This last update:
OMG. i have waited so so long and it was worth it. Now im gonna go back and start with the beginning and play fully till 9 but J my dude, you made this update worth the wait! Soundtrack is awesome and loved the storyline's flow. Cant wait to see what you do for 10!!!
okay so, why is the music giving me chills
How to download the episode 9? Can someone help me
Just click on one of the purple 'download' buttons above and follow the instructions from there. Naturally for your device of choice. If you want to know the difference between Mega/Mediafire/Gofile: it's just personal but for large downloads as this I don't choose Mega anymore cause it wants you to make an account an download a Mega-file first. Mediafire is slow, but in my opinion reliable. Gofile don't really know the pro's and con's.
Super thanks for the recap btw. - forgot about a ton of things that happened in the prior episodes
FYI Mega wants to install it's spyware before it'll let you download, claiming whatever browser you use doesn't have enough buffer to get the job done. It refuses to allow download unless you comply.
Starting out, Sky was my obvious favorite. But after playing through all of 7. It’s now Scarlett. What she said to MC about him having “deep dark eyes, and eyelashes a girl would kill for” is something a girl had said to me once upon a time.. It made me feel feelings I hadn’t had in many years. Fantastic story, great characters. But I can’t bring myself to play further than 7. I don’t want it to end 🥹
I had doubt on the "Dark" inspiration ...
The new chapter give me the answer !! Ahahahaha
Very good work btw !!
Sweeeet - especially since I just got ripped out of Stormside which is unfinished and on hold.... forever
Waiting on updates on visual novels can be a real punch in the dick once you get hooked - at least you provide - can't wait to see what E9 has in stock :)
A question regarding the walkthrough,in the next update,are you able to make it built in to the VN?
If you google around, you can find one that already exists
Can't open any mega.nz links!
I cant download with zip file does anyone have apk?
New Ripples update!!!??
Tabbing out on android hard locks the game. Can't use the walkthrough without needing to restart the game every time I need to check it.
i forgot if it was mentioned before, but is it known how many episodes there are gonna be?
Thanks for the update + your continued hard work! 🫡 🎉
I'll update tomorrow hehe good night and thank you dev❤👍
Let's go
Finally episode 9 out..
When will it be updated at itch？
There is no time mentioned, only that its dropping 26th April for public so today!!
Now
Here I sit waiting for the itch update to drop before realising I got my days confused... This makes me a sad panda.
I wonder which Time Zone is the release time? Eastern USA & Canada? Or later?
does the game have chinese?
The .9 Version, which will be released on April 26 for the public, added support for Chinese Translation.
I'm still making my way through Ep3 but Skylar is HANDS DOWN the best
if given the choice im staying in 1999
Oh yeah and meet up with Jenny, Tiffany, Scarlett, Khloe and some other girls!!
You ever seen a movie called the Butterfly Effect? Just wondering. You keep messing around with Scarlett and the twins never exist because she's too in love with you to notice him. So you fooled around with a sweet young girl and then deleted her lol
Yes I have seen it but not in a long time- really good movie btw!!
Also NEVER deleting Scarlett she is too precious
Well, you know you can't trust the MC. He just wanders into places he shouldn't be with no story prepared and hopes for the best (though it usually ends in BJs). I kid, but when he went back to the burger joint a 2nd time after he was so worried about L--a's precognition I was yelling at my monitor "there are other places to eat, man! Either figure out your lies or lay low!" Also, not deleting Scarlett, but her daughters, by raising her standards above her baby daddy.
ive been waiting for full and plan to buy it (on steam hopefully) cause this game was great back when i played 0.4 but can you confirm that it wont have incest or if it will, that we can turn it off?
AFAIK the MC isn't related to anybody in the story, so how could there be? Also, pretty sure there's a choice before every scene to continue or stop/avoid it, so just...say no?
yeah i just heard some people talk about the time travel thing and some of the characters being his kids. and thats a hard nope from me.
I think the only one this might be possible with would be Skylar. IIRC, MC is 18, so born 2001. Most of the characters are the same age. The only ones who are older are Jessica, who Tiffany is already pregnant with, and Skylar. I don't think it is ever mentioned if she is younger than Jessica, though since Luna isn't pregnant (as far as we know) in 1999 she must be a bit younger than Jessica, so there is a chance MC is her dad from 1999 maybe.
I've waited a long time before downloading ep 8 because i wanted to cut it close to the release of ep 9, while trying to catch up on other AVN. Man did the wait paid off. As much as this ep doesn't end on such an explicit cliffhanger as the others, I felt like this one was strangely more cliffhang-y, as we were given absolutely no information on how the story will continue to unfold now that the cat's out of the bag. No hint at the next step, no sneak peak, no tension; just the lingering question: Now what?
Ep 8 has been a fantastic glimpse into young adult's lives in the 90's that, no matter if you got to experience it firsthand or no, you could really relate to. It was a very well designed setup to bring almost every major characters of 1999 in the same place, and not unlike one we could've expected to see with all of 2019's characters. We could easily see how both the 1999 and 2019 corresponding characters matched in personality and appearance, making it believable for the MC to get lost in this situation and end up getting intimate with everybody, rather than it just being another reason to extend his harem. This was hinted more than a few times like calling Khloe Krystal, or comparing Luna to Skylar, and Misty to Dani (that scene was so funny, I'm glad I "save scummed" my way into trying all events during the party), and with other less obvious hints on Vanessa, Tori, and Mark, that I hope Ep 9 will confirm.
This AVN keeps getting better, and will forever hold a place amongst the best written ones for sure with plenty heartfelt moments (I may have been more emotional than I expected during that talk in the woods with Jenny), packed with humour and crazy situations (please do select "metal song" at the party), and an intrigue that although very sci-fi, has a way of being "believable" nonetheless to keep us engaged.
I don't want to be the kind of person that says perfection can't be achieved, Ripples is truly, in my books, a 10/10 AVN.
I think .9 is the end of "Act 1." Most stories have 3 Acts: Act 1, Act 2, Climax somewhere in the middle / towards the end of Act 3, which then turns into the conclusion of the story. So it doesn't surprise me that .9 seems to be this way.
Imagine being on a android tablet. Download the compressed version. The dev Zipped it to save 0.00006 % space but i, as a user, need double+ amount of storage to even handle the apk. Sigh. Still in love with Darcy and Skylar though.
Good news guys on April 26th of this year we will be getting Ripples public release
LETS GO!!!
Yaaaaaaaaaaa lets go cant wait
wasn't there/ isn't there a mod for this game? I remember there being one
Best visual novel of all times!
Eternum
Good news guys ep 9 is now in beta testing so give or take a couple weeks and then we should have news soon!!
hell ya lets goo
Hello
Hi,
there seems to be a typo in a variable name - it checks for "necklackSc" instead of "necklaceSc", which is not defined. manually adding that boolean makes the correct text appear about having given Scarlett the necklace, fails otherwise. HTH, in ep7 I think, when going back with Darci.
is this game still reciving updates
Yes we should be getting a update either late March or April for sure. More will come just be patient ^_^
Hoping it comes out before the 8th because that is my birthday. That would be a pretty good birthday present ngl
ty
Can i please get an appeal for the discord ban?
What's your username and why did you get ban? Did you get banned by the bot?
My username is _amgamer696896 . I think i got banned by the bot, i don't really know by whom, i was just out of the server. As to why well because I was in a server that allowed a bot to send messages on my behalf without knowing that it does that, it was a sus server, ofc i left it and disabled all the authorized apps on discord and reset the password and got rid of it. It just sent a link to the server.
Okay, you should be able to get back in.
Thanks!
Dialog font size is way too small on my Android tablet, especially the bottom menu, is there a way to increase this, can't find anything in settings
edit
Do each of the episode downloads include the previous chapters or do they each have to be downloaded separately?
All previous chapters will be included. But I would wait until episode 9 to download the whole game
one of the only games where i actually read the whole story :)
