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

[HillsideVN]

wait, are you telling there are actually multiple paths
so far ive seen only one path - Charlotte's path...

There are, but they are not fully branched. Currently limited to different dialogue and the odd additional/missing scene. They will deviate more as the romantic relationships develop and eventually lead to different endings.

 

[KoGa3]

On all paths, Emma begins to develop romantic feelings for the MC.

On Charlotte's path, these feelings do not deepen, as her desire for the MC to marry Charlotte and become her father takes precedence.

On Lucy's path, the situation is more complicated. Since the MC is not going to become her father, that conflict is absent. However, she does not want to interfere in her aunt's relationship with the MC. As a result, her feelings continue to grow, but she struggles with them.

On all other paths, Emma's feelings for the MC develop more strongly, leading to the possibility of you choosing her as your love interest.

How Joshy will see this post:

 

[Dessolos]

For my part, I actually see 6 paths:

1. and main path is the Charlotte Plus path (and I think that is the main path of HillsideVN ), in which all of the Lloyd's relationship points are collected

In the other paths, the other members of the Lloyd's are neglected or ignored
2. the pure Charlotte path
3. the pure Luzy path
4. the pure Emma path
5. the pure Suzi path
6. the professional path, all are ignored

[edit] I politely decline the other ladies offered.

you forgot a 7th path the MC becomes a Villain!!!

well, if one makes a joke and no one gets it, that could only mean it was a bad joke (attempt)
im aware of plans/paths, and was merely joking wondering htf anyone can play any route apart from the Charlote's ...

Apologies. I wasn't sure if you were joking or not.
Is it too late to laugh now?

Ah, you know. Take comfort in the old expression Pearls before swine.
And before anyone accuses me of snobbery, I'm definitely a pig.

 

[TonyMurray]

Personally I just don't see her that way, I love Emma and feel protective of her but it's definitely in more of a father, daughter way than anything else.
Now Charlotte on the other hand, never have I wished more for a character than to see her have a truly happy ending with the MC, see them sail off into the sunset together. Noone deserves it more.

I think it's more about how Emma sees you. You're only going to see the real romance side of it if you're chasing Emma anyway, so if you don't see Emma like that, you're going to pick another path (clearly Charlotte, for you) meaning Emma is going to repress those feelings she has.

 

[Jarulf]

Emma like that, you're going to pick another path (clearly Charlotte, for you) meaning Emma is going to repress those feelings she has.

I hope those repressed feelings doesn't mean she'll throw herself in frustration at the next bad boy that appears.
I really don't want to have to kill more people to keep my kid safe. I will though.

 

[Joshy92]

There are other girls besides Emma? I never noticed.

Beautiful render.

See, I don't mind a good story, but it definitely feels like the dev is scrambling how to approach continuing the story now that the real stalker is dead. And the path they chose (there's always a bigger fish) is kinda nutty IMHO. I mean, MC - the ex-military tough guy that's been in the private security industry since he got out of the military - is easily outran by Charlotte, a woman in her 40s that does Yoga (no gym/track has been mentioned AFAIK). So, if he is not physically gifted to pose a near-unbeatable physical threat to the villains, what can he actually do to help Charlotte against an international human trafficking organization that wants her gone?

Be real now, the MC is as impulsive as Suzi when it comes to Emma, let alone when it comes to life-or-death threats to her. He is gonna get smoked in any remotely-realistic version of these events...

I feel like this game has a lot of potential, but the dialogue is so incredibly stilted that it does not do it any favours. I don't mind the lack of sex scenes, but even the one we have with that blonde supermodel chick is poorly done (literally just a couple of renders).

It honestly comes across like the dev is trying to tell a cool story, but feels forced to make in an AVN to earn more money, yet completely ignores the main reason it should qualify as an Adult Visual Novel - the eroticism.

Not to mention the "sudden" shift in Emma viewing the MC in a sexual manner, when the MC has had next to zero erotic moments with her, nor does he have any romantic/sexual thoughts or feelings for her.

Demand a refund.

It's amazing to me the amount of people who come into this thread bitching about a lack of sex scenes because this is an "adult" visual novel. Does the prefix "adult" automatically mean "full frontal nudity and fucking"? People have been calling shows like The Simpsons "adult" animation for over 30 years, and I'm struggling trying to remember Bart ever bending Marge over the dining room table and railing her from behind in front of Homer.

You obviously haven't been to the Rule34 web site.

I struggle to understand why anyone would call Simpsons an "adult" animation either, as there is barely (if any at all) swearing to start with.

And besides, I already mentioned several times why this VN lags in the non-erotic adult stuff too. The dialogue simply doesn't have that natural flow and vocabulary of the characters feels like Google Translate was used - they all sounds the same. No personality in word choice.

Then for fucks sake leave the thread already if the game is that bad for you. Have a nice day.

I mean clearly this game isn't your cup of tea everyone likes different things for me this game is easily in my top 10 or top 15 games. unsure need to update my list was top 3 last time I updated it. But makes me wonder why bother with a thread on a game you dislike so much. if it was me i'd would of stopped looking at this thread if I truly disliked the game.
