Ren'Py Holiday Island [v0.4.1.0] [darkhound1]

Just to add the cynical angle here,

It is an irrelevant crowd to cater to or spend time on.

They ask for the save game because that's easiest for them.
Whether there are save games around elsewhere or could be searched is immaterial.

Pin it to the first page? They'll still come here and moan if it is a single day out of date or spam "when will the save be updated to version x.x"

Waste of time, so why create expectations in the first place.

No such thing as a 'Full Save' as some of the appointments/events/scenes are NOT repeatable. Weight training with Alice, sex with Delizia, etc. So one would need multiple 'Saves' to see everything which would require multiple name changes, if someone gets hung up on what the girls call the player. As DuckSwim pointed out, there will still be daily posts of 'I Need a Save' and/or how to change the player's name. Heck there is a Guide and Puppet Master's step-by-step walkthrough and those are rarely used as resources to answer 98% of the questions that arise daily.

Both of you I agree with and both your opinions are valid points.

As I said will keep down, nothing will stop them but if a quick fix could help reduce the amount, help the genuine ones who lost their save file , then is that not a benefit.

Winning a little war can help towards winning the bigger war.

I also look at how other developers (ones with sandbox games) have tackled this, and they have had to add name changes to their games. so must be some merit/benefit if other developers saw the need ??

Users will always want the quick fix/cheat/fast-track ways to get to an achievement.

If most of them have not worked out that most content is not repeatable, then they still loose out over playing the game from the start for themselves, but you gave them the choice.

However, I will state as I did before...

But as always, it is up to you if you want to add it darkhound1

Mr.MorningWood
Here is the latest saved game files from jikorde:
Mega
My FAQ has a lot of hints and spoilers, but you won't need it since you must have been close to finished before your reformat. Still, if this helps just give a like.
To change your name, open the console with <SHIFT-o? and type:

girlname.playername = "newfirstname"

You should type the name you want to be called in the quotes instead of newfirstname. You will need to do this for every girl from alice to yvette and jennifer to yumiko. girlname needs to be typed without caps or special characters, ie. renee, not Renée.
Good luck!
If anyone asks for a save again, just direct them to this post.

Thanks a lot. You just saved me. I completed everything up to the previous version. Now i will just play this version. Will surely direct anyone to your post looking for save files. And yes i was using your FAQ. Its really helpful.

> BE SURE to READ the LAST LINE <​

And I first thought this was just an attempt to make sure people didn't miss the "no idea yet"...
But it isn't!

This reminds me of a few typos/issues that I had actually planned to report:

Shower game with Eva:
Eva: Come on, don't act like a bad loser Eva.

Meet Amy at pool:
Amy: It's you loss [MC's name]
Amy: Mmmm.... Ahhh... *moans (last asterisk missing)

Eva's photo shoot:
To have a good match with her dark brown skin.

And one thing I noticed when entering Joy's office for playing poker at 23:00: through the window you see the ocean in bright daylight. Maybe, in a future version, a romantic moonlit ocean scene render?

Sorry, I can't unsee such things...

 

[BDMick]

Amy can also be fucked 3 times a day if you are lucky. First in the pool (send away other girls to change swimsuit) play with her in the pool, throw her in the water. Enjoy.

Then if you have invite from her to dinner you can have the second time. Or if you catch her open door on the way to your room. Then armwrestling in the bar, you have the third.

Yes, that's right! I totally forgot that you can fuck Amy in the pool. I'll try it out. Thanks!

Just to add the cynical angle here,

It is an irrelevant crowd to cater to or spend time on.

They ask for the save game because that's easiest for them.
Whether there are save games around elsewhere or could be searched is immaterial.

Pin it to the first page? They'll still come here and moan if it is a single day out of date or spam "when will the save be updated to version x.x"

Waste of time, so why create expectations in the first place.

I would say that your viewpoint is more devil's advocate than cynical, but as always, you make a good point. My viewpoint on saved games is more pragmatic.
Nothing will stop people from asking for saved games, so it is irrelevant what you do about it. As you said before, the discussion is "whipping a dead horse." So I'll hide my take on the subject for those who wish to see it.

Alice can also be fucked 3 times.

First on beach

make her win the wet shirt/butt contest ->reward fuck early evening.

Then play with her in the bar ->poledance > fuck in the private room

 

[zenaxius]

Told you it was coming in about 2 weeks!

 

[soulreaper777]

0.2.1.0 beta --> 16th or 17th of May

Thats great- Its my early shift weekend. Now I know. what ro do in rhe afternoon and the evening.....

 

[anon2002]

Amy gets a very much improved scene on the plane, that is an achievement now as well --> will be available with 0.2.1.0

Nice! I was thinking about starting a fresh game on this version and Amy getting an improved scene on the plane has made me sure I will

Darkhound you are a star, sir.

This indeed sounds great. Same goes for May 16/17th release of 0.2.1.

One different question from me - I find Faye very, very unattractive. How crucial is she to the game if I would do my best to keep her away from Island (if it's even possible)?

On top of my head, Faye unlocks the gym shower for the other girls to use afterward and that's it.
She is not among my favorites girls but her scenes are nice (Hotshot and the gym events).

 

[Monsieur X]

Since the release is around the corner I will share a bit of info that was posted on Patreon.
Girls tier and Dark commentary about it :

 

[rooney10]

I find Faye very, very unattractive.

Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Slow down amigo. While I take issue with your use of the term "unattractive", I'm willing to give you a pass based on one's personal opinion. That said, we could no longer be friends once you launch the first "very". And I absolutely draw a line in the sand w/the utterly irresponsible use of the second "very".

You now have to meet me on the playground at high noon where I will defend the lovely Faye's honor...TO THE DEATH.

 

[Melimelo]

Whoishe79 If you're in need of a second, I'm your man

Wow, Alice didn't make the 1st tier ... I know who I would expell from there to make her room

 

[Bantry]

Love the tier 3 girls, although admittedly Ivy scares me. Now Delizia, Lacey, Renee and Brenda are yummy! While the tier 1 and 2 girls are occupied with the masses, tier 3's and I will be off exploring the lesser known parts of the island.

 

[soultornone]

The girls from most attractive to least attractive in my opinion
1. Yumiko
2. Jennifer
3. Amy
4. Alice
5. Renee
6. Heather
7. Delizia
8. Brenda
9. Joy
10. Lacey
11. Jessica
12. Desire
13. Aly
14. Eva
15. Yvette
16. Miriam & Mercedes = tie
17. Faye
18. Ivy
19. Natasha

 

[zenaxius]

I am wondering... should I wait and play it fresh, or continue my current run? I am about 2 or 3 weeks in.

No contest, replay. Lots of people are in hundreds of days.
