Please be patient waiting for the release. On Friday he said it would be out in a few days. This update grew to gigantic proportions over the month, and if Darkhound releases it too early, it could cause problems overall. We've been waiting for the wet t-shirt contest for a long time, but we'll have it soon.

I think that the next update will have some Delizia special content, then fill in some blanks. All the girls need the grope and flash action. Darkhound said that he'd like to have more post-poker lapdances. Sexting for Faye & Renee probably. Right there is 200 renders. So I think that the 1.4 update will also be huge.

hello everyone, my first post on the forum. ive actually been following the forums for a long time but just reading and downloading. i really liked this game, though it is too grindy and doesnt involve much story. it takes quite a time to trigger some thing and improve stats since i am not cheating but i am not complaining. maybe the game could include more story and more secrets to reveal and we could try to fight against the bad stuff the ceo (or other big guys who are not yet introduced) are willing to do to avoid the bad ending (better if that bad ending would be toooo far away cuz i really wanna see more content in this game).
Also i really hope there will be more Heather in the next update (and updates). I am her fan :)
and also maybe i did not progress too much, i am only on day 29 and stats : looks:1/5 (is there a way to improve it btw?i use hair spray or whatever to increase it for sometime but that is all), charm:4/5, Strength:8/10, Hacking/Sneaking: 1/5, Endurance 60.
Also another wish is if we could have a dark (black)-short (short is not necessary) haired, white skinned (like Heather) and blue eyed girl in the game with prefably at the same size tits with Renee. plus some tattoos on her back and (or) near belly down to her pussy. Actually (i dont know if it is against the rules but im gonna write it if against the rules mods can delete it or i can edit the post next time i come here), i am describing a little bit Elsa from Dreaming with Elsa game.
And the last wish is to have more and real blowjob scenes in the game :) the one with Alice is quite dissapointing for me it is like tit fuck and you barely see the dick lol. A real animated blowjob with all of the meat in the mouth would be welcome :)
anyway, thanks to @Darkhound for the awesome game, keep up the good work.

With a wish list that long I forsee a 10 dollar patreon subscription in your future.

Or hitting this link if a 5 dollar patreon, where darkhound since 20th of October happens to take suggestions (lots of suggestions there already obviously)

@darkhound1, one misspelling I just noticed again--during her lapdance, Eva says the surgeon who did her implants was a "geneious"; it should be "genius" . . .
I believe this and many other misspellings are already slated to be corrected in the next update. One of the things I have so liked about Darkhound1 is his exceptional responsiveness to feedback.

Damn!
Good to see that Darkhound still continues to improve, especially if this is just a test model without too much finetuning.
I feel a bit sorry for the "old" girls when the new ones get better and better. A new redhead with such a physique would be hard competition indeed and not just for Heather.
A few humble suggestions: make her a real daywalker redhead with tanlines, add more volume and length to her hair, give her some freckles and let her keep some bush. :heartcoveredeyes:

Change of subject.
I just recently noticed that the game has very high CPU usage when idling in-game, about 1/3 of a single core. It gets absolutely ridiculous when the game is minimized because then the single core usage climbs to ~95%. This can't be normal.
I compared this to some other renpy games and only Holiday Island behaved this way. Of those games I tested the latest compressed version of My Cute Roommate surprisingly had the best coding in this regard. Even fast mouse movement over clickable objects hardly increased CPU usage which happens in all other games. Might be worth looking into.

Yeah, I feel a bit the same when the new and old girls square off.

(although the random fitness girl here is at 70 likes and therefore spectacularly well received and thus a bit unfair to compete/compare against. Probably a good idea he has not named her yet, there'd be a crusade in her name :p)

Will probably be a returning "issue" that the teasers or new intros belonging to newer generations (or simply best of breed that Darkhound shows off :)) will leave some of the older or weaker girls as "contrast" or "filler"

I suppose it is both a function, of

(1) the original line ups creation process or history with building up/bulking up a line up and its attempts to cater to a wide range of tastes, some of which likely were guessed at rather than known at the time (no drooling Patreon horde available to click click their votes).

(2) and Darkhound improving with time, experience or inspiration.

I guess it is one of the pitfalls that has to be/is being navigated : How to juggle priorities & justify time and effort put into weaker performers, when more popular performers that cater to larger segments are available.

Mixing and matching. maybe some should have more. others less. etc. hm. plenty of work.

Going well so far though and funny enough it will likely be a spectacular succes girl (like this one) rather than any complaints (not hearing any of those) that will make patreons clamour for a particular entry :D (well ... more than they/we drool over any new girl that is :D :D)

Ilde musings & wild guesses aside, can't comment on the other games but,

- Moving mouse fast over objects give me about 10-15%% extra on one CPU on an old I5-3570 (negligible load difference).
- Having the game minimized over a period of 30 mins while playing another game, browsing, see a movie clip or simply idle produced no CPU spike attrbutable to HI.

So mileage can/will vary.

Alright I did some more testing.
Seems like it has something to do with the images displayed. If I push H for the test image single core usage decreases to <5%. Still higher when minimized, it then usually stays below 15% with some spikes up to 20%.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate with a 10-year old Q9550 @ stock settings.

Does HI use AVX? My notebook with Win 10 and Nehalem CPU shows the same behavior but duckswimming's Ivy Bridge CPU doesn't have this problem.

Hey all, I didn't see it mentioned in the OP or in the thread, so forgive me if I've missed it, but the cheats for poker have changed due to the object structure.
i.e.
it used to be
g_poker_game.participants[1] = 0
(for setting girls chips to 0)
and
g_poker_game.participants[0] = 500
(for setting your chips to 500)

it is now
g_poker_game.participants[1].chips = 0
and
g_poker_game.participants[0].chips = 500

That's it. I hope this helps.

If you do the Eva/Yumiko scene twice, the second time her affection will be high enough that you can stare at her chest without her getting mad.
My question is, will we be able to increase Yumiko's stats like we do Jennifer?
Will we be able to do the same for Joy?

Their stats can be changed via the console cheat codes. Couldn't tell you about the 'grind' method.
