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

[pitao]

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.

yeah the multi mod contains the I patch

Yep at least one of the versions of the multimod and I use that one also, the other after some requests is the original "vanilla" version, and yes the original one since that is what is released by the dev, what was original/canon 4 or 5 years ago or even 2 years ago don't really matter now and I'm not stuck in the past, pun intended, those versions had much less content and the patreon patrol against incest wasn't so hard. The story can be told both ways anyway and better Jestur comply by those rules (that I don't agree also but I don't have the power to decide otherwise) to keep their main source of revenue.

Before this update for what I remember it was only 1 version with the I patch included, at least when v0.7.0 was released, no idea if LightmanP added the vanilla one in between updates, guess so with some complaints I read before in the mod thread.

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

That's the part that bothers me as well after all of that so far only to have them immediately move on to someone else, it makes not wanting to get back together with them in the future.

What about the MC that moves form one girl to another? Does that make the MC not care for any of those girls? This kind of discussion is tiring as pitao said before me and better.

With one exception, they all get pregnant after about one year. I wouldn't call that immediately. Especially since the girls kept trying to get in touch with the MC, who never returned a call or text and only appears when he needs something (e.g. info about Gabby).

I also doubt any girl wanted to have children at 20 years old, while still in college or working at a low-paying job.

As for the one exception... Skylar is wonderful. And I also tell myself that since Luna still cares about her dad 20 years later, she didn't just hook up with anyone, but someone who was indeed good for her. She's the only one who can say that, since all the other women in 2019 lost contact with their daughter's fathers.

Yes but it's pretty wierd how almost every girl who interacted with the mc in 1999 got pregnant at almost the same time, i cant think of any theory but im sure it's not a coincidence, or maybe its just avn magic

They were so despondent that MC never returned to 1999 that they all went to the same rave/orgy and got knocked up.

That was hilarious because around that year I was going to plenty of psy trance raves here in Portugal (no orgies though unfortunately lmao maybe I was going to the wrong raves), for non sense doubts that was a pretty good "a la monty phyton" style nonsense joke.

Yes tiklin, this is still an AVN, put some "adult" aka "porn" logic in it.

You could say that about most of the topics that have been talked about in this thread as most of the comments are back and forth about the same topics, so there really is no reason not to discuss it if some people want to. If others don't then don't comment on it, simple.

The compressed version is here: https://f95zone.to/threads/ripples-v0-8-0-jestur.56110/post-17386799

In general, there is a user setting to display search results chronologically rather than this strange default order. If you use this, you just need to search for "compressed" and usually find the compressed version rather quickly, even in long threads.

I've been on this site for 7+ years and only figured out the "sort by date" about a month ago when I saw a kind post like yours that explained it. Up until then I always hated the people who would just post "JuSt Do A sEaRcH fOr It AnD yOu'Ll FiNd It". Like, yeah, search "compressed" on a thread with 900 pages without the "sort by date" turned on and see how well that goes for you. If you're going to take the time to post a comment at least make it a useful comment.

So, for anyone that doesn't know: click on your name in the top right, select "preferences", scroll down to "search options", and select "sort by date". Now when you do a search it will be automatically sorted by most recent first, and then finding the compressed version is usually within the first 5-10 posts.

Now if we could just teach devs how to just use good compression from the start life would be great. All those HTML games with 40MB GIF files that are 5 seconds long and would only be about 30k as a webm and look better too....

I wasn't talking about the discussion if the MC is the father of everyone or not, I was talking about you and others saying the girls moved on and don't care for the MC, that's why I asked if the MC didn't care for them since he can sleep with all of them.
Just sounded to me like the typical "everything is NTR whine", if I'm wrong my bad.

Well I was playing it from the view of a harem game and trying to get every girl, so that was why it didn't seem like the MC sleeping with all of them as a bad thing or him not caring about them. Whether or not it sounds like "everything is NTR whine" to you is irrelevant. If some players see it as that or are just upset about a love interest having a child with someone else and voice their opinion about it then why can't it be discussed by others who share the same view?

Yeah it is complicated, and yeah we don't have the whole story yet as it is time travel with many twists and turns and anything can happen, but it doesn't change the fact that at this point with what we have and the possiblity of a written love interest having a child with someone else can still rubs some players the wrong way. All I am saying is at least let it be discussed without automatically shutting it down.

SAVE FOR the new season plz ?

Fair enough, but don't think Ripples is supposed to be a Harem game, and with Patreon involved it seems even impossible to MC to be the father of all the girls so of course other male character will be on the picture but we will probably will never see none of them.

Well if it turns out to not have a harem ending I would be disappointed, as for patreon they just mess up everything these days. Maybe a patch could change that possibly.

As far as a patch, for the current version this appears to be your only option.
It's completely fan-made though, so if there was originally a particular i-plan, it's probably lost to time now ...

I meant in the future concerning the 2019 girls being the MC's daughters. That is if whoever made the patch would be able to accomplish that.

I would pity the 1999 girls for getting knocked up and abandoned. Especially Scarlett who had to raise twins on her own. Not to mention how hard it must be for children to grow up without a father... I wouldn't want to be that guy.

I understood the assignment. Right now, that mod is the only place that storyline can exist. Whether they go there or not is up to the modder. If someone else takes up a non-integrated iPatch, that would be a second place it could exist.

And, as I emphasized, even if that was Jestur's plan in the beginning, no one associated with him seems to be developing one, so it's unlikely a final "patched" version would be exactly the original idea.

Right now, other than rich-snob-girl, Skylar's the only one who seems to have a dad in their life, and you and Jessica are the only other ones that a father figure has been mentioned (as far as I remember), all of which leads to the theory in the first place.

Good point, it's not the best indeed especially how young they are. Though they could find another partner later on, for a step-father figure. But there is more and more children growing up without father (or seeing them one weekend every other week), you could say it's the bane of our modern society.

And I don't think the MC would have knocked them up on purpose, just unprotected sex.

However the "actual" fathers don't seem better, as as people mentioned one is in prison and the others are missing. Sure it could be explained for porn logic, but like everything really.
