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

[MrBenny]

Hi...I'm doing a replay and I was wondering about the choice with Riley (the crazy chick with the banana). Does anyone know in advance if choosing the "lie about helping her" choice would be better...or is the "agree to help her" a much better choice to make?

I don't remember much about this title, as it's been sometime since I last played it. And I kind of feel she is going to screw MC over much later in the story, so the lie could leave an opening to prevent her from screwing over MC. Or am I wrong?



Regards

The run that HoneySelect games have been on is nothing short of legendary.

Ripples deserve it's place amongst the HS pantheon. Solid all-around VN.

This AVN is in my top 3 easy, but I am disappointed with this update. Could have done without the party or at least a shorter version of it. By the time it got to the "helicopter" scene, I was done. I found myself fast-fowarding through most of it and i have never felt the need to do that before. Anyway, still plenty of goodness and I didn't hate the update, just sad I have to wait another year for more Ripples.

Same here. I play with two saves to try to cover most of the content (mostly for Skylar/Jessica but not only that) and in one of them I managed to get zero scenes, which was a drag to play. Story wise, we didn't get much further so this episode felt like a filler. Scarlet was super hot and that's the only great part of the update for me. I feel like when you've 20+ girls you can interact with like in this game, excessive branches with locked content are more a minus than a plus.

Imho,it's quite often just fake nostalgia,classic grass was greener,more clouds and everything.You could ask your mom,grandma and everyone else and they would always say how things were better in the past

All the time ages have their pros and cons,but,imho,we are living in one of best ones.The age of ai,advanced medicine,internet

There Is no AI only VI, and it's NOT a good thing.
You actually got better care in the average hospital , and had better chance of recovering, in '99 than you do now. At least in the 3 places I know, US, UK and Sweden. For almost ALL malaises.
Internet is great. But I had 100MBps fiber in '99-02 (I moved and it was not available until '02 where i moved)... Now I can get 500Mbps where I live now, and all file sizes are more than 20 times bigger. So a downgrade in speed, adjusted for usage. And average bandwidth in connection has NOT kept up with filesizes etc.

Average LIVING standards have dropped, and you now need 2 people's salary to pay for what one person could afford in '99. Again, US, UK and Sweden as base for assumptions.

So no, NOT fake nostalgia. 1995-2010 was really the golden age, if the comparison stops today.

The average 20-yearold had it MUCH better then than the average 20-year old today.

By itself, it was a great update. I'm a big fan of this title and the dev.

It had the usual high quality renders, hot girls and the sex scenes were all amazing, the problem is this was essentially a filler episode and even then it wouldn't be that much of a problem if this wasn't a 1 update a year kind of VN.

I enjoyed the content but considering everything wouldn't it have been best to not have the party or have it be a short version (even though it wouldn't be as good) and move on with the story in present time?

This update should have focused more on the now former mother and sister (rip incest - fuck patreon) it's version 0.8 and still only bread crumbs for those much beloved main LIs, actually this has made me worried it will have a rushed ending or the dev will still be cooking this in 10+ years.

Absolutely. As a man that graduated HS in '84, I can totally confirm this. (I was out of reactions, and felt strongly enough not to leave this go by without agreement).

One of my favorites is a certain cosy harem game. I love it. I can't afford to stay subbed to the patreon, but I always 'buy' every update to show my support where I can. They largely did the same thing this latest update to one degree or another. Focused on a character no one particularly cares about, stealing time from the main plot and the girls they've been establishing since day one. And because she's isolated from the others, there's not even any interaction.

On the one hand, I wouldn't mind if it was a completed game. Content is content. But with releases on a lot of these big AVNs now taking 1+ years I can't help but look at deviations and side girls as a drag, knowing that every frame the author has dedicated to them is a frame I lose with the characters I actually care about.

As someone who had never used the skip button in this particular game I found myself skipping through the drawn out scenes with the newish girl, frustrated.

I still love the game, and will anticipate every release, but I'm starting to feel these long release cycles a lot more than I used to.

Totally agree. I have said it before that too many LIs is a bad thing. At first it's fun, but if the AVN continues, then you run into issues where some updates do not have your favorites. Harems are bad enough for me, but 3-4 girls would be fine. You could move the story forward as well as get some quality time with each LI. Chloe is one of my favorites and I don't remember the last time she had a scene with the MC.

So what? I have to wait another year for maybe another scene with her? IDK... it's gotten a bit unwieldy.

None before like 84.

That's why you gotta take all the girls, that way there's always content for you.

Lol... Hard to argue with that "logic".

 

[Maccabbee]

Lol... Hard to argue with that "logic".

In some games I really only like some or even one of the LIs. This is one of the games where I like some more than others, but they almost all evoke attraction at the least from me. Most of them I really grow to care about. It's a special game that way.

 

[SlavicBrah]

I really wonder and hope that we will be able to save the aunt

 

[al.shm]

Is incest patch will updated later?

 

[rjmpcr]

I'm all in for continuity and maybe multiverse alignment .But this is too good or maybe some story in future. idk i just started yesterday. Loving it so far. Also the second image is basically 3 frames in 3 seconds so you might miss it




Edit: NVM just next one is full on image.

Is there any way to unlock all gallery??

I disagree, if you feel overwhelmed by choices in a harem game, you're likely not looking for a harem game but a route focused game. The main issue is a lot of games are unfocused in that they push for both as in wanting to be both a harem game and a single route focused game depending on choices.

A harem game is only uninteresting to me if most of the heroines are uninteresting which is not the case for Ripples: there's probably only 2 or 3 characters that I do not care about in this game so for me getting content with most heroines is a plus .

Is there any way to unlock all gallery??

A universal gallery unlock should work but you can also wait for the multi mod to be available in 36 hours for free (or less, not sure when it was posted on patreon) because the modder LightmanP puts it behind a paywall for 36 hours and then will appear here for free (check the OP link), and that multimod has a gallery unlock feature.

Is incest patch will updated later?

Well, unfortunately the incest patch hasn't been updated since 0.6. Now it is part of the multi-mod which is done but has a 36 hr hold on it. So the incest patch now has a hold on it as well as a result.

Not interested in the argument going on over in the multi-mod thread over the 36 hr hold, but I do wish the incest patch was separate regardless.

You will see references like this in a bunch of the other honey select games too (some even in daz games referencing the honey select games but also other daz games)


Most of these are easter eggs, I don't think we'll ever have an AVN Cinematic Universe lol

That being said NiiChan is making basically his own mini shared universe with all his games lol, 2 of which he's developing concurrently (Sicae and My Bully Is My Lover) and one in the future
I heavily doubt devs like Jestur and Caribdis would collaborate in a project like that though, way too much logistics, continuity management, and potential creative vision clash, not to mention how much work and time it would take to develop.


Would be fucking sick though one can dream.

any milf sex scenes at this update?
