Mercedes: Do you like strong girls?
Our Protagonist: A little *grins*
Me, with no chill at all: GOOD LORD YES SIT ON MY FACE ALREADY

Also, every character in this game: Why would you even like me? I'm only a humble 21 year old, independently wealthy doctor, supermodel, sex ninja and part time massage therapist. You probably date girls waaaaaay better than me.
Me: *blood running from nose from brain aneurysm*

:ROFLMAO:

The rain is a complex mechanism, which affects other areas of the game.
It therefore makes sense to see its current phase as a concept foundation which has entered live testing.

Unavoidable for complex things.
Got to put the toe in the water somewhere.

As it matures other things are likely to be build into or be triggered by it, which is to say, it could also become a content trigger mechanism at some imaginary future point.

But as the Patreon and Development news make clear, the game is focused elsewhere right now.

Disclaimer : Just my analysis. Darkhound will do as he decides is best.

Yes, I know all that. My initial post was meant to be sort of an opinion piece voicing some constructive criticism. Maybe it did not come across as such. And that I don't expect the developer to act on it right away or even at all should have been clear from my post's last paragraph.
Next time I write a critical post I guess I will have to use a disclaimer just like you did ;).

In the end it was worth pointing out those things. My first point was considered to be valid by Darkhound and will get changed in the next release. And maybe, one day, in my entirely personal opinion, I will come to perceive rain as a positive element in the game - or I won't. Either way, I will keep on loving and playing Holiday Island :love:.

ps.:

And exactly for that reason I would have come to a different conclusion than you. Because you could equally consider such a story element to be too unfinished and therefore not ready for implementation in the code base at this point in time. But the product owner (Darkhound) decided it was ready, and the developer (Darkhound) did not object ;)

Oh I did not view it as critical.
Just thought the topic worth a small analysis.

I did not go into any details and stuck to concepts as Darkhound had already commented on practicals.

As for the disclaimer, well, a few people (you are not one of them :)) assume I speak for more than just myself when I write game analysis. That I am Duckswim and it is Darkhound's game getting lost somewhere in the internet's interpreter.

So nowadays I add the disclaimer here and there.

can somebody tell me how to trigger this event natasha tks

That should be triggered when you send Natasha away and back. However it looks like a bug sometimes causes older saves to be in a state where this event can't be triggered. According to the developer this should be fixed and won't happen with newer saves.

If you want to unlock that event in the phone, there is a console workaround posted by darkhound1 in this message.

I think it would be a good idea to include this in the companion guide if this won't be fixed in a way that prevents this from happening with older saves.

Once she is on the island Sara is always on the island. Talk to Yumiko at the beach bar about the sunlotion and follow it from there.

Yumiko is part off it with regards to getting the sun lotion, but it all starts with walking on the beach with Miriam. You have to do so multiple times.

Still sort of hope there'll be a change to strip poker, so its just based on clothing between both players, instead of a one-sided casino style...

I'm having an issue now where (for example) if I have an appointment at the pool like the Wet t-shirt contest, if I'm at the pool early, it will trigger immediately and will repeat every time time advances, so every 30 minutes so long as I'm still at the pool.

If you press the message before it starts, it will start immediately, not get you to the pool or where ever it is early.
