Comments

Haha, I fixed it ;)

Darkhound

Don't worry buddy, you will be able to "grobe" Yumiko too :) Or more like grope the others :D

Darkhound

It's my pleasure Sam. Her short event got a little out of hand - lol - what was planned as a 5 renders max event got about 20.

Darkhound

You make me blush. Thank you so much 😊

Darkhound

Thanks for the nice comment and you're welcome.

Darkhound

Thanks buddy. Maybe it's even gonna be 1 day early :)

Darkhound

Nothing brightens my day more than seeing additional Jessi-Content in your update list. Even after all the work her contenders got, she remains the undefeated queen of my island :)

Jesus Christ Darkhound, I usually use what things are listed as "still working on" to determine a possible release date on patches when a date hasn't been revealed yet and when I saw that you decided to include a few more extra things I though "ok that will probably add a few more weeks onto the release date". Nope, the release date has been revealed and its only in a few days. You do awesome work Darkhound and I'm glad i'm able to support you as not only do you give all us supporters a great game but you're also great at communicating to all your supporters your aims and ideas.

Nujol21

So... much... content... You have really outdone yourself this time! Thanks!

RedWolf

Woohoo! Looking forward to it!

TXgamer

There is a Natasha Night Event planned but not completed (it's mentioned in the New Ideas Post for $5 Patrons). I think that will provide the next lead. Maybe in 1.4.

Puppet Master

0.1.3 seems very juicy, cannot wait for new girl encounter and Aly new quest. Still has no clue about how to complete Natasha breastmilk quest. After cutscene late at night in gym there are no leads about what to do next. Some help plz?

Argrond

Thanks, fixed it.

Darkhound

When you decline to get Eva her Diet Coke, she says: "I get it myself." It should be: "I'll".

Puppet Master

Changed it.

Darkhound

When Ivy says goodbye after the sunbed:"Will catch up with you later, okay?" It should be "I'll catch up with you later, okay?"

Puppet Master

Yes I know it is a minor mistake of fat fingers typing too fast, it just made me laugh wondering exactly what "Grobing" was.

Bantry

•Lacey gets the "grobe" and "flash" renders --> will be added with 0.1.3.0 •Deliza gets the "grobe", "flash" and "are you coming" renders --> will be added with 0.1.3.0 •Yumiko gets the basic actions (hug, kiss, grope, gift) --> will be added with 0.1.3.0 Not fair, I want to "Grobe" Yumiko too!

Bantry

Thanks for the post. I couldn't find any of the two dialogue snippets any more. So maybe I corrected them already. There are different endings for the sunbathing scenes. Not all of them have all the images.

Darkhound

You may have corrected these already, but in the elevator scene the MC says "fell" instead of "feel", and Eva says: "I think I cannot go on" which should be "I don't think I can go on". Also, I'm not sure that this is an error, but when Eva walks away after she catches you staring while she sunbathes topless, you only see the walking toward you image, not the walking away image I saw in her events folder.

Puppet Master

Ahh.. Had to think for a moment before I got it 😁 I guess I need some sleep now...

Darkhound

Cant wait for that last line to be updated! ;)

TXgamer

Thanks, fixed it :)

Darkhound

Found an old spelling error. In Amy's masturbation scene in her room, when the MC chooses to say something right away, Amy gets mad and he responds that the "dooer" was open. It should be "door".

Puppet Master

I will include the Eva reward appointment in 0.1.3.

Darkhound

Too much right now, since every girl is wearing a special poker outfit. But I will keep the idea for future updates.

Darkhound

I'm not sure how much work this would be, but could you have the girl's do their walk poses for when they leave your room after strip poker?

Puppet Master

I don't think that the players understand the girl's attractiveness stat. The choices made at the start of the game tell how attractive YOU find the girl. Thus, when you kiss her, your lust rises an amount tied to how attractive you find her. (For me, Ivy always adds 9 to my lust when I kiss her.) By changing a girl's atttractiveness, I don't think that her looks will change, but how sexy she is to you will change, so that when you kiss her, your lust will change accordingly.

Puppet Master

As this is now 0.1.3, I wanted to ask if the Eva-award event and/or the Natasha nightvisit event will be included?

Maybe one day, but not in one of the next versions.

Darkhound

Hi, I'm already trying to make the updates smaller and more frequent. But it doesn't really work out. There are several reasons. I start too many things that are unfinished at any given time (well - this could be changed, but would be less fun for me. Diferrent things to work on increase motivation and sometimes you just get stuck and need a fresh idea - working on something else helps). Another reason is that I don't have a fix amount of time I can spend on the game per week. Sometimes it's 20 or 30 hours, sometimes next to nothing. Having the text in a fixed location makes things a lot easier. I don't know if it is possible to make it adjustable during gameplay.

Darkhound

Any idea when 1.2.1 is out. And also I was wondering more about the having content addons happen more frequently. Is that something you are already practicing or something you plan on doing. Great job with the game I’m really enjoying and I love all the quality of life interface changes. Is there a reason why we can’t have the option to move the dialogue to the top/bottom of the screen?

No drink at the beach bar at them moment, but Yumiko will be on night bar duty two days of the week.

Darkhound

Will we be getting a Drink at the Beach option so we can chat with Yumiko?

Puppet Master

Be patient, all in good time. She just got the drink in the bar option. She's up to 8 interactions, maybe if she gets sexting that will bump up to 12.

Puppet Master

When is Renee going to get more content?

Yes :) Just not all funny options to start with. Only some girls have them right now. But all girls can participate. The renders are already done. Only needs some more coding and conversations. It will be a lot more interesting than the butt contest. I can promise that much :)

Darkhound

I like the cheat you have for poker which tells who will win the hand. For a future update, you might work it into the game. You could add a cheat button which appears when you are the dealer. Then if you pass a hacking test, you deal yourself a winning hand. The program would just skip any results that are girl wins or draw. This seems straightforward to me, but I don't know how to program and may be more difficult than I imagine.

Puppet Master

Will the wet T-Shirt contest be aviable for all the island girls?

Thanks :)

Darkhound

Trophies don't have anything to do with images. Check this post and you will understand how it works: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/21888872">https://www.patreon.com/posts/21888872</a>

Darkhound

So we have achievements and trophies now huh? I'm guessing trophies will basically be special images like texts that we unlock by doing x, but then aren't they just context sensitive texts? What's the difference?

I am so excited to see this update!

Puppet Master

It's just like in real life. If you eat enough at one meal you only need to eat once a day. I don't see why I should prevent this.

Darkhound

There should be a cool down period for the MC to eat a meal again. Otherwise, he can eat every meal at breakfast.

Puppet Master

I will put it on my "to be checked" list. If it's not possible to get it right now without cheating, I will change the event. Also if the probability is too low.

Darkhound

not sure where to post this. There is only one event left that I haven't unlocked. The one where Yvette masturbates and I get caught after she climaxes. She always falls asleep because of low endurance. Is there a way for me to increase her endurance?

headbanger

Once I have finished the wet T shirt contest, I might come back to the butt contest and create some more renders for it as well. Grabbing (butt) animations are a lot of work to make them look even remotely real. Using only two frames doesn't work as an animation. Well - once I'm at it, I'm sure I will think of something to make it work.

Darkhound

The reception is not occupied during the night. That's why Yvette leaves at midnight. There are no 16 hours shifts. Having another girl at reception would remove her from being able to do other stuff. Two reception girls is enough imo. I don't see any benefit in adding a third one, only disadvantages.

Darkhound

It seems like there should be 3 shifts for reception to cover all 24 hours: an early shift from 8am to 4pm, an evening shift from 4pm to midnight, and a Late night shift from midnight to 8 am. Otherwise, one girl is working a 16 hour shift. This way, we'd have three girls to interact with at reception (plus Yvette's end of shift at midnight might make more sense).

Puppet Master

I always pick Yvette or Alice as the Best Butt winner because I get a special event from them. If the winning girl would offer you a chance to squeeze her butt (if she passes a lust check), I would definitely go through every girl as a winner. This would be about 3 renders per girl. 1) PC on stage with the girl facing him and her butt toward the audience with his hands on her ass. (You wouldn't see anything but his feet and hands with Ivy) 2) A close up of her ass &amp; his hands on it. 3) Two frame animation of him squeezing her butt.

Puppet Master

I haven't planned anything right now. But I have started a scene with Jessica which is a little BDSM. I could probably add the blue pill somewhere.

Darkhound

It will be some time before she gets some new stuff.

Darkhound

It's already in place. The way it works is, every time you lose a hand of cards, you take off a piece of clothing. Amazingly hi-res graphics eh? ;)

Bill Sherman

I swear I've asked before, but it was a while back... is there any chance there'll be a variant of strip poker to play against the girls where the player can actually lose clothing? Or will it always be the format we have now?

Kris

Thanks :)

Darkhound

Daz studio with IRay render engine.

Darkhound

Hope you can add more sexual content of ivy, in this last update she looks so sexy

Pedro MG

Will there be any new scene including the blue pill with the girls beside Faye? Would love to see Jessica get used to it ;)

Dispeace

Just awesome! Keep up! :)

Offshore - Adult Games Developer

Nothing is random - it's all triggered. Just sometimes there is still only a xx% change for it to happen of all triggers are met. I won't change that.

Darkhound

Hey Darkhound, your renders and videos are really great. Which programs do you use to create them?

Please, less random and more triggers.

JerseyBoy3100

Yeah, this is also on my list - to enable the reschudling directly when you get a message and you have the time slot already blocked.

Darkhound

We will see. Cannot promise anything right now. Still working on the bug fixes for 0.1.2

Darkhound

Still Eva. Too many unfinshed. Doesn't make sense to have a new focus girl for 0.1.3

Darkhound

Eva, when she is at the beach, asks you to buy her a Diet Coke. When you go to the beach bar to get it, you will encounter Yumiko.

Bantry

I haven't seen the new Asian girl yet. What triggers her?

JerseyBoy3100

Alice and Faye both asked for a 14:00 pool meet. I was hoping for a cat fight, but alas only Alice showed up. LOL!

JerseyBoy3100

Who is the focus girl for 1.3?

Great job with 1.2 by the way. for 1.3 how about a little more with Ally and Jessica.

BRZ driver

It's too much of a change to always enable the phone. It would cause problems on far too many levels. What I can do is to allow taking pills (or just one pill) at certain/specific times during a scene. Maybe like have a comment: "Looking at how fit she is, now could be a good time to take on of those endurance pills". Then maybe even as a joke (if you don't have one) "...if only you had one with you right now". Or the choice to take one if you have it. Doing it like that would make some scenes easier and would give a hint on what you need to do.

Darkhound

I have one QoL request: Would it be possible to use your inventory during scenes? Especially during random scenes it is quite a bummer that you can't take any of your nice pills anymore - i.e. the Ivy event would be way less complicated if you could just go and take the blue pill as soon as the event starts. I thought of this during the Eva elevator scene, as I really wanted to try the extra endurance pills. But as it is random it's pretty harsh to just use them all the time and hope for a trigger.

She already had them. Accidentially removed them in 0.1.2

Darkhound

Will Faye also get the breast fondle pictures? Was quite surprised she's the only one without them
