Her Heart's Desire: A Landlord Epic news & patch notes

Hey all-

I'm working on the next update for later this month and the first scene I've finished is a date with Daisy and Chad where they celebrate Axe Throwing and Rose wine day. That's today, June 13th, something I just learned today.

With that in mind, I wanted to share a few preview images below, hope you have a good one, and I'll have another update later this month with the full scene as an update to the expansion section of the game.

Cheers,

Brosef

Hey there, I've got some awesome news.

The expansion I was working on and off building over the last six months is finally ready. That means we've got the following updates to the game.

• Five new scenes with a bit of new story, animations, sounds, and of course, sexy times with the cast.

• A different oceanside dinner with MC, Daisy, and Vanessa

• A new scene with MC, Lily, and Sara after Lilly and MC have lunch at the cafe

• A scene with MC and Sara together at the coffee shop

• A scene with MC, Rose, and Lily at the same hotel as before in new positions

• A scene with MC and Naomi, while Rose watches and does not participate

• In total we've got 189 new images and 120 animations as well as around 3,000 words in this expansion.

Once you've installed this version 2.2 the extension link should be in the left side menu, and it'll also be the 6th page in the Replay if you use that link in the menu.

Cheers,

Brosef

Hey all-

I've got a whole lot of changes, improvements, and additions to Her Heart's Desire today.

• Updated Rose & MC scene in the backyard, with 11 new animations - there was some feedback about not being able to finish inside in the previous version of these, and I think the new versions are much better.

• Replaced the scene with MC & Daisy at Fat Burger, their first visit, with new renders + writing.

• Updated prologue scenes with new / better audio.

• Shrank the core story from 146,000+ words down to 126,700 words - saving almost 20,000 of the MC thinking - the story was better off without the extra narration, and the pacing has improved dramatically as a result.

• Some new images in other scenes, various Photoshop updates, one scene modified entirely through Color RAW, but there are some side effects, so it's just the scene with MC, Daisy, and Vanessa at sunset.

• A few animations refactored for various reasons in some scenes to hopefully make them better.

• Optimized existing audio assets to shrink the total game size, and also added new / improved audio in many scenes.

• Added a new machine translation for German, by request.

Cheers,

Brosef

Hey all-

Based on the Steam achievement stats and regular questions, it seems like only a small number of people ever complete all the endings in the game.

So, I thought I'd add a new feature. If you finish the game, you get a new menu that shows you choices to select the other good endings in the game.

There were also some small other issues that were fixed in this build as well, and some videos were optimized to shrink the size of the game.

Cheers,

Brosef

Hey there, Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

I wanted to share a special image set I made to celebrate the season. If there's interest, I might turn this image set into a scene for a future holiday special / DLC for the game.

• Five good endings - one each with Daisy, Lily, and Rose, a harem ending, and the new Man About Town Ending
• 146,000 words of story - almost 13,000 more than the previous 1.99 update.
• 743 animations in total; that's more than 200 over the 1.99 update.
• 5,394 images - considering the original game had only 3,600 images, it's a nice jump.
• 4 new music files in this edition, 1 new sound effect, bringing the total number of audio files to 463
• 40 scenes in the replay gallery - this is actually more unique scenes than the previous game, the gallery now for many scenes has a single replay and the in the scene you can choose the options for what parts to experience
• About 8 or so images updated with various bugs from earlier in the game (Lily when she first arrives at the house had some flaws in her shirt, as well as Elizabeth the first time MC sees her in the office).
• A brand new game ending for each of the five endings, not found in the previous edition of the game nor the previous 1.99 version - I'm happy with how this turned out, and I hope you enjoy it as well.
• New game icons included swapping the gorilla head with an icon of Daisy to better reflect the game content.

• 19,000 words of story
• Hundreds of new images in multiple scenes and game endings.
• Two new endings "Finished," Man About Town (new) and the Harem (from the old edition of the game)
• Dozens of new animations including the remade scene with MC & Lois in the Man About Town ending (19 animations), the scene with MC, Elizabeth, and Tricia has all new animation (23 animations), the scene with MC, Sara, and Vanessa has some new animation as well (8 new animations), and of course, there's all the other animation that was improved to color match the visual style of the remake.
• Ten new sound effects + music files.
• Fixes to the early game overs to ensure you can resume playing as if you'd made one of the better choices in the game to ensure you don't have to restart from the beginning.
• Rewritten scenes from the older game to update the script, decrease the excessive repetition, and hopefully make everything better.
• What's not included yet: The solo Dee & MC ending, the solo Rose & MC ending, at least one scene from the MC + Lily ending, and some story scene(s) that will be added to the game that are brand new & were never included in the older edition of the game. After those are all done, I'll be doing the machine translations into all the languages as well.

• 6,500 words of new story across three scenes with multiple versions, depending on which path you're on (Daisy, Lily, Rose, Harem, or Man About Town)
• 425 brand new images, with Daisy, Rose, Lily, and Lois making an appearance in this episode
• 39 new animations across three scenes, two of which are variations of a brand new scene, the other scene with Rose + MC is a remake of Rose cosplaying as a cheerleader, similar to the previous edition of the game, but hopefully with far, far better visuals, animations, and story in this version.
• Two new scenes in the replay gallery - you can pick which version of one of the new scenes you like, both variations with Daisy & MC, but slightly different depending on which option you select.
• 7 new audio files, 1 music track, and 6 sound effects
• Many audio bugs fixed, also lowered the volume of one of the most common walking sounds to make it less obnoxious (as pointed out by a few folks).
• Other bug fixing including on day2 afternoon, one branch had an incorrect Lily max love score, and then also a broken layout for the Lily Path Insights; a bug on day 4 that resulted in an adult scene that shouldn't have happened unless you were on the Daisy or Harem path (now appropriately, that scene is skipped if you're not on one of those two paths). Also edited the Elizabeth path and relationship on day 5 if you reject her, previously, these weren't set correctly if you decline her advances.
• My hard work for four solid weeks to bring you my best update yet.

• About 4,600 words of story - a shorter update, since I've been shipping probably too often recently.
• 280+ images starting with day 5 afternoon and finishing with a new scene with MC and Elizabeth at her office.
• 42 brand new animations in two different scenes, both added to the replay gallery (1 with Daisy, Lily, and MC, and a new scene with MC and Elizabeth).
• 2 new sound effects.
• Changes to the beginning of the game, removing the older intro & instead starting at the bar with Lois.
• My hope that you enjoy the update.

• About 6,000 words of story - it's only been like 3 weeks since the last update, so this fast turn around means I can't get as much done. However, the total word count in the remake is now at 102,841 - we're definitely on track to have a larger game than the original.
• 425 images starting with day 5 morning, and finishing up early afternoon, with multiple scenes remade.
• 28 brand new animations in two different scenes, both added to the replay gallery (1 with Lily, 1 with Daisy).
• 2 new sound effects.
• All new preferences for font size, border, font face, and more - my hope is you'll have a more usable, and accessible, experience than ever before.
• Tons of bug fixes from the beginning through the newest content.
• And, hopefully few if any new bugs :)

• 517 new images (of those 90 are from the previous production edition, the remaining 427 are brand new)
• 47 new animations across two sexy scenes (also one sexy scene from the previous edition with 11 animations); the animations have been updated to match the image processing which included defect removal & color correction to better fit the new experience.
• 11,400 plus words of story, including the remainder of the fourth in game day.
• Brand new Love score out of X on the characters page, so it's easy to see what the total potential love score is versus how many points you've acquired with any of the characters in game so far.
• 6 new sound effects & music files
• Updated the Replay link to be in the left nav even before you start the game for easier access, and added the four new scenes to replay (one scene has two variations, depending on your past choices with Daisy in game, which leads to two different sets of animation).
• A new driving animation earlier in the game where MC visits Elizabeth & Tricia at the office on Day 2, and a similar driving animation when he visits the bookstore in this update.
• Tons of updates to the prior content based on Discord feedback including choice updates, menu updates & more.

• Fourteen thousand words of new story
• 568 new full HD images, and 47 animations across three new adult scenes
• 19 new music & audio effects files
• Added the scene replay feature, accessible via the left menu, or the "Stats," link in the upper left of the screen.
• My hopes and dreams that you all love the latest, and the remake overall, more than the original.

• Nine thousand words of new story
• 416 new images, as well as four remade animations from the first animated scene in the game
• Brand new menu (similar to the prior production version)
• Revamped characters page, accessible via the new Stats link in the upper left, in addition to redone character images for that section versus the previous edition of the game.
• Renaming feature / change the customization in game via the character profile pages for Daisy, Lily, or Rose.

• 7,400 words of new story
• 320 new images
• 29 new animations across two brand new sexy scenes
• 37 new music files and sound effects
• Scoring changes from the earlier game scenes based on some feedback in Discord
• Introducing two new never before seen characters in any version of the game, and Sara the coffee shop barista in a second job is introduced for the first time in the remake.
• Steam Deck compatibility? Maybe? I've also updated the code to see if we can make sure the Steam Keyboard shows up on the Deck which prevented the game from being functional, as well as updated the fonts used in the menu at the bottom of the screen.

• Story continues with the 2nd day in the game and over twelve thousand words in this update
• 417 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
• Lots of new transitions (good, bad, or meh? You tell me) in both the earlier parts o the beta and the newest content.
• Audio, image, and other bug fixes from the beginning of the beta through to the newest content, with a few dozen edits overall.

• 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 August 17th with multiple spelling, grammar, and at least one code fix which had the wrong text depending on the scene with Lisa in the shop.
• Updated August 18th with two fixes for dialogue in the shop scene - one to undo the bug I created yesterday, and one to hopefully fix the original issue.

• 550 new images (all new, nothing re-used from the current production game), and combined with the previous beta, there now 1,449 images in the remake. That's more a lot more than thirty percent of the current completed game.
• 19 new animations, these include a remake of a scene in the current game, as well as a new goodbye kiss that's one of my longest animations so far (almost 8 seconds), and a brand new scene as voted on by supporters in a recent poll.
• 83 new sound effect & music files - the total for this remake is now at 245, which is just shy of what's in Milfy Cases. I think you'll enjoy the audio even more than usual this time around - or not, but I'm optimistic.
• All new 11,400 words of story, some of which is a rewrite of the current game, and some for new scenes was written from scratch. The total in the remake is now just over 33,400 words, which is only ~6K words short of the latest Milfy Cases update before I paused development on that title to remake HHD.
• Revamped office scene with Elizabeth, Tricia, and Eric - I've used a few new techniques, some new Renpy transitions, and more to make something that I consider some of my best work yet.

• 700+ new images, and just shy of 900 images in total.
• 9 new animations, which are a remake of the first animated scene in game
• 94 new audio files including new sound effects & music tracks
• Completely rewritten story, the first 22,000 words in this version
• New game over experiences if you choose unwisely
• Updated all the transitions to standardize them
• Rebuilt in Ren'py 8 for faster, better performance & experience
