Lacey (your favorite), like Delizia (my favorite), are Tier 3 girls. By definition of the tiers, they will not get a lot of new content as new versions are released. Be thankful that the majority of Lacey's scenes/events/appointments are repeatable.

Is there a hotkey that reloads some script or something? Maybe D? I inadvertently hit a key on the left side of the keyboard, and I saw a message about a script reloading or recompiling, the screen refreshed, and then I started getting errors. I was able to "ignore", but then the game is permanently in "skipping" mode, and hitting TAB or CTL doesn't fix this. Unfortunately, I hadn't saved for about a week of game time. I guess I just have to go back and repeat the week? How can I avoid this inadvertent reload thing in the future? Is there a way to remove the offending hotkey? It's happened at least once before.

Edit: I figured out how to post the error log, I think. In the spoiler that follows:

New version (0.2.1) is almost done, I won't investigate this one now. If it happens again with 0.2.1 post a new trace and I will have a look.

Straightforward.
  • The addition of Natasha meant 3 huge chested girls had to share the support that only 2 did before
  • Faye and Natasha both came with sex events and added more
So over time Faye pulled away and Natasha compensated just enough for being darkskinned to split a chunk of Aly's support. There is more to it, but thats the essential part.
Ah ok.. Well, I like them all. But Aly is the cutest of them all. That swimsuit thing just makes me want a real (dirty!) sex scene even more. ;)
Who doesn´t love big tittied, curvy blondes? lol

Eva gets an extended arrival scene (0.2.2 preview)

Hello everyone!

With version 0.2.1 almost finished and in pre beta testing phase, I took a deep breath...
...and continued working on the game :)
Here is a preview of an event you will see in the next update after 0.2.1.
Eva arrives on the island and is in a teasing mood.
The existing images have been redone in high res and there are three new ones as well.
Also the dialogue will be completely rewritten.
Stay safe and enjoy the preview,

Darkhound

Fair enough; thanks for your reply. I'm still loving the game, and I'm looking forward to the new version.

And yes, I save every hour or so; it had been an hour or so since my last save, heh.

The auto saves are enabled.
In the save window, click on the page "A". It holds the auto saves.

Wow! And I thought I'd never send Eva away from the island. But, I'll do so gladly for that scene :love:
Thanks Darkhound for all that work that you put into the game! I'm so looking forward to this weekend!
