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

[Wonder Wolf]

Expect this game having the same progress as AWAM - so we are here at the same moment we were 3 years ago with AWAM

Seriously you comparing AWAM to Hillside? These are two completely different games and above all, very big differences between the two developers. It's dumb to comparing DarkBlue to Lust & Passion who for almost 5 years have been developing a game about a mother and wife who maybe starts sleeping finally with a man other than her husband sometime in the next 15 years. Sorry, but to be honest, a nun could also play a wife and mother and don't need to feel guilty because nothing much happens in the game. Darkblue, the developer of Hillside on the other hand, tries to develop feelings first between the characters and makes this very believable, and then there is the acceptable length of a Hillside update, which is better than a 10 minute update from Sophia in the classroom after 6 months of waiting for a new AWAM update.

Is that 31st May 2022 or 31st May 2023?


Hopefully the MC gets to have some fun with Emily this update.

Punching a fellow dev when he's down.

Let it go WW, some want emotional development in a game, some don't, and prefer something less complicated, a little more mindless.

Just FYI, imagining successing sex scenes takes about 10 to 30 minutes. Going after conversation and emotional discussion (more or less profound) is quite a long process. At some point we should decide what we want and go pick up games that answer our choices, don't you think ?

Do not compare hillside to that garbage.

even if you’re right about sex scenes pacing, the writing and story quality of hillside more than makes up for it.

Wonder Wolf was asking how long it would take between MC and Charlotte to confess their feelings to each other. View attachment 1832492

but then... i was all a ploy by Mr. bodyguard and Emma, to get Charlotte to confess.

MC faking its death could make Charlotte confess her love ^^

not at all..... AWAM is a joke. We get full episodes when its time to update, idc how long it takes but we get a fulll episode. AWAM updates in 8 months and gives people 5 or 10mins of gameplay. The only thing you can say is remotely the same is sex scenes and thats because this game is building up story wise, would make no sense to have one here where as AWAM is miles past the point where he should of done one.

i legit dont care for sex scenes on this game, id rather it comes when its time, each update im just waiting to carry on the story and see how it plays out.

I 100% agree with this statement as we have had a lot more content in one update of "Hillside" than the last two updates of "aWam" combined

never understood why people get hung on no sex so far if you want sex there are tons games for that me i like my vn to have a story

 

[Smarmint]

Exactly. Hillside is one of my favorite VNs, definitely in my top 20. I think the pacing is more than reasonable. While a few people would perhaps be satisfied, if the MC suddenly got it on with Charlotte and/or Emma next update, it would be a bizarre twist to the story, and seem quite out of place in the story with the characters and their motives so far.

I think the pacing is completely fitting to the story. Hopefully Darkblue is starting to feel better, and get back on track to an update every 2-3 months like in the past.

That is debatable. The sex scenes have to be coherent and/or serve the story. The scenes must be build around the story and not the other way around. Otherwise, that will hurt (the story that is)

PS : I'm not trolling, really. Your point made me think about that cxx

 

[cxx]

yea if sexscenes fit story and aren't just random like going on brothel.

 

[Canto Forte]

MC is not a little boy Charli can keep locked in the basement while the hooded creep molests both her kids.

MC met sweet and cute babes in this game, who are open and ready for some adventure.
MC is going mad with pent up frustration for all the restraints many nonsensical Charli is
weighing him down under.

well charl has even more pent up frustration.

MC does not seems to be highly frustrated. He developed feelings for <insert-chosen-LI-here>, but with all the time we can read what he thinks, he never was impatient or frustrated. He's not in heat ^^ and beside Lucy, all other LIs are not experiencing sexual frustrations that things are not going further.

Contrary to other games, Hillside does not allow us to shape MC's personality and feelings to match the player, we can only direct his choice
