Ren'Py Holiday Island [v0.5.0.1] [darkhound1]

[SiJa]

Faye was costing the Muffin Factory too much money to keep running

 

[MrD812]

Faye is old tech and if I recall Darkhound had to Frankenstein her model to keep her alive.
She's too high maintenace, that is what I gathered in leman therms.

Massive task-loads aside.
At the rate of tech evolving, ALL characters could be upgraded or phased out Soon(TM).
As well as the use'ers:






Regardless of characters redone/replaced, MC's reaction may be about the same:



For those of You developers whom Assumes.......



Relax, just hang in there



Things can be a pain on deadlines, don't let it get to ya and tell ANYONE:

 

[rooney10]

Option 3 was selected.

So she'll still be in the game, do all the things she always do, she'll just be completed.
And this being Darkhound1, a new ultra class will be introduced at some point afterwards.

Thanks for the explanation DuckSwim. I get it now as I was the one who inquired about Natasha some time back and the answer was somewhat similar if memory serves. Forgive my ignorance as I'm no dev/asset/model expert, but I suspect an "Ivy-esque" overhaul was not technically feasible, different assets, future upgrades, etc. yes?

Not sure as an old school regular, and given how long it's been in the works, how I missed the "Faye's time w/us will end" discussion, but it just gives me another excuse to drink more and drown my sorrows. Just wish I had something or someplace resembling the HI Night Bar to do so! Anyway glad to hear Faye will still maintain her legendary presence in HI though and I have no doubt, given darkhound1's IMMENSE talents, that her successor will FARRRRR EXCEED my LARGER THAN LIFE expectations...hint hint, nudge nudge, say nah more.

Hm,

In reality yes, correct.
In theory, there is always a maybe somewhere.

If you are stubborn, skilled and have the time (a rather lot of it) it is ultimately doable within some tolerance.
The tolerance will depend on a lot of things but in short,

• The less customization used the better
• The less special face the better
• The less generation gap the better
  • "Before or Victoria 4" to "Genesis 3 or later" being absolutely huge gap

Technical
Faye is custom V4 mix pretending to be Genesis 3.
She has a fairly special face and lot of custom things too.
Thus her technical tolerance is very poor (so the girl produce d is unlikely to ever be "her").

Content
To this comes she has a lot of content, so she will take an ocean even if a remake model proves possible.
So she is a real poor fit for a remake.

Conclusion
So Faye? Not really possible.

Taking some modern asset base ex. my Cthulhu girl (a 2022 ultra base) and then making a new girl from the modern asset base would almost always be superior (and work)

Edit 10.12.2022
An update (a minor fix/small upgrade) of her could potentially work, since that could squeeze around the content redo (none would be done) and not get into too much trouble on the technicals (since it is fixed up Faye).

The catch is, of course, that it would at most be another life exention and run with a lot less quality and core fixes than a remake/upgrade would. So it would come under pressure immediately from any newer and modern girl, and be subject to tech obsolescence again.

But, if life extension is the only goal, it is an option.
-------------------

Note
The Cthulhu example is not to be confused with the actual girl I use, this is assets we are talking about, she is not a suggestion, I use her as an understandable example of an modern asset base's outcome.

 

[TheorPhys]

I can deal with Natasha's phasing out, she wasn't too popular, but Faye is one of the icons of this game, so moving her into legacy content is a huge drawback fo me. Also any new superbusty girl gonna be treated as Faye's copycat and I doubt it turns good for her character.

 

[xapican]

Faye's copycat and I doubt it turns good for her character.

Oh I can think about a "few" punishment methods ?

Conclusion
So Faye? Not really possible.

Thanks again DuckSwim for the detailed explanation. Indeed sometimes technology gives, and sometimes technology takes away.

If'n I understand you correctly, what you're sayin' (in automobile terms) is that our sweet 68' Corvette still looks and sounds great but reliable parts and standard maintenance have become prohibitive to keeping her everyday roadworthy. So better to garage her and enjoy her boundless beauty. Maybe even take her out for an "old-times sake" spin once in awhile and say "Thanks for the memories".

Then go out and snag that badass 2023 (or 2024?) Lambo Aventador when the time is right!

 

[Adoringfan]

Pour one out for Faye,

whoever takes her place will have big cups to fill.

 

[jamiewan]

The people demand more Aly content. She was the first girl, (besides Joy) that you met and needs more appreciation.

It seems like Aly has been getting new content every other update. Hopefully the pattern will continue and the update after the one upcoming will give us what we've all been wanting from Aly for so long. It's also likely that We'll continue to be teased.

Aly's body-type adds great diversity!
Her face, gets kinda cringe'y at times to the point of... ah HAIL to the NO F'n WAY!!
The mouth, scary off-putting thought of waking up next to her staring at You.

Some people are attracted to it so, what ever does it for ya.
Her body is Rock'N, and no... not referring to her amazing tit's as great as they are
Nevertheless, She Should have sex content(vaginal penetration, real sex not stimulation's).

As far as I can follow car terms yes.

The best can have their lives extended beyond all limits, as done for Faye, but one day the wheel will turn and the next evolution of the hobby creating everything will take over.

The old is still there to be admired by those who choose to do so and should time ever become plentiful, well, who knows, polish here, paint job there, (then a minor update for another small life extension is an option)

The old is still there to be admired by those who choose to do so, but ultimately time, tech and creation will not be denied. All that is certain in the progess of things is this, they will be busty

Nothing wrong with upgrading tech and highly recommended for sound reason.
Can even use the SAME Models, just as car manufactures and enthusiasts in kind.
With evolved tech, can make more natural, less like the Elmers Glue cum explosions in HI.

Perhaps skin a bit less carntoonish, per se.
Flow natural as though it resembles being alive.
For example, closer to these textures:

Spoiler: Not from HI

Seen's tech is indeed evolving.
No reason for iconic legacy characters of HI not to, as well.
Unless, HI is unable to evolve with said tech.

*Shrugs*

'we gather here today, to wittiness one MrD812.....may he rest in pieces...... waiting for HI tech evolution'






This Just In......

MrD812's imaginary grandchildren are playing the Beta for Star Citizen............ NEWS@11

Ain't no need for that shit Mister. Faye will always be around, until we move to Minnesota.

 

[mark.33]

when the new version is coming?

 

[benshamrock]

when the new version is coming?

My Best Guess, Mid-January. Looks like he is close to finishing new content, then 2 weeks of beta testing.

 

[Puppet Master]

I will never transfer my loyalty to a new Faye.
I only play one game but would rather quit this game than have a new girl taking her place.
Sorry.
Perhaps we can just wait. Alice fans have been waiting for years.
Maybe the tech will advance enough to save my Faye.
Tears.

I feel you brother. Yvette and Faye were my first HI loves from the jump (see avatar ). Happy that Faye will remain in the game and VERY thankful that darkhound1 increased her content (at some difficulty) before her sun finally sets. I do find great solace in knowing that we'll always have our pool, bar, stripper, gym, shower, beach walks, poker, hotshots, room (blue dress) visit, experiences to keep us content. And the night time walks along the beach...ohhh those nightime walks along the beach...

Does anyone know how to trigger these two scenes with Amy ? I've tried everything to trigger the scene but nothing has happened when I visit her room.

I suspect you haven't completed Amy's earlier quests. Have you considered checking the Companion Guide, linked on the first page of this thread?
