VN Ren'Py Hillside [v0.15.1] [DarkBlue]

[Ahx]

I do hope something is gonna happen. I like the slow burn, but a lot of these VN's go from 'nothing happens' to fucking as rabbits 3 times a day towards the end of the story...if we ever come this far and it isnt postponed

The relationship with MC and Charlotte IS the only slow burn right now.

MC can have Lucy any time of the day, but his profession is not letting him and the same goes for Kayla. If you get a surprise night with Kayla or Lucy, like maybe in the coming update, don't get surprised. ( Character and story arc is given importance here by the writer, not many do that in this niche. )

The relationship between MC and Lucy is out of pure physical or sexual attractiveness. They can physically get together quickly, but develop a strong, deep connection towards each other later down the road, unlike with Charlotte, she demands the connection and trust first.

Emma has not been recognized as a potential LI yet and Katie...sorry, Suzi just started to consider MC as a friend.

Considered this VN, and don't mind the pun because i like it, is 2 years in the making.....all is slow

and mc hasn't whacked even once.

Last update definitely created a oppurtunity for a turn around in Charlotte's behaviour i think, it would be fun to see Charlotte starting to make some moves on the MC.

True, she is definitelly not a scared, non trusting person she was before and is very close to falling in love with the mc, actually she probably already is in love with him. Just remember the ending. So we should see her being more intimate with him in the next updates for sure.
Also i like the new banner or image of the game on top of the page, only i think Charlotte should be the one in the center, not blondie, she is the central figure of the game imo.

Charlotte is the red wine of Hillside, there are some wine appreciators sure but the masses love coca-cola.
Emma is the cola of Hillside, the barely legal virgin teen scared of penises. That's why she is the brand of HS.

Dude, everybody loves wine.

It was sort of a joke. Emma and Charlie are the most popular girls of the game.
I like Suzie too but she doesn't get enough screentime. Taming her would be great.

 

[balaena]

Those that have been following the game since the beginning will remember there was a nude shot of Emma in the bathroom, but it was removed from the game

Wait, so does that mean we're not going to have nude shots of her in the game, if the developer decided to remove it?

 

[CamaroFan432]

There is a big problem though. Lucy and her feelings for the MC. In my eyes, there could be a way: Charlie telling Lucy, that she (C) got feelings for him. And Lucy thinking, that it would be fair to share, because C needs and should have some love and stability in her live. That would also open up a path were Emma and Suzie could get involved. Heck, even Kaylah could get a possibilty. But the MC needs some kind of closure, and I feel that will come in the next update. (Then the lewd content will finally show up. )

I feel you

Told ya: Charlotte is my queen, but Suzie is my Princess. Emma is my fluffy kitten.

Who cares about Lucy. She's my secretary. Kayla's my lover.

So,

Charlotte = Queen
Suzie = Princess
Kayla = lover
Lucy = secretary
Emma = fluffy kitten

In the first evening, Emma screamed in her bathroom, bc she was there was a spider in the tube/sink.
So the MC barged in to rescue her...and saw her naked.

So, then there was alot of critic bc of the scene, alot of people thought if Charlie saw them together she would kick the MC out in an instant.
dB overworked this scene in the next update.

Personal i had a little bit different opinion, it is the job from a Bodyguard to interfere no matter what "could happen" or even injure a client. Better safe than sorry.
There is also a video somewher on yt, where you can see the Bodyguards from former Potus Reagen drag him full force in his car, after he is being shot in NY? i think.

Still, she's storywise the first one, who got involved with the MC. I would love to at least have the option to have all of the Lyods without ditching one. They're all through so much pain, that I would love to see them happy with the MC.

True that, for her as well because of the last update a possibility of a turn around in her behaviour is very present. Maybe first she will not undertand why the MC helped her, but i see great romance possibilities for this character as well.

There is such a video. Also on 9/11 VP Cheney was at the White House and the secret service poured in picked him up by the elbows and ran him to the bunker. He later commented that they gave him no chance to impede their actions even had he wished too. Not "Mr. Vice President we're here to escort you the the bunker. Please follow us." They just picked him up and went.

So yes an immediate aggressive response to a scream is exactly what you should expect from a bodyguard.

 

[Sinister Dahlia]

All of us are for some reason discarding Lucy as a potential culprit for the shenanigans, as she clearly has some baggage towards Charlotte? I think that is how the Lucy/Charlotte conundrum will get resolved

Anyone who seen Kevin Costner/Whitney Houston the bodyguard should be a bit suspicious about a sister who is envious.

What kind of douchebag takes a girl out to the movies and doesn't buy a drink or popcorn? Ohhh, right, she's out with Zak... I wouldn't drink anything he gave me either...

Indeed, and I feel that was a mistake. The replaced image doesn't work for me, considering the circumstance, it makes no sense.

 

[Weasel_Face]

Yes, plotwise - at least at the beginning - Emma was needed, else there would not be much interaction between MC and Charlie, Suzy would have fried his ass. However, at the current state of the story Emma is just way too immature with here Zakophilia, though she has seen what Zak did. 0 self esteem. It is ok, if she is naive, or pure. But dropping her defense after Zak plowed her classmate, it is just stupid. Yeah and attacking the poor sod, who tired to help her and show her Zak is a jerk. Her current role is just plain stupid.

Emma has grown up in a hermetically sealed bubble of man hate and lives vicariously through teen movies like High School Musical, problem is, the star of these schlock movies goes to her school and is showing interest in her. I doubt Charlotte has even had the birds & bees discussion with her and she exists in the world of rainbows & unicorns... Her Mom doesn't give her any decent advice as she does not want to discuss the opposite sex due to ptsd and her aunt ain't doing her any favours either, "hey lets eat pizza & watch another Zak movie..." The only one who treats her as an adult is Suzi, "Hey, you got a date, go have fun!" When she thinks of MC, she hopes he will be her Daddy. (and not in the way we would like that...) Kayla is trying to get her out of her shell but really has no clue about all the other stuff in play...

For me, I don't see any way in hell that MC could end up with Emma as a GF, yes she likes him, maybe is even starting to love him but not as a BF! As I am playing a hard Charlotte route in my game, I will wait until the conclusion before I even start to try & figure out any possible Emma love route...
