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

[DuckSwim]

More UI updates (0.1.8 preview)

First impression is that it looks more modern and elegant, is an eye pleaser for sure.
Having the old gui as an backup option is a good thing too.

Will be interesting to see how it works under game conditions for values that are relevant to know on the fly ex. for the different girls present on screen at a location. Hovering and then choosing might become cumbersome when needing to check many girls on screen quickly.

An option to make the girl info box persistent (Always be on screen, track the last girl) and use character render clicking (update the girl tracked based on the player clicking the character render of the girls present on screen at a location) could be a good idea I believe.

Hard to say until having tried it. So is speculation on the potential tradeoffs between looks and functionality (The old being less elegant but very informative and the new "hiding" at least some of the info but being much more elegant)

To just fix this error, you can use the console:
g_phone.show_inactive_chars = True

But I really don't understand how this is possible when everything else is working. It's part of the update process to 0.1.7.0
Since some variables can get wrong values and quests could be doubled, I can't recommend to run the update to 0.1.7.0 manually again.
Running the updates to 0.1.7.1 and 0.1.7.2 several times is not a problem. But it wouldn't help or fix anything in your case.

DH - thanks for the suggestion but I am still having a problem.
I inserted the line as you listed g_phone.show_inactive_chars = True into the console without any problem. However I still get the exception error only on the girls widget in the phone.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thank you for your help.

The idea is that it's not a trade off, but the best of both worlds.
I'm still working on it and making changes - lots of changes, while trying to keep it compatible with the old UI.

Here is what the new UI can do so far:

• quick display of stats for 2 different girls, icons are used to change the girl
• quick display of player stats
• smart watch is shown when mouse hovers over girls in free roaming mode
• when girl is clicked in free roaming mode, "girl1" is changed to the clicked girl. "Girl2" can only be manually selected.
• the smart watch overlay has been moved up - it's more intuitive like this (imo at least)
• hints/tooltips for every icon are available and displayed below the icons
• the UI can be hidden and shown using a small button

And some plans for even more functionality:

• possibility to to have the smart watch data for one girl always visible and not only when you hover the mouse over the image (have to see how to integrate that one into the UI)
• Different symbols for night and day time (the "sunset symbol" is just a placeholder right now)
• Add easy access to mods by clicking on a button
• Work on the right panel of the UI (this won't be added with 0.1.8, but later)

Attached are two preview videos to see the new UI in action

Very nice.

Think Natasha feels a bit left out in those clips.
But it is a good thing for humanity that she is not in them!

As we all know from our Joy-Science seminars :

1 Faye Equivalent distorts light around the gravitational center
2 Faye Equivalents puts even major objects into orbit
3 Faye Equivalents makes the Sun rotate around the Earth
4 Faye Equivalents ... we are not certain actually, no male has ever returned from passing beyond the event horizon

Something which you wisely took into account when building the Holiday Island interface.
You foresaw, that one day, you might add a 4th Rack and thereby theoretically reaching 4 FE (Aly, Faye, Ivy, Natasha).

Limiting it to 3 on screen girls saved humanity, well, the male part at least

NO, NO, NO!

A thousand times no. Stop trying to make the game more fun to play and easier to access pertinent information. I just want to sit in my mom's basement and fap until my arm gets sore. By the way, did I mention I hate big boobs? But that is only because I'm scared my tiny dick will not fit between them. Make the game have a begining and an end. All these options confuse me.

Hmm, I am missing the rant about a walkthrough in this bit

Or that reading is hard, the game is borderline text adventure! Takes too damn long to skip

Great game and update but who I need to sacrifice to get more scenes for my girl Réene?

dosh to darkhound1 on patreon, and a constant push for her there.

 

[Ascetic]

Exciting news for next update! In the meanwhile, just a couple more reports of minor bugs from 1.7.2 + quick fix (all concerning sexting, ugh...):
- Yumiko doesn't seem to be sending more than 3 guessing game messages, and the night event with her proposing to play doesn't appear anymore either (she either goes down on you or re-tells Joy's first meeting);
- Of the 3 possible messages from Yvette's dinner set, only one is constantly re-sent after you re-do the event, the one where she wears Yumiko's waitress dress. Never seen the other two after multiple re-runs of the event.

To get Yvette's other 2 special sexts, you need to visit her at night & see her in her blue lingerie twice. She will send you a sext each time.

For Yumiko's Guess Who game, you need to not have an erection twice. First she will tell you how she met Joy & send you sexts, second time she will start the Guess Who game. If she stops sending you the pics, it may just be bad luck, or it may have gotten stuck. Trying to get her to restart won't work. Try this: open the console with <SHIFT-o> then type:
call create_minigame_picture_pool

For most of them you can't. Some tell the MC their age themselves (like Joy), others you can overhear during talking when eating or as answers to questions during Hotshots. But as far as I know it is nowhere relevant to know their age.

Okay!! Thanks for your answer.

 

[Puppet Master]

From my FAQ:
How can I find out the ages of the girls?
Right now there is no way to find out the ages of all of the girls. Joy and Jennifer will tell you their ages as part of their story. You can also find out the ages of the girls who play Hot Shots: Amy, Aly, Brenda, Heather, Renee and Yvette. One of the Personal Questions is "How old is she?" If you answer this correctly, the slot on your phone will fill in.
