I took my time playing the latest rev of Ripples and I started back in EP 3 for the immersion.

This was a great rev!

I'm really looking forward to the next rev and I'm hoping that, even with a major focus on Skylar, Tiffany, Alyssa (Scarlett) and Jessica will also get enough 'screen' time to advance their stories.

Thanks to Jestur for the great update!!

The videos seem to use a lot of CPU on decode/playback. Free up more CPU by closing your browser in particular plus anything else that's eating up cycles. Of course if your CPU is shitty enough, like mine, that won't be enough.

You can try a custom built ffmpeg MMX enabled Ren'Py lib/ for either Linux or Windows. Caveat is I built it without any of the SDKs. It did have a seg fault with Jessica's poke video (worked 2nd time), but it seemed fine otherwise. I did not replay the entire game with it. YYMV.

Linux users need to rename Ripples-0.4.5-pc/lib/py3-linux-x86_64/renpy to Ripples-0.4.5-pc/lib/py3-linux-x86_64/Ripples.
Windows users do nothing :WaitWhat: or possibly rename & move Ripples-0.4.5-pc/lib/py3-windows-x86_64/renpy.exe to Ripples-0.4.5-pc/Ripples.exe.
Custom lib - MMX enabled, but no SDKs [Linux/Win]

Otherwise, you can transcode the videos to 30 FPS - VP8 - lower bitrate *.webms (also convert the 10-bit color videos) or

. I may have been chasing some double animations so the quality level & bitrate could likely be a bit higher (depending on CPU).

Hi, my antivirus McAfee detected a virus from the first link. May you upload it again to another hosting site please?

Digging the game, but I have no idea why this game has a "lesbian" tag (unless it was because of a couple of quick makeouts). Hopefully that will change at some point-- those redhead twins or the Mom+Aunt would make an amazing threesome.

It's an Approved File Host. The page works with only the base HTML, scripting disabled, or try with one of them adblockers. With that said I added a Transfer.sh link to the post.

Thank you, now my AV didn't detect a virus. Now the problem is other, some games where the animations don't run smoothly are still in Python 2.7 and not 3.9 as the file you uploaded. Is it possible to make a file for those games too? For example, in the previous version of Freshwomen the animations run perfectly, but in the new one (still Python 2.7 but an updated renpy version) those same animations are laggy.

It's not that simple as py2- or py3-. It needs to be built against a compatible Ren'Py version as well (e.g. changes to modules in Ren'Py version X.x) otherwise it crashes.

To do this properly and not have to hack out parts of the build I would need the

(Android NDK is a simple download). However I'm not going to do the sign-ups just to be able to download their SDKs...

Hands down one of the best shit that I've ever played. It's just that you can't act on your own so... But overall, good shit.

When the story is so well-written, it's really hard to deviate and branch it out. While it definitely is possible, it would require a fuckton more time and effort with multiple writers to get a huge branching story. Maybe it's that the bar is so low, or maybe it's just that damn good. Either way I agree that Ripples' main plot is head-and-shoulders above every other VN on this site bar a select few.
I don't play these games on F95 for the story - as I usually just want a quick fap - but in every media form that I consume, the story is the most important to me and the fact that Jestur has had me hooked on the story rather than the sex - which I might add is of the higher quality here - speaks leaps and bounds about how well-cooked it is.
I just truly hope the seeds that I've seen planted with the small hints that were given from the get-go weren't just throwaways and actually play a role towards the end.

So, does the last sentence mean that your not going to do more hacking for other renpy versions?

Thanks anyway for your help, it's appreciated.

Now THAT'S a fucking update, people! Other devs take notice. Usually these incremental bumps are bittersweet. You look forward to it for months for a single sex scene and a fuck ton of exposition. But this lastest? Bravo man.

**************SPOILER ALERT**************

!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Immediatly after the super hot scene with Darci (love her) which escalated rapidly, I started lookig for the "thanks for playing" sign off. So I considered the scene with Alyssa a nice bonus, and you get Scarlett's sweet tits in your face on the way out the door! (Mother-daughter really ought to be standard with these things.)
But the freakin' lingere shoot at Janelle's? I lost it around the time Daphne sits on your lap in the dressing room. And by it I mean about pound of jizz that had been backing up. Well done! No notes. Except this one. More please!
p.s. I almost never post here but I had to give you kudos.

Glad you enjoyed the update, but there are multiple spoiler-hiding options.

First, there's the inline spoiler option, which hides text behind a cloud. You can add this by clicking on the three dots next to the flag icon at the top of the edit window, then the dotted flag that pops up..

Thanks, I never knew about the insert icon to make the cloud spoiler effect!
