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

[brianiac]

There is no shortage of young ladies that Darkhound1 could put in the game, but there are so many on the island already that need more content.

That clothing store is very popular in these games!

Amy gets 2 new sexting images and updates to her old sexting images (higher res and webp format) --> will be added with 0.1.8.3

Balancing changes:

Necessary endurance train points when having 50 max endurance has been reduced to 3, so you can get to 60 endurance after initial half week when you use the massage once. Reason: Having only 50 endurance hurts gameplay too much --> will be added with 0.1.8.3

charm train points to get from 1 to 2 have been reduced from 6 to 5, to make it easier to advance after the first half week. All others have been slightly increased, because gaining charm was too easy --> will be added with 0.1.8.3

Bug fixes

Mercedes posing scene: Crash with "IndexError: list index out of range" - only happens when you started a new game in version 0.1.8.0 or later --> will be fixed with 0.1.8.3

Fixed a crash when you visit Amy's room and she is in her swimwear: could not find image (u'characters/Amy/Amy_swim3_base.png') --> will be fixed with 0.1.8.3

There is still a bug concerning the sequence when sexting images are shown. As a result, you might not be able to see them all, or get strange sorting, etc. (there is nothing wrong with the game data, it only needs a code update) --> will be fixed with 0.1.8.3

Two fun renders that are not part of the game.
A size comparison between Yvette and Amy

Yvette in her plattform high heels and Amy without shoes.


Yvette in her plattform high heels and Amy with (high) heels.


Please note that these two are just some 4 minute quick renders, so the quality is not the best.

[/QUOTE]
I thought most of the ladies liked to get their protein straight from the source (MC)! Oh, that's for the MC, yes, he needs to stay hydrated!

 

[matriks]

I was thinking if few of the girls make their breasts bigger so maybe in future author gonna make option also to increase breasts size of the girls) I really wanted to see Yvette with Natasha breasts size)

 

[Saint Creek]

I got into this game just a few days ago and so far all I found to do is try to get the girls to like MC and some sex scenes. So is there an overall plot/story to this or not? Please feel free to give spoilers.

There kinda is? It's not really a focus and I wouldn't say it's the goal or anything. It's more like a chain of events you need to do to see more sexy stuff. So far it's mostly what wacky body morphing Joy's company is doing. I don't think we have a why yet.

 

[Saint Creek]

Yeah I get that. Joy’s supposed to be 50+ and found a way to make herself look young. The ‘Why’ is still not presented.

Thanks.

 

[norb82]

Thanks.

Talk with Jennifer. About the why.

That's okay, we don't mind fast food

There is no why, there is only The Bewbs ( Yoda when horny ).

 

[DuckSwim]

Ah yes, Yoda.

If he had more green boob he would not have become old wrinkled and worried over the lack of boobs.
Sitting in that tower asking others, Have you seen boobs? No have you? No ...

Poor guy, he even built his retirement mud hut like boobs.

Now he just mumbles about the force instead of explaning that lights swords are called that because their intended purpose is to make clothes transparent enough to see through.

Of course in his defense, it is not that the other school of "Jedi" are better, I mean, they build their doomsday devices formed as boobs.

"Look at the size of that thing". And yet none of them think, Oh man, it is so obvious, boobs could solve this, who got some? I guess thats what happens in a Galaxy were all the female heroes are flat

 

[Bantry]

Bewbs, good they are.

Subject : Bantry.
Diagnosis : Pumpkin fever. Severe case.

Analysis: Getting halloween into the game is, I believe, ruled out already. It would be huge work and next version is already dedicated to the first installment of the sandbox rework.

Adapting Solution ; Best bet is to settle on a girl and hope for a non-game Halloween Render or two for her.
One that could be posted both on Deviant, Patreon and here as a Halloween greeting from a holiday Island girl.

Alternative Solution : Implode Faye class pumpkin, accept black hole casualties, we shall miss Bantry /salute.

I agree it probably won't make the game this year. However, a few sexts or two would be a nice twist.
Something along the lines of -
"Hi Honey, wanted to give you a sneak peek of my Halloween costume Jennifer designed for me."

 

[Pepooooooooo]

At what time I should go to Jennifer room to complete the story quest? Its says after dinner time and Im going at 21;00 when she is not at work, but still just say hi and thats it..

Try between 19h and 21h. She must be in her bunny outfit and there is a chance for the dialogue to trigger.

 

[Puppet Master]

From my FAQ (SPOILERS!):

101) How do I get the conclusion of Jennifer's transformation story? How do I have sex with Jennifer? How do I get Jennifer's special sexts?

I think that Bantry's Costume contest is doable, but it would work better as a Cosplay contest instead of a Halloween idea. If it's Halloween, it's too American & happens only once per year. If darkhound1 puts the work into it, it should become a big part of the game. A cosplay contest could happen every Fri. at the bar with Jennifer as host. The girls could pose in the pole dance area. There could be a letter informing everyone of the contest. There could even be a quest to get the girls costumes for the contest.
The Halloween idea might be easier to impliment. Each girl could show up at the PC's door in a costume for trick or treat. Of course, that's still 18 renders.

 

[DuckSwim]

Not to pour cold water on it, but anything that involves the game and outfits to all girls is months of work hours.

You are probably looking at 30-60mins for the first render and 15mins for each additional.
And that is once everything else is done and ready (which takes a ton of time too)

Here it also pays to remember that the amount of renders consumed is generally much higher than people think and that Darkhound generally has high standards (so not going to be a quick and dirty one render pr. girl deal).

Then there is that you'd likely need to win a patreon vote too.

So doable, sure. We just need more Darkhounds.
(or stick to hoping for non-game Halloween renders)
