VN Ren'Py Karlsson's Gambit [v0.8.2B Final] [Grym Gudinna Games]

[Stan5851]

I was simply really captivated by the plot of her masterpiece, and this is almost the end.

Honestly, it's not even close to the end. The game is ~65% (+/-) complete and there's more to come.

Does anyone know if this will be the last update for the game?

Well, I reasoned like this (in short):
If Tess follows the literary basis (plot, introduction, climax, denouement) according to my feelings we are somewhere in the middle of the climax - the beginning of the denouement, and there are 2-3 updates left. And if this update is the penultimate one, I will just think up the ending for myself (if anything).
Although the Fierce Goddess is undoubtedly more talented than those pida***r***assof who wrote the finale to Game of Thrones.
John Snow - MUDAK (stupid asshole)!!!

No...12/13 chapters planned...maybe...perhaps...depends on what content is in each release. It's felxible currently and no set amount is confirmed.

Here in America we are celebrating Thanksgiving Day. It's simply what it sounds like; a day to give thanks. So, I am thankful to Tess for creating this wonderful story and for all the entertaining hours it has provided for me both reading it and talking about it here with good friends. I am thankful for all the friends and acquaintances I have found here (even Maviarab). I wish everyone here good health and happiness. May God bless you all.

We can assume a lot of things, but the best thing to do is ask the dev about it. A year ago, according to her feelings, it was
like this.

So here I agree with Maviarab and what he wrote above. Anyway, in addition to the upcoming Ep8 pt2, we have Ep8 pt3 (the final installment of the game show) waiting for us, which Tess hasn't started working on yet. And basically, the “war of all against all” won't start until episode 9+ at the earliest. That is when the first heads of serious players like the Karlsson sisters will fly. (However, it depends on our decisions, and, as Tess writes, we can save the first possible victim among the sisters if we try very hard and make certain decisions).

So, using chess terminology, I'd say we're now in the first half of the Mittelspiel, which will last (I think) at least until the end of episode 10+, after which we will be waiting for a large and extensive Endspiel (Ep/Ch 11-12+), the result of which will be ~17 different endings of the game. But, again, it all depends on Tess and how much the creative process takes her over. For example, the new update (Ep8 pt2) was supposed to be smaller, but according to her, she again didn't hold back (lucky for us) and did more scenes than planned. So time will tell.

Also, no one should be guided by the episode number .

For example, Episode 8 is divided into three parts, and as a whole I think it's as long or longer than the first 7 episodes put together.

Mav giving a legit answer to a stupid question? He must have gotten some good coffee today

So in short… no one is sure, but it’ll be a long time before we see the end of it… LMAO

Definitely. Unless, of course, Tess hires new people to the team (some announcements about that, as you know, have been hanging on her Discord for a while now). But honestly, even if she does, I'm not sure it would speed up the process much. KG is Tess' brainchild, and I imagine it's a pretty intimate thing, in the sense that she'd never be willing to put the writing of dialogs (which is absolutely right) or the creation of scenes in someone else's hands..If that was Tess's main source of income, then yes, the frequency of updates would be 100% higher... she said so herself... But personally I prefer to keep everything in Tess' hands, it would be better for the game itself.

So yeah it’ll be awhile then, so who knows

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

considering that she's broken up part 3 into 2 parts, we're likely not going to even end this chapter before around this time next year.

If I'm not confused, Tess is looking for people who can professionally create animations in DAZ3D and work with light and shadow. So if such hypothetical employees are found and hired, it would certainly make a difference. I think it's more about possibly improving the quality of current in-game animations and more in-depth lighting for static renders. But if it somehow affects the speed of release of updates, I will be only glad.

This must be the aforomentioned shrinkage. Callista is certainly not going to be happy, maybe she will complain to elena.
I wonder if the shrinking will occur on all sub paths
