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

Does this game have harem? I remember that you can flirt with more then one girl but I can't remember if you can have a relationship with more than one.

Not exactly a harem, but you can definitely pursue multiple LIs with no negative consequence (at least so far). The only exception is very early in the story, where you have to choose between two of them. Jestur has said that this choice is not necessarily permanent, but I don't think the routes have converged yet.

There is a Hidden Harem counter so anything is posible

But the line of text you quoted is commented out. It appears to not have been implemented in the game yet. Until it is, we are still confused about the developer's intent in this matter.

No, Incorrect. EDIT: Well not entirely incorrect, it is being used in the scripts but yes i agree, we are still in the dark of what this counter is going to represent in the upcomming updates!

Just started the new update and found out my save is nearly a year ago... The full recap at the beginning is indeed useful

I answered this like 8 posts above yours: https://f95zone.to/threads/ripples-v0-8-0-jestur.56110/post-17492810

That commented out section is just from a small part of the script where Jestur explains what each Points variable is for.

Spoiler: Ripples Points Variables

All of these have been used in the actual scripts at this point. For example, in my playthrough I have 3 Harem and 4 poly points.

do we even know the difference between those two variables yet? Is poly like, limited to a number of girls while harem is all encompassing, or something along those lines?

Poly wants a cracker...

Not exactly. I think they're actually the same thing, but Jestur decided to change the name. Until halfway through Chapter 3, you get Harem points. After that you get Poly points instead.

Poly relationships actually make more sense than harem.

Do you know if Jestur added the Harem points to the Poly points? Hopefully, we don't just lose them.

Since it's not being used yet, I'm thinking is in the backlog of work to do.

Technically, a harem could be considered a form of poly.

But as for the other question, it doesn't look like they've been added together yet. But they haven't been used in any checks either, so might be something planned for later.

Just finished this new update, and i can say:

Caribdis and Jestur can quietly high-five each other.

They haven't realized only VN, no...

They've realized TWO GODDAMN MASTERPIECES, DAMMIT!!!!!!

Months waiting for the update and for what? So that he comes to give us filler nothing more... An unnecessary party that does not contribute anything to the plot. It just shows that the dev is running out of ideas and did anything to launch its "update"

Where are you talking about Running out of ideas? This is a game, games are supposed to be fun, I don’t know what to tell you dude

 

[Elhemeer]

Not to mention that the whole party was there to drop hints and clues for familial relationships and then drop a big giant plot bomb at the end.

Also, it was a fun party with lots of character interactions, which this whole game has been about from the beginning.

Every update has had one or two key moments, surrounded by lots of character development. Some of those key moments took longer than others, especially in the first 1999 segment, but none have been dominated by the moments over the character development.

So if you finished this last update and thought "The dev suddenly doesn't know what he's doing, this was all filler" why are you still playing? You should have dropped out long ago.

Based on the idea that this chapter was "all filler" then the Skylar date was pretty much all filler -- both of them actually. Watching TV with Tiffany was filler. Helping Jessica with her camera was filler. Speaking of camera's, the photo shoot at the boutique was definitely filler. Working on the class project with Alyssa was filler. The time at the lake with Scarlett was filler. Practicing lewds with Darci is filler. Exercising with Valerie and Tiffany is filler. Also the challenge in the jewelry shop is filler. Spending time with Krystal is filler ... pretty much all of it except the stuff pertaining to the blackmail, so ice cream date is filler. Most time spent with Jenny is filler -- playing on the computer, in the arcade, messing around on the car. Pretty much the only parts of her story not filler would be the times trying to convince her to not work at the plant -- although how you would accomplish that without building a relationship first is beyond my writing skills.

And that's why the whole "filler" argument is so stupid. NOTHING in this story works without the MC developing relationships with all these people. And the party was the latest part of that. If the party doesn't happen, Luna doesn't get so scared of the MC that 20 years later she drops the "ANYONE BUT HIM" bomb on Skyler, completely changing her story going forward. ... an event that has been set up since we first met her.

So yea, all you "filler episode" people are clearly playing the wrong AVN for your tastes. I suggest trying something else.
