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

[Dessolos]

She is a young woman, dubbed 'heir apparent' to Charlotte's crown, and yeah her age and ego do get the better of her on a couple of occasions. To me, it adds a level of depth to her character. Earlier in the story when Charlotte and Kaylah took their trip to the yacht and Kaylah was all "I can handle myself, it's all good!" until she found out what was really going on. Or when at the charity event where she almost got assaulted/raped. Both were eye-opening events for her, and I like to think I saw a little character growth over the episodes as they progress.

In the latest update, while in Greece she does start to act a bit immature but then gets verbally slapped down by Charlotte. It wasn't meanspirited, but more of a blunt wake-up call. Later when Kaylah comes to the MC to talk to him, she has a rather deep conversation about realizing what she has done and wanting to improve. It's the same conversation where she realizes she caught the feels for the MC.

That she's not perfect and makes mistakes adds a level of depth to characters and humanizes them. She's young, popular, making scads of money, and likely has ego to spare, but why wouldn't she? She's going to make a few mistakes and thankfully for her Charlotte is there and not Harry and crew.

yeah like I said earlier I haven't played that path waiting till DB gets back but on the Charlotte path at least my opinion of her went down

something I thought about in regards to the most recent update.

I thought the same. I expected a conversation about it when they got back to the hotel, but if not, at least when they got home (the plane is maybe not the best place for it). I just hope it doesn't get forgotten about.

I wonder if anyone has pointed out for years that “jumper” is mistranslated, as long as this Hillside is obviously not really supposed to be in the UK.

Yes. Several times, although it's not a mistranslation.

100% this I was wanting him to tell her the entire time

It comes into the way I play - making the choices I feel I would make in that situation. Sadly, the writers of these games are never the same as me, so the choices I want invariably don't show up (often the choices I want will be just walking out, or telling someone "fuck you then", but many other times it will be simply giving them some information that I feel they need to know).

In the end, these are multiple-choice novels written by someone else, with a lot of fun stuff added. We're living in someone else's world. I enjoy it, but it's inherently limited. I do play the occasional sandbox game, which is slightly more "alive" if done well. I prefer the AVNs though.

This made me laugh way harder than it should have.

Forget hand-holding, the relationship is really serious when she starts upgrading your wardrobe. She wants you to look hotter when out with her, making the other girls even more jealous.

Is it then extra serious that she decides to give him dancing lessons so he doesn't embarrass her?

I hope the dancing lessons eventually move on to the Horizontal Mambo.

I don't think it'll be a horizontal mambo, but it'll be a long time before we see sex with her. Charlotte is the last LI our MC will have sex with, according to the dev.

 

[evileeyore]

Yes. Oh, hang on. I'm thinking of the route where MC fucks neither mom nor daughter, in which case: all of them, at the moment.

As God and Dev intended...

/Team Lucy, all the way

... do you think that Lucy may go back to modeling?

I forget where it was, but sometime after that when Lucy is talking to MC she's pretty clear about preferring to be a manager, which given her temperament suits her.

I can certainly imagine that when Charlotte stops, Lucy will become Kaylah's manager.

I think that's the "safe" option, and Kaylah seems likely as the new client (although in the real world, she'd already have a manager, so that would need to be sorted out first).

IIRC, the conversation in 0.16 is Lucy looking to step out of her comfort zone a bit. She wants to try something other than just the safe option, while she has the chance to do so. It could be getting in front of the camera as a model, but I feel that's too close to home, and also she's probably too late for that - her younger sister is close to retiring, after all (Lucy is the older sister, right?).

So in terms of what would be a bit different, and a bit less "safe", well, it could be anything. Someone mentioned acting, which sounds like a decent shot. She loves her bikes, so maybe something literally less safe, where she gets to be on a bike sometimes, like a stuntwoman or something?

And well worth the wait.

No, Lucy is a fair bit younger than Charlotte (Charlie is 39, Lucy is 34).

Holy shit, I forgot about this game. It's been well over a year since I last played. Have we moved past holding hands with Charlotte? Also, anything good going on with the older sister with a temper (It's been awhile so I can't remember her name. Suzy maybe?)

nope, still at the handholding and kissing stage with Charlotte, and that won't change for a while, she is deeply traumatized, she will be the last LI to get there as per the dev (even Emma will give it up before her).

The sister is Lucy, and yeah they are in a relationship already on her route (Suzy is the older daughter)

I think he meant Suzi, with a temper was my clue. And no, there is no development with her either. She still dreams of punching you in the face.

don't you dare tease me and get me horny like that when it didn't happen in the update
