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

[John Bon Clay]

After looking at the Patreon numbers, I can't say that I sympathize too much with any complaints about low wages. 4300$ per month is 3x! what the dev of Thirsty for my Guest earns. And he releases 1000+ render updates every two months with dozens of animations. 4300$ is top 1% earnings for an avn.

I agree with your view that redoing the renders like a maniac can lead to burn out. Best mental health when enjoying the work. Upgrading images is a grind.

I agree 100% with this. I wonder if this started because he wanted/needed money or if it started as a hobby project that became a hit and more of a business. Not that it matters maybe. I just think that if I had two jobs I would make clear that this is a hobby thing and I won't quit my other stabile job for it.

Also I have my own idea about it. I think it's possible that he doesn't know for sure how to close it. How to make the final blow, and that maybe he wants it way too spectacular. As if there is such a thing nowadays?
So to delay it and try to come up with it he releases this on steam instead. I think if this is the case he will abandon the project once it has caught up. As if he didn't figure it out by now, why would he by then and he will be kinda out of it anyway. As he were just redoing renders more or less for years to come.

Hope I'm wrong of course! That he will eventually really truly finish it. I just can't see the light in the tunnel right now. I just see that miking cow that someone posted just a moment ago, haha..

Lmfao, this game still alive? I think this one been in development for 5 years and we hardly get a update nowadays. I wouldn't give af about dev excuses considering there are thousands of other devs working and doing the same thing as him. (Some of them already finished their games). This was sadly one of my favourite game, I liked the characters writing and the plot was decent. Tho I am not interested in playing 25 min every years (if lucky). Main fault of this game was having like 8/10 characters with each having separate routes and vast majority of branches and paths. Any fool knows that it be too much work unless they have a clear idea or working as a team. I am honestly surprised that people are still defending this game, probably sentimental values. I bet this one will turn up like the icstor one as well. Most importantly, it didn't required a rework.

Following true to the name, the cheekygimp continues a game that should've been done year(s) ago.

Ok wtf happened to the incest tag and patch?

The tag is gone probably because it was never official and didn't ever fit naturally with the story as it was never the intent of the creator. WTHI is not one of your bog standard pr0n VN "I say away from home for years but I came home to live with the woman who raised me... my landlady and her three daughters." situations.

So, what, this "season one" thing is just the first 40% of the game with slightly different models?

yes, yes they did. But the S1 doesn't really add anything new anyway other than reworked renders so no new patch needed, it's still ch24.

No, there wasn't. The mod is fan made (it shows) and even have to change the story for adding that content in a non incest game.

Characters won't be updated but renders are and so is script/variables/dialogue/new scenes

hmm, this is... disappointing.

the story has competed its arc, the relationships are at their apex, all that was left was plot resolution and character endings.
instead the author wants to start over? Steam is one of my preferred ways to support devs, but this is not the way to entice me.

I neither feel like starting over or waiting for another slow drip. maybe i'll check it out in 2030 when he finally decides to end it. /shrug

Hopefully updated models? lol

Better hope dev supports vr/ar haptics by then. if no vr/ag touchy feelie sensations.. F95 community will be just as as disappointed as they were back in 2024...

Here's the thing... There was no incest tag!

You only think there was because of a mod.

Blame Patreon's morons. Almost no one will let a $4300/mo income source die.

This is why I don't do the whole patreon thing. The entire set up encourages this. I won't pay 5,10 etc a month in perpetuity. I will donate a fixed amount and probably purchase when the game is done.

 

[Havik79]

So is there new content, do we need a new save?.

 

[drcynic22]

If he's American just claim mental disability, depending on work history that's a backup $1-2k a month for free, plus more free time for things like AVNs.

Oh man, you have no idea how claiming disability works in this country, and it shows.

Oh man, you have no idea how claiming disability works in this country, and it shows.

not to mention at least half the current population under 30 is severely mentally disabled, and cant even read or do math at an 8th grade level...

 

[IsseiKurogane]

Jesus man, does anyone actually finish games anymore.

 

[illogicallity]

Thanks for the compliment. I'm in my 50's lil boy. Yes. If you dumbasses can't be arsed to search and read, that's on you. Now, welcome to the ignore list.

What are they searching for, exactly? 50 year old dude with no job thinks he can criticize people for not wasting time searching through every page of a thread or figuring out what to search with zero context. Yikes. Good lord, there isn't even 6 hours between any of your posts. I feel bad for your mom, having to take care of her 50 year old son.

So many fucking whiners come out of the damn woodwork....

Why couldn't the dev simply finish the game before putting it onto Steam? A complete product straight onto Steam, or is the point that he plans to cash in from each season separately and if he completed it beforehand, then the potential buyers might be rather reluctant to invest if they knew that they'd need to buy 5-6 separate seasons for the full experience?

This game wasn't bad and had quite a few unique strengths imho, the way how the scenes played out was pretty well done and the pacing of the scenes was great as well (in combination with the models it was a pretty great 8/10 experience), but as always a good product has to be milked and the income has to be maximized, even if the dev hasn't had a good work ethic for the last few years (1 update per year isn't really sufficient, especially if you get paid enough money to do it full time) he wants to get paid like a CEO, and I guess i cannot blame him at this point, cuz if you hit it off on Steam/GOG it might get you far more money then you'd ever be able to dream of on Patreon...

But I still think that the dev either should've first completed the game, or worked on an update while also reworking scenes on the side. Right now he's 100% going in on the milking which might turn off anyone on f95 who might have considered supporting them on Steam/GOG.

The Devs have a history of stopping payment when not meeting deadlines. Not sure what they do now since 24 came out but, unless you have facts to back this up, I recommend you vote with your feet and leave.
