And I keep on recommending "Hillside" on all the popular threads but some guys are just some guys who likes to bully and laugh on other ppls judgement and choices...but this VN is my top tier because this is how reality works not some Hollywood style super cool nuisance fake action hero focused overrated shows...which is old-school from my point of view...yeah I said it.

Edit; I desperately want this particular VN audience to grow because it is just that good for me.
Don't worry I'm sure the audience for this game will grow. It's already attracted the attention for those of us who appreciate a good slow burn story with complex characters, once there's a few lewd scenes the rest will probably jump on

So I gave it a go and really have enjoyed it so far but I agree with Pothb and wouldn't call this a clone or ripoff. So you play a MC protecting a young girl from a stalker so what. Not everything has to be unique. How many, police/law/hospital/firestation drama/action tv series are there, they're not clones.

Anyhoo, this is goes in a very different direction than Lexi and each has own pros and cons.

As I've said before I like the seriousness of the story here, the artwork and renders are pretty darn good. As much as I like harem's it wouldn't make sense here unless everyone got seriously freaky pretty darn fast which would cheapen the story.

I'm really looking forward to the healing brought to Charlotte by the MC just being a decent guy to her and showing her not all men are scum like she's used to. Bonus points for him actively rescuing her from both the 2 main douches in her life.

As much as I dislike the jumping from character to character and not playing purely from the MC's perspective, I have found it's given me more of a connection to Charlotte and Emma than I got the girls in Lexi. In the other, sure want to protect them, but they're more just targets to bang and fall in love with. i've become invested in Charlotte & Emma and I really want to protect and help more than bang them.
Couldn't have said that any better.

Killing Him too Easy, Shoot his dick OFF! AND
(How Do you know that his genitals are slimy?)
This is a safe place if you want to talk about it... it's ok no judgement....here.
Why would u touch it?
Tie his Ass to a Log and let the rotary saw do its job!
No Touching required!
I'm old school. I prefer the 'beat to death' or, 'shot in the back of the head'. Hell, I'd even stab him to death. I'll let you youngins get creative.

Gotta agree, 2-3 months an update is great and has been the average for most the games i've played here,hell i'd be fine with 6 months if renders and story is great, no greed or milking, just working hard to make a great game. This is one of my top 10 games, I checked out lexi last week and while it's a great game, hillside is just a much better version of it, especially on renders and im a huge sucker for beautiful renders.

Update - 10th October
V0.6 - 31st October
I guess he's well rested and eager to work after his holiday/vacation. Thanks much DB. This is great news. I can't wait to replay it in 1080P with the added clarity and detail.

Well NO, it's NOT great.

The average has been monthly updates until this place started to be flooded by tons of people who thought they were going to become rich making Patreon funded porn games. Guess what? they didn't become rich.

Hell no, I wouldn't be fine with 6 months. Hillside IS NOT BaDIK: it is a Visual Novel, dude. Can't you tell the difference?

Again with tossing that around? BaDIK isn't the be all, end all. Hillside has a much better story. What story does BaDIK even have? Oh. Right. Kid goes to college, joins a frat, otherwise he'd be homeless. Then the story tells about his misadventures and fucking. Oh! Let's not forget the whole: "2 lesbians fucking your life up" part of that. Yeah. Awesome story line, bruh! Much better than any other!

Give it a rest.

I agree that many people are trying to get rich quick and milking patreons, esp those that say they would quit their jobs and do this full time and then still take 6-12 months for a single update, but many of devs here make under 1k and few over 2k, they're not gonna put all their time on a game and risk living off the streets for that. Sure if devs are doing this full time honestly 3-4 months months is what i would tolerate if i was supporting them. Also good story and art takes time, unless you've developed a successful game yourself and know the process I'd cut them some slack.

There's a game here thats nearing 6k a month and only had 1 release/short demo, and that was almost 7 months ago, now that's what you call milking. Also the 6 month is in general, i wasn't talking about just this game.

This ^^

Honestly if I was pledging monthly (and I do to a few) I expect a monthly update.

I guess you totally misinterpreted my statements.

I think the current "pacing" of Hillside's updates is more than adequate now: if every update comes out every 1 months and a half - 2 months I'd be quite happy.

3-4 months wouldn't be good. If it took 6 months for the next update I'd say the project is dead.

It would be interesting to know what kind of kinks can we expect.
Being a Romance story we know vanilla sex for sure, Dev said no Harem, but what about Toys, exhibitionism, BDSM, body modification (nipple piercings for example)?
It is likely that all of the love interests will use toys.
At least a couple of them will be involved in public sex/exhibitionism and voyeurism.
There will be some light BDSM.
And I'm not sure if it has been posted here but I did an image for patrons which revealed that one of the love interests has pierced nipples.

Is there any kind of sharing, I mean will the love interests have sex with other men? Please say No.

No there won't be. I mean possibly whoever you reject will go on and date other men, but not sure if they will or not. Won't be any other men before that.
