VN Ren'Py Where the Heart Is [S1 v2024-07-10 BETA] [CheekyGimp]

[Deleted member 1571716]

I know the full story. Cheeky commands the ship but I have to know where I'm navigating when I take the helm.

When I say you don't know, it's because it's Cheeky's story and until the last word is written, everything you think you know, could change. Just because the creator of the story tells you the course, doesn't mean the course is always true and if you actually think Cheeky has told you the TRUE course, I pity you. Ahahaha He's not called 'Sneaky Cheeky' for nothing.

I thought it was 5 minimum updates but possibly up to 10 updates before the game was finished. Don't know how long that will take, but I'm certainly not in any hurry to see the game finish. There are still some events that were mentioned that should be in the game.

Jenna's cosplay event where we take her to comic con or whatever.

Wanda and Angel's modeling event. Probably find out more about who Angel's ex was there.

A Monica Zarah threesome. Don't know where or when that will happen. Perhaps a celebration for the magazine shots going well and the business taking off.

The spa event where we take Monica, Katie, Jenna, Lily and Debbie for the weekend.


I'm sure I'm forgetting some if anyone wants to add to this list. So I don't expect nor do I want a quick finish to this game. I'd rather see it drag on a little long than get a rushed ending. One of my favorite games, and I hope they take all the time they need to tie every loose end.

Yeah, the cosplay convention and the spa event have been teased for a long time. I don't think a Monica/Zarah threesome really makes sense, Monica seems to be very committed to monogamy especially considering how unsure she was about being with the MC. The only way I could see a threesome happening is if she gets drunk and then I would fear the repercussions when she sobers up. Even with the hinting at it that has happened it seems out of character for her considering how long it took for the sex to happen.

I didn't know there was a modeling event but I am not interested in either of those women.

The MC also has to go back to Theresa's house. For all those folks who like crazy religious women and the D/S kink.

Feel like there was another event that needed to happen...

Anyway, yeah, they have a lot of ground to cover. Probably going to be another year, at least, before this game concludes (maybe two?). Updates ~3 to 4 months and ~5 more to go, so barring any IRL issues, that's 15-20 months. But that assumes 25 updates and we've been told anywhere from 24 to 26 or however many are needed to finish up. I know I am getting antsy to see the end of the game, not because I want to see the end, rather I want to know what happens with all the fucking around/heartbreak/fallout/will reading...

There are at least 2 somewhat key points in the game where the MC can set the thought into Mon's head about a 3some with Zarah. So, it's possible. In fact, there was a poll about it awhile back on the Patreon. It doesn't affect me, because I'm not on Mon's path. But, I do have a Zarah solo save. When he character was basically kicked to the curb and her looks destroyed, by patron votes a long time back now, I put that save on the back burner. Now that she's somewhat back, I dusted off that save and got it to current.

Yeah, you can mention it to her but that doesn't mean it isn't out of character for her. I hope that the developer's don't make the end of this game into a wish fulfillment fuck fest for their patrons and actually stay true to the story and the characters they've created. From the beginning Monica is unsure of her looks and her attraction to the MC, at no point is it revealed that Monica and Zarah have a physical relationship, and Monica doesn't have any "encourage Lesbianism" moments (at least as far as I can recall). Monica seems very much a character who isn't going to just jump into bed with the MC and another woman, at least not without some drinking and regret.

Obviously, their story and characters so they can do whatever they want. I hope the player can turn down the threesome without it being a big deal. Honestly would love to see them write it that Monica does it and breaks up with the MC because of it. <shrug> All I can do is wait and see.

I personally think they could do something that has never been done before with games on this site. By having the MC propose a threesome and Monica saying sorry I'm not into women and then break up with the MC. I think most people's heads would explode if that happened.

God, I'd love that.

Monica has pushed herself sexually for the MC - she's willing to allow the MC to be her first anal fuck AND allow him to fuck her face (also a first). But adding Zarah to the mix I could see making her question the MC's commitment to her. It's one thing for someone to make "hey, we should try that" comments but it's entirely different to actually do it. Katie having sex with her best friends makes more sense, people are more willing to experiment when they are young, it was with her two best friends, and the MC has been encouraging the lesbianism of both her and Lily for awhile.

And, of course, just my opinion... Don't want people thinking I expect or demand anything. End of the day I'm just along for the ride.

I do know there are some non-canon endings planned, so, there you have it.

While I completely agree with you and I'm also not demanding anything and I don't want to discuss the same stuff we've spoke about in other threads. I really want to see people trying to comprehend the fact that there is a female character in an adult VN that isn't bisexual and has no interest in other women.

It's the same reason why I want someone to make a game where you play as the usual MC with a dead dad that comes home from college and doesn't want to fuck his family and is disgusted by the thought just to see people be completely confused.

LOL, yeah. I would love to see a developer go against expectations and do something different. On the other end of that spectrum I think it would be great if a developer started a game with the MC already in a relationship with his "landlady" who is perhaps pregnant with his kid. Why? Because I love drama (in fiction) and I think it would be a delicious mess for the MC and his "landlady" to deal with...

In this game I have been waiting for the drama to happen for so long that having Monica turn down the idea of a threesome, lecture the MC about how she thought he was only interested in her, and then break up with him (perhaps tossing him out) would be surprising (hella surprising) and, to me, truer to her character than her leaping into bed with Zarah and the MC.

Perhaps a threesome will be a non-canon ending (as posited by Wolfplays) or maybe Monica will suddenly be a lot more willing to share than I expected. <shrug>

A Monica Zarah threesome was hinted at a couple times in Episode 18 I believe. At the fair with Monica she promises to do whatever the MC wants and he can suggest a threesome with Zarah. Monica wasn't against it she simply said Zarah was out of town so that wasn't happening. The next morning after having sex with Monica in Zarah house and possibly Zarah after Monica had left, (I know I did) Monica finds you and Zarah in bed together basically naked. Zarah jokes about Monica lending her the MC for sex. So I wouldn't say it's out of character for Monica, but yes I assume drinking would be involved.

The Wanda and Angel thing happens the morning after the Beach House party with Katie, Debbie and Lily. Wanda calls the MC in the morning and you can meet with her later. She tells you she has a good offer to do another modeling gig, but they want Angel too and she can't get the shoot without her. So she asks the MC help her convince Angel to do the shoot with her.

That's why I hope there is a good writer out there that decides to do a game that is a complete satire of all the common tropes in porn games I personally think it would be a big hit.

I'm the same as you in the sense that I also have no interest in the sex scenes in this game anymore and just want to see the main plot move forward especially finding out who the third person on the will is. I have my three saves of Lily only,Monica only and Katie only and have no interest in sex scenes with other characters and just want to see all the drama to happen.

Zarah jokes about Monica lending her the MC for sex. So I wouldn't say it's out of character for Monica, but yes I assume drinking would be involved.

Hinting isn't the same as committing to, doing, and not regretting. If drinking is involved I don't expect Monica to be super happy when she sobers up. Just don't get the feeling that Monica is huge into sharing at all. If Zarah shared a story of her and Monica having "fun" times after a bottle of wine previously I could understand it better.

People can make sexual jokes all the time, doesn't mean that it leads to having sex. I mean, I suppose I should expect everything to happen because that's what the patrons wanted. Doesn't mean I really believe that Monica, someone who took a lot of time to fuck the MC, would jump at the chance to then share the MC with her business partner.

The Wanda and Angel thing happens the morning after the Beach House party with Katie, Debbie and Lily. Wanda calls the MC in the morning and you can meet with her later. She tells you she has a good offer to do another modeling gig, but they want Angel too and she can't get the shoot without her. So she asks the MC help her convince Angel to do the shoot with her.

Ah, okay. Yeah I don't like Wanda (physically or personality wise) and Angel isn't of much more interest to me so I didn't see that.

That's why I hope there is a good writer out there that decides to do a game that is a complete satire of all the common tropes in porn games I personally think it would be a big hit.

Yeah, it would be nice to see someone twist expectations but honestly I don't think we shall see it. I'm sure it's my bias but to me good writing and porn games rarely intersect, and when they do it isn't consistent. Writing gets sacrificed for pretty visuals and porn logic.

I'm the same as you in the sense that I also have no interest in the sex scenes in this game anymore and just want to see the main plot move forward especially finding out who the third person on the will is. I have my three saves of Lily only,Monica only and Katie only and have no interest in sex scenes with other characters and just want to see all the drama to happen.

Wooot! I'm not the only one!!!

As I've said before, at this point I have seen every combination of dick in hole that I care to see in the game. The only thing left is sharing with the inevitably bisexual women who naturally can't get enough of the MC's magical golden dick. So that means we need to see Monica and Zarah, Angel and Wanda, Debbie and Lily without Katie (if people choose to do that). Then we will also need to see some solo sex with Jenna in cosplay outfit, Theresa in D/S situation, return of Mabel (perhaps), and all of the love interests one more time.
Unfortunately waiting for the drama to happen is all I have left. And I want that to be like a nuke going off, reshaping the landscape of the relationships based on how many women the MC has been fucking... But the longer it takes for the drama to happen the smaller the explosion I expect to see.

Love the story, love the women, just want to see what happens next.

Not doing shit with Angel. Wanda solo. Angel not needed.

Sadly your right and the few games that do have really good writing end up not getting anywhere near the same support as the ones that have nice looking renders and a bunch of sex scenes.

Wooot! I'm not the only one!!!

Yeah there's two of us . I just want to see that drama when the MC's man whoring ways (if you play that way) finally catch up to him and completely explode in front of him.

 

[MrFriendly]

Sadly your right and the few games that do have really good writing end up not getting anywhere near the same support as the ones that have nice looking renders and a bunch of sex scenes.

End of the day the fact remains that the perverts on this site (and the internet in general) want two things: 1) fap material and 2) cat videos (I guess a subcategory to both would be neko porn). Only a handful of us want well written fap material and grumpy cat videos... Is there grumpy neko porn?

Anyway... Point remains that very few people care why the copy repair man is there, they just want him to pull out his giant magical dick and fuck the secretary until the "jam is cleared".

Yeah there's two of us . I just want to see that drama when the MC's man whoring ways (if you play that way) finally catch up to him and completely explode in front of him.

There are so few games that ever have drama, everything is lovey dovey harems of super happy women who love sharing the manslut's magical overflowing dick. Hope that we receive some satisfaction from the end of this game when all of the women ghost the MC after they find out he's been fucking them all.

Try The Deluca Family. Great story at least in my opinion. Not filled with sex in fact very little to this point. I'm not sure why you are surpised that games with a lot of sex do well on here. Most people only come here for the sex scenes. I am not one of those people I enjoy a good story as well which I think Where the Heart Is has, as well as plenty of sex. Don't forget it took a long time to get any of the main characters into bed in this game. Now we are simply reaping all the benefits of our hard work.

Yeah there's two of us . I just want to see that drama when the MC's man whoring ways (if you play that way) finally catch up to him and completely explode in front of him.

Well you two are never going to see all the drama since you don't play the man whore route. So you will miss out on all the fun except on here where people come to complain that the devs took their harem away. I won't be complaining I'm expecting it, but I will enjoy the ride or many rides as long as I can. You miss out on a lot of content by limiting yourself to only one or two women. Frankly I believe I'm playing the game the way it was intended to be played. Why else would they put the start at any episode feature in where you can change who you're romancing. It was all for me and I love them for it!

I'm with you on that. I have 2 main and 1 side solo saves, several solo beta testing saves and a man whore beta testing saves and I am definitely ready to see all the whining and bitching drama that will happen from all the man whores. Ahahaha

 

[acewinz]

When I say you don't know, it's because it's Cheeky's story and until the last word is written, everything you think you know, could change. Just because the creator of the story tells you the course, doesn't mean the course is always true and if you actually think Cheeky has told you the TRUE course, I pity you. Ahahaha He's not called 'Sneaky Cheeky' for nothing.

Haha, you have a point that it was posted way back when this thing was just getting going that Cheeky considered adding incest in the end. Which is the opposite of what he always told us.

 

[majgustavo98]

Where is the episode 20 update?

I tried the Deluca family and I liked it but my problem was I only liked Luna and from what I remember it seemed to be going down the forced harem route so I stopped playing though it's been a while since I played it. I'm not really surprised that most people only play for the sex scenes but I am disappointed that they have such a focus since I really like the writing of this game and like I said to Mr Friendly the sex scenes bore me now and I just want to see the main plot.

Well you two are never going to see all the drama since you don't play the man whore route.

It was all for me and I love them for it!

Reading all the crying and bitching on the forums is all I'm waiting for I can't wait for that to happen. The reason I love the quick start feature is because when the drama finally explodes I can just start from the episode it happens and not have to play as a man whore from the beginning and feel like a massive arsehole having a save for it.
