VN Ren'Py Where the Heart Is [Season 1 Beta] [CheekyGimp]

[qudwls02]

This game always makes me feel super lucky bastard. I know MC is super handsome and super sweet that's makes sense but still. Flirting and banging bunch of smutty girls like other porn games are easy and nothing special about it(and If that's difficult that just makes you annoying just like in real life) but these girls in this game are extremely special. Not just their body but mentally too. They are more than a family to MC and they are loyal and chastity like noble princesses. even they act like they aren't because they think that's not that cool but that's just obvious. It's like these girls are rightfully deserves special treat and special love. That makes me feel so passionate. I'm sure that dev must be understands human psychology very well. Really great job.

Too much incest games here! Yes, I love them but this game is perfect without

I couldn't agree more otherwise we would just have copies of copies it was like George Lucas tinkering with Star Wars some was good but a lot of it bad, don't mess with success!

 

[CheekyGimp]

Cheeky,the pacing is perfect.Everything feels like it progresses naturally.Much of it is thanks to your(and your team(not sure if you are doing it alone or not ) ) effort and commitment to quality content with every update(which thank god are the very definition of REGULAR ).But there is one tiny weeny bit that is kind of bugging me.Lets say that in one of the playthroughs you are juggling between girls(not me though since...well Katie you know ).The question is this:How long will it take them to catch on to your(or better said MCS) not so honest ways.Will such consequences come in in the next few updates or will you hold off on them for now?(for a specific one one everything burns in nuclear fire )

And I feel your ego definitely is not fed well enough so here it is:FANTASTIC FUCKING JOB!!!!!!!!

Thanks. I want to make it progressively more difficult for the MC to keep up a balancing act. And I do want to have consequences if he fails. But I can't give away the consequences or what episode it will happen. Where's the fun in that...

 

[CheekyGimp]

Hmmm... Nah. This kind of recycling is bad for the planet. if anyone wants to see an old sex scene they can just load up an old save. I mean i guess if it wasn't too blatant it could work but if it wasn't planned for the story it could just end up feeling out of place and kinda shoehorned in there. Just my opinion but you haven't let us down before so i bow to your superior storytelling skills and am fully prepared to be blown away if you make it work. Just don't go feeling obliged to shove anything in to keep the fans happy. We're happy enough.

Thanks. I don't want the game to have sex in every scene (I know that will have some people cursing me). So each episode there will be sex scenes (with progression / different scenarios, etc.).


If the MC visited someone that they've previously had sex with (say Bella for example). And she wasn't one of the "featured"/"new" sex scene girls this episode. But the MC needs to visit her for plot progression....
I wasn't sure if it would make sense for the MC to leave without sex (would people think - he's been banging this chick and today he just leaves her with a kiss - WTF??) or whether to play out the new scene (non sexual) and finish with a recycled sex scene. My preference (and that of the team) is no sex but it's always good to get some consumer input....

 

[CheekyGimp]

If the "no new sex scenes planned for this episode" is due to not being able to render the images in time for the release, then reusing old renders could work as a placeholder.
But if "no new sex scenes planned for this episode" is because the sex scenes aren't meant to take place in this episode/update, then reusing old renders just to have a sex scene is rather unnecessary.

Thanks. And just to clarify - I'm not saying there'll be less new sex in this episode. Just wondering if we want to supplement the new sex with additional recycled sex. All of the inputs so far are confirming what the team are already aligned on. So it looks like we have our answer but feel free to keep your opinions coming in. It's great to get a feel for what people like.

There is no need for sex in every scene, there has to be story too. One of the main reasons why I like this game is the writing.

 

[jamdan]

You know this is a quality game when people are saying there doesn't need to be sex in every scene, in an adult game of all the things.

I do agree with that though, it isn't necessary to have sex in every scene or even every update. Good story progression is always great.

Perfectly understandable.Take your sweet time developing the consequences part.I did get a little bit ahead of myself with that post,but knowing that proverbial shit can hit the fan in any moment is good enough for me.This is where most VN's I played failed with regards to "realistic" actions/consequences bit,and I dont wish to see this happening with this slice of perfection.Thanks for the clarification and have a good day sir. 8)

Mc fucks everything that walks.. It could be cut down a bit.. I mean shit ... everybody.. same some for dessert at least!

Not tellin' ya how to do your stuff man! Great game keep it up! But If the Mc was human he would be in ICU or the clinic for STD's more than likely>>

What drew me into the game was the dialogue and relationships developing between the MC and the women. So yeah, for what its worth, my view is a firm "No" to recycled sex scenes and/or gratuitous sex that doesn't fit the story. A gallery of sorts to replay scenes would be a good addition though i.m.o.

 

[Meridian]

Fair Point, Well made.
Have you Enjoyed the VN With the Incest patch? Or played the V nila only?
INHO its considerable Better With.

I prefer vanilla. I started playing this game right after it came out so I kind of was already emotionally invested in non-incest version of characters by the time incest mod was made.

Lain already has a gallery mod for this; I believe BadSisterFucker is working on another.

Please give the MC the option to kick Elaine to the curb when the game is all done same as she did to the MC

You know you can be a dick to her, the options are there.

 

[Karabonga]

I know but I would like to have a choice to kick her out of the house if the mc gets it

 

[Skylaroo]

I wasn't sure if it would make sense for the MC to leave without sex (would people think - he's been banging this chick and today he just leaves her with a kiss - WTF??)

I wouldn't think that way. Let's be real, just because a guy has had sex with his girlfriend, doesn't mean that they always have to have sex every time they met. To me, sex scenes need to be purposeful. Though it is an adult game, sometimes I am a bit turned off by games that have MC having sex 6 times with 6 different girls in 1 day just because they've had sex before.

 

[Oriandu]

Looking for your inputs:
Latest episode will obviously contain new sex scenes / further sexual progression with some of the characters. However to keep the plot progressing the MC will also interact with a couple of characters where there are no new sex scenes planned for this episode.
Unfortunately we cannot create all the images, etc. for sex scenes with (for example) 6 or 7 females in a single episode, so my question is this......
If the MC is interacting with a particular character for whom no new sex scenes is planned in this episode, would you prefer that the MC just walks away with no sex or we still give a sexual option and just have a repeated sexual encounter/ visuals using existing images from a previous episode ? (build-up & dialog would obviously be different).
What's the preference?

Don't pad the game. You don't always have to have sex with every character who appears in a chapter just because you had sex with them previously. Recycling past scenes is just pointless padding and you'd be better off not including it than including it.

Fair enough... thats ur pref so thats cool man.

Why would you want to do that? she made a mistake with how she treated the MC due to the Dad being an asshole let Elaine make it up to us

 

[Skylaroo]

Technically, we don't know whether she legit made a mistake, or she's still a bitch who lied to us by pretending to be nice now. It's very possible her will condition is to make MC trust her. Remember that she was still nasty to MC after dad's death, and turned into nice after the will was read by the lawyer. It can be coincidental, but it'd also make sense if her change of behavior is caused by the will.
