Ren'Py Holiday Island [v0.4.5.0] [darkhound1]

[EmsPsyBr]

What is not intuitive by having additinal information for each event/scene/appointment and just having to click on it to see the pictures?
Page up and page down? You can use the scroll bar or the mouse wheel to scroll up and down.
A gallery in the main menu would be a huge step back and is definitely not going to happen.
The game will not have replays for scenes and stuff that you can easily get by simply playing them again (not because it's not possible or difficult, but because it doesn't make much sense and destroys immersion - it's by design that it is like that). It's a sandbox game and not a VN where you can see most of everything only once.

Additional clothes doesn't have to do anything with "difficult" at all. It's not difficult, but it's a huge time eater and it's super boring to create as well. Every image in the game has to be rendered, the game doesn't have a 3D engine, it only shows pictures or animations. Adding only one swimwear for Yvette would mean hundreds of additional renders which means a huge time consumption and very little benefit for the player, just repeating existing things over and over again with other clothes.

I saw your comment talking about up to 130 hours to create a new character, until I got scared I thought it was much easier (I'm new in this type games do not understand much so my questions are a little silly) and also the delay of work to add new clothes, really is something tedious. About the gallery I did not know the difference between VN and sandbox games. As I mentioned, I'm new to it.
This game is very good! I love it, I hope my suggestions are not taken as critical, it was just lack of knowledge in the subject.

I see a Patreon vote coming up for what you would like in the game:
A) Boat Trip
B) Beach Volleyball
C) Strip Twister
D) The Double with Alice and Amy
E) doesn't matter really

I see a lot of votes for D, although I could see A having the same results!

 

[DuckSwim]

Using letters as voting options confuses me.
When I hear A, B, C and so on I think of something ... else



And they go a bit like this,

(A)bsolutely abysmal
(B)arely there
(C)ompact Classic
(D)ouble, if you please
(E)xemplary examples of excess
(F)uuuuuck, Yeah! attached
(G)ood? Great? Globes!
(H)ooters, capital H baby!
(I)mpressive, and Inspirational
(J)uggernaughts, of Just, Juicy, Justice!
(K)ollossal Klassics, with a K
(L)uscious Lunars, Landing Zone too!

So like Tire ratings, do we skip a few letters and just go to -
(U)dders?

anyone can tell me how im gonna update my game

 

[zenaxius]

After downloading the new update just extract it and go play. You can delete the older version folder since the save games aren't located there.

• Lacey has 76 sprite images just to be able to use her in the game at all. With just that, you cannot do anything with her.
• Lacey has 100 images in the scenes folder
• Lacey has 7 poker images
• Lacey has 10 images in the event folder
• Lacey has 3 intro images (plane girl)
• Lacey has 7 sexting images
• Lacey has phone and dream images too

So all in all you're looking at more than 200 images just to be able to do basic stuff with the girl.

Then there is the creation time for a new girl, which includes:

• Body modeling
• Face modeling
• Hair style and hair color
• Body skin/texture selection
• Creating a blueprint for her personality, including likes/dislikes, stuff like that
• Family history, upbringing, job, life before island, etc.
• Selection of 3 x swimwear and 3 x night wear that fits her and her character

Creating a new girl can easily take 30 hours+ or much longer even
Creating 200 renders - well let's just assume 10 to 20 min minutes per render, which is not even long. So an average of 15 minutes.
We're at 30 hours + 50 hours already and there is not a single line of code or dialogue for her yet.
To get that will easily be another 50 hours, probably more.
So we're looking at something like 130 hours of time.
At 10 to 20 hours a week, that's like 9 weeks of work.

Thank you for this detailed explanation.

I'm surprised Titfighting wasn't on the ballot. Jennifer and some other girls talk about it all the time. I guess this idea was not that popular.

I don't know about titfighting not being popular. I just didn't think of it when I made this list.
Note: this was intended as a joke and is *not* an official ballot by Darkhound.

Alice and Jessica, how to solve the task of taking pictures
I can't find the guide
Can someone elaborate~ Thanks

Can't find the Guide? Did you try the first page?



Or did you mean you can't find it in the Guide? It's possible that the Guide hasn't been updated or more likely it is because you did NOT read and follow the hints already built into the game, that tell you exactly what triggers the events.

(Many thanks to darkhound1 & DuckSwim for use of images, and creation of some renders)
(Thanks should also go to Bantry who was the brainchild of this idea, but passed it over to me to finish off and be the deliverer of 12 Babes of Christmas)

Have Faye alone in the skimpy outfit in the gym and watch her do pullups. If you don't get a boner while she does it, she'll take you to the sauna.

In that vein, so far the sauna is only used by Yvette, right?
