Ren'Py Holiday Island [v0.5.0.1] [darkhound1]

[Bantry]

Display achievement images in full size (0.3.1 preview)

Hello everyone,

I have added a full size preview function to the achievements.

What can it do and how does it work?

• a new icon has been added to enable/disable full size preview mode
• you can zoom in and position the image same as in the preview mode showing the landscape phone
• pressing the "h" key will hide the UI buttons, allowing for a screenshots without the buttons disturbing it

I hope you like the new feature.

This game bricked my phone so hard it didn't do anything for 10 minutes straight

This is a big game now with lots of images and animations.
The latest Andriod version is having to use compression on images etc to help it run.
Probably not going to play that well on a phone, maybe a top spec new one would cope well with it

Android version is more for a tablet, but again top spec would be best.

Very thought-provoking questions! I'm also a details/backstory/minutiae guy, so here are my thoughts regarding your questions:

• The MC was told on more than one occasion that the lab facility was very large - larger than it appeared, so I suspect that there is more than one hospital room. I also suspect that the room the MC ended up in was at least somewhat pre-configured specifically for him.
• Regarding Yvette, I'm (reasonably) confident that she would've shown up, no matter what. I have no idea how that (having her jet in from the mainland to jump the MC) would affect the dialog, though. I know that there were island girls who had been sent back to the mainland (in my HI universe) who were at the party Sara attended. Somebody ought to revert to a pre-accident/lab save, send Yvette home, and find out what happens on Day 2 in the lab...
• I'm sure Mercedes can use the Lab gym (and probably does occasionally), but she seems to have a preference for the main resort gym.
• I would think that "coital opportunities" with Daniela and Sara would eventually be more or less comparable to the other "staff girls" on the island.
• That could be problematic... You should watch the movie Her (2013)...
• Obviously the "doctor-babes" know about the lab, because one of them contacted the lab about the MC's accident and condition. Also, Sara went to a party in the night bar with several of the island girls, so I'm pretty sure they are not a secret to any of the other girls.
• Regarding the pills... umm... sorry, I got nuthin'...

So, being a details/backstory/minutiae guy myself, I have some observations and questions about the island, etc.:

• Are Daniela and Sara really the only ones working in the lab, or are there others that we/MC don't know about? If they are the only ones, and Joy has sent Daniela away on a 3-week booty-call sabbatical, does that mean that Sara is working alone in the lab all day? I would think an outgoing 18 y.o. like Sara would get very lonely and crave some social interaction. Might we see her "sneak" to the resort sometime in the not too distant future?
• Does Joy/HI, Inc. own the entire island, or just the resort and subterranean lab complex? I don't recall whether this has been explicitly stated. (but then, I do have a Dory-like memory, so...)
• Does anybody work at the airport? A small, private GA airport might very well not have anyone operating a control tower, but how would the aircraft that arrive at the island airport (HI corporate aircraft?) refuel for the return trip? Might there be "airport girls" that we could meet (etc., etc.) in the future?
• Is there anything else on the island besides the airport, the resort, and the underground lab? If so, what?

That's all I've got, at the moment. These are also mostly rhetorical, but I would certainly be interested in others' insights about these questions/observations.

Well said. If this was Marvel Comics, I'd give you a no-prize.

Of course all the tech people and the flight crew would be girls too. I can see a tech girl wearing daisy dukes and a leather tool belt wandering the halls. <fantasy>off</fantasy>

Oh yeah, I can totally see that.

Wait ... I don't have to imagine it, I can google it:

The resort and lab both certainly use a lot of electricity, so there has to be a significant power plant somewhere on the island; and, assuming that HI, Inc. owns the entire island, there would be HI-employees operating the power plant ("power babes").

Hey all,
First off, thanks so much for time and effort put into this game its awesome!
I've been playing for about a week or so and it seems to have stopped working, I've tried re-extracting and troubleshooting with no luck. I click on the icon and nothing happens.
I've checked the event viewer in windows and this is what its throwing up:

I've also tried stopping the usual windows security features with no luck and running as admin.

Any ideas? Im gutted its stopped working.
Cheers.

That is about as generic as it gets. Most likely has nothing to do with HI. Did you recently apply updates to Windows? Make hardware changes?

That is the app crash error when the" it worked and now it's not" occurs
When it happens the log and traceback are of no use.

Just curious. You mean this is a programmed abend by Python when the persistent storage gets corrupted? If so, that is horrible. They could at least put something understandable in the log like 'we pulled the pin from the grenade as we didn't know what else to do'.

 

[Kiskocya]

Well, yeah, but actually, it's not that much.
I'm pretty sure they need a second power plant just for Jessica's vibrator.

God help us all if the thing run out of juice.

I only know that is the app crash error related to this occurrence.
I first experienced it during testing after screwing with a console commande, then it happened on its own. I was able to fix it just by doing a fresh install, a scan file on C:\ and several reboot in betweeen and SiJa found a real workaround with the persistant file.

 

[SiJa]

It was a user cookie jar who had the problem and I was trying to help them solve the issue.
It was solved by removing the Persistent file.
I did some investigating and found some ideas why, but this has not been seen before and not commented on by Renpy themselves or any other game as far as I can see, although most games have not updated yet.

The Persistent file stores all the key data for the game outside of a save file, so things like volume settings, screen resolution, text size etc... which load regardless of the save game.
It's possible the new version of Renpy adds some new data or commands to the file which for some reason if you replace it with an old version copy makes the game crash on loading, not seeing these new commands or data which is needed with the new version of Renpy.
Hence, if you let it create a new one, not copy an old version, it works fine.
The downside is you will need to redo the plane arrival scenes for the other girls if you are a completist person.
But it's a small thing compared to not having the game running.

 

[JSF2]

I updated my Radeon driver and now Holiday Island doesn't launch any more, unlike other renpy games.
I suspect the video animation on the start screen may be the culprit. Any idea whether I can edit that away in some configuration file?

I also tried telling a config file to try windowed mode, but found no setting for it.

Is the game loading, but then crashing when you try to load a savegame or start a new one?
Or, is it just not loading at all?

 

[JSF2]

The mouse pointer turns into an hourglass for two seconds when I try to launch the game and that's it.

The problem began right after I updated my Radeon RX580 driver to 21.5.2 (newest version). Maybe I need to downgrade the driver again. I had it updated becuase of recurring driver timeouts on desktop and in windowed applications.

This sounds like it could be the Persistent file problem I was just talking about.
Have a look at this post and see if it helps...

Think it could be just a coincidence this happened as you updated your graphics drivers... but is best to always update them to the latest version of the driver to help stop crashes and bugs etc...

 

[JSF2]

Yes, it's fixed, thanks.
That's super weird, for renpy shouldn't load savegame data so early in the launch AND all other renpy games were unaffected.

But if the cause really was an outside update I think I can see why removing the persistent file helps. That basically is a cold reset of the Renpy system. Kind of a software reboot.
