The render quality and the animations are top top, but honestly this episode felt a bit rush and incomplete
I agree with this.

Don't get me wrong, this episode was fucking incredible visually and I really appreciate it.

It was also a decent length:

However the structure of the plot did make it feel quite unfulfilling ending where it did. I'd rather he didn't do that again because it felt like episode 7 part 1 rather than just "episode 7" and he's just named it as such, perhaps, because the feedback is that part releases kinda suck - and the episode length got out of control in development.

I have no complaints about the content, the writing, or the visuals - just that one thing: only it's quite big because it's your final impression of the episode.

Updated my compressed Android port of Ripples with LightmanP's multi-mod to v0.7.0 Beta.

Got some basic gestures loaded in: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip. Save files are now stored in the Documents folder. This sometimes means that you may need to close and re-open the port after installing so the save folder is properly created.

Due to the size of this game, I've split it out so you will need to install the apk, run it to get it to create the game folder that can be found in your Documents folder: Documents/Eonor/e.ripples/game. Then move the archive.rpa file into that folder and re-run the port.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the ports and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.

This is in contrast with other highly rated games like Being a DIK and Eternum, which with relatively similar amounts of turnaround time give us what feels like double the content (especially BADIK with multiple branching stories).
BAD takes twice as long for what feels like twice the content which seems fair.

Hard agree that Caribdis seems to produce more content per update for similar dev times, but also Ripples has better IQ, even if it's using the less attractive HS1 models (Personal taste variable here) and thus it probably takes Jestur a lot more time to set up lighting to get it looking so good. Whether you think it's worth it is, again, a personal variable.

Lmfao if you are going to wait, then wait, idk why you are telling everyone unless you are looking for kudos or trying to guilt trip people. Have fun playing 2 weeks after literally everyone else. Hope you can avoid spoilers.
Because it was the last part of a conversation which some was deleted by mods, if you look at date and posts you'll see there is 3-4 pages of conversation on this. No problem avoiding spoilers

Just finished the update. I think it was criminal to have so much Darci content and yet not give her a scene. It looks like all the girls are going out to a party next update, so she better get one then!

It looks like they changed the way time travel works. It's now in a modern laboratory and controlled. An interesting development to say the least. I wonder what the motive behind whoever is responsible for that is. They even have a designated leave time, and there is no rush to get them out of the past.

We finally got to see Shit Ninja too! I think we all had a feeling it was Darci.

The Scarlett scene was brilliant. I am a little disappointed there were so few scenes though. Only 3, and one of them was really just a cute moment with Jenny, not really a full-fledged scene. With this party coming up and no current stakes, I expect there to be plenty of scenes next time.

This update had a lot of action and story development, though it felt a little underwhelming. Firstly, Darci did practically everything off-screen. Secondly, the plot with Gabby was that she was tortured and may eventually have been raped and had her organ harvested, but why? Nothing was explained about their motives, and what they were doing with her. It's great they rescued her, but since we are still in 1999 by the end, there is no recognition of the consequences of it. I feel like nothing has progressed in this episode.

I also didn't get the Khloe and Valerie scene. What are the choices required to unlock that path? I didn't recall making any major decisions that would lead to a different outcome. Is this instead of sitting in the park with Scarlett, or the coffee date with Jenny?
