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

[Aakash40]

Can't wait to fuck all of them

 

[blaackstarr]

Haha. Ya, the complexity with the branching does introduce something of an exponential factor that I think even Cheeky underestimated early on, but that usually puts more strain on the writing/coding. Which we are managing alright, but the delay in casting and catching up artists has put the renders behind the writing when we usually try to progress in lock step. We also got ambitious enough to raise the bar a little with our quality given the new talent we have at our disposal, that I hope when you see it will make up for the delay. (I personally am incredibly hyped about it.)

That preview of Monica, she looks the best she has ever looked. And I already liked how she looked, lol.

Oh boy... you have a lot of things to look forward to then.

 

[ScottyLQ]

My only gripe is that the game needs more anal

 

[blahblah25]

I’m just happy that we at least have communication with what’s going on with the game and extremely happy that it’s going to be a longer update compared to the last so I’m good with waiting for the ladies

Is the dev following the footsteps of L&P and DrPinkcake on 3-4 month cycle?

As mentioned previously (* if you back track)- complications this time around as the team lost a member, the substitute bailed without notice & they ended up with a whole new art team. So just an unavoidable spanner in the otherwise smoothly running gears this time around.

Game used to have weekly updates?¿?

Hell no

 

[kino2]

Why won't people read the thread?

 

[Avaron1974]

Why won't people read the thread?

I've seen uploaders, devs and mods put important information directly above the link to download the game in large colourful letters and people still refuse to read it.

There are a few people that come here on a mission to lower the average IQ.

Guys, chill a bit.

Opinions are good and all, but they are like dicks - it's OK to have one; it's OK to be proud of it, but it's not OK to force it on other people. I also don't like waiting but hey, that's the world we live in - good things take time. And yeah - we can't make all people read everything; our brains evolved to extrapolate information with as least details as possible. I prefer 1 release every 6 or so weeks with a lot of material, than a droplet sizes every week, but this is entirely up to personal preferences just like the ladies. Just hope there will be some good action and fun with Katie

Guess folks are getting irritable with the Covid-19 pandemic - all need to take a chill pill every so often, stay safe & wash hands

You are right. And on the plus side, the pandemic brings lockdowns! Game developers will have to stay at home and we should get a lot of updates in the upcoming weeks

As I said in another thread. They are home but so are their families.

Some devs will probably get less work down on their games.

Not everyone gets off unfortunately. Cheeky was swamped with his work helping businesses come up with action plans to deal with "the virus".

What follows is the worst effect of Coronavirus lockdown, extreme boredom.
Also someone was wrong on the internet, damn it.

So, I scavanged both Patreon and the game to gather all the data (dates are dd/mm/yyyy):

Episode #	Release date	Production days	Renders count	Animations count	Lines count
7​	01/10/2018​	-​	170​	0​	2237​
8​	07/11/2018​	37​	205​	1​	2945​
9​	11/01/2019​	65​	179​	3​	2618​
10​	24/02/2019​	44​	208​	8​	3816​
11​	31/03/2019​	34​	189​	6​	3395​
12​	16/05/2019​	46​	359​	14​	4444​
13​	11/07/2019​	56​	296​	12​	4428​
14​	26/08/2019​	46​	279​	15​	4635​
15​	01/11/2019​	67​	362​	16​	6706​
16​	30/12/2019​	59​	294​	9​	7132​
Today​	19/03/2019​	79​

Conclusions:
The game is generally stable in its 45-60 days per update production cycle, with a few outliers here and there (mean value 50,7 days). Meanwhile both the grapichs and the writing more than tripled.

I hereby absolve the accused Cheeky and the team from charges of milking.

 

[P4cc3r5]

Those 79 days include loss of the main artist and onboarding 2 more (of which one was replaced) . S**t happens sometimes & then Covid-19 decides to interject.

Lmao Cheeky is a consultant?

This made me happy.

Hehe. Kinda, but not sure he wants me detailing too much of his personals here. Suffice to say he was so busy that when he told me how little he slept last week, I told him to stop working and go to bed.
