Hmph, first I catch a virus that deletes all my appdatasaves and it takes over six months to get all my visual novels (over 150) somewhat up2date again.
Then it seems like a virus breaks out among the developers that's giving almost all the big and good visual novels a remake to make them even better. ^^
I hope it doesn't turn into an epidemic and I have to repeat everything again.
But thankfully, Hillside is one of those visual novels that's always worth replaying.
I'll play it again with Charlotte.
I wanted to wait until it's complete before tackling the other paths.
I also wanted Time to check out some other new visual novels.

Quick question, can you now bang the model (the mother/ the one you are working for). Or is this VN still blueballing you?

Still a far cry from the usual updates.

Plus it's Monday, but maybe I'll go ahead and skip through far enough to watch old dude get his neck snapped again.

Yeah, they wanted to clean up the game (bugs, routes, etc) and redo some of images (make them better) and upgarde Ren'Py.

So that is what they've been doing this whole time, it wasn't a "full rework" like most, as you can see it is still essentially the same game.

The next update whenever that might happen will be a new chapter/episode.

This is what they posted about the save situation and the state of the game. I'm sure it's posted somwhere here already.

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

Oh well, make angry emoji's all you want on my post. The variables were all fucked up, and people saves were all fucked up anwyay.

Tab skip exists.

Not that I see, checked all the posts and didn't see any saves. Let's be honest most aren't actually "playing" it anyway.

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
