I find it funny how people keep bringing up the incest debate over and over, questioning whether it’s canon in the game or not, only for it to end up going nowhere with everyone sticking to their own views and the topic coming back again and again.

By the way, I asked the staff to add the incest tag back to the thread since it seemed relevant, and they did it pretty quickly. You could have done it yourself too, just saying. ^^

​

Yep I was about to suggest that to them but I really didn't felt like interacting with them more, only made a joke about what is a mod or what isn't but debate about Incest is getting older and older in this thread, pointless debate and not what makes this game enjoyable for me even though I use the non vanilla multi mod.

Hi all my compressed unofficial Android port of Ripples with Naxos LightmanP Walkthrough and patch mod.
Usual gestures, save name/delete, seethru textbox, resizeable game and dialogue text.
Scrollable textbox - no more text off the bottom of your screen
Alternative persistent saves/log location
**Special Instructions:**

Install apk.
Grant storage permissions on first run!
On first run you will get a prompt to copy the archive.rpa file to documents/Wills747/rip.ples/game folder.
(game will quit now)
Copy the archive.rpa file to the directory indicated in game.
Restart the game.
Keep in mind if your default install location is an actual SD card and slow speed this may slow the launch.

Also, keep archive.rpa. I'll use it for future updates to minimise the apk size.
If you have archive.rpa for Ripples you don't need to download it again

I was trying to figure out exactly how to do it. Only, since I'm not a native English speaker, I didn't understand where in the forum to make the request. Every now and then I help myself with a translator. Anyway, thanks for having the tag reintroduced. But yes, in the end it's all a question of vision. Unfortunately, there are those like me who are attached to how the game was during the launch phases. And there are those who only arrived when it had already been removed and reintroduced with various patches. So I can understand that from their point of view it's different. In the end, everyone plays the game as they see fit. If they want, they use the patch, if they don't want, they don't use it, I don't see why there should always be a return to this debate. anyway, thanks for having requested the tag.

No worries, I just did it because it was easy and I could help out. If you want to do it yourself next time, all you need to do is report the OP of the thread, explain why, submit it, and wait for the staff’s decision. Also, don’t stress about not being a native English speaker. I’m French and I use translation tools too.

I understand your point, and I actually share your view. It makes more sense given the relationships in the game and the overall theme of time travel and its consequences. That said, I didn’t realize this was originally part of the base game when it first launched.

Honestly, this whole debate feels a bit worn out by now. At the end of the day, everyone should be free to enjoy Ripples in the way that fits them best.

Yep I was about to suggest that to them but I really didn't felt like interacting with them more, only made a joke about what is a mod or what isn't but debate about Incest is getting older and older in this thread, pointless debate and not what makes this game enjoyable for me even though I use the non vanilla multi mod.

There’s no harm done. Although some might take it the wrong way sometimes, it doesn’t take much for that to happen. No matter what, this debate will likely resurface sooner or later. I fully agree that everyone should enjoy the game in their own way. Whether incest is involved or not doesn’t drastically change the overall gaming experience.

so when everyone is done arguing about what is or isn't a mod can someone just confirm if the mod which might or might not be part of the game has been updated?

thank you

 

[SafeForSure]

Just download the game and start playing. You won't regret it.

Totally agree what a fantastic game i cant remember having so much fun playing in a long time. And the scene with poor cute Alyssa and Riley left me with tears from laughing.

This is one of those games that is so damn good with its story-telling and graphics. It isn't always true that you find such high quality in both categories, but this one delivers on both fronts. The writer actually knows the difference between the words 'than' and 'then' which shouldn't be such a big deal, but here we are. As for the graphics and visuals, damn. The animations are amazing, the use of them in non-sexual situations really elevate this AVN to almost cinematic heights. The sexual animations really shine, though. So many AVNs throw animations in as some item on a checklist but there is so much clipping, misalignment and awkward loop points that all eroticism is lost and they should have stuck with still images. In this one the movement is fluid, the loops seem seamless and there is hardly any (if at all) clipping. This makes the animation of the sex scenes enhance their eroticism greatly.

Just as an example of the extremely impressive level of detail, check this out.

At the diner before you get to the party:


Later that night:


Notice something here? The panty line you can see under her skirt actually matches the panties she is wearing under them.
That attention to detail is pretty rare. Pair that with the music that fits the scenes and the variety of the environments. This game ridiculously out-classes so many others, it almost deserves a different category.

Yep and that category should be "Best HS1 graphic engine game that puts to shame plenty of other HS2 games" haha. Agree, Jestur attention to detail and visual clues and communication has always been superb since I first played the game. This is one more reason you will never see me complain with development gaps between updates. It is all worth with this quality even if the game takes long to see the finish line.

 

[SonsOfLiberty]

Yeah, I don't know either. Other games get away wirh it, just fine. No patch, has dampened the experience for sure. I haven't even played since the last time the I patch existed.

I tried, it just feels unnatural and not right. And I don't like mods or like to use mods I just wish we could go back to the having the patch, so I can play the true version of this game, the way it was meant to be when this started.

Because before v0.7 came out, a bunch (I DO MEAN A BUNCH) of Patreon accounts got nuked out of orbit by Patreon, all because they had "patches" in the OP of threads on F95. Even more damning this one had one at Lewdpatcher, since well, those aren't well, if ya know, ya know.....

Patreon didn't care who made the patch, I could whip up a patch right now, it could get added to the OP of some game, and it could put the dev at risk.

Since 90% of devs and Patreon being the main source of income, they didn't want to take any more risks. I mean, I wouldn't want to risk

You must be registered to see the links

Yes, yes, YES, Jestur has a SubscribeStar, but let's be real, barely anyone likes using that site and most dev's who get banned on Patreon that go there end up dying a very slow death.

Bootsy doesn't allow adult content now as well, so the sites devs can profit form is dwindling.

Maybe one day, Jestur can get it on Steam and the "uncensored" version can return the way the dev intended the game to be since Steam doesn't care about incest, rape, or blackmail.

Wills747, of course you're cool. Good port. But! The update came out in 24, in October, I think. Roughly speaking, a couple of sex scenes in half a year. And your port is 4 gigs, that's too much for just two new scenes, especially since there are 2 girls with whom there were already animations. Oh yeah, there's also a freezing animation with a scruffy girl at the end, but that's irrelevant. BE released a 1.3 gig port. That's where the size is cool. For 2 new scenes, 2 threesomes, the size is just right. The game is good, but there are few scenes, so you can't keep 4 gigs on your phone. That's Lust city 2 + TFMG 4 combined in size.

The 2 out of 4 party activities was my only major issue with this update. It really irked me, and I do not understand the logic behind it. First of all, there was no indication that we could only pick two which is annoying in and of itself...but that's just a small gripe. The real issue is that it felt like all scenes were necessary. 1) The Jenny scene in particular should not be miss-able if you are on her route. I mean it is literally the home screen of the update. 2) The Misty conversation was short, but opens up a path for future content with her. If we did not have this convo, will we not get to pursue her later on? 3) Similar concerns about the Tori threesome. Will we be locked out of future Tori content if we didn't fuck her at the party? 4) The Scarlett/Valerie threesome opens up the anal kink for Scarlett as well as our first sex scene with Valerie.

I ended up going with the Jenny & Scarlett/Val scenes because they feel the most important...but it would have been nice to just do all four scenes especially since 2/4 are relatively short and non-lewd.

Personally i hoped Jestur dropped the future contents related with Tori,Misty and Vanessa as we have so many girls already that needs a relationship build up like Jessica, the Twins ( Scarlet's daughters ), older Luna and younger perhaps? (after last farewell in this update i really doubt that we will meet her younger self again but who knows), Tiffany and her younger self (i hope), April (Scarlet's sister),Jackie,Shelby,Dani etc, having more girls only halted the relationship build up with the all the more important girls and the plot itself also affected.

 

[shucia]

Now that the author is actively moving away from the daughters being MCs daughters, half the plot doesn't make sense anymore. With noone getting creampied, Luna didn't even have sex, it isn't even left ambiguous. No chick is going to remember that one out of town dude they saw at a party and might have had drunken sex with 20 years ago. There is no significant connection between MC and the mothers in present time.

You underestimated human emotion, Luna will remember him for sure, Scarlet and especially Jenny also after the revelation as no one would ever forget that.

 

[al.shm]

Need tiffany contents realy after 5 yeras we deserve to get a nice content for her not just 10 sec kiss scene

 

[shucia]

I love Luna, so I'm trying to understand her life choices. At the lake, she says we're one of the very few persons she can truly connect with. She is willing to drive back and forth between towns to see us if we were too busy to visit her. She was on the path to falling in love.

But then she gets pregnant in the near future (the next few months). This seems like a slight betrayal, given how strong her feelings seemed to be. She was a bit too quick to take the line "we'll meet again in 20 years" literally.

So did she run back to her old boyfriend? She didn't want to hear from him anymore in the previous episode. Was it a random encounter? I doubt she ever went to a party again after what happened. And with her financial issues, getting pregnant was probably the last thing she wanted at that point in time.

More than anything in the next episode, I hope we'll get to meet her again and lay our cards on the table.

I doubt that our MC will meet her younger self again ( which is a shame) after that farewell because its kinda losing the impact imo, i can understand if she quickly moving on tho after all that revelation from Cindy it must be a huge shock for her and remember they are teenager and saying "we'll meet again in 20 years" kinda a lame cheesy/pickup line lol. and with her feeling dissapointed/betrayed and then some dude moving in trying to console her, it does make sense at least for me if this is the case.

I guess the reason Honey Select games can't be sold on Steam is because honey select isn't like DAZ which is designed for the purpose of doing games?
The company that makes honey select, Illusion, went bankrupt a couple of years ago, dunno if that changed anything?

For what I understand it is a limitation of the OS itself and not of the phone hardware. I'm not really sure because only games I play on my phone are mostly puzzle games, have no idea how people can even read AVNs (well I guess they don't use it to really "read" ) on phones haha Would damage even more my poor sight.

Weird. Lol. I know you can download the PC version and run in JoiPlay and it doesn't seem to care about the file size. But I've also downloaded APKs bigger than 3gb and still ran them fine

Yes it can still run apk larger than 2gb, but that number is the threshold to ensure that is safe, over that for what I read about can cause issues. Just search on the web about it and find a reliable source of information, easiest way than just my little knowledge about the topic .
