First thing is that there is no dev team. There is just me, myself and I. So might sound like three, but it's just one guy. :p
I've made a post on my patreon about Renée's future in the game.
With a high probability she will become staff and get the position of "main massage therapist".
This means she will always be on the island in the future and also get new (job related) content when the switch to staff role is made. Similar to Delizia with the upcoming update.
She promised a third massage lesson... :D

When i double click the game, nothing happens and nothing pops up. Does anyone know a fix for this issue? (playing on windows).
Hooray, you can click! Now for the really big question ... can you read? On the previous page is your answer.

https://f95zone.to/threads/holiday-island-v0-3-1-1-darkhound1.3782/post-7462230

If you think that is a snarky answer; you are correct, it is. However, please take into account your question has been answered eleventy-bajillion times already and that is one of the reasons the answer is linked on the opening page of this thread.

Next bit of advice. Download and read the Companion Guide, also linked on the opening page.

Well for starters, did you install the mod correctly? Sorry had to ask. If there is any doubt, download and read the Companion Guide, linked on the first page, as it is covered in there. If that isn't the issue, are you trying to start a new game of load a save? if it is the later, it might be an issue with your 'persistent file' and that has been answered numerous times already and there is a fix also linked on the opening page.

Looks like the persistant files issue. Check the "game fix" in the OP.

Yes!!! I was hoping this might happen once Delizia's role changed...

Some of the lesser loved tier 3 characters becoming staff members is such a good call. Im sure dev has had some great ideas for them but if they aint highly desired by backers of course there is a chance they can never be fully realised so this is a great compromise and as far as i can tell there has been no objections. Renee already set to be one next as well i see? I wonder if this will be the case with more beyond them two - i think Ivy remodel has surged her popularity so its not going to be needed for her but the rest we shall just have to wait and see (fingers crossed - its not like we dont like them but if were limited to how many girls we can invite then of course we will strictly stick with favourites or at worst dedicate spare slots to characters who offer much more content across the island).

Interesting question, we should be able to theory craft a pretty decent guess based the public info there is.

Staff
- Delizia is converted to staff (release news)
- A staff will always be on the Island (Darkhound, prior page)
- They will retain all or most of their old content (Darkhound, prior page)

Known Candidates
- Renee is a candidate (Darkhound, prior page)

Scope
The old tier 3 seems to be the scope, both candidates are from it. Also it would not make a lot of sense to convert others in terms of content (as the more content a girl already has the harder a conversion would be).

Our possible candidates are therefore : Delizia, Brenda, Ivy, Lacey, Renee.
Okay, Lets solve who are actual staff candidates,

Girls to consider
  • Brenda is not an obvious candidate. She has been kept as diversity girl since 2017 (confirmed multiple times) in the invite line up.
  • Ivy is being remade. That is a unique investment, it would not make any sense for a staff. You'd just convert her. So Ivy is not a candidate.
  • Lacey has had it hard as an invite girl. Staff would solve that and the conversion itself gives some job content on top. She is a likely candidate.
So our theory craft list is : Delizia, Lacey and Renee are staff candidates.

Disclaimer : Theory crafting.

I have a few questions to Darkhound.
1. Would Yvette night visit be extended/modified? I know that we can have quite fun with Yvette before going to sleep, but personally I don't want her just to disappear in morning... Maybe if MC resigned from "night fun" he will be rewarded with "wake up" scene based on lust/love stats.
2. Any plans to adding threesomes scenes to game?
3. Are there plans to introduce new supermodels/escorts to island in future?
4. Any plans to release game on itch.io ?
5. Will Aly receive (in near future) new sex scenes? All of T2 girls have vaginal sex scenes but Aly have only 2 TJ scenes.

The answers are 99% known, so Darkhound can focus on his Sunday :coffee:
  1. If a scene is revisited one future day it is possible changes are made (as seen for others).
  2. Prior answers boil down to : Well, Maybe but not really, No.
  3. New girls planned, if any? Always see Patreon.
    • Super model is not a concept in use in the game, unknown what is meant by it.
    • Escort is likely obsolete as a concept. The original DA concept is from 2016, last girl of the type was 2018.
    • MnM, Daniela and Sara (2019 - 2022) suggest tech and concepts have developed way beyond since.
  4. Safe to assume no plans.
  5. Aly runs a different persona that the others, that's her thing. It is safe to assume the answer is always no (until she makes it abundantly clear in her quest line to the contrary)

1. So I'll wait and see what will bring future development.
2. :(
3. Joy said at the beginning of the game that supermodels/escorts work for her company and I thinking about "that kind" of girls not a Daniela/Sara which work more as laboratory personnel then supermodels/escorts. I wasn't clear enough, sorry about that, but you answered my question anyway.
4. :(
5. Yes, Aly has a "specific" personality and that makes her one of my favorite girls but I wish to give her more love... maybe she will get that love sooner than later.

Thank you for answering my question and I wish you a nice day.

As Darkhound has stated, he is the only creative person working on Holiday Island.
Those answers DuckSwim has given are based on what is most likely a Darkhound reply, but are slightly personal opinions of DuckSwim.

My personal view is anything is possible in the future, just depends on if it's something Darkhound wants to put in the game.
Also just because a few years ago Darkhound said no to something does not mean that he could not have had a change of mind and decide to put something in that he said no to originally.

So... anything is possible if Darkhound, the sole creator of Holiday Island, wants to add it.
We will have to wait and see... unless you have a crystal ball... lol.
