Ren'Py Holiday Island [v0.4.1.0] [darkhound1]

New trophies app for the phone (0.3.7.2)

View attachment 2408966
Hello my friends!

With the next version 0.3.7.3, the phone gets a new app to display an overview of of all the trophies for all girls.
For each trophy, it offers details on each girl ranked up to fifth place.

This will makes it easier to get a good overview about all of the trophies, instead of having to go trough all the girls one after the other.

And it also offers a switch to display the total view or the weekly view as needed.

Someone asked for it end of 2021 and finally I found the time to implement it.

I hope you like the new app.
Feel free to leave a comment.

Take care,
Darkhound

PS: This post is "patron only", only because of the displayed nudity, so I share it here with you as well.

Apps like this one and the phone background app, while not advancing any storyline, are a really nice touch for the game environment.

According to the guide, the MC can read about politics and charm in order to get charm points in order to level up charm. The current level of charm points can be seen by the medical add, that can be supplied by the doctor. Reading about politics involves some luck, but you see the result in the points value right away.

I have noticed, that the points can be increased by something else than reading. But I have had difficulty in repeating this, so I am not quite sure, what activity, that may provide MC with extra charm points. Perhaps some luck is involved as well.

Have you noticed, what activity other than reading, that can increase charm points?

I found one scene, that provided one charm point and repeated it successfully twice. I did also try to use this one hour time in some other ways, that did not provide the charm point. The scene was applying sun lotion to Faye at her large ... A successful charm check of MC did happen in start of the scene. So it seems to me, that some scenes may provide you with charm points.

For each charm check, there is a 25% chance to gain 1 charm train point. Doesn#t matter if it was successful or not.
For each sneaking check, you always get a sneak/hack train point.

Apps like this one and the phone background app, while not advancing any storyline, are a really nice touch for the game environment.

Thanks. I wonder if you remember whose idea it was to have a trophies app

Is there any way to decrease hacking time? I have 5 stat at hacking (due to cheats) and the new boogle smoogle phone.
Also, does sending messages to the ladies has any effect? I don't see any decrease in affection/love

Hacking time (at least in the older ver.) took about 1-2 days, I never found a faster way to do so, (and I don't botherd, i did stuff with other girls meanwhile) the messeges I didn't try out to be sincere.

I keep getting random crashes when playing the game like I play the game for a bit then the game just closes itself

I have this issue as well but I have an old on board graphic card and an outdated i5 plus low ram (4gb) if I have to much windows open or YT is running in the background that happens to me as well but it is nothing what the Dev can make, to change, ( take care to close everything when I play only the game is running ) to by pass this (resolution is 1280) every thing else don't run (no image displayed, yes I have the resolution fix installed)

 

[Virtual Realist]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this.

I'm pretty sure that nowhere in my replies to Dole did I state or imply that if he was going to criticize some aspect of the game that he should just go elsewhere. If that is what you, or Dole, or others inferred from my replies, then respectfully, you have misunderstood my intent, which was to offer a contrasting point of view and also what I believe were some constructive suggestions.

You have obviously found that Holiday Island has a very loyal core fanbase (a virtual community, really), one that is very invested in the game and its development (as evidenced by the length of this thread, and the existence and level of activity of the Holiday Island fan art and fan fiction threads). Consequently, some of us feel more than a little protective of the game, and some are understandably zealous in expressing that protectiveness; couple that with the reality that some (though certainly not all) of the critics of the game are clearly just trolling the game's fan community rather than offering any constructive comments, and you get the set of circumstances to which you referred.

Is Holiday Island perfect? Absolutely not (IMO)! I think DarkHound would be the first to tell you it isn't perfect, and could tell you the reasons why far better than I could. However, is it remarkably good in most respects? Absolutely (again, IMO)! Are some people going to disagree (sometimes vehemently) about it being 'remarkably good'? Absolutely! It's simply not going to appeal to everyone, for a variety of reasons, and that's fine. However, for those who actually like the game but are bothered by things they perceive as flaws in it, is it possible to enhance/improve their game experience regardless of whether or not the flaws they perceive in the game are ultimately resolved or not? I think so, and that was the intent of my responses to Dole.

It's nice to have moderators and developers that are open to suggestions from the core fanbase. I have enjoyed playing this game and have found the women to be top shelf as far as their beauty and most all of the animations are really great. A couple of observations, and my thoughts on the game. #1) During a walk upon the beach with Amy, she seemed to take immense pride in the fact that she "has no gag reflex". however, while I have not been through every single animation for Amy in this game yet, I have yet to see a scene where Amy displays her Deep Throating skills or any of the other women either, which surprised me given that most of the women on the island are supposedly former escorts. I for one would love to see some DeepThroat animation. #2) Never mind. Forget about #2 ( literally and figuratively LOL ... ) Apparently, from reading other threads it's just not the Developers thing ... and finally, #3), a REAL three way with two of the girls would be awesome! Those are a few things that I for one would really like to see incorporated in a future update, and I'm sure that there are many others in the loyal core fanbase who would as well. Keep up the great work! Thanks!

Any links to fan art compilations or original sources?
I follow the OGs darkhound1 and DuckSwim on DevianArt. Came across fan arts by norb82 and -=Cazz=- .
There might be several more in the massive thread. So any links to where I can find them in one place like with darkhound1 and DuckSwim? Also, do recommend more fan arts and artists for holiday island.

Excerpt from MC's journal:


Entry 47:
Day 212:

Ok, I have been on the Island for 7 months of my all expenses paid 3 month vacation on a tropical island resort that I won in a contest that I never entered.

At first glance this place seems like your typical tourist destination. However, there are some oddities.
1. Everyone here has been injected with a chip that monitors location and vital signs.
2. Not that I am complaining, but I am the only male on the island. 16/17 to 1 ratio.
3. I have been requested to collect and submit to the clinic samples of... err... ahh... certain bodily fluids.

The medium of exchange on the island is Favor. I earn the majority my Favor by, well, turning in samples. All the ladies on the island are terrible teases keeping me in a near permanent state of arousal, which ensures that the clinic is receiving a never ending supply of samples. Some of the ladies have certain personal projects that need my assistance with, you guessed it, more samples. (WHAT are they DOING with all that stuff?)


This island has secrets. Many of the ladies have personal secrets. This isn't unusual as we all have our secrets, but quite often when I ask, I get told to ask Dr. Resplendor (Joy) about it or I am told that Joy has asked them to keep quiet about it. Two of these ladies indicated that they were dying before Joy stepped in and cured them.These two look like they are twin sisters but they assure me that they are unrelated and never met until they were treated by Joy. When I asked them if the treatment is why they look like twin sisters, yep, "ask Joy". The not-twins have extreme physical strength. Yes, they look strong (especially when they flex) but they are way stronger than they look. I am not talking strong for a girl strong here, I am talking bench press a Cadillac strong.

After I had been on the island for about 2 months, I stumbled upon the biggest secret (so far) that the island has to offer. I was jogging on the beach when I twisted my ankle. The damage severe enough where I couldn't put weight on it. Miriam (one of the not-twins, the other is Mercedes) carried me to the clinic without breaking a sweat (Cadillac, remember). I got an xray and if was decided that I should have an MRI. The clinic doesn't have an MRI, but the secret underground laboratory does.
THAT'S RIGHT, THEY HAVE A SECRET LABORATORY BURIED UNDER THE CLINIC OF THE RESORT!

From what I saw, the lab has two permanent residents, Dr. Rosario (Daniela) and her assistant Sara. On first meeting Daniela comes across as rather cold but does warm quickly. She did refer to me as a specimen (not in the good sense like "a fine specimen of manhood", but more like a microscope slide specimen). Sara is mischievous and bubbly (I am sorry, I don't handle bubbly well until I have had my second cup of coffee) but otherwise quite fun to be around. I was offered and accepted an experimental gene therapy that would reduce my recovery from months to a couple of weeks. Daniela and Sara mentioned my special "heritage" and that I was important but neither would elaborate. I was asked to produce more samples (SURPRISE) for my gene treatment. I also learned that they are storing my samples that they haven't used. (Use for what?)

During the few days I was in the lab, I met another patient, Mia. Her story was almost identical to the not-twins stories. She is just at the beginning of her gene therapy and still confined to a wheelchair but is already showing positive signs. I wonder it the not-twins will become not-triplets.

In summary I know:
1. This "resort's" (and by extension, the ladies') primary purpose is for me (or someone like me) to happily produce samples.
2. That I, or at least, my samples are very important and probably essential to whatever purpose the lab was created.
3. This importance seems to be derived from my "heritage". (I am guessing that means my genetics.)
What I don't know is what this is all about. Are the medical benefits the goal or only byproducts of research into something else?
It is obvious that the "contest" I won, was a genetic lottery but I still have no idea why I won.
I doubt I am a prisoner on this island, but I am pretty sure that Joy would figure on some way to make me stay voluntarily if I announced a desire to leave. (She has done a pretty good job of that so far. lol)

I guess for now, I am just going to have to keep my ears open to learn more.

All this is one of the central quests in the game. Some things have been revealed until now, but most of them have not.

 

[WiselyHealer]

Hello people, can someone give me a list of all the new scenes with dialogues from version 3.6.0 to 3.7.0. There is no separation in the changelog where the renderers were simply changed and where the full scenes are

 

[zapallbugs]

bonjour ça serai bien de pouvoir mettre les fille du jeu enceinte

As far as we know until now not going to happen. There is no storyline that hints at this.

Edit: with all the frequent sex taking place this would be a big risk to the operation. It is likely that Joy would have taken measures to avoid gumming up her business by pregnancies.

Guys, how can I progress with "Find out Sara's breast size"? The tip says "With Sara spilling secrets on a regular base, it's only a matter of time she'll tell you." I talk to her on every occasion, but the task is still unsolved.
