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

[Beloria2766]

At least the dev said they were gonna include saves ( not sure if they did or not) But if they did it's better than most dev's that know their game is gonna break saves. But there is no pleasing people even if they take the extra effort for causing an inconvenience

But from your post I can tell you clearly not much of a fan of this game if that gets you to not care for this game. Especially with right click skip or tab skip it takes almost no time to catch back up not alot of choices for it to take a long time. But then you would miss any new content since there is no new chapter just added new scenes to old chapters.

Also thank you for the laugh I look for post like yours on update day to get a good laugh

No new chapter wtf?????

No new chapter wtf?????

it does say rework.... and been known this is coming for over a year just got pushed back. Tho not a full rework just really adding scenes and fixing code I think

Last version I was able to use the 052URM mod so that I could change names and such. I can't use the mod for this version. Is there a workaround so I can use the mod? I hope somebody can help me.

The game is already too long, why rework it when it looks so good? It's over five years old and we're still in the friend zone. I'm sure the game will end after the first scene with Charlotte.

I have gone through all the discussion and so far the developer has not commended yet... why is this game has always have problem when a new update is lodged...? Maybe Developer's brainis too small to do it right... Can any of you smart gru's share some ideas for him so in future we dont have this fucking problem.

 

[Topmaniac]

And judging by the pace of the game's development, it will be finished somewhere around 2030, and that's when the first scene with Charlotte will appear.

So last update i made 3 sets of saves for 3 paths, and you're telling me all of it became worthless because of 'rework'.
Yeah, not gonna lie, given the waiting time between updates, i'm kinda done at this point.

The dev said they would make a set of saves before v0.17.0 comes out for anyone who doesn't want to replay.

Now for the bad news: old saves won’t work.

I’m really sorry about this, I know it’s a huge pain. Unfortunately, it ended up being unavoidable. I’ll create a set of saves for anyone who doesn’t want to replay everything and make them available before v0.17 comes out.

The reason this was necessary is because, when I first started Hillside, I had no idea what I was doing. And the code definitely shows it. As the project has grown, those early mistakes, especially confusing variable names, have made things harder and increased the chances of bugs. So, I’ve renamed variables, cleaned things up, and reorganized the code.

I had hoped I could do all this without breaking old saves, but because of how the code was originally structured, that wasn’t possible. To make everything more resilient going forward, I had to restructure it, which took more time than expected.

Since saves were going to break anyway, I decided to finally switch to the latest version of Ren’Py. I’d been avoiding this for a long time because the big update from Python 2 to Python 3 caused save issues back then, so I stuck with the older version. But now we're using the latest version.

Because of this extra work, I didn’t finish everything I wanted to. I planned to improve Lucy and Kaylah’s first sex scenes. The scripts are written, but the images aren’t finished yet, so the updated scenes will be included in v0.17. I also wanted to fix the achievements but have not done so. I’ll tackle that as soon as I can.

I’ll post a more detailed changelog with the release on Sunday.

Next week, I’ll start work on v0.17 and get back to posting the usual patron rewards, including weekly progress reports and pinups. The next set of preview images will likely come the following week.

Thank you for your patience and support,
DB

Honestly, every time I see the word "rework," I picture having hot sex, and right at the best part, your girl gets a call and needs to answer it. She apologizes and everything, but then you're left waiting for her to finish talking... You sit down on the bed, she's still on the phone, you get up and go get some water or a beer... She's still on the phone, you make faces at her, and she just smiles and tells you to wait, so you go to the living room to watch some TV. Then she comes back after 20 minutes and tells you what she was talking about on the phone and why it was important, and the whole vibe of a great night of sex is ruined...

I hate the word "rework."

so there is nothing new in this download?

 

[Joshy92]

I swear avn fans are the most fucking toxic 'fans' around.

DB works his butt off to make this game and everytime the trolls crawl out of the woodwork. It has been said for months this was a rework and if you can't do a simple bit of research or be nice to the dev then don't bother posting.

Ok all were is the fan made patch for incest. please help find it .? All so why not be uncal on dad's side of family i think it would be cool . Sorry
Dessolos
But I don't know how . But look for incest patch and you will see that someone did make a patch for it

There is never nor has ever been an incest patch for this game.

Honestly I don't even see how an incest patch could make sense with the story.
So, the bodyguard reluctantly hired by the world class model is in fact the father of her daughters? Or her son? Or her brother? Father? 27th degree cousin?

What the point of blurring Emma ass ? is there something i dont know ? wasnt there a sexy boobs/cleavage scene with Charlotte ? it got removed ? the dev dont want to give us any content ? wtf man.. im really stunlocked

honestly it would make it even worst. If he is the father then that makes him a piece of shit and unlikeable which goes against his character. If Uncle, Brother or a Son makes Charlotte's Trauma make less sense to me when she is mean to him at the start of the game. Cause why would she have such a reaction to family unless he is known to be a piece of shit which then makes it make less sense why he is hired as a bodyguard.

Is the non-con content avoidable?

 

[Dessolos]

Is the non-con content avoidable?

no as it's part of the story but it barley shows anything at all it's just more like 5 or so renders of a flashback of something that happened
