VN Ren'Py Ripples [v0.8.0 Public] [Jestur]

[PaxHadrian17]

While Shelby isn't my favorite or anything I would of said fuck her and wrote her off but after seeing her dad in the last episode idk anymore . I want to wait till more of her story unfolds before I judge her now.

Shelby started off as a villain and mean girl.

Between the photoshoot and Shelby's conversation with her dad while the MC and Sklyar are dining at the same restaurant, I see a Shelby who is evolving as a person.

I don't give her a free pass for what she did earlier in Ripples But I will give her the opportunity to climb out of the pit she dug for herself.





Here, in the restaurant, Shelby blushes when she notices the MC is at the restaurant (why blush if he does not matter to her).

I think she is starting to care about the MC, but she does not know how to get out of the hole she has dug with him and his friends.

It will be interesting to see if Shelby will become an ally to the MC in the future.

I believe that her father is part of the 'evil' faction investigating/trying to take advantage of the time machine/research lab mystery and Shelby has a part to play in the conflict between the two? factions involved.

Cheers!!

I can't get the first hidden render in episode six, the clickable thingy refuse to appear. The hint from the gallery "winter is comming" isn't really helpfull. And the hint from the WT can't help me neither...

As soon as she was introduced, I had a feeling a redemption arc was planned for her, and, yes, now we get to see that it was nurture, not nature, that likely led her to being a bit of a queen-bee bitch: she's ignored and dismissed at home by her dog of a father, but she's also wealthy so she has the means to buy status and loyalty amongst peers and elevate herself. MC might be helping her learn that she can get the affection and respect she wants and needs in other ways. She still isn't my "best girl", but I want her to have a good ending.

As for her sperm donor being part of the evil faction, I think earlier conversations (maybe Riley, but also with Krystal) basically confirms that - it's even acknowledged by MC in that scene, if I recall correctly.

Are you using the walkthrough mod? I couldn't get the first two, but the others appeared just fine. I think there's a glitch that involves the walthrough mod, as something similar happened in Ep5 with the hidden image during the lingerie shoot - the pineapple appeared, but you couldn't trigger it no matter how many times you clicked on it. That was fixed in this episode, as I was able to go back and get it and have it appear in the gallery. Might need for LightmanP to do a review of his mod to see if it is indeed creating the issue, as SteveyP has confirmed they all work in the unmodded version of the VN.

Still a few months away it looks like. I'm guessing anywhere from 3-6 months.

It's a circle I think, a flat one

No there is not AFAIK.

Since it is unconfirmed whether MC actually is the Father of Krystal, Skylar, Darcy, Shelby, ... , or not.
It is "relatively clear" that Jessica is only his sister, though.
At least it is so far.

Maybe Jessica is his daughter as well and he traveled a year further than we have experienced now ...

Would explain his mothers strange behavior at times, why he could not find his dad in 1999 and why the job interview at the powerplant was so important to the masked dude.

Very likely. Yes.

MC in the middle and straight lines to all girls "of appropriate age"

Hello,

I've just discovered this forum, so I'm new here. Firstly, congratulations on the game; the story is excellently crafted, and the graphics are beyond words. I truly admire those who can seamlessly blend technique and art.

I have two questions, and I'm not sure if it's normal or if there's an issue. First, I don't have any sound in the game. I've checked all the audio settings, but since there are volume options, I'm wondering if this might be normal. Second, regarding the animations, they seem to loop with a maximum duration of 1 to 2 seconds. Is this a normal feature of the game?

Also, I want to mention that I've tried modifying all the options to resolve these problems, but it hasn't worked. Is there a configuration file where I could change values to fix these issues

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

It's usually either the delivery, or the lack of any context or reasoning, that identifies someone as a troll. They also have a tendency to use what are likely secondary accounts - a few years old, very few comments relative to the age of the account (e.g., the account was created in 2018 but there are only a 100 or so comments, maybe less) and a history (you can easily check this) of making incendiary remarks elsewhere. I've often seen comments or reviews that reek of either an alternate account for a Dev, or a Dev acolyte.

Real trolls are easy to identify, and then ignore, if you just pay a little bit of attention.

Lol I'm one of those old accounts with relatively few posts. In my case it's because I came here and downloaded things without engaging with the community for years until very recently.
I was an active member of ye olde hongfire days though.

Yeah, but you aren't a troll. (Usually. )

Which version of Ripples are you playing (PC, Mac, Android)?

I play the PC version and I have no problem with audio.

I can increase/decrease volume on both the preferences page as well as on the PC itself.

RE: animations, Ripples has Many animations, with a significant number being the short 1-2 second variation loops as part of immersion.

I don't know how far you are into Ripples, so I don't know if your sound problem and a potential animation problem are connected.

If you are playing modded Ripples (you modified the AVN with either the multi-mod or the gallery unlocker), did you make sure to put those files in the correct location?

If you are, you could delete the current Ripples rev, reextract it and then try it without mods to see if you now have audio.

If you do this and now have audio, then make sure that any mod files go into the correct folder (typically 'game') and restart Ripples to see if you still have audio.

If none of the above works and you are using the PC version:

My recommendation - start with a new download just in case your first download was somehow corrupted.

If you are playing Android or Mac, reply with that information and someone with experience with those systems may be able to help beyond my new download recommendation.

Cheers!!

Please check if you have not accidentally started the game twice.
No having no sound is not normal.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm playing on PC and version is 0.6.0.
Actually, i'm in épisode 3 and all animations from the start of the game still loop After 2s max.
I have chevolume on my PC so i can see if program is on an other output but he don't show anywhere.
I'll download it again and let you know if it's solved problems.

I'm replaying the scene with Jessica's photo session in her bedroom, and the moment she's sitting on the bed in panties, socks, and a barely there top, and she says "Tell me how you want me"!

Download for the horny, keep playing for the lore
Jokes aside very good game, i was even talking to my friends and the history of the game could easily be a cool movie or a series, sex scenes are hot(could have more fetish options but is cool) but damn the time travel stuff, with things he already did but don't know is just great

 

[Bill Temple]

I liked the plot twist.
Part one: "I'm having inexplicable wacky sound problems."
Part two: The troubleshooting squad gives a lot of tips.
Part three: "BTW, I have some uncommon software that does wacky things with sound volume and channels that I haven't checked yet. Maybe I should do that."

I don't miss my days working the help desk.
