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

[Maccabbee]

It's kind of confusing who the fathers of some of the girls are. Previously, we all theorized that the MC might be the father of all of them, but with all the Patreon bs about incest, that might no longer be the case... Now, with all their similarities, I think a "clones" theory could be valid, maybe because of the time travel ripples, or the experiments at the plant, some of the girls end up getting pregnant with themselves? If that makes sense...

To be fair, it was never confirmed anywhere in the game, it was just supposition in the various forums, Reddits, Discord, etc. I am not convinced that was ever planned, but it could have been. Now I think it was always a red herring.

Oh yeah, I'm in the process of starting a new game and I haven't got up to the newest update yet, another thing that I wanted to mention but I forgot, I'm at the part where MC went back to 1999 again and he's hanging with Scarlet, God damn she's stunning, if I had the option I think that I'd rather stay in 1999, to me it seems like the women are much more sexier in 1999, and thank for responding Xythurr, I wanted to ask, is there a reason why updates times are so long in between? Is that just the way the dev produces them? thanks

All good bud I'm always happy to talk to a fellow fan! Sadly as mr derek von bush said this genre is infamous for its long dev times.
I have some theories why but they would probably irritate some people so I'll leave them out of this. That said Jestur that's this games dev has the best writing IMO I've come across on this site.
I think the humor and everything is even better than the famed Eternum.

I wonder if it was the one about time travel?

You think? I was leaning towards "Luv", the "I can make it hot, I can make it hot, I can make it ho-o-ot" one.

Seriously though, the lyrics of "Our Last Night" come off as something written by a novice — which is basically the case. Still, rock version hits the spot.

Just came across this. Why does Scarlett have the other USB?

Ooooooo! Nice catch

 

[CinderFall201]

Ooooooo! Nice catch

Yeah my eyes just scooted right past it to see if there was anything I could learn from the photos.

Plus a lot of what Jackie says hints at her being Jenny as well. Here's a post another user put together showing a few pretty good examples.


It could all be a red herring intended to throw us off but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Jackie ended up being Jenny.

I also wouldn't be surprised if we get back to '19 and find that Jenny still ended up working at the power plant and going missing in the accident, even after what happened at the end of this update. I'm kind of expecting that to be the case actually.

your logic is 100 percent on the money, buuuuuuut, why wouldn't Tiffany know who Jackie/Jenny is? any time Jenny is brought up aroung Tiffany she implicates that Jenny is dead? thanks for taking the time to post all that

First thing:

Did I miss triggering some wallpapers somewhere along the way, or have they just not been revealed yet? Unrenned the files and nothing jumped out at me, but it just seems odd that, this far along, we have two slots open. Most VNs I've seen have stuff like that at the beginning of a release, but it fills in by the end.

There was a theory floated that Jenny somehow got sent back 20 years (to 1989), when she would have been around 30, and has relived 30 years to 2019, and is now about 60. After getting stuck back, she took on the new identity of Jackie. Which would probably put her daughter (Gabby) in her late 30s now (assuming she got sent back, too) and her granddaughter, Darci, is 18.

Gabby is pretty messed up, one from the kidnapping and, possibly, from living out of time. Don't know if that holds any water at all, but is a way the times would somehow fit. Though, I don't know if we've been told where Jenny's daughter is in the 2019 timeline already - that would let the air out of at least part of that theory. It would also mean Jenny/Jackie was existing in the same time and space as 1999 Jenny until her disappearance in 2009. Yeah - time travel speculation fucks up everything.

Although it’s all very intriguing, I love speculating time travel because the possibilities are endless :O

You are not snarky, you just come off as an insecure child that gets rilled up easily. There's not a single rule on the forum that says you cannot write down what parts you do not like about a game. You're not the doorman of F95 threads, no matter how strongly you feel to lose time over such a thing.

You really come off as one of those obsessed Taylor Swift fans on Twitter. Like I said, it's snowflake behavior.

Guys relax or thread gonna lock, already happened with other game discussions i try to follow...

I Agree, Lets stay on topic

It's kind of confusing who the fathers of some of the girls are. Previously, we all theorized that the MC might be the father of all of them, but with all the Patreon bs about incest, that might no longer be the case... Now, with all their similarities, I think a "clones" theory could be valid, maybe because of the time travel ripples, or the experiments at the plant, some of the girls end up getting pregnant with themselves? If that makes sense...

If none of the 2019 girls are our daughters, it means the MC really meant nothing to the 1999 girls because they got pregnant with another guy quickly after...

The theory that the girls got pregnant like the virgin Mary might be the saving grace

Can you please move on with your point and get over it, it is getting tiring to hear you over and over about the same thing. It makes no sense for me and I bet for most of us here, young people live fast lives and won't wait forever people that they enjoyed to meet/fuck in parties and/or just for a few days in their lives.

People move on with their lives and try to make the most they can with it, I advise you to do the same and be more positive instead of focusing on "MC really meant nothing to the 1999 girls because they got pregnant with another guy quickly after" bullshit that isn't the first time you mention in this thread.

Just came across this. Why does Scarlett have the other USB?

I saw this the first time the scene was shown (once I got done trying to peek down Scarlett's cleavage), so that we would know where the other USB would be but MC needs to figure it out in the story.

As to why, there are a couple of reasons I can think of:

1. MC gets the USB drive later in the story from someone in 1999 and Scarlett in the past is the girl other than Jenny that MC has gotten the closest to (and by my mental tally has had the most sex with). Jenny would be the most trusted to keep it but she's not around to keep it safe so he gives it to Scarlett, and she puts it in her keepsake box with other items related to MC.
2. Alternately, April got the USB drive from MC's dad in 1999 or sometime before the accident and gave it to her sister for safekeeping. Maybe the mix tapes/CD were also gifts from her sister and that's why they are in the box with MC's photos and other memorabilia from that period.
3. Another option is that masky appears to Scarlett in the past convincing her that he's MC (or his dad if that's who he is) telling her to keep it safe and hidden knowing that she would be around in 2019. MC has a relationship to her through her daughters, giving him a way to retrieve the USB drive at the right time.
4. Last one is that Asuka and Scarlett are both redheads and the universe requires them all to be together in order to keep things in quantum balance.

Who the hell is Asuka? I have had a bad memory since I got Covid so feel free to call me stupid.

That was a nice update. I guess I downloaded an i-patch version bc I was taken back when Jenny was like I'm your aunt. I also didn't know she had a missing daughter too. I need to replay this from the beginning bc certain details are lost on me.
