So far v3.0 itself is not scoped for an Android upon release.

You must be registered to see the links


The next main release is 0.3.0 beta which will be a new full update for Windows, Linux and Mac.

The likely candidate would be a later and (more) stable version (a main release will contain bugs, unavoidable). Usually a bugfixed followup version or a minor content update version.

6 months from the last update and the consultation does not specify another release date. I don't think the game will develop much anymore.

Normally I don't reply much to messages on a forum unless I have something I would like to bring up, but with all due respect, this is absolutely untrue and dishonest.

In case you hadn't noticed, there had been a global pandemic the past year which has severely increased the workload for many people. Bear in mind Darkhound is working on this in his free time besides his regular job, so perhaps give some more understanding there. If there has been a slower pace of development or updates (which as far as I know there isn't, it's just a large update with a lot of features and big scenes), perhaps it's also linked to that.

Furthermore, at least followers of this game are lucky enough to receive intermediate updates and development news. We can literally see Darkhound developing the game week by week by comparing the number of new or updated renders each and every development news update that gets posted.

It's not a post from a troll.
I do find out more about the poster before replying to a post.

This comes from a user who has posted many times on this site... 177, has had likes to his posts...77 so their posts can not always be negative, and has posted numerous times within this actual thread with proper questions and comments.

Just because it is a short, negative, comment, based on no evidence, does not instantly make it from a troll.
Lots of comments are short due to being translated, and the writer from a background where they get right to the point.
Just because someone writes something different from my opinion does not make them a troll, everyone has their own opinions and are entitled to express them.

Is it incorrect, based on no information... yes, hence my reply and MarsUltor is not feeding a troll, proving them to be incorrect with their comment...yes.

Oh yes it was a troll post, no doubt. It was posted 4 posts after the dev update.
It was mean to trigger you guys.

Yes, but it will down to the moderator who deals with the report to judge if it is a troll post.

Which means it usually is the best to simply ignore trolls. Most are irritating, but harmless. In my view reporting them is only usefull when they really grossly overstep the boundaries. Otherwise everybody is entitled to an opinion, no matter how wrong or offensive.

Welcome, She was hard to resist after Darkhound had used the stick with tits joke in his post about the girls bust sizes.
I often select a girl based on something I find funny :)

I'll leave the hard work of making games and what not to Darkhound
(while whispering "boobs, big boobs" in his ear)

It is good for my sanity that way ... well not my boob sanity, but the other one :p

This way you have more time to create really nice and high quality renders, instead of having to compromise for "mass production" as in game development. Meaning we get better eye candy :)

"mass production" is that what you are doing? I never noticed, quality seems fine to me. :)

Because Darkhounds knowledge and skill level is very high. So there is a lot of room for tradeoffs before quality is affected in a manner normally associated with large scale production.

As to the scale of production itself? Well, classic artisan rendering (which is how pretty much everything in places like deviant art is made etc) is 1/day pr. render.

Holiday Island is around 10.000 renders so it would take 25-30 years of artisan rendering, every single day without any breaks or vacations, to match :)
