Pham KhaVu
So my game did't start and i have two folder to delete are " save " and " Appdata" but i only find " Appdata folder " to delete . I can't find any " save folder " in game folder and now the game still doesn't start. Please how can i fix this? (Sorry my English is a bit bad )
Darkhound
It all starts at the night bar when you listen in on a conversation between Jennifer and another girl while Yumiko is the bartender.
Nathaniel Garro
when comming boat trip scene ?? with one quest begin this ??
Darkhound
Thanks and you're welcome. Happy it's finally done :)
Scott Guy
Merry Christmas to you and us! Thank you for this wonderful present
Scott Guy
I guess that means you found it. LOL
Inquiso
oh wow thx
Scott Guy
You need to jog on the beach between 1030 and 1100, step on the coconut, and the quest will proceed from there.
Inquiso
i didnt somehow get to the lab. do i need a special char on the island?
Darkhound
Thanks a lot! I like her too.
Darkhound
Thank you.
Darkhound
Tests are still running. Either tomorrow or after christmas. I will let you know tomorrow morning.
Scott Guy
I have to admit I'm excited for the sailboat trip like so many others, but I'm equally excited for the return to the lab! Any chance to see Daniela again is worth getting excited about!!
Ze
Any update regarding the release date? Kinda too excited for it ^^
Brianiac
I'm really looking forward to this update and the sailboat journey
gabesz
Lehet jelentkezni a béta tesztre,
Scott Guy
Just to let you know, I'm still having problems with the game freezing up on me if I play for extended periods, usually when I hit an animation. I tried those other suggestions you had, but unfortunately they haven't helped. Is there anything else I could try?
Darkhound
Open the console ctrl+O and type: call minigame_test() This will send you 1 image each time you type it.
Darkhound
I have enough testers at the moment. And believe me when I say it's more work than fun. It's more fun to play a fully working and funtional version a couple of days later.
Scott Guy
YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!! I am SOO excited for the release!
Christian Faßbender
Can one apply for the beta test or is that not possible?
Darkhound
Progress has been made, pre release test version has been uploaded :)
Scott Guy
My butt is starting to hurt waiting here from sitting on pins and needles! I NEED my update!! LOL you know I'm kidding! Just excited to see this update!
Scott Guy
I'm glad to hear this mainly because I don't want you to feel pushed or rushed about getting Brenda's stuff finished for the 4.0 release. If it's not done to your satisfaction and can't be by the time you want to release, then don't pressure yourself. I know it will be spectacular when you are happy with it!
Darkhound
Thank you :)
Darkhound
The not yet done Brenda stuff will be moved to 0.4.1. I'm concentrating on the sailboat event to get 0.4.0 out as soon as possible.
Scott Guy
Hope you're very close to done with the renders for Brenda's quest. Then I know you're almost finished with the whole thing. I know there's a lot more to it than just rendering, but that does seem to be a major place to start hoping for a release.
Stefan Kunze
Yes, more of Amy! She's gorgeus.
Darkhound
Yes, you've definitely been a very good Patreon this year :) Happy to have you. I'm really trying to have it ready still this year.
Bertholdt Starkarm
That would be very nice ^^ I already put Christmas Sarah from last year as my cellphone background for good luck :-)
Scott Guy
Still hoping for a Christmas present from Lord Darkhound. I've been a very good Patreon this year!
Darkhound
The game will not be translated to other languages.
Juan Carlos Serna Rivera
When will the Spanish version be released?
RouxTheDay
With this much amazing game done and all of the re-work going on, I can only imagine how long that list might be...
Scott Guy
OH MY GOD!!! I LOVED her training session on the pull-ups! Speaking of which, I've noticed MC doesn't go down on all the girls and when he does it's either upstairs in the bar or at the pool. Could you incorporate this technique a little more in the future, maybe with Yvette again or Miriam, Mercedes, Joy, Daniela, Yumiko, Aly...I think you're getting the idea. Also, I'd like to see MC kissing Miriam, Mercedes and Joy at some point. I think it's time they show even more love toward our hero.
Darkhound
I have been thinking about it a couple of times, but it's not on my priority list.
Darkhound
If she's on the island and her love is high enough and anger is low enough, she will schedule training sessions once a week by sending a message for an appointment that you can decline.
RouxTheDay
Just curious... We've got rotations at the desk, clinic, bar, and sexy housekeeping as well as our fierce lifeguards on duty. Is there a kitchen on the island where more sweet treats might be found someday?
Scott Guy
Since Yvette's training appointment at the gym has been redone, will we have a chance to do it again with her, or will it just be available to see through her profile?
Mark Fieten
Looking forward to 4.0! Maybe one more item for the to do list: it would be nice to have the option to skip days or even a week; currently I'm waiting for the remaining 29 images from Yumiko and at 30 minutes a time, my left mouse button is starting to complain :-)
Can you please add new character
Darkhound
It's something Patreon finally managed to introduce after like 4 years :)
Scott Guy
Forgot to say thank you for pinning this to the top. Makes it much easier to keep up with your updates!
Scott Guy
Honestly, I was hoping for earlier too, but I didn't want to seem pushy about it.
Darkhound
Thank you for the kind words :)
Darkhound
I hope for an earlier release date, but we will have to see.
Hopkins
Lacey?
Scott Guy
So just some Boat scenes and a couple of Brenda scenes and we'll be good to go. My prediction is around Christmas.
JS
Hi, I'm new here and I just created an account on patreon website just to follow the new of this beautiful game and look for the ending what will it look like. the problem is I just created this new account and sadly I'm +18 but still studying in the college and sadly I can't join any memberships right now. All what I can say is that this game is amazing and I encourage you to finish this game and make it the best adult game evermade. Thanks for reading my comment if you did, And good luck in the next updates
Syberyan
Daniela is so damn hot... can't wait!
Darkhound
Haha, I can assure you it will be quite a sight and a lot of fun :)
Scott Guy
So Daniela will be taking the samples with this visit to the lab? Oh, what my mind is thinking...YUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
Darkhound
Thank you :)
Scott Guy
I agree! Much quicker to look up specific information you might be looking forward to!
nissebrygger
Like the new format, very easy to get an overview
Scott Guy
I saw that. Absolutely LOVE it! Maybe you could gradually do this with some of the other ladies? Like Yumiko, Mercedes, Miriam, Daniela, Aly? As always, just a passing thought and/or suggestion...
Darkhound
You're welcome. It comes with a lapdance, boobjob, blowjob and a shower scene. So she gets the full package :)
Scott Guy
A new version of Amy's poker game?! HELL YEAH!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Darkhound
Thanks. What can I say, the holiday period is a little slow at work, so I have more time to work on the game.
zapallbugs
Wow, Darkhound, you are cracking on speed. An update each day!
Scott Guy
MMMMM Jennifer on the boat?! Now that's what I call a waterbed! Let's make waves!! (Still hoping to make some waves onshore with Yumiko)
Scott Guy
Oh, bestill my heart, will we FINALLY get more action with her of the horizontal style?!
Darkhound
She might even get another scene that is not yet listed :)
Darkhound
Thanks :)
Scott Guy
Very happy to see Yumiko being more in the stories, especially in the bar and at the beach as you've listed. She definitely needs more screen time!
Nathaniel Garro
ok thanks when next step in the quest to desiree the university time ?? i see in the next vision and with miriam and mercedes strenght to joy i read on all update in the vision. Mercedes and Miriams secret and persuade Desire to tell you about the university time. thanks for the answers and take the time to answer me :).
Scott Guy
Again, just curious. She'd asked to visit my room again while I was playing the game and it reminded me of the hot tub suggestion, that's all. For me, it's not a real big deal, although I'm sure there will be a lot of others disappointed.
Scott Guy
I understand. It was just a thought. Maybe a series of fantasy workups? Again, just a thought. I have no artistic ability whatsoever, or I'd try it myself! LOL
Darkhound
This one I can answer. She already gets a ton of new and remade stuff before her retirement. But the list is really long already and I won't turn 0.4.0 into a Brenda release. So the answer is no for Brenda.
Darkhound
Things like that are very complicated in a sandbox game. The more girls are present, the harder it gets to manage it as an event. That's why I restrict most content to two girls plus maybe a special or staff character that is always present.
Darkhound
Have to see if it fits in from render count and also time.
Darkhound
I have worked on a couple of scenes not listed, but I didn't want to add too many things that are not that far along yet. The boat trip has some renders from a year ago or even older and I have to see what I'm going to replace in addition to the new ones.
Darkhound
When it's ready. There is no date yet.
Nathaniel Garro
when come 0.4 ??
Scott Guy
Are we going to have Brenda in the hot tub this time?
zapallbugs
Is it just me, I don't see anything in the new features list that refers to the boat trip? Has work on that not started yet?
Scott Guy
With a cherry on top?
BeeGee
Yumiko.... sex scene.... pretty please?
Monsieur X
Any chance for a new hot shot in 0.4 ?
martin.maertens
Amy and Jennifer on a boat... that screams TITFIGHT!!!!
norb82
if you search the posts for boat trip you will find the two images.
TXgamer
Amy and Jennifer together.......I remember the boat trip tease years ago or a vote or something! So excited to see it coming!! Still my ATF DH! The best unique and most beautiful ladies.
Monsieur X
About Joy appointment, be sure that you did all mini quest available for the girls that have them, maybe one girl is off the island and you didn't do her mini quest ?
Scott Guy
Hey, just had an idea. Don't know if it's ever been proposed, but what about a costume/Halloween party? Miriam and Mercedes could come as She-Hulk and Red She-Hulk respectively, Ivy could be Wonder Woman, and we've already seen Heather as Harley. I'm sure we could all come up with ideas for the other girls as well. What do you think?
EscapeEvade
More Sara and Jennifer content. Sign me up.
Smiggins
It would be nice if there is a bit more info about how to fire certain events. I have a bunch of events that say "do x to complete" but when I do it, it doesn't happen. Eg I can't book a new appointment with Joy despite completing a sub-quest and waiting a week, I can't get Ivy's true strength or any of the tasks relating to conversations with her in the bar. It seems a lot of events just aren't firing or there is some hidden trigger that I simply can't find.
Bill Sherman
Amen! The poker in this game is still my favourite part and even inspired me to create my own web-based game. :D
ledferrelin
Yes, I really like where this is going. The boat trip is going to be legendary
Syberyan
I really hope you'll be able to focus more on new content from now on, instead of re-doing existing scenes. Looks like this update is heading in the right direction, can't wait !
norb82
The sailboat trip is very long time awaited, maybe first mentioned 5 years ago :) I am sure it will be awesome as ususal :)
norb82
Mia mentioned in the lab that the MC could help her swim lesson in the pool next time.... maybe she needs help with her swimsuit too...
Scott Guy
Ooh, more lab stuff! COOL!! I hope things advance with Daniela too, like maybe inviting her to the bar? Maybe getting a little closer to Mercedes as well?
Darkhound
Yup, was about time :)
Monsieur X
Amy pocker scene update ! Nice !!
