Version 0.2.3 beta - development news (updated 05. September 2020)

Hi guys and gals, this post offers you a collection of news about the next full version of Holiday Island (0.2.3 beta) and the smaller updates towards it.​
There will be smaller, more frequent content updates, called content addons. They will include bug fixes and new content as well.
The change log below is based on the beta 0.2.2.0 release.​
The next release is 0.2.2.2 beta which will be an incremental update for Windows, Linux and Mac. It will include some new features and some bug fixes as well.
As of right now, the update from 0.2.2.0 to 0.2.2.2 has:
178 additional renders, videos or sound files
0
updated renders

New features and content
  • A new location, the underground lab and infirmary will be introduced with two new special characters --> still working on it
  • A new scene when the MC jogs at the beach and hurts himself will be added. It's a scene with Miriam that leads to the discovery of the underground lab --> still working on it
  • Mercedes gets an event where she works out at night as part of her quest line --> still working on it
  • Heather gets an extended event with 3 achievements where she visit your room asking for sun lotion --> will be part of 0.2.2.2
  • Renée gets an extended pool play scene with 3 achievements --> will be part of 0.2.2.2
  • Mercedes will be overlooking the pool during the day and you can talk and interact with her (a long scene with 3 achievements) --> will be part of 0.2.2.2
  • Yvette gets an additional arrival scene when she has been the plane girl --> will be part of 0.2.2.2
  • Yvette can be the plane girl and she gets an extended scene on the plane --> will be part of 0.2.2.2
  • An intro quest line with 19 steps has been added, that will trigger when you arrive on the island. It will teach new players some of the game mechanics --> will be part of 0.2.2.2
Minor improvements and changes
  • The probability for short events in the player room have been lowered. The more often you have seen them, the lower the probability to get them again --> will be part of 0.2.2.2
  • In case you miss an appointment, the girl you stood up will get angry and send you a text. Next time you talk with her, she will also complain about it --> will be part of 0.2.2.2
  • The save and load slots will get numbers on them for easier navigation --> will be part of 0.2.2.2
  • The initial girl selection process has been newly coded from scratch. This includes the selection of the plane girl and the initial island population. As a result, this should make the general experience of the first couple of in game days much better. Especially if you mainly selected low tier girls. --> will be part of 0.2.2.2
Bug fixes
  • When you have no sun lotion, Faye's sun lotion scene at the pool will crash with: 'cl_character' object has no attribute 'swimwwear' --> will be fixed with 0.2.2.2

Is the update going to break save games?

0.2.2.1 beta --> Save games from 0.0.8 and later can still be used. Earlier saves are no longer supported.
0.2.2.2 beta --> same as for 0.2.2.1​

Estimated release dates:

0.2.2.2 beta --> no idea yet

Does anyone know at which times Jennifer have her topless joga class on the beach? That is probably the only thing that is missing from Guide...

Actually, you can find out that information from the receptionist!

Just for kicks, priority list when you don't know something:
1. ask the receptionist
2. read the guide
3. search the thread
4. failing all three above ask a question here
Note, number 4 is number 4, not number 1. I hope you all know enough math to see the difference.

Tickets to the Movies

Looking in the fridge. Well damn outta creamer. I better hit the little shop near reception and grab some before they close. Down the stairs and time to spare. Glancing thru the shelves. Ah man. Bah, powder creamer. I well atleast it's something.

Making my way out of the store and would ya looky there it's SiJa checking stuff out on the shelf. Most other guests I've scared off due to musical tastes but as for now there's two guests I get along well with. SiJa and Bantry. Those two I can share smart ass remarks and torment them and they give it right back. Recently I met another guest junior366 he seems pretty cool and does rate high on my music scale being a follow fan of Black Sabbath. He should fit nicely ;)

Hmm should I just leave him be..Naaah no fun in that. I walk behind him and start singing Ice Cream Man by Van Halen.

Good evening sir, and the banter begins. Oh good evening Yankee. let me guess? Getting supplies for calling spirits later after Faye leaves.

Oh now SiJa we all know the best time is 3am also know as the dead hour. I have not gotta around to that but thank for the reminder. His look is priceless but responses in SiJa fashion.

Yankee I still wonder why we get alone so well, but will admit your definitely different sir. I respond. Well kind sir it's because I add a special WTF to your day. We both laugh.

While I have you here. I was wondering. You took Amy to a movie here on the island. Is that available for all guests or do I have to grovel at your feet for tickets. I'd like to take Faye to a dinner and movie soon.

Here is comes. Grovel you say? Can I call Amy and Alice and have them enjoy that moment too.

I can't help but laugh and respond. I hate your ass, but touche sir. After regaining our composure after a good laugh.

Yankee It's available first come first service. Just check with reception. SiJa heads for the exit. If you'll excuse me I have a ice cream party planned for Amy soon and winks at me.

Oh gotta end this conversion well, being a smart ass. Oh well don't let me hold you up. Oh when you can. Could you send me the ingredients for Sensual Chocolate. I'm sure Faye would love to try some. he shakes his head and laughs as he exits.

Ok, Back to my room and get ready to meet Faye for the evening. Wait, is that Bantry? Why's he walking so fast after he saw me.

Calls out. Aww come on Bantry, Ok, the music was extreme but wasn't day was complete...Your welcome??? Damn look at him go.
