VN Ren'Py Completed Where the Heart Is [EP25] [CheekyGimp]

[divingmedic]

My assumption is that Patreon will take around 30% and then the remaining is split for the team as he is not a lone dev. So it's most likely nowhere near $4300/month for Cheeky himself. But as I mentioned a year ago, the issue is that it became below minimum wage "per hour" in which the amount of hours worked is decided by himself. So he could simply reduce the amount of hours worked per month if he wanted to increase the "per hour" wage. Ultimately, the monthly income stays the same.

My biggest disappointment is the timing of it. We all know that the game was very close to the end. I thought Cheeky would've owed it to his patrons of 4-5 years to first finish the game before moving to Steam project (whether it's WTHI or a new game). But I guess the lure of Steam money is too strong. Not blaming him for chasing the money, I can't remember what porn game it was I saw on Steam that celebrated "1 million copy" sold. No idea whether that's a lie from that dev or not, but if a game really can sell 1 million copy on Steam for like $10-$15 price, that's significantly more money than what one get from Patreon.

The game is Fresh Women, I think it sold in the range you gave. But it is not a solo dev it's a team of 3-4 out of Brazil. Even at the low end of $10 a copy after Steams cut and government greedy sticky fingers still a nice chunk of change.

Patreon take 8% and there is transaction fees (for the banks). They are a team of 2, they might have commissioned some things to third party, and they plan to hire a 3rd member

Just hope they can pump out the chapters quickly.

That's why he said he'll quit his job and work full time on this game and future one

Ok so the remake has only 4 chapters? It's a really good quality but we need all chapters at this level.

How long until remake of the rest.... next 3 years?

Here's the thing... There was no incest tag!

You only think there was because of a mod.

It never had the "incest" tag, only a fan-made attempt at an incest-mod (that by now has been abandoned).

Long story short / tl;dr:
Not an incest game so no "incest" tag.

Is fresh women's Dev Brazilian? If it's the poor guy, he has to pay 30% tax to Brazil, plus other things here in Brazil it's a robbery

Yes, someone posted the dev teams twitter/X bio and it states they are from Brazil. I don't think what country you are from the greedy fucking politicians want as much as your money as possible to buy votes to stay in power.

Which I still say is a bad move. He is now also a father. Quittin his main job for full time as an AVN dev isn't really a good idea to me. Children aren't cheap.

XanusR made a mostly up to date incest/wt mod, it's in the mods link in the op. It's for episode 24 and will be updated to this release when it's out of beta.

So I played the New reworked Season 1 and replayed the old one from the beginning, the unfinished demo of season 1 ends at ending of Ep3, and the beginning few scenes of Ep4, but the story line is actually reaching half way through Old Versions Ep6. Some conversations between characters have been improved, some orders of the scenes have changed and other details changed, not to mention the better renderings. I think it's a pretty good rework.

This one is from a Brazilian DEV of an RPG game, as he is Brazilian he only had 8 thousand dollars left of the 20

 

[twofacejoker]

Totally season 1 is more better I mean I hope they all of that in when they make episode 25 because it shows a lot more scenes and choices

 

[twofacejoker]

I'm telling you if they make the normal game like they did with season 1 on stream it will be truly a hit especially if they do it to every episode.

I mean the best part for me in season 1 Lily sleeps in your bed and you wake up next to her

What about the size, why only 700MB? Is this some kind of cut down version? Isn't there 24 episodes?

it is just a demo of the first (reworked) steam version/update.
that version should have the first 10 episodes, if im not wrong.
this demo has only a few (3-4) episodes from that.

I'm just glad that Zarah looks better in the demo.

Remake?
How many chapters in total, and please don't say 24.
How many more chapters are expected before the conclusion?

Don't worry! Remake won't have 24 chapters. It will have 25.
There will be one more chap + possible DLC.

I was expecting at least 25 more, just when it was starting to get good.
