Version 0.2.1 beta - development news (updated 16. May 2020)

Couldn't even activate the bet scene, not sure why :/

I had the same issue until I used the blue pill before. It's Faye, after all...

Top of the page is a detailed list of all new features and content. To answer your question, no.

Bantry

If you haven't done so already, Faye is the key to unlocking the sauna. You will need to win her bet when she is doing pull-ups in her skimpy bikini.

Bantry

I'm not sure if this has been covered elsewhere, but will Mercedes/Miriam's super strength quest/story be in this version? That's been something worth learning about and exploring!

VivaKnievel

I'm having the same issue too.

The sauna is not showing up for me. Does it unlock after a little while?

Walker

man still no more joy i am sad now

Hun73rdk

Thank you and you're welcome.

Darkhound

Since it's very difficult to add addional content on android, the companion will be included in the android release. For PC, linux and Mac it will be a seperate download.

Darkhound

Will the companion mod be included in the Android release? Or will it need to be added seperately. Update looks awesome Dark. Now stay away from my women Yvette lol.

YankeeinKy

Very well, you're doing a good job. A very good job. Thank you so much for Yumiko :P

Akom74

Thanks, finally :)

Darkhound

Oh, the release date! Very good.

TheorPhys

Thanks buddy :)

Darkhound

Yes, I think so too :)

Darkhound

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

Monsieur X

Lots of new stuff at the beginning of the game, both in visuals and content. Looks like a good reason to start the game over from the beginning if one hasn't done so in awhile.

Bantry

Thanks and no, there won't be any new girls at the moment.

Darkhound

Have you ever thought about introducing Lady Quantum and / or Mikaela? It would be interesting;) BTW ... great job.

No, the phone remark above has nothing to do with that. I have added code to display the phone automatically during a scene or event to show an image or a sext. You cannot "interact" with the phone in that case, it's all automatic.

Darkhound

Questions about using your phone during a scene: Does this mean we could check our achievements to see if we need to be caught peeping in the shower or not caught? Does being able to open your phone during a scene to display an image, mean that we would be able to take a blue pill when the Ivy breast bump scene starts?

Puppet Master

I believe that the money situation is fixed now. Joy gives you the same amount of money half as often. Also, playing less poker with Joy makes it feel more special. I think that the special sexts from Joy and Faye should be one and done as the other girls' sexts are. Joy's seem to to happen many days after you play poker, which is good. Since you only see them once, this makes them special. Faye's could be more spaced out. For instance, Faye's corridor bump happens, and within hours, she's gotten Jennifer to take her pics at the bar and sent them to you. Why not have her send one the next day and the other the day after? Aly could also benefit from a 24 hour time lapse before sending her teen pics, but Yvette's & Yumiko's seem timed just right, although Yvette's special sexts should maybe only be sent once.

Puppet Master

Getting Yvette to her sister needs a time limit. Maybe after a week of you not sending her away, she could send you a text asking what's taking so long and her anger would go up. This could be repeated each day until she gets her way. Her anger can be reduced somewhat when she leaves and comes back.

Puppet Master

I like the Wet T-shirt Contest Participant achievement. It adds an achievement to all the girls, especially the ones who need it most, like Brenda & Delizia, etc. Also, It provides a nice set of images from the contest for each girl. With the addition of all the winners doing a topless pose, another achievement could be added for winning the contest, with all of those poses as pictures. You could do the same for the Best Butt Contest, but maybe you'll need to wait until you get that contest working just the way you want it to.

Puppet Master

Thanks buddy :)

Darkhound

You cannot really "find them out", you always know them. But in any case I have squeezed them into the screen. The name is just "eyes", because "eye color" was too long to fit.

Darkhound

It's just bad luck. There is nothing wrong, so nothing needs to be fixed. If she's already at reception, you can't get her plane girl arrival scene. I've changed the quests in a way, that Amy cannot get the measurements quest any more. Only the eh sperm or training quests.

Darkhound

Playing 2.0 again from the beginning & loving it! I didn't realize what a great addition the compliment feature was when I started from the end of 1.9.

Puppet Master

This has been suggested before but it seems to be needed more now that there are more quests. Could we set a reminder to ourselves on the phone to visit a girl's room? For instance, you need to visit Amy's room at dinner time very often. If you could open your schedule for today or tomorrow, poke the time to open a menu for who you'd like to visit, pick a girl, make an appointment, so you get an alert. Probably too much for now, but something to think about.

Puppet Master

Now that we can find out a girl's eye color, it would be nice if this were added to the phone info. Of course, there's so much info on that screen already I don't know if you have enogh room to add a whole line. I think you'll need a whole line for colors like Natasha's Hazelnut Brown since otherwise they would go off the screen.

Puppet Master

Aly was my plane girl, but I didn't get her plane girl entrance. Maybe it's because the game picked her to be the receptionist. Is this a bug, or will it fix itself if I send Aly away and invite her back? Also, if you want to get hack 1 for Amy, and the doctor gives you the quest to get her measurements, it's going to be awhile before you get her waist. Maybe she should always be assigned the workout quest.

Puppet Master

Love that idea!! Amy just had them removed as well. I like where you are getting at. Darkhound is the boss though. Hope he's into it as well.

ledferrelin

Awhile back, someone asked if there would be more breast expansion in the game. This takes a lot of work, so it's probably not a priority. However, there might be something that could be done with Eva. We know she got the Joy procedure, and we know they have to be enlarged before they shrink back to size. She could send us some sexts of the time when her breasts were huge. You could even make it a quest like Aly's teen pics. Ha ha, another idea for 2.2! Or just save it for later, whatever works for you.

Puppet Master

Fixed it, will be part of 0.2.1 :)

Darkhound

Thanks :) Happy you like them.

Darkhound

Okay, done :) You will be able to trade 5 blue pills against one of the others. The option will be available when you have at least 5 blue pills in your inventory and gameday is at least 15.

Darkhound

This might just be the way I play the game. I mostly turn in high lust samples, so by day 70, I have like 50 blue pills. Is there a way where maybe 3-5 Blue pills could be traded for a cyan or pink or green pill? Ultimately, we are using one blue pill to get 3 EH samples to trade for 1 cyan or pink or green pill anyway. This would cost more but save time.

Puppet Master

No issue here to display all the special girl stat when mouse hovering.

Monsieur X

Could you have the stats for special girls pop up when you mouseover them as you do for the regular girls. Maybe this can't be done for Joy, Mercedes and Miriam, but can it be done for Jennifer and Yumiko?

Puppet Master

Sometimes Amy & Desire are supposed to be working Reception, but I catch them on the beach! I think this is a holdover from Topless Yoga, but the days when I catch them out there are not Mon or Thurs.

Puppet Master

More content for Yumiko and Mercedes? Cool!

Brianiac

How about adding an option for when you play poker with Joy to get Joy's personal favor? Lacey could use her sperm conjestion scene, and I would like a footjob from her (maybe on the sunbed). Also, it might be a nice quest to help Natasha become a doctor. If you ask her what is wrong in other conversations, she could tell you that she wants to be a doctor and Joy is helping, but she doesn't get any practical experience because of all the other girls on the island. She could ask you to help her learn by getting sperm conjestion. Then come to her room where she will take care of you. Once she does this, she can ask to be sent away, and when she comes back, she is a doctor and can be assigned as one. Maybe the same images for her sperm conjestion scene can be used with the doctor's office background. Forgot to say that most of these ideas would obviously be for 2.2 or later!

Puppet Master

When talking to Mercedes at the night bar, can we get an option to give her a gift? When you spy on her in the shower, her anger goes up, and there's no way to get it back down without cheating. It'd be nice to give Miriam gifts when talking to her on the beach, but it's not as essential.

Puppet Master

Before trying something like that again, I will have to create mii preview images for all scenes, achievements, events for all girls. Without that, it's just too slow.

Darkhound

You were looking for UI improvements not long ago. You tried one to open the phone to the achievements page & had to take it out. I don't know if this is ok, but what about a button added to the right side UI. Click on the girl & the usual options pop up. Add one that opens your phone to her achievements page in your phone. So, click on Aly to make Actions Aly appear, but add a clapboard button to open your phone right to her scenes. Of course, this may be impossible or more trouble than it's worth.

Puppet Master

I think it will be a while. It was only a couple of weeks ago that we got the last one.

Puppet Master

I was foolishly hoping this update to hit us for the week end :) Oh well hehe. 2 rewards scenes for Heather, the girl is overworking :)

Monsieur X

Why not, so we can have something like an inverse strip session as a poker reward. I will think about it. It will have to be slightly different, because it should not allow to switch back and forth.

Darkhound

Since you now have a posing system, maybe you could have Heather or Yumiko offer to pose nude for you to get their clothes back. For some of the girls who have super sexy outfits (like Heather), maybe she could offer you a pose session in her sexy outfit if you lose (for some favor , of course).

Puppet Master

You're welcome. Changing it will eat some of my time, but I think it's worth it in the end. There will be some new and/or improved cheat functions as well. The most important will be that you can use the mod at any time, even when a choice menu is shown on the screen or when a scene or event already started.

Darkhound

Thanks :)

Darkhound

Thanks for taking over and adding the "companion mod" as a extra download. Hopefully will help all the people who want to cheat and get to events quicker, but as you are in control of it not cause as many people trying to cheat without knowledge of what they are doing corrupting their game files.

SiJa

Really looking forward to the sauna

Brianiac

Try visiting Amy at 21h00 in her room. ( not sure it will work).

Monsieur X

I am one of those people who got Amy’s arm wrestling before the massage and now I can’t get the massage! Is there a short term workaround? Thanks! Love the game!

Her rating is fine. One's own perception isn't always a fact. Why can't she think she's bad at it, but is in fact average? This happens hundreds of thousands of times everywhere and every day.

Darkhound

When playing poker with Mercedes, she says she is bad at it, but her rating is average. Should she have a poor rating? Maybe she is trying to trick the PC? I used the console to set her to 1 star.

Puppet Master

Yep :)

Darkhound

I don't see it that way. There is no problem and no inconsistency. Who said they always have to be completely nude?

Darkhound

Mercedes doesn't get naked while playing strip poker. While she looks great flexing in her fishnets, her not playing the game right creates a logical inconsistancy. Could you do the same thing that you did for Natasha's TF? That is, to have a nude pic, then have her put on her stockings if the PC chooses to have her flex. To get her to 200 favor, the player must play strip poker at least 8 times, so seeing her naked is quite an incentive.

Puppet Master

Nice with more content for the special characters. :)

Tobias

I'm trying as far as is possible.

Darkhound

Yup, thanks :)

Darkhound

Glad you like the selection :)

Darkhound

DH ... hope you are staying safe as is everyone!

UncleVud

Yvette in the sauna ... STEAMY!!!!

UncleVud

Yumiko updates ... yummy!!!! Eva updates ... even better!!!!!!!!

UncleVud

Thanks :)

Darkhound

Looking forward to android version.😊 Btw how many scenes have been updated of Rene?

Naztyking

Thank you very much for teh ncie comment!

Darkhound

Thanks :)

Darkhound

Not possible yet. Darkhound must create the context in which Yvette sends the pic.

Monsieur X

there appears to be a new context related sexting message for Yvette since the last update. Any idea how to get that?

headbanger

You can learn the age of several girls by playing hotshots or talking to them.

Monsieur X

By far, Holiday Island is the best dating sim I have ever played. After finding myself spending most of the day today playing this game I felt I had to lend my support to Darkhound for the work that has gone into it.

TAFitelson

Great game.

N L P adult story's 18+

Sauna idea is great. Do you plan do start revealing ages of the girls or it doesn't matter? Right now only Joy's and Jennifer's ages are revealed.

Looking forward to the new sauna. It's great when a new location opens up on the island. The volleyball location probably won't be coming any time soon: too much action involved. I wonder if any of the ladies on the island would enjoy a relaxing game of mini golf?
