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

[Draverik]

Well, also the whole will condition doesn't really make sense. I doubt that the dad could legally require his son to avoid actual family members in order to inherit money (especially if Monica is the mom and Katie and Jenna are his sisters). In addition a lot of dialogue needs to be altered or removed because the MC and other characters talk about his dead mom a lot.

Perhaps if a mod made the characters an aunt and cousin but even then it wouldn't fit without chopping things. After all, as soon as the MC shows up at the house he's telling Monica and Katie how hot and sexy they are. His second day there he's spanking Katie...

I see that you haven't played any incest games if you think spanking and calling someone sexy on day 2 is off the table
The mod is more than just renaming a couple key characters and it actually works perfectly well with this scenario, so much so that i would even go as far and say that the writing with the mod is probably better than 90% of the games on this site that were intended to be incest themed from the get go.

 

[UncleFredo]

Agreed, an incest mod is the worst way to play this game and destroys the entire plot. There are a shit ton of incest games on this site and they aren't difficult to find, no need to ruin the experience of playing this game by using a mod.

Hey. Some of us have played this game with an incest mod from the beginning, and we're perfectly happy with the storyline. So enjoy your opinion but don't squat on our choices.

 

[UncleFredo]

Mr Friendly - you're entitled to your opinion and to face palm me to your heart's content. But i stand by my comment. As much as you think the incest thread messes up the storyline, I prefer it. Tastes vary. So facepalm to your heart's content.

I don't think it makes much difference whether the will prohibits him from seeing people or family members, MC is of age and can see his family without any problem.

If anything, it would be more cruel.

I've been operating under the assumption that the conditions of the will that the MC has been told aren't the true conditions of the will. The dad always wanted MC to "not be a pussy" and make his own way. Be strong enough to go against his father's will.

So the conditions of the will are outrageous in hopes that the MC will refuse to follow them and THAT'S how he actually gets the money. If he does what he's told, he's still just a sheep not deserving of the money.

Likewise the others involved have conditions told to them that will play to their inner demons (Elaine being a cold hearted gold-digger for instance), that if they actually follow what they're told the will says will cause them to forfeit. They have to go against it (Elaine being selfless and caring, for instance).

Just a theory.

Nah - Just a little cameo/crossover. I really like CheekyGimp's work, so I asked if he would mind if I included them in my game as a tip of the cap to him. A little while later, he did the same for me.

I always like to think that a lot of our porn games take place in the same universe, especially since so many games use the same assets an locations, so this kinda brings that thought together a little bit.

I loved those crossovers! Just awesome.
I played My Sister My Roommate before playing Where the Heart is, so at that time wasn't familiar with Kate and Lily's cameo on the beach. When I saw them in the restaurant scene it all made sense and I was blown away.
Yes, the shared universe across different devs games is a great touch. Hope to see more of it.

 

[Kukipett]

Good for you, that you like her ... I´m not, because i don´t like her Look (same goes for Monica and Zarah) or the background story.
I personaly wouldn´t waste my time with someone who acted an way just because someone else wanted it.

Everone like other things. So for me the most Chars are just "meh wtf boring ugly".

My god, so the characters are ugly ?, i just hope that IRL you will find someone who isn't !!

Don't you just love the "Fashion model or gtfo" attitude?

If the games use the same assets it's just because they are ready made and you can buy them for a few bucks on DAZ library.
Many devs are choosing to use those prefabs just because they either can't model their own or don't have time to do so.
Making such a game is time consuming and if a dev is alone and should do everything, he would need one year of work between two updates.
So that "shared universe" is the sign of "fast food" game made quick by an overwhelmed dev.
How many times have i seen the standard park, the groceries store, the colthing store, the same VW beetle and so on and on and on.....

I like better the "My sister has an ass face, but she's my sister and i love fucking ass" attitude !

I still contend that the standard park is a nexus point linking all these games. I want devs to have cameos with other games characters in the park (or the clothing store) to support my hypothesis.

FFS why is there no option to completely remove characters we don't want? I was only interested in the 2 sisters, but the other girls kept showing up even thought selected the choices that were supposed to end the relationships. Is there a sex scene with Katie and Jenna near the end of the current version that I missed because I picked the red options when there were other characters present?

There will never be a sex scene with Katie and Jenna. They are sisters and this is not an incest game unless you use a mod. Even then the creator of the mod would have to render new scenes to have a scene with them happen. The closest you get is when the MC plays with both of them during a massage (?) scene.

Well, I, for one, like the fact that you can play the game practically without sexy times. I love how rejecting any girl's advance will make them go either or . I don't like forced romances, so this makes me happy.

Yes, this is one of things that attracts me the most in the game. I like that I can say no to any of them. I hate in games, when I end up in sexual situations having made no choices that put me there.

You can say no to them all you want. They will be back 5 minutes later.

Yes it's nice but in this game if you reject all girls, the game becomes very short, in my second playthrough, i just selected two girls and what i can say is that i lost 50% of the game comparing to my previous playthrough!

 

[zajaz]

They can come back all they want; I won't give them an inch of my dick (nor a penny of my money).

 

[ename144]

They'll still be around, but that makes sense: people don't disintegrate when a potential lover rejects them. But for the most part they accept the decision and act like surrogate family/friends/acquaintances depending on how well they know the MC.

The main exceptions are Zarah and Bella. Zarah seems to be hardwired for innuendo and lasciviousness; combine that with the devs insisting on offering us a new chance with her after each of her numerous character remodels and she's obnoxiously persistent. Bella, on the other hand, seems to just be borderline obsessed with the MC; she wouldn't stop throwing herself at the MC until they reworked Chapter 19 after some complaints (at which point she merely tries to walk up and hug him). Given her potential roles in the story, it's hard to say if this is a deliberate character trait, an tool to maintain her presence in each player's story, or some combination of the two.

Those cases aside, however, I think the game does a good job letting us rejects girls. The seems show on occasion (the MC's numerous asides referencing how tricky it will be to talk to one girl about another come to mind), but overall I feel like the girls behave in appropriate manners. Even notoriously jealous Katie seems to accept the MC isn't into her if you just turn her down flat.

Except Jolina, you have to go on at least one date with her or it's game over...

But I think Cheeky has learned from that and it, hopefully, won't happen again. Otherwise I will just have to bring it up every chance I get! Kinda like right now

Yeah but I like that. You can do all the girls paths in one playthrough and get all the content (and there is a lot with each of them, not just the main girls which I appreciate since often the side girls are shafted), nothing is closed off. If people want to restrict themselves there will be less content which is better than having generic forced content that everyone gets no matter what.

This game is also very well paced, unlike other games here where they delay sex scenes for years. Overall one of my favourite games on this site (top 3).

 

[WhiteyG]

All the women in the game have a role to play so they will all get a certain amount of time. As far as the forced date with Jolina you are trying to get information out of her so it makes sense that you can't just ignore her. You don't have to have a relationship with any of them but that would make for a pretty boring game.
