With Skylar i don't need a harem

But if will end as harem i don't mind

I think this game will go harem route honestly. You can get with everyone you want except you have to make a choice between skyalr and jessica, and even with that I don't remember where or when(might of been late last year when I saw something on discord), but the dev hinted at or insinuated that those paths will eventually converge, so I think the route specific scenes are only for a little bit. So I am pretty convinced this is a harem. The one thing I don't want is the popular theory of mc being everyone's dad, that is the thing I want least to happen personally.

 

[The Senior Perv]

If a harem route is something the dev wants to do then I'm for it, but for devs that aren't planning or have a desire to make a harem route then it's not going to be worth reading. It's like woodworking. I make some fucking awesome furniture. I can make a decent small crafts like picture frames, spice racks, jewelry boxes, etc. The difference is my heart isn't in it. I don't enjoy those little projects, so I don't do it much, so my skills aren't good. I don't give the care and attention to detail that's required to make them really exemplary. Game devs that don't want to make harem routes aren't going to put their hearts into it.
The same goes for really any aspect of a game. If someone jumps into a thread or patreon page and start pressuring a dev who's already shown resistance or reluctance to some plot idea, fetish, or game play style, then it's not going to work out well in most cases. Feel free to tell them what you'd like to see, sure, but leave it there. That's basically what the cucks do, but they still get a worse rap than the harem boyz. When a dev resists a harem, I've seen the harem crowd chime in with the economic benefits of doing what they want. "Dev~kun, why don't you make this a harem game. Most players are harem players if you don't know. They want to play and support harem games. If you make a harem route, your game would have so much more appeal. I bet your game would become so successful after adding a harem route, you'd probably be able to afford to buy several rental properties in Monaco or St. Barts." If they don't win him over with that round, they up the stakes. "You know, Dev~kun, that's a real nice game you have there. I'd hate to see anything bad happen to your reviews or god forbid... your paytreon. I mean, me and my friends was just saying how much we like your game. But it really needs that harem route. With a harem route we'd be sooo much happier, and when we're happy, you'll be happier. Trust me. Without a harem route, I think we'd be forced to let our opinions about this issue be heard, if you know what I'm sayin. Why don't youz just add a harem route, so we can all be happy, capiche? It's a win-win!"

The harems lovers also use the excuse of not having enough time, due to work or school, to play all the routes made for the game. It's as if they wanted the dev to feel guilt about how the harem boys are all hard working but are still sacrificing their few free time to enjoy the visual novel, so it's the dev's obligation to please them and make a harem in a story that probably wasn't going to have one... but of course, those guys will demand it without supporting the dev because they "don't have time" for that, they only have time to cry about how all adult games should be harems.

I... I don't even know whether I should explain?

Out of ignorance? You don't have to.

 

[shucia]

There are over 20+ girls in this game which is practically impossible to have a harem ending even for a porn game logic, the best we could get probably a mini harem ending for example a Skylar+Jessica ending or Scarlet's daughters ending etc, as long we could have a sex scene with each of the girls then im fine with that personally.

I kinda prefer such a scenario. Full harem games... do your choices in the game even matter if mc in the end gets all the ladies anyway?

Talking about that shit of ntr in a thread of a game that doesnt have a trace of It...



¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[MrDude1977]

As a fan of harem games, I disagree with you!

Every game needs variety, there is enough in the game and two girls as well as three girls do not have to be 5 or 8 LI, this spoils the interest and playing time for each character. Each game is good in its own way, with a logical plot, like a harem, like solo endings.

Ripples is good even without a harem, it is of high quality as well as an intriguing plot. If Jestur decides to have a harem, then ok, I’ll be glad! if not, so be it.
the main thing is to enjoy game

Well just my opinion but solo routes usually tells the same story every time just tad bit extra for each girl you choose which is not worth replaying and i rarely do replay a game so it would be easier to just go Harem.

Patiently waiting and hoping for a next week release.

 

[jvbatman]

At the pace this game is going it's going to be 10+ years before we see anything close to an ending. I wouldn't worry about it and just enjoy the constant banging.

Still a little patience

Still a little patience

Not trying to dig at you or anything. It's just the nature of solo/small team development. The rendering alone is going to take years.

High-quality renders as the Ripples ones take time and Jestur wants to always give a perfect product

I think this game will go harem route honestly. You can get with everyone you want except you have to make a choice between skyalr and jessica, and even with that I don't remember where or when(might of been late last year when I saw something on discord), but the dev hinted at or insinuated that those paths will eventually converge, so I think the route specific scenes are only for a little bit. So I am pretty convinced this is a harem. The one thing I don't want is the popular theory of mc being everyone's dad, that is the thing I want least to happen personally.

You don't need to worry about him being everyone's dad. The timelines don't match up. Basic calculations prove this, but no one seems to do them because they really want it to be true. I posted a more detailed explanation a long time back.

 

[somedude0190]

This is probably a dumb comment but oh well wouldn't be the first time. I wish they level list for Patreons could be adjusted to some degree. Like if you don't care to have all the other cool things that come with the top tier but you want top tier access then there is top tier A and top tier B top tier A comes with all bells and whistles and top tier B only has the early access. Just my random ramblings please take it as nothing more than that I don't mean to offend or piss off anyone.

(Edit: this was meant as a comment for any game patreon not specifically this game just my random thoughts out loud)

For me the reason I want harem ending isn't really cause I want to have like 8 different women, but I want to see all their endings and before you say it yes I can just run through multiple times and some games they make you do it that way, but for me I hate turning down or being mean to people in the game I like. I can't imagine going a route without Skylar since to me she is awesome but at the same time there are at LEAST 5 others I couldn't imagine not seeing their best ending. Granted that is just my personal opinion I wouldn't ever want to change the story the creator had in mind to full fill my whims

I know I am weird and that was a second random rant/rambling if you took the time to read this far I hope you have an amazing night/day

 

[Sasugachan]

I don't mind playing a good game multiple times to see everything I want to see, but I can understand those who would want some way to experience it all in one go. It's not weird at all.
