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

[LionHeart 95]

Haha, yeah. Sad that it went abandoned, so much potential. Just like Fall Fable, Our Fate, Gate Motel, Lord of Imagination, Sins of the Father, Motherload, Come Inside, Polarity, and Love and Submission to name a few... I haven't updated my advertisements in some time. Just too busy.

Yea don't depress me more Sins of the Father, was suppose to be back but is stopped again do to Kaffekop family concerns. Which I understand this year I lost both parents 8 months apart. Mother to a rare debilitating disease then my Father to Cancer. it takes it out of you.

Hey just thinking....
For Everyone who wants to be with all the girls at least once. Instead of adding to the Li in game. just for fun create a separate short to have the Girl. Could do it as just like a day in the life "Natasha" just keep them in character. like A holiday special does. could fill in for the longer time to build a strong update for the main Game. or do it after the game to give extended life to it, as the girls backstory to explain why they were the way they are. just wishing and thinking out loud. Well I'm just glad you guys are back and busy thanks. love you all

This is fun game. CheekyGimp seems to be one of the devs that take seriously his art work. I am glad to start as one of his patron.

Huh, question about the movie night scene:

Renpy games automatically ship with linux libraries and executives. The devs went out of their way to delete those and release a windows version only. That doesn't make any sense.

Nope, there is a jump to the next scene shortly after that you seem to be missing. Likely from having an outdated version or a modded one.

I think what you mean to say is that Cheeky hosted the linux version separately on our patreon. We aren't responsible for the versions here, which also is lacking the most recent bug fixes I believe.

 

[H2R]

any gallery mod for the latest episode?

 

[Savilesavile]

No Xmass special.....so sad....

 

[Abhai]

No Xmass special.....so sad....

Yeah, there is nothing as much needed as xmas specials, particularly in good games.
When you got a piece of "game" that have a "real" sense, completely is unrelated to the main story, and prolongs its developing time by delaying the next regular episode...Thats some wet dream and xmas wish fulfilled
So sad, thats not the case here.....so, sooo sad there arent more devs who dont give a fuck for those "specials".

 

[vylinor]

Is the next update coming soon?

 

[mitymity]

Is the next update coming soon?

Probably not before March.

I don't mind when Christmas (and Halloween) actually fit into a story's progression, but when the special is an unrelated story line and practically set a different game universe, it seems like a waste of developer effort. Do the majority of paying supporters actually want these specials or is this just something developers think they want?

Good question. What do others think?

I'm with Jack, if it doesn't fit into the natural story I think they are usually a waste (in our game and others).

 

[Deleted member 4406778]

Hey acewinz and cheeky

How many episodes are left would yous say, I'm hoping there's another 20 but I'm also realistic given where the story is at, also are these characters listed main LI or side characters
Lily
Bella
Angel
Debbie

Thanks

I think the same. If they can tie it in fair enough but the story and game are what people want. Taking time out of the natural story path would obviously put the main narrative behind making more work for what is usually a single developer who is already time constrained. As a Patreon supporter I would rather them focus on the product and stick to a wallpaper a month type thing and keep on the main development grind.

Just my 2 cents.

The problem I see is that to have more than a few renders you need to invest quite a lot of time to do it. And using like 2-3 months for a yearly holiday special feels like too much imho. Unless that is something you do to try out something or to get your head clear by doing something else for a while I don't think you should pursue it. At least not for the sake of having some kind of special. Of course if it's part of the story then that just regular dev time.

Depends on how it's done. If it was just some fuck fest game with no story then a Christmas episode would be cool. Your game revolves more around the story though. So if it meant delaying the story so we could get some non canon Christmas episode I wouldn't want that.

If you guys planned it out and next year had a September release that took us through Halloween and set up a Christmas episode that still followed the story and choices that were made that could be awesome. If it's actually not part of the story though I'm sure most would rather see the game progressing. The only way I'd really want a non canon Christmas episode is if it was put out one December after the game was finished.
