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

[BDMick]

Thanks, the pose works well, the rest suffers somewhat though.

I never really managed to resolve post-work for that skin and my girls tend to be a lot bigger and wider that Daniela is so the format has a bit of fitting issues (something Miriam, Mercedes and Ivy get around, of course).

Which can lead to iffy results (casual is casual, so adapting is not that easy wihtin the time I have).

A fact that can most easily be demonstrated by (a snippet from) the original render and its inhabitant who do not have the "duck goes boink" challenges.

She is the end result of the black girl talks in this forum (years ago, and also my somewhat on topic excuse for that matter)

You should not forget this link though so that we can get the full picture of all her amazing curves!

I'm trying to do Eva's weight-lifting scene, but she says I can't fix the clamps, then I jump out at the quest add, so I get stuck with not being able to get out or move from the weight scene, is that a bug?

Check that post if it is the same issue as yours.

True, was a bit of an afterthought I posted her there (DA is a semi-dead site for anything non-AI) and then the old memory segments forgot to update everywhere. I like her too btw, she is all sorts of yummy

Still, you do good work nevertheless.

Yummy indeed!

Excuse me, if this was asked before (didn't find that info on previous pages), but how far this game is from completion?

Also, is the release on Steam possible in the future? Thanks!

Nobody knows, not even Darkhound himself. He will probably continue until he loses interest (hopefully not for a long time!). Release on Steam, probably not. The question was asked before and Darkhound declined.

Only the developer, darkhound1 knows when the game will be completed, but he has already said that the game will not be released on Steam.

Beat me to it again Zap!

 

[DuckSwim]

Beat me to it again Zap!

If it is any comfort he also beat me to it too, I was theory crafting (then gave up)
Short version,

No steam.

People usually assume Endless Island. But the "Yacht" was mused as a standalone game option, this (to me) suggests that a new main zone or new game is the most realistic future (year? years?)

Note. Speculative guesswork.

Hmm, not sure about the yacht as a standalone option. Even while it is a big yacht it is a lot smaller than the island. We now mainly know the hotel. And have some idea about the existence of the lab, but no real idea yet about it's size. Also there is an airstrip, but we haven't seen anything about it yet. And the existence of the yacht means there may be a dock somewhere too. So I feel the island has a lot more potential than just the yacht.

We'll have to see.

As for sizes, I view the size of resort/island to Yacht/world as reversed (the "yacht" and the surrounding world/Islands it can cruise to are infinitely bigger, more varied and hold more potential than the single resort/island).

So I lean to my original guesswork pointing towards new "something".

That sounds a lot more reasonable, the yacht as a means to teleport sowewhere else. There are more games featuring a yacht, but the authors all have the same problem. When they want a change of scenery they have to resort to things like helicoptering to another ship or introducing land locations. The hard part about new locations for Darkhound will be the amount of work involved to create them. Look at the effort he expended on the lab and the sailboat trip. I can't see him pushing out new locations on each update like some devs do. That is simply not the man's standard of quality.

Indeed, but not just as a teleport, a roaming main location in itself.

The resort is not using a materially bigger space (if you add up the locations and ground used) at this point than a "Joy Class" super yacht would contain.

But in truth that is details.

The "Yacht" is not important in and of itself, it is at its core a huge main location that can hold everything it needs or if it should wish to do so also travel.

What form it takes (or even being a yacht for that matter) is ultimately not important.

What is given is that the resort is vast and old, and be it old design constraints or age, it is feeling both. Change therefore seems likely, what form it takes remains to be seen, and while a yacht has been mused, it is an unknown for now.

I'm glad you mentioned that, since on more than one occasion in the past I have compared Holiday Island to Nintendo's Endless Ocean, but with busty babes and adult/lewd content instead of a family-friendly game with fish. I personally see the appeal of the Endless Island approach, but I also recognize it's inherent limitations and challenges.

Indeed. Many of the environment assets currently used in Holiday Island are "Genesis 2 era" (SKU 20000 series) and "early Genesis 3 era" (SKU 30000 series) environment assets, or Poser equivalents from the same time period (I know that the Lab, Yacht, and Photo Studio assets are newer (SKU 40000-50000 series), but still Genesis 3 era). Transiting to a new main venue (sequel game?) would likely facilitate the use of newer, more detailed and feature-rich Genesis 8-9 era environment assets (SKU 60000-90000 series). Just speculation on my part, of course.

Just speculation on my part, of course.

Guesswork on my part too, and ups and downs to the various approaches, be it the existing or another.
(And I simply have to say Dave the Diver when anyone mentions anything involving diving into the sea )

I've tried it but it doesn't work, it's the same problem in fact, but typing in the console doesn't change anything... Other solutions?

I recognized the nightbar environment from another game, so I know it is pretty old:

The girls in the game look to be Genesis 3 or 8. Does anyone know if they are customized models of the dev's own making or can they be purchased somewhere as-is?

I believe the girls are all currently G3F. I also believe that several of the IRL older ones (versus "in game" older, i.e. Joy and Daniela) originated as G2F and were upgraded to G3F at some point. Obviously, Darkhound (and I think DuckSwim) can answer that more authoritatively.

They are all G3F at this point.
Some are native to it, others like Faye were migrated to it.

Darkhound1's Deviant Art can be used to gauge the age and origin (G2F, V4, G3F) of the older girls.
