Version 0.1.9 beta - development news (updated 09/09/2019)

Hi guys and gals, this post offers you a collection of news about the next full version of Holiday Island (0.1.9 beta) and the smaller updates towards it.
There will be smaller, more frequent content updates, called content addons. They will include bug fixes and new content as well.
The change log below is based on the beta 0.1.8.0 release.
The next release is 0.1.8.1 beta which will be an incremental update!
It will include a lot of new features and some bug fixes.
The update from 0.1.8.0 to 0.1.8.1 has 14 new renders, videos and sound files right now!


New features and content Minor improvements and changes
  • Lacey gets a beach pose scene --> will be added with 0.1.8.1 (still working on it)
  • Desire gets new high res webp poker images and a lot of conversation during poker play --> will be added with 0.1.8.1
  • The poker game supports webp high res images and individual zoom and talk options now --> will be added with 0.1.8.1
  • Girl's attractiveness has been added to the new UI watch --> will be added with 0.1.8.1
Bug fixes
  • Asking a girl to flash her breasts leads to a crash --> will be fixed with 0.1.8.1
  • AttributeError: 'cl_player' object has no attribute 'phone_image' (this only happens when you permanently show the MCs stats using the new UI) --> will be fixed with 0.1.8.1
  • Delizia workout sex scene, crash with missing image --> will be fixed with 0.1.8.1
  • Ivy's new reception outfit grope/flash renders aren't in the special renders gallery --> will be fixed with 0.1.8.1

Is the update going to break save games?:
0.1.8.1 beta --> Save games from 0.0.8 and later can still be used. Earlier saves are no longer supported.

Estimated release dates:


0.1.8.1 beta
--> no idea yet

darkhound1, great update. I like the UI improvements, but I do have a question about that: for those of us who have Wilson's mod (behind on updates though it be at the moment), is there a place for it in the new UI? If there is, I haven't found it yet.

Hotshots answers and cheats. Update 07 Sept 19.

Cheats script to be copied in the /game folder. Open it with notepad ( or the like ) to see what it does and how to use it.
Note : maxing lust on girl and yourself can prevent some scenes to trigger.
I don't actually know how to use this cheat....I tried it for at least 1 hour....:cry:

Question, a few times I've seen the location status for a girl being somewhere other than one of the standard locations.
For example, I'm at the beach and I see Eva's location status as "volleyball". Is there a way to go to where they are playing volleyball?

Not as of yet, we can only hope!

Open the archive, copy the script "cheat.rpy" in the /game folder.
Open the game console ( shit+O) , type in the commandes I listed in the script ( maxall(), rem(), sexy() etc ).

You did Faye pull-ups scenes ? That is what unlock the gym shower.

Question: Is the grind supposed to be this slow?

I restarted with 1.8 (after not playing since 1.5) and feel like progress is almost nil. After several weeks of play, there are only 5 girls on the island (meaning every time a contest comes up, I'm told there aren't enough girls there). Every day I do a routine of working out with Jennifer (and focusing on the workout) but my strength has only increased by 1. Every day I spend time in the room working to build up charm, and that has only increased by 1.

At this rate, I'm going to spend several months working on JUST charm to get it to 4, then spend another 6 months working on JUST Hacking/Sneaking to get that to 4. That seems like it's taking way longer than it should.

Is there something I'm missing? How do I get more girls to come to the island? Heck, how do I get a massage?! (I go to the massage spa, and there's never anyone there to give massages.)

Oh, girls on the island are Aly, Yvette, Desire, Eva, Jessica. Heck, there are so few girls that they gossip about themselves "Eva: I heard Eva's father was a poker player!"


Yes, I know I can cheat...but I'm trying to play the game the way it's designed.

Something is definitively wrong. After weeks you should have the max nb of girls on the island. Do you have the option to invite more girls ? ( I guess not hence you question but in doubt ).
The MC stats increase is also odd, do you use Jennifer tips for training ?
Massage : none of your current girls can do massage, that's why nobody is there.

I commend you for not using cheats. There has always been a grind factor to the game, but you have to determine what works and doesn't. Daily activity isn't always your best choice. For example, had you talked with Jennifer she would have told you that working out every day is not efficient and actually does more harm than good.

No idea how you managed to have only 5 girls on the island after "several" weeks of ingame time. For me several is not 1 or 2, but more like 4 or even more. At that time you have 9 girls on the island.
Starting from day 10 you can invite girls to come to the island. Joy explained it.
I also don't understand why you just play to raise your stats all the time. Talk to the girls, enjoy the game and if you can't get a scene because of too low player stats, do it later. Charm will increase automatically over time as well. Same with strength if you help the girls train.
You can raise charm, strength, endurance, etc. 1 point per week if your stats are low. This will get slower the higher your stats are.
You are not supposed to train strength every day. Jennifer explains how you should train. I suggest you listen to her :)

Play the game to enjoy it and not to raise your stats. It's completely the wrong approach.

OK, you're confirming what it already felt like. The massage I figured that was the case....I do use Jennifer's tips for training...and, no I can't invite more girls (Joy never showed up during week 2)...I can reassign jobs, but that doesn't do much.

I'm going to wipe the saves and start again....seems some flags weren't triggered.


Oh, and darkhound, I have been interacting with the girls. That's been going as planned...that is, with three of them I can pass any affection/lust/love/flirt check...(well, I use alcohol to help with charm checks) ...I was trying to raise strength, because I could never help any of the girls in the gym (that would always fail).

But, as I said, I'm going to uninstall and start again...might have been something lingering from an old install.
