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

[chaughton22]

That is just banter, MC and Katie are joking with each other. Its how they flirt, basically.

I agree in general, same theme as her calling MC gay and MC warning that her cock's hanging out of her skirt (That's still one of my favorite lines in any game on this site...)

Also K's hairstyle change kinda threw me at first, her facial features seemed odd without the pulled up hairstyle, but it grew on me and by the end of the date the mild uncanny valley had receded. Well done on that, a lot of games struggle to do significant appearance changes and have both look appealing.

That is intended actually. The MC can be insulting and compare her to zarah or not.

 

[mehGusta]

you are all talking about how this would probably won't end in a harem and i never thought this would any other way.

i mean characters are way better written than in most porn-games, so denying the happy harem ending because of normal jealously-related issues and CheekyGimp being... well cheeky, it seems not far fetched.
but most characters in this story already showed a way bigger tolerance towards MCs flirtatious behaviour on other girls, than is normal. i guess before we shoot for the end goal we can see current results, like jamdan listed and put them into independent groups
- Katie + Debbie and Lily
- Monica + Zarah
- Jenna + Jolina
i guess this is because this game has to offer independent routes based on the main girls Katie, Jenna and Monica
- Angel + Wanda
Angel seems like the safe bet for the whole heritage ordeal and therefore the girlfriend MC is free to choose
i also would put up:
- Monica + Katie + Jenna
allowedly i can't pinpoint how Monica will agree on this yet, but with Katie and Jenna you often play a game of hide and seek in terms of relationship and also Katie likes competition, while Jenna is a voyeur. but my biggest clue for this idea comes outside of the 4th wall: this game is build like a harem game, the way you can pursue all girls while always having the possibility not to be catched and having a definite set of main heroines, who all like each other dearly, strongly suggests it.

we pretty much can assume from this point onwards that above mentioned groups are viable options. since some characters have double mentions, we could link them together. so the only problem i see thus far is how Angel, Bella and Elaine could be added to the mix. everything else speaks a clear harem to me.

i could be wrong this will indeed blow up in your face and i actually would even enjoy this fresh alternative, but i verily doubt it.

(personally i would already be happy if Katie and Jenna could come to terms with each other... with Debbie and Lily as couple invited from time to time)

 

[satoshi36]

The real win for me would Monica + Elaine but unless a miracle happens in the next few chapters, that would be impossible.

OMG that would be the best, i'm praying to every known God for this to happen though the only one should be praying to is Cheeky

 

[Deleted member 1571716]

I still don't want any harem. Just give me a solo with Wanda or Debbie. But, I'd probably have to pay Cheeky some BIG $s to see that happen. LMAO!

 

[ScottyLQ]

To be quite honest, Sisterly Lust fully embraced the harem stuff and so far it's my least favorite aspect in the game. Okay you've got your big harem but your group sex scenes are all mechanically monotonous and boring. I'm not saying it would be the same for this game, but still... Too many girls at the same time isn't all it's cracked up to be. Your scenes run the risk of being like too little butter on too much bread.

Smaller groups as suggested would be much better, not to mention cohesive to the plot. In the end it's all up to CheekyGimp's decision though.

Do not underestimate the persuasion of thousands of paetrons throwing money.

The only girls that IMO could make some sense together are

- Katie + Debbie and Lily. They all have lesbian stats, so that has to lead to somewhere.
- Angel + Wanda. Wanda will do whatever MC tells her to, Angel needs to be ok with it though.
- Monica + Zarah . Zarah is obviously ok with MC banging anything that moves, Monica just need convincing.
- Jenna + Jolina. Jenna wants to use her as a "beard" for their relationship, so maybe?

Interesting groups.
But Monica + Zarah ? Well... For me it will be Monica without Zarah then Zarah is a little too slutty for my taste.
However if we absolutly want to pair Monica with someone... if the dev finds a way to reconcile the irreconcilables (Monica + Elaine), I would be up for it. I like when explosive relationships ends up in... sex

 

[Bladerik]

When somebody says this is not a harem game:

 

[goobdoob]

Weird as EDate is set in EP12 to 0 at start of episode no matter what, so that shouldn't happen... That is why I thought maybe you used my feature to bypass it... It is also altered several times before 14 during convo with elaine... (you could use my script to fix it... if you don't want walkthrough part you can just copy the script file only...and orig script is also included in my mod so can always put it back after loading/saving game... that's all it'd take to fix it. though that will set it to 0 as in not dating Elaine)

Could be a corrupt save? I can't think of any other way than that (editing a save badly too)

Suggestion - use the "default" keyword when defining a variable that could do this. I learned about it reading one of anne O'nymous' posts.

Oh hey, two games where NIKKI IS NOT A LOVE INTEREST BHHAAAA!!

Yeah, thanks a bunch, Cheeks.

 

[Skylaroo]

Monica + Katie + Jenna
allowedly i can't pinpoint how Monica will agree on this yet,

Simple answer, her being a loving mom to Katie/Jenna. So it starts with Katie and Jenna being OK with sharing the MC (easy enough to write for that), and then Monica found out and initially angry but eventually persuaded by them because MC makes them happy and it'd suck to break the family up just because they wouldn't share MC when MC loved all of them the same.

Note that harem doesn't necessarily have to mean group sex. So Monica could be ok with sharing MC without actually having to have sex with Katie and Jenna.

Ha, it's actually one of my favorite things about that game. Some harem games tend to keep the women separate for most of the game, and maybe end with a few token threesomes or something. With the women only really caring about the MC. But I appreciate that SL went all in on it and had actual group scenes with 5 people. And not just that, but with mother/daughter and sister/sister elements to the scenes, instead of all the women focusing on the MC.

 

[seamanq]

That is intended actually. The MC can be insulting and compare her to zarah or not.

This is actually cross-promotion. In the last chapter of My Sister My Roommate, when the MC and Nikki are talking at the lifeguard tower, Katie and Lily go by and they are looking for the MC. This is a continuation of that scene with Nikki and Molly. I laughed out loud when I saw the scene in this one because of the continuity.

I am aware.

My comment was intended to tweak the noses of a select few while giving Cheeky the finger for not following through and luring Sumo's characters to the MTV beach house rape lair (even though the tricky bastard did record the decision/success).

 

[jamdan]

Just wait for Taylor to show up and steal all of MC's ladies

(im kidding guys, don't freak out. Obviously Nikki is gonna steal them all, she is already eyeing Katie)

 

[botc76]

The finished version is actually a further improvement over the beta.
I like the Monica scene more now, though I still think it ends too abruptly.
After all this waiting it didn't seem to last long enough. At least a second go should have been in there. Apart from that it was well done.

The Katie scene... I'll be honest here, it was a bit too much. If Katie really wants to work on how she behaves, it's about time it actually showed.
I don't mind her being a potty-mouth, I don't mind her cursing, but not all of the fucking time.
For me, that she couldn't keep from sounding like a drunk sailor for one evening made her less attractive.
And that's a pity, because she looked so gorgeous with her hair down and she was sweet whenever she let her real emotions through.
I don't want her to become a sweet-talking demure princess, but I would really appreciate it if she didn't run her mouth all the fucking time.

A romantic dinner should be romantic, not just about messing with the waiter.

I don't want to be too critical, I really liked the episode, both the scenes with Wanda and Angel and the Monica photo-shot, I liked the morning after with Jenna and I liked the Katy parts, but I would really have liked them more if she had a little more restraint.

She is working on it, its still very much a defensive mechanism I think. She was really struggling just to tell MC that she loves him. It'll take time for her to be fully "restrained" and not have to throw in some banter or something to feel comfortable with herself and her emotions.
