Hi, guys.

I had hoped v0.12 would be finished before the end of the month, but that's not going to happen now.

I'm not happy that it's taking me this long as I wanted to go back to smaller more frequent updates, so I'm going to pause my Patreon for next month while I finish it.



Thanks,
DB​
I don't know for me it hasn't been that long since the last update I don't mind waiting

I actually prefer a bigger update

I really enjoyed the story and rendering of this game, I described it in the reviews, please introduce me a similar game, that is, its story and rendering should be as powerful as Hillside.

Hi, I really loved Hillside and its special father-daughter relationship with Emma. So, I wanted to ask you if anyone knows of a similar game with a father-daughter relationship without too much sex scenes in general, and especially not with the daughter, please.
well the point of f and d games is that there's sex between them, single again could be what you are after.

+1 this. Single again probably fits your requirement perfectly. It's also fantastic and worth supporting if you're able.

Beyond that it's somewhat slim pickings. Not an obvious father/daughter dynamic but Melody is good for that as there's paths you can go down where you support her but don't... well... yeah.

Avalon and a Petal Amongst Thorns by Lockheart are also very good but a bit more in your face about it all.

yeah i prefer bigger updates too... BUT compared to others games and devs, the updates for this game were not that big considering the development time... and there arent even animations in the game(not really).

so its fair to say, Darkblue is a little bit on the slower side compared to others DEVs. No offense, but it is how it is... iam not overly complaining here, just stating a fact. But the fact that he is rather slow, made me cancel the membership a year ago. And the last update was not that big to change my mind for half a year development-time. So i will refresh the membership when i want to play the new update just once and thats it... others like philly, DPC, Drifty and many more are doing a way better job compared to darkblue.. showing way more content in higher quality in the same or even shorter development-time.

But i really really love this game and its approach, cause its so different to all the other games around here. But yeah DB dont put enough content in time to get the whole time support i think... its just not enough for me.



And for the neverending sex talk in this thread... guys... Darkblue made it very clear by the start of this project, that this is NOT a lewd/porn game and never will be...

If you would have supported his work at one point you know that.

Its pretty safe to assume that there will be no sex between MC and the main-LIs until the end of the game... and i wouldnt even bet on it than.

Lucy will get most likely some sex with the MC during the journey... but i dont see that coming with Emma or Charlotte soon... maybe even not in the end.

And all the harem, incest and whatnot talkers... youre looking into the wrong game... This game is nearly only about story and a romantic build-up (in a somewhat realistic approach), lewd scenes dont have a priority and would be out of place too at this point... i would love to see some lewd things with charlotte or/and Emma in the end of the game, but it would so not make any sense for now... even just a kiss would be a HUGE step for Charlotte and Emma at this point, and i mean a real kiss, not just a peck which we already saw.

That's why this game is so awesome to me, it's focused on the story, the development of the characters and the relationships between them. It's a feeling you get in the best games, like Being a DIK. Where sure the sex scenes are plentiful, especially if you take the full DIK route but the developer managed to balance that with the fact that he created the CHICK route. Where the sex scenes are much rarer, and thanks to that we can better focus on the development of the characters and the story throughout the episodes.

But adding sex scenes in Hillside before the end of the game would make absolutely no sense. And I'm glad the developer didn't, it could have taken us out of the story or even caused some level of incoherence. Throughout the story, the MC develops stress and paranoia in order to be able to protect Emma, it's eating him up like it was his own daughter. Adding sex scenes in the middle of all this tension would not make sense and certainly would not be useful.

I both agree and disagree. Pacing is very important and if you want to tell a story you need to keep a reign on it but at the same time there is user expectation to play into. There's no point in trying to attach to a story to a shag fest of a game, cause no one cares (too much), but at the same time going down say the Wife and Mother route means you just end up with a lot of subs hanging about going "fucks sake, we're 20 releases in and we're still getting nothing".
