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

[Vainglorious]

I think it is kind of true for this game here, because you basically tell every girl what she wants to hear, even if it is the complete opposite of what you told another one.
Like when after your first date with Monica you tell Katie that it was fucking boring.

And of course you lie like there's no tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure there won't be a harem ending with all the main ladies, but if there was I'd sure be interested how the MC would sell it to Monica and her girls.
I mean, I would love for it to happen, but it will require some extreme mental gymnastics.

I agree the way it's presented isn't ideal. I did have a different point of view typed out but as I was typing it I decided I was wrong. I think I was projecting how I felt about the characters onto the MC and the MC isn't living up to how I would approach it from a more healthy and honest direction. It's been so long since I've started this game I can't remember how all of it's gone up to this point. (I also haven't played the newest update yet). I think what prompted my comment was the implication that the act of persuing more than one woman in itself was sleazy. In the context of the story, yeah I can see it as sleazy. I will edit my original comment.

I never expect a harem ending in any of these games. I usually don't get so emotionally attached to the characters as some do either. I just persue the ones I'm attracted to, hope the plot and dialog are interesting and if the choices I've made gives me a bad ending I may go back and playthrough focusing on a favorite.

As for mental gymnastics.....some of these writers leap through mental wormholes to arrive at unbelievable outcomes. Logic is never a guarantee in these games.

Not sure why us polyamorists have to be sleazy. I mean sure some people doing this could be sleazy but you could say that about someone in all of those scenarios.


EDIT: To be clear this statement was made with the opinion that persuing multiple women isn't sleazy. However the lies and deception used to persue them in this game does come of as sleazy.

You do what you want, won't judge you. I'm just an idiot who wants that one girl. I think I'm a dying breed.

Just finished the first day and checked my stats but I am shocked to see Zarah Lust at 10/19 when I didn't even select any Lust options. Very confused about this since I consulted the pdf walkthrough...

We aim for 6 week intervals, so 2nd week of December hopefully.

How many episodes are you aiming for?

Just when I think there is no way Katie's writing can get any better, I get to go to dinner w her. OMG I was howling during that. Hilarious!

Zarah is pretty lusty by nature, she's a cougar after all.

As for how many episodes, I think someone quoted Cheeky before at about 25, but we keep coming up with more ideas that if we implement will probably make that estimate pretty conservative. Well unless they run 6800 lines again like that last ep. Will just have to see.

So of course I ran into that game crash after the meeting with the lawyer because I wanted to tell the truth for a change.

I laughed at the photo shoot (Put your damn arm down, Wanda!"), found the Monica scene adequate and the Katie content hot. Poor Francois. Also, nice crossover with more interaction than usual. For even more crossover, Nikki was wearing the dress that Babysitter Christine got recently.

I feel that shit is about to hit the fan very, very soon, but for now I will keep playing that way, as I don't want to waste a playthrough for the gold digger / traitor that should hopefully be revealed soon. Unfortunately we don't know how many days there are left in-game until "the end of the month" for the will declaration.

However, there is a minimal hope that I get to keep at least the three main girls. With the following reasoning:
* Monica finally feels wanted and sexual again.
* Jenna came out of her shell and discovered how hot she is.
* Katie is working on her self confidence and getting better with her self-worth issues.
-> Now if we were to sit them down together there is a mini chance to convince them that they are better off with the MC in their lives, and would they deny the others the benefits that they have reaped themselves?
--> Of course that approach should ONLY work if you treated them right with VERY high relationship scores.

So many that want their cake and to eat it too. Keep the hope alive brothers and the odd sister! In the mean time keep ducking and dodging... I have a feeling things are gonna start getting bumpier.

Thanks for the reply. I was also wondering whether accumulating LP will automatically lead MC to sex scenes or it is possible to deny them. Basically, can I use a single playthrough with as many LP and RP for the characters I like but then branch off and use separate saves to remain faithful to one character only?

 

[TiffanyMonroe]

Was cumming in Monica the wrong decision? If it was oh well lol She didn't complain.

That's never the wrong answer.

 

[TiffanyMonroe]

After seeing Katie in that dress, I'm afraid my mc won't be getting that 15m lol

 

[PhoenixFireeye]

Is there a walkthrough for if you went all the way with Wanda (in Ep 5) and stayed with her before the photoshoot (in Ep 15)? I just want to know what effects the choices cause.

You can always deny dating or sex with a char before it begins, and after there are points where you can break off the relationships, change their nature sometimes (fling, romance, or by messing around and getting caught). Cheeky and co. did a great job of leaving that kinda stuff up to the player and we plan on continuing that. This is all regardless of what points you accumulate, although generally hitting on characters to generate lust points can lead into their pants (if you don't say no) and some may assume a relationship (kinda like real life, go figs lol).

As far as the single play through question. I figure your trying to have a main save you can use to go back and cut down replay time and see all the content while remaining loyal? It's not really gonna work. There is a lot of branching that happens throughout that will cause you to miss content as you go if your not seeing a girl, and some you will miss if your not seeing several of them at once. The good news is our guy Phalzyr has a mod that will help with that.

Damn, I am currently playing the game with that playthrough mode and kinda going free for all content as mode mostly suggest to. Probably need a new save for faithful one route (Katie of course)

The walkthrough on the OP (not the mod) doesn't have the extended scene with Wanda if you went all the way during EP 7. So I'm looking for one that has that.

 

[nielsen145]

well, this was my first return to VN, after 10years lol.
i really liked this one and hence why is also my first ever patreon pledge i made and looking forward to the future of the story

Ah I see. You could try Phal's walkthough from our paetron (think it's a 10$ tier perk) or
