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

[Machete]

Then she appeared in Spartacus and had sex scenes and late teens me got another crush on now naked Lucy Lawless.

You are a lot younger then i thought

 

[snakeplisskin]

I think the most damning thing for Bella is if you turn her away this update she tells the MC he is worst than Donald. Which is funny to me because the MC was going to let her stay the night and then pay for her motel.

The 1974 is my girlfriends year, there is a ... slight ... age gap between us. I'm a 90's girl.

She's 4 years older then me then. I just pictuerd you more like 35-40, maybe because most of the people i interacted with here spin around the 40s

 

[LionHeart 95]

I assure you no

only Jenna beats Bella in making me uncomfortable,and I am really talking about general attitude because aesthetically there is little to say.

I simply find the stance of both sisters really critical and difficult to embrace without any doubt

Bella says and contradicts anything, defends Elaine and then immediately does anything to make her look bad, doesn't understand when she is liked and when she is not, does anything to get into the beach house. she is so inscrutable, that even when she helps MC (and she often does in theory) she still leaves doubt

but even to Elaine it is really hard to give trust; she simultaneously apologizes for how badly she has behaved and asks Mc for endless trust for her every behavior; she doesn't give him trust in anything (how many times does she stop him by telling him she can't tell him more?), but she asks him for so much, asks him for a home based on a relationship that doesn't yet exist

my main bet as a third heir remains on Jolina, this would explain why she was in Donald/Elaine's house, it would explain why Elaine wanted to meet her and after that she wants to stay away from him (something she may have discovered)

And what is she supposed to say to him? "bye bye asshole, we'll see you at the lawyers at the final reading of the conditions"?

the gold digger has definitely lied repeatedly to mc (true lies and major omissions), whoever she is, it is not crystal clear but the beach house might play its role, but if mc doesn't want to host her it's not like she can force him.

Even Bella gives MC a "final" goodbye if he refuses to host her.

That sound perfect. it would have been the biggest bombshell of the game!

I can't see Jolina as the gold digger at this point. Her interactions with the MC have left way too much up to the MC's discretion. Unless we think she's completely puppet-mastered the whole situation from day 0, I think it's far, far more likely that if she is involved in the will plot, she's only working with Dizzy... which would pretty much have to be Bella in that case.

Also, how would Jolina being the third heir equate to Elaine wanting to meet her? Even if Elaine somehow knew who she was, I find it highly unlikely Elaine would have any interest in working with the woman Donald was 'cheating' on her with.

My money is on Bella as the third heir. We'll eventually learn she's the one who's seen the will, but the twist will be that it's been more about trying to secure her own position (and surviving when Elaine learns the truth) than about trying to screw the MC out of his money. How she treats the MC will be determined by how he treated her.

Hopefully we'll find out if I'm right before too much longer.

the two of them don't know each other, so Jolina can't do anything but go along with him, if she was in any way too direct she would have risked MC pulling away from her. if she were the gold digger her condition would hardly have anything to do directly with MC, not knowing him or not doing certain things to him would not have been a big deal for her, and Donald instead seems to want to test them all

Also, how would Jolina being the third heir equate to Elaine wanting to meet her? Even if Elaine somehow knew who she was, I find it highly unlikely Elaine would have any interest in working with the woman Donald was 'cheating' on her with.

if Elaine had discovered or otherwise suspected that it was Jolina who was her partner's mistress she certainly would have wanted to see her for herself, not to work with her but to see who Donald had betrayed her for, at which point it is likely that he would have said something unkind to her and would want to avoid meeting her at that point.

Bella is definitely a suspect, only if it were really her she would not easily come out of the role of the villain of the story, really difficult to a path of redemption

already having been the lover of her sister's partner is bad enough guilt, but especially in light of that virtually everything she ever told MC (other than about sex) and Elaine would ring false and manipulative, every time she put suspicions in MC's head, every time she tried to get him away from Monica or Elaine, every time she apparently helped him, she would have done nothing but deceive him and play in her own interest.

 

[LionHeart 95]

Revealing Monica as the gold digger would completely ruin her character. She was the MC's mothers best friend. Her being the third woman would kill any chance of her having any sort of future with the MC because there is no coming back from that. Plus I genuinely believe she hated his dad completely for what he did to her friend.

To throw a wrench into everything just a fun thought. Monica Was MC's mothers lover after the divorce. what if that's her secret?

 

[cryhwks]

I wonder if the gold digger will be random, depending on your choices in the game?

 

[dempun]

That was what I was trying to remember.

Jolina can leave the game this update so it really can't be her.

Jolina can leave the game this update, yes. But that doesn't mean she has to STAY gone. But I don't believe it's Jolina either, mostly because MC even crossing her path (Going into the coffee shop) is pure chance. I mean how could she know MC is going to get Jenna to trace that email to her place?

More likely to me is Jolina and Bella are a couple and Jolina is helping Bella with her conditions to the will.

Zarah is not really new to the plot because you encounter her in the first chapter. She's not a major player, but she's been there from the start. We also get a clue from the fortune teller that could in theory point to Zarah being number three.

To paraphrase, she says Dizzy is `Dizzy in name, not in action. `

We can learn during our pillow talk with Zarah that her first husband's name is Dizinski or something like that. Of course, she being dizzy in name only isn't exactly true with all her sudden changes in hair style, so who knows?

There may be no current plot lines that can even lead us to suspect her, but the entire plot hasn't been revealed to us yet.

Not even we could manage that level of plot diversion.

The gold digger is the same person, no matter what happens, and has always been the same person throughout the whole game. Otherwise it would leave too much room for plot holes.


On a separate note. As much as I love how involved you guys have been, especially this update, in figuring out who is the gold digger, and whether certain individuals could be an accomplice or if Elaine is sincere or manipulative...

I might make a some slight suggestions in your lines of hypothesis and commentary if only to keep things rolling and see what you think. Feel free to pick and choose.

1) Assuming any particular theory of yours is more or less correct. How do you think things will end up when the cat is out of the bag? How would you like them to end up? (This is not a harem question...)

2) Also something I wanted to touch on is plenty of games like ours have angles of betrayal or areas of grey when it comes to actions of friends or love interests we have spent a lot of time with in these games. Needless to say sometimes the emotional response of the player can be... extreme, even if they did anticipate the twists. I don't expect people to end up in more disappointment from the reveal than enjoyment from the mystery (I hope), but feel free to share your thoughts on this too.

3) While our course has been set in many regards which we have been open about. We actually did see some pushback this Ep in regard to a lot of "forced" breakups. Although it is actually possible to maintain every relationship (though not without major danger signs), there will come a point sooner than later where this won't be possible. Hence why the difficulty of continuing to juggle or lie is becoming harder, and the suspicion variables (yes, we have those) have been far more active in causing breakups even when you could have lied your way through before. Anyway, my question is do you think we have been too hard when the axes have came down? Do you want to see more when the drama goes full bore? Do you enjoy the continued tension when sleeping around?

4) Tying somewhat into #1... I like to think we have properly treaded the line to keep you guessing, but also not come out of nowhere with the big reveal when it happens. We also have certain angles/outcomes covered and options not yet unveiled that will allow the players to deal with certain individuals in unexpected ways. (No murder though!) But what do you want/expect when it comes to this?

 

[Avaron1974]

Zarah is not really new to the plot because you encounter her in the first chapter.

She's not new to the plot but she is new to the MC.

She wasn't around when his mother lived with Monica so had nothing to do with any of them when it was all going on.

 

[cryhwks]

Well, in terms of people being upset about having certain relationships end, if you are going multiple paths? If you are upset? You haven't been paying attention. Going after more than one woman, was always going to blow up in your face at some point. And as the game starts coming to the end, that point is getting closer and closer.

And with the Gold Digger, I'm not sure what the fallout will be? I think it will greatly depend on who it is? If it's someone like Monica? That's a huge level of betrayal, because if you are like me? I have been completely open and honest with her about the inheritance situation. If she refused to disclose anything to you, especially if you're romancing her? That's big time levels of messed up. The only redemption in that scenario is if your Dad's rules, for her, were not to say anything to the MC.

But if it's someone like Bella/Jolene? I don't think It would move me that much, because they have been the two prime suspects.

And it's like I've said before, the "Gold Digger" doesn't mean they have to be a villain. I think depending on how you've treated them, will determine how they treat you, once it's been revealed.

1) Assuming any particular theory of yours is more or less correct. How do you think things will end up when the cat is out of the bag? How would you like them to end up? (This is not a harem question...)

When a cat is let out of a bag they are usually very "clawy" so I would find it interesting for the "gold digger" to go on the offensive. Whoever it turns out to be lashing out at the MC, his choices, how "pathetic" he is compared to "The Don", etc. A near complete personality switch, so if it is Bella she goes from "sympathetic, happy, and horny" to her "true" nature of angry, manipulative, and mocking.

2) Also something I wanted to touch on is plenty of games like ours have angles of betrayal or areas of grey when it comes to actions of friends or love interests we have spent a lot of time with in these games. Needless to say sometimes the emotional response of the player can be... extreme, even if they did anticipate the twists. I don't expect people to end up in more disappointment from the reveal than enjoyment from the mystery (I hope), but feel free to share your thoughts on this too.

If the "gold digger" turns out to be someone we all didn't really expect, Monica for example, then I hope that there is a long detailed flashback or explanation showing how and why she sabotaged the MC throughout the game. Otherwise it would be so out of left field to the point where it is unbelievable. I am not really "emotionally invested" in any other characters besides perhaps Katie and Jenna. And once again I would want a detailed explanation of the how and why. Bella, Jolina, Theresa, and Zarah have always felt like secondary characters (and obvious suspects) to me so finding out that one of them (or more in the Bella/Jolina love-spiracy theory) had "betrayed" the MC wouldn't surprise me. I suppose the "why" they betrayed him would be interesting if it was for more than money.

3) While our course has been set in many regards which we have been open about. We actually did see some pushback this Ep in regard to a lot of "forced" breakups. Although it is actually possible to maintain every relationship (though not without major danger signs), there will come a point sooner than later where this won't be possible.

Anyway, my question is do you think we have been too hard when the axes have came down? Do you want to see more when the drama goes full bore? Do you enjoy the continued tension when sleeping around?

I think you've gone too easy on the cheating bastard, you should go full telenovela on the MC. I want to see cars and houses burning, faces slapped, revenge in all its glory. I don't play a man-slut character but I do think that Katie, with or without the help of her friends, would go full revenge... I also think that Jenna and Jolina, being computer savvy, would destroy the MC online. The MC should be punished for trying to juggle all of the women, more than once various characters have told him they are seeking monogamous relationships and that they love him. After all of that to find out he had been telling everyone that he "loved" them would be such a betrayal that it would be great to see him reap what he sowed.

On the other hand it would be great to see a "reward" for the non man-slut playthrough. Perhaps the women (Katie, Jenna, and Monica or Katie, Lily, and Debbie) discuss how the MC had all this temptation and never acted on it, causing his chosen woman to be even happier with him?

4) Tying somewhat into #1... I like to think we have properly treaded the line to keep you guessing, but also not come out of nowhere with the big reveal when it happens. We also have certain angles/outcomes covered and options not yet unveiled that will allow the players to deal with certain individuals in unexpected ways. (No murder though!) But what do you want/expect when it comes to this?

I expect that when all is said and done we shall see a range from sweet and sappy "happily ever afters" to homelessness, destitution, pregnancy, heartbreak, screaming and furniture tossing... You know, the average Maury Povich "Baby Daddy" episode.

No matter what team thinks after this game is over and you guys go ahead to comply some wishes of the players, the first thing that would be asked or wanted will be Jenna, Katie and Monica in a package.

It should include a dramatic scene where the gold digger looms above MC on a seemingly bottomless pit, while MC screems: 'You killed my Father!" and she replies, suddenly showing her penis, "No! I AM you father!".
