Patrons could unsub until the Steam release if they didn't want to support the rework. Everything was explained clearly.

Absolutely correct. Unfortunately

I'm not saying they couldn't, but they had payed dearly altready to be suddenly deprived of the game's conclusion which was postponed by years if it will ever come, the game can still get abandoned.
And i don't think you can get refunds from Patreon.

Glad not to have been a patreon.

I think the issue some people have is that they have to wait for the last episode, regardless of subbing or not. But they don't care if Cheeky makes money in the interim.

OK, that is the actual reason he remastered the game, but what do "Patreon's increasingly draconian rules" have to do with it?

My request for an answer was specific to this post:

As far as I undertsand it the game has been remastered for Steam because of Patreons increasingly draconian rules.
If a developer is starting to lose money because of those rules they have little incentive to continue, so Steam is a lifeline for them.

That seems to imply that a remaster was needed to remove something that Patreon prohibits (incest, sex with underage characters, non-consensual sex, etc.). Are you saying that Cheeky made a post saying that he remastered the game for that reason?

I see, so many respond to a previous thread here it was hard to follow all diverging reply’s. It seems you responded to that post asking the member a question, I was providing areas where to find the answer to that question. I guess you do not need the answer but wanted the member to stat their own misinformation. So you dont nee to know that the original post for the planed re do said

From Patreon post
“In addition to finishing the game, we had a lot of plans for 2023 such as re-doing earlier art (and adding animations), correct many minor script errors, flesh out some of the earlier scenes and improve some of the solo-girl paths with more content, add sfx/music to ALL episodes and make a number of much-needed improvements to the game design/GUI/system and also release on Steam.”

For my oversite here are some older Images that may be new to many

That first image of Monika and the two girls looks like a 'died and gone to heaven' scenario...

It implies nothing of the sort, it is a clear statement.
Many devs are abandoning Patreon as rules tighten for all sorts of reasons.
If you want to see what isn't there go right ahead. not my problem.

You switched from this specific "game was remastered for Steam due to Patreon's increasingly draconian rules" to "many devs are abandoning Patreon for all sorts of reasons" in an effort to not have to prove your misinformation. If you can provide evidence that CheekyGimp said he did the remaster due to Patreon rules, I'll retract.

In Cheeky's very first Patreon post on the remaster from Feb 16, 2023, he basically said they want to get on Steam to make additional income and they need to do the remaster to ensure the Steam release is successful.

So, the current plan is to increase the audience/income for WTHI by releasing on Steam. If all goes to plan, the extra income from Steam will give me more financial wiggle-room to take more unpaid time-off from work to focus on WTHI.

In order to get onto steam, we have to re-do the earlier episodes, because they are just not up to scratch.

Maybe he thought they removed incest, but there never was incest officially, just a fan mod

i think the plan was to have monica be the mc's aunt initially but then he changed his mind. thats just a feeling i got tho i dunno if sweetcheeks gimp ever said anything on the subject

The fact that it's here on F95, a pirate site, and free to play is because people upload it here.
I haven't personally seen it on any other game site.

I asked Directly what was the reason for the redo here was CheekyGimp's reply

Hey, Lionheart. It had nothing to do with Patreon rules. This post pretty much covers it: https://f95zone.to/threads/where-the-heart-is-s1-rev1-cheekygimp.10549/post-10092405

Game set and match!

That's fine, all it needed was someone to say hey you're wrong and this is why.
Instead we get the usual reply on here of someone trying to prove how smart they are and braying like an ass, that's why I don't usually reply to them.

So it's better to install Rev 1 instead of ep 1 to 24?

for the first 10 episodes play season 1, then play from episodes 11 to 24 by selecting the option of choose the episode option in the menu.

Are the endings there or the team is upgrading the early chapters?

They are now busy with episode 25. Will take a while though.

Per CheekyGimp I am waiting until January, before attempting to give an estimate for when Episode 25 will be complete. At that stage we'll have had a few weeks dedicated / uninterrupted work under our belt, so I'll have a better idea of how long the whole thing will take. (Hint, it WILL be in 2025 )
