""Hotshots" night bar part game will be added for Amy, Renée and Brenda --> will be part of 0.1.5 beta" These are the three ladies I don't currently have on the island. >sob!

Brianiac

Haha, okay :)

Darkhound

You're welcome :)

Darkhound

Love the list. Love the game. Ivy can bench press me anytime. Oh and Natasha! And Amy! And.....

hisstoryman

Thank you, thank you. That's one hell of a birthday present!

Bantry

Hotshots will be part of 0.1.5, see the change log: "Hotshots" night bar part game will be added for Amy, Renée and Brenda --> will be part of 0.1.5 beta

Darkhound

The update I am looking forward to the most: - Faye gets a scene in a new location: the gym shower Will the Hot Shots game be introduced in version 0.1.5?

Brianiac

It should be super easy to fix, since it's all variable. I probably only used jennifers's fixed is instead of "jobs.bartender". Edit: Fixed it, will be part of the next update.

Darkhound

When Faye and Heather pole dance, they give instructions to Jennifer, even if Yumiko is the bartender. It's a minor thing, but is there a way to make them say Yumiko on Sun. & Wed.? This is the very definition of too much work for too little benefit, so I understand if it's not worth it.

Puppet Master

Some parts of the code are not considered in the rollback. The only thing I could do is to block the rollback after taking a pill. So it would at least be consistent.

Darkhound

When I am asked if I want to spike a girl's drink and I accidentally say yes, then scroll back. The drink stops being spiked, but I don't get the green pill back.

Puppet Master

The problem is not pills or effects of the pills, but how to integrate them into the game. I'm against giving an additional opportunity/menu question or whatever to swallow one when the game suggests it. Just having additional pills with a certain effect is not that hard. But there also needs to be a way to get them. Just buying the more powerful things is not nice.

Darkhound

She's cute and she has an incredible behind :)

Darkhound

I'm glad Brenda will be getting more content. She was the one I ended up riding on the plane with the very first time I played this game.

Brianiac

There have never been two "extras" achievements - it's only one, and it's even single image only. I will see what I can do to make it multi image and maybe add a second achievement.

Darkhound

Ivy used to have 2 acheivements for Pull Ups with extras: Blow job and Tit Fuck. The Tit fuck is no longer there. Unless I'm imagining things again.

Puppet Master

I don't know how hard this would be to impliment, but could we add something to the pills (maybe not for this update, but the next one). There are many times when you want an erection or don't want an erection. Could we take 2 purple pills to prevent an erection from happening for the duration of the pill, and could taking 2 green pills or 2 blue pills give an erection for the duration of the pill? This would make events like Ivy's Breast Bump and Yumiko showing you her pictures a lot easier to acheive.

Puppet Master

I have changed the behavior: If you go to the recpetion or the doctor, you smart watch will display the recpetion or doctor. But you can change the displayed character if you want to. If you click on the receptionist or doctor to talk to them, the phone char will auto change again. But if you click an intimate action with a different char on the phone, it will NOT automatically change back to the recpetionist or doctor.

Darkhound

This may be a feature or a bug. Regardless, it'll probably be difficult to change. At the reception desk or the doctor's office, the watch doesn't immediately go to the stats of the girl working there. However, if you choose an intimate action or select the girl working in the area, the stats of the girl working there get locked, and you can no longer choose the stats of another girl. You have to leave the area, choose someone else and come back.

Puppet Master

Thanks, fixed it. The "auto hide" was only active for Jennifer and not for Yumiko.

Darkhound

I gave Yumiko a gift right before the Nightbar closed, and the image of her behind the bar did not disappear, making it seem like there were two of her.

Puppet Master

The wrong speakers have already been fixed. I will check the sperm congestion messages when I have some time.

Darkhound

Two errors to check out (but don't let them delay your release date). When you are not masturbating to complete the sperm congestion quest, right before you get a message saying you haven't had sex for 72 hours, you get a message saying that you haven't had sex for 24 hours. The second error comes from Thenalek on the community page (which you may have already fixed): During the Jennifer story after the waking up of Jennifer second treatment, the names has been inverted : Joy (instead of Jennifer) : "You know what, the aching is already getting better." Jennifer (instead of Joy) : "I'm happy to hear that. So I don't have to feel too guilty about the reduced sedation time." Joy (instead of Jennifer) : "Don't worry about it Joy, I'm really fine!"

Puppet Master

The all time awards are best of all times. Doesn't matter if the girl is on the island or not. You can check on the girl's stats page to see the number of "occurences". If two girls have the exact same number, they both get the reward. So it's possible that it is shared.

Darkhound

Not that this is a big deal, but I'm confused about the all time trophy awards. Currently I have Heather & Desire as All Time Tit Fuck Queens. Both girls are on the island, but I thought that there cn be only one. Also, Amy & Joy aren't on the island, but both have the all time footjob queen trophy. However, maybe I don't understand what the all time award means.

Puppet Master

I did get it eventually. You need to pick her to win the Butt contest & the T-shirt contest, while making sure she is the hug & Kiss Queen in the same 7 day period. When you sit with her at the pool, she will say: "You got me x trophies," to tell you how far along you are. My problem was, my phone said she had all 3 trophies, and she was saying she had 0 trophies.

Puppet Master

I can't figure that one out either. I've been stuck at that point on her quest for about 50 days in the game. *shrug*

Bender 13

The next week, I had her win on Wed., & she said I got her 0 trophies. Sat. she said I got her 1 trophy. Then after the next Wed., She said I got her 3 trophies. I have no idea why she didn't recognize the other trophies. Perhaps the 3 trophies I got her were from before she asked.

Puppet Master

Formerly, Aly wanted 3 trophies within the same 7 day period. Has that changed? I asked her on Sunday with my phone showing the 3 trophies, and she said she had 0 trophies.

Puppet Master

I don't think so - just checked the code again. Yumiko tells you her bra size and Jennifer tells her age. I can't find where Jennifer tells you her bra size. At least not in the night bar dialogue.

Darkhound

I am still not getting my phone to register Jennifer's stats after she tells you her age and bra size. I think that you said it works for you. Perhaps an error has crept in for when a new game is started that it no longer registers this information as we saw with the "Talk to her" missing dialogue. A noob wouldn't notice, and an experienced player would just use Wilson NE's mod to reveal her stats; thus, no one is reporting it.

Puppet Master

I hope you won't have to wait so long buddy :) I'll probably change the version to 0.1.5 directly, but I have planned to have it ready within the next 10 days. Without the damn influenza and flu, it would probably already be finished.

Darkhound

0.1.4.2 beta --> 11/03/2019 Why that date? It's my birthday and Joy and the girls have planned a huge party, so it just makes sense to release the next update then.

Bantry

Thanks, fixed it. You also need to add her picture to your dream images: lacey.add_dream_image("plane")

Darkhound

When Lacey is on the plane with you, you do not get a topless pic of her to masturbate to. The list of girls is completely blank. It can be solved by playing poker, but still, we should have a pic of Lacey on the plane to fantasize about. Edit: I found the error, the pic for Lacey is named Laycey_dreamplane. I changed it to Lacey_dreamplane, but it didn't fix the problem.

Puppet Master

It was always as it is right now. But you're right, I should upgrade it to multi image format and add the topless renders as an "extras" option. Looking at the renders, they deserve some upgrades to webp format and higher resolution. I only need to rerender them. With my new hardware, it's only about 2 hours render time for the 6 images in 2560x1440 resolution. I will also add one or two additional topless images or an animation and extend the topless part of the scene a bit. Since most of Yvette's content is quite old (relatively speaking), image quality is not that great. She deserves better.

Darkhound

I think that the achievement "Yvette poses for you on the beach with extras" has disappeared. However, maybe it never existed. Also, I thought that the "Yvette poses on the beach" achievement was multi-image before, but now it's not. Again, maybe I'm imagining things.

Puppet Master

I checked the code - can't see how that is possible. Both lines are directly after one another without anything else in between. char1 is Desire, char2 is Jessica. call change_char_lust(char1, -40) from _call_change_char_lust_118 call change_char_lust(char2, -40) from _call_change_char_lust_119 It was already like that in 0.1.4.0.

Darkhound

I won't add it right now - it's kind of an easter egg and not supposed to be found out easily. I need to think about a way to add it without spoiling too much.

Darkhound

I don't think Desire lust goes down when she has sex with Jessica. Jessica's goes down but not Desire's.

Puppet Master

Don't forget to add the "Ivy crushes the bell" Event to the achievements in the phone for the next update.

Puppet Master

In a similar vein, if you get a sext or have another appt. coming up, the alert box stops showing the first appt. and shows you the message or new appt. The appt. that is sooner should take precedence. This may be fixed now that the alert box can show you more info. For instance, if it lists "You have an appointment now" with a button, followed by "You have an appointment in 1 hour" with a button. Then you can see what's coming and choose to push the button to go there.

Puppet Master

If you are at the location where your appointment is supposed to be, the alert box disappears. You have to leave and then it reappears. For example, if I have an appointment with Faye at the pool, and I go there 30 min. early and have to put lotion on Yvette, when I'm done with Yvette, the alert notice has disappeared even though the time to be there is now.

Puppet Master

Fixed it - it will work from 8 to midnight now, as was intended.

Darkhound

Thanks! I hope it works well :)

Darkhound

When you get instructions for Jennifer to give you a tour of the new room, the receptionist says, "Come back between 8 and midnight when Jennifer is not working." I think it should be: "between 10 and midnight" since the bar opens at 10 and going to the receptionist earlier doesn't do anything. Maybe it should be between 10 and 2. I've never tried to go later.

Puppet Master

I am so excited to see the marked deck for the game!

Puppet Master

I've been watching the development of HI almost from the beginning. At the start there was a poll to find out which girls were the most popular with Patrons. That was where the most effort was placed. Some months then were mostly devoted to getting rid of the placeholder images. Then a month would come where a new idea or option was added which was rendered for the most popular girls, and the cycle started over. Polls were taken at intervals to make sure which girls were the most popular. Hope that this view from someone outside the process helps you make your game.

Puppet Master

So how are you prioritizing? Are you working on the core group of popular girls sprinkling small updates with the to the others Eventually, moving from the main group to all the rest? To me it seems fitting to get the main Core Group out of the way so any assets that were used for them can be used for similar situations with other characters with only a few tweaks. Kind of how Amy and Natasha both have a scene in the restroom. That way it's not so much of how you're going to do something but what you going to do with it. Is liking having a stencil for in-game content. I'm guessing this is how you make all the drink scenes at the bar. Generally the same thing but with changes made for specific characters. I'm mostly talking about this cuz I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to make my game work or how I'm going to set up my production schedules. The bigger difference is that mine will be drawn instead of rendered like this.... man I hope it goes well. Currently all it is a bunch of scripts mixed with placeholder images. How so you do the whole lone ranger thing? Making a game by yourself must be frustrating....it is for me at least. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. All I know right now is there is mark on my wall where I have continuously placed my head. Lol

madmaxxlr

Agreed.

madmaxxlr

I'm so happy Ivy is getting some love! I know she didn't do well in polls, but I think those of us that do like her, like her a lot!

Ziff

Haha, thanks buddy :)

Darkhound

Thanks for the additional info. I've found the bug and fixed it. it was a sequence of call problem during the game initialization. If you load a save game with 0.1.4.2 it will automaticall fix your game. With new games started in 0.1.4.2 the problem will no longer occur. To fix it manually, you have to do it for each girl individually: amy.create_topics_list() same has to be done for all girls in this list: [amy.id, alice.id, aly.id, desire.id, jessica.id, natasha.id, renee.id, faye.id, yvette.id]

Darkhound

When I played from a saved game, the individualized responses for the "talk about her" dialogue options were fine. When I started a new game, those responses were all generic.

Puppet Master

Hooray, more Delizia! And my birthday isn't even until next month. Can't wait to see what that brings.

Bantry

Thanks :)

Darkhound

BTW I love the new doctor poses for Desire!

Puppet Master

I'm just trying to fill in some blanks. Full scenes with a happy ending take a lot of time to write and render. I'm having too much half finshed stuff right now to add new ones.

Darkhound

No sex scenes. But some small stuff at least.

Darkhound

Maybe I even did the doctor stuff. Not sure atm (on my mobile right now). Reception are too many renders for now.

Darkhound

I made a patreon only post with several images and some explanations. It's a "guess who it is" mini game. Yumiko sends you a part of the image and you have to guess who it is.

Darkhound

Good for Brenda, she's catching up to the other girls. She just needs reception & doctor intimate actions.

Puppet Master

Yeah, more Aly content. Just hope her drink scene ends with something special for MC (doubtful but who knows what will happen lol).

TheorPhys

we can in next update repeatable scene sex with Ivy ? becouse is too match hardest wait and play this scene or to do so little easy?

New mini-game, Hooray! A slight preview or hint would be nice.

Bantry

Thanks. Anything in particular?

Darkhound

Looking forward to the update!

Brianiac

Also, that you made Yvette in the shower high res.

Puppet Master

Don't forget that you changed the message alerts to show who sent the message.

Puppet Master

Just finished without cheating my stats, 123 days.

Puppet Master

Already excited for the new update & I still haven't finished the old one yet!

Puppet Master

Ivy must be in her skimpy bikini & nowhere else. The event happens in the morning or afternoon. You might walk around all day with a blue pill active (hint, hint).

Puppet Master

Done :)

Darkhound

Thanks for this patch :) I love Ivy ! btw what are the requirements to have the bump event ? I mean just the starting ; i had it once on my first game but on the actual one : never whereas i try again and again to go from gym to other place when she just left.

Oleron

The girl looks over her shoulder with a come hither look.

Bantry

what is the follow me renders?

lp

It's already planned to be able to save/load and change your already created images. Horizontal pics won't work/fit. We could have just 1 big image, but it's a lot of work and I won't do it soon.

Darkhound

Could you make it so that the girls can flash in the restaurant?

Puppet Master

Is there a way to save your choices for pictures in the new room? I like to have 3 pics of Jennifer up, but if I want to change to Faye, I get rid of my Jennifer pics and use the selector to get new Faye pics. When I want to switch back to Jennifer, I have to re-select what I already did before. Is there some way for the image to remember where the selector was, so I can just choose the old pics without needing to work on them? Maybe there's a way to save up to 10 triptychs with appropriate names (Faye, Jennifer, or whatever). Then I would poke a button to choose my saved images and change how the room looks. Could we have horizontal pics instead (maybe for an extra 150 each)?

Puppet Master

It's not gonna happen and it's not necessary. Nine at the same time is more than enough. Any more and things will get super crowded everywhere.

Darkhound

Now that everything is better, techwise, will it be possible to have all 15 girls on the island? Maybe not in an active way (moving from place to place) but as a worker (rec, maid, doctor, etc.). We could still interact with them in their job, but we wouldn't see them on the beach or in the nightbar, etc.

Puppet Master

Some basic stuff at least :)

Darkhound

Glad you like it and thank you!

Darkhound

Hooray Delizia content!

EscapeEvade

That Desire workout scene is Amazing!!!

More content takes longer. That's just how it is.

Darkhound
