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

[a1fox3]

Sorry, I don't normally rise to these type of comments, but I'm on vacation, drinking and in a cheeky mood, so.....:
1. When did I ever give any indication that I expect people to praise the effort ??
2. Threatening to hurt me in your previous post? I'm OK with that, but calling it shoddy because the animations (which I specifically called out as not animations) don't reach your high expectations... Maybe I'd be OK with that, except for the fact that you specifically say "If you're going to set out to do something, then do it proper.". So far this game has 12000 lines of code and close to 500 renders, so I'm OK with there being some errors. Your post above was two lines long and had two grammatical errors. LOL If you're going to bother commenting, at least "do it proper" x'D

I would not even reply to jerks that do that.
You have a great game and the ones who have a problem just want to fap.

Was Marhan from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom the inspiration for Zarah's face?

Because this is all I see.

 

[CheekyGimp]

i get that he was trying to make the "milfs" look like their own age, but did he have to make the neighbor that weird looking?

Did I have to? No! But did I purposefully make her not very attractive (tbh I personally think her body is decent, it's just her face that looks like it should be on a straw-body scaring off crows in a field) ? Yes. I wanted someone that was abrasive, a bit desperate and non-too pretty so people would ask themselves would they fuck her (in a blue-ball situation due to slow-build with other characters) or take out their anger on her (may have implications if you're too much of an asshole) or just work the friendship side. Otherwise, if she was sexy as hell and throwing herself at the MC, wouldn't the MC just spend every day banging her and ignore the slow-ball characters ?

Hey @CheekyGimp maybe you said this somewhere else and I just didn't notice, but can you approximate what percentage of the recent episode was left out because of the bug?

At the time, probably about 20%, but that would have been squashing it in so the Episode wasn't too big. Now that I'm doing an add-on version, it'll probably be closer to a 30% addition!

 

[Skylaroo]

I agree. I painted myself into a corner initially for the Mon-Wed date days, but currently looking at options to smooth out this issue of too much happening every day!

The easiest way to solve this problem is by spacing things out a bit more.

What you have right now is:
Morning - something with female 1
Morning-Afternoon - something with female 2
Afternoon - something with female 3
Afternoon-Evening - something with female 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9
Evening - something with female 1 or 2 or 3
Evening-Night - something with female 1 or 2 or 3
Night - something with female 1 or 2 or 3

That's A LOT to happen in one single day, and that's why you needed multiple updates per day. Especially since each event seemed to be quite beefy as well.

So instead of the current "3 updates for 1 day because 1 day having so many content", you should aim more for "1 update for 1-3 days depending on content/story progression" while offering the same amount of content per update (so the same amount of work for you).

On an unrelated note, I have a question on whether you're planning on harem route or not. So far while the progression with each woman is a lot, they seem to be separated from one another with the exception of Zarah acknowledging MC's interest in Monica. But I wonder whether you'd eventually have more group event, for example both Katie and Jenna together.

Are you planning to release the left
part next time before the next episode or you'll release it together ??
Also when ??(you dont have to answer this one....I'm just desparate lol)

I don't think a harem would make any sense story or setting wise.

Yea - Once I finish the party scene, 1 episode per day (or 2-3 days) is the plan and should be easy to do.
There will definitely be some FFM and some crossover between the different females, but as for a full-blown harem route ...

Will be release separately (within a week of my return from vacation next weekend) and then Episode 7 will get it's own release.

Good. I agree that it doesn't make much sense for a full-blown harem, and I didn't really want it that way either. What I'd love is basically down to the women acknowledging each other that they fell for the MC. So that eventually there's a group activity between them all. It doesn't even have to be a threesome/foursome/orgy, it could simply be Katie sunbathing topless, then Jenna followed suit, and when Monica saw them, she was convinced to go topless too. That kind of interaction feels sexier than just full blown harem/orgy to me.

EDIT: Just want to add that it's usually easy to write one-on-one interaction between the MC and individual girls, but it's pretty challenging to write a good group interaction where the girls have to also interact with one another and not just with the MC. With how good the writing so far for this game, I do have high hopes that group interaction can be done well here. We've already seen a brief example of the group interaction with Monica, Katie, and Jenna during the MC's introduction, it's going to be interesting to see how that interaction evolve as the characters grow.

Can you make an android version so I can play it on my phone?

You could download the compress version it still looks good.

1: You're on holiday man. Go enjoy it rather than dutching it up on a forum.
2: Get some actual cunt. So much better than cgi cunt.

But now I'll try to be serious for a moment ( HA! Fucking unlikely ). It's been so fucking long since I commented on this game that I can't even remember which parts I slated. I remember saying the animations were shit. Now if a 2-image jump back & forth isn't a form of animation then I do apologise, but I still think it looks fucking shit.

Dialog, dialog. I can't even remember what part I slated on that. I remember the sister with the two friends had a tonne of shit dialog. The geeky sister was done pretty well, as was the dialog for the fuck ugly woman who is your mother's friend.

Now what else? Honestly can't remember and can't be bothered using the scroll button to check what I said. I usually don't threaten people over the net though. Name call them yes, or if I do feel they did a shit job then I usually wish bad things to happen to them. Thats wishing though right, not threatening, but then again who gives a flying fuck eh? If I did threaten you though, don't worry too much about it.

You enjoy your holiday you silly sausage.

I like the game a lot so far, the pacing of the relationships is really good. Some of them are going to take longer than others (Jenna in particular I'm sure) and that's good because they are different characters with their own traits and that's what makes it enjoyable to play. My only complaint is I'd like the action animations to be a little smoother - fill ion a couple of the intermediary frames as it were. I know the artwork takes time but I think it'd be worth it.

 

[troll822]

How much "Action" is in the game so far?
I've played this game for a bit and it seems interesting and well developed. The characters so far seem well fleshed out.

EDIT: "You think I am going to be up at 6 am looking for spiders at the pool or something? What sort of pathetic creep would do something like that?" x'Dx'Dx'D
Laughed my ass off.

You get to fuck Zahar or whatever her name is and group the older sister a few times.
