Darkhound
Thanks and yes I had :) Release is a day early and just uploaded a couple of minutes ago.
Scott Guy
Hope you had a great vacation! Looking forward to Thursday with even greater anticipation!

Rel 3.6 launch date confirmed, Release will be 1st of September. 724 new renders, videos or sound files 260 updated renders
Mongo
Woo Hoo!
Scott Guy
Since it's so close to releasing, I won't ask about Ivy's emotions. I'll just wait, but if you feel so inclined to allow us a preview I won't say no!
Scott Guy
Beta testing will begin very soon I hope!
Scott Guy
Hope so! I'm already turning blue from holding my breath, so to be plaid!
Darkhound
If all goes well, shouldn't take much longer now until beta testing :)
BooBallz
Dear Darkhound, I keep seeing two Delizas at the doctor's office. Just wanted to report it... It's not like one of the images misrepresents another nurse... Like, I used to have an invisible Desire that I could give a hug, who also occasionally appeared next to Deliza. Now it's all Deliza... Nothing much to complain of course. She's a delight. Oh, and thanks for keeping this game awesome.
Scott Guy
Getting really excited for 3.6! Just saying!
Scott Guy
Greetings and salutations your immense holiness Darkhound. Since you were so gracious to allow us the preview of Yvette's emotions, would it be possible for the same with Lacey please? I realize I'm asking a lot, and I really don't mean to. I never do, but thank you for at least considering it.
Darkhound
Haha :D
Scott Guy
I understand, and it makes sense with the change to Delizia. BTW, I'm now approaching Day 2040. LOL
Darkhound
In the end, the version number is just a number. It's not really a scientific approach. I more or less just make them up :) Basically after each version jump 3.x.0 there is a bug fix 3.x.1 and it might be followed by a small incremental update 0.3.x.2. The bigger jump in numbers last time was mainly related to changing Delizia to staff and the introduction of that new concept.
Scott Guy
I'm thinking that since there are so many changes from the current version to the next update, would it be possible that it will be version 3.8 rather than 3.6? I went back to the previous update and noticed more changes between those two, but that was a .4 upgrade. That's why I thought this would only be about .2.
Darkhound
Thanks. Same principle you can see in Yvette's bikini emotion previews I just posted.
Brianiac
I only recently noticed that Delizia's posture changes at the doctor's office depending on her stats. Nice touch!
Darkhound
Yes, will upload a picture tomorrow.
Scott Guy
Any chance we could get a sneak peek of Yvette's new swimsuit emotions?
Darkhound
All the dialogue has to be written, images have to be added to the sript. Stuff like zoom effects, sound, etc have to be added. Also the integration into the game like triggers and achievements have to be added. Some of the images are not post worked yet, so this has to be done as well.
Scott Guy
I'm curious. When it says "renders are done" does that mean the scripting is what needs to be done to complete the scenes, or is there some more than that?
Luchs II
Hi,may i ask is there any plan on Alice in the next next update(0.3.7 or whatever version)?Really like her! : )
Scott Guy
Based on the progression mentioned above as of 7/9/22, I'm guessing the next release should be by the end of August/early September. I'm not asking for an exact release date since I know better. As I said, it's just my guesstimate. :-)
Darkhound
Should be fixed in 0.3.6
Darkhound
Thanks, but I have wasted enough time on this one.
Darkhound
Not all scenes are animated. Especially some of the older ones are not.
Richard Baron
I have the update 3,5,1 now, And I have had IVY show up 4 times in the hallway, going back to my room. Speaking of going back to room, will you be making a floor plan of the Hotel with ALL, thats ALL the girls room location?
Darkhound
Her poker scene will be remade and a poker reward will be added.
Scott Guy
Hello. Yes, it's me again. Another thought that crossed my mind has me wondering if you will be adding any moans to earlier scenes if and when you update those? I'd really love to hear Amy or Yvette moan while we're in the throes of passion! Hey, I know it's another dream, but that's just the way my mind works! LOL
Dispeace
Hi Darkhound, is there any plan for Jessica in the next update? Really missing her ;)
Darkhound
There will be new content for Daniela in the next update :)
Darkhound
First one in a longer version is already mostly rendered. So that's a yes. Second one probably not in 0.3.6, but right after.
Monsieur X
Any chance for one or maybe both in next update: - Ivy breast bump - Ivy posing topless at the pool Thanks.
Darkhound
The first picture was a very early preview. The new one is from in game.
Scott Guy
Another curiosity question...Any reason Mia has become blonde now? I noticed in the previous content focus she was with brown hair.
Darkhound
That's already part of 0.3.5.1 which has been released a couple of weeks ago.
Scott Guy
I don't know about anyone else, but if it's raining outside, I'd prefer to be sitting under a canopy that is retractable than in a downpour while I eat. Another thought. Sorry, my mind just works that way.
Darkhound
She will get a base strength of 3 with the next update. Also her weights in the bench pressed will be reduced.
Scott Guy
I was wondering if there are going to be any new desires or wishes requests, specifically involving Aly or Ivy anytime soon? Especially with Ivy's new look, I know I'd love to help fulfill a wish or desire of hers!
Chaza1234
Small request, and feel free to disregard. Aly's strength score is currently 2/10, although the existing rendors in the gym seem to suggest she is more capable that she seems.. Would it be possible to boost this score in game to be more in line with the rendors?
Scott Guy
I downloaded 3.5.1 but I still have 2 Delizias when visiting the doctor's office sometimes. Just wanted to let you know.
Richard Baron
I found a bug, in the 3.5 update and hope it got fixed with the 3.5.1 update. The bug is when you first meet the girls and ask them all the questions, The girls are all in the for ground, with the questions are behind then and I for one can't read them. Then, I have a question. When you ask Alice to pole dance and go up stairs with her and have sex with her, how come no animation? But when she wins the WET "T" SHIRT contest or the best butt contest, and you get invited for a romp back in her room their is some, why?
Darkhound
Thank you for the kind words.
Syberyan
More Daniela is the best news ever 😄 Kudos to your work in general. Your renders are simply amazingly hot, especially from the last update. They just keep getting better.
ilo22
Hey Darkhound I realy like your game :D I just have one little request. As I am affected by an colorblindness(protanopia) It is hard to determine the colors at the phone on the appointment screens. Especially yellow and green. It would be the best to change the hearts to different forms. I know there is one flower and the others have hearts. I think all categories should have different forms, and they should be mentioned in the tooltip.
Alexus
Crossing all my limbs hoping for more content for Daniela and Eva ^^
Darkhound
Okay :)
Darkhound
Thanks :)
hisstoryman
Nice!
Dan-0
More Ivy and Daniela I approve.
Darkhound
Next weekend is only a bug fix with some minor stuff. Everything that has 0.3.5.1 on it. All the big things like lab, etc. are part of 0.3.6.
Scott Guy
Wow, a REAL birthday present! You're spoiling this old man something fierce this week! Can NOT wait to see the new underground lab scenes, especially more Daniela!! Really hope we get some intimate time with her, and she didn't find someone to "help" her on that vacation Joy forced her to take. Those would truly be classic scenes! Thank you again for the birthday update today!
Darkhound
Thank you my friend. Was long overdue to make use of it.
Darkhound
Haha, I don't think that's even a word :)
Nissebrygger
Sold on the new poster style. Also I'll take the tall one and if she has a sister that is fine too ^_^ (ps. I will need Daniela's help if she has)
midothegreat
Ivy was my favorite, but now she is my favoritest
Darkhound
Mia is a new girl the MC will meet in the underground lab. She won't be a guest on the island, but you will meet her again later in a different place. (I'm trying to avoid spoilers). It will hopefully be clearer after the next update.
pmsrw3
Who is this Mia? Guess I haven't been paying enough attention...
