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

[elbo911]

I see the red head girl all over F95 . It seems she is a fan favourite . Btw is the incest between the two sisters ?

You've already kinda been introduced to her here. Learn her name!



If you play with the incest patch (for the time being only available via the WTmod that includes it) Tiffany will be MC's mom.

Thanks a lot . You are the Goat . This helped me a lot . Also i did not understand what you meant by patreon and incest mod . Please elaborate

Patreon is a platform where developers of free games can build a community of players who pay them a small amount of money every month to finance the development. It's the most popular platform of this type and therefore the most lucrative. It's essential for games such as Ripples being as good as they are, and continuing to exist.

Since Patreon is so popular, it has attracted the attention of religious extremists who exert pressure (e.g. via credit card companies) to get porn off such platforms. That hasn't worked so far. But what they have achieved is that Patreon throws out every game that has incest in the widest sense, or an official patch that adds incest (to close the workaround that some Steam games use for restrictive countries).

This seems to be a problem for Ripples, which I think was started before Patreon got these anti-incest rules. At the time, since (for reasons I don't really understand) incest is so popular in these games, it made financial sense to include it in your game. And it appears that the original plan was for the main character to discover at some point that one or more of the girls he had sex with in the 'present' was actually his daughter, as a result of having had sex with her mother while time traveling to the 'past'. This plan, if it existed as many of us believe, had to be revised and the plot change accordingly. This may make this set-up turn out to be frustrated foreshadowing, i.e. foreshadowing (an implicit promise of future events) that is ultimately not satisfied, leaving a bad taste for the reader. But perhaps we are wrong, or perhaps the author finds a different way to satisfy the foreshadowing. Such as by the main character's temporary belief that he had committed unwitting incest with his daughter(s), before finding out the father is someone else.

I played the update yesterday and HOLY MOLY! This was a great update. Although focused on just one thing, it was really well done.

Props to the dev for arraying a bunch of super sexy girls in one place and even adding a male invitee to make things a bit more believable.
Funny thing is that I'm not in Scarlett and Valerie paths but still got the threesome scene. Scarlett has a really fun personality and I'm thinking about replaying the game to add her to the harem.
Riley saving us in the end was awesome, although how did she know he would be there? That left me scratching my head...

She mentions something along the lines of "They usually give me orders at the very last minute." In this case I'm guessing she's talking about the masked man and whoever else is running the show on that side of the conflict. They knew MC would be in trouble and sent her to bail him out.

They clearly know a lot about what happens, sometimes even before it does like when April warns you that is Tiffany about to be attacked just in time to save her.

It wouldn't make sense if it were orders from the other side, since that's who Riley just saved us from.

I can't think of anyone else it could be. If there's some 3rd faction I haven't caught any hints of it yet.

Well all we can do is speculate as to what will happen next time. For now at least we can replay the game over and over again and come up with new theories and such!

Operating under the hypothesis that masked man is future MC, it's likely that he couldn't remember exactly how long the various threesomes he participated in lasted so didn't know when to tell her to show up and save his bacon.

I would like to add, do we actually know what faction Cindy is with? Because we know her husband is probably cheating on her and she knows, it kinda makes me think that she is independent of the "main" powerplant group

Actually in that confrontation after the party with Cindy she makes it pretty clear she was solidly with the faction operating out of the power plant. The MC confronts her about it and she sends the guards away so they can't hear what she says after, then laughs about it, saying that she knew about the kidnappings and what they did to the girls they abducted. She was neck deep in their shit.

Plus the first time we encounter her it's to steal important documents, probably related to their time travel experiments, from her office. I don't think she'd have those if she wasn't in deep with those people.

I think we were previously speculating that Riley was one of the time travelers working for the masked man et al based on the banana Darci and MC found at the lab, anyway.

ETA: think I fixed my spoilers to make them inline

Most likely scenario the MC himself told her when and were to save him, it's time travel after all.

The main milf has no sex scenes until this eighth update, and for the last two updates she hasn't received any scenes at all. In my opinion, this is disrespectful and mocking.

Just go and jerk off to some other milf while you wait for Tiffany. I'm interested in seeing an adult Scarlet full sex scene (she's hot in 1999, but even more as a mom), but I'm not going to say Jestur is disrespecting and mocking me just because he isn't giving me what I want to see (I'm not even one of his patreons). It's his work after all.

I'm only today gonna start actually playing the game for the very first time, and even still that statement is already making me frown. How dare you?

(Sorry, I find that whole waifu wars thing stupid as hell and am only joking. Still already smitten with Scarlett without even having played the game at all yet. :> )

Well, I was trying to avoid the 1999 girls since I'd get quite sick if MC ended up being the father of their children in 2019.
However, now it has finally dawned on me that Jestur isn't stupid and won't put incest in this game - since he likes Patreon moneis. Therefore, I feel more prone to taste dem soon-to-be-mommies

Also, if you're gonna start play this game now... wouldn't it better to *not* check spoilers?

As I said, it was a joke really, no need to justify or explain anything with me. Everyone should do and enjoy as they like.

Probably true, but that ship has sailed long ago. This game has kindled my interest ages ago, still preferred to play a few already completed games first. And at several points when I pondered finally tackling Ripples there seemed another update just around the corner, so I waited and got caught up in other stuff in the meantime. Still hesitant about playing an unfinished game of this obvious quality, but pitao kinda made me. :>
Also, still didn't spoil myself all that much really, as I usually lack a lot of context of the story and scenes discussed and therefore quickly forget about most of it again. Basically all I really know about this game is there is time travel.

Scarlett: "Alyssa, you and MC are getting close but you need to know how to really please a man if you want to keep him. MC, you must be pretty tired by now so just keep lying there and I'll show her how to do it one more time."

Thanks for the explaination , I have seen games with incest and other wierd stuff , create a side patch that can only be downloaded through maybe discord or through some other link . And the official patch doesnt have incest ( at least text wise ) . The author can do the reveal in side patch as " Wow this was my ( family member ) while in official patch on patreon could be " I guess she isnt my ( family member)" . For example you can check out Friends in Need , that is a fucked up game but this workaround works as legally the official patch doesnt break the rules

I am in the first bit and I am liking the writing of the game so far . So according to you , there is no Milf action in the game till the last update?
