VN Ren'Py Hillside [v0.16.1] [DarkBlue]

[Dessolos]

I don't think any game is perfect - besides we all have our "preferences" which although some might share in one's outlook, there will be many who are not in universal alignment. AVN's like this one need to have slow points and fast ones: episodes that lay the groundwork for the upcoming action we are all hoping for (maybe). Give the Dev a break, I'm sure many will feel they want the action sooner; the Dev decides that though, not us. My opinion is (nobody needs to share my opinion) we observe each character growing up, changing for the better, learning from their mistakes - this allows all of us to invest in our favourite path. Sitting back and just enjoying the ride is my plan. I hope I don't die before this ends.

I couldn't agree more part of the reason it's my 2nd favorite AVN and why I plan replay this after every date at bare minimum because It's an enjoyable ride for start to finish for me.

While i agree the update feels a bit short (but i'm so interested by the story at the same time that i'm always wanting more anyways ) , there are still very important story points in this release :

- the MC gets back all the photos apparently from the paparazi after enough punching.
- if on the Lucy route, this chapter have Lucy relationship with the MC acknowledged by Charlotte that is supporting her sister fully on that, no more need to hide.
- if on the Charlotte route, Charlotte and the MC finally acknowledge their feeling for each other, and even despite her major trauma Charlotte still attempt a kiss, additionally Emma realise that finally she has the dad she dreamed to have.
- after we knew the police at Hillside was too corrupt to do anything in any ways, now it's the turn of the FBI that is too corrupt to do anything against even a small fish like Jason ...
- Selena (Agent Fox) become a possible LI (only if you're not on Lucy or Charlotte routes) for future updates

Still no punches or baseball bat hitting repeatedly Jason or Harry faces unfortunately

I am on the Lucy route. I really hope this means that the next update will focus on her. Overall this was a great update and can't wait to have more time with Lucy now that Charlotte has approved of the relationship.

I need to do a Lucy path one of these days but at the same time hard for me not to do a Charlotte path. Probably only way I'd play a Lucy path at this point is if I play one about same time as a Charlotte path. As this is one of those games I like to replay once every 3-4 months or when an update hits but with a long time between replays Id probably default myself back to Charlotte path as I like her probably to much.

My first playthrough was with Lucy, and i got into the same problem : i liked that one so much that i had difficulty to start another playthrough for Charlotte to see the content on her side of the story.
Definitively a sign of well wrote characters if they can impact the reader like that.

Welcome to Hillside!

I still think he's milking his patrons.
Look, the first 9 releases took him 14 months, after that the time between releases became longer, and now it's about 2 releases a year. And then he was probably a rookie dev, now he's more experienced, things have to move faster and smoother now. How to explain it?
I think this is a completely broken Patreon system that encourages developers to milk their patrons instead of making a complete game. If you like the game, give the developer $10-20, but if the game doesn't have regular updates, cancel your subscription.
Please to all patrons of this game on Patreon, cancel your subscriptions, that's the only way you will save this game from turning into a scam. Dev is a good example of corruption after the great success of his game in the beginning. I assume the next releases will contain even less content and the time between releases will be longer and in the end game will be abandoned. Only when he sees he's losing money maybe will he start to move. Although, if you're happy with tiny updates twice a year without worthwhile content, keep feeding him.

This is why I buy any game that I actually played thru f95 if they come out on steam.

But I fucking refuse to participate in Patreon system. It's both anti consumer and anti innovation.

two years and still no second scene with Lucy? I thought they were dating and she being a horny girl just doesn't put out for MC? ain't no way I can believe that. story isn't even that good for there to be no sex scenes. We still can't avoid MC just being the most unprofessional bodyguard ever and going beyond self defense to murder a crooked cop. Idk feels weird, man

there was in charlotte's house which emma heard and said to herself that mc must marry her mother so he becomes her daddy.

Best girl ever <3 she's too cute for this world

I agree but isn't the case for every Lloyd woman anyway.

 

[Dessolos]

yeah best girl for me is Charlotte I think she is #2 on my LI list

 

[R1k0]

Someone took my words too seriously, come on, I'm just really disappointed. I haven't played the game but have been watching it, it's been 3.5 years and I think it's finally time to give it a try, and what I see, the developer himself does not know what he wants to do with the game, there is no content (even deleted what was already in the game), only something like a soap opera with one sex scene, but it doesn't matter because nothing with Emma. And it took 3,5 years, I will not listen to any excuses.

Honestly just doesn't even sound like this game would be for and you would hate it no matter what. Seeing how negative you are towards a dev when he isn't one of the bad ones as far as I can tell .

 

[Exprovison]

Yeah ,she asks the MC about possible date.

Was there a choice to accept cause It didn't give a choice or is because of the route I'm on?

not 100% sure but I think you cant be on any path since it seems like this MC wont play the field like in other games

how much content is there in the game? more or less, like how many hours of gameplay so far?

from start to finish not sure been awhile but it's decently long. From what I recall took me something like 3-5 days I want to say but that depends on how much time you spend playing and how fast you read. The update that just came out took me like 1-2 hours
