Version 0.4.0.0 - development news ( updated 3rd of October 2023 )

Thanks for the update

A couple of things, if they're not already on your radar. I discovered the first while getting screenshots for the 2nd...

1. When viewing Favourites in your phone, there is no apparent way to exit the view without leaving your phone completely.

2. Ivy has 2 completely different heads of hair. It's what would be called a major continuity error in film & TV.

In some contexts (from what I've seen so far, arrival, & swimwear) she has a mop top of straight black hair...


In other contexts (any evening wear in what I've seen) she has elegant looking long wavy/curly dark brown hair...


I adore Ivy. She's a simply amazing character. A gentle giantess, who although body-builder muscular is also feminine, sensual, & a bit naughty. However the 2 heads of hair is jarring to the point of making her look like a different character. I like both heads of hair in different ways. Both fit her described heritage. If I had my way it would be black & long, straight or with curls, a bit shaggy for daytime, elegantly done at night, & tied back or up when appropriate for activities. No matter what hair Ivy ends up with, it would be a big improvement to the game to remove the continuity error by giving her consistent hair.

#1 : click the return arrow.



#2 : Ivy changes her hair cut for some of her nightbar scene. No discontinuity error there.

Different styles for different contexts is wonderful, it's part of what I suggested. However a different cut is implausible because that stuff takes time to grow back. And the differences are more than different styles. One is short, straight, & black. The other is long, curled, & brown.



That's not the same hair at all. It's a continuity error.

 

[pedrosweet]

Using the Companion Mod allows changing a girl's attractiveness. So if I (for example) think Lacey is a solid 10 (because she is a whole lotta what I think is hot), does seeing it to 10 affect affect my interactions with her? Does she become harder to get? Or change in any other way?

Ivy is actually incredibly bald, so she just wears a wig as needed. There's no need to bring it up, she's sensitive about it.

But on a more serious note, it's a game where super science is taking place under a resort filled with glamorous and beautiful women, all looking their best for the one guy on the island. To paraphrase Mystery Science Theatre 3000;

"If you're wondering how she pleats & tease,
And other science facts...(la! la! la!)
Then repeat to yourself its just a game,
I should really just relax...For Mysterious Holiday Island!"

Bantry is reposting the development news, he is not the developer (that's Darkhound1).
Bantry's radar would be called Delizia (and Busty Cthulhu).

As for Ivy, she has two different hairs in the game and people can dream up reasons for why she can do it (hair extensions, coloring hair) or not do it (insert reason here) but fact is, she has two hairs.

One could probably nitpick the color of her 'formal wear' hair should be a bit darker, but /meh, but no developer would take that fight with Daz when there are 22 girls other girls (that need to get done and on Cthulhu's dinner chart for completed girls).

Plus considering she jumped from 3rd last to a patreon vote top 10 spot due to her remake, a success, she is of course going to stay as she is (two Darkhound1 chosen hairs included).

Really !? I haven't been able to look so high up yet.

That is a small example of many things in regards to the title.
Don't see it to really be fixed or end, even when the title has finished(if ever).
Least it's not as bad as Intertwined.

Recommend treating it like Star Citizen, just have fun with what's there.
Crappy dialog/story-lines/writing/inconsistencies/illogical-actions... can't stop Ya.
Some day things may different but why wait, enjoy it for what it is.

Not so much what it isn't or may never be.

As in the case of many women - it is called hair extensions. Not a continuity error.

OK - if this ship is going down - I'll be damned if I am reaching for that piddly little blow up ring (screen left) to float upon. I see three absolutely wonder flotation devices that will sustain me for some time - or at the very least drown with a smile on my face.
Too bad Jack from the Titanic didn't have this option - that bitch wouldn't even share the headboard.

If Ivy is bald that a bit I've either missed or not yet got to. I'd considered wigs as explanation for her hair changes & it's the only explanation that does anything for me so far. A sci-fi explanation pushes the limits of plausibility a little too far for me.

Ivy has been undergoing a re-work. It's not continuity, it's the level of completeness of said re-work (I think?).

Depends if DH thinks he's done or not...

So many updates... so few of em contain Aly stuff....

Ivy conversion to remake is done (last old renders changed in 3.8)

As for anything about her,

You must be registered to see the links

, that's two years ago, so the whole hair thing is a bit late to the party.

Still not a patron again, so the link does me no good.

Plus, no one told the original requestor it was a known re-work, not a continuity issue.

And, as usual, DarkHound reserves the right to change his mind. IS it done?

[hello my friends, i got a question, is Mia available in the game cuz i saw to images of her like she is interacting with the pj, so if is please canyou tell me how to get her in the game, ty ]

At this point in the game's development, Mia is an introductory character. You have brief interactions with her when you visit the lab. Check the above post #33,870 on the v4.0 progress and you will see that Darkhound has some added material for her back in the lab.

So if you are looking for interactions with Mia on the island resort for regular game play they do not exist as of now. She is not a primary character but DH is working on her story line for the for the MC to learn more about her. My guess is eventually Joy's treatments will spur her on to becoming a stronger and more "robust" girl that will have some role in the game, but that is up to DH on how he wishes to advance her arc.

My advice is check your phone currently to see what available achievements you can get with Mia.

Thank you my friend, I thought she has history in the game cause i saw a picture of her in the game dont remember in which post. thank you again
