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

I never realized about the balls size...

Jordan Carver says the same...


" I've never really paid much attention to the ball size "

And I agree with her, my attention is not on the boob, sorry ball size

You guys should both watch Sinners in Paradise on Youtube. Only takes 70+ minutes. A lot more lethal than Gilligan, but the same idea of a mix of classes who need to work if they want to survive. Only a lot of people can't, and some die.
Many episodes of Lost are good, but ultimately the Truth Wasn't Out There.

Thank you for the recommendation!


here is the Gilligan episode of Baywatch, the only one I heard about Gilligan before (yes, I am the "Baywatch-generation" )

Well, since we had that discussion about balls size...
I have redone the snooker renders. The balls are in different colors now and smaller.

Since the ball size has to be consistent in the game, I had to adjust the guy as well...
All ball sizes reduced by about 40%.

...Just kidding...

When Amy said she was going to pocket our balls ... bit worried in all honesty

And that she'd grip her own wood to knock the balls around with?
Walked with my back to a wall for a week ...

Also I may have fainted when she explained the color the balls would have

So I am just relieved it turned out to be snooker

 

[Puppet Master]

I hope Jennifer will explain how to play snooker because outside of ball size, I know nothing about the game.

I cannot imagine Darkhound will implement a physical snooker game inside Holiday Island.
(but maybe thats' just my imagination being too limited )

Snooker is a realworld resource and have oceans of good guides, here you go

They play Darts in bars. There's already an Android game. Just a little modification to adapt it to HI.

Key questions: Was Eva in her Skimpy Bikini? Did she tell you that her breasts were implants? Did you check your phone to see if the quest had truly begun?

From my FAQ (Spoilers!):

82) How do I start the quest to find out about Eva's breasts? How do I finish it? How do I get Eva's reward date in my room? Is the reward date repeatable?

This "You will then be bold enough to talk to her about how her breasts got so big. She will tell you that her former boyfriend's rich father paid for the operations, but it was Joy who fixed everything so that her breasts are actually natural." didn't happen when she came to visit. :/

When you originally walked with her on the beach did she tell you about wanting to have big breasts and had operations to make that happen? Actually did that occur before you had her win one of the contests?

THIS: Does your phone say that Eva's quest has begun?
Answer this question first, then we can help.

Just walking on the beach with her may not start the quest.

If the quest isn't started, then
"You will then be bold enough to talk to her about how her breasts got so big. She will tell you that her former boyfriend's rich father paid for the operations, but it was Joy who fixed everything so that her breasts are actually natural." won't happen, even though Eva's reward date does.

Now I really want to play darts with the girls.

Reading their game description pretty sure "Death Room" will kill the dart idea, by association if nothing else.

Been playing all day and I love Amy and Jessica the most.

Darts can be a dangerous game...



But at least she offered to remove it and kiss it better

[Selek]

The game gives the player too many points for using charm. Reading works fine, but there is never any need to read for charm after day 3 since you already have too many charm points from talking to the girls.
You could just require more charm points to get to the next level.

I agree, Charm is too easy to maximize. I haven't failed a charm check since the first week. I like the idea of requiring more charm points, or maybe provide 10 levels of charm, the same as strength and endurance. I might even suggest the same for hacking. Why just five levels? But then, I love the slow burn. I don't think of it as grinding; to me, it's slow progression.

I'm sure I'm in the minority on this, but I wonder if there should always be some small risk of failure, even at an ability's max, to increase tension in the game -- so long as the punishment for failure was minor. But even I'm not sure I'd like this idea, heh. Just spitballing.

 

[darkhound1]

I think that the second skill pick is a good idea since it gets the player started faster.
You once told me that advancement seemed too quick, but players don't like grinding.

Well, I'm not doing what players think I should do or what "should be done". I read suggestions and if I agree or just missed something and it's obvious, I change or adjust it.
In other cases I simply have a different opinion and that's it. No change will be done.
A lot of players also like incest, girls with small breasts, VNs, anal, ..., whatever
I didn't create this game to make everybody happy, not that it would be possible.

Every game that is not a VN has a certain amount of what everyone calls "grind". It's part of the game mechanics. Personally I can't stand VNs where you just mindlessly click your left mouse button until you see something you like.
For me, advancing stats to get more achievements (or better ones) is not "grind". It's just part of the game. Having to talk 20 times to a girl to advance affection/love is not ideal. I know that and it will change over time (it already is different for Amy). With Amy the game feels very different already in that regard.

I have lowered the probability to advance charm whenever a charm check is done from 100% to 25%.
I have to say, you probabliy spend a lot more time playing the game than I did. Maybe I should give it another complete playthrough to get a better feeling for balacing, advancements and frustration level

While you all work out what ball size is good, and how to play Darts...

Me and Natalia went to the beach (social distancing of course )
We had a game of water pistols (aka super soaker)...



I did get a bit jealous of the inflatable crocodile getting her attention...or is it an alligator



But he got a bit deflated, so we took a walk along the beach...



Went to see Yumiko at the Beach Tikki Bar for a nice cold drink...



I have to say it was a good day... but then I woke up to find I had been asleep on the sofa in the UK on a wet and windy Sunday

Amy gets a very much improved scene on the plane, that is an achievement now as well --> will be available with 0.2.1.0

As someone who like to get every achievement, I'm not sure how I feel about having multiple girls having achievements tied to our actions on the plane...

So? I know I can use console code to unlock the scene I miss. But if I do that, then why would I play the game in the first place? Why not simply use console code to unlock EVERY scene and get it over with?
