VN Ren'Py Hillside [v0.15 First Half] [DarkBlue]

[Naxos]

short but sweet update, love that emma saw Zak for the shit that he is.

The problem is that as said in this post below, she so sheltered, Zak will just spin a few words about how much he really loves her and Jenny meant nothing and it was the first time he did that or it was the drugs or booze and sweet naive Emma will be swooning and part her legs for him faster the Charlotte will kick the MC out or storm out the sauna in the next update.

My problem with her isn't her trauma or lack of trust for men it's her total failure to prepare her daughter for the realities of Hillside. She's literally setting her daughter up to have the exact same experience. Hiding the existence of the danger does not actually protect her from the danger if anything it makes her more susceptible. I would go so far as saying Charlotte has made every single wrong decision possible short of just delivering her daughter right to the door step of a rapist.

Charlotte knows better than anyone what Hillside is like and chose not to educate her daughter so that she would be prepared.

Also I am pretty sure most people would put out a hit too if they had the money and connections to do such a thing.

I am angry and I hate you, DarkBlue... the update ended just as it was getting to a major story development and now I can't wait for another update. The story is just so good! Another 2 months of wondering what's gonna happen next. Damn it. I hate you! xD

I'll save you 2 months of wondering, the won't talk. One will leave the sauna and we'll have another "week" of everyone thinking the worst of the mc again and how fast can Charlotte get rid of him.

So bitterly dissapointed after this update. 1 step forward 20 steps backwards.
Right now all the women except Emma can go suck a bag of donkey dicks, especially Suzi and Kaylah or whatever that womans name is. Even my goddess Charlotte is in the dog box after this one.

Mah maybe in 2 years it will be worth playing again.

It is interesting indeed. I don't think she is sexually unaware, as she was clearly horny looking at douchebag Zak's movie.. She is just beyond innocent. And the way she is written she keeps treating MC as a father figure, not a "daddy". So for her to start becoming sexually interested in MC will be.... hard. Very hard thing to pull realistically. I personally don't mind if this is a very long path.. I like super long stories. But I would not expect any lewd time with her anytime soon.

The I feel funny in my stomach line is too much even for a 13 years old. It doesn't help the character either because we believe she is a teenager (totally legal in her country of course) and not loli territory.

I personally don't mind if this is a very long path.. I like super long stories. But I would not expect any lewd time with her anytime soon.

I like also that some of the paths are long before anything sexual, as long as they continue having nice interactions between them

Lucy and Kaylah are the ones that will have lewd scenes first, for sure

Charlie, she won't be avoiding any kind of contact with men to have something sexual anytime soon, that takes time and develop trust between them

Emma is too naive and sweet, but i don't know, i think she will start soon trying to kiss the mc, i have that feeling. Just not in a lustful way

And Suzi, well, for have something between them, they first needs to like each other at least, and i don't see that happening anytime soon

 

[Havik79]

How long has it been since Emmas mum was abused, has it said, maybe Emma acts like she is 13 because she has a sheltered childhood and is still mentally 13.

 

[Ragnar]

Yeah.. that phrase made me cringe a little. I can do without realism, provided the story and characters are consistent though.

It would be cute if her role was to be a daughter figure only but she's a love interest

 

[Ayhsel]

How long has it been since Emmas mum was abused, has it said, maybe Emma acts like she is 13 because she has a sheltered childhood and is still mentally 13.

If you see my last comments, that was pretty much my thesis, but that it would make more sense if she was 15.

It would cute if her role was to be a daughter figure only but if she's a love interest

Hahaha well. It is what it is... Problem is that the heart wants what the heart wants.. (I am full of tautologies today!!) And I want that cutie to be happy.. and other things..

I disagree on your opinion with Suzi. She feels strong emotions and strong emotions can change. She does not even need to like MC, and the first time it can be a sexual thing without liking each other. I hope it is one of those complex and potentially unhealthy relationships going back and forth.

In fact, I wrote a few weeks ago that I was afraid of the approach dev was going to take with Suzi, as it seemed it was going towards the usual (and boring) girl hates guy, guy saves girl, girl goes from being a ferocious cat to a cute puppy. I love Suzy how it is (my second favorite behind Emma). Luckily dev told me she is not planning of making Suzy a cute puppy any time soon.

Gentlemen you are overanalyzing and nitpicking at certain aspects when the entire script is laughably garbage from beginning to finish. Just in the update before the last you had a public figure assaulting a world-class model in the middle of a public place with no fucks given. If the script had any semblance of mediocrity this scene would not have been written (instead maybe he could be drugging her? Coercing her to come to his room?) In any reality such a scenario would cause a shit storm of unimaginable proportions that would bankrupt and close the establishment that hosted this gala. I am not even going to speak about what would happen to the guy, he would be the Harvey Weinstein or the Epstein of this world, just worse and retarded, as he was imbecilic enough to attack someone in a public place out in the open!!!

Don't even get me started about the stupidity of having a professional model who works with designer brands in the industry who has ~instability issues~ and gets clinically hysterical and mentally unstable around men. Modeling career is extremely cutthroat, and you have to be tough as nails to survive in it. She would not have lasted, the vast majority of fashion designers are men, the majority of whom work behind the scenes in prep work are men, the top 5 modeling agencies in the world are led by men. The entire plot is simply retarded. But that is fine, we are all here for one reason, and either this reason is achieved now or in 6 updates from now it doesn't matter really. But arguing and nitpicking about a clearly retarded plot is just a waste of time in my opinion. Let's not pretend that this is something which is not.

 

[Sicansios]

But maybe Emma (and maybe Suzi) aren't real LIs, maybe having points with them is just to be more accepted or integrated, and is better for a future relation with either Charlie or Suzy

And i don't think Charlie will allow any kind of relationship between the mc and Emma or Suzi, she'll be mad

Hate sex.

I really want her being a real challenge. I like that " angry cat with sharp claws! "

That would be a huge fuckoff to a lot of players.. Me in particular as those are my two fav girls.. but I guess many here are at least for Emma.

And the way in which we tell Mom that the cute little daughter is doing his bodyguard is going to be an awesome moment of conflict, so I really hope we get to something like that.

Makes for a way more interesting heroine, isn't it?

 

[Viatovic]

There needs to be a balance between slow burn and filler.
This last update was filler. Not a single real event, the story didn't move forward... we have come to expect better, so let's hope this was a one time mistake.

That would suit me fine. Emma will be my mc's daughter.

Suzi can well do anything she likes as long as it's somewhere else. I've completely written her off as a character, just one to skip through when on screen.

She's probably my favourite

Your arguments may be valid, but I doubt that they will stop anyone from discussing varying aspects of this game. It's what people do when they like a game. Watch as the discussions do NOT stop.

Charlotte's relationship with Emma is complex. While it is true that she fears (with good reason) for her daughter's safety, and thus the hiring of the MC, she also wants Emma to become less shy and introverted, which implies letting Emma go out more with friends. I believe that explains Charlotte allowing Emma to go to that party.

Atleast Naive Emma knows now who's Zak lmao she thought he loved her

 

[Canto Forte]

In game fan art ... becaue socialites are Fxxxing retarded when it comes to crowd control.​

Slow burn game omg

is there any fan art with some action?

Not a bad update storywise even if some situations are a bit stale at this point, like Charlotte hating Dwayne presence for no good reason. Zak scene could have been more hardcore but I understand the Dev, the ntr crowd would be seething otherwise.
About the time for this update and the content, rendering everything at a higher resolution takes more time and if the game reachs its next Patreon goal it will take even more time to make animations. I'm not a fan of animations because of that, too much time wasted rendering for a little payoff, you can do great scenes with renders alone.

Hope to see a messed up Jenny in the next update because Zak don't give a fuck about her. That would be a good way for Emma to get at least a friend outside the family circle and to get rid of her infatuation with that little fag at the same time.

How do you know she's over him?! wait and see the next update, maybe she will think that Jenny tricked Zak into sleeping with her and she will no want to believe that he's an asshole.

I have been saying exactly the same thing for months now. The benefit of animations does not pay at all the costs!!
I do wish for music to set the mood of the scenes, though. Like that would substantially improve the game, if done right.


You are right!! I mean, I had been planning of killing that mutherfucker the moment Emma said she likes him, but fuck it.. my baby is a bit gullible!!

We need to dispose of the douchbag fast!

I don't think you could be more wrong if you tried. This isn't a porn game, it's a adult visual novel. The lewd scenes will come when it fits the narrative, not before. And yes, most people WILL wait for it so stop saying "most" and "many others" will stop playing it just because you want some fapping material.

There are like thousand of games with unlimited lewd scenes where you dad dies and you fuck your whole family.
Fortunately this is not your typical step mom and step sis game so it's a slow build up game so romance scene will be there once it fits and if you still want lewd scene sorry mate this ain't your type of game

FAN SIGNATURES ~

More siggies has landed safely, hope you guys like it and feel free use them

Am i one of the rare people here, thinking it is fine with the pace, or that we are still not into Bed Acrobatic with one of the Lloyds?

let me explain why:

It seems to me that db wants to be that all of the Girls should be on the same "level" in a beginning LI (Relationship) and Suzi is still far behind, bc she had way lesser "Screentime" than the others.
So until the Suzi Route isn't processing we won't see anything serious on another Route.

And tbh, i think it wouldn't be good for the Story itself, if "we" could "bang" one of the Girls in the current state of the Story, bc that would cause more and more trouble.

Again let me explain:

- Suzi would be complete unneccessary in the plot, maybe as the good guy we are we help her out with Johno, but this is it, bc why should we care much about her meanwhile we are focussing on the Job, or we have quality time with her Aunt, Sister or Mother. (or some Sidechicks like Kaylah)

- Lucy (again for me) the easiest solution, bc we could spend some time together after we carried Emma to school. But i think this wouldn't satisfy alone any Woman on a long term, bc alot of things would missing being in a real relationship and not only on some sort of Tinder date....

- Charlie and Emma well here is also this "living in a household together" Problem...
Imagine we could now spend the night together with Charlie in her Bedroom and Emma will notice it. This will harm her confident even more after the Zak Incident, or she starts to rebell.
Well and of course Charlie would fire "us" in a nanosecond if she would find "us" together in Bed....
Or do some people want to see some scenes in a cheap Motel (Bang take it and deal with it Girl), taking her precious virginity without the obligatory romantic Beach/Movie/Dinner Evening...
I don't think so.

P.S. And please people have also in mind, it is his (afaik) first Game so, let him please make some Mistakes be it time or anything, the last thing i would is, that he is discouraged and abandoned this Story.

P.P.S Maybe i'll post later on some Spoiler again how i'll see what could be in the Future, bc i noticed one or two things in this update...

MC botched his protection detail while not standing by his VIP 24/7.
MC botched the defensive gig by not staying in the room with traumatized / crazed VIP.
Denzel form man on fire would whop MC with a meaty table peg and cuff him to Charlotte.

 

[TJ03]

MINOR SPOILER IN THIS QUESTION POSSIBLY IF HAVENT PLAYED

in the update when MC punches the mirror and thinks if he stayed and stopped the assho that emma would still be alive, has the one been mentioned before and im just missing something or something new and we dont know who this emma is, just want make sure havent missed something important over last year of playing

 

[Canto Forte]

She is the action .. I was shocked! Shocked I tell ya ...
MC is not throbbing her whole existance up and down Hollywood.​
