Well said.

Okay... true confession time. Several years ago, when Nintendo Wii was relatively new, it shipped with a game called Endless Ocean. I loved that game. It had a general storyline but was very non-linear, and had achievements (find a unique albino Blue Whale, and encounter and identify various marine life species), and I suppose I could focus on completing those as quickly, completely, and efficiently as possible, or I could (and did) just "go with the flow" and enjoy the immersive graphics and the Hayley Westenra music. This has generally been the approach I've used with Holiday Island (where the "wildlife" is considerably more stimulating...).

Sounds like good time memories, indeed! (y)
Reminds me of Metriod days on Nintendo.
Then later, custom player made maps of Unreal Tournament.

AVN's for me, music and writing do it most.
Visuals are a big plus, especially but not exclusively when done well.
Those that are games, depends on player-mechanics combined.

However, even when it's not something i prefer and not to extreme.
Will still test some of them thoroughly as i'm able.
Can stumble on different perspectives that are at times enlightening.

Know many in person i can share/promote/suggest games/VN's/Dev's.
Helps when asked, to have first hand knowledge.
Can't suggest a car or motorcycle i've never test drivin' ;)

Thank You, Appreciate You Sharing(y)

So I just got to the lab. It's long and disappointing and boring. But that isn't why I am posting. That robot voice. It is LOUD. The volume controls in preferences do nothing. I tried turning all the volume sliders down. I tried "mute all". I have set the volume on my volume mixer literally to 1. It is STILL too loud. It is insane. How do I fix this? I am going to just mute the game in the mixer now, but this cannot be something that is working as intended.

Edit: ok. This is not cool. I muted the game in game and I muted the game in my pc volume controls, but the voice is STILL there and still crazy loud. WTH?!?

Every release I'm hoping for a 'Jennifer' update... sob sob sob

I'd contribute to Patreon for some influence but I have a bad history with the site - every game I back ends up getting abandoned or banned. I'm jinxed!

The question assumes that everyone writes shit.
Although it might be a valid enough assumption in general, it is not the case here.
You can believe what you read :)

Companion mod for Holiday Island 0.3.1.x and later

I recognize your feeling. But you are lucky that you are the only quality control and management that decides when HI is ready to ship. Probably not so in your professional life where management decides to ship on a pre-scheduled date, ready or not. I see that often happen in my professional life that code is shipped when it is known not to be ready for that. Just so management can say 'we shipped on schedule'. That what is shipped is shit is only visible to the actual users. And this happens not just to smaller outfits, but the really big Fortune500 companies too. Everybody reading can think of his favorite company name for this. <rant/>

Is there a link for the guide 3.2.x and later?
I just see ones for the game.
I might be looking right at it.

I can't seem to get sara to show up at all after the ankle injury. I went according to the guide and nothing is appearing. That's why I've been asking for a save or for help.

Just compiled unofficial one few minutes ago. It started and intro works fine. About 1GB apk size, but needs at least 2GB of internal memory.

Thanks, it's a little buggy but works. Not sure how that will affect the saves going forward. Screenshot_20220910-064636_HI.jpg
This is one of the first two I got.
