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

[pitao]

I mean, I don't want to watch one of "my" LIs getting it on with another guy, especially once I've been with her--not my kink. I don't want to know that it's happened over a short timeframe (I'm with her Monday, he's with her off-screen Tuesday, I'm with her Wednesday). But at the absolute best, it's going to be ambiguous whether Scarlett was with someone else between 1999 and 2019 (maybe we see MC come back in 2000, making it possible he's the twins' father; maybe we're told it happens but we don't see it; maybe it's left completely unstated, allowing those who want to believe it to do so), and it's entirely possible we'll know the twins' father is someone else. But if I'm gone for that 20 years, eh, not a big deal for me.

Don't worry I knew what you meant on your prior post, just put that note about you to enforce that I don't put you in that category, it would be easy for you to assume I did. I also don't play those tag paths/routes but I also don't discriminate who does, besides radicals about it of course. Those get the same treatment from me than the Anti on the same topic.

Also Jestur knows their audience and would be a mistake if they gave intimate details or god forbid flashbacks with their daughters father haha. That is why I'm not worried in the least that would happen because it won't, we as in the MC point of view have to understand that 20 years is a lot of time and life goes on.

Definitely. She's not pushing the "friends-to-lovers" button for me (the way Annie in Eternum does, for example), but she's a hell of a lot of fun.

I mean without incest, all the girls that are mothers in 2019 were with other guys, and even with the incest patch pretty sure that will be true, I'm not seeing just the patch is going to create scenes to prove you impregnate all the girls at the right time.
If a LI sleeps with other guy when the MC is out of the picture or even assumed dead is NTR then I don't know what the hell that word means, thought it means cheating and humiliation to the MC, and not seeing that here.

I wonder if Jestur has been tracking the choices made when giving the option to finish inside or outside. Seems like that could make the story much more complicated.

Seems like that could make the story much more complicated.

Only if pregnancy is going to happen at all--and it isn't in the tags in OP. If it is (or if it's possible), then sure, you'd have to have finished inside someone to get her pregnant. So maybe you don't give the choice for a particular scene with a particular LI. It could be much more complicated, but it doesn't have to be.

So let me run through the gallery, though still missing the last few:

• Krystal (first): choice
• Riley (first): choice
• Krystal (second): choice, inside sets a variable
• Daphne: choice
• Riley (helicopter): no choice, outside, then choice, inside sets a variable
• Skylar: choice, inside sets a variable
• ...
• Jenny: no choice, outside

"Sets a variable" means the multi-mod (linked in OP) indicates that this is the case. Looks like most of the scenes do give a choice, but only some of those track it.

Spoiler alert: All that time traveling rendered MC's sperm inert due to the radiation.

We already know that the girls from the past have children in the future, so pregnancy has definitely happened. The only scene that I can definitely recall as not having the finish option was with Jenny. I am not saying all others had the option, I am just saying the only one that really stood out in my memory was with Jenny.

The MC even comments about it if I remember correctly, like "don't want to come inside since I'm going back to 2019 and would be unfair"

Well, yes, they have at some point been pregnant; I assumed the question was about in-game (i.e., on-screen) pregnancy, and particularly pregnancy by MC (because if that isn't the question, it doesn't matter where he finishes). But I'd edited my post; yes, most of the scenes do seem to give a choice, but it doesn't seem there's a variable tracking that for all of those cases. I haven't re-viewed Scarlett's first scene, nor any of the party scenes, though.

 

[OnlyNeverNow]

Tbh, I think the story is just going to drop the entire "pregnancy" thread and never acknowledge who the fathers are. Like, MC is just not gonna think about it in the present day and the LIs are never going to talk about it and that's that.

It would be anticlimactic, but that's the only way I see that would avoid the inevitable "REE NTR" if there was actually any information given, while also kowtowing to Patreon's no incest rule.

Yeah probably. Too bad, I was enjoying the idea of fucking "our" daughters without knowing it while having the same age. It was a cool concept for an adult game

Thanks for taking the time to dig into it. I was just curious if it was tracked for some future update where things could "get complicated" for the MC.

...and the fact that it is, even some of the time, indicates that at least at one time this was the plan, even if the effect was/is nothing other than a dialogue change (e.g., Ashley in Harem Hotel: "You've cum inside me 17 times, why am I not pregnant?", and MC wondering why she kept track). And maybe that plan has changed--or maybe not.

Is this game actually based on our timeline? Are there any references to that?

In 1999 USB flash drives, if one actually existed, were at most prototype only, which I very much doubt you could connect to a 2019 OS and be straight forward to access. Early USB flash drives, even those actually mass produced from late 2000 on, required special drivers for each model. Available OSes like Windows 98 didn't include a USB mass storage driver.

That and the dreaded T-word (whose discussion was deleted) are major time inconsistencies, but which could be explained if this was a similar timeline but not exactly the same.

I mean it's a timeline where time-travel exists so that disqualify it at being ours
Maybe someone took a usb drive to the past and gave them the tech

The first thing you learn in time travel school is that you always buy your computers in the future.

'95 didn't. '98 DID. I got a camera around then which came with a shrunken HDD in a CF card. And it worked just fine on '98 with a USB adapter dingus. Still does work although I replaced the HDD with a 1GB CF long ago, and then stopped using the camera altogether bc my phone did the job better.

OK, I had '98 SE, and I MAY have DL'd a generic USB storage driver, but nothing specific to the camera or that CF drive.
It worked in Linux too. Even then.

can someone upload save file of completed chapter 6. I Lost my saves and dont want to start over.

We don't know that lol, there could be time travelling

I agree the setting here is totally animeish-hentaish though, which makes it look specially unrealistic. If time travel existed, it would require much more complex means than pushing a button, and it wouldn't be managed by high school people.

Was it maybe Windows 98 SE? Not the original 98, but the Second Edition which was released a year later.

Are you referring to the USB drives left behind by the MCs father? If so, those are from around '09 when the power plant accident occurred, not '99.
