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

[Construct]

the only real betrayal happens in the last chapter when if MC declares himself to katie, the two girls still want to indulge in one last ride behind their friend's back. we'll have to see what happens.

but in the same way if you break up with katie, the two friends dump you too

The only way through this is either date katie and hope she comes around to share somehow or don‘t date Katie and just take the Debbie/Lily combo, two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

I think we are gonna give Debbie and Lily a little break. So those dates won't be in Ep 21.

So any hints on who we might see in episode 21. Other than Elaine obviously.

I'm guessing it will be a Milf heavy episode. Elaine, Bella, Theresa, Monica, and Zarah. Probably Jolina and maybe Jenna.

Although technically Monica and Theresa would be the only real milfs. Elaine would fit in the milf category but doesn't have kids. Zarah seems like more of a cougar than a milf. Jolina and Bella I'm not really sure on the age. To me a milf has to be 30+ so I don't know if they qualify could be late 20s early 30s.

Pretty much my guess as well. I think Monica is pretty obvious since she was very much neglected for two episodes. This comes in combination with zarah. Jenna will probably be part of it, since she will be curious about who is the Woman in the cctv images she processed and we will get presented with a plan how to proceed with this information. It will be interesting though, since if you are on the Elaine path in ep20 you can spend the night with her. So there are already two different starts to ep21. In the beachhouse alone or together with Elaine at the family home. I could imagine we don‘t immediately confront Elaine.
Other than that, we maybe get the chance to suggest Wandas photoshop to Angel. Possibly revisiting Theresa and whatever problems unravel with Monica’s and Zarahs business.

Nope, I try to let Cheeky drop the teasers to patrons first on who is coming.

How DARE you reward the people giving you money!!! For shame!

is there a release date for chapter 22?

 

[Construct]

All I know is, if those are dinner dates, they will look gorgeous in whatever they are wearing. Though they might not visit a restaurant, because there seems to be only one close by and we were already promised that Francois won’t be made fun of again. So that falls flat.

 

[Machete]

I was replaying from the start a clear Jenna+Jolie run, and i passed the infamous party night with Katie and the girls. Now, i was thinking: isn't the full plot against Natasha technically reveng porn, which is a fellony? Is it appropriate content?

Hi Folks,

Just a quick update to give you a taste of what's to come in episode 21.....

It's been a while since we had just a regular slice-of-life scene so we are going to have a nice quiet night in (maybe not too quiet ) with the MC , Katie, Jenna and Monica. Don't get your hopes up with some girl-on-girl thoughts (Patreon rules...) but we still think it will be good to have a movie night and catch up with the girls.

Also, we're going to get to see Angel as it's been a long time since she last made an appearance and MC will get to attend a social event with her (and mingle with some new faces plus maybe someone else we've seen before...).

We have some other plans too but not going to share those yet as I tend to plan too big in the early phases and end up trying to cram too much in. So once we get close to finishing those scenes, I'll let you know what else is coming.

It's been a while since we had a Q&A, so please enter any questions or comments you have about anything (previous episodes or upcoming) or make any suggestions as to stuff you like / don't like in the comments below. And I'll get back to everyone. Expect spoilers in the Q&A so if you haven't played episode 20 yet, bear that in mind.

Thanks,



CG

Juicy. Hopefully for those of us on both Katie and Jenna's paths we'll get some two-handed action that was foreshadowed in an earlier episode.

Ha, FYI Cheeky did post an update on our patreon teasing a bit. ^ Link above

To begin. Cheeky (and to the extent you'll accept credit Ace) you've created a truly great game. Seriously great. That said, it's time to open the kimono and let us know which women we can trust. When someone plays a game over 3-4 years they inevitably invest in the characters. If they don't they stop playing. So as players/readers where do we find ourselves?

Lost in a sea of potential betrayal by characters who've at least captured our interest of not our hearts.

I spent a couple hours reading the various speculations about who the gold digger might be. Hundreds of well researched comments supported by (for most of us) overlooked clues and factoids in the game.

At this point, it seems almost overwhelmingly likely that the woman/women in whom I'm most deeply invested is/are the most likely to betray me. After 20 episodes this is NOT a good place to be.

I get that you're striving for maximum tension, but the revelation in EP 19 that one of the inheritors had forbidden knowledge was just below the belt.

IMHO you've stretched this rubber band to, if not beyond, the breaking point. Further, now you've begun to force decisions about relationships when you've cast the most doubt about the honor of the women between whom we're supposed to choose. You write a great story with characters that draw our emotional investment, and then beat us with the possible betrayal baton?Not fun gentlemen. Not enjoyable.

It's your game. I support your absolute right to do as you choose. Period. But I'm one voice telling you that it's time to clear the air a bit, because it's rapidly becoming an unpleasant environment.

Don't worry. If there is anything I've learned from reading this thread, it's that WTHI is a harem game, so any betrayals will work themselves out.


I somewhat agree with your point, but from a different perspective: I couldn't care less about inheritance or trust issues when I have Debbie and Jenna, who are too wholesome to even consider as being anything but loyal, forthcoming, and hot as hell.

I hear ya man. Honestly we are a bit slowed down by tieing up the peripheral stories we want to finish before we see that particular cat come out of the bag as we barrel toward the reveal and Will reading. This will take a few eps to do, but as far as the main story is concerned, we are very close to all the cards coming out... and I can promise you the answers are already there in game.

 

[WhiteyG]

Just keep putting out quality content. That’s all I care about, and you guys have done a great job on that.

 

[Dragon59]

Juicy. Hopefully for those of us on both Katie and Jenna's paths we'll get some two-handed action that was foreshadowed in an earlier episode.

Unfortunately, I'm not yet a patron. Between the two platforms, I already support 30 developers/modders (and two other content creators outside of this genre).

 

[zetsupetsu]

Here's hoping we get to see more Elaine next episode. But despite MC being on her house next episode I don't think its a guarantee that it will feature a lot of Elaine. There are two ways to begin the episode after all, so most likely they'll come up with something that works for both locations, so that means no confronting her on the spot if you are on her path and will just have a way for MC to leave the house so both paths can go back to the general direction until the actual confrontation scene on a later episode with just dialogue changes depending on your path.

So unfortunately, even after the reveal from last episode , I don't think there will be much of Elaine next episode and will be put to the back burner again until they decide to move with the story again.

 

[JDVT]

at the end of the episode we found out the Elaine was the one that sent that message to the Main Character to go live with Monica. Hopefully in the next episode the MC will confront Elaine about it and why she had done it.

I don't think it was Elaine, to me everything screams "setup" by Bella and Jo. Would be easy for Bella to lure her sister there and for Jo to make sure she got the cctv recording.
