I'm having the same problem when I get the dialogue Pidgeon shared while Jennifer is going over the posing tutorial. If I accept the tutorial, I get the error after she introduces HAPPY POSING. If I turn down the tutorial, it skips straight to the error. The full error screen calls some different values, but it resolves with the same 'I_who1' not being defined.

I'm on Windows 10. I have gotten every update that the Windows updater is offering. I tried lowering the game's resolution, but that didn't change anything.

I have used the companion mod to max the MC's stats and to increase max affection and love for the girls (except for Amy) to 100. Also used the app to change the subdermal implant levels from 1 to 3 after I get them and added a bunch of stuff to my inventory. I removed the companion mod file to try without it, but got the same result, so I've put the file back.

Gonna see about installing/updating the softwares mentioned to see if things change.

Getting this unskippable error on a new game straight after that above choice in amys 3rd workout. Ive used the companion mod to raise player stats and other girls but I only raised Amy's affection and love at 35 and lust to 100.
I don't think this is actually windows11 related, as I'm also running win11, and people like to blame unrelated things on it. I also disagree about this being a renpy issue, as the error is from a game specific file game/gui_screens.rpy. Line 4428 is doing a thing effectively showing a screen with a chat, requiring a who and a what.

Essentially, the game script things you're doing an interactive posing event, and that l_text1 isn't null, but l_who1 is null, then tries to say(l_who1,l_text1), and fails. Could be a bug, or it could be an issue where you've broken a sequence using a mod, but it definitely isn't windows.

Looks to be the bug acknowledged here:

It's a bug, I will fix it tomorrow when I'm able to replicate it.
It's caused by changes related to this new feature:
  • The old posing interface (where you can zoom in/out and can ask the girl to turn left or right) has been upgraded to support better conversations between the characters. The MC can answer now, same as he already can with the new posing interface. -> will be part of 0.4.5.0
In the meantime, before the crash, open the console and type this:
l_who1 = char1.fname

This should prevent the crash.
I entered the console command you mentioned as I was getting the same error. I still get an error when I try to skip the posing tutorial or choosing either option at the end of the posing tutorial, after the HAPPY POSING message. Error readout below, this time specifying 'unicode' object has no name.

I'm getting the posing tutorial from Jennifer, early in the game, with her mesh bodysuit. I can avoid the tutorial by leaving after she changes into the bodysuit (which loses affection and increases her anger, not a big deal).

So i'm playing the intro, and based on what "Joy" has said so far, the premise of the game is (someone please tell me if I'm wrong):
- The MC wins a lottery to go to an island resort filled with 'the world's best supermodels and high-class escorts'
In other words, every woman is paid to be there and be into the MC? I mean.... that's more realistic than any other harem game I've ever encountered, but it's also a little... meh. Certainly not deserving of the Dating Sim tag (since it can hardly be called a date if you've already paid for the services you expect).
You're not PAYING anyone. You won and you get to spend time and eventually have sex with multiple women. That is the premise.

I will venmo somebody $10 to step by step walk me through how to apply the bug fix on a Mac. I'm not tech savy. The instructions for the game fix say delete the persistent files in the "Saves" folder... well I have no earthly idea what a persistent file is or what it looks like and I've looked all through the various game folders and there is no "saves" folder. Help.

Holiday Island 0.4.5.0 has been released

Hello guys and gals,

pre beta testing for 0.4.5.0 has been finished and the new version is available for everyone now.
The update from 0.4.1.0 to 0.4.5.0 has 738 new renders, videos and sound files, 443 updated renders and 8 new backgrounds for the new phone.

All of the new stuff is in "webp" format and at least 2560x1440 resolution, which reduces space and increases image quality at the same time.

To see what's new, please check out the development news post for 0.4.5.0:

Save games from 0.0.8 alpha and later versions should still be working. Older saves are no longer supported.
!!!!! This is a new full version !!!!!
Please download the full 0.4.5.0 from these links (they are also on the main page):

Windows/Linux version:

Mega
OR
Google Drive

Mac version:
Mega
OR
Google Drive

Please extract the files into a new folder! Do not overwrite the existing game folder from an older version!
For all of you that get crashes as soon as you click on preferences or load, please manually add an empty text file in the HI sub folder "game".
Name the file: "use_fixed_resolution_720.txt"


What it will do is the following:
It will remove the resolution options and also the auto window scaling. After you have applied the patch, you will also be able to manually scale the game window again (e.g. maximizing it).

Happy playing!
Darkhound
Thank you for the time and effort put into this. The game has evolved quite nicely between the graphics, interactions, and story lines. Look forward to this update and those yet to come. Have a nice summer vacation, DH!

the only pb, for me, in this game, are the sex scene. They are mostly meh, too plain and far too stale. You are supposed to fuck girls who are nearly porn star , but they fuck like starfish.

So... it's been 7 years and this game is still getting updates.
Seems the new spam is to say this and the game needs to be finished.

:ROFLMAO:

OK... Darkhound will rush a poorly written ending like other devs have done, something like you have run out of days on the island, and you go home.... the END.
This will get more criticism, as these people are never pleased no matter what you do.

Then move on to a new game called "Amy's Adventure" all about Amy and her life... OK, that bit is a wishful thinking on my behalf :giggle:

If you don't like the game, that is fine, everyone has their own views and taste.
But the game is not going to change due to your comments, or that you want it to have a kink, or fetish that you want, but most will not like.
So why not spend the time looking around and finding something you do like, instead of pointless rubbish comments which only fuel people like me to trash on your lack of intellect

Anyway... I will go back to playing a game I like :sneaky:
