Nice, a mature answer!

I ASKED a question, and the only person who answered me to "defend" the dev is you, calling me a dingbat instead of actually explaining the situation (since you seem to imply I am wrong in what I said). Should I read 1700 pages of comment to find what you are alluding to? Because it's not written in the original post.

Unless you are talking about adding content into the re-work? If that's what you are alluding to, I would barely call it new content. It will be nice for the Steam version, but for Patreon (I might be in the minority?), people are usually expecting the story to go forward. Polishing scenes that we already played isn't what most people want right now.

It's like if Vince Gilligan stopped production right before "Felina" (episode 62 of Breaking Bad, the last) and instead, work on releasing extended cut of all the 61 episodes before actually working on the finale. A couple years after the fact, people will be happy to have those extended version, but it doesn't mean that it was the right call to do it before finishing the serie.

I'm just wondering: Why work on the Steam version while fans are waiting for the last episode? Is there a legit reason? Is it because they know most fans will stop pledging when the game is over, so they won't be able to get paid while adapting it for Steam? It's a genuine question, because it feel like it. Most devs I've seen are usually finishing their project and if they need rework, they do it after (or they do both at the same time).

It just feel a bit sus, but I would love to be wrong, so can you give me more insight to why the rework was more important than finishing the actual game?

Greeting, generally it's easiest to use key words like patreon or revision or reworked if the dev is not active on the forums, if they are it's easier to click search and while "this thread" is selected at the top of the search, click advanced search, then just enter the dev's name, you can also add keywords if you like.

I just used the dev's name and found the post you are looking for.

https://f95zone.to/threads/where-the-heart-is-s1-rev1-cheekygimp.10549/post-13933283 the answer

Also if some replies in game threads seem harsh, it's because it might be the first time you are asking that question but others have also asked in many times and after having to answer some questions so many times people get frustrated.

The search function should always be the first go to, especially in threads with over 100 pages.

hope this helps.

No whining here - loved the update! The rework enhanced the game in so many ways, well worth the wait

Love this game - huge fan

 

[vifaloveyou]

I'm not complaining, but I just want to know how long we have to wait for episode 25?

 

[K.T.L.]

I'm easy to please. As long as Lily is around somewhere, I'm happy...

 

[Anony79]

Devils in the details (no harem tag) and I stuck my Dick in every character lol. I couldnt choose at the one scene watching tv or whatever it was where they all found out your in a relationship with each of the main 3. That's the last I played of this game and I'll wait for the final release to play through again.

A great game, I fell in love with each of the girls and their personalities. No matter how long the content, it's your story to tell and it's not done until it's done.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for releasing this on Steam Cheeky I'm glad I could add it to my collection.
I think I've watched that Debbie & Lily kissing scene ten times lol.

spending 9K on 2 rigs plus an extra GPU when one died

9000?!??!? Either USD or EUR, it's a lot of dough for hardware. Did you buy 4 high end monitors? Were the 2 rigs high end? Are you buying Quadro series?

I can give you a high end buying list for less than 4500 USD/EUR for each computer, specially if you don't need monitors.

 

[mytaur]

no only first 1-10 episodes completed S1

So they are no longer updating the original 24 Chapter game?

 

[SandmansMisery]

One of my favorite games looking forward to checking out the rework.

It wasn't 9K each, it was 9K total for both rigs AND the extra GPU.

Honestly? Not sure yet. We have the art done for 3 scenes, but no writing. I'm putting a plan together next week to figure out ALL the scenes that we want in episode 25 to close off all the main threads, and figure out what may get pushed to an epilogue. Really only getting started on it in earnest, so will have a bit more info over the next couple of weeks. I'm also hoping to expand the team a little, now that we're on Steam, so if that works out, it will increase our speed.

Yeah, that's obviously new / wasn't in the original. Glad you liked it. As we progress with the re-do, I'm gonna look for a few more opportunities to squeeze something like this in.

Do not engage troll comments

If you're frustrated by a comment, report it.
Engaging it and then being outwardly aggressive comes under Rule 2 of the forum.

 

[K.T.L.]

From my point of view it was a good idea to go to STEAM.
I picked up a copy there, to help support the devs. Seemed fair since I keep coming back to this one for some reason (probably something to do with Lily *cough*).
Have to say, Jolina is looking pretty hot as well. She's an improvement over the original model. Looking forward to seeing how many more changes there are from the original...

 

[3Promises]

Congrats on the rework

 

[Dentynhometal]

I've been without a personal computer for nearly two years, so I've been relying on Joiplay to play games that don't have android versions. Unfortunately, the joiplay isn't working with this particular version, and I haven't been able to find a android version. At this rate, I'll have to use my work computer to play

When the game started it was just Cheeky making the game. Eventually the team grew to 3 people one of which is Cell who upgraded all the character models.

When Ace had to leave the team due to his personal life. The decision was made to bring the first ten chapters artwork in line with the later parts of the game so they could release on Steam.

Now that, that is finished work should start on chapter 25.

 

[7thOmen]

In Cheeky I trust!!!
Next, I'm going to Patreon to see what I can do there. I've been thinking of supporting a game for a while now. This recent drama has made helped me make up my mind. CellStudios - thanks for all you guys have done! Please pass my regards to Cheeky, as well.
