VN Ren'Py Hillside [v0.16.3 rework] [DarkBlue]

That's why monogamy doesn't work in this game.

If you're being serious and not trolling, I would suggest you're playing the game wrong then. Monogamy is the only way the game works, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Sounds like you just can't say "no" (understandable, perhaps), but that's not how things work.

I'm serious. And what would you do? Would you help Suzy with her problem with the photographer? Or would you spit on Emma's bullying? The reaction of both girls is natural: they fall in love with you. And that's when you have to choose. And make someone unhappy.

I'm a loser anyway. If I say yes to Emma, for example, it will be cruel to her aunt, with whom I am in a relationship. If I say no to Emma or Suzi, I'll break their hearts. That's why monogamy doesn't work in this game. Giving hope to other girls only makes things more complicated.

they'll get new uncle or new daddy.

You can help them out without it meaning that you want to do something with them. They are free to develop feelings for MC, but it doesn't mean anything has to come of it. This sort of thing happens all the time...

well emma throws tantrum if chose aunt.

In an ideal world maybe, but even then doubtful. Someone somewhere will be sad/upset/hurt/jealous when it comes to romance and love, it's absolutely inevitable. Humans are why we don't live in a perfectly utopian society, and never will.

MC sums it up perfectly in the game when talking to Emma: "Sometimes, despite our best intentions, people get hurt and hearts get broken."

 

[filosoff89]

Yeah. And Emma will immediately forget her dreams. And it's far from a fact that the second dream will be the last on this topic. And the Mermaid will just forget that her roommate sent her uncle a photo. A selfie where she is naked. Too naive. Even for the Lloyd family.

Uncle Iroh: "I poured you tea because I wanted to. And for no other reason."
That's exactly what happened. But kindness has consequences. THEY fell in love with me. ALL of them. It's stupid to deny reality. And there is no good solution here. It's going to hurt someone. What I don't understand is why there is no "all together and happy" option. After all, it's damn logical.

Nope. She continues to mock the bear. She just won't confess to anyone about the crime.))

are you trying to kill Joshy92 with this one

 

[Joshy92]

I do often think about what a scene where I marry Emma would be like. Seeing her walking down the aisle with her bridesmaids Charlotte, Lucy & Suzi would be a wonderful sight.

I love Hillside and especially Emma so something like that would be a perfect ending imo.

-A new character shows an interest in Suzi

I translate this as a new contender for having the living shit kicked out of him. Most likely by Suzi. Although he could be new antagonist for Suzi's storyline, whether Suzi herself or MC I'm down for this guy having the living shit beat out of him.

But if the Render count is at 0%, these are just teasers and not in-game story renders?

id guess did just enough renders to show off a teaser but not enough to really move the render progress bar. I would assume they be in the story can't recall if any teaser shown has not been in the story prior

 

[HillsideVN]

They are in-game renders, but until I've storyboarded the entire story, I can't accurately estimate what percentage they represent. However, it's likely to be less than one percent, so I left it at zero.

Have to see how the middle one plays out with Mr. Patriot, but the other two look great so far!

What I don't understand is why there is no "all together and happy" option. After all, it's damn logical.

Sweet cheese...

I'll cover these in order:

1. THEY fell in love with me. ALL of them. It's stupid to deny reality. And there is no good solution here. It's going to hurt someone.
   1. And? So you're an irresistable guy then, I guess. One who apparently doesn't know the word "no". It doesn't mean anything has to happen with any of them, let alone all of them. And people do get hurt when it comes to affairs of the heart. That's life.
2. What I don't understand is why there is no "all together and happy" option.
   1. Because that wouldn't fit the game at all. The only person that would work for is you. It wouldn't work for any of the girls in the slightest. Why would any of them be up for sharing their love interest? - especially with family members, as would be the case for most of them. In game terms, this isn't a harem game, so that's the short and simple of it. In "real" terms, some or all of these girls are just going to have to suck it up, because they're going to miss out. That's also life.
3. After all, it's damn logical.
   1. It's actually not. It's not "expected or sensible under the circumstances", which would be the definition of logical here. If it was logical, it would happen all the time. A good percentage of the world's men (and women) would have multiple (public) partners just because feelings are shared and to damn with anything else. That just isn't life...

I'm not going to bother responding to any more of these posts, because there really is nothing more to say on the matter. You may want a harem here, but that doesn't automatically make it the right, natural, logical, or sensible solution.

I agree 100% Tony and you're a much more patient man than I am.

And at the end of the day it's pretty simple.

The Dev said their will be NO HAREM.
