Ren'Py Demons of the Hearth [v0.8] [Konvel]

[Konvel]

here's hoping we can start having fun with Hatsumi soon(i say that since if you make the right choice she pretty much offers everything to you.). the bad thing about this VN is there are so many girls you wanna add to harem(just for the looks alone) but you know they're not a priority

Yeah didn't want to start juggling too much right off the bat. For many of the side characters, it'll just be a matter of coming later rather than sooner. When the time comes, I want to give them just as much attention as the main girls at the moment.

Do we KNOW the Rakshasa? She seems to at least know who we are. LUL. You don't have to throw me a bone, but I'm seriously curious. Is she a main girl? Or a side character?

Is she a main girl? Or a side character?

I shouldn't answer that one lmao, but you've definitely met her before. Hoping to make the picture more clear before the eventual reveal.

Thanks for porting this game for Android. I'm a sucker for a slow burn with a good story. Some elements remind me of JPDE, without seeming at all derivative. Enjoying DotH very much so far.

This is a good game, with a pretty interesting story, but the quality and placement of the porn and actual gameplay elements seem to take away from it rather than add. I mean, even if porn isn't the focus, just having a whole bunch of gameplay with very few sex scenes only works if those few sex scenes are important to the plot, or visually memorable, or otherwise worth having. Which the ones here are not.

I'd recommend either redoing this as a non-adult VN, or commissioning an artist to get the visuals to hopefully match the writing properly, or maybe even rebooting it with the upcoming Koikatsu Sunshine, whenever that gets a TN. I like oldschool Koikatsu, but this game in particular is being held back by it.

I respectfully disagree. Each and every time there's a lewd scene, it's a character event. It's never happened in the main story. It also fits for each character. Every time it happens, it's due to letting the girls expose their vulnerabilities to mc. I explained this in the discord but these moments are pivotal moments where they're beginning to face their own individuality and branching from what they want s want rather than just what their families want for them. Like with Beatrice this last update. It was basically her blowing off steam as she calls it, but their conversation evolves and he gives an external point of view, viewing from outside of the family inward. It shifts focus, puts perspective on the things they should be focusing on, themselves. Idk, that's what it looks like to me. They all have problems, the lewd scenes are basically giving us glimpses under the hood so to speak as to who they really are. Their own individuality, their own desires.

100% agreed, I'm also someone who likes stories over sex scenes. This story is super interesting you don't get many unique ones here. If I wanted a quick fap Id go to pornhub.

im extremely torn on astrid, in her offer it seems like she wants us to be her underling a mere footsoldier in her spiel. after you reject her offer however she explicitly says 'Ally'. theres just no way to trust a thing she says.

also nylas affection is now 11/10 in my game which is a little strange.

Meh, she's a love interest, right? I wouldn't stress that much over it. I'm excited to learn more about her. Simone is the crazy bitch we need to really be looking at.

I believe the best way to approach this game is to keep in mind that everything you see and hear is just one peace of a very big puzzle. Don't assume anyone is good or bad until you really get to know them (except Finley, she's best girl).
But what I am interested in knowing is not who, but what the Rakshasa is. At first she is presented as a mindless monster who eats men, but now that we have "met" her (seeing things from her perspective) she reminds me of Mio from Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy-. Someone who is driven by the hunger so much so that she cannot control it (maybe not to the extreme that Mio had it, but similar). It will be interesting to see if there is a way to save her from the hunger.
In the end what I would really like from this game is a three way with Finley and Varsha. Something about covering those girls red and blue skins with my white stuff is so American.

I found this tricky too. You have to literally find Mira in the school at night (I found her in the club room). She will not show up on the map.

Thank you!

hey dev nice job so far, I like the game and although I initially skipped through some of the beginning dialogue I found the story quite interesting, keep going and maybe make a few more fixes and quality of life improvements, but overall I'm surprised this isn't as popular as some similar games.

 

[The_Prospector]

Simone is the crazy bitch we need to really be looking at.

Lol glad I wasn't the only one thinking that lol.

Is it possible to max out all girls affection? Cause Astrid, Chelsea and Beatrice I can get their trust levels high, but not their affection.

 

[True Draco Heritage]

Has any breast expansion/transformation been added yet or is it still planned?

Haven't heard any mention of it at all, and there's definitely not any in game.

This update ended up bigger than I intended. Kinda defeats the purpose of calling it .5 but we'll let it stick. While it's still smaller than the other updates, it was definitely a technical challenge so please let me know if you encounter any bugs or oddities. Or just let me know what you think overall!


If you're liking the project so far, feel free to stop by and discuss it on the

New Content

​

• Main Story — 2 Events​
• Chelsey — 2 Events​
• Lilac — 2 Events​
• Tabitha — 2 Events​
• Varsha — 1 Event​
• Around 16k+ words in total.​
• 150+ images added.​
• 3 new animations(not yet repeatable).​

General Changes

​

• Chelsey's room is now available at night after viewing the required event.​
• Tabitha is now active in Sanctus.​
• Astrid, Beatrice, Mira, and Nyla's latest animations are now repeatable.​

Tried to shoot for a smaller update this time around while I reorient some things for the future. I've been experimenting quite a bit with the visuals this update, let me know if the changes are noticeable and if you consider them an improvement! Eventually I'd like to go back and apply the changes to the rest of the game, but only if people actually like it.


Tabitha is now hanging out in Sanctus! I'll be pushing more events with her in the next update but I hope you guys enjoy her introduction. Her addition to the game gave me quite a bit of trouble, but she'll pave the road for more additional characters in the future. The next update will most likely focus once more on character events as they begin to converge.

Edit - Just noticed an error I left in the game, in which Varsha's latest event and one of Beatrice's events plays out under the assumption that you made certain choices. Sorry about that, I'll be working on alternate scenes for those particular situations.​
