VN Ren'Py Where the Heart Is [S1 v2024-09-06 BETA] [CheekyGimp]

Heh, if you don't like something in the dialogue, just modify it. I do it sometimes in games if a scene is not kinky enough for me or I just don't like some part of dialogue or backstory Or I want to replay the game with something new. Like I made the last Katie scene in the latest episode a bit longer and spiced it with some dirty talk, because it felt a bit short to me. Or when I sometimes modify the incest part out of some game, or change "landlady" and "roommate" to something else, and so on. Just dl ren'py and Atom and watch some tutprial on youtube. And typos and errors can be immersion breaking sometimes, but not too much if they aren't in every second sentence. In WTHI there are just a few overall. I made plenty of them when typing this on a smart phone.

I disagree that the writing is getting worse or that it was bad to start.

However, the grammar in WTHI is a bit unusual. Exclamations are abundant! Almost everything is exciting! But sometimes that's not enough ... An ellipsis brings home the point with a bang! Also ... Interjections!

This definitely impacts the feel of the writing. I think sometimes characters lose their voice a bit and speak too similarly to one another. The grammar probably contributes to this.

But it's not bad. It just has its own flavor. It's not what I would expect from a book, but it doesn't detract from the game. In fact, it suits the game's vibe. The style seems comfortable for the writer, too. I wouldn't want more professional writing at the expensive of productivity. And, uh, if a professional writer is simply someone who gets paid for writing, then by definition CG is a professional. Heh.

Overall the writing is great for a porn game. I can tell there is effort to maintain characterization, which includes the dialogue. The conversations move things along and are often funny. Episodic games like this don't have the benefit of being carefully edited and crafted together into a book, yet the writing in WTHI maintains a consistently high level of quality.

First of all, I have to say that I absolutely love this game. The characters, story, and art are all wonderful. I tend to like to play games like this by focusing on one main love interest, then playing again to look at another. It's just a personal preference. Playthroughs with "I got serious with the mother, the daughter, the other daughter, the daughter's best friend, the sexy neighbor, and the robot maid" take away from the immersion in the reality of the story for me.

I've noticed in this game that, depending upon the woman, it can be hard to get a high friendship without going for romance/lust as well, plus there are decision points that you can't explore without having a high enough relationship. This seems especially true with Monica.

Can anyone suggest a way to get past that (other than cheating)?

Alright, so I tried searching and I didn't see anything. Just now playing episode 11 and according to the walkthrough I'm supposed to get a scene after telling Monica that I'd do the modeling thing for her with Angel, but it just skips on to the one after and I go to Jenna's scene. Am I doing something wrong where I would miss it for some reason? I played the whole update from there and it never happened and it's telling me I missed a whole bunch of points with Angel.

 

[Ignatz]

I can't really tell you what you may have done wrong, but I can confirm the scene about volunteering exists. I know there was a second pretty long engagement with Angel at some point, but I can't recall which episode. Perhaps you missed that?

It's nearly possible to max out both stats. There are a few choices that will make you choose either a relationship or lust point, but overall, you should be able to get these scores:

So your options become:

• Use a walkthrough. I typically play without it and then go back and replay with the walkthough if I didn't manage to max out scores on my own
• Use a mod. Maim Lain provides a really nice mod that highlights the best responses
• Pay closer attention to the dialogue. CheekyGimp has done a great job of characterizations and it should be possible to figure out which are the best responses for each character based on their personalities. For example, Katie is a smartass who is slowly thawing to love, Zarah is a dirty slut who wants to be appreciated, Jenna is a shy mouse who is quickly leaving her shell and becoming more bold (and horny!), and Monica is a loving, proper woman who is slowly seeing the walls around her sexual side come down.

Good luck!

It's my own fault, I misread the walkthrough. I told Zarah to screw off since she's not an interest to me, but I have to go see her if I want to see Angel lol.

Is it possible in this game to avoid content with mature women? Just like skip as possible, and leave only content with young girls?

yes

Yes... I didn't start Zarah and Monica's route in my second playthrough

 

[Ignatz]

No Monica?!? Good gosh! Heresy!

 

[Pitrik]

No Monica?!? Good gosh! Heresy!

Only in my second playthrough.. In my first I did Monica's path... Only after I discovered that I don't like her so much... Yes, nice body etc... but I prefer other milfs like the mom Susan in Sisterly Lust or Linda in Milfy City ... My full attention in this game is for Katie principally and after her sister and her 2 best friends... I like more young girls near my age

 

[Ignatz]

Heh. It's all good. I'm sure it's why Cheeky put so many different types of women in the game. to allow personal tastes to pursue those you like best. I happen to like Monica's looks and her increasingly saucy personality. It's a non-standard development, in that you are not corrupting her, merely releasing her.

I especially appreciate the whole drinking-to-get-her-loose thing was discarded - another plus for the dev, as it basically shows a more natural growth for the character...she used to be a fun-loving (and wild?) woman who just bottled it all up. And now...

At the beginning in orig version it is hard to avoid all romantic talk, but you can skip the serious relationship portions if you wish. After a few episodes it will skip that content based on your earlier choices... My invasive mod altered some of that earlier content to be even more avoidable.

Speaking of my mod, for those who are interested in it I have just finished making incest changes to episode 10 as I wait for EP 12 to be released... Who knows I might even get EP 11 partially or fully done before it comes out. I can't wait to hear what you all think of the scenes I done for the upcoming release. (Anyone have a whip I can borrow to use on Cheeky? )

 

[MrDL]

It took me a bit to warm up to Monica because it was so rare to see a mother who actually looks close to being the age for having a couple grown children, I think it was the picnic where she grew on me and became a priority.
