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

[R3kteye]

I got home from work at 12:49 am and stayed up to play this update n all i can say is "ABSOLUTE PEAK WRITING". Thank you so much Jestur

 

[alex13_zen]

She looks pretty good in 2020 too but I'm too lazy to grab a screenshot

She's still radiant, for sure

 

[Pax Draconis]

Did he? Do you have a source for that?

There's actually choices that give harem points in the code. They involve Darci, Krystal and Daphne at this point. At one point a couple of years back Jestur was talking about how even the Jessica and Skylar choices wouldn't ultimately preclude a player from pursuing both of them, it would just slow down the paths for those two respectively. That might have changed, but then the game is not finished yet.

It hasn’t changed in the sense that the harem point continued to be implemented in EP8

"Haremon! Gotta catch em all!" lol. Btw after playing the last update with the incest patch enabled, I kinda found the Nephew and Aunt thing kinda weird especially during sex. Imagine yelling out Aunt and Nephew during sex lol. That would just confuse my boner. Mommy and Son rolls off the tongue much easier.

Yeah 100 procent agree, I just play with the I patch because of the Multi mod

It would confuse my boner too but only because my aunt is ugly as shit.

There is a vanilla version of the multi-mod without incest if it really bothers you

I agree, and I love em all, but:

Nothing in there about "harem." Some throuples and threesomes and moresomes, maybe. It's also possible that there are no permanent relationships, endgame, or we have to sacrifice ourselves to save the girls, or something. Harems imply semi-permanent relationships...

Here is the an example from Pitrik who talks to the dev and the dev upvoted it. There is another post on here somewhere with the direct quote from jestur.

A few relevant direct quotes regarding harem plans, including one from this year.

So it's not been clearly stated that it'll be full harem (at least that I can find), but there definitely are harem path(s). In any case, Jestur has been pretty tight-lipped about exactly what that means, probably for story spoiler reasons if I had to guess.

Edit: There are actually both "harem" and "poly" points in the scripts. I think early on they were called "harem" points, but have changed to "poly" points around the middle of Episode 3 (you can get a "poly" point in Episode 8 for example, not a "harem" point).

And in the Variables script file, Jestur left this comment about the "poly" variable:

That variable change doesn't necessarily mean a harem was removed from the plan though, since a harem is a form of poly. Particularly since the comment calls it poly or harem points. If I had to guess, it probably was changed to encompass a broader range of CNM relationship outcomes.

Interesting that one of the quotes says "some girls are jealous". The only one I can think of would be Jessica. Ironically, she's the least entitled to being jealous since we haven't really done anything lewd with her (at least if we favor Skylar).

But I'm most curious to see how this will play out between mothers and daughters, there's a potential rivalry here that could be interesting to explore. Even Scarlett shows some insecurity at one point saying "I wanted to check something. Unless you don't find older women attractive".

Yeah, the mother/daughter scenarios are some I'm really curious to see how they resolve. I can imagine quite a few women open to polyamory might not be as keen on the idea if it also involves their mom or daughter.

That said, there's plenty of other AVNs out there (including another particularly popular HS game) where the mom acts essentially as the poly-enabler. And based on Episode 8, Scarlett potentially is heading that direction, since she seems quite sexually open on the poly path, and seems to potentially recognize MC in the present.

To anyone that has played the latest update Is it better to stay and continue playing the drinking game? If I choose to stay, do I miss content with Jenny and Luna?

I think Darci gets jealous too. At the beginning you can get points with her if you tell her having sex with Krystal was a mistake or remain ambivalent/get harem points if you tell her it was just about sex.

You should stay and play, I tried both options and there's no content to be missed by staying from what I saw.

stay or you miss a lot of hot scenes

I highly doubt Khloe or Ms Gilmour/Jenny? will mind either. Khloe is..well Khloe who may have been a porn star at some point based on Krystal saying she has so many nasty videos on the internet that they couldn't blackmail her with them .
Ms GILF is making moves on the MC despite knowing her granddaughter's already playing with him.
We know Krystal doesn't mind sharing from her own mouth.

I love this game but my computer really struggles to load a lot of the frames of the animations, which massively takes the air out of the lewd scenes and a number of important story moments. I'm only playing on a laptop so obviously not a very powerful machine but it's got more than 20gb of free space and it seems to run basically everything else fine. Is there anything I can do differently to see the animations properly or am I cursed to watch glitchy, stop-start slideshows in place of the sex scenes?
I am playing the PC version of the game out of the mac renpy launcher if that's relevant

Oh for sure. I was just giving one example of one mother that I thought could be a poly-enabler with their daughter too.

Disk space wouldn't affect this. Stuttering during cutscenes means your computer is having issues reading or decoding the video fast enough. That's mainly a CPU or integrated GPU issue.

Others might have suggestions to help with this, but I unfortunately do not.

Does anyone kindly have a screenshot on how to unlock this? I read the Hint, but after reviewing the scene 5 times, I still can't unlock it. Luna is too distracting...
