The new Lisa's face looks better. Finished the update today and it said I'm on the way to the harem path.

These last few months remaking Her Heart's Desire have been interesting. I planned to reuse more content from the older version of the game, but after reviewing animations, renders, and more, there were too many bugs, issues, and other details that I could see were just plain wrong.

So if you were wondering, "Hey, didn't you say the remake would be done in April for the last six months, what happened?"

I could say, "I wanted to include more new content."

I could say, "I didn't have a complete understanding of the quality in the legacy version."

I could also say, "I'm including far more patron feedback than before."

All of those things are true. This week, I'll be wrapping up (probably today or tomorrow) the first ending scene that was voted on by Patreon supporters, which will be included in the new Man About Town Ending.

While that's rendering, of course, I've got my day job like most folks, and by Friday, will be concluded and I'll start in on the images & animations for that scene soon after. There are about two weeks left before I ship the next version (1.999) and once that's bug free, then I'll proceed to doing all the machine translations for the game to match the legacy version.

I only started playing a couple updates back, so never saw the older version.
While it still exists (here, elsewhere on Steam & Itch, etc) there's a massive difference between the two and a number of poor decisions I made with the older game that have been improved - or at least made less bad - in the remake.

If you ever *do* get the urge to play the older version of the game, nah, don't bother - now that the best scenes from the original have been updated & added to the remake, there's really no value in checking out the old one (at least in my view).

Lol, I think I've shared elsewhere I'm a marketing professional ha.

Though I did write novels part time before getting into game development, and a few of those turned into audiobooks.

The inspiration for the new (coming soon...) finale for the story in HHD is based on my own "What would writer me want out of a career capstone?"

>boutique holder

What I won't say is that one of my earliest jobs was selling women's clothing...that'd be opening up a whole can of worms.

I just noticed the game subtitle here, which I don't know who added, but that's never been the subtitle of the game, which caused some confusion as a dude on Discord asked where they could find the "Harem ever after," version. That was the name of the last update to the 1.0 series, and the proper game title is "Her Heart's Desire: A Landlord Epic," which is the same for the remake. Though in game, it only uses "Her Heart's Desire."

Clearly, I need to learn how to name things better, since my other game, Milfy Cases, also has a subtitle. Last time I'm doing that.

Speaking of it... is it abandoned, on hold, in production or just plainly forgotten? No, I'm not mad, I'm just curious... I'll wait, because truth be told I liked it.

Peace :(
It's been on hold since I started the Her Heart's Desire remake. There were two reasons for that: first, I'd just rewritten the story, added magic, and changed it enough that I was happier, but, there's a lot I'm not thrilled about with the game. So when I get back to it - next month - I'll be continuing the story *and* working from the beginning on swapping out things I don't think are good enough in the game.

The other reason I put MC on hold while remaking this game was there was a *lot* in the older version of the game I didn't like, and since it has a lot more players + customers than Milfy Cases, I wanted to ensure my portfolio of things was higher quality, since some games generate new players for years + years after they're done.

Considering I created Superspy Steve and finished it in ~2016 (an idiot is managing the steam version & I'm not longer associated with my older titles) and it's got people trying it in 2025...well, I'd like to ensure all my work that I'm still managing is higher quality over time.

Horny Holiday just got an update from my partner, and that's getting a lot of new content which will be finished sometime later this year - she's been working on that one for a few months already, expanding it, and the last version was "3.2," where by the end of the year, it'll be something like 4.0, and have 50% more content than the 3.0, which was like double the first edition back at the end of 2023.

Though I can say with confidence by the end of this year, there won't be any older games being reworked or expanded, and I'll be focused 100% on Milfy Cases until it's done, for the next 1.5 years or so (could be longer, could be shorter, but most likely that much or more time). Similarly, once my partner is done with Horny Holiday, she'll be working on the sequel, Spark of Joy, until that's done.

Thanks for asking, I figured I'd overshare the same things I've posted before, or on my discord or Patreon. I've got a lot of plans & have clear goals from here on out for what I'm doing.

Also: the next Milfy Cases update should be in July, maybe 2 months from now, give or take.

I've just shipped the 1.999 remake to all the platforms, you can see the release notes (public)

There's a lot of new stuff in this last update based on all the feedback I've gotten about the previous 1.99 update and more.

What exactly would "man about town" be?
If you ignore Daisy, Lily, and Rose, that's the ending you get to the game. There are adult scenes in the replay gallery for each of the five endings.

For the Man About Town ending, in the 1.999, there are scenes with Tricia, Elizabeth, Sara, Vanessa, Jen, and Lisa.

I'm with all 3 girls in my play, but did bang the waitress (I think that's Jen - there's so many of these games I play) in the ass at one point. Nothing else with her and nothing really with any of the others.
