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

[Simpgor]

1. You're saying it was necessary to lie to Tiff because she's the landlady/guardian, but it was unmercenary for Skylar to lie to MC because their peers/romantic partners?
Sorry, what explanation are you asking about?

2. I do the same thing. Sometimes in threads where devs are active and I see a lot of posturing on some criticism that I mildly disagree with, I make sure to speak up that I thought everything was "fine", so the dev doesn't think "oh geez, everyone hates what I did. I need to redo this whole thing!" I don't do it to disagree as much as to just speak up. I doubt Jes is that easily swayed, but it doesn't hurt to speak up.

3. We don't know she went to the past. Maybe she went to the future where microscale transporter technology has turned tattooing into a 30-second process that materializes the inks into the dermis in a completed design with no wounds to heal. Hmm?? Did you think about that!?

1. Yeah either as landlady (which could kick you out) or as mommy they shouldn't have the same power dynamics as two people freshly into a relationship that are more or less the same age and status, in fact if they are the exact same then there is no reason for Tiff to be such a (satisfying) slow burn

2. I guess I understand that but I feel I have been pretty civil and that in specific seemed like a weird/unnecessary tag

3. HA YOU FOOL

Skyler is really the only character I care about anymore in this game, and if it ends up that she is part of some evil scheme with the past I'm going to be so freaking disappointed. This update was way too good for her to just be a nice romance option and I will hate this game if they go in that direction.

Same only characters I have a interest in as far as LI go is Skylar and Alyssa other are just for fun or content for me

This update was amazing, I really enjoyed playing through the entire story again. This was probably my favorite update of the AVN's ive been waiting for updates from lately. I know we have a long time before the next episode, but I already can't wait.

Is there a particular folder I can delete to keep all the mod benefits but get rid of the incest patch?

 

[Iceviking]

What benefit does mentioning that bring? Someone goes through the incredible amount of work to make a game, and provide it for you to play here, for free. What do you do? You comment on that game's release that you don't like Honey Select and that you're fed up by it. So what? Make your own damn game. Not everyone has a PC that can reasonably render with DAZ, or the art skills to make hand-drawn assets, but Honey Select is a great avenue for creators that have ideas and a story to tell. Your post had no other purpose than to complain, it provides nothing, it contributes nothing, it changes nothing. Except of course. To show how entitled you are.

Imagine you spent a long time, and put a lot of effort into crafting wooden... idk... whistles, to take to the craft fair to give away for free, and someone came up to your booth and said, "Well, another whistle. Bit fed up at present. Just too many." And walked away.

That's what you sound like.

Take your entitlement to a general discussion thread if you want, this isn't the place.

Edits: Spelling, replaced "complaint" with "entitlement"

Thank you for this input!
I could not have said it any better.

Does anyone know if the unofficial incest patch can work with the Mac version? If so, which folder to I copy the file into?

 

[hatman420]

a) man this game rules
b) I'm really looking forward to the ending scene where it's just a ripoff of empire strikes back and the MC is all "no... I am your father" and like every chick from 2020 is all "no....no! thats not true! thats impossible!"
c) i did think it was a bit dim of the mc to not make any probing questions about whether skylar had been to the past, it seemed genuinely odd that he wouldnt make the connection, but I guess theres not enough blood in his body for both a working brain and that dick (but thats just the way jestur wants the story to go)

I don't think so. It's my belief that the walkthrough patch is built from the Taboo patch, and the taboo patch is edits of all of Jestur's scripts to change some dialogue between and about Tiffany and Jessica, but you should really mention LightmanP in your question to get a definitive answer from the source.

If you didnt repeat the darci sliding scene you hate fun

 

[connor1518]

I'm not a big anime fan but there are a select few I like. I noticed a poster in Alyssa's bedroom for Is It Wrong To Try To Pick up Girls In a Dungeon that by coincidence I just recently watched so I never noticed it before. It's a surprisingly entertaining show that has been renewed for season 5. Anyone looking for a good one to watch I'd recommend it though it's very light on the ecchi.

 

[DangDing]

I think Skylar's time travel to past is much shorter than MC, probably only 1 or 2 weeks past. She probably even saw herself talking to him and figured out she was in the past. In order to avoid time paradox (meeting herself), she just went out of town and had a nice long vacation until she was positive that she couldn't meet herself. So, now she just returns and continues on the present timeline, but in reality she's actually a week or two older.

anyone would mind sharing their savefile? one that is at the start of 0.6 and ofcrs harem route

"Tiffany should be never rush to smash".. It's been years man. I know in game it is days but for us players it's been years. And we know dev releases his updates not that faster. That's the reason I haven't started this game yet as I'm much into milf kink. For every update I check.. And come back again, to just check whether we got any lewd action at least like a bj.

I understand where you are coming from, but this is not one of those AVNs that serves Mom on a platter within 2-3 releases.

For those with a MILF kink - there are Many AVNs on F95 to satisfy that kink.

Am I looking forward to the time when the MC and Tiffany become intimate (because that is actually how I see their relationship evolving)?

Yes - but I don't want this to be a one-time thing where the weeks that follow are filled with regret and the relationship is on life support.

The two women the MC is closest to, Tiffany and Jessica, are also the two that have to overcome the biggest hurdles to not just accept, but embrace, the evolution of their relationships into one where they see the MC as the Man they want to be with. There is both an emotional and a physical component to their relationship with the MC.

Spoiler: Tiffany is still trying to sort out her feelings:

I Really like this kind of introspection because we get to see some of the internal struggle that takes place outside of the MC's immediate awareness.

Tiffany's introspection here reflects the continued growth of her desire for intimacy with the MC. They have been getting closer and doing things that are more common to couples and the discussion with Valerie later will elaborate on this a bit.

This also allows us to have what I call 'Tiffany Time' - time shared with Tiffany that builds on the relationship but that does not dominate each release to the detriment of advancing the story and other relationships.

I have Zero interest in any AVN trying to recreate Pornhub stepmom fantasies with RL actors/actresses.

Part of what makes Ripples a great AVN is, IMO, the story within which these relationships grow.

Jestur has created an interesting world, populated it with beautiful women, and given us the drama of time travel and modern-day villains, all while allowing us to choose which women we want to build relationships with.

Is it hard to wait for the next release? - Hell Yes!!

But that is also the sign of a great creation!

Cheers!!

Nice update, although it felt like a setup one. Some great shots in Skylar's scenes and Riley's was funny. Will be nice to see the next main story progress. The number of LIs is kinda worrying, Dani and possibly Lizzy were added in this one. Hard to see them all getting proper attention without the game taking crazy amounts of time.

Gotta say, Faraday cage mention while in front of a glass wall took me out of it A more reasonable explanation could be a signal jammer or Riley hacking/accessing nearby mobile towers.

Lizzie Is an underrated side girl, love her

I just don't understand why the necklace I picked up in the past made Krystal a hotdog fucker.

I think Skylar's time travel to past is much shorter than MC, probably only 1 or 2 weeks past.

The only issue with that is how/why she would have gone just a week or so in the past but then "ONLY" go and hide? It doesn't really make sense that she could "accidentally" go through time (like MC did the first time), and if she was "sent" there by coughing person/the bad guys/whomever why was she told just lay low (but not so low she couldn't tattoos done)?

Personally I think its hard to believe that she did all the steps necessary to accidentally travel, maybe she went into the abandoned facility to calm down but step after that would be pretty suspect (unless you happen to be looking for family death related secrets like MC). However the idea that she was sent with a purpose only to be left for a week or two or even a few days just rasies the possibility of getting caught.

The following "assumes" quite a bit about Ripples world based on "common sense"/"it helps a player connect with the world". What do we know about tattoos in the world of Ripples? We know that they are "common" enough that a student is able to have them fully shown at school and she not only does not receive grieve from the teachers but none of the other students(or more importantly MC) treat it as if it's some freak or unusual thing it's just "Lizze and she has sleeves". However even with every characters acceptance of the idea of someone getting tattoos a majority of them don't have large tattoos like the ones Skylar got this update which logically is because the students don't have
1. Time
2. Money
3. Pain tolerance
4. Religious/other reasons.

Skylar (pre ghosting you) is not stopped by reason 3 or 4 because her having the butterfly previously shows that she is able and open to the ideas of tattoos. Pre ghosting Skylar might have had issues with time especially if she wanted two full sleeves done and 2 side pieces you are still looking at a single artist working over multiple days (the only way around this is to "automate the tattoos" but that prevents the idea she went to the past altogether). However the main issue is cost; we know Skylar/her mom is "less financially stable" than MC and his family evident by MC repeatedly saying he should help her out financially.

For everything to work she needs to be sent to the past by someone (she couldn't have stumbled upon time travel/sent us the weird texts AFTER SHE GHOSTED US neaning her sending them couldn't have been the thing that started her accident travel because then she would have not had enough time to get all those tattoos (because she would have only been in the past for the time she was "missing"), then she did whatever "mission" she was sent to the past to do only to be left to her own devices.....

We know she had a choice in getting the tattoos because she has absolutely no shame about them which would only be the case if she wanted to get them. If she didn't want the tattoos she would have tried to hide them (like a scar or brand).

while everyone is speculating about Skylar being thrown to a different timeline...
im here sitting and thinking about Riley mentioning the principle did something to a girl while beating him up with a bat and mentioned it happened a week ago... about the same time Skylar went missing...
kidnapped? abused? brainwashed to work for the bad guys trying to control time?
non of those give me reassuring thoughts about being with her...
PS: the sex scenes were hot though...
