I totally agree. Eternum & B.A.D. are two of my favorites and now Ripples is right up there with them. Anxious for more.
FYI, another one that you may like is "Now & Then, A Tale of the End". Animatiation isn't on the same level as the ones previously mentioned but makes it up with a very good story.
I am on Episode 4 as of writing this comment but this game is really great! The story is fascinating and it really gets you curious about what happens next like any good animes. The girls too are amazing and the graphics are really good. I hope you continue making more updates on this game cause I really like it a lot!!
from what i can tell not having downloaded it yet.... for windows and mac there is only the remastered version option so its the whole thing with the first ep remade/remastered otherwise this comment section would have a ton of angry posts about the dev and his game
Sorry, but is there a slight chance, that you have a problem with a mc that is not the selfish, dominating, ultra-macho? This VN actually tells a story with characters that do have a background and a personality. Calling the MC a loser, because he actually considers the wellbeing of others, says a lot about you - and not to your favor...
Is there a chance, that you have a totally different cultural background? Like Arabic or Afrikan? 'Cause to a Mideuropean, his way of interacting with all the girls looks considerate and playfull, especially the way of talking to eachother? I spend quite some time in the Middle-East and Africa, so I know that this kind of interaction indeed does look strange for named males!?
East Asia? Where from? That actually explains a lot, because in east asian cultures, male domination is still looked at as a god-given fact, whereas for the "western" cultures, men and women are deemed equal in mostly all respects - including the right, to talk to a friend in what seems a rather respectless manner. But actually that normally is a sign of trust and friendship! Talk like that to someone you're not close with and the answer might hurt, literally! So, what looks strange to you, might be absolutely ok in other parts of the World. Have you ever been outside your cultural hemisphere? If not, you should may be be a little more considerate, before judging other cultures, ok?
Ok, just finished Episode 4 and I must say the Story is intriguing, setting aside the sexuality of it, it's still a good read whichever path you take. I really look forward to seeing how the story plays out. Excellent work so far Jestur.
I keep getting "App not installed as package is invalid" on Android. Any idea how to get around that? I can try to uninstall and start from 0 but I'd rather continue from where I left off.
How to solve the framerate problems, other Ren'Py VNs with animated scenes run and flow smoothly but this game doesn't is it an optimization thing or what?
Don't think I mentioned anything about the game itself, just commented that you're doing a lot of bitching for someone that is the most active on the thread. Also having bad grammar is one thing but I don't think anyone fully understands what point you're even trying to prove anymore.
Jestur, just ignore him please. He's spent the past several days trash talking the game. After attempting to actually address his comments and correct his poor assumptions, he has only doubled down and dug in deeper. I can't report him for violation of TOS or community guidelines, because from what I have seen, he has done neither of those. He is however, trolling hard in an attempt to get attention.
Dude since English is not your first language, there is a App called Grammarly that corrects your improper english Grammar. you might have proper Grammar in your native language.
I'm kinda confused, does the Ep 1 remaster have less sex than before? Krystal's bathroom scene is gone and so is Skylar's seen in the park, unless I'm missing something.
Yes, the scenes have been toned down to make character-building and character progress feel more natural and flow better. Scenes later in the story will make up for them.
yeah, game just doesnt have the same exciting and fast-moving / thrilling vibe it used to. the girls characters have completely changed for it. must be time to update my review. fuck, this game used to be amazing, now it has the same feel every other avn has - slow and metered.. drawn out.. feels like i have to go collect 50 mushrooms or kill 50 rats before i can get to the next level.
Very detailed story and environment, several plot twists placed nicely throughout the story to keep things from becoming stale. The main character reminds me of a few people I know overthinking and agonizing over all the wrong things and missing obvious social queues.
Cons:
The story is amazing however, the episode splits make the story a bit disjointed and shatter the immersion. The game is also huge for mobile devices. The story is engrossing but pretty linear, few more side choices would help alleviate this, odd jobs to up affection etc.
Love the work so far, hope to see more in the future.
probably the game is still running on integrated graphics by-default, you might want to manually set the game to use your GPU through the Nvidia Control panel
if ppl can run it on a device designed for calling your momma at xmas time (a phone), im sure you can run it on a device actually intended for playing computer games which is only 4 years old.. the issue lies with your system, not the game.
you can think whatever you like, but your thoughts do not conform to reality. thtas called delusion. are you sure yr not a feminist? he has a dozen or so women, while you have none. you are a fake chad, he is the real deal.
That's OK to think so, but you went off on a tangent about getting someone pregnant and raising a bastard child so I think you might be projecting. Regardless, opinions are exactly that, so to each their own. I do think he's a bit lacking in the confidence department compared to some others, but I pin it to being respectful and not willing to bone everyone the second he meets them just cause they have a vagina. Perverted, yes. But not sleazy.
the fuck is wrong with you. Some ppl don't want a connection not just to bone. And just because a girls being flirty doesn't mean they want to bone either. So he second guess whats going on because in real life you'd be too if that many women all the sudden wanted to bone.
no, flirting is a behaviour that represents the desire to 'bone', so while you are right on other accounts, you're wrong on that point. no, you dont get to behave in a way that signifies an invitation, but then play the victim if the person acts on that invitation, no matter who you are. thats like going to a nightclub, or wearing basically nothing, and then crying victim when someone makes a pass at you. its that exact kinda attitude of "girls can do anything, no matter how immoral, and you should never face any consequences for your freely chosen choices, cos female", that has fucked up this batshit crazy world full of cucks.
Yes, it's an OIALT cameo. If you've noticed, Caribdis is a patron of Jestur. You can see that at the end of the game when all the patrons are listed (or at least the major ones), Caribdis' name is there. Or if I'm getting it wrong and he's not a patron, in any case he's an important supporter to Jestur.
Gonna say it, only upon playing the opening a second time did I realize, it's breakfast, with tiffany, in her home... breakfast at tiffany's, goddamn it! :D
Suggestion to dev: the Android APK is well over 2GB and doesn't install on many systems. JoiPlay is an option, but any chance the Android install is still going to be supported (more compression maybe) going forward?
dev has decided to go dowqn the "remastering" sinkhole. expect "years" before the next proper update, based on every other game that goes down this sinkhole.
Absolutely stellar of a game with amazing characters in it. All the renders are so pristine, and crystal clear. I adore the settings, and the scenes in the game too. They're very creative, and they lead off from your more typical scenes you find in the same type of setting.
I'm a sucker for affection, and the slow sensual grind in some of the scenes hit a particular weak spot of mine in a great way. All in all I'll be very excited to keep following up on this, and I hope the amazement of this game gets to spread to many others! ^_^
HOLY FUCK I DIDNT REALIZE THAT ANYONE ELSE WATCHED THE FRUIT OF GRISAIA BUT THIS SHIT HAS THAT ANIME IN IT. ALL TIME FAVORITE ANIME HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS CREATOR BRO. THANKYOU
The visual novel is a lot better in my opinion. I read that first and it's one of the visual novels that inspired me to make my own. The anime is alright but the visual novel is so much more impactful because it's a lot more in dept and longer. I suggest you check it out if you haven't.
But I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for playing! 🙂
They will be replaced with a much much better scene in the next couple of episodes. One that is more rewarding and more impactful and one much longer. If Skylar is your best girl, the scene I have planned will be for favorite scene in the game.
Skylar is too great of character to have her first sex scene be a quick screw at a pond/lake and then back to work.
Wow, found this at random, i really loved it. I hope there will be new episodes, in everything both visual and interesting story. One of the best game I played.

I made an Itch account just to say this but, this has Eternum or Being a Dik potential! I need EP 5 eta! Immediate backer when it comes out!
Thanks for the compliment. I'm working on ep5 now.
Awesome I wish you good sleep, don't lose hair over it!
I totally agree. Eternum & B.A.D. are two of my favorites and now Ripples is right up there with them. Anxious for more.

It's all episodes, although with some changed scenes. The girls don't quite give it up as easily. I guess it gives you more to strive for.
Is Ep.1 remastered only Episode 1 or is it all episodes?
from what i can tell not having downloaded it yet.... for windows and mac there is only the remastered version option so its the whole thing with the first ep remade/remastered otherwise this comment section would have a ton of angry posts about the dev and his game
Great game
Will the remaster be for android too?
Its here

Just my two pence...
I guess its a pretty common way to make plots interesting. And you know the dev might not care about such small stuff...

I keep getting "App not installed as package is invalid" on Android. Any idea how to get around that? I can try to uninstall and start from 0 but I'd rather continue from where I left off.
You need to delete the old app and data and start a new game. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for playing.
Love the fact that the person that apparently hates the game has the most comments on the page lol

Is the MC really a sissy, is that kink in the game? I'd rather enjoy playing that.
Do your parents know you are on adult sites like this?

But in english your grammar is Horrible.

#Wrong
Is only episode 1 available on itch?
Pros:
Very detailed story and environment, several plot twists placed nicely throughout the story to keep things from becoming stale. The main character reminds me of a few people I know overthinking and agonizing over all the wrong things and missing obvious social queues.
Cons:
The story is amazing however, the episode splits make the story a bit disjointed and shatter the immersion. The game is also huge for mobile devices. The story is engrossing but pretty linear, few more side choices would help alleviate this, odd jobs to up affection etc.
Love the work so far, hope to see more in the future.
Deleted. Nevermind. They removed it.
I haven't the intention to but thanks bro, already reported him
Just to ask, what are the requirements to run the renders smoothly? I have a gtx 1650 and its struggling to run them at 60fps!
Thanks for making an awesome game btw!
thats gotta be an issue somewhere else homie i was playing on a normal pc a couple months ago and had zero issue
I have played other renpy games, and the animations are smooth... But in this one, they just render in like 1fps
probably the game is still running on integrated graphics by-default, you might want to manually set the game to use your GPU through the Nvidia Control panel
And how do I exactly do that?
Not the best explanation in this but might work, here.
if ppl can run it on a device designed for calling your momma at xmas time (a phone), im sure you can run it on a device actually intended for playing computer games which is only 4 years old..
the issue lies with your system, not the game.
try renpys trougbleshooter (if itch lets me link it):
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/display_problems.html
Already tried that, Idk whats the problem... I searched a lot, and, with what I searched... Its a problem from the game, not my computer..
I have had the same problems I can plan on my phone but my computer will not play it for some reason three different laptops same outcome.
Wrong developer.
Dude Stevie Mike would be great to see Pop up in other games hilarious
That guy's mental is shot. Also, one of the better Adult novels with a great story. Love it!
MC is the real slim chad, all the other slim chads are just imitating simps
you can think whatever you like, but your thoughts do not conform to reality. thtas called delusion. are you sure yr not a feminist?
he has a dozen or so women, while you have none.
you are a fake chad, he is the real deal.
Show post...
good good
I just wanted to comment because I wanted it noted I'm worried for greatchad's mental after that comment.
That's OK to think so, but you went off on a tangent about getting someone pregnant and raising a bastard child so I think you might be projecting.

Are you alright bro? Blink twice if you're being held at gunpoint
I loved this game,really good storyline combined with some adult content,really enjoyed it.
When did it stop being a mega file anyways thank goodness I can finally play
I’m sorry, but I stopped scrolling when I saw “WetMilk” on my screen XD
I know both use honey select but... possible once in a lifetime cameo?
Yes, it's an OIALT cameo. If you've noticed, Caribdis is a patron of Jestur. You can see that at the end of the game when all the patrons are listed (or at least the major ones), Caribdis' name is there.
Or if I'm getting it wrong and he's not a patron, in any case he's an important supporter to Jestur.
Yes, it is. The girl next to her is from Deviant Anomalies.
hey the game is great but the animations are not working smoothly............can have some suggestions to fix it....
Gonna say it, only upon playing the opening a second time did I realize, it's breakfast, with tiffany, in her home... breakfast at tiffany's, goddamn it! :D
Suggestion to dev: the Android APK is well over 2GB and doesn't install on many systems. JoiPlay is an option, but any chance the Android install is still going to be supported (more compression maybe) going forward?
that's a mistake
Just so you know, the first scene in the gallery is accessible without even having started the game.
For some reason the android file stages but won't install. I tried with other avn's and they installed just fine. any fix you can think of?
Did you uninstall the last version and do a fresh install? Also, make sure you have at least 10GB free before installing.
Was a brand new install and have the 10gb even after install
is there a 4.6 walkthrough yet?
Installed on moto g pure Android phone but won't open can you help please
Just curious, I see ep 4 was out in January. (I think). Any rough eta on ep 5??
dev has decided to go dowqn the "remastering" sinkhole. expect "years" before the next proper update, based on every other game that goes down this sinkhole.
Does the ep 1 remastered has the 2,3, and 4?
Yes
Absolutely stellar of a game with amazing characters in it. All the renders are so pristine, and crystal clear. I adore the settings, and the scenes in the game too. They're very creative, and they lead off from your more typical scenes you find in the same type of setting.

12/10 top tier fan believer.
Outstanding remaster! Although based on "0.4.6" I was hoping that there would be a continuation of episode 4 :)
Special thanks for 3310! I do not know if there is a person over 30 years old who did not have this phone at one time :)
When I got to 1999, I started poking at the phone icon with tears of nostalgia in my eyes, and as a result, I played snake for 20 minutes :)))
Thank you so much for your masterpiece work, Jestur!
Haha! It makes me really happy to read your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the kind words.
HOLY FUCK I DIDNT REALIZE THAT ANYONE ELSE WATCHED THE FRUIT OF GRISAIA BUT THIS SHIT HAS THAT ANIME IN IT. ALL TIME FAVORITE ANIME HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS CREATOR BRO. THANKYOU
The visual novel is a lot better in my opinion. I read that first and it's one of the visual novels that inspired me to make my own. The anime is alright but the visual novel is so much more impactful because it's a lot more in dept and longer. I suggest you check it out if you haven't.
But I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for playing! 🙂
I have also noticed that you put two cameos of the last book of the trilogy Red Rising, Morning Star, written by Pierce Brown. :)
the remaster is good and makes sense but i guess you had to take out two great scenes with skylar.
They will be replaced with a much much better scene in the next couple of episodes. One that is more rewarding and more impactful and one much longer. If Skylar is your best girl, the scene I have planned will be for favorite scene in the game.
Skylar is too great of character to have her first sex scene be a quick screw at a pond/lake and then back to work.
BRAVO! Updates can't come fast enough, excellent game!
Wow, found this at random, i really loved it. I hope there will be new episodes, in everything both visual and interesting story.
One of the best game I played.
Thank you for this masterpiece!
Great remaster work! This has been one of my favorites and it's only getting better.
