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

[Harlaw]

It would be counterintuitive, Donald with the power he had would never allow Therese to be the golddigger. He was able to create problems for Mc's mother as he could not create problems for a weak one like Therese?
I may also be wrong, but I do not consider it real, even if sometimes reality surpasses fantasy

Yeah, I think that's just a misdirection. At this point I am certain that the third claimant is Bella, even if it's a bit on the nose. The whole game is littered with subtle and not so subtle references to Bella being the third claimant.

I know some people say that it's so obvious that it can't be her, but I disagree. Big reveals don't always have to make you go "Holy Shit! I did not see that coming", sometimes they can just be "Hmm. In hindsight this makes perfect sense". I'd say that's a whole lot better than having your "expectations subverted".

Also, the gold digger (the one who knows the conditions of all 3 claimants and sent the email to Monica) can not be anyone other than either Bella or Elaine because...

I have never thought it was anyone other than Bella, she has always been shady to me. I think the main reason there are so many theories is all the red herrings and the fact that we habe been waiting to find out who the 3rd is for a very long time now so doubts and second thoughts have had time to fester.

I am excited for the.next episode since we should be able to finally talk to Eliane and clear the air on some things.

Yeah I also believe that Bella is a gold digger. She is suspicious to the point that I can't belive that MC never thought that she is Dizzy. Evidences are everywere: she is bad with money, she has no problem spying on her sister which is betreyal so having sex with Donald shouldn't be surprising at all. Also Donald could be charming if he wanted to be, Zarah is perfect example( I think that he is guy she had spoken about) he said to her everything she wanted to hear and it worked until she learned that he has girlfriend and another lover. Theresa is another example although she hates him now, when she was young she was most likely completely smitten by him and Dogboy is most likely his son. If that is true then MC should get few millions for that fact alone. After all having such a brother can be traumatizing

just as a tip i know what you where going for in the look but you might want to change the color a bit as this looks like she sat in some coffee or something.

I'd also speculate that her condition is to have MC give her the beach house. While Eleine condition is to have MC give her the main house. They both seem very obsessed by the respective houses and bella coming to the beach house in the last chapter smells of scheming. She might want to make it look like she is living there or something.

I actually kinda like that bikini, but that was a bit of an unfortunate placement for that particular shading. In the end when we redo all the early images chances are we will use a different everything.

I think Bella's condition is to give birth to the user's kid. She extremely pushy when it comes to sex. Never mentions being on any birth control to the point the user ponders it too. Constantly tells the user she's in love with him. Having a child is usually seen as the biggest indicator of love.

The insane amount of satifaction i get from leaving Bella out cold in the rain.

If you don't bang here though she's 100% cool. She keep trying a bit but not in a desperate or insisting way. I wouldn't think this is the condition.

i really like the bikini as is though as you said the color and placement is unfortunate. a small color change might be all it needs

 

[AngelsAfterDark]

This is something I just can't understand. If you are that thirsty for adult scenes... there are way better options than watching animations in a VN that cannot even remotely compete with the actual thing you can easily find elsewhere. Also, in a good game the scenes only unfold their full impact because of the build-up, the story and the way characters are portrayed, watched in isolation the scenes are just meaningless acrobatics.

Lol seriously man I can never understand why anyone would play these games to jerk off when there's literally liabries of free real porn that caters to all the fetishes u can probably think of. What's even worse is when people complain about lack of sex or nudity scenes in a story driven visuel novel, like do they not know the meaning of "story driven"?

 

[junjunjey]

Katie and Bella really strike my personal visual preference. They're some of the most beautiful characters I saw from these VNs... but at the same time Monica and Zarah are some of the ugliest fuckable characters I encountered (granted I barely played less than 20 adult VNs so far), something is just really off with Monica in my eyes (protruding jaw, strange mouth overall, thick nasolabial folds, strange body curvature). I also wish I never proceeded to have the relationship with Zarah especially with the short blond hair. I'm normally into MILF but despite the good story with Monica her looks just prevent me from liking her as romantic partner for my character. Elaine on the other hand is a MILF I approve visually speaking.

So I'd like to ask... is it possible to NOT start any romantic relationship with both Monica and Zarah at all while still be on friendly terms with them?

The insane amount of satifaction i get from leaving Bella out cold in the rain.

man that's cruel, I cant do that. not even in the game.... but I the mc does go too easy on her, its not like the blond would object him having them both on a leash.
at this point those 2 should be 100% focused on making the MC happy so he keeps them, some of the other girls seem to have a clear ide of the benefits of having a man, some are a bit lost still...
but this has all the good this to a proper harem , both the "moms" not really that interesting.
the model girl one of my favorites 100% keeper, the big sister was a lot of work it would be a big lost hope she starts accepting to share with other girls not just the friends, but also sister , and ideally who ever her "Owner decides!"

all but the "lies" are a bit much, but still the patch where she breaks up with the mc, for someone that popped her cherry, what a bitch !!! Jesus!!!

she could break up with the Mc for like 5 min then come back and be a sex slave, that would be nice.

It's easily possible with Monica, just keep things platonic. Zarah's a bit trickier. You can turn down her advances and be relatively civil when you see her, but you'll almost never see her. If you try to show her sympathy on those occasions you do see her, Zarah will usually try to make things sexual (house-sitting for her in Episode 18 being the most egregious example).

I realised that I have developed this kink whereby overly beautiful characters, too much like instagram divas with overly edited photos, tend to please me less than 'realistically uglier' characters

in this game the only characters with an excessively photographic beauty are probably Jolina (who looks like something out of the centrefold of playboy), Theresa and to some extent Bella (whose crazy eyes however bring her back into the ordinary mortals)

Zara has the flaw of showing all the years she has and maybe a few more, also Elaine is not really one to wear her years well

Monica gets off to a bad start, but in the last chapters it seems to me that the cure has worked

Is dev on a break? Looks to me that there hasn't been any news for a month. Don't know about Twitter though, I refuse to make a Twitter account just to see beyond the first two messages.

Cheeky's day job has him abroad fixing shit for clients atm, but before he flew out we let our QC crew loose on roughly 75%ish of the update. When he gets back home we will cobble together what is left and do a bit more testing before releasing what will probably be our most anticipated update since the beach house orgy.

Release should be in early-mid Sept, which is what we figured.

What's even worse is when people complain about lack of story in an erotic visual novel, like do they not know the meaning of "erotic"?

Absolutely. Be nice yet do not make any move not accept avances. Monica will still stick to you like a leech for the early chapters and even in that fucking carnival sequence in the chapter 18, but that's it. Decent friendly term with both of them. Ok, Zarah will always play the cougar, but in a very nice and decent way.
