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

We've already met all the characters, they aren't introducing anymore plus dev has already said MC has no blood relatives.

I figured by "met them all" he meant everyone was mentioned, not yet visualized, but if what you say is true, never mind then.

Well that makes everything so much smaller. (church lady/jo/librarian/bella)

Ahh, so that excludes Dog-Boy then, no? He can't be half-brother if MC has no blood relatives.

The true biggest shock would be it is Monica.

So the whole thing was specifically to get the money for her company, and the father's statements in the will were direct contradictions, the MC had to stay away for his money, while Monica/Zarah and Elaine/Bella had to work at getting MC to live with/marry/impregnate/whatever. To get the money then dump him. Double evil points if Monica's girls are in on it. Like an extra million for each of them if they also pull it off.

That would be quite the twist

A twist and twisted!

Hi guys, I haven't played the game since episode 15, but I lost all my old saves, do you guys have Harem route save in the end of episode 15?

Just found it in the past discussions, if you guys need it, it is in the beginning of ep. 16 with stats quite good with all characters

How likely is it that Theresa is MC' former nanny? Seems like that might fit. But maybe not if dogboy isn't supposed to be related?

It is slightly weird we never see a photo of MC's mom or dad. Since they are kind of the setup to the story, yet we (the MC) never see them, that I can recall.

 

[Ironheart.]

skin color is weird

We don't see any photo's of anyone. That's more a design choice than a gameplay one.

 

[alex13_zen]

Technically, we do actually see some nudes sent by Jenna to the MC on his phone. And selfies for Monica and even Zarah

That is not entirely true and I'm not just speaking of nudes some of the girls can send you.

Will you guys take into account adding more variation to the facial expressions during dialogue or would that increase the workload too much?
Also, thanks for not showing the MCs face, this adds immersion for me and I assume it also lightens the workload a bit. I really wish all games would do this.

We try to have a lot of facial variations, but it really does lighten the load to have a handful of general expressions to work in. Avoiding showing the MC's face was actually a result of patreon polling and actually creates more work avoiding showing than you would think when things get close.

It makes it a lot harder and also limits camera angles on sex scenes which is why all games don't do it.

If you do it full first person every scene has to be set from that perspective which can be limiting so you need to put more into setting the scene right.

Some of the devs I talk to a lot won't do it from a first person because it means more work.

Interesting, I learned something here. I guess I'll be more understanding from now on the faces aspect
As for workloads and rendering, do you guys use cloud computing at all?

 

[Cigar-Ferras]

That is not entirely true and I'm not just speaking of nudes some of the girls can send you.

I just spent the last near hour looking through all the screenshots of all episodes to see if i could find/see any of these pictures that may be in the background that may show something but i must be blind if they are there. lol
I did notice though that in Episode 13 there is a few screenshots with Katie in the hallway in front of the stairs and i have played this through 5 or 6 times but have never had this scene come up? Am i missing her saying something important? Can someone give me a gist of what is said? Thanks.

Cell tried it, but they time you out after a half hour which doesn't help much when you are doing bulk rendering. He considered using a mouse moving macro, but said to hell with it and bought a better video card instead.
