Faye posing at the pool (0.2.2 preview)

Hello everyone,

I just can't say "No" to her when she's looking at me like she does in the preview.
Not that this is a bad thing.

I've redone Faye's pool pose scene which got one of the worst animations of the game. Since I was at it, I re-rendered the whole scene as well. All images have been upgraded to double resolution webp format, there are some additional images and the dialogue has been improved as well.

In addition, The scene can be seen with Faye wearing her bikini or her sling swimsuit.
Image hue and brightness is adjusted based on the time of day in the whole scene now as well. I've attached some example images. The normal pool times are the second to fifth image.

Take care and enjoy the preview,
darkhound1

You have excellent recommendation from the Escort Agency, we know your sister, we have seen your naked body right here, it looks also excellent, now we only have to make sure that you will be able to handle the lottery winner. So, I think I dont have to explain you, what to do now.

Thanks

I know about this request, the problem im having is trying to activate her into the sauna so I can complete the scene. I have tried multiple times at different things and Im trying to find the right combination that will allow the scene to happen. Each time I have tried and very confused and angry, beciase she will be in the sauna or a signm etc.

 

[tmg9000]

Download the Guide from the OP and read page 115.

I know about thatm and have tried numerous times at different ways ad still nothing has happened, and getting very frustrating that the scene has not happen by Yvette being in the saunam like other and previos like the shower scenes, which was good. Ill keep trying to find the correct combination, but I believe it will not activate,

Okay, I misunderstood your question. What you're asking is, how to find Yvette in the sauna on a regular basis. I'm guessing (hoping) you have completed all the hacking for Yvette's sub-dermal. Now, anchor her as one of the girls in the upper left of your screen. If the hacking is complete you will be able to see her location. Go somewhere, like the beach, where you won't be interrupted and advance the time by 30 minutes and check Yvette's location. Repeat until it says 'Sauna' and then go there and you will find Yvette.

My Spidey senses were screamin' at me this morning. I just KNEW another HI update was ready to go and excitedly found the OP!

Nothing.

Oh wait - I just had to pee.

Sometimes she doesnt come to the sauna all afternoon. Her stats are high... maybe she better feels to cool down at the pool

how to fix this?

Yes BNTRY, tHANKS THIS cl;arifies precisely what i need to do to get her into the sauna, to make things clear, Yes i hack and change her sub-dermal and place her in the corner, so i precisely know when she is in the spa region for the sauna, ans i have done this repeatly biut missed your clarified steps. I now lnow to repeat this and wait until it says sauna and not when she is in the spa region for the saunam becuase i have tried to get her to see if she is in the sauna but nothing happens, You have clearly answered my querym so thank you bantry for clearling this up

How about adding something you can do with women at the spa, such as exercising in the gym or walking on the beach?

I don't understand your question because you can walk on the beach with the girls and you can work out at the gym with the girls.

 

[IgnusDeo]

I don't understand your question because you can walk on the beach with the girls and you can work out at the gym with the girls.

I'm fairly certain they just meant specific spa interactions, just like how the beach has walks and the gym has workouts.

The problem with location activities is that they are horrible expensive investments due to having 3 (or more) outfits.
The normal location activity has 3 renders and each is repeated pr. outfit.

15 Normal girls x 3 outfits x 3 renders = 135 renders needed for the most basic location activity.
The "clones" are on average cheaper to (re)make, so lets say 90-100 full renders effective cost in time and effort.

Which is around 3-4 weeks of work.

And of course there is the nice touch that it has a future cost too.
Add a new girl? Create all location renders for her and then repeat all for each outfit she has.
Add a new outfit? Repeat all location renders for that outfit.

It is a primary or the key factor why the last normal girl added was Natasha in 2018 and why outfits for the day hours have been largely static over the years. The cost is simply insane.

It is no secret that it is the only part of HI's design which would be changed or outright scrapped if time travel was a thing.

But since we are short on time travel and have a huge to-do list already, it'd have to be a very good suggestion for what to do at the Spa.

There is one flaw in this logic. It assumes that whatever happens at the Spa would have to happen for all girls. Maybe in the distant future if Dark's appetite lasts that long. For now just one or two girls would do. It's like that in the gym too. Not all girls have the weight lifting or the pull-ups or the yoga.

For now just one or two girls would do. It's like that in the gym too. Not all girls have the weight lifting or the pull-ups or the yoga.

Actually there is no flaw, that is what the template costs and location events are generic content.
Limiting it to some girls initially does not change things, that's just the exact same cost postphoned to the future.

That existing content has seen and is seeing staggered implementation or even indefinite staggering does not change it either. That's just Darkhound's normal way of working on multiple and mixed projects over huge periods of time.

The cost and task remains.

Worth noting is that,

• The shift to specials since summer 2018
• The shift to custom events and quests since autumn 2019

Are the de-facto conclusions on the topic.
All of which are explicitly defined by not having the inherent issues.

The foundations are laid and generic is now periodic filler work.

But good suggestions are sometimes taken up and thus that's were that one is.
Being an expensive type It'd have to be a very good suggestion for what to do at the Spa.

(and likely not involve outfit repetition, not have a future cost, no increasing load if more girls are added and if limited to some explain why and who)

Basically it's like DuckSwim described.
With the way I'm doing things now, it's even a bit more complex when you look at the details.

Not everything has to be done for all girls, that's true. But it will be done for at least most of the girls over time, so the cost is the same (or even higher, because of additional setup times).
Not everything has always to be done for three outfits. If e.g. spa can also mean sauna (which is part of the spa), there is only one outfit, meaning naked.
On the opposite side of things, a render count of three is no longer realistic for any new scene. It was in the past for really simple stuff. But now, I can't remember when I last did any scene that had less than 8 or 10 renders. If you take that into account too, it means a lot more renders.
Also the newer scenes are no longer generic, so every girl has her own renders and story line, which increases the render and scene costs by a very big margin.

A very simple thing at the spa could be stitting with the girl on the waiting sofa and just talk. But this would mean all the problems with three outfits per girl and in addition I don't think it would make anyone very happy to have that.
It would be just another (more or less boring) chat/talk scene.

What are you doing here? I'm waiting for my massage. Oh yes, me too. I hope I get Renée, she's really good at it.
Bla bla...
I'm pretty sure no one is looking forward to a more or less empty scene just for the sake of having something to do at the spa.

So as DuckSwim said, until someone can come up with a really good idea that would be worth the render effort, my time working on the game is better spend doing other things.

EDIT:
On another note, opposed to the opinion in the last review, the game is most definitely not a vehicle to showcase renders.
It is quite the other way round. The renders are necessary to drive the game and to have a game at all.
If I just wanted to render, I'd go back to DA and publish renders. I'm rendering a lot of images necessary for the game, that are not really fun to do or make me happy. But they are necessary for the game, so they are done too. As long as the balance is okay, I don't have a problem with that.
From my origin I'm still a tech guy who loves to code, learn and find out new things. I'm not an artist by heart.

Just a question, would Duckswim's reasoning be why the volleyball scene will never happen? That would be really nightmarish renderingwise. With at least 3, assuming the MC himself is playing, or 4 girls when he is just watching, with all girls wearing swimwear. That would require 27 or 81 permutations per render. And it would be even worse if a girl with special swimwear would be involved. And swap just one girl and start over again. There would be no end of it.
