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

To get "Jessica tanning in beach" event which clothes should be use? Bikini or skimpy bikini?

Let me try to explain how adding a new action (like groping or whatever) works and how much time it takes:

Pretty interesting look into the creation process, it is much appreciated that you take the time to write such a comprehensive answer.

I should probably note that the reason I guessed the now rather absurd number of 4x-8x, is because I took the small (12ish scenes/events) without animation as the lowest possible and simply halved that number to get the 4x for the longer 20-30 render scenes (and cheerfully forgot to count the cost of animation found in the longer scenes )

(I can actually imagine the night scene with Ivy. In a humor version of course. Amongst other things I suppose Ivy will apologize for the door, should he be too slow in opening it )

Let me try to explain how adding a new action (like groping or whatever) works and how much time it takes:
1) A new icon has to be added and some lines of code and text. Right now adding a new icon is a bigger problem, because there simply isn't any space left. I've already reduced the icon size to squeeze in the "show breasts" action. So any more and I have to redesign the whole interface in some areas.
2) The poses have to be set up. It's relatively easy if it's just a girl posing with no intervention or interaction with the MC. As soon as it's a mixed interaction, the pose has to be adjusted or even a totally different one has to be used for each girl and sometimes depending on the clothes as well.
3) Right now we have 3 or 4 swim outfits, 3 evening dresses, nurse outfit, 2 reception outfits for each girl. Loading all relevant stuff and setting up a very similar scene with the pose adjustments takes more than 15 minutes on average per girl (you can double that if you need girl *MC). For some the clothes have to be fitted/adjusted as well and the girls's breast posing has to be adjusted (e.g. for push up bras or clothes). So let's say 18 girls * 15 = 270min for scene setup girl alone or twice that for girl + MC.
4) Rendering per image only takes between 3 and 5 minutes. Since I have to change outfits to do the next render and do some adjustments for teh clothes, it's not just PC(render time). I cannot do anything else in the meantime. So another 18*8*4 = 576 min.
5) After all images are done, I postwork most of them in PS. Fix some small issues, change resolution, convert to jpg from png. This is again something between 1 and 2 minutes per image. 18*8*1.5 = 216min

Now if you add all that (not counting Nr. 1), you end up with something about 1.200 min = 20 hours for about 150 renders. That's only 8 minutes per render all included. I cannot work full speed and with dedication on something that is kinda boring and repetitive like that, so it will probably take even longer in the end.
In that amount of time I can do maybe one average length individual scene with sex or an animation.

The main reason for switching to a more story based mode with individual scenes for each girl is that having everything 18 times is not only boring during creation, but also boring and repetitive to play.
Another point is that certain scenes only work with certain types of girls (as in how they look, but also considering their personality). Can you imagine the bad dream/nightmare scene from Yvette with a girl like Amy? It just wouldn't fit. There are also some things (like titfucks or other breast related scenes) that simply won't work with all girls. Same for the special scenes with Ivy. She is just too special and different.

It's a tough job and we applaud and appreciate all of the dedication you put into making an enjoyable quality product.

500 Patreons. That calls for a Beer at Yumiko's.

(It'll go up and down around months end of course. And, unless Darkhound has switched to money up front, am sure some of those 500 are freeloaders abusing patreon's join/leave within the same month option, but still)

Hi guys and gals,
with 0.1.2 beta and later versions, the choice menu will be changed.

• Position is no longer in the middle, but very far up now
• Oppacity has been reduced, so that you can see better what's behind
• Spacing/distance between the menu choices has been reduced as well

Also the text box at the lower end of the screen has been changed. I have made it smaller and less intruding.

All these changes should help to get an even better game experience.

Hope you like them.

@ Paido Boy - Jessica has to be in the green Bikini

Done thx u. But now im stuck in Jessica swim at night event. What time shes at pool in night?

 

[NextTimeMaybe]

Guys, I keep having trouble with Desire. Whenever she's present, a bug pops up, can't do anything with her, so basically had to remove her from the island completely. Anyway to go around this?

There is no specific time. However 1:00am on seems to work best.

Just saying you can't do anything with her is too general. Without you describing the bug and when it occurs or better yet providing a traceback file it is impossible to say what it going on.

 

[Blodgharm]

How can i follow Amy to ladies room in the nightbar?

 

[hgamefix]

Anyone can explain how endurance affect the girls? maybe on certain action?

 

[j0tar0]

How can i follow Amy to ladies room in the nightbar?

with blue evening dress

This is one of the errors that pop up. This specific one happened, when I tried to give her chocolates. Basically, whatever I do with her results in errors. Not only that, random errors pop up in her presence even if I'm not doing anything with her specifically.

 

[NextTimeMaybe]

Okay, I think I got it. Looks like I screwed her up with cheat codes, so will simply have to work my way back, or start a new game.

Cheat codes are great and all, better than having to grind, grind, however as the developer pointed out way back when, using them incorrectly can 'bork' the game. Try using one of your earlier saves hopefully before you used the cheat code and see if that helps.

Is Desire ignored?
