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

[PickerLewd]

Thanks PL.

Curious what the poll results are and for what. Let's hope a friendly sub provides us with some details and the WT/Faction sheet.

Devlog post updated.

Nothing unusual, except that Pod 4 wins by a large margin, combined with the harem option.

Poll ends in 13 hours, so this is almost the final result.

Can't say I'm surprised...unlike Tess.

Why she shocked? Players on Dom Kane route after being pushed around (not like sub route) by every other female, when given chance of a Harem or buncha girls, Dom Kane route players will choose that, at least majority and it is reflecting in the polls. We want Dom Kane at the top or at least among the tops and actually have a say to dictate or do things unrestricted, without outer pressure or glazing someone.

 

[Piratefishes]

Oh btw Patrons, I am literally SHOCKED at the dom poll results right now. It's the first time I have ever been legitimately surprised at the results. Not that the Pod 4 ladies are doing well, but the gigantic margin.

Can you also give us the last sub results?

 

[The_Man_With_No_Name]

As usual, I'm only shocked that Tess is shocked. Any multi girl option will be popular.

Doesn't she own a business irl? Know your clientele and all that?

Ah, whatever.

Well, Tess was surprised that wpod4 outweighed the other options too much (as far as I can tell, harem didn't surprise her, well that's understandable, it doesn't surprise anyone, it's all natural, hehe).Perhaps one of the reasons for this outweighing of wpod4 is that although these 4 girls were given under Kane's leadership quite a while ago, we still haven't gotten enough screen time with them.

Yes, in 0.8.2 we were able to learn more about Kelly's character and personality, and have sex with her at the same time. Personally, I found her to be a pretty interesting girl and very useful to our goals, and I don't think I was alone in that. Plus, I think there are a large number of Dom players who like Amy...I'm not sure about sadistic bitch Chloe, but she probably has her own “fanbase” too. And most importantly, Dom content from wpod4's “main star” and coincidentally our potential T1 LI - Angelica is still woefully lacking...Yeah, I realize Angelica isn't in this poll, but everyone realizes she's still part of wpod4, so maybe that played a part in the results of this poll too.

So, Dom players quite rightly want to experience what it's like to run wpod4, interact with all these girls, help them grow, win and also benefit from them in the present and future, not just in words. So just talking to Angelica about what she thinks of the other wpod4 girls is completely and utterly insufficient. (imo)

Kitty's game show really feels like a side tangent thing. "Now you are high enough rank we will give you a pod to manage to test if you're leadership material." "Yeah I know we just got you set up to manage your pod with a house and staff and whatnot... but by the way, do you want to help out with a game show? "

Can you also give us the last sub results?

Is already done and I guess Tess is doing some non-canon renderings.

She said she would do something with the top 3, but recommended voting up to 5 out of 25 witches/candidates .

Spoiler: TOP 5 was:

Looks about right. Alessandra is the closest thing in this game to a more normal dom relationship.

It's fun seeing the 2 main S-sub gals we've seen so far getting into the top 3.

"Yeah I know we just got you set up to manage your pod with a house and staff and whatnot... but by the way, do you want to help out with a game show? "

Imo, the game show is just as important as wpod4 control. Yes, we are expected to not screw up wpod4 management and be able to make these girls into what the Board needs. However, as you may have noticed, Dom Kane's training in executive management, responsible decision making, prioritization, corporate testing, etc. has already begun.

It seems that even Juliette has stopped fooling around and is seriously ready to share her valuable experience and knowledge.I've already written about it before...I have a conviction that in 0.8.2 both Dominique and Juliette decided not to wait for the results of the game show and Kane's final evaluation and decided to combine the "pleasant with the useful" by starting to actively prepare him for the M-->>Z+ stage right here and now.

Plus, as far as I can tell, our management of wpod4 won't end at the finale of the show and we still have a lot of work to do. So I'd say both things are important, it's just that, as is often the case with branching games, there isn't “enough content for everyone” because it's spread evenly across all paths and you don't end up with too much for one chosen path/route. That's why I advocate big updates (at least 3000+ renders) so that "no one leaves without a gift", so to speak.

So I'd say both factors are important, it's just that, as is often the case with mega-variant and branching games, there isn't “enough content for everyone” because it's spread evenly across all paths and you don't end up with too much for one chosen path/route.

Yeah, I know the evaluation never stops and yes plot details will be thrown in regardless of what our "current task" is.

What I mean is the flow of events. Why state what our next assignment is, show off your new living arrangements, do a meet and greet with your staff, and the pod, and do your first pod assignment, only to interrupt it all to do the game show then go back to it afterwards? Why do the show in the middle? That's what I mean by side tangent.

I'm still not following you. You originally asked for 'updated' stats. Updated from what/where?

The only way you will see any stats (until it hits Steam) is by using URM, Steely's Mod or by inputting them directly into my own excel Save sheet (listed in the OP).

So, trying to figure out, I assume you were using Sancho's mod originally in Ch1-7 and then again in CH8 Part 1 yes? If so, if want to a clickable page to see stats (won't be all, no mod has ever shown all stats for all characters, not even Shancho's mod showed as many stats as my sheet does) then you will need Steely's Mod for Ch8 Part 2.

If this is not what you mean, then please try and explain what exactly you are looking for/wanting.

Thank you for your effort to understand. By "updated" I meant as choices as made.

I am on Chapter 4, no mods. I get it, it's a very complex game with many forks. I thought there might be some way to access/see stats at least for MC without using mods. Apparently not, which is fine, I mean you can pretty much figure out the "personality"/status from dialogue, but would be nice to see how attributes change numerically as I progress.

Right...gotya!

No, there is currently no way without mods or making a note yourself (main reason I made my sheet in the first first...especially if you have multiple saves going).

This is going to be implemented in the Steam release later this year(?) but as of now no. Easiest would be to use URM but if against that too then yeah you just need to guage it yourself unless you wish to use the pdf walkthrough as a referance while you play. (certainly highly recommended at some point as from Ch5 onwards, Tess herself does the WT so there are a lot of dev notes included which explain certain things and give future insights).

Wow, almost my personal top 5. I'd just replace Doc with Sam (she's still in top10), and shuffle the ladies' places. I guess that makes me pretty normie taste-wise.

From this list I only voted for Jules and Alessandra, the rest of my votes went to Kiyomi and Delilah .

The Dr. is OK but I don't want to be in K2, Olivia I still see as a "sister" and I never looked for anything else in the game and Angelica for me is just a redhead that is fine but I don't see her as anything outstanding especially when there are much better redheads in other games like Sage or Nami .

We always seem to get one new hottie each update. I wonder which hottie we get this update

More Astrid and Veronica content.

"Yeah I know we just got you set up to manage your pod with a house and staff and whatnot... but by the way, do you want to help out with a game show? "

Remind me of the time an interactive book which plays in a Victorianesque world where we are the firstborn of a Baron while serving as a military officer, inherited in the second chapter the Barony and in the third chapter we where allowed to finally manage our land.
The problem whas there whas also another path in which we go to the capital because the politcal situation is so unstable.
Well guess in which path where the continued romance option which we had all in the second chapter?
