VN Ren'Py Hillside [v0.16.2 rework] [DarkBlue]

[JJ1960]

hello everyone, I'm starting a new game because I didn't like my choices before, the first play through I didn't choose Lucy because I thought that Charolette was sexier but after choosing Charolette it's like dragging my testicles over broken glass trying to make progress with her, soooooo if I choose lucy can I decide later to choose Emma or her Suzi? I realize that you can only choose one character and I know that I'd probably hurt Lucy and I know it sounds like a dick move but I just don't find Lucy sexy but I feel bad because I remember she said" everyone always chooses Charlotte over me", any opinion would be appreciated

If you want someone to drag your testicles over broken glass, that would be Suzi most likely.

There's a possibility that saves might break based on the coming changes in 0.17. If you don't want to do it twice, maybe wait until next release to do it.

You can tell that he's American.



About the only thing that could make him look more like an American tourist would be being fat with some loud, obnoxious, dialogue.

Funny, that's how I picture British tourists

Not pale enough.

From what the Dev has said, the MC will only be able to have one LI. The game currently does have some limited logic in some places, to detect if trying to start multiple paths.

In most cases, the scenes/conversations that play out are exclusive to the first variable path it matches on. For example: If on charlotte path play scene which sets charlotte variables and adds relationship points; else if on lucy path show scene that sets lucy variables and adds relationship points; else if on kaylah path show a scene that sets kaylah variables and adds relationship points. In these cases, you'll miss variables and relationship points that can affect the relationships.

Now that said: 1) Suzy has no path yet, she only has two variables for scenes and I've been able to get 7 relationship points with her on a dedicated run; 2) Emma also don't have a path yet, but she has 10 variables for scenes and I've been able to get 27 relationship points with her on a dedicated playthrough.

There's a very high chance that if you try to do multiple LIs on one playthrough you'll miss a number of relationship points and variables. It's not possible to get maximum relationship points and all variables for all LIs in one playthrough, as many scenes are exclusive of each other.

An interesting thing I noticed related to Emma. Since Episode 10 completed, meaning from Episodes 11 and onwards, none of her variables have been checked for any reason. Thus all previous decisions have no impact on her story. And in addition no new variables are added to the game related to her. The only variable that affects Emma in those newer episodes is if MC is on the Charlotte path or not, which only affects superficial conversations involving her, and that's it.

Edit: If starting a new run, why not have one dedicated to each that you do like? It's easy enough to Tab-skip all the content, and then you won't miss any scenes with any of them. You can blaze through the already seen content pretty quickly and it'll just stop at the new stuff you haven't seen yet. If you don't like an LI, then don' t waste the time pursuing them, as you won't really like the playthrough.

thank you for taking the time to explain this to me, you’re very kind

For those starting now, chose Lucy Route for you first time, Charlotte Route is pretty dry of NSFW content (this is not a criticism is just a fact)

....but I'm still playing the Charlotte path.

Charlotte, Lucy, and Suzi are the GOATS of "We can save her" LIs. Kaylah hopefully doesn't end up there.

Emma is wholesome, but no action, but you can play with both Kaylah and Agent Fox to get your jollies on that route.

Only NSFW fun is with Lucy, Kaylah(, and Fox with the next fix) so far, but the story is great!

We don't need to save Lucy. She's been the one saving everyone in the family for years. Up to and including hiring MC in the first place. It's everybody else that is messy.

You can be on both the Kaylah/Fox path absolutely. But it looks like the MC was supposed to end that in Episode 15. If you didn't see it already, check out the bottom of my post here: https://f95zone.to/threads/hillside-v0-16-1-darkblue.52621/post-17218098

As you can see, the MC clearly ends it with Kaylah in order to be with Fox. There is no choices to make, or you don't get to pick between Kaylah or Fox. And because the new Kaylah relationship variable is never set, her relationship is over from that point onwards. I'll be curious to see if the dev ever offers a way to break up with Fox and go back to Kaylah, as she suggests in the conversation.

i'm still playing Charlotte route anytime I replay the game she is my main girl. i'd personally pick Kaylah over Lucy haha

Incorrect. Lucy is close to breaking down, she plays the strong one, but she's depressed and insecure as fuck. She's strong for her family because she has to be. Hearing her story from her made me so sad. She was my first LI pick because I couldn't bear to break her heart after that.


... plus, you know, she puts out.

And she's the best looking out of the bunch. Well, Lucy and Kaylah.

I wish I could have an unbiased opinion on looks. After liking Charlotte so much it's hard for me not to see her as a top tier LI in terms of looks. She would probably make my top 25 for looks but I feel that is cause I have a bias towards her

 

[Jarulf]

I'm actually not attracted to Charlie that much. I can see why others find her attractive, but her looks do nothing for me.

quite a many tits scenes.

Funny thing about that I had the same thoughts as you just was hot but also did nothing for me at first. It was once I grew to like her character alot and thus formed a bias now I can't see her as someone that isn't a top tier LI in terms of looks. Funny that how a character can go from hot or average to extremely hot / attractive once you grow to like them enough.
