8.2 Final B Release (all versions available)
Hi everyone,
I am just releasing the Final B version of the game!
I ended up not really making big changes from Final A - I really needed a mental break away to be perfectly honest - so if you have that version with a save, it's probably ok to use that for Part 3.
Part 3 will be released much faster/shorter than this version because I will try and keep it to 2,000 renders next time. It was simply too long for me this time.
I appreciate the kind words I have been sent over the last week. I had the chance to completely unwind from even my other business work for three full days and it's helped a LOT. I am starting back into some business stuff now, but I would appreciate all of you understanding I need a bit more of a break before starting Part 3. It was really a rough week near the release...and I've never had a good chance to just unwind. I will be taking a short trip for 5-6 days and I will aim for formally starting Feb 1. The good news though is that I already kind of have roughly 200-250 renders either completely written out or mostly outlined perfectly. So I may have a good start on the script...maybe already over 10% done from the next release!
The best news is that I really was in a bad place and considering whether I wanted to keep going on the game. But a few people -- especially my fiance -- helped me realize the happiness I get from writing this story. Having said that, I am still considering a tweak or two to the story but I will give ample warning way ahead of time if I consider anything. (nothing to report right now) But I am hopeful my screening process and the wonderful cooperation of others I can't formally state on the record will alleviate a lot of what happened this time around. I have come to discover that a few other adult game devs have also had some issues as well, so I guess that's just how it goes.
I am VERY used to normal male thirst/harassment/stupid dick pics and so forth both in online and offline day to day life, but this was of course a bit more severe/legally formal. I never complain about the "normal" harassment too much personally because I believe my appearance has given me far more advantage and privilege in life than the overall negative harassment I've dealt with from men. Most women I know that I feel like are in my "tier" do not often share this sentiment and are usually extremely entitled. (honestly, they can generally get away with it but I guess I was lucky having a very good father that keeps me more balanced...)
I have started editing Episodes 1-7 as a minor relaxation thing in preparation for a Steam Version of the game later this year. All of these episodes together are over 60,000 lines and I've managed to get to about 5,000 lines checked in 3-4 hours, so quite a bit to go. This version will feature multiple languages and other changes. I do not know yet how to let Patrons get this version easily but I will figure something out. (there are keys?)
Anais wants me to send thanks for people that shared some feedback with her. Obviously, she was SUPER nervous about her one scene she showed, but I'm excited to see what else comes down the road. A lot of her game will be based on my lore (I wrote WAY too much lore for this idea) but it will have her own vision/style as well. I'll try and support her however I can and of course I'm working as the Lead Writer with two others as well. (both awesome guys!)
Ok sorry for my rambling yet again -- here are the links. I will make a pinned post of these links later once I have an Android version. (I will be asking for this in the next few days but I can't control how long it takes, etc.)

I have NO idea how to use Android so I am just posting the instructions I was given :)
INSTRUCTIONS for ANDROID:
Install apk.
Grant storage permissions on first run!
On first run you will get a prompt to copy the archive.rpa file to documents/Wills747/karlssons.gambit.two/game folder.
(game will quit now)
Copy the archive.rpa file to the directory indicated in game.
Restart the game.
Keep in mind if your default install location is an actual SD card and slow speed this may slow the launch.
I will try and be around for the next 2-3 hours after this post to make sure links are working ok.
Aannndd...just posting a few random images just for fun :) Just three I happened to have right in front of me! If people are interested in more of the "test" pics I often do could be open to digging around and finding more of them.
