I have two questions.
The first one, I need to talk about the past of one of the girls over a drink, but I am not given the option to ask her. Should I ask her for a drink or should I have another interaction with her?
The second one, the game says we have a 3 month vacation. Does the game really end after 90 days?

The answer to your second question is, no there isn't a time limit on the game. I'm currently on day 800+ and Joy hasn't kicked me off the island yet. As for your first question, it is hard to say without knowing which girl you are talking about. Typically you ask the girl to have a drink with you in the Nightbar and talk with her. However, it may take more than one instance of having a drink with her and her stats and what outfit she is wearing may come into play also.

Have you downloaded and read the Companion Guide linked on the first page of this thread? You can find lots of useful info within, even if you decide not to venture into SpoilerLand that often gives detail directions about how to complete an achievement.

Is there is a way to update my version without downloading the whole game again?
Not for the next update which will be v.0.3.8.0 which is an entirely new version from the previous. However, your previous saves from earlier versions will load and automatically update to the latest version. Cautionary note: That's your saves not someone else's. While someone else's save may load, much of the prior content cannot be viewed or repeated. Even if it means starting from day one, you are far better off downloading the next release and the Companion Guide, than trying to mess with trying to use someone else's saves.

Full answer

3.6 -> 3.7 is a full version.
3.7.0 -> 3.7.1 is an update.
3.6.0 -> 3.7.1 is a full version + update



Short version

Updates are only used for bug fixes not for content, the answer is no.

Good lord that's hot!

What are the chances of getting a version of that one with a super-shocked Ivy staring at the Twins' fully-flexed physiques?:sneaky:
I've checked :unsure:

  • .
  • .
  • Humanity survives AI
  • Darkhound1 can remember where he put the boat
  • We make it to the boat before Cthulhu sinks the resort
  • Team Snu-Snu is a thing, also threesomes are foursomes now
  • I figure out flex instead of carrying Ashley's butt and eyeing Red's boobs <- We are here
  • Darkhound1 makes Cthulhu the captain.
  • .
Realistic Cthulhu time lines and RE4 Remake ;)

Hi! I wanted to share my appreciation for the game and the hot as fuck roster of characters!
Been playing this game for a while and keep returning to it regularly to see what's new :)

Amy has been my favorite since forever, but I must say the new Ivy could easily dethrone her!
I love her new hair design, especially in combination with the blue dress.

I hope you don't mind me asking this; what's the plan going forward for Ivy?
Will she potentially receive more content if her new design is popular among the community? (Which I hope it is!)
Very much appreciated the decision to improve her model and update her older content. She went from someone I'd largely ignore to a character I'd always like to see more of on the island ;)

One last question, I appear to have a bug where my mail/messages don't show in the phone. I get a notification that I received a new mail, but nothing is listed there. I'm on 1.7.1.

Thanks for making this awesome game Darkhound! And thanks to everybody who's making these awesome fanarts!

Cheers!

There is no full answer to the question.
But some things are known or can be theory crafted.

Plans (known)
The plan is first and foremost to get her consistent (the upcoming release).
So that there is only one version of her in the game.

Intentions (known)
She advanced from a side character to a regular and justified a lot of effort getting updated.
So Darkhound1 almost certainly likes her more than the old Ivy.

Popularity (public)
There was a Patreon vote in January 2023.
She is not amongst the top 7 that was posted in public.

But I believe I can be given a bit of leeway to say she placed in the upper half of the 23 girls.
So she is fairly popular now.

Content (theory craft)
Does that translate into more? Unknown. The "popular gets more" is no longer active, stopped in 2021.
But we can craft a bit
  • She has clearly improved her standing
    • Developer
    • Patreons (huge leap)
  • She advanced to regular
  • Completed status is a thing now (It is in the game files)
    • It is fair to assume, at least some, girls will start to move there (at some unknown point in the future)
  • She probably counts as "new" girl (2022 Remake)
    • So active status almost a given (for the time being)
So while I'd assume a pause (after all the updating) she looks pretty okay.
