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

[Bueno]

All I can say is Wow...

If the game is at a version number of 0.0.7, then that makes it super early in development... That is not a criticism, but an actual fact... Not sure why anyone on this Earth would take that comment as a negative... If the version had been, lets say 0.7.0, then it would be over half way done... But it's listed as 0.0.7...

I work with release management on a daily basis. Version numbers in software development has nothing to do with percentage complete and there's nothing that say that 0.10.0 = 1.0 or such. It's a completely arbitrary sequencing number without standards other than 1.0 generally meaning an official release, a concept that's however completely diluted for these kind of games and it's usually not even honored by big developers (just check out any MS product).

So just stop thinking you can discern how "complete" a game is from its version number.

Thank you very much. So I don't have to say that Firefox is currently 5200% complete

ok..

so what is that arrival scene exactly ?

because i started a new game ( obviously as the old saves didnt work ) .. i go in the island and i didnt have see any arrival scene or something similar .... i m alreday at 25 days on the island..

what is these scene supposed to be/show ?

Hmm, that's strange. Did you meet Joy on day 10?
You should get an arrival scene the next day when you go to reception or your room.

Sorry if I somehow offended so many people just because I said something was early in development... I was using percentages as an example, not as dogma... For those in the gaming universe that are not developers, to the layman, such a low version number implies an early version (regardless of source)... And there really is no reason to take offense, as it was a review based on my own opinions and thoughts, not from a developers point of view, but from a players point of view... If a comment about the version number is so detrimental to a developers sense of how good or bad their product is, and they feel that offended by such a meaningless, non threatening, comment... Then something else must be going on...

I apologize if that small insignificant comment offended someone in my review... Because that is a first... And I can tell you, it was not meant as a negative, but a reflection of a perceived fact, in order to portray that there was a lot more content inbound (which should be perceived as a good thing)... If that isn't true, then all you have to do is say so...

Overall, I thought my review was pretty positive about the game, so I find it pretty odd that of everything I said in the review, people would be somehow offended by me saying early in development, which implies there is more content to look forward to... It makes me wonder if people are just looking for any reason, no matter how small, to be offended... Like they run around with chips on their shoulders, and their knees, etc... Just breathing in their general direction knocks off a chip, and sets them off...

Hi Darkhound, love you game so far! I am looking forward to it's progress. If you keep this up I may even consider becoming one of your patreons .

Three quick questions though if you mind me asking:
- How can you aquire the new swimsuit for Amy? (edit: figured it out, shame you haven't rendered her scenes with the new swimsuit yet but the suit itself looks great! How do you get the wet T-shirt outfit or is that not implemented yet?)
- Also it seems I have been unable to get her new scene in the ladies bathroom at the nightclub, even with all of her stats maxed out and trying her pole dance scene and the drinking scene numerous times. (edit: figured it out by looking at the images aswell, she needs to be wearing the basic outfit to trigger)
- Same goes voor Yvette's reception scene, got all her stats maxed and tried every day of her working week at from between 21-24 hours. (edit: still havent figured this one out yet)

Thanks in advance!

Also i might have noticed a bug: on day 10 Joy aksed me for a new girl, i picked desire but at 24:00 that same day Jessicas arrival scene popped up. i know Desires arrival scene is bugged but jessica is now also present on the island so i basically got two girls for one. Is it normal that you get two girls (one picked and one granted) at day 11? And during the events with Joy on day 10, the day timer jumps to 15:00 during joys scenes but sets back to 8:30 after her scene and you are returned to your bedroom. It's just a minor cosmetic bug but id still like to point it out!

Got a bug with Faye. Everytime I go to either reception or the hotel room, I get her arrival scene. I loaded in bug fix 1 but it did nothing as far as that goes.

The poker minigame is really obnoxious, takes way too much time. Please add a way to cheat in it.

 

[spooge_nugget]

A bug I just remembered encountering when I played thanks to all the mentions of poker was:
- If you (the player) go all in and win, then you don't receive your winnings and end up with low/0/negative chip count (this happened to me more than once).

There is already a way to cheat. Just use the save button after you win, reload if you lose for a new hand with no lost chips. This should let you undress any girl (even the tough ones) in a few minutes of playing.

- Also it seems I have been unable to get her new scene in the ladies bathroom at the nightclub, even with all of her stats maxed out and trying her pole dance scene and the drinking scene numerous times.

It seems that after one certain action her "Max love" increases from 50 to 100, so even if you had amy's love maxed before inviting her for a drink the love check will fail. I got around it using the console, but if you want to achieve the scene without cheating then maybe it's necessary to increase her love some more before inviting her for a drink another day.

Thank you very much. So I don't have to say that Firefox is currently 5200% complete

I applied the bugfix and I get an error the day after meeting with Joy, suppossedly is the arrival scene for the new girl but I get

[aradius]

With maxed out stats i meant 100 for love, affection, lust and favor . I use the console somtimes aswell, the grind is surreal XD!

 

[YALNIZDENiZCi]

You get the event only once more. After that it's done.
If it doesn't work like that, you did not apply the bug fix the correct way.

Ok. I solved problem Bro. New version super but next version must be perfect.

 

[Rolo]

Kissing amap helps a lot with love stats. Got ladies toilet scene without problem.

 

[Rolo]

I guess, green pill is still not working ? Otherwise we could put one into Amys wiskey

 

[SpearOfReigns]

where do I put the bugfix folder? In the exact "Holiday Island v.007 Alpha" folder or on some other folder inside it?

 

[Storm4n]

@darkhound1 please do give us the pills console ID I'm tired of having my PC wank like a madman! we gon get so frustrated we're going to download the RPY suit just to open the scripts and see the ID :'(

 

[Redluffy]

Hey does anyone have all of the cheats for this version

 

[Gert_Boomans]

Hey does anyone have all of the cheats for this version

here you go, found these myself on a smal guide a few posts back.
Do you have access to the console? If so just press shift and o at the same time ,type these in and press enter:
MC stats:
- player.charm = 5
- player.looks = 5
- player.hacking = 5
- player.strenght = 10
- player.endurence = whatever (this one does nothing so far)
- player.lust = whatever (lower this if your lust is to high and you dont want to wack in the pants lol)

For the girls: (lower case is important so no caps!)
- name.lust = 100
- name.rsm[0].favor = 100
- name.rsm[0].affection = 100
- name.rsm[0].love = 100
rsm[0] indicated these stats apply to the girl in relation to the mc so this is required to work.

havent figured the max variables out yet.
