ThanksI hope the real Scarlett Johansson doesn't see this game, because she loves to sue everyone using her face in anything. And the Scarlett content is just amazing in Where the Heart is!

Hi folks,
Just to keep everyone in the loop. Work on the re-do is going well, although I am spending a LOT of time on art, rather than re-writing as there is just too much work for a single artist so I'm working with Cell in the art department. This is our last shot at this and we'll never work on those early episodes again, so we want to get it right. I'm probably being a bit fussy, but we are re-doing some of our already previously re-done art as there was some stuff which I wasn't 100% happy with. We've also added quite a few animations so far (with some help from a really good animator sub-contractor) and have added a LOT of extra images / content in addition to just re-doing the old stuff. At this stage, we have completed a first pass on the artwork for episodes 1-9 (minus some animations and the model agency Wanda/Angel scene). This is a first pass on the art, so will still require some error correction and post-work (photoshop work, etc.). As mentioned previously we have extended a few scenes and plan on adding a few extra ones, namely extra solo time with some of the of the girls. We have also decided that the re-do Season 1 will cover episodes 1-10, not 1-9 as previously planned.
For anyone thinking about renewing for next month or curious as to what the plans are, I would stress that I foresee the vast majority of our time this month and next month working on the re-do, so if you have no interest in the re-do, then please feel free to drop your subscription. I'd rather lose Patrons than have unhappy / disgruntled people spending their hard earned money on a Dev who may not be focusing on their area of interest (Re-do, rather than episode 25).
I am aiming to get Season 1 onto Steam (and here on Patreon) before jumping back full-time on episode 25, although I am spending a small bit of time jotting down ideas / script for episode 25, but that's really to ensure everything stays fresh in my head off the back of episode 24. I don't want to project too far into the future regarding commitments and timelines as it is difficult to predict anything (And I always under-call it), so as we draw closer to the end of this month, I'll let people know exactly where things stand and what the focus will be in December (and how close we are to finishing the re-do season 1), so you can make informed decisions about cancelling / renewing pledges.
This weekend, I'll post a detailed blow-by-blow of the re-do process and will share a lot of sample images.
As always, questions and comments below or send me a DM,
Thanks,
CG
so basically we might see ep 25 in 2025..

from the sounds of things might be worth replaying the game when the redo is out then.

Well, he is being honest with his patreons and I appreciate it.
I get that he wants to be on Steam to get a proper economic return on his work, and I get that to be on Steam and make a good impression on that mainstream market he has to re-do early episodes. Otherwise publishing on a mainstream platform with suboptimal (and obsolete) quality would backfire his image and thus his present and future earnings on that platform (and on any mainstream platform).
So, while I certainly would like to see how the story unravels as soon as possible, I'm with him in this re-do operation for the sake of his legitimate interest, and also for the sake of the quality of future Ep 25 and Epilogue.
He has basically two options:
A) focus on the re-do for the next months so he get a good quality version of Season 1, he publishes it on Steam and he gets good money so he can then focus on Ep 25 and Epilogue without any money-tightness related stress.
- or -
B) rush to write Ep 25 and Epilogue in a "quick and dirty" fashion, so he can quickly move onto the re-do of Season 1 to publish on steam and have a legitimate economic return on his work.
I surely prefer option A.

I played from start without having a mod only for the last chapter and the result was bad.... I had a lot of the girls walk away and to keep relationship with the main characters i had to play the last chapter 3-4 times... I hope with the mod that things will be easier...and more fun...

Hi folks,
I know it's a day late: Patreon wouldn't save my draft, so I had to re-do this whole fucking post. (The irony of re-doing a post about the re-do is not lost on me.) Anyway, here are some details on the re-do.
As mentioned before the Season 1 re-do will cover episodes 1-10. If you have any suggestions of stuff that you would like to see changed in episodes 1-10 (stuff that you didn't like in the original), please let me know. I'm not going to cater to every whim, but your suggestion might be something I agree with (but just didn't think of), so feel free to get your suggestions into the comments below.
So, what are we changing? Artwork, script, gameplay and GUI/interface. And also adding music and sound fx. In order of complexity / amount of time needed, (from least to most) these are:

That's a nice improvement for Zarah, she was the only real avoid for me in this, years ago I remember asking if her face was inspired by Marhan from Indiana Jones.
Someone younger than me can see any difference between these two images?
--- EDIT ---
Now I've noticed it: it's just from black to hazel eyes

The redo was only returning her back to how she was before the patrons voted to have her looks/hair butchered.Someone younger than me can see any difference between these two images?
Thank you. Some of the other folks must have missed some math classes... 17 - 2 does NOT = 1
You've gotten to the end of the game? 1: Can you tell me who wrote it? (I still have plans to write episode 25). 2: Can I borrow your time machine so I can get a sneak peek at the game ending as it might give me some ideas for MY ending (which I have yet to write.)
Glad you enjoyed episode 24...but it isn't the end.
