Renders are so pretty, but the delivery of the story and sex scenes are gimmick. This is one of the games here I feel really strongly conflicted about. I can see the dev has talent and is putting hard work into it but at the same time I don't feel like I enjoy the direction this game is taking. Surely the end of it is nowehere near in sight but this is the standard theese days I guess. I mean at least an AWAM has got the sexual scenes panned out in some engaging manner. This game I feel like there is a missmatch between game sexual content and actuall story.

Yeah for some reason when attempting to install it says Hillside v11 (but its expecting v12.)
Apk analyzer wont open it either.
Dont know... didnt liked the update.
The whole dealing with the police was kinda strange, as if a 10 year old has written that... a police man grabbing a lawyer at the throat... well yeah... he never ever would have got away with that and would have been a policemen for the last time. A good lawyer (and this one was a expensive lawyer of charlotte, so he should have been a good one) would have stripped him of his job right there for good and sued him too.
How the police acts here was strange in a big way... so the whole station is corrupt (what a surprise, of course it is) but if it is the case... they never ever would act the way they did IN FRONT of witnesses and especially the FBI... thats just ridiculous. Of course they want revenge for the carter-killing... but they wouldnt act that dumb and clearly showing everybody that they are corrupt.
"oh look there is that FBI woman, charlotte and Emma too, ah fuck it we will abuse our power anyway and make him pay in front of them" or what? come on... Darkblue can do better than that, sometimes it felt like he didnt wrote this episode.
Other than that, it was obvious that we have to deal with the fallout from the killingspree. That was kinda done hasty and plump i think. Overall the last two episode felt kinda "rushed" like DB wants to get over with the game faster.
Well, i admit... we needed some more progress in every direction... but the pace feels off now... the first 9 episodes everything developed kinda slow (and i liked that), and now we are at pedal to the metal, with a pace that doesnt even fit anymore.
And there is something that bothers me more and more... of course there will be some love-routes... one for Charlotte, one for Luzy, one for Suzie and Kaylah too i guess. And there are more than just hnts in that direction already.
BUT there will be an Emma-route too, DB said that, and the whole game design is going for it... but the story and writing not.
There is no way in hell Charlotte, Suzie or Luzy would go through with it that the MC has something going on with Emma. Like this is going so far, if they are falling in love with each other, i cant see any way that this will be a happy thing living in the open and that charlotte and the others would accept that, no way... and if DB would decide to write it that way, all the characters would have to make a 180 degree turn. Not believable. There is just no way anybody could accept a relationship between MC and Emma, i just dont see it... well... for now even Emma cant see that. But her daddy-issues will change eventually.
So when Emma will get together with the MC, the only plausible way to go about it, would be that she i leaving home with him... well there are hints that she is already on a way to leave home evantually (mentioned that she want to leave for university soon) but really, can anybody picture her leaving her mother like the way she is? I sure dont see that. And i think DB has moved himself in a dilemma here...
Everything else is working somehow, but to pull off a plausible way to make a working and happy relationship between Emma and MC with a happy ending seems impossible to me... And i think that Darkblue didnt thaught this through.
Well i have to wait to see how this will go on...
Talking about waiting... i was a sup on patreon, not anymore... i have to say it, iam not pleased with the timing of the updates... This one was kinda short too, last update was late june. So overall 4 months now, not that long compared to other game... BUT, there are no sounds, no animations. static renders dont take much time to render... DB doesnt write that much, mostly every dialog are about 10 lines, not really much more... he is recycling many renders too. For this way how he is developing, there should be way more content per update than this during a 4 months shedule.
I dont have a problem with recycling renders, and to dont change clothes that much and such... makes the work easier and faster... but if you do, you have to make up for it someway. some do it with animations or good sound and music... if you dont have that, than you have to put out more content... way more like this. How many renders were there this episode? 400? Not that much more... others make this numbers in 1 month with more writing too.
For this many patrons he has, i did expected more to be frank. I dont see the benifit anymore to be a sup at patreon like this... for that i expect way more than he has delivered. Sorry.
*edit* well i forget... DB said himself he needs a break... i think its fair to say, you can see that how the last epsiodes went.

The Dev wants to write a romance mixed with police themes, happening in Hollywood with glamurous people with sex, money and power as a backdrop.
Compared to most VNs here it's deeper(it doesn't take much let's be honest), compared to an actual police romance/novel it's begginer level being generous.
He cares little about sex itself other than how powerful people manipulate and flex their power to get it.
Perfectly exemplified in the Kaylah sex scene, which feels like an afterthought rather than something hot and tittilating.

Hillsides got a sex scene?!man this game a lot of build up , we got ONE SEX fast than flash
I downloaded the new version from this site but every time I start the game, the game ends the end of the 11th episode and sends me to main menu. how can i fix it?
a bad one with kaylah... felt kinda forced... DB thaught he must deliver some to please some people i guess... the whole thing was... well... bad. But thats just kaylah i think, dont like her character very much. Acting dumb the whole time, fangriling right away on the MC, feels kinda like DB decided to write a cheap girl into the game just to have one easy girl for the MC where there is no need for any build up. But this just doesnt fit to the game at all.
*edit* oh yeah one with Lucy too... well, there it fits the relationship between Mc and her if you go for her... but well... let me say it like that, there is a reason why this game doesnt have that much lewd content... Darkblue cant deliver on that part. But it doesnt bother me, i dont need lewd scenes in this game, and to me its all about Emma and/or charlotte anyways... and i think that we will never get anything lewd with them until the very end anyways.

Two even, if you're on Lucy's route you get one as well.
played with mod before? than you have to wait until the mod gets updated, otherwise you need to start a new game... would advise that anyway, start over and dont use a mod anymore... dont know why anybody needs a mod anyway for this game. Its not rocket sience which decisions to make here...
if you didnt use any mods before... i dont know what to do here. sounds like a issue with mods to me.
nah its because this new chapter doesn't even has one fucking choice. i skip unseen dialogue to the next choice in the ending of chapter 11 and accidentally finish the whole fucking game. seriously there isn't even a minor choice option.
At least the dev was honest and transparent that he barely managed to finish this update. Could've just deleted Patreon and vanished like AOA Academy. Another reminder that all those season en episode plans that will take years to complete are very optimistic except for some devs that probably have their life very stable and sorted out (like DPC probably and Drifty etc).

There is, but...https://f95zone.to/threads/hillside-v0-12-darkblue.52621/post-9287872. There's missing a very minor choice in that case, too.
I can't comment on your Patreon observation, but the other valid point of suddenly MC being crush of both Emma and Suzi and the distance Charlotte had in this episode with him given that we FUCKING played 11 episodes of getting close to her. I mean, I felt cheated. Even if it had been a very very very small scene like Kaylah-MC for Charlotte-MC, it would have pleasured me but right now, I just feel that this whole Charlotte route has been a waste of time because Suzi and Emma suddenly eclipsed her in this episode. Even Lucy feels a better choice.
I guess, maybe that is a common occurrence in life that what you aim to achieve and invest years of life in it, may fickle and what you never thought becomes more soothing and fulfilling reality. I mean I don't know, maybe this happens in real life romances but I just wanted an update all about Charlotte-MC, a whole freaking episode around them being happy, and sexy times too.
well, rofl... yeah.
I said it before, i didnt liked the update...
DB admitted it himself in a patreon post after uploading this episode, and its very clear if you play this update and the last one too... he lost his passion for the project. So did i... Hillside was a favorite for me, was a sup until this update. He has to win me over again, but i doubt it will be the case.
In fact, all considered, we are even heading to an "on hold" tag soon and abondoned in the future. I just cant see it anymore that DB is willing to finish this game in a satisfying way. Like the whole thing goes, we are maybe halfway through now. I dont see that he will get that "spark" again... the last two episodes had a strange pace and kinda bad writing too, everything felt very rushed and not thaught through. Not surprising though if you know that Darkblue lost his passion about the game, it becomes clear if you play the last two episodes. There is a huge difference to the first 7-8 episodes i think, where you can still see that "he loved" to make the game and write content about Charlotte and Emma... but not anymore. And once this is the case, i dont believe in "comebacks"
Well at least he is an honest DEV, didnt hide the fact he needs a break (in fact never hid it before too, so thumps up for that) and paused the billig more than once in the past too if he didnt felt it. But yeah the direction has become pretty clear to me... Hillside will be abondoned one day i think. Maybe during 2023.

I too would of liked ore Charlotte in this update and what we got of her was hate/like/unsure of her feeling for him and sometimes even in the same sentence.
Charlotte seemed to be a minor character in this update and could we have Jenny as another LI for the MC?
