The creator said last year that they would release new content 0.5.0 on February 16th this year, but it is obvious that they have not completed it yet. However, they are still a good creator.
Posted on February 16, 2025:
Ren'Py - Holiday Island [v0.4.5.1] [darkhound1] | F95zone | Adult Games | Comics | Mods | Cheats

Estimated release dates:
0.5.0.0 --> no idea yet

‘NO IDEA’ is the default work in progress status. It does not change until shortly right before a release, usually 2-4 days before. Tracking of actual progress is therefore done watching the Development News'. When 'No Idea’ changes, the game is ready and enters beta testing. After beta testing is complete an actual release date will be provided.​

this game has gone from updates every 3 months to 6 to 9. Its now looking like this game is going to reach the point of having updates 12 months +. The game is just short of a decade old and its still not complete. Not to mention the updates are not getting more content per update as you would expect for the amount of extra time the dev is giving himself. Idk how this game has gone this long without any legitimate criticism. Whats even more insane is that there are the same "mods" from 10 years ago still living on here to this day.

This game with its rabid fanbase and lack of new content is reaching the likes of Summer Time Saga. But at least there are people actually criticizing the game there.

I cannot speak for the developer, nor am I trying to; however, it has been stated within this thread numerous times that Holiday Island started out as a means to showcase the developer's hobby of creating artwork. Note, the singular developer, not a team or group. No where to my knowledge has there ever been a schedule released as to when the developer will spend time on his hobby. People have lives and as such, allocation of how they spend their time is their decision. Remind us all again of how much you paid to download and play this game?

F95Zone posts a regular update of games with new content, if you do not have the patience to wait for the next update of Holiday Island.

There's not much to criticize, really. The game is free to play, has plenty of support, and is pretty well made. If there was a hard ending in the current release, it would be a good complete game overall. The fact that the dev is slowly adding to it every few months doesn't take anything away from what is already released.

I have a strange bug. I can't increase my stats.
Hard to offer any advice without knowing what stat you are trying to increase and what you are doing to try and increase said stat(s).

Have you downloaded and read the Companion Guide yet? It has an entire section on increasing stats, like what training schedule to follow, etc. You can find it linked on the first page of this thread.

Unless you are a patreon or paying for the game through other means, you have no right to complain about the game not meeting your expectations. Furthermore, if you are not a developer yourself, you have no way of objectively criticising a game since you have no idea what it takes to build and maintain it. Often times, games are easier to update early on with fewer characters and options to navigate the game. As games become more complex with more characters, assets, options, QoL improvements, etc. it takes progressively more time to balance and debug everything in every update.

If you are a patreon of Darkhound, then I suggest you contact him through patreon about your disatisfaction or simply move on to another game. Yes, it can be frustrating that a game you used to like isn't moving as fast or in the direction you would like it to, but developers often move in the direction of the people paying the most money through patreon or other incentives. At least Darkhound provides status updates whereas other developers stop development altogether but string you along as if they are updating the game to farm patreon subs (*cough* Komisari Hero's Harem Guild *cough*). Learn what you are willing or unwilling to pay for and reward what you like. If you just want to play as many free games as possible, you just have to be patient with the content updates and decide to move on when it's no longer worth investing your time.

I appreciate that the question was addressed to the dev, but I'm pretty sure you won't have any problems with your laptop. It's a fairly old computer, but this game doesn't actually render any graphics live, it's just a series of stored images and some pre-rendered videos, it should run on a potato.

Pretty much the same applies for any Ren'Py game.
