Hello everyone!
Today I have a preview from a romantic appointment at the beach during sunset for you.
The image is part of the new quest line handed out by Joy to fulfill the girls wishes and desires.
This is Yvette's first oen of these new quests. It leads to a romatic walk on the beach with her when the sun sets.
This one was one of the most complicated renders to set up. Creating the sun reflections in a way that looks nice and realistic was a major pain in the a.....

Hello guys and gals,
to shorten the waiting time until the next update is ready, here is a naughty Jessica preview image for you.
Is she really doing what I think she is doing?
I guess we really have to check out the scene in game to find out ;)
Enjoy the preview,

Hello my friends!
Here is a preview from Mercedes poker scene.
It's the first poker scene that will be in teh new player room.
Her poker scene has 14 images in total. Including some undressing images, which are all in 2560x1440.
The second image from above is in ultra high res (4K) and is used in the new posing interface. It's not directly from the poker game, but as a reward for winning, she will pose for you.
I hope you enjoy the preview.

Hello guys and gals,
the next game version will get a new location. Jennifer's photo studio on the island.
It will also get an additional posing interface that will allow for less poses but will have different clothes for the girl to try on.
There won't be a zoomed in/out view, but you will have the adjustable viewport where you can zoom in/out and reposition using the mouse. You can cycle through the poses back and forth or ask the girl to try some different clothes.

Hello everyone,
to further reduce the grind, a new option for "talk about other topics" has been added.
You will be able to compliment each girl once a day.
Depending on your charm, more or less options will be available.
All of the options have girl stat depending responses and some of them even have specific responses for several girls.
Just like in the real world, some girl like a certain type of compliment and some don't.
Some might still say thank you, even th...

Happy new year everyone!
I hope you all made it without any accidents and not too much of a headache :)
I'm still mostly rendering and not writing or coding much the last days. That's the reason why it has been so quiete in the development news post.
Joy will get a lot of new renders in different clothes. All in her office.
You will be able to talk to her and she will give you mini quests for one girl or another, in exchange for company favor.
So this will be a new ...

Hello everyone!
This is the last image for this year. A preview from Amy's arrival scene.
In case you are wondering, the girl in the image is not Amy, but someone she met at the airport and who was on the same flight. A friend of mine created her and was so kind to let me use her for the game.
Enjoy the last hours of 2019!

Hello everyone!
Faye gets a short scene where she helps the MC change the weight discs.
Since we're a bit preoccupied with watching Faye, Natasha who would like to train gets a bit angry. But no need to worry, she's not angry for long.

Hello guys and gals!
During testing and fine tuning of the achievements (multi image format and better hints), I noticed that Amy's room service event is not really up to current standards any more.
That's why I decided to redo it. Her new room service event will have almost 20 images and two or three achievements.
The above image is a preview from her new event.
I hope you like it.

Hello everyone!
After a discussion with Wilson, the creator of the companion mod for Holiday Island, it is now clear that the mod will not be continued the same way as before.
For those of you having used it, you probably have alreadly noticed that the mod has not been updated for some time now.
The reason is that it was never meant to be an ongoing project that has to be updated with every new version of Holiday Island.
In the end, what does it mean for the future o...

Hello guys and gals!
After all the preview images with Amy, I thought this would be a good opportunity to show you a nice one of Jennifer.
In case you wondered who designed Amy's new dress, here is the answer: It was Jennifer :)
The image is from her new poker scene. The scene will not be repeatable. After you have played it, you'll know why. I don't want to spoil the surprise.
The image has been rendered in 3200x1800 and took about 45 minutes to finish. In game size is 2...

Hello everyone,
this post is to inform you about the "lesbian content" poll result and to talk about the status of the update to 0.1.9.
Poll results "lesbian content":
Only 4% voted that they would like to be able to avoid lesbian content entirely.
The vast majority either want to have more lesbian content (56%) or are not disturbed by such content (40%).
What does this mean for game defvelopment?
It means that I won't go out of my way to implement something that ma...

Hello my friends,
to finish Amy's level 4 max affection quest, you'll have to get her a new evening dress.
Since it would have been a bit boring to just have the dress, I have also added an extended night bar drink scene with Amy wearing it.
As you can see, her new dress is fully functional :)

Hello my friends,
some days ago I came upon a discussion about lesbian content and that some find it unpleasant to watch or even disturbing.
I for myself don't feel like that, but I still thought it would be worth a poll to get your opinion about how it should be handled in HI.
Thank you for your participation.

Hello guys and gals,
some of you might have read about the improved image quality in webp format for the character renders. As I write this - Amy, Yvette and Heather do have the improved images.
I have also changed the way the character images are displayed (they still vanish when you press "h" - this could be fixed too, but requires a lot more effort). Before the change, clickable "imagebuttons" where used to display the girls. Unfortunately alpha blending and scaling doesn...
