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

[Englen]

True, but even when the MC 'joking' broached the subject on getting it on with 'Mom' the sisters went with:
- "Don't even joke about that!"
And if you get caught with Elaine's sister Elaine orders you out of the house at once!

It is certainly gonna be interesting to see how the story develops, I am just hoping we soon get to see that threesome with big sis and her friends there have been in the works for some time now

You do know that she isnt MCs sister right? Its not an incest game.

Hi all,

With Cheeky generously upgrading everyone's tier at Patreon, I'm not able to see my upgraded tier i.e. the $5 posts. Does anyone have the same issues?

The question is will Mc eventually settle down with his harem or continue his conquest in the future.

they cant manually upgrade your tier so you will not get access to previous posts, you will only get access to the $5 posts that are posted within this month. The way i think they will handle it is that the posts that were meant for $5 patreons will also get posted for $1 patreons, and $10 posts will also be posted for $5 and so on.

is there a harem route planned?

The entire game is a harem route thus far.

Thus far, but wasn't it mentioned that there will be consequences when they all find out MC has been liberal with has affections?

I can't really see how. Pretty much every girl has been open to the idea of sharing the main character with someone or another, whether it's their sister or friends or gets off on spying on the main character having sex with another girl.

So far Cheeky hasn't really committed to either side, whether there will be a harem or not. Recently he posted this on his patreon as a reply to someone asking for the benefit of pursuing more than one girl:

If I was a player (rather than dev), I'd pursue all/any women I was interested in. And as things get more serious with a particular girl, just watch what you say/ do and what risks you take and be prepared to tell a white lie or two (or a hundred). Some girls interact with each other, some don't. Some are open to sharing, some are actually interested in it and some not so much, so just watch out for the cues and prod them in whatever direction you prefer (if they are open to prodding).

There were also statements in game along the line that only with the help of a "Cheeky god" a harem could work with all these women, but also many statements and hints that indicate repercussions if you get caught cheating on others.
Like right now, if Katie finds out about you being with Jenna, it's over with her.

Some people here are violently against harem, feeling it would ruin the integrity and realism of the story, others would love to see how it would/could play out and say fuck realism, no guy could bang all these women at the same time and not get caught anyway.

I think with certainty you can say that some routes will be there, Monica-Zarah, Katie-Debbie-Lily, Jenna-Jolina, Angel-Wanda, There are even options that seem to lead into easing Jenna and Katie into the idea that you could be with both of them (though not them with each other obviously) and I could also see Elaine and Bella agreeing to share the MC.
How more than that could be or couldn't be possible, only time and Cheekygimp and his team can tell.

I for one haven't given up on the dream of an all encompassing harem... especially considering that there's practically no girl I don't like (even a sub Wanda doesn't seem sooo bad), I mean I was sure I would hate Elaine before she was actually introduced, but now she has become my second favourite character when it comes to sexy shenanigans and one of my favourites overall.

Damn that Cheeky and the others for making all these ladies so fucking hot.

 

[Beatrix Kiddo]

I would specially love Jenna-Katie, Jenna-Katie-Monica, Monica-Elaine. It's extra hot when the parts are initially conflicting but they finally find common ground and give in, the stronger the conflict the hotter it is.

I mean, realism is nice, but there's also something to be said for the unflinching wish fulfilment of Sisterly Lust where you can lead MCs mom and sisters into being an everything goes, everyone loves everybody in every possible way-family.

yep, we need no realism in this game, there is already too many realistic games
moreover including a few tentacle-monsters and one or two hot nekos there would be a nice bonus.

Well, there are many games that require you to grind and grind for hours over weeks of game time to get any, this could be considered realistic for some of us.

And I know you are too smart to seriously suggest a harem ending (even though you might not want it) would be in the same category as adding kemonomimis or tentacle -monsters into a game.
Sure, both are pretty unrealistic, but of a completely different kind.

Besides, for example in My New Family, I'd say the Neko isn't the most unrealistic thing in the game, more like every single girl instantly gets wet upon meeting the MC... come to think of it, pretty similar to WTHI, with a bit less effort.

Are they planning to release chapter 17 this month?

As we could discuss realistic/non-realistic stuff in the games endlessly, i think its would be better to not crawl too far in that cave.
In my opinion this game is (almost*) perfect the way it is.
It has just a right dose of realism, and the in-game relations and characters are diverse and well balanced. Anything more or less has a fair chance to disrupt that balance, and Im sure devs wont let that happens.

p.s.
(*) and when our dear mc finally gets that bitch Elaine, the game will be perfect

What I don't get is the people against the idea of a harem especially if its a separate route. You could always you know not go down that path. At least if it was implemented it gives people a choice. As of right now if you were sexing all the women and come towards the end and have to pick one how would you all of the others react especially Katie/Jenna knowing each other feels like a war would start especially from Katie.

Anything can be entered optionally. Sex with aliens, monster girls, resuscitate the mother, etc. But what makes a quality product is its consistency. What has been done cannot be sacrificed just to satisfy the desires of a few, who are not interested in anything except satisfying their kinks.

That's a bit overdramatic isn't it?

I don't think it's up to you, me or anybody else to decide what is consistent or not in Cheeky's game, that is in the end up to him.

Nevertheless, It's just completely weird to argue that a game would lose its consistency over adding an optional path, you don't have too choose.
You have any idea how many games have silly quests, weird easter eggs, stuff that is completely out there? You have any idea how many VNs offer routes just for fun? Key, being one of the most influential VN developers, with several classics of the genre up their sleeves has completely bonkers routes in near every game.

I really wonder what you base this stuff on, it can't be due to your experience in gaming or more specifically playing visual novels, BECAUSE that's just not what you experience playing games of any genre, certainly not visual novels.

And lastly, whenever the topic of an harem ending comes up, some people say they would like it, some say they wouldn't.
How do YOU know how many people actually want it? Or are against it like you are? Was there a poll I missed? Did somebody pass on a questionnaire I never got to see?

You have a right to your opinion, just like I do, but methinks you presume a bit too much on all fronts.

Lol, read your answer...

I don't think it's up to you, me or anybody else to decide what is consistent or not in Cheeky's game, that is in the end up to him.

Well, if you can't judge the consistency of a product, is up to you, I can read a book, see a movie and can realise if is consistent or not.

Nevertheless, It's just completely weird to argue that a game would lose its consistency over adding an optional path, you don't have too choose.

Key, being one of the most influential VN developers, with several classics of the genre up their sleeves has completely bonkers routes in near every game.

Each product must be analysed separately, it is not possible to say "oh! this one has an optional path so all other games should have it". It'd be very silly and boring.
And bringing Key as example here shows you can't separate oranges from apples.

I really wonder where you base this stuff on, it can't be due to your experience in gaming or more specifically playing visual novels, BECAUSE that's just not what you experience playing games of any genre, certainly not visual novels.

You show great ability to determine my experience (based on nothing) but total lack of analysis of the information that this thread provides, so it leads me to think that your interest is either just to refute me or you are desperate for a Harem path.

but methinks you presume a bit too much on all fronts.

And you don't? This is my opinion, take it or leave it, but don't think you are better than me.

Depends on how you play the game my friend it is why I put 'Mom' in quotes.

To alot of people atleast a lot better than reading "your mother died" at the begining of the game... that shit is depressing.

The old "Momica" joke aside, at least your use of "mom" doesn't explicitly look like calling Monica the MC's mother.

Nah, that "a lot of people" just want to play an incest game, which is fair enough. However, this isn't one without a mod that makes extensive changes to make it so. Anyone saying "that's too depressing, so I'll play with Monica as mother!" is just bullshitting.

Almost the same thing happens in the thread for A Mother's Love - People that want it to be an incest game, when it explicitly isn't. Even to the point that there are people wanting the MC's actual mother (alive and well) to become a sex option in game.

I think he nailed it on the head. I imagine you might catch more teasers when cheeky posts if your a lower tier.

On a separate note, I just wanted to say thanks again after seeing the continued support from the majority of you guys here and on patreon while we struggle to slay this troublesome EP17 beast. It is really inspiring for us. I hope you guys find it worth the wait. I tried to dampen my hype a lot with the delay, but I really am looking forward to seeing the reactions to some of the things you guys will get a first look at this EP. Which will hopefully be soon (I've moved onto EP18 writing now while the rest finish putting things together for 17). It's also just the start of this evolution of the game and the future looks very sexy.

Okay so i need to ask how are any of you even getting to chapter 16 when I keep freezing on 8 are you using a different version to mine of something?
