VN Ren'Py Where the Heart Is [S1 Rev1] [CheekyGimp]

[felicemastronzo]

I re-downloaded the game to get rid of the mod, and did my second run (for Debbie and Lily of course)

some considerations (then some speculations escape me, I will try to hold back, but I promise you nothing):

- when I was able to confess to Katie that I was interested in both Debbie and Lily I was moved ... happiness seems possible (at least virtually)
- Jolina urgently needs physiotherapy and a posturologist, if she continues to bend down like this every time she has to take or carry something in 3-4 years she will need the orthopedic corset, poor girl.
- confirmation of the great work done on the characters, Katie as a friend is exceptional, I love her, and even Jenna as a friend inspires me less fear now
-if I really have to nitpick, in the initial dialogues with Elaine there are too polite choices, not very credible, MC insults her in thoughts outside the door and then forgives her as soon as he sees her? in my opinion it should at least be emphasized that it was only a momentary forgiveness in the choice phase

 

[Ooh]

Still recovering from the latest h scene in the update. I cant get past it. Its too awesome. As soon as I try to finish, I'm all fapped out before the next scene. I could go on how the girls bodies are distinctively different and how you have a cuck queen egging you on the whole time but just think about it makes me diamond. Bravo sir. This is how a porn game should be. If Jenna would have been there too, Id probably spend a year trying to get past the scene. Its not only the action, its the dialogue as well. I think the dev is smart enough to copy and paste dialogue from good porn movies and just superimpose it to each scene. Either way the attention to detail...Any1 new to this game, give it a try.

I'll take the bet that isn't going to happen.

Likewise, but it's still worth asking.

 

[CheekyGimp]

Likewise, but it's still worth asking.

I love when people people give constructive feedback and I'm always open to it. And as a lot of people can testify, I usually reach out to them for more details as I'm a firm believer that if you're too protective of your work and closed-minded about feedback, then you won't improve.
It takes a particular type of arrogance to assume that your own work is without flaws but there are some out there in that category. (Ace, Cell and I are probably thinking of the same someone as we read this! )

But when it comes to feedback/ criticism, there are some instances where it's better not to ask for more details.
It's like watching a monkey throwing shit at another monkey in the zoo. If you ask him why and expect a reasonable response, then you might end up feeling dumber than the monkey.
BTW - Not saying that's the case here as there wasn't enough details to determine whether he was a monkey or a zoo-keeper. Just a general commentary on why I engage with some critics and not others.

EP19 just shows how to destroy a unique character, good job... i guess.

I'll bite if you care to elaborate constructively?

I don't get it either. I don't know why I care, but I am too curious by nature I guess. What exactly is the issue? As far as I can tell, the scenes in EP19 were telegraphed for ages.

The only ones I can think of is if he means Bella or Wanda....for some reason

I could see someone who was very interested in certain aspects of Lily, Debbie, or Katie's character being disappointed by how the sleepover turned out, though I agree most of it was telegraphed well ahead of time. If someone didn't follow all the talk online in the wake of the beta, there are also some mildly confusing moments there that might rub them the wrong way.

I could also see someone who was all in on Bella (or possibly Elaine) now worrying that she is just a scheming traitor waiting to break the player's heart. That seems a little extreme to me until we actually learn more, but I suppose if someone was really worried about now would be the time to start panicking.

That's all I can think of.

Good points. I didn't think of Wanda. I am not really invested in her character much compared to the others.

Bella, could be. I didn't think she said anything really incriminating. I for one am holding out hope that Bella isn't trying to harm the MC, but who knows. I kind of think Bella or Elaine being the guilty party is too obvious. We are supposed to suspect them, but I think the actual culprit will be more surprising. I tend to be most suspicious of Jolina, Monica, or Lily, in that order.

 

[felicemastronzo]

there is an aspect of the will that I am not sure I understand (my linguistic problem ...)

initially it seems that the money will be divided by the heirs who have met the conditions, then a third, or half or all.

but then, the second time MC talks to the lawyer, reference is made to associations for animals.

the distinction is all in whether or not you signed the agreement, correct? but why should an heir not sign? why should he favor one of the other two heirs?

and to this situation that Elaine's outlandish words refer to? (I know that on this last point no one can answer me)

Not agreeing, completing the conditions, being unable to means the other two will split the full amount (or one ends up with everything).

If no one manages to complete their will conditions (potential given what an ass Donald is), then the money is sent to various (undisclosed) animal centers/shelters/organisations etc.

are you sure? I also thought so at first, but here, if I understand correctly, it seems to me to say otherwise

You are correct.

The game is a bit ambiguous, but the distinction seems to be that if a would-be heir fails to sign and agree to the conditions, their share is divided between the remaining heirs (or the animals, if all three refuse). If an heir accepts the terms but later defaults, their share then goes straight to the animals.

It's not clear what stops us from just signing and then instantly defaulting, however. My guess is that since the first installment of the inheritance is paid out after a year, that's when the animals come into play. Anyone who makes it a year gets 10% of their money, and then locks in the rest for either themselves or the animals. Anyone who defaults before then is treated as if they never signed the deal.

Hopefully it will be clarified some day, preferably before the final reading!

There is one other aspect...there is a 10 year statue of limitations. Meaning, there could be a default after 10 years and there would be no forfeit because all of the money would have been paid out by that time.

that would make sense

otherwise MC would have no reason not to sign and immediately make out with Katie on Greg's table. and even the theories about the third heir trying to put MC (and / or Elaine) out of the way wouldn't make much sense

That is a separate condition upon fulfilling the conditions in order to pass the requrements to get your will. Once that has been completed and the will reading is complete and final, should you then fail to keep up with your specific and personal conditions...

 

[Avaron1974]

Sounds like they get 10% a year over 10 years so anyone wanting the full amount needs to keep up with the conditions for the full 10 years.

Basically for the MC to keep his share of the money he needs to stop all contact with Monica, Katie and Jenna for 10 years.

I think i'm getting tired, when i read your post my eyes crossed in to each others sockets Damn lawyer talk....

Then they do full will reading and it totally changes everything.

I'll start saying that i know when i'am wrong and i want to apologise for my comment earlier about destroying a character, it was 4am after playing a few hours of the game and i let my childish frustration comment here, we all have that moment that we don't agree with something in some games but it doesn't make it wrong to be that way. I won't share what the frustration is because is quite childish and let's leave at that.

CheekyGimp, yes sometimes i can be a monkey throwing shit and my last comment was a good example, it still means something to me but it doesn't matter, i love your game and keep doing what you are doing.
