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

[Andrew39]

n i get it,DB can do no wrong here but, come on, at a point surely I'm not the only one thinkin either piss or get off the pot bro, great effort first half of the game(4 years ago) kinda fell off now (last update was a 180 compared to the original direction) but all I question is the goal to finish solid, or just drag this bitch out another 5 years...

 

[Azk66]

Sorry man but awful logic, you like the quality, so then regardless of lies from the dev, countless deadlines not being met, all the while taking in a considerable amount of patreon dollars, a 2 year/10 year plan makes no difference? At a point (i think 5 years is reasonable) can you not question the piss poor effort by the dev whose clearly not capable of meeting the expectations he originally set himself. But you're right, 2032 cant wait for the end of a VN a decade in the making..

Don't make me come back for another brawl Andrew. I thought you were done shitting on DB. Why don't you look at other VNs, those who truly have 2 updates per year, which is not the case here

 

[J.R.]

Oh fuck, the shitposter is back again...

No joke, but looking at his post history he did 32 so far, ALL of them here, and ALL of them to bash the game and insult the dev. Sorry, but this guy is pretty much a nutcase.

Yeah, don't take "it" serious. Like you said, look at the account post history. No credibility at all.

 

[Irgendwie Irgendwo]

Colour me confused. Guy above claims that this VN is "five years in the making", but the first post in this thread was on May 18, 2020. That's a little more than two years. Did the VN exist for three years befor it was posted here or what? Oh yes, and it definitely has more updates than two per year.

 

[Azk66]

And that's only for the message, even the reactions are all here. He has eyes only for Hillside. A little more than 200 actions (reactions and messages), all trolling DB or Hillside, with questionable informations at best

Four years of what?!! the game was created two years ago The first time I heard about Hillside was from a friend it was on July 10, 2020, at this time DB had just released version 0.3, I started playing games with Hillside and although some of them came out before, none of Developers were faster in the rate of updates than DB.

charlotte in a good mood. Let's not make her upset

 

[Darth Vengeant]

Over two years of game development and still nothing with Charlotte. Still. Too many games do this. I find it ridiculous. There is "slow burn", but stuff like this taking years is just nonsense. I get tired of side activities and long drawn out conversations in games when instead most people want it to get to what we have been waiting for....for years. Get with it already.

 

[Ragnar]

I like the story and most characters, Emma is a bit over the top but the rest are good. I understand slow burn and story first games but at some point you have to start with the lewd content if your game is going into that direction.
Hillside is a strange case because the dev goes backward instead of forward. Like deleting the shower scene with nude Emma years ago. It's strange because in bonus renders we have some eroticism but the game seems to be 95% sanitized more than two years into development.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
I just went back to page 1 to look at the genre spoiler, and, as I recalled, there was no mention of real sex of any sort in it. Now, I didn't join the game at the start, so I don't know what was posted then, but I don't recall ever seeing anything more than what is posted now, which is:

3DCG, Male protagonist, Romance, MILF, Masturbation, Voyeurism, Exhibitionism, Teasing, Mobile game

Reviewing the sexy words: Romance check, MILF check (does it count as MILFs if you are not a horny teenager or college student but a man close to the age of the MILFs?), Masturbation check, Voyeurism check, Exhibitionism check, Teasing check double check and quadruple check (and maybe octruple check too).
I'm perfectly happy with the game as is. If you are not, perhaps you should look for another game with different genres. Would I be happy if Hillside had more sexy stuff? Of course I would, but what there is right now satisfies me. I can get as much of the sexy stuff as I want with other games, and real porn too.
Just my 3 cents (Canadian).

yeah, Lucy masturbating in Charlotte's hot tub screams romance better than a wall of text

If you are not, perhaps you should look for another game with different genres.

I have followed this game since the beginning so may as well wait for its completion.
Am I happy with how things have evolved since then? No, so I criticize what I don't like.

I'm not sure but it seems to me that not every scene has to be about romance for romance to be present. It does prove that masturbation is present though. Was this part of your post deflection, goal post moving or something else. It certainly wasn't a refutation.

I'm pretty sure that I'm going to piss you off with my next statement, which really isn't my intent. You sound like one of those harem guys that goes on to a thread where the dev hasn't made harem one of the tags and criticize him for not adding it.
Caveats:
1) The vast majority of games posted here have full blown sex in them so it seems reasonable to criticize him for not having it.
2) You have a much more logical argument than most (all?) of the harem demanders.

I really don't want to get into a word war with you so, if you respond to this, I will read it but I probably won't respond to it, unless you specifically request it in your post. Also, I'm not really fond of the tone of my first message on this, as I re-read it, it sounded snarky, which wasn't my intent, so i apologize to you for the tone.

 

[Ahx]

What Ragnar stated is mostly true. I believe it had taken a different direction a long time ago, around the time when things like he has mentioned were removed and modified, likely due to a new approach in which the story-focus is highly favored or change of heart or something like that. I'm a little disappointed too, not because of the stern focus on the story but doing it at the expense of doing it.

I play single routes and harem games. I don't like when devs force relationship on the MC, I prefer to have a choice always.
Anyway, my criticism is about how long the slow burn is taking if that wasn't clear.

Well, thank goodness you have the choice between four different relationship paths. Every Lloyd woman has a designated one. Although we didn't get the final decider for Emma yet. And most likely Suzi.
