I doubt it will be as big as the last, but it seems pretty sizeable so far.
Yep - Ep15 was pretty sizeable as it was a 1.5x episode (with a dev time to match). So excluding Ep15, this one should be similar in size to Ep13 & Ep14 (each of which were bigger than each previous episode). So in summary - it should be a pretty big episode.

If the girls find out you've been lying do you guys think that's the end with them? or we will get another chance?
DON'T LET THEM FIND OUT. Generous Souls like us must act with the utmost secrecy! Carefully laid (hehe) tracks, meticulous planning, and the subtlest of nudges will lead to the harem end we all desire. Patience and Secrecy, my friend! And then we will enjoy the greatest reward!

You know the ol' saying: Cheaters always prosper (that is how that one goes, right? :unsure:)!

Sidenote: CheekyGimp, has anyone told you how nice you look today? Keep up the good work, you're doing great! I'm asking Santa for a harem end to Where the Heart Is, just thought I'd mention that here, no reason really. You're a gentleman and a scholar!

Having run through the game nearly eight times now (big shout out to Cheeky and Co for making characters this interesting with an engaging story; I'm a proud Patron) and with the endgame approaching I wanted to take the opportunity to pointless speculate and fantasy book where the story is going. Below is a series of observations and/or how I think they'll influence the direction of the game. Feel free to dissect and call out anything that seems off base or totally wrong lol.

Good first post. I totally agree on your Jolina's theory (that's what I've been thinking since the last episode she appeared), but not on Elaine's and Bella's. Oh, and I completely disagree about Lily, haha.

Just one thing about Katie:

Hey All,

Episode 16 progress has been really good over the last week. Will definitely have enough content for a large episode for mid-December. However, I will use my "Dev discretion" and will decide to release at that point or push a little bit to add even more content. Want to squeeze in an extra character appearance but at the moment, our current scenes are already pushing us way over in length.
Episode 16 won't be like episode 15 where we get 1.5x episode and add 3 weeks to dev time. I'm currently thinking it will be a 1.2x episode (enough to get everything we want into it) and aim for a pre-christmas release.
I want to take a week off from the game over the Christmas period. I'm not religious but I am Irish so I have a lot of drinking to do over the holidays. So if the release goes too late into December i'll be even more pissed off than any of you, so I'm dedicated to making sure that does not happen.

Script-wise - We have about 3700 lines written out of a planned 4400. But... to finish off our existing scenes - it will definitely require us to go above 4400.
I expect to hit the 4500 mark by the end of this week with all artwork and animations to go with it. But it will be a very rough draft (our staff coder / error-checker is taking time off from the game in November /December due to RL stuff) so it will need a LOT of tidy-up.
And we will then have a good idea of what scenes we want to trim or extend or if we can squeeze in the extra appearance that we want.

Talk soon and let me know if any questions or comments. And as always thanks so much for your support.

Those spoilers are very intriguing yet very cryptic :unsure: sounds good though I'd love to finally find out who the mysterious gold digger actually is. Sorry if this has been asked already but will this update focus on any one girl?

Nope. I think it is pretty well distributed between Debbie/Jolina/Bella/Elaine/? with a bit of Katie and possibly some Jenna (she is a stretch).
