The Guide gives you tips on where the best save points are. Typically you can save anywhere and should, for example when trying to trigger a scene or complete achievement. However, if you plan to step away for a bit, always try and have a 'save' point at the beach or restaurant, some place where it won't matter what girls/pics are displayed. There was a problem a while back that many ran into by trying to have a save point in the MC's room as sometimes the pictures on the wall in the frames were updated to the webp format causing the game to crash when it couldn't find a particular pic.

As for achievements, some are as you have discovered, more involved. You may concentrate on those girls or start with the Tier 3 girls who have fewer achievements and knock them out and then concentrate on the Tier 2 and then Tier 1 girls. Really there is no right or wrong way to play the game. It is all up to you.

As for Anger, hug and give gifts are your best course of action, unless you use the Companion Mod to manually adjust the levels. If you do use the Mod, remember to follow the advice and tips in the Guide to avoid any problems.

Estimated release dates:
0.3.0.0 beta --> no idea yet
I'm not going to post yet another "Are we there yet?? Are we there yet??!" post, because I know that you don't rush a masterpiece; when it comes, it comes. My mouth is watering for all of the exciting new content that's coming. In fact, there is so much new content coming our way that maybe Darkhound ought to leapfrog 0.3.0.0 and just call it 0.4.0.0... ;)

the facial expression is great!
That's strange, I feel the exact opposite: that the facial expression is the weak point of the image.
I'm not quite sure what it is, but something feels off in her smile. As if her lips were smiling, but her cheek muscles were not.

Since I'm here nitpicking, I might as well add two remarks:
- the necklace is stuck to Eva, and does not hang following gravity (can't blame it. If I were the necklace, I wouldn't let go of that chest)
- the perspective of the room and the perspective of the city does not seem to match.

Anyways ... that's just nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking. ;)
DuckSwim your work is great as always. :love:

that's great work! the facial expression is great! I'm curious, have you ever experimented with an ahegao expression on any island girls?
No, I render in-theme.

could always be in theme if she was say.... touching herself...
The theme is defined by Darkhound, which is to say the overall theme of the game, girl's character, their behavior, preferences and accumulated history. Ahegao does not exist in the game (to my knowledge).

Worth noting is also that I do not render sex events or activity.
So I have no reason to experiment in that direction.

The only exception would be if Darkhound for some reason asked me to do so.
And I cannot really imagine any scenario where that would happen :unsure:

The whales? The chickens? The number of words used in making a bad request?

It's the uncanny valley effect. Probably should have tried a to do a less realistic face to make it look better.

How long until after I finish all the tasks that amy tells me the next step in getting her implants removed? I've already gone to her room a ton and gotten her trophies.

How do you raise the look stat - conventionally - in this game? Nothing about it in the guide apart from new game choices.
Shower daily and use hair products.

Patience. If you haven't learned by now you cannot force a woman to do anything on your schedule. There are plenty of other girls to amuse yourself with while you wait for Amy to come visit your room and tell you what else is needed.

As I recall it was almost a week after when Amy came to my room to say she was leaving the island. Have to be in your room and she will knock on door.
