Hi guys and gals, this post offers you a collection of news about the next full version of Holiday Island (0.1.6 beta) and the smaller updates towards it. 

There will be smaller, more frequent content updates, called content addons. They will include bug fixes and new content as well.
The change log below is based on the beta 0.1.5.0 release.

0.1.5.2 beta will need 0.1.5 base files and it will include everything from 0.1.5.1 beta with all content addons and bug fixes.

The next release is 0.1.6.0 beta which will be another full update!
It includes some bug fixes and a lot of new content!
Sorry, but there is no other way, since the new animation control from the tech demo requires the latest version of Ren'Py (at least 7.2.2).

Will the shower off of the gym be converted into an actual Location that the MC can go to just to see who is there?

Love when an email pops in telling me there is something new here, loking forward to 1.52.. ^^

@darkhound I have no idea why you have only 652 patrons. The design of you game HI is awesome. You are freaking legend dude !!!

Will the nurse outfits be added to the special achievements list for groping and flashing? In .1.5 they weren't and it felt like a really odd omission.

darkhound1

Not yet, it takes too much time unfortunately. The special outfit renders are in webp format in double resolution, which makes it very complicated to be added to the same list and logic as the older png renders.

madmaxxlr

I had a problem with going through Jennifer's story again at the bar. Did that one get fixed because It takes a while to get through.

darkhound1

I'm not aware that there is a problem with her story. Can you be a bit more specific what kind of problem you had with her story?

Bantry

> Yumiko will be at the night bar on Monday, Friday and Sunday (it's an additional day - Friday, compared to older releases) --> will be part of 0.1.5.2 beta < Shouldn't that be Sunday, Wednesday and Friday?

Can we have the option to have the girls change clothes at the reception desk. It'd be nice to be able to get all the flash scenes. Perhaps if you haven't payed enough attention to her for her to wear her skimpy costume, she could say, "Maybe if you're a good boy, I'll give you a reward." If you ask again, but too soon, she could get angry and say, "How dare you? You barely pay any attention to me while I'm stuck working here. Then when you do, it's to ask me to dress sexy for you!"

When the groping scenes are added to the achievements, I think that they should be separate from the flash achievement. Also, will the doctor flash and grope be added to the achievement?

Anonymous

Faye has a red dress when she is sitting at the restaurant, but orange all other times. Can you fix her seated image? Also, I think all the girls should be able to flash the outfits they wear to the restaurant. Maybe if the outfit is complicated, she could say, "This outfit is complicated, I'll need some help." Ideally, I want to see the girls flash in every outfit they have.

I finally got the Ivy true strength scene. I like where the super strength thing is going. Maybe flexing could be added to the intimate actions, but I know that I'm in the minority on this one. However, as part of the strength story, I'd like to have the weaker girls flex and say, "My biceps were never this big before. Where did these muscles come from? I'm lifting way more weight than I used to."

I had trouble updating to 1.5.1 from 1.5.0. Everyone should check the About button to be sure they're running the latest version of the game. I think that my problem was that I used unren on 1.5.0, then tried to update and it failed. If you are having trouble updating, reload, update, then unren. It should work.

I think that I broke Yumiko's "Guess who?" mini-game. She sent me 2 pics then stopped for 30 days. Any way I can get her to start up again?

darkhound1

They will be part of the same achievement and the doctor won't be added right now. It's too complicated, since the overlay image is in double resolution and I have no way of handling that right now (without putting a lot of new code in).

darkhound1

It should already be easy to make them change. Just ignore them for 3 days or visit and talk grope, whatever with them very often.

When we get achievements like yoga or weightlifting, but especially Aly posing topless at the pool, could we see all outfits as we do for the flash achievement? So under Aly posing topless at the pool, you would see 4 of 8 when you got her to do it in the blue bikini, then 8 of 8 when you got her to do it in the skimpy bikini. Alternately, there could be multiple achievements for the same act, just with different outfits. For instance, each girl could have a pecs training in bathing suit, pecs training in bikini, pecs training in skimpy bikini. You initially objected because that many achievements would foul up the phone interface, but now that there is scrolling it wouldn't be bad. However, I understand it's a lot of work, especially when you're adding sounds, etc.

darkhound1

Short answer - no, not if it's the exact same scene just 2 or 3 times. The way the game is designed right now doesn't make a destinction between outfits within the same scene.

Ted Cogley

ok I have been a supporter and I love the game. I don't know how to go about this so im letting you know here I found a error in script when your weight lifting with Ivy. you cant ignore it only rollback and the reload option didn't work you can only close the game out

Bantry

I love Eva, really I do, but isn't it about time for another girl to be the icon for the game?

Anonymous

I'd like to see a new girl icon for every major update. 1.6 could get Delizia, 1.7 could get Faye, 1.8 could be Yvette, etc.

Anonymous

Sweet, sounds like there isn´t too much left for the next update, maybe..? ;)

Anonymous

Suggestion for a future update. An intimate action to be added after the flash action: Breast Kissing or Sucking. After you succeed at getting her breasts out of her clothes, a dialogue option could appear for you to ask her if you can kiss them. If she is alone and her lust and love is high, she'll let you.

Anonymous

Suggestion for a future update: Booty Calls. From 11pm to 3 am, a girl could text you that she's lonely and invite you over with a button for accept. If you press it, the scene starts. Some girls might just want to cuddle all night (Jessica or Aly), while others would be looking to have sex, then kick you out (Amy or Joy).

Lovelly! For some reason I look forward to the titty-sucking part with yvette, Faye´s new stuff - but most importantly, what happens to Aly in the Hot Shots scene.. ;)

GrowTifa

Anyone have an issue with Ivy weightlifting and have a crash as she's racking the weights?

madmaxxlr

I hope that Yvette's story is going g where I hope it is..... I would flip if it is. Love all of here content up til this point. Haven't let me down yet.

Anonymous

Yes, it is a known bug fixed with 1.5.1. Check the About button to make sure you aren't running 1.5.0. You may have tried to update, but the critical parts failed because you ran unren. You may need to start over. Load 1.5.0, then update, check to see that it took, add the new appointments file, then unren. Good luck.

Hey dark do you mean may 1st? Or are you taking us back in time? XD

Anonymous

Ah shit, I misread it as May 5th.. Maybe it is 1st? :) Whatever, it is gonna be soon, looking so much forward to it.. :)

Alternately, you could call them night visits and have a girl knock on the door of the PC's room. She shows up in her lingerie to say she needs some company and the night progresses according to the girl's wishes. Yvette's would already be done. 17 more to go.

awesome something to do on the two days off from work :D

Idea for 1.7 to make appointments easier: Afer we know a girl's measurements, we hardly ever use the "Serious Talk" button again. (I don't know what to call this button, but it's under the regular talk button.) Add another question: "Can we meet up later?" If you don't have all her measurements, she'll answer: "I don't think so, since I hardly know you." If she has any anger, she'll answer: "Not interested! I'm still mad at you!" Otherwise, she'll say, "Sure! Where and when?" You choose from the beach, the pool, the gym or the night bar, then pick the time. This way you wouldn't have to catch the girl in her room in order to schedule the date.

darkhound1

Good idea - I will see if I can do that without too much trouble. Edit: Already done, it will be part of 0.1.6 :)

Anonymous

when will we see your next release?

darkhound1

Funny question, since the date (today) is in the post above :) You can download it since about 5 minutes.

Say, is there a way to see the 'arrival scene' for the girls you start on the island with? Not even for the room number specifically but rather to see if they have any special intros with erotic views like flashing their breasts or something?
