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

[Avaron1974]

Then why does she inmediately tries to change the target into saying it was for the MC?

If it was something common to tell to someone you live with (which i naver saw it happened with a word like honey) then Bella would have tell the MC that's what she calls her sister.

There is clearly something behind that

Not that clearly.

Bella tells you she won't share you with anyone. If she had something going on with Elaine she wouldn't mind sharing with her.

The dev team also like to throw in random meaningless comments that look like more than they are. It throws people off and keeps them guessing.

Also remember this game has no incest so the chances of that being a thing aren't very high.

Then why does she inmediately tries to change the target into saying it was for the MC?

Because he's there, obviously.

There is clearly something behind that

Not in what she said, and who she was saying it to.
Changing it to mean the MC when she's addressing him, is due to her interest in him.

You're reading into it what you want to see, instead of what it is.

 

[Aldnoah Zero]

We do plan on making replayability easier by incorporating Phalzyrs quickstart mod (after tweaking it some more).
It will allow you to pick the girl settings and EP you want and possibly some key story elements.

And ya the bedsheets in Jenna's has been a pita. I'm sure we will be changing that going forward in new scenes, but not going to take time to rerender old ones (at least not yet), but in the meantime I'd just suggest changing the textbox/opacity temporarily in those scenes.

I realized that from ep 17 the game starts to get more selective ..
Yes, there are several traps throughout history (and re loading save is your best friend) ..
What left many confused was the freedom given to the MC until then, and situations where the intention to accept someone else .. (others are partially... improbable)

Like the tease between katie and jenna (tanning scene) ..
Monica and jenna (pool)
Just show a gift box, and then say it’s not for you ..

The characters don't move away while the mc .. technically lies ... and made the right choices (aka reboot.).
From now on will there be situations of no return, pushing the characters away?
How is it with regard to lies?
It was possible until now, saying I like you and not breakup ..

In an unusual situation, Katie says she would wait 10 years for the MC (accept the money) ......
alternative ending, 10 years later?
So is it correct to say that there will be punishments from now on?
Goodbye avoidance in the answers?

And most importantly, how many chapters are planned?
Thanks..

Hehe. Cheeky is somewhat regretting that money/girls choice now, at least the girl part. Nothing has changed as far as us doing our best to leave the MC an out with the lying/cheating to keep the relationships going as long as possible and turning some of them into multi-girl fun and even multi-girl paths. There may be more relationship traps because things are getting more complicated, but we always intend to leave the most play-ability for those wanting it in every EP. Only when things get near the end (not there yet) will it come time to really decide on a girl/girls, break some hearts (if you haven't already), and suffer some repercussions for your actions that may or may not be acceptable to your chosen few.

That said, there are still times when you can still miss things if you aren't involved with another girl or made certain choices.

This will go double going forward.

 

[Cigar-Ferras]

Like some of the scenes with wanda/angel at the photoshoot if angel wasn't invited and/or not encouarging lesbianism when given the chance. This will go double going forward.

So does that mean we just have to continue being man-whores while dodging the land mines going forward? lol Seems the only way to find out all the juicy gossip. I just restarted to do a solo girl playthrough to see just how much i'll miss just focusing on one.

Land mines won't be avoidable for much longer.

It's getting closer to the day the shit hits the fan. The only question left is who will still be speaking the MC once they all find out what an absolute shit he's been to them.

I don't know if the devs plan on letting any of them forgive him or whether being a man whore will lose them all for good. Probably not all will forgive him if any do.

Going solo or keeping it to groups that make sense to the story might miss you certain comments but that's why some of us have multiple routes, so we don't miss anything nor run the risk of losing everyone.

You so far shouldn't miss much other than some dialog changes with a girl seeing her solo vs while cheating with others. You are more likely to miss scenes by not cheating. (You might just feel more guilt ferrets nibbling away.)

And I'm waiting for this with glee, like with the Melody + Amy dinner in Melody, where they find out the MC has been dating both of them. GLEE!

Haha. I never saw that part. May have to load it up and set some variables.

Oh, sorry I missed the chapter question.... 25 was still the initial estimate, but honestly we don't know. We have arcs planned, and they will take as long as they take.

Yeah on my full play through so far of all episodes i didn't miss anything (I think) That was the man-whore playthrough so anything with boobs was nailed but it was just to see the content ... is it odd to feel bad even when doing that in a game? Maybe i'm weird. lol

 

[Majindevil]

i think in episode 17 ther is a something wrong if you had no sex with jolina in ep 16 and you are dating jenna the right scene triggers if you want to reject her but not when you say you love her i have nearly no insight in renpy but after a bit diggin i think it is:

if (CDate >= 7) or (CDate <= -4):
jump Business_Sex
else:
jump Business_NoSex

wich triggers the branch is missing after your your choice and the line

scene E17 E17S3J_06
J "You ain't seen nothing yet, sweetheart! But enough naughtiness for now. We have lots to talk about. And you cannot stay in my room too long. Mom is still awake."

i changed it in the file and the scene now triggers correctly but i dont know if it could mess something up.

Thanks Majindevil. We know about that one and it will be fixed in the upcoming patch and it won't mess anything up if you don't replay it later. (Just impacts the dialog there).

There is clearly something behind that

Maybe just to see what theories people come up with (such as the ones about Dizzy)

As well as the - 'honey I'm home', we then get
(MC has just come down stairs from eating Elaine) after kissing Bella, she says - 'umm, you taste ... familiar'.

Lily is definitely Dizzy (IMO) As awesome as she is i think she's a poison chalice and absolutely one to watch out for ... the way she reacted to the word and being called "Dizzy" was waaaay too coincidental to just be a throw away line or a red herring and if it is, it's very cheap .... On the other hand though, if it is a red herring it's hooked me so i'm really suss of Lily even though i really her character (For sure an evil genius that one though)
As for the line with Bella about Elaine and tasting familiar .... that was the one moment i was like, "Uh, hang on a minute".... As i couldn't think what she was on about other than possibly the literal obvious! Then i was like, "Nahhh" .... lol We'll see i guess.

Yeah, that as well.

I think there is clearly something there

Even if there's no harem ending, I like the perpetual juggling act of keeping a dozen different girls going. I'm fine with it if you just have to choose 1 or 2 at the end.

Unless you're a nice guy & plan for solos at the outset as well as being a man whore

Of most interest for me in the future is the beach house Katie/Lily/Debbie event (which ever paths you're on) and the reaction of Monica/Katie/Jenna when they walk in on the MC and one (or more?) of Monica/Katie/Jenna.

I maybe wrong but it seems to me there's something wrong with writing in 17th episode. MC takes a level down his intellect, speaking simplier and often uses "ya". Moreover, he's not the only one who uses that word (that's low-level writing when few really different characters uses the same style in speaking), while till that episode that word never was in anyone's lexicon. Mutual bickering with Kathie seems to me really less interesting (and close to disgusting, especially after Kathie promised to be nice) and in this episode almost no scenes have good humorous dialogs (except Lily in the library, which totally follows previous writing style). It seems strange, especially after such long waiting for this update.
There are other small things like dick half a meter long and width as a human arm, days that are just there, when nothing is going on, repeating renders and so on. Maybe devs just took a long vacation from game development and just trying to return back into the flow, IDK, I hope 18th episode will be better than 17th.
