0-caribdis.37470/post-2443409
Although that woman is arguably one of the best hentai milfs in the history of mankind and the whole universe, that isn't from Ripples, is from Once in a Lifetime.
Yes she should have more screen time. Fight me. And I'll be sad if Tiffany and Jessica don't have more as well.
Mimimimimimimimi!Correct, but again a different game. Both devs have a lot of references to each other. When 2 genius minds get along, this happens.

Well technically Darci was in OiaL (maybe she wore heels since she seems a few inches taller
)

Something else: I may be imagining it, but I think the girl with Judie looks a bit like Scarlett's sister. Kind of like a daughter or something.

Could be, when I played OiaL I didn't knew Ripples yet (outside of the fact, that the game existed), so I wouldn't have recognized her.Well technically Darci was in OiaL (maybe she wore heels since she seems a few inches taller

I'm moving this dialogue over, since it is more about Ripples at this point, so the mods might delete it otherwise.It's cool of you to try the game even if you weren't really interested in it at first, Ripples is a really good game, one of my Fav for sure, Jestur is a hell of a dev.
My opinion may be biased because Sci-fi is my favorite genre (alongside dystopia/cyberpunk/medieval themes) but seeing someone like you, for whom time travel is not a theme that attracts him, liking the game is good to see
For the most interesting girls purely in terms of story, for me, Jenny is obviously one of them but I would add Luna/Skylar and Riley (yes
Well, to be fair: That it is a Time Travel story only becomes clear later.
I think originally it was more the art style that put me off. I remember playing the beginning and Darci just looked...weird. If I understand this correctly Ep. 1 was "remaster" (?), so that might have helped me to get over the art style in a 2nd attempt. Darci's lower arms and hands still look weird though.
I honestly think the number of women in the game has become somewhat of a problem for the game, because it prevents the story from focusing on a more selective group of them. By now (I'm now in the middle of Ep. 5) it also feels like the MC is just walking from sex scene to sex scene, especially since most of the girls only appear in solo scenes (outside of like Krystal and Daphne). I know, that is also a bit of a weird critic for a porn VN, but I kinda inevitable compare Ripples to other quality VNs like Eternum, PC etc. since that were it stands in the weighted ratings. And most of these games have either a smaller cast (PC), a more structured cast as in clear main LIs and clear side LIs (OiaL) or the cast is closer together as a group, so LIs often appear in the same scenes together, giving them all time to grow (Eternum).
I joked about Ripples not having the harem tag, because at that point I (seemingly) had to decide between Jessica and Skylar and I thought that was the starting point of the game putting more of a focus on individual LIs. Only for Skylar do disappear from the game and the MC pretty much starting two other romances with Jenny and Alyssa.
Maybe it will change later down the line I don't know how large this game is supposed to become, but some characters like Daphne or Janelle really don't seem to serve much of a purpose storywise.

Finally saw your post and please have pity of me, I'm not an English native speaker, that's a long post you've just madeI'm moving this dialogue over, since it is more about Ripples at this point, so the mods might delete it otherwise.

.(sorry in advance if parts of what I'll said are confusing or misleading )I understand your points especially since I know that you prefer solo-LI games,
PC is more based on characters development, how the relation between all the characters evolve and in a sense the relationships between the characters have more "depth" than in Ripples (doesn't mean Jestur doesn't provide depth within his characters development or anything but with the large cast you can't spend as much time with one specific character/LI like you can in PC for example, that's just mathematic)
The point I do agree is that for now, I can see why you said that all the LI doesn't participate actively in the "main storyline" like you could see in Eternum and I could see why you said that you're just seeing the "MC walking around from sex scene to sex scene" but what I know is that the LI will definitly play a more major role later on (

For the "HAREM" tag, I'm sure it has been said before but it doesn't appear here on F95, probably cause the conditions for it are not reached yet but it is present on itch.io
(I got tricked for my first playtrough cause I've only done Darci path and I rejected all the others girls because I was thinting it was a "solo" game and not a harem one, what a fool I was
)She was, on Carla's clothes shopping scene.Could be, when I played OiaL I didn't knew Ripples yet (outside of the fact, that the game existed), so I wouldn't have recognized her.
Don't worry about that, I also didn't like Darci at start, it was actually one of the reasons I didn't pay much attention to this game at first until I gave it another chance. She ended up growing on me, although her relationship with the MC still is odd with me. They aren't in a relationship but in the same time they are ok with all that? Still feels strange. But she's a cool character. I still prefer others over her though, specially Jessica and Tiffany. Skylar I also like but last update made me be one step behind, it really depends on her reasons on future updates (I don't wanna to be more specific or I would spoil you).
edit: nvm, you already know she disappears, so all good.

Not that my ramblings are perfect English by any means.Finally saw your post and please have pity of me, I'm not an English native speaker, that's a long post you've just made
That's why I would think that focusing on fewer characters would've benefitted the game, but of course I don't know where he is going with all those characters. Right now quite a number of them feel like Rebecca from OiaL, not a bad character per se, but not doing anything for the larger story.
Apparently that is the case, yes. Not sure how this is different with Eternum, since the harem isn't "official" between the characters their either so far.For the "HAREM" tag, I'm sure it has been said before but it doesn't appear here on F95, probably cause the conditions for it are not reached yet but it is present on itch.io

Only going with Darci? That must've been a pretty short game then.
Yes, apparently she was, but I wouldn't remember a character that for me was just another background character when I played OiaL.
Yeah, Darci is kinda cool, but weird...or weird, but cool?! And clearly a good friend to the MC...but also pretty annoying in a way.

Yeah understandable, although she appears right on the center of the screen if I recall correctly.Yes, apparently she was, but I wouldn't remember a character that for me was just another background character when I played OiaL.

And yes, she's a bit annoying, but as I mentioned, she grew on me. It is noticeable that she has a good heart in the end, although she's extremely hyperactive.
I just hope we have something for Alice cooked in the future, she's the type of "active" girl I like. Sporty, outspoken, but still ladylike with her charm.

I think the more appropriate way of describing it is that there is not not a harem route right now.

I haven't played the game yet but for you'd there a chance to have a harem route?I think the more appropriate way of describing it is that there is not not a harem route right now.
So far there's an harem route without an harem.
You can have everyone, you can have threesomes and etc, but still isn't confirmed if there will be an harem ending.
For now it's possible to ignore the harem setup and go for a single LI route if you wish and avoid all the other LI, that's how i play Ripples personnally with having a save for each different LI.

Right now you only have to choose one time between two possible LIs, which doesn't stop the MC from hooking up every other girl in the game.
