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

then there is stil an eazy less funny work around you mary Monica mariage is a protected status under the law and has precident over the will so the wil wil be against the law and wil be nulified and sins there is no will left you as his only child get everything

No idea about american regulations about legacies, but it seemed that the condition Donald set with his attoneys are legit. Not 100% because the idea was that if MC sees Monica or the girls any time in his life he loses everything apart the beach house, the car and the first 100.000, but going into details the attoney explained that if he break the conditions somewhere half way there is no mean for him to lose whatever already archieved.

So, storywise, let's say MC stays away from the girls for 2 whole years and then he goes back to them. He gets 1 million dollar plus house, car etc. safe, but he loses the rest, which may be from 4 to 14 million dollar depending on if Elain and Dizzy fullfill their conditions.

mariage is protected under internatiol law no court in the world would go against it in my country belgium you cant even make stipulations like that in your will and you can not give your kid les then 1/3 of the inheretence

Also in Italy. It's called "legal quota". I think it only protects the descendant and the ascendants. For istance, if a son dies the the living parents inherit if he had no offsprings of his own. And the legal quota is even higher, i think actually no one can give more then 1/3 of his belowing outside the parental line. I don't know if the married partner is protected in the same way though. Still i don't know what applies on USA.

It would be interesting if there is anyone with legal background reading the topic that can show some light.

from a legal standpoint a private person is robing an other private person of his freedom where in the world is that legal ? but in this fictional land you have legal slavery thru blackmail but i think it does take place on planet earth so the protection of marriage counts

 

[felicemastronzo]

do you really want developers to take 4-5 years off to get a law degree and put the terms of the will on paper so that they are unassailable?

are you sure? because if this is the case i will hate you forever.

Sorry, it's my fault, I'm nervous, I haven't seen Lily in months.

She promised me a date and has not been heard, I think I've ruined everything.

Good question. But i wasn't implying that Donald's legacy is legally sound in real life. Just that the game affirms it is, storywise. No idea if any of such a clausule can be attached to a legacy in any legal system.

I have had time to play through the episode in detail and sum up my thoughts. Overall I still like it. There are still some frustrating bits (mostly involving the latest will non-reveals), but it does the job of focusing on certain characters while still advancing few important story details.

So anyway, that's my take. There's still room for improvement, but I feel like we're making forward progress again, and I liked a lot of the character work. And, of course, it's great to have the game off hold!

Thank you so very much for this game thus far, and now, I will be looking forward for the Episode 22.

To be clear, the MC doesn't talk to Debbie or Lily in this episode.

But if he had a threesome with them in Episode 20 and didn't fool around with Katie, she will allude to said threesome when she learns the MC and Jenna are a thing. Jenna will be upset, but not too upset if the MC admits that something happened. She'll insist the MC break it off with them, and he can propose sharing him instead. Jenna is kind enough not to shoot him down immediately:

I don't think this will last long, if it even goes anywhere at all. Jenna insists she's not interested in being part of a harem, and Lily said pretty much the same thing last episode. So this is probably just a tease. But it's possible it could lead to a one-off event, or at least some interesting dialog in the future.

 

[DA22]

Shit, i must be a critical slow reader, i might have taken 3 times that much.

It took me longer as well, then again there were some scenes like first with Debbie at pool that might have taken me a bit longer to play through as needed so I was very cautious about minimum time.

I get it, I had a different scene in that Katie was also there, and for Katie Jenna is unavailable, but even then she takes it well, as long as she ends the relationship and doesn't delude Katie

Jenna has good taste though

Anyway it is right to tell that it is the best game ever...

 

[andrew david irving]

Hi megaplayboy10k, well put, and if you overlay the risk of closing off relationships once they are exposed with the conditions of the will it is more like 1% or 2% because you shouldn't develop relationships with your close family. Is there a game worth playing if the dev. closes off 98+% of of the LI's when there is no real need to do so? Until this update I really thought that this was a good game, now I am not so sure.

I enjoyed writing that part even though I figured most people would avoid it, but thought some might just play it to see how the girls would interact in that event.

1. Download

You must be registered to see the links

.
2. Copy all files and subfolders of /game directory of Win build (e.g. /WTHI/game/). You do not need and libraries, left them in archive.
3. Make a symbolic link of WTHI directory to RenPy SDK directory (е.g. →/WTHI/game/)
4. Run RenPy SDK (sh renpy.sh)
5. Choose WTHI game from RenRy SDK menu and press "Launch project".
6. PROFIT!

in life when you have a doubt it's not that every piece of information you gather is strictly inherent to that doubt of yours, every character has their own story and secrets, it's us who have a nail in our coffin and that's why we try to relate every piece of information we find to a clue to find out who the third heiress is.

Angel tells us that she had an affair with a rich but busy man, and we think of Donald. Lily tells us that she was called Dizzy at school and we connect that to the recording of the will.

Bella may well have been truthfully reporting what she gleaned from Elaine and the investigators she approached, but it's not certain that the investigators found the right track

Exactly....Not everything that seems like a clue is a clue.
