I am aiming for an Android version someday, but at the moment, there are conflicting code and UI elements that I would have to re-do in order to achieve this, which makes it very low in my priority list right now.
...Unless there's a random rogue programmer out there who wants to help me make one for free. :') In that case, they should hit me up.
Definitely check your Firewall! Some people reported that their Antivirus tried to block the program. If you're still having trouble, you can talk to me on Discord. My username is "brokemycrown"
Okay, I'll do a proper devlog tomorrow, but I uploaded a Revised version of the Guide. It's the txt that's downloadable with the rest of the files on this page. Let me know if it works!
Hopefully next update after the revised character creator drops, but they'll be vague for the CGs (outside of sex scenes) because I don't want to draw different torsos when it's not the focus of the scene. I'm trying my best to not to bloat the amount of work on the customization because this game has no budget, and if I find illustrating the MC to be more work than necessary, then I might just cut the creator and customized CGs entirely.
I just realized I didn't tick the labels on the files, which prevents some people from downloading it, sorry! If you run it on Windows, Mac or Linux, it *should* be okay now. (Lemme know if you run into problems.)
No, Reanimated Heart is still being made. I'm just also working on other projects now, but it won't affect the speed I work on RH (I generally aim for 3 chunky updates a year). I mean, I gave you guys a huge update last month! LMAO
It should pull up a pop-up where you can gift Vincenzo an item in your inventory that isn't your "essentials", but in this scenario, it looks like you don't have anything in your inventory. I'll see about removing the option if you have nothing.
Hello, I am a solodev that wants to make something for Spooktober. I read over the guidelines, and it looks like it fits, but I feel like it's a dicey topic, so I might as well ask:
I am hoping to create a work of Creative Non-Fiction recounting my personal traumatic events regarding dogs. Nothing explicit or anything like that, but it will be uncomfortable horror, and tread on topics such as animal violence, abuse, diseases, and death that have happened in real life. Would this sort of topic be allowed for Spooktober? (The work will not be advocating for any harm to myself or animals, but rather, advocate for their better treatment, if anything.)
This game is absolutely AMAZING! From the art to the writing to the design and the atmosphere... I'm absolutely gobsmacked. It feels like reading a real, substantial Gothic novel, but enhanced greatly by the amazing visuals, music, and interactivity. I will be following this project !!
Omg I'm like the opposite, I think "dude" is more gendered while "guy" is gender neutral... Anyway I'll probably go back to the script at some point and fix all this lol. I do want to do this and do more gendered adjectives to describe MC too. And have the MC have more specific gendered conversations with people. Coming Soon (tm) I guess.
I've coded RH in a way where the player character can have dynamic conversations with the characters without punishment (unless you're being a huge asshole). You can usually tell when you're headed a certain plot direction with the prompts instead of arbitrary responses leading to certain endings, so you are free to define your relationships with them and "roleplay." For example, instead of trying to see if your response is "good" to Black, you can use it as a tool to learn more about him and his motivations, how he sees himself, what being a "good person" means to him, etc.
Not in this demo! Black is intended to be a very slowburn character. He's the type of guy that won't kiss MC until he's sure he wants to marry them, LMAO.
I can add one more masc haircut in a future update.
But you've commented before on this skin issue, and I asked you what you meant by beige. Now I'm asking you what you mean by tan. There are three darker skin options, one is tan. Can you give actual references about what you mean?
Hello! I'm planning on the FULL game being $15 (with optional DLC like story expansions and artbook/OST) when it's fully released, but that'll be way into the future haha.
And I genuinely gave you my answer. I'm non-binary, and I tailor the aesthetic to a more general androgyny because of my preferences.
Also, I don't like this "very offended" comment you're pulling, because if you were really being curious/constructive, you would've elaborated more. Not that it even matters, anyway. The art style is done, so I don't even understand the point of commenting like this.
Yes, there is, but it's just my private Patreon server right now. I intend to make a dedicated RH server in the following months. I can make an announcement here + the socials for when they're up, so stay tuned!
Yeah, the romance scene is inaccessible deliberately because he'd be so hungry he would just eat the MC. (It's not the best situation, I know, but this choice will get explored more in future updates.)
That's very odd. You're the 1st person that had this complaint, and just with this update, so it must be something that was implemented with the new code that's incompatible with your computer (either it's the new Ren'Py version or something we added in). I also use Windows 11, so it's not that. We'll keep checking.
We're working on an Android release right now, so you can wait for that if you have an Android.
In the meantime, if you'd like to play it and help me troubleshoot it, can you contact me via email [reanimatedheartdrive@gmail.com] or Discord [brokemycrown]? Please identify yourself with your itch username when you do. Thank you! :)
I'm still waiting for my programmer to get back to me on follow-up questions, but just to clarify... you downloaded the new update, clicked the Reanimated Heart icon in the folder, and it just doesn't load?
