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

[milos1fan]

I can say with 100% certainty, that if nothing unexpected happens, we will release in September, probably even this September. And given that unexpected shit only happens maybe half the time, and maybe only a few hundred of those unexpected possibilities would delay us... that yeah, most likely releasing this month.

Touched base with Cheeky today, he is back from his work trip, and I caught him up with where we are. Which is about 90% done, and maybe 75% tested.

I was wondering about Natasha's wants and desires. Does she want to be in a relationship with the user because of her abandonment issues with her parents? She says that they were never around nor do they really care much about what she does. She had to toughen up because they weren't there to stand up for her. The user was the first to make her feel vulnerable in a long time. Her reasoning for wanting the mc is not because of her sexual fantasies but, her need to be able to be vulnerable around someone. She wants someone strong to lean on and the user is the only she deems capable of filling that role. She doesn't know how to ask someone for genuine help so forced the user to fill the role she needs through blackmail. Is that her character or am I way off?

Natasha's seems to be as desperate as can be, it would be cruel to let her go, the most humane thing to do at this point is acknowledge the damage and take responsibility, put her and Wanda on a short leash, Jolina and Jena sort of a short leash also.
These 4 are all in a good path. Katie's lesbian friends is getting close also.
this game has all the bells of a harem game (that's why I like it)

Nice to see a glass half full person when it comes to Natasha. Not a bad leap of logic with how her parents treatment has influenced her.

With that party scene, how reliant is it to advance Katie's story, I never tried not doing it, is it still possible to successfully go down Katie's path without doing Natasha, feel like so many issues will come out later, other than the aggressive cheating, I feel like this will be a big obstacle blocking the mc and say Jenna or jolina from being 'cool' with him, also the fact that he could face severe legal punishment, that one action kinda gravitates to a lot of people

 

[rambo455]

The best written scene in the story so far, I really thought Monica and Katie would kill him this time, I was really looking forward to his murder, guess I can wait a few more updates, at least Jenna will cry at the funeral

i am the type of guy that wants everyone to be happy. the type of guy that cant even make the bad decisions in a game normally even though its a game. hell i had to abandon other games because they started to play with my mind to much. so all friends or harem endings fit me perfectly buuuuuut its not for everyone and i will never force a dev to make a ending that i want.

 

[rambo455]

Would that be the official walkthrough?

don't know if its the official one but its the one from the main page. the one that gives you the green options in the game itself WhereTheHeartIs_Mod_EP22d_WT_KoGa3 is its name i believe.

when is the next update?

Yeah, definitely not the official version.

It also wouldn't the the first that someone changed the script to try and see more content (which really shouldn't be necessary) and ended up causing problems down the line. Even people trying to do a legit unmodified walkthrough have been known to quit because they can't encompass all the options that the game gives the players. If it was easy to keep up with though, we wouldn't need spreadsheets and so much playtesting. I'd simply recommend using the built in quickstart if you are having trouble with content at any particular point, or, you know... patreon and get the official walkthrough.

If you mess around with Mabel in Ep22, the only thing you'll "fuck" is your relationship with Lily.

wish i had the money to support on patreon that would be a luxury. also its not a problem with the game its just that i did not expect it. usually the walkthrough will give you the perfect ending so losing everything looked like a weird perfect option

Katie's route will continue if you call the plan off early; in fact, I'm pretty sure her story continues if you whiff on pretty much everything at the party. Katie will be pissed at first, but she'll mellow out quickly and admit the MC made the right decision even before you get back home. That's been my preferred path since I started playing the game, even on my Katie run.

Yeah, even if you get caught making out with Debbie. You take a significant hit to her numbers, but it doesn't close the door to her.

That's actually a good point.

Walkthrough for visual novels back in the days used to be like

Perfect route for girl A
Choice 1,
Chioce 2,
....


Perfect route for girl B
Choice 1,
Chioce 2,
....

Now they are just a collection of choices that make you score any point that you can score with barely any note.

Following them doesn't necessary mean good ending. You should like just make the choices that make you score with the girl you want only, most of the games.

Facts. Just going by score/points alone without considering context can definitely cut you off from more desirable outcomes for our game. Yeah we have general relationship and lust values which are important, especially early on, but just as important as them, if not more, are crucial choices that can determine solo or group paths with different girls or lesbian interactions etc. The kicker is how everything interacts with most everything else and basically juggling things until you get what you want or can't anymore and things can get explody.

Yes. To me the biggest example of that is when you do a 4 way with Katie and her minions, then refuse to commit to a committed relationship with Katie when she throws that idea out at you. (Even if you are friends with benefits with her.) No matter what your points are with Debbie and Lily, they drop you immediately when you turn Katie down.

That's why you never should pursuit any of the trio. The heart is where the money stands.

so that effectively istantly leaves you with only one lo of value if money is everything you care about then monica zarah katy jenna and joline are all gone the crazzy cathlic one might be still there as i currently dont know what their money stance is but this mostly just leaves angel as wanda is more of a slave than a lo.

Wanda may have started as more of a slave than a love interest, yes. But with the right choices, she can and does start to evolve into something else.
