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

[CheekyGimp]

I don't want to inflate your ego, but your story is one of the best in all aspects, pacing,characters, i don't feel that any of them are side characters ,everyone seems important to the story at some level, all the episodes are incredible, i hope we still get a lot more of episodes.

Thanks Smokebox - And it's impossible to inflate my ego. It's reached max size

Looking for your inputs:
Latest episode will obviously contain new sex scenes / further sexual progression with some of the characters. However to keep the plot progressing the MC will also interact with a couple of characters where there are no new sex scenes planned for this episode.
Unfortunately we cannot create all the images, etc. for sex scenes with (for example) 6 or 7 females in a single episode, so my question is this......
If the MC is interacting with a particular character for whom no new sex scenes is planned in this episode, would you prefer that the MC just walks away with no sex or we still give a sexual option and just have a repeated sexual encounter/ visuals using existing images from a previous episode ? (build-up & dialog would obviously be different).
What's the preference?

Hmm. I am fine with having nonsexual interactions with some characters. Like, unless the possible 4some is next episode, I would feel fine with not seeing any scenes with Debbie, Lily, or Angel, and maybe even Bella because they have both recently had scenes. I hope you aren't going to tease Monica any longer, and she will be in next episode. But I feel like if there are scenes with Jolina or Jenna then I want them to have sexual content.

All just my opinion. I can see some people liking the option to have a somewhat recycled sex scene over no scene at all.

Hmmm... Nah. This kind of recycling is bad for the planet. if anyone wants to see an old sex scene they can just load up an old save. I mean i guess if it wasn't too blatant it could work but if it wasn't planned for the story it could just end up feeling out of place and kinda shoehorned in there. Just my opinion but you haven't let us down before so i bow to your superior storytelling skills and am fully prepared to be blown away if you make it work. Just don't go feeling obliged to shove anything in to keep the fans happy. We're happy enough.

Not every character that appears on the screen has to be fucked. Make him walk away.

For me MC walks away (this game isn't a harem game) .... It's already difficult resist to the teasing of all girls xD ( I'm in Katie + her 2 friends + Jenna path and I refused scenes with other girls ) and because in games I love the story more than the scenes

I 100% agree : )

 

[Dr.Jan Itor]

So - does anyone feel it is starting to drag on a bit? Or happy with the latest plot development and pacing?

Cheeky,the pacing is perfect.Everything feels like it progresses naturally.Much of it is thanks to your(and your team(not sure if you are doing it alone or not ) ) effort and commitment to quality content with every update(which thank god are the very definition of REGULAR ).But there is one tiny weeny bit that is kind of bugging me.Lets say that in one of the playthroughs you are juggling between girls(not me though since...well Katie you know ).The question is this:How long will it take them to catch on to your(or better said MCS) not so honest ways.Will such consequences come in in the next few updates or will you hold off on them for now?(for a specific one one everything burns in nuclear fire )

And I feel your ego definitely is not fed well enough so here it is:FANTASTIC FUCKING JOB!!!!!!!!

If the "no new sex scenes planned for this episode" is due to not being able to render the images in time for the release, then reusing old renders could work as a placeholder.
But if "no new sex scenes planned for this episode" is because the sex scenes aren't meant to take place in this episode/update, then reusing old renders just to have a sex scene is rather unnecessary.

This update introduced hidden suspicion points, which will directly influence you being potentially caught in future updates I assume.

Now that you mention it yeah,there are some of this points within this update indeed.I am really hopeful that the whole relationship part with the girls will come into play for example when mcs and Katies relationship comes into the light(it is a though path keeping relationship with Monica/Jenna high enough without going into full physical contact with them ).

 

[JeefZ]

Mc fucks everything that walks.. It could be cut down a bit.. I mean shit ... everybody.. same some for dessert at least!

 

[qudwls02]

This game always makes me feel super lucky bastard. I know MC is super handsome and super sweet that's makes sense but still. Flirting and banging bunch of smutty girls like other porn games are easy and nothing special about it(and If that's difficult that just makes you annoying just like in real life) but these girls in this game are extremely special. Not just their body but mentally too. They are more than a family to MC and they are loyal and chastity like noble princesses. even they act like they aren't because they think that's not that cool but that's just obvious. It's like these girls are rightfully deserves special treat and special love. That makes me feel so passionate. I'm sure that dev must be understands human psychology very well. Really great job.

 

[Mormont]

Too much incest games here! Yes, I love them but this game is perfect without

I couldn't agree more otherwise we would just have copies of copies it was like George Lucas tinkering with Star Wars some was good but a lot of it bad, don't mess with success!

Thanks. I want to make it progressively more difficult for the MC to keep up a balancing act. And I do want to have consequences if he fails. But I can't give away the consequences or what episode it will happen. Where's the fun in that...

Thanks. I don't want the game to have sex in every scene (I know that will have some people cursing me). So each episode there will be sex scenes (with progression / different scenarios, etc.).


If the MC visited someone that they've previously had sex with (say Bella for example). And she wasn't one of the "featured"/"new" sex scene girls this episode. But the MC needs to visit her for plot progression....
I wasn't sure if it would make sense for the MC to leave without sex (would people think - he's been banging this chick and today he just leaves her with a kiss - WTF??) or whether to play out the new scene (non sexual) and finish with a recycled sex scene. My preference (and that of the team) is no sex but it's always good to get some consumer input....

Thanks. And just to clarify - I'm not saying there'll be less new sex in this episode. Just wondering if we want to supplement the new sex with additional recycled sex. All of the inputs so far are confirming what the team are already aligned on. So it looks like we have our answer but feel free to keep your opinions coming in. It's great to get a feel for what people like.

There is no need for sex in every scene, there has to be story too. One of the main reasons why I like this game is the writing.

 

[jamdan]

You know this is a quality game when people are saying there doesn't need to be sex in every scene, in an adult game of all the things.

I do agree with that though, it isn't necessary to have sex in every scene or even every update. Good story progression is always great.
