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

his mod does not alter the game in any way..it just has a small indicator if an action is a + or a -..its unobtrusive
i do not use it because these are my gals and i know them so well..HAHAAAA

@CheekyGimp, i've a save in the end of the episode 6(when you say:now is a right time to save). When i open this new update i can only see the stats and end game, i cannot play this new update. Why?

 

[MrStark]

I'll have to replay at some point; while i am at near max points for Monica, i'm missing a lot for Katie. Mind you out of the three main girls i did prioritize Monica first and Katie last so if i had to make a choice between them (sorry Katie fans) I played chapter 1-3 without a walkthrough so i didn't know when i was missing out on Katie points.

Maybe because this update it's not episode 7, but extended 6. You need to play from the end of ep. 5.

Would be fun to get Wanda on a leash for some threesome action with one of the other girls. I know Monica would be among the least likely candidates but just imagine the leather corset, her wonderful booblage squeezing out the top...i can get way more descriptive of the scene lol

I'll be in my bunk....

 

[ThunderRob]

you know Zarah is working on that that kinky slut o'joy

 

[LuciusDragon]

Awesome game!

Thanks. With this amount of compression, I'm assuming there's a loss in image quality?

This. Right here. @CheekyGimp You'll get more love for having some than none at all. Although you will be criticized no matter what either way good or bad, cause internet. My opinion, if its taking up shitloads of time that could be spent say making a whole other scene don't do it. If you have it down so its not so bad, then do.

But hey, I'm just a pirate. I'm done with and hate the Patreon model altogether. I really wish we had some kind of English language DLsite so people could just sell finished (or at least more complete) games.... Steam sorta kinda cleared the decks for more adult oriented stuff. We will have to see what if anything comes of it. =/

Thanks. The 2-3 image loops don't really take up much extra time. Even without the loop, I'd end up creating the 2-3 images anyway. Adding a couple of lines of code doesn't take any time at all. but creating proper animations would definitely eat into time, so that's why I haven't gone there.

@Sam recommends using no less than 85/90 for the losss be imperceptible.

Zarah's face turns me off quite a bit, might just be the skintone but its offputting for me

While I fully admit I do pirate this game, I do support a couple. I wish I could support more but I've found so many amazing works since deciding to take the leap into piracy and join this site that it's just not possible. I really like your creation and hopefully one day I can support it at some level. I'd love for you to be able to hire that second person you seem to need.

My take on animations is I enjoy them. For me they make a game/VN much more enjoyable. While they might not be as animated and polished as some I think they work and hope your paying supporters vote to keep them. I also like the blinking. I think DMD and Babysitter used them well and they bring a little bit of life to scenes. Keep up the amazing work! You have a good solid story and some gorgeous characters (Katie, Jenna, Debbie and Jolina are the ones I like)

Thanks for the inputs. And as mentioned before, I have no hassles with folks who play the pirated versions. And no sweat at all if you never support on Patreon - main thing is that you're enjoying it. I consider anyone that provides feedback as someone that helps support the game.

Not normally so cranky, so it's probably best I get to bed . Up for work in less than 3 hours. And my boss in Air Traffic control office doesn't like it when I turn up for work exhausted. OK, OK, I don't work in Air Traffic control, but I still need some sleep. As usual, let me know what worked / what didn't work in this latest update and one specific question I would leave people with is: Are the individual scenes too long? i.e. would people prefer more scenes (but shorter) ?

So it was you that made the jet pilot drawing a dick in the sky

Well - i am both near and far sighted, and am virtually blind without glasses - both close up and looking at distance...(thank god for progressive lenses...) - glasses that only magnify are reading glasses as far as I know...

Exactly. It (the glasses/screen thing, not the character) is based on a girl I used to work with. She was pretty and used to wear big glasses that she hated, so she was always taking them off. I always thought it was cute that she took them off when I'd be over at her desk and then she'd struggle to read her computer screen if she was showing me something.

You'll have to experiment, most of WebP's savings come from compressing PNGs, it's still better than JPEG just not as much vs PNG. A lot of people 'abuse' WebP and it's not a miracle worker, so it's all about finding that sweet spot of quality:size.

I'd start with 95-90 and see where you get, definitely wouldn't recommend going lower than 80-85. Make sure to always save your original files and keep a backup.

 

[CheekyGimp]

That picture/character is not in the game. Although looking at the art "style" it's definitely from Cheeky

Yep, it's one of mine. It is from an early draft of one of the characters. Someone who has been mentioned, but hasn't appeared yet. So that's why she's in the original promo pics, but not in the game yet.

either the dev couldn't help but overdo the boob slider or some of these women have mad cows disease

I like this kind of deseases...

i used compression quality of 90 and the quality loss is there (well that is the side effect of compression after all) BUT it is very minimal and worth the massive size reduction...atleast in my opinion

 

[CheekyGimp]

I can't believe this isn't an incest game. Don't get me wrong, I hate incest games.. but the title is absolutely PERFECT for one. (Home is) "Where the Heart is" ..it would be such a clever title for one of them.

Yeah, the name is from the expression "Home is where the heart is". Obviously, there is a home theme throughout the story: MC recently moved/thrown out of home, returns back into his old home, etc. And all about where/who exactly he feels "at home" with. Each of the individual episodes are also named after a well-know proverb or expression. ("Love thy neighbour", "Eat, drink and be merry", etc.)
