Her Heart’s Desire – Harem Ever After: Remake [v1.5 Beta] [Big Chungus Productions]

November 25, 2024F95

A struggling writer, you just managed to sell a book for enough money to afford a house.
Life in the suburbs promised to be everything you dreamed of in the city: more space, quieter, and
maybe without roommates, it was time to kick start your love life. At thirty-four, you weren’t getting any younger.
Everything changed when a young college student responded to your advertisement to sublet one of the open bedrooms.
She was blonde, eighteen, and as you quickly discovered, had a secret desire. As her landlord, you have time and
feel obligated to help her pursue her fantasies, however depraved they might be. After all, when you thought about
kick-starting your love life again, you never imagined it could be so…fulfilling.

v1.4 Beta

517 new images including Daisy, Rose, Lily, and a new character (to the beta) in her second job
Multiple new locations that were never featured in the original game
39 new sound effects & music tracks, bringing the total to 310+ audio files (far more than the previous production game)
15 brand new animations

Audio, image, and other bug fixes from the beginning of the beta through to the newest content, with a few dozen edits overall.
Updated Sept 29th with multiple spelling and grammar issues from reports on Discord & multiple forums.

v1.3 Beta

I’ve got work on the new Horny Holiday expansion coming up this weekend, so instead of making you wait extra, I’m going to ship the 1.3 beta today and we’ll have the beta 1.4 next month toward the end of September, between the 22nd and 29th.

To see the release notes for the 1.2 beta edition, read this post on here on Patreon (also public like this one). Now, what’s in this update?

Six thousand words of new story, bringing the total to about 41 thousand, six hundred words – we’re now over a third of the way done, and some portions in the later updates should be faster as they’ll have less rework, I think.
297 new images (some are remakes from the current production edition, some are brand new).
14 brand new animations (13 of those are a remake of the previous Jen + MC scene in the bathroom) one is a surprise as part of a scene that was not in the current edition
31 new music and sound effects files, which brings the total to 276 – finally, more audio than anything else I’ve ever done. I’m particularly proud of this one.
At least one spelling and grammar fix from the previous 1.2, and hopefully less bugs than last time 😉
Updated on August 17th with multiple spelling issues and one bug fix.

v1.08 Harem Ever After – Patreon Edition

Three new fully animated scenes, with more than 26 animations, some with 30, 40, or even 60 frames – yeah, I tried to push things & improve in that area too.

Twenty plus new renders in my latest visual style, a significant upgrade to the previous styling in the game.

43 scenes in the replay feature, now when replaying a scene you can experience every scene the same way as it happened in the game.

Rewritten introduction, multiple other scenes as well, for clarity and quality.

Compressed animations to shrink the game footprint from 7.7 gigabytes to just over 5 gigs; this includes the new content as well.

Added character label & italics to all the lines where the main character was thinking, but it didn’t have a label.

Reworked sounds, the man laughing in particular, as well as others that didn’t have the same high quality as the remainder.

Customization has been simplified, enabling people who don’t want to customize all the text to skip many questions in the game & focus on the story. Also, this feature has been improved to lay the foundation for (maybe) eventual localization into other languages…but that’s for later, it’s still English only for this update.

Added – bug fix for the scene replay from the latest changes, as well as a beta version of European Spanish and Simplified Chinese.

New Sept 5th bug fix for the individual endings with Daisy (screen issue missing), Lily (poor design on my part) and I believe Rose as well. Also adjusted the volume of the heartbeat sound effect to make it softer since it was a little too loud.

New Sept 24th, French language and Traditional Chinese language added via machine translation.

New Sept 28th fixed multiple bugs and experience issues with the rename feature that ensures you can modify Lily or Rose’s names.

New added translations for Italian, Russian, Turkish, Portuguese, and Dutch.

New Sept 30th fixed a dialogue issue on day 3 evening, also fixed another personalization bug with the character name & relationship edit feature.

Dec 8th two spelling fixes and conversion to video for most animation.

v1.06 Audio Edition

A rich, detailed story line to explore with choices that influence the story
- More than 101,000 words of text in the current edition, more than a full length novel.
Crisp, beautiful images rendered in glorious HD
- 3,600+ full HD images in the game – so far.
Music and sound effects that deepen the experience in game
- 120+ music tracks & sound effects.
30FPS animations – both adult and nonadult
- 32 fully animated adult scenes with 340+ unique animations with erotic sound effects that enhance the experience, easily accessible from the Replay feature. 29 in the main game, and 3 in the bonus section.
Fetishes / tags – F solo, M/F, M/F/F, F/F, F/F/F, lesbian, oral, harem, vaginal, anal, group, squirt, toys, voyeurism, spanking, domination, corruption, humor, first person POV, pregnancy.
Audio edition update notes
Image transitions for the first act – previously, I was using “with dissolve,” only on all the images, but I’ve added some zoom, and other effects, for new images. In particular, these are great for scenes where the dialogue or text emphasizes the character is looking at a specific place…now, the camera zooms in as well. It’s awesome.
35+ new audio effects throughout the first act, from the beginning of the game to the first night with Rose & Lily in MC’s house where a knock at the door signals the start of the next scene, and the last of the image + audio transitions.
Bug fixes for nicknames – I’m not 100% certain this is fixed, but there was a massive issue early in the game that destroyed these variables, those have been fixed.
At least two different lighter animations early in the game had the wrong images showing, those have been addressed.
Other smaller spelling, grammar, other fixes as well.

v1.05

There was in a previous edition a scene with Chef Naomi and Rose, while the other characters watched. It’s back in the bonus edition, and if the MC chooses, he can skip going back home with the other tenants and have a lot of fun with Naomi & Rose. 20 new images and over 20 animations.
Lois the bartender never got any love with the MC either; in this edition, in the bonus scene you can skip going back home after the date with Elizabeth, and keep flirting. 33 new images, and 14 animations.
Vanessa and Sara, the two baristas in the coffee shop, kissed in front of the MC in the previous edition, but now, there’s a whole new threesome scene with them. 25 new images, and 17 new animations.
The harem ending with Dee, Lily, and Rose has been updated & expanded with 3 new images, and 9 new animations.
For the new scenes, I had to mix new audio, so there are now 7 additional sound effects to accompany the new scenes above.
Revamped the left menu, replacing the Replay & Gallery links with a single link that points to a combined page for Replay or Bonus content; this way, it’s easier to navigate to your favorite characters to see their bonus content – or in the case of the three tenants, the slide shows that seem hard for some people to find.
Tricia library scene with MC has multiple improved animations which were made by combining existing loops where the start frame was the same; it’s improved compared to before, and plays much, much better.
Lily & MC hotel scene near the end on day 6 also had improvements in multiple animations, resulting in longer, more interesting, and smoother movement. This was the same technique as the expansion & upgrade to the animations with Tricia in the library scene.
Other miscellaneous two frame and other animation fixes in multiple places in th game.
Last but not least, more story, with an additional five thousand words in the various new scenes.

v1.0

Remastered all the audio, in every adult replay scene;
Adds 69 new static images (believe it or not, wasn’t planned I’d hit that number, but when you’re on a roll, you’re on a roll, right?)
Completes the Harem ending, and bumps the version number to 1.0
Updated title screen, removed the Patreon link back (I figure ya’ll can find me…or not? We’ll see).
554 new frames of animation, it’s probably like 10 to 20 somewhere in there in the game, I didn’t count. Sorry not sorry.
Total game now has 95K words, a decent sized novel, for all the shenanigans.

v0.24

Day 6 evening, again with Lily, and depending on love scores, you might get the first ending, with Lily. There’s a special animated scene with more customization than usual, and more animations than most scenes.
Day 7 morning…there are branches here, and depending on love scores, attention you’ve given to one house guest or another, you might land on the Rose Ending, also included in this update.
Day 7 morning…maybe you’ve had your eyes on not one, or two, but ALL the house guests. I’d be lying if I said this was not my favorite option. For this path, you’ll get a new scene in the morning, where both Lily and Rose help MC get to the finish, as only two house guests can. Lots of animation in this one, though only on act with all three.
Story, continued same sound effects as before (have spent a limited amount of time into understanding how I could make these even better, which I’d like to do, probably in the update or two).
36 static images, 3 fully animated scenes, all of which are in the reply gallery. Two of the 3 scenes are the endings with the two love interests, Rose & Lily.
Updated Sept 10th with new Ren’py code to help with image lag, stutter, and performance; hopefully that’s a big improvement…and a bonus sneak peak of the harem ending with all three love interests, another fully animated scene with ~8 animations, also in the replay gallery.
In total then, this update has *four* new scenes in the Replay feature, the most I think I’ve ever added in a single update, since this was largely focused on animations, not more static content.

v0.23

Day 6 lunch, starts with the end of the cafe scene; The update is around Lily and MC, with many heartfelt conversations between MC, Dee, Rose, and Lily.

The end of the update depending on choices will be a new fully animated scene with Lily & MC in the same hotel as Dee + MC were in previously (her request in game). From there, I’ve got hints about what happens in the next two updates.

127 new full HD renders
Lily & MC animated scene added to the gallery
279 frames of animation (more than 10 animations in game)
Updated Sept 10th with new Ren’py code to help with image lag, stutter, and performance; hopefully that’s a big improvement.

v0.22 fixed 2

In the .24 release notes, updated with the details of what I tried today. Seems to work better I think? Now (again) porting back to the .23, and then .22.

And now those changes are live in the .23 and the .22 versions, here and on Itch. From what I can tell maybe better? I’ve read good things, would love to hear your experience.

Original (now is there egg on my face ironic) post:

I *think* the performance issues have gone away, the game took a little blue pill, and poof! Everything works.

Nah, what happened was I added the Ren’py feature to limit game RAM to ~256 megabytes, which is more than enough for any given scene to fully load in memory & more, while at the same time, not trying to take *all* the RAM that the game could take from the system.

Get the updated links in the various posts here, or from Itch, etc.

Have a good one, and do lemme know after you give it a go, how it goes 😉

Cheers,

Brosef Chungus

v0.22 fixed
Happy Friday, .22, .23, and .24 updated with memory management
