Thank you so much for the recent updates. Any chance of more Yvette content soon?

Bantry

Yvette is great and she has the most content already. She always does well in the polls, but there are a lot of girls that could use additional content. Not to mention, there are still a lot of quests still open that will require new content. We need to figure out how to clone Darkhound and add more hours to the day.

darkhound1

You're welcome. I haven't really made a lot of plans on what to include in 0.1.8 There is some stuff waiting and a lot of quests are still unfinished. Nothing of the open stuff is for Yvette though.

Try to put the next event with Mercedes in her room please. I love her so much.

JerseyBoy3100

Has the second half of Jennifer's story been implemented?

Bantry

Check out the new features and content that are listed for the release 0.1.7.0 beta - https://www.patreon.com/posts/version-0-1-7-05-26566816

JerseyBoy3100

Thanks. Looking forward to it.

Bantry

Jennifer's transformation story will be concluded --> will be part of 0.1.7.2 Now you're just teasing us as 0.1.7.1 hasn't even been released. Either that or it's a typo.

darkhound1

It's not a typo :) I was only waiting a bit longer to see if more bugs would show up. But since everything is more or less quiet by now, you can expect 0.1.7.1 tomorrow or friday.

Just had a chance to explore the new content and you're already dropping 0.1.7.1 in the next couple of days! Great update Darkhound!

Anonymous

You are amazing, darkhound. the work that you're doing is from another world, I like the animation and the diversity of spaces in which it can be ... I hope my Smartphone will resist the other updates because sometimes the game is closed. D':

I can't ask in the reception, when I try the ring bell turns on, is that a bug or exist a specific spot to ask or I'm so dumb and it's not yet implemented?

Anonymous

just updated, alil confused about how to trigger aly event in the gym can anyone help?

Anonymous

Darkhound, another great update! Keep up the great work.

Anonymous

Also, maybe consider adding Eva Hot Shots scene, pretty please^^

darkhound1

I didn't create the android version - it probably can't handle the full screen png images.

darkhound1

You need some luck. If the girl in question is in the gym, you go to teh shower and she forgot to hang out the sign, the scene will start.

How do I access the showers at the gym, the button does not show up, only the one while in my room.

darkhound1

You need to do the shower scene with Faye first to know about the gym shower.

Brianiac

"gym shower" and "beach yoga" sounds like some great additions!

Anonymous

Thank God a new Delizia event!

Anonymous

Thank you Darkhound! hope some new Delizia stuffs in future version :-)

Bantry

A sneak preview of Delizia's yoga event would be nice!

Anonymous

How do I access the showers at the gym ? the scene with Faye don't unlock the gym shower :(

Dispeace

You also have to do the scene with Faye where she is doing pull ups topless and after the sauna or shower scene (win or lose the bet) it should be unlocked. For me it took some time till the bet scene has triggered.

Jess Man

I hope the boat trip thing with Amy and Jennifer happens eventually. Would love it to be the first ffm since we already have a few ff scenes.

darkhound1

It's not forgotten. There is just so much to do with the new UI. I will come back to it soon.

Monsieur X

Ivy gets all the reception uniform renders Lacey gets all the reception uniform renders Nice ! Can't wait to try them at the reception.

darkhound1

Thanks, only Brenda is missing now. All others have all basic character renders :)

1.8 seems to be coming along nicely. Since Lacey seems to be the star of it, can we get her to be the icon for starting the game? If not Lacey, perhaps Mercedes?

darkhound1

Maybe. Problem ist that changing the icon always takes time, better spent on other stuff imo.

I updated to Windows 10, but I'm still having a problem with the memory leak. I know you stopped putting in the code "renpy.free_memory()" for every location change and just do it at 7am. However, my game seems to crash when there is a lot of animations or a lot of images. Can the code be entered again before a big scene? For instance, before Hotshots starts, before the Hot Scene starts at the end, Heather's Posing at the Pool, her Post-Hotshots Scene in her room, and about three times during Yvette's Dinner seem to cause my game to crash. I guess that is a lot of coding, but it wouldn't slow things down much, and it would stop my game fom crashing. Instead, you might just have the code entered an extra time when the bar opens. Maybe you'll find out what is causing the problem and fix it. Good luck.

darkhound1

Don't put your hopes up. I don't think there is anything I can do to fix it. It's with a high probability either a renpy problem or a general python problem with webp images. Maybe it just goes away with a new renpy or python version. It looks like only slow PCs with low memory configuration are affected. Sorry, but I won't put something that creates lags in the game all over the place. Especially not since it's not sure that it will really fix anything. If it helps, I could put it back after every location change, but make this optional. So you can switch it on in the preferences if you need it. Let me know if you would like to have this.

I love the Delizia quest idea!

On the phone, on the screen where we see how often we've worked out, our HI favor, charm points, and number of times we can masturbate in a day, can you add the number of empty vials we have? If you can do it, there's also room on that same page to include the number of high, low, enhanced and high-enhanced vials we have, too. It might also be helpful to include the number of empty vials info on the "Which girl do you want to masturbate to?" screen. It doesn't have to be obtrusive. It could be a mouseover thing if you like.

I see that all Faye gym shower scenes are going to unlock the gym shower. However, I think that the game currently requires that the PC have unlocked his new room in order to get the gym shower unlocked. Will this be changed with 1.8?

darkhound1

The new player room is not checked or related to the gym shower being unlocked. As far as I remember, it never was. Here is the code: if faye.get_scene_seen("Workout_pullups_bet_won") == True or faye.get_scene_seen("Workout_pullups_bet_lost") == True or faye.get_scene_seen("Workout_shower") == True:

darkhound1

I've added the info directly when you hover the mouse over the "masturbate icon". Now the text reads: Masturbate (You have xx empty vials)

Wonderful! Just a question.. Yumiko arrival and Aly arrival after you met her on the plane, scenes like that. Any way "vets" can unlock them on their main play progress, if you know what I mean?

darkhound1

Yumiko arrival will auto trigger creating a slight inconsistency, but you will get the scene on an existing save. Aly plane arrival is not possible without using the console or starting a new game.

How to access Jennifers story conclusion? Can you please give a hint ?

Anonymous

Is editing option is removed from new version 1.8.0??

Anonymous

I have now tried several times to unlock the sex scene with Faye, the hint simply says "high lust". Is there something I've missed? She's using the skimpy outfit and all the stats, except for anger, is filled up. What am I missing?
