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

[Dirty_Dan]

Just downloaded this game over the weekend. Man, this has one of the best stories I've ever played. Really love the dynamics of the characters and I'm impressed how all of these characters are being handled.

Gotta say though, I'm on Chapter 18 and I'm over here looking like this with these girls:

Game got me feeling bad playing with so many hearts and I'm just waiting for the big come down.

When will the 21st episode come? friends

When will the 21st episode come? friends

Episode 20 is barely a month old, so don‘t expect anything in the near future. I don‘t know the usual development times though. So I can‘t make an estimate

~3 to 4 months. As we are getting closer to the end I expect development time to get longer.

 

[Regardie]

Is masturbating wrong though?

In front of your mom? YES!

But if you don't masturbate in front of your mom, how is she going to see how big her "little" boy has gotten, and offer to help relieve the tension?

True and false, Ace stated sevaral times that Cheeky intention is to realease shorter episodes on a bi-monthly basis. Dunno if they will be able to achieve that.

Anyway there will be plenty quesions about the release, we'll see.

Well, the MC is enabling this behavior and dialogue from the early game implies that this hasn‘t happened before the MC came into their lives. Unless Debbie and Lily have done this before and they both are very convincing liars towards the MC and Katie. Also just shows how one guy can easily uproot their „Bloodsisterhood“

But that could also mean: The third gold digger is 2 girls in a trenchcoat!

Yeah, I'm super-paranoid as to who the third gold-digger is... I was suspecting Lily at one point because of a convo snippet we had, and I haven't ruled her out, but I think that's what the author wants me to think.

Also, I'm not far into Chapter 20, but I feel the "spinning plates of dating literally everyone in the game" is about to come crashing down over my head, and it probably serves me right.

If Porn and AVNs have taught us anything, that will definitely happen.

Lily is to young to be the third gold digger. The MC's father was cheating on Elaine for a long time, so for Lily to be the other women is not really possible. You're right about the authors wanting you to suspect everyone though.

Pursuing everyone is getting more dangerous every episode, but when it comes crashing down that's when you use the start at any episode feature. Might as well have as much fun and get as much information as possible until it all goes up in flames.

Just because he was cheating on Elaine for years doesn't mean he was cheating on her with only one woman. For all we know, Donald could have had fling after fling.

The only ones I'm ruling out are Katie and Jenna. I think all the others are a possibility.

Yeah it's possible he had a lot of flings. It's possible every time you take a step in the beach house you are walking through the residue of his semen. Not fucking likely but possible.

That wasn't really the point though it had to do with the gold digger. I doubt Donald is leaving a third of his money to a fling, and I HIGHLY doubt he had a fling with Lily. You can suspect whoever you'd like but I'm fairly certain it is unnecessary and unwarranted. I'm not worried about Lily, Debbie, Katie or Jenna. Not really worried about Wanda at this point either.

Agreed this game wouldn't be much fun if you try to be faithful and don't pursue everyone. It will be interesting to see the consequences

I disagree, I play faithfully two routes - Monica and Katie. I then quick start each update with every relationship and see what happens. But I never save that playthrough, it's not canon for me.

To each their own. While I like Katie and Jenna (Monica is just ok) I'm not invested enough in their characters to care about playing faithfully. Honestly with the amount of options this game seems to be made to be played as a cheater who pursues everyone. The MC himself has fun reactions to that and it adds some tension too lol (like when one of the girls almost discovers the truth)

 

[Dirty_Dan]

Definitely going to do a faithful Katie (and pals) and Monica run since those are the best girls. And Elaine depending on that turns out in the end.

But there is a hell of a lot of spice in being unfaithful due to how good the writing is. Game seriously keeps track of all of these details and it's great.

As for whom I'm currently suspecting, I have no idea at this point. There was a lot of evidence that pointed to Zarah, but unless Joline is in on the deal, that might not be the case. But they could be in cahoots together. At this point though, I still like the both of them.

 

[jish55]

I think I'm one of the few who don't really like Katie or Monica in a romantic sense and turned them both down while instead going after Jenna and Lily (because god damnit, they're hot and adorable at the same time).

A man of good taste! Jenna and Debbie would have also been acceptable.

 

[Dirty_Dan]

Jenna is my least favorite honestly. Everyone else has way more going for them. Ironically, I didn't pursue Jolina at her request and am now regretting it because Jolina is certainly more interesting than Jenna is.

 

[Alfagrem]

Hair down Katie is not a good look.

Luckily I went all-in on Debbie from the first meeting although I still got a Joline playthrough on standby. I tried some Wanda as she actually seems to have some potential depth but the endless 'negging' I have to do to score points is a little tiresome. I'm fully down with tempering her negative traits but let me give her some sugar when it's due.

Yep. It feel kinda too much. You should be able to be rough and nice in proportion. And Wanda is kinda a nice character. I wish she was a lot more present, as well as Angel, instead of that annoying gross duo which is Monica and Zara.

I would be a big fan of a mod that completely cut that carnival waste of time in episode 18. At least the tickets girl is cute.
