Ren'Py Holiday Island [v0.4.5.1] [darkhound1]

[W!nterfell]

No one ever mentioned anything about that. And not about new girl either.

From the Patreon page...

• Natasha will become a side resort guest and will be phased out eventually. There are a couple of reasons for this step.
  As an early version of a colored skin character, her assets are no longer up to current standards. There is no way to fix this without changing her too much and having to recreate all her content.
  She will still see the current content (e.g. Hotshots) and her quest line finished. After that, she will be retired to tier "complete".
  There is also some good news for the busty dark skin lovers out there. After Natasha's phase out, a new girl that fulfills all the criteria for a state of the art dark skinned busty girl will be introduced as an additional resort guest.

Yeah, sorry to see Natasha go, but the dev's thinking/reasoning is encouraging, and it's really cool that he's willing to do A LOT of work to improve on what's gone before (which to my untrained eye was pretty great already).

This is the post I was thinking of

When/if the change comes I look forward to a new girl to "take" Natashas place in the continued story.

Sadly we never had other girls experience the "power" of Natashas milk

What happen with this character? Mia? It was announced in mid-2020 I think for the update of the underground laboratory and still nothing.

Good memory !
I guess she has been shelved for the moment and Sara took her place.

Now the maximum number of girls can be on the island (who are not staff) = 9, the minimum number of girls = 8. I think it would be correct (now) to lower the minimum number (or better yet, remove this minimum number of girls limit). (Especially now that some of the girls will be transferring to the staff.)

Some people prefer to not have the girls they don't like on the island.
All the girls on the island will be a nightmare for gameplay, one example: when you need a girl to be alone in one place.

Getting a girl alone is not the problem. You can send them all changing clothes. But I agree with you that it is a nightmare when you have the full complement. I usually kick one out immediately as with 8 it is hard enough to pay attention to all of them.

I am soo ready for this update. As you can tell, I'm a professional Holiday Island player and one should not attempt this maneuver without proper training and experience. Something for you all to aspire to and you can start by reading the Companion Guide.

Next update our MC will be back to the lab and he will meet Mia.

It's something to keep in mind. If I add it, the minimum restriction won't be removed entirely, but it will be a reasonable number (like 5 or 6).

Already added it. The minimum number of regular girls is 6 for now.
Once you go below 8, you will still only be able to invite 1 girl at a time, meaning you invite 1, then you have to wait until you see her arrival scene before you can invite the next one.
To do it differently would require too many changes. Maybe I'll add this later.

While we all wait for the beta testing to finish and the new update to arrive...

Like many others, I've been doing F5 all week and all the time hahaha I wouldn't be so anxious if I at least knew an estimated publication date. A big update is coming and I think the next one with Mia will be great too!

Yep, same here. I've been trying to "hold out" for the update but it's getting difficult!

There is not a lot that hasn't been fixed and retested. I hope that only one more bug fix is needed for the pre beta and some small things in one scene need to be finished.
Tomorrow I won't have much time and after that work starts again.
The release will with a high probability be next week. But I can't give you an exact date yet. Depends on my time and the time of the pre beta testers.
Beta testing takes longer this time, due to the huge amount of content and code changes.

Yesterday, I recieved my new graphics card.
Now I am ready to fully examine every dimpl and freckle that is thrown at us.
