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

[Maccabbee]

Doesn't change the fact that the game tracks points literally called "harem" and when asked directly his answer included "Yes". Just because it's not tagged here doesn't mean it won't be in the game. I'm guessing what he means by harem-like is that not all the women will be available for it. Which would make sense, I can't see Shelby for example being happily in a harem along with Darci and Skylar.

...or especially vice-versa. Darci wants to rip her lips off. Reconciliations happen, though. I am trying to get Shelby to fix herself and get over her trauma. Sad that Darci hates her friend, when she's actually really sweet. Guilt by association.

Like I said, I would love it if it's true. I would poly-marry Scarlett and her daughters, and include Skylar, Luna, and whomever else wants in. Valerie is really fun past and present. I just doubt that this story will allow that.

I will say it's interesting that we're still in the past at the end of this one. Usually it's one in the present, one in the past and so on. The fact that we've been in the past for 2 makes me feel like making any progress in the present with any of the characters there keeps getting farther and farther away.

Are we close to having Tiffany or Jessica at all? Not really. We've only really spent time with one of Scarlett's twins. The other one apparently has some shitty boyfriend that's causing her problems but we've never even touched that. I think she's been on screen and talking a total of twice even though she's apparently one of the MC's closer friends.

I get that the Past is where the plot is and that to try to change the present we have to go there more often, but I really am starting to feel like the present is getting further away from any kind of progress outside of Skylar and Darci.

2019, but yeah. That was fun. It's not canon, though, right? We didn't have to get involved. I did, and I would go to the mats for Alice any day.

The modeling shoot was absolutely fantastic, the whole scene, in all variations. I look forward to where that goes.

Yeah you're right, I think Darci would be the one to go hostile and attempt to murder Shelby first, while Skylar cheers from the sidelines

Dani is actually pretty sweet I agree, it's a shame she's so close with Shelby. I think we might be able to get Darci to come around on Dani. Shelby would be a lot tougher to change Darcis mind about, not impossible, but damn difficult.

As I mentioned earlier in here, Dani developing as a character to be more independent is one of my favorite aspects of the game, as well as her unique combination of hyper-intelligent/complete idiot/absolute hornball. In some ways she reminds me of Scarlett the Squirrel in the comic Sequential Art.

Just use the mod download tagged vanilla. That one doesn't have the incest patch.

Skylar seems to be the face of this game, right? But even if we get the next episode this year, it will still be about 2 years since we last saw her in ep6. Granted, it was one of the best dates in any AVN I've played... but that only makes it harder to not see her for so long!

Which is especially tragic because she had a discussion with MC a few updates ago regarding Dani, and she said she would give her a chance, if I remember correctly. But well, Darci was pretty drunk at the time and a bad first impression is hard to overcome.

If every "choice" was a non-canon event, the final story would be missing a lot. I'm sure Jestur has a "canon" version of the story in his outlines, so one of the choices must be canon. And I'd be surprised if NOT getting involved was the canon choice in this story.

Yeah, in many games the canon things are the ones you don't get to choose, they just happen. There's so many choices in this game, though. I would never leave my friend in that kind of situation (though you don't get too much of their friendship at this point).

Travelling back and forth in time is canon, romancing a girl is not as that's a choice

 

[Pax Draconis]

Just figured out how Jestur can get around not having the MC be the father of the girls in the future without NTR. He could make the MC sterile and all the girls born through IVF.

 

[Mauser45]

I actually think it's hilarious that he's potentially banging his own daughters

Also, I TRULY hope that history has indeed changed after the last update. Can't wait to go back to 2019 and see...

 

[FutabaSakura8]

I really like how Jestur keeps developing his artistic approach. All those angle switches, camera zoom-outs etc. I especially liked the foreshadowing in the Scarlett/Valerie scene, the one right after Valerie takes the MC to the bedroom. I haven’t seen anything like that in other AVNs.

Bro also really stepped up his BGM game. I used to consider the BGM in Ripples — especially during the sex scenes — the weakest part of the AVN. But now? It's just *chef’s kiss*.

Well its a bunch of ai-gen music, nothing to be impressed by.

 

[DavidF1970]

Dev should add pregnancy so mc can fuck all the women in 1999 get them all pregnant then all his friends in 2019 are actually his daughters that would be fun

Why does it matter at all whether the choice is canon or not? DougsLeftNut said that intervening with Alices boyfriend will probably give an in for rapid progress with her when we get back. And it might, it does give her a few points and creates a variable to track whether you talked the guy down or knocked him out. It also tracks if you just walked away from that encounter, which Alice might not be too thrilled with next time we meet her.

It's like any of the other dozens of choices in this game, either do it if you're interested in Alice or want to show off for Skylar, or don't.

Does anyone here ever seriously look at a choice that pops up in this game and think "Hmm which choice is the canon route?". I know I sure as hell don't, I pick the choice that makes sense to me, and will get me more points with the women I like. Which is ALL OF THEM in this game

Damn, D. That's a dark take. How about helping Alice because she's one of your best friends, and her shitty boyfriend is an abusive cunt?

 

[Daermon420]

Yep, which is why the choice to intervene made sense to me and I chose to knock that fucker out. The points with the girls were just a bonus in that case.

I could see why some others might choose not to intervene though, especially with how Alice treats the MC not long before that enounter. She's a bit of a bitch to him. She hasn't really acted like one of his best friends except the first time we met her in the library.

Edit: Something about the best friends statement felt a bit off to me and it's been a while since I played through from the start so I skipped through real quick to check the Alice scenes. You only meet her twice before that encounter on the date with Skylar. Once at the library in the beginning and they walk home together, where they're friendly with each other but clearly not friends, classmates and acquaintances at best.

Then again when going to spend time with Alyssa you run into her at their house. She seems upset and MC offers to lend an ear if she needs someone to talk to. She tells him to mind his own business and walks away. So definitely not friends.

MC doesn't encounter her again until the date where she's arguing with her boyfriend.

You're not choosing whether to intervene to protect one of your best friends from her shitty boyfriend. You're choosing whether to get in the middle of a lovers spat between a classmate you barely know and her boyfriend, when she's already told you to mind your own business.

It's a lot less black and white than just helping a best friend out.
