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

[SweatPicle]

We discussed it a lot on Hillside's Discord, and we more or less all agreed that Zak is not the stalker. (he is probably the one standing in front of the house saying she is fat and his plan is in motion, but not the one following her around, taking pictures or breaking inside to leave semen-soked photos). The kid is not that brilliant.

As for his plan to get to Charlotte, yes of course it's bound to fail. That's why he's not the stalker. He didn't think this through, he is just too dumb and wants to be "a legend", well I'll just sit back with a nice bowl of popcorn and watch MC turning him into bolognese if he tries ^^

I think Zak "looks like" the stalker by design, but there is much to it than that.

zack sayd he was in the house before, and how he stated that was more like he is the stalker. the one following emma everywhere is johno, who take pictures of her.

 

[Chronos169]

Well i think a little bit different about it.
I do agree that we have 2 or maybe more Stalkers.
Johno as a paparazzi has the equip and possible knowledge being avoided to catch, bc it is his "job".
And maybe we have seen Zak standing in front of the house.

But on the other hand there is a sample with DNA (semen) on one of the letters. So it would be "easy" in future updates to catch both and have a proof and the case is solved.

But "what if" this happend and surprise, surprise the DNA Sample does not match with both of them, so there must be more people involved.
From Detective Carter (my favourite Bad Guy in the Story) up to this stupid friends from Zak.

We will see...

And i wouldn't be surprised, that we will see in the next update a Newspaper letter, that a body from a young guy was found...
Poor, poor David....

Either that, or he is kept around to end up with Emma should you not choose her as love interest.

Dude comes off as an incel, so hopefully not.

Hello Dark Blue

I love the game renders, and the caracter's most of them have some real caractere's that's a good point's

BUT i m also agree with a lot of things that made hahn81 now.

The mc's seames to be an elite soldier bodyguard RIGHT ?
So that s mean's most of them come frome elite special force, elite force of police etc

To make the story's with a better structure and interest i thinks its not bullshit to consider it.
This kind of professional have a lot of contact, habit s to swimming in black water's and as specialise in information deal and know well, who what do what...

this kind of man have a cold head, contrôle there mind and primal instinct as well, they are training to that.
And know use AS WELL to the interest...of themself or for the job they have to do. Blind trust are definitively erase from there mind.

Mc's is too much passive and as a think and action of a marchmallow.
(but if it's to deceive his world then it is more than credible ! )

It think at this point, the story's really miss some action, rebond and surprise...and sex of course (after all we are in modeling words ?) s

Look someone come inside in the house so easely and he didn t surch to know about this further ? same if this kind of event on what happen can be a simple "coincidence" ?

No camera on street (inside a protect block of famous people ?) next to the door, enemis of the past or new, neighboor around ?

And why still present all guy's as a doucht bag around approach girls and sex things ?

Does those girl's are they only in purple rose buble gum modeling world ?? this kind of world is definit as a shark den.
Does she not have desire and choice to do, i think relation / sex is so much fix on thing's of agressivity and NTR things)

So about this 3 roads for the mc's

1 fidelity
2 harem road's maybe ?
3 mc's who love but also can resist and hurt's without want hurting ?

And for the end zack story kids miss of crédibility's too. maybe he want to do do a sextape and make a chantage after ?
Or does he have a power father....But this kind of thing's are use thousand time...

I just want to make some constructive point of view.

thank's for read

 

[B-52reloaded]

Yeah that moment with David at the police station was strange, but i think it actually might be a "bait & switch" tactic by dev... i think the detective might have had to do something with older Emma's death... specially since Charlotte says it as a fact (to her at least, we as a player and even less a MC don't yet know what really happened to older Emma) that she was murdered and fears for her life... she might know more then she is saying here.

My guess is that David´s beaten up corpse will be found at the street by that very detective, and since there are witnesses to the kid being beaten up by Zak our lovely Zak will be charged with manslaughter or else and disappear in police custody as a warning to the other douchebags that Charlotte Lloyd is not to be targeted EXCEPT by Jason and Harry Wein... ah Wolff !!

 

[Skylaroo]

But that she is overhearing obvious outspoken insults by Zak is just not understandable. Like she got toast in her head instead a brain... come on. And on top of that Emma did catch him having casual sex just like that and it doesnt bother her??? Why ruining this character so much?

Hooo boy. Emma's character is actually very common IRL, especially when someone young and inexperienced, and towards someone that they idolized. Infatuation is unhealthy, and that's where Emma is at right now in her life. She's blinded into thinking that Zak loves her just because he noticed her. You might not like it, but it's very real and common.

And now the main antagonist for a elite-soldier-bodyguard is a dumb douchebag teenager star? Come on... thats just lame.

I feel like you aren't paying attention to the story. The main antagonist so far is Jason.

And what annoys me very much too, is that the MC is NEVER speaking out what he is thinking... he wants to protect Emma but letting her run in the open Knife called Zak... come on... argh. Iam just angry how this game turned out in the last couple of updates.

I don't know if you've ever dealt with teenagers or not, but one thing for sure is that you won't get anywhere by confronting them and telling them that they're wrong. Zak is perfect in Emma's eyes. No matter what mistakes he did (like having sex with another girl), she'd be willing to forgive and forget it. MC confronting Emma about Zak simply wouldn't work because she would only believe what she wants to. Until it's proven beyond doubt that she's wrong. This requires evidence, and therefore, MC biding his time while working together with Charlotte.

I just want to make some constructive point of view.

I'll be honest, it's too late for your suggestions. MC's personality is already set. It doesn't make sense to change his behavior now.

Not very agree with you, an evoluation of caracter's and always desirable in the creation of the history, this is precisely allows to enrich it, and possibillity s of correction..

story move, caractere s move so mind and point of you move.....

 

[Hahn1900]

I don't know where you're getting the idea that Zak is the main antagonist (stalker).

ok Main-antagonist may be a bit to much, cause there is Harry... but i think Zak is the "stalker" cause he admitted that hew knew where Emma and Charlotte lived, and even that he was in this house before (in a monologue line) so whats the point in that if he isnt the stalker?

And i think the stalking part is just another part in his plan to make Emma miserable and to get close to Charlotte eventually... and if this is the case, thats really dumb.

But i admit, if iam wrong i will take this back... but than there has to be another "bad person" cause Harry has nothing to do with the stalker, that is for sure.

zack sayd he was in the house before, and how he stated that was more like he is the stalker.

exactly! Everything else dont make any sense... of course he was trespassing in Charlottes house and has to be the "stalker" (or should i say, fake-stalker) just to drive Emma crazy so she will run to him when he will pretend to get rid of the stalker (will probably ask one of his followers to pretend)

What other reason is there to give away that Zak already was in the house?

If there is more to it and another guy is trespassing and turns out to be the "real-stalker" it will be ridiculous and just too much...

Johno was paid by Zak to get the photos (some from Charlotte too of course), Zak placed them and wrote the letters and send the mean messages to Emma. And Zak paid the detective too cause otherwise he wouldnt get away with it, its obvious that the detective in the end of this chapter will do something to David to shut him down. Thats it... if the DEV will come up with another thing about the stalker story it would be really weird and would not make any sense why Zak is acting like he was in the house and even paid the detective (for what? only sending mean messages via handy? Of course not..., the detective should cover up the trespassing and break ins too, and the letters)

For Harry, that will be a whole other thing.

And like this, i repeat myself... this kind of plan and acting doesnt fit at all the dumb and stupid douchebag that Zak is... no way a stupid guy like him can pull off something like that. Mean messages and bullying? Yes. Paying a Detective in advance for breaking in a house with security system just to get pussy? Never ever. Not believable, but the only explanation so far for the things that he has said (or thought) in the game.

 

[dacris69]

nice update, game is finaly picking up

 

[RolandG.]

It took a while, but here it is, the latest update.
And I have to say, I think it's great.
The story remains exciting.
Rarely do I feel sorry for a character in a game here, and just as rarely do I hate a character....
This game has both, and that's good the way it is!

 

[fastflier]

this new chapter seems a bit strange to me. the transitions are bad. it jumps a lot of details and that's what this game intrigues me the most. I hope it doesn't do this just in order to move up the pace.

 

[underoath27]

I don't think Zak is the stalker, because he's just chasing Emma to get Charlie, and the stalker clearly is stalking Emma. I don't believe Zak would stalk Emma if he thinks she is ugly, bla bla bla...

 

[Hahn1900]

Being a douchebag doesn't make you stupid.
Being a good actor and pick-up artist means he at least has very high social intelligence.
So he probably is pretty intelligent in general, even if he's a psychopath/sociopath.

I think his interactions with Emma are realistic as well, because Emma very very clearly is mentally retarded.
He basically is stealing a lolly from a baby with his intellect and Emma's retardedness.

thats one of my big problems for now... how unbelievable retarded Emma is. Shes supposed to be a main interest, possible Love interest for the MC, but man... how she gets worse with every update. For now she is at some low point i just dont care anymore about her. This need to change... very soon.

 

[Canto Forte]

MC can actually fuck a totally legit wonderful realistically gorgeous babe of Charl sista?
Where in the hell gates of this game is that scene?
That is all this game needed to actually be something.
Even movies with the most cuning plot have sex scenes ffs!

So I just finished episodes 9 and 10 in one go and here's my thoughts on the game:

For me the game is mostly a wholesome daughter-raising-simulator.
Emma is clearly mentally retarded, but in a very sweet way.
Her mental age is about half her physical age and she will need a bit longer to grow up, but she will become a normal girl eventually.
I enjoyed all the scenes with her, especially after she warms up to MC and speaks more than 2 words, and wish she was my daughter.
I don't even want to fuck her, even though she's the prettiest character in the game.

The story itself is interesting as well.
So far it was never boring and predictable and I like that it addresses some of the stuff that's been happening in Hollywood for a long time now.
The writing isn't exactly a masterpiece though, and characters talk like Barbie and Ken dolls sometimes (the MC and Emma's mother).

I never really cared about Emma's mother either, and forgot why I didn't fuck her (much hotter) slutty sister instead, after stopping at episode 8.
But in the final scene of episode 10 I now care about her as well.

Overall a pretty good game.
I'd rate it 4 or 5 stars, but since the developer is too lazy implement audio and I only played the game because the (very good) audio mod exist, it's only 4 stars for me once I write a review.
It's a shame the developer and the audio mod guy don't work together.

It bothered me as well in the beginning, but girls like Emma do exist, and I came to like it once I simply accepted that she is mentally retarded and not a normal teenage girl.
I realize the developer probably didn't do this intentionally and he just can't write some characters properly, but if you see her as mentally retarded everything makes perfect sense.

This game is unrealistic as pure evil - things only happen if you let them happen.
MC and Emma bothh know the guy drugs and rapes young girls, gerts them drunk and bangs them.
Everyone of his friends calls him out on this exact behavior, MC and Emma know 4 a damn fact.
No prottective detail in the world would keep his criminal behavior from Charli + police.

Good luck standing by while these girls get abused left and right, gamers, this game likes to hurt you!

yeah maybe it makes sense, but i have to say... it just doesnt work for me to like her in the way it has to be for the game. It annoys me more than building up deep feelings for her.

 

[Canto Forte]

You are a legal guardian if she is indeed incapacitated and you better start acting like a parent!

You want her flesh? You could wash her body, massage her lady bumps, help her apply body lotion to her hot spots so hard to get to, braid her hair, go make some fake tattoos and hang out in some exciting adult time:
- bowling, paintballing, adventure parks, rollercoeasters, you name it!

 

[mcnero]

I don't like "gay" fetish, but I would be happy if Mc f*cks Zak to death...

 

[Canto Forte]

There are machines for that .. did none a y”all watch saw ???

I don't like "gay" fetish, but I would be happy if Mc f*cks Zak to death...

Fucking a guy to death doesn't really work, unless there's very rough fisting or horse dicks involved.

 

[deadh30775n]

What does the extra scenes include?
