This is how I started was by modifying the games scene file. For myself that was fine.
I don't want to get started Ripping someone else's game files and making mods. I wanted a Universal Mod.
If you want to make some permanent changes I'm more than happy to share. There are 2 ways to do this.
1: Create a new screen and add a button to "Navigation screen". This would be my preference
To whom it may concern. The Walkthrough Mod contains a "Navigation screen" and will cause problems.
If you wish to use Textbox version with Walkthrough Mod you need to add the button to "Navigation screen".
Or delete the walkthrough mod
2:Just add the new sliders to Preferences screen

I'll dig into the text box stuff as well, since I already have the other options integrated - I've got more games than HHD, so it's useful for me to add things to my code base, that way, I can ensure the same improvements get shipped to all four of them over time, since it's highly unlikely if a given preference is important, people only want it for one of the titles.
That's a lot of options now in Preferences, but I've added the codes to the dev build on my local machine. Sooner than later, this will get integrated into the game on Patreon, Itch, and Steam.
There's other stuff I have updated, enhanced, or improved from the early part to the 1.8 edition, so I might ship an updated build tomorrow of the 1.8 version including all things, if I have time.
Feel free to chime in if there's options, preferences, or other stuff that could be added to the game, I'd be happy to ensure it works for as many people as possible.

Hey mrbigchungus
I noticed that you haven't used any centered text or at top or the likes
modify this line in the say screen
window:
id "window"
background Transform(style.window.background, alpha = 1 - persistent.textbox_transparency, xalign=0.5)
Add this to the end, will allow "LIVE' movement of text and won't require game restart
persistent.textbox_transparency, xalign=0.5) xpos persistent.text_xpos ypos persistent.text_ypos
Moves all onscreen text this will only work if you have no other onscreen text besides the textbox
If you use
centered "Blah Blah Blah.........................."
or show text "Blah Blah Blah.........................." at top
On screen text like this can get moved offscreen

Text xpos and ypos sliders don't work in real time "requires game restart".
Add " xpos persistent.text_xpos ypos persistent.text_ypos" to the end of this line
background Transform(style.window.background, alpha = 1 - persistent.textbox_transparency, xalign=0.5)
Now Textbox text will move in Real Time but can cause other On screen text to move and run Off screen
I'll wait and see what you've done so far and if I can suggest any changes.
I haven't looked at v1.08 Patreon Edition

Not sure why those required a restart for you, maybe the way it was implemented as an add on or plugin or something? I'm not much of a programmer, so all I can do is guess, but odds are good, I'll get it wrong, since I'm just licking my finger & throwing it up into the air.
Either way, in my dev build, those work just fine to adjust the x and y position.
As I mentioned, I'll have an update of some sort sooner than later with these enhancements. Those hit Patreon, Itch, and Steam generally at the same time.
Since I have a few games (in progress & complete) I'm keen on making sure whatever enhancements that are generic which people would want to see in "any," game they play, I add to the core code base. Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate it.
mrbigchungus You could add some tabs in the preference screen to break it up into general, audio, text box and font if you think the screen has become too cluttered. Yes I said font. I know some like to change the fonts and don't know about finding it in the graphics options. If you are going to support text scaling, you might as well support font options too.
I'll consider the font option thing, I've never dug into that one before, but if I can figure it out, I can add it. Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate it.
Just for you man, since you asked about Fonts, check out this awesomeness (coming in a build soon to HHD on all platforms, probably next weekend if I can swing it).

Posted the updated review today. Great work mrbigchungus
The original Her Heart’s Desire had some shortcomings. A fun experience, but ultimately a mixed bag. The new remaster is far better with more content, however can still be rough around the edges at times. The latter half is where it truly shines and becomes a harem after all.
STORY
Like in the original you are writer / landlord, Chad McBadass, who offers three women a part of his house. Slowly these women try to lead him onto a path of seduction. In this remaster, the girls develop far more balanced over time, having multiple intimate offers for you. However, the first day of the story still feels like it needs polish to match the quality of the latter part of the game. I do appreciate the ability to not give in to their seductive ways so easy.
For anyone still debating online, the women - Daisy, Rose and Lily - are supposed to be your daughters. They are sisters. Pick the custom title option and change Landlord with ‘dad’, Guest with ‘daughter’, Close Friend with ‘sister’, Hon with ‘princess’ and Friend with ‘daddy’. Without those, the story might not make sense having landlords spoiling new tenants. This is a family affair and has to be played that way.
Much of the original writing is cleaned and expanded. There’s more or less one overarching story of the girls exploring their lives. You are able to resist or follow them up. Resisting allows you occasional crass answers that bring a chuckle, although they aren’t truly functional. Taking the crass too far will set you on a bad ending, which still feels like the most interesting story development.
Don’t expect the story to win any awards, but it’s a fun ride that even manages to handle Chad’s writing career pretty well. It’s about 3/4 hrs of playtime, not counting replays and extra content videos. It’s a nice package and an interesting showcase of the growth of Big Chungus Productions.
PRESENTATION
The developer upgraded the lighting, giving the game a better look overall. Scenes are more elaborate and there are probably double the amount of scenes from the original, which help the experience. If a doll-like look isn't your taste, the main girls still might not be your thing. Within the look, the developer does far more in terms of outfits and intimate scenes. Yes, it’s more of the same - but it actually helps aesthetically expand the universe.
Animations and angels is something the developer has been focused on improving and it shows. While I wouldn’t say every animation is flowing perfectly, the amount of animations is really commendable. There are all kinds of new scenes and variations thereof that I won’t spoil, but are visually interesting. The game also seems to cover more kinks, ranging from simple taboo to light BDSM like spanking.
GAMEPLAY
With the new remake, the game expanded - also giving way to multiple endings, good and bad. The contested bad ending where the girls ‘team up’ against Chad is still there, but is now far less likely because the women are fleshed out in the main story. The game is now a choice-novel and you won’t be able to see everything in one playthrough, mainly because things happen simultaneously.
The remastered game also features a replay & bonus feature, which helps you keep scope of all the scenes and actually enhances the game. At any moment during the game, you can read up on a character, find hints and in case of the main girls, watch bonus galleries ranging from outfits to adult content.

, I spoke with developer Big Chungus and he immediately announced wanting to do a remaster of his game. The result is simply a better game with more content and a better story. It won’t rock you world as a timeless VN classic, but it’s a fun silly story that doesn’t ask too much while it hands out much more that it ever didVerdict: 7/10

Thanks, I've still got a few months left for the remake before I'm finished with it, but I'm happy with the reception. Doing this has been more difficult than I expected when I started, however, I think it's been a fantastic learning experience.

Walkthrough mod updated for game version BETA 1.85. Kept the mod for version BETA 1.7 here.
Many variable changes and additions. Probably best to start from beginning again.
