I don't think that the planegirl stuff needs fixing, but I think it would help the story if you could collect the achievement in the same playthrough. Otherwise, it's just a note that you saw the scene and a way to see it again.
You could add 5 Wishes & Desires for Joy to give you. Joy tells you a Planegirl's wish is to ride on the private jet with you. Add a mini quest where the girl says, "I was told that I would take you to the island, but I never got the chance." If she was your planegirl, then she could say, "I wish we could recreate the magic of when we first met on the plane." You would then take her from the private island airport to fly around and back. Afterward, you could also get the planegirl arrival scene.
Keep the idea on the back burner, since I'm fine with having a blank in the achievements area. This might allow you to expand the game with a minimum of effort, but it might also be boring for you.

I wanted to add that the Creator has not gotten enough credit for fixing the Out of Memory error that was so prevalent before.
This latest update seems to have completely eliminated the program crashing and giving you a report that starts with "Out of Memory" which used to happen every 20 minutes or so.
Since the latest update, I haven't had it happen.
Either the latest version of Renpy is better, or new coding stopped the memory leak.
Whatever you did, congratulations! Keep up the good work!
I happily await the next update and a visit to the beach bar.

Since the last version, there is 64 and 32 bit version, as I recall there was only 32 before. 32 bit apps can use only 4GB RAM maximum, 64 bit apps can use all that availeble. I think this is what helped.

I think it will be cool to the see the island from the air, I bet it has to be in an archipelago (for resources like food or power) and the runway for the private jet is really really small and basic
Some kind of forest or waterfall will be great too

That's the DAZ resource for some of the island visuals, like the beach, the pier with the sun loungers, and the soon-to-be added beach bar location, but it is certainly not Holiday Island in its entirety, as there is obviously no place for a resort hotel with an outdoor pool, or for a small airport/airstrip that would accommodate a business jet. The banner picture of the island - which also appears in the intro segment of the game - looks a lot like Moorea in French Polynesia (Tahiti). In my mind's eye (and for the purposes of my fan fiction posts), I picture it as being an island smaller but similar to Moorea, and would guess that darkhound likely envisions something more or less like that.

I think I found a problem with Joy's appointments achievements.
If you get all of the Wishes and Desires quests before you get the Blue Blazer outfit appointment, you will never be able to get that achievement because Joy will always take the pill and have sex with you.

The way it happened for me was, I made the appointment with Joy when no girl on the island had a wish. Joy wore her blue blazer and had sex with me even though I hadn't finished all of the quests.

Maybe the solution is to only have Joy take the pill when all of her outfits have been seen.

I dont think its entirely built even at DH... No need for that and rendering would need insane resources.

. I don't think there have been fewer items to do for a few months. Don't give the guy any new ideas or we will have to wait for another month :ROFLMAO:.
Nah, darkhound1 pretty much stays on track and doesn't listen to the daily dreams and wishes of the resident crazies, I'm betting we have a new version within a couple of weeks, maybe sooner!

I agree. I'm sure it's basically like a movie production, where the game scenes are like studio back lots and soundstages and movie sets, and everything that isn't 'on camera' is filled in by the players'/audiences' imagination. I'm also reasonably sure that darkhound1 has lots of backstory and other details worked out in his mind that will never see the light of day in the game/story. Every good storyteller knows details about their story that nobody else will ever see.

“That’s all well and good, but I want to know when the next update is coming out.”


[/SPOILER]
Looking forward to this update. A lot of work and output. Kudos to DH for continuing to improve this game.
With no new Delizia content I guess Bantry will be stuck "somewhere in the Pacific" drinking coffee and ingesting power bars trying to solve the mystery of so many women (rough life) ;)

Since I installed the new updated game, it won't start anymore. The log says
Bootstrap to the start of init.init took 0.08s
Early init took 0.00s
Loader init took 0.12s
Loading error handling took 0.27s
Loading script took 4.27s

And then nothing happens - the game just doesn't start.
And yeah, I tried a fresh install... same thing
