Hold on a second...As I'm reading the list, will the next release be 5.1 or 5.0.1? Everything listed in the bug fixes says it will be fixed in 5.0.1, but Jessica's upgrade at the pavilion will be in 5.1. Could you please clarify for us?

zapallbugs

From what I can see 5.0.1 is intended as pure bug-fix release so the Android port can be made. 5.1.0 is intended for new content.

darkhound1

Normaly you are right, but I just decided to change it. Will be easier to just have one version. So the small image upgrade will also make it into the bug fix version 0.5.0.1

Lord Eagle

Thank you for letting us know. It just seemed a little strange to me. Sorry about the nitpicking! You know I'm usually better than that! LOL

Alex

Hello, I have not been able to get Desire’s university quest to trigger. What is the initial trigger?

Hacker Pro

What's your basic plan about 5.1.0 ? What do you feel like implementing on this update?

Monsieur X

This part is not fixed with 0.5.0.1 : During Yvette's date at the pool, if you try staring at anything else but her face, the camera zooms to the top left corner of the screen -> will be fixed with version 0.5.0.1

Hacker Pro

Noticed a spelling error when Miriam takes you to the lab, "Mabye you could visit me in my room?" Maybe is spelled wrong.

Hacker Pro

Right after the accident

darkhound1

Thank you. Fixed, will be part of the next update.

darkhound1

Thanks. It was still wrong for one of her outfits. Fixed now as well.

Lord Eagle

In your write-up for Mercedes, you said she was confined to a wheelchair at 28 instead of the correct age of 18. Also, you initially didn't say how many achievements she has, but later told us it is 24. Just trying to help.

YankeeinKy

Thank you for pointing out that error in the Guide and has been corrected. I maintain and update the Guide every release. The correction will show in the next Guide release. Once again thanks for letting me know of the error.

Lord Eagle

Just trying to help! Love this game! It truly is my number 1 favorite of all time!

Lord Eagle

Checking in to make sure you are OK here Lord Darkhound. Haven't heard anything for 2 weeks now. I know that's not that long, but being interested in such a wonderful game/story, it's nice to even hear "we're still working here and there will be an update soon." LOL

Lord Eagle

Very cool link! Thanks! If I come up with something, I'll submit there at some point too.

Lord Eagle

Another idea, sorry, I can't stop them even when I try! If you are ever doing a Halloween theme, either in game canon or just separate pics, I think Yvette would be the sexiest goblin ever seen! I don't know why I find that to be such a turn-on, but just thinking about her with the green skin, huge mammaries, cute ass and in MC's lap has me needing a VERY cold shower! Thoughts?

Lord Eagle

No updates for a month on our beloved story?? I do hope you are alright good sir!

Dilly

Just sayin' - standing (well, sitting) in awe of this amazing achievement. Do you ever plan to release the python code, or will you take your secrets to the grave? :-)

darkhound1

Sorry for that. All is good. Just was busy and a bit too lazy to update the news. I will try to do better.

darkhound1

Sorry, update is there now. Once I have post worked the images, I will add the image count and also fill in the pictures in the preview.

darkhound1

Argh... Goblin? She would not like that. She wants something cute and nice. Maybe a smurf :)

Lord Eagle

YES!! HE IS ALIVE!! *BIG sigh of relief!* So glad you're still with us kind sir! The updates sound really good so far! Just wondering if it's possible to move up Daniela's HotShots game to 5.1? It seems waiting that long is just downright TORTURE to us!! Please consider bringing it in for 5.1!

Lord Eagle

Smurf would be good too. How about a miniature She-Hulk? I could see her pull that off too! LOL

Lord Eagle

I was just going by the date under the banner still being May 1st. Glad you're OK!

Bantry

Just an FYI. Halloween with Mercedes as She-Hulk has already been done in Fan Fiction. Remember it is Fan Fiction. (***disclaimer***) ( This is FAN FICTION / FAN EDITED and no way represents any actual images or story from the game ) (Any similarity to any future story-line is coincidental) https://f95zone.to/threads/holiday-island-fanfiction.77555/post-5400945

Lord Eagle

@Bantry Wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the link!

Lord Eagle

Looking over the list of objectives posted already, I certainly hope Yvette will still be wrapping those gorgeous legs around MC's neck during her workout scenes...or maybe his waist too? :P

Wanderson Eleniederson Alves

I have been facing issues with the game on Android 13. It closes on its own since the previous version. Is there a solution for this error?

darkhound1

I haven't changed her special training appointment in general, only changed the basic images that are also part of the scen to use the new ones.

Lord Eagle

Works great for me my friend! Also, I'm SO glad to see the next version will be 5.2 now so we don't have to wait as long for Daniela's Hotshots! Two of my absolute favorites featured in the next version? I'm going to have to stock up on lotion and Kleenex!

Dan-0

Any chance of new Ivy, Miriam, or Mercedes for this next patch?

Lord Eagle

LOVING the bodysuit Joy has on in the picture at the top and Daniela looks scrumptious too, good enough to eat! YUMMMM!!!!

Acronix

Hey, in that scene upstairs in the pool room, where Amy's telling the MC about Simone and Luka... Simone comes out of the room two minutes later and says to Amy: "I will. And than you, Amy." Shouldn't that "than" actually be "thank"? I mean, it makes sense because Amy's very next line is "Don't thank me yet."

Bertholdt Starkarm

Seeing Joy in that suit came totaly unexpected... but most welcome ^^ The other contend is also very good, that will be an allnighter again to play :-)

Satir

This is the best game I've ever seen in 18+. It's very interesting, and there's a lot of stuff: lots of scenes, lots of girls, and it's a whole world you can live in for a long time. Amazing feelings, really a AAA game, thanks to the game developers for the experience! I've been playing the game for a few weeks, it's a really amazing project. I want another similar game, but everything else is worse... This is my first review, I never write, but this game made me do it. Just super. I would like to get a paid membership, but my country's card won't work here. It's a pity that you can't pay with cryptocurrency, I would have done it. Thank you for your work!

Veritus Ahriman

Is it possible to have a titfight night sequel, with Natasha, Aly, Faye and Mercedes?

Lord Eagle

Hello? Anybody home? Kind sir, it's been almost another month without any word. Not even the talked-about new comic for Heather. I know we fans are getting a bit antsy for any news please. Even if it's just saying you're still working on it and you're still breathing!

darkhound1

I just updated the post. I know I've said it before, but I will really try to give you more updates. A new comic (with Alice) will be released later today as well. Tomorrow there will be some previews of Daniela's Hotshots scene.

darkhound1

Hasn't been decided yet, but probably not.

darkhound1

Thank you for the support and the nice comment.

darkhound1

Thank you so much for the kind words.

darkhound1

Other girls might be added later. But for now, the priority is on continuing the story and filling some holes.

Lord Eagle

I do appreciate the updates, but I'm more concerned about you and your health! VERY happy you're doing well! Looking forward to seeing the comic, though I am confused about it being about Alice since I thought Heather won the poll, and I'm REALLY excited about the Daniela teasers! Love that woman!

Acronix

When are we getting Alice's Hotshots scene? You know I love that pretty blonde babe ^^

Lord Eagle

So, looking through the update list, it seems there are only 3 things left to do before the next release unless you come up with another addition. Honestly, there are times when less is more but more is never less appreciated! We can all wait for any new ideas to be a part of 5.3, like maybe more intimate scenes with Mercedes and/or Miriam or maybe even finally having the Aly date we've been waiting for since the start of the game. (Just a couple of thoughts there...)

Charles McGrew

Hail, darkhound - the bringer of joys and delights!

Ferro

Almost always Darkhound continues to add more features and content to the list with every update in the development post, so updates are about 2-3 times per year. Patience good sir.

Lord Eagle

Oh I know all about how many items are added to each update my friend. Been playing since about 1.3 or thereabouts. Just very excited to play Hotshots with Daniela! LOL

Ted Cogley

need nudist day for all females only LOL no joking

Lord Eagle

With what's been happening on other websites, I just wanted to say I'm glad you don't fall under the scrutiny of a bunch of small-minded idiots who think they have the right to tell everyone what they should and shouldn't see or read or buy. Personally, I know a great rhinoplasty surgeon who can help them get their noses back on their faces and out of everybody else's business.

Acronix

Hey darkhound, loving the work! Quick question: any plans to keep the Monthly renders going in the future? Just curious what's on the horizon. Cheers!

Lord Eagle

I'll be here all week...

Lord Eagle

Good afternoon, Lord Darkhound! Thank you for the update to the post! According to your latest update, there are only 2 things left needed for the release of 5.2. However, I am fully aware that new ideas could spring forth at any time, so I am patient enough to wait until you are completely satisfied with your work to give it to us, your loyal subjects!

darkhound1

I have been experimenting a lot with AI video creation those last weeks. You can expect more animated sequences in the future. Some will already be part of the next update.

Lord Eagle

Oh, stop my over-beating heart!! MORE, and even BETTER animations?!! You are being far too kind to your loyal subjects, good sir! On behalf of all of us, thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts! I know better than to ask for any examples so as not to spoil anything, but certainly looking forward even more to 5.2 now!

Bertholdt Starkarm

Had such a nice dream with Heather and Alice tonight... I realy need to visit the island again :-)

Jiri Sonka

Hello, all fans of this game, although the game is very good and popular, I would like to ask the "Creative Team" about a few things, whether they could be incorporated into the game. Since I am not a person who speaks English, could you not put a translate in the menu, which could make it easier for me and translate it into Czech? Furthermore, and I already wrote in a post before update 051 was released, that girls, when they are waiting for the player in a bar or by the pool, look as if they want to murder him. And yet it should be the opposite, they should look nice, if possible smile so that he prefers this or that girl, don't you think? I don't want to criticize your work by any means. Thank you for your understanding and, if you will excuse the bad English, I am writing this via Google Translate. I wish you all the best and that the next update will be as successful as we all wish. Kudos to your work.

Hacker Pro

Hope everything is going well and that you're taking some time off to relax and have your vacations. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

darkhound1

I was on holidays most of augist, now I'm back :)

Hacker Pro

Yeah that explains the last update. Hope you had fun. I know you're gonna cook with the next update. Dont rush it take your time and it will be amazing.

JMC

Android?

Lord Eagle

Nice!! Thank you so much for the update! I know you are incredibly busy getting the next version ready for us, and anytime you can tell us what you've been doing, it is greatly appreciated! Had another question...Will there be any more suggestions/requests from the girls in the near future? I always enjoy those special segments, making the girls a little happier and getting to know them even better.

Acronix

Hey dude, for the third bullet point under new features, major improvements, and content updates—the first sentence has a typo: "oyu" should be "you".

darkhound1

Haha, just fixed it 30 seconds before you wrotr the comment.

Acronix

Perfect timing then! 👌

Charles McGrew

Hey dude, you misspelled completey. But I shall not misspell "pedantic" :-). But let this in no way distract you from your coding!!!

Acronix

For the strip poker,If you're playing stripping poker with any pretty girl on this island and just return their clothes after winning instead of making a more "fun" request, that's a total waste of an opportunity. I mean, come on—you should make things more interesting for everyone.

Hacker Pro

Some interaction between Miriam and Mercedes would be nice. 🙏🏼 Just sayin' . 😅😅

HaggardPunk

Very very much appreciated please.

Béla

That would be awesome!

Lord Eagle

Any update good sir?

darkhound1

I'm still adding animations. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time for game devopment at the moment. Too many things going on.

Lord Eagle

I understand. Merely curious. Life does get in the way sometimes like that... LOL

Hacker Pro

Don't stress yourself man. You could pause it and come back whenever you're ready and better

王大拿

Hey dude,your work is excellent,love it! Is it possible to have some threesome or group sex scene in the future? Love to see girls party together lol

HaggardPunk

Any good news coming up?

Alban Marku

io ho un problema non parte la schena di joy per natasha khan. you meet joy in her office and talk about natasha“s breasts. grazie mille in anticipo

Mr Perfect

Have you been on Holiday yourself Darkhound, you haven't posted anything in half a year, hope you're well and you're coming back to update us all soon

Lord Eagle

Are you OK kind sir? Almost 3 months without ANY kind of update! Seriously, I am worried about you. Even I was in the hospital since the 3rd of November and got out 2 days ago. Even just a "yes, I'm still here" would be wonderful to see!

darkhound1

I'm still here. Alice post coming up :)

Lord Eagle

I'm just glad you're OK! Welcome back!

big klose

The Android Version doesnt seem to work. I get the Start screen.. Loading game.... Pls be patient and then the screen turns Black and nothing else happens. In case you have a Foldable phone e.g. Samsung Fold 6 and you have the same problem start the game on the small front screen and once its loaded you can unfold it. That seemed to work for me at least.

Alban Marku

e quando e previsto il rilascio di 0.5.2.0 per favore . e poi ti devo dire una cosa forse ho sbagliato io ma non sono mai riuscito a sblocare tutto sono andato avanti fino a 2000 giorni e poi ricominciato mai riuscito a sblocare tutte le scene o foto . un picolo aiuto come funziona o come proseguire il gioco ho 2 anni che gioco con questo gioco mi piace molto sono inamorato con questo gioco . perfavore un picolo auto grazie mille in anticipo

Acronix

Hey guys, quick question—has anyone actually triggered the "Discover the hidden laboratory" hidden quest? The hint says "You should jog at the beach around noon," but I’ve been running there during that time and nothing new happens. Does this quest have other requirements?

Acronix

Appreciate the heads-up, but I’m not exactly a newbie—my game’s already at day 530, and I’ve finished Miriam’s events long ago. So, for this quest… are you saying I need to watch the scene where MC hurts himself while jogging on the beach again?

Bantry

Sorry, mis-read you question. I'm not showing that hidden quest in my task/quest list. Have you had the second check-up with Daniela on your ankle? If not, try completing that one. How to is in the Guide too. If that isn't it, you might try jogging on the beach earlier. My initial 'hurt my ankle, visit the lab' happened while jogging around 10:00am. Past that, I got nothing.

Ted Cogley

so next year 2026 dec when this update releases

Lord Eagle

I'm wondering the same thing here. I'm thinking it just needs to be crossed off as being done if you've already gone through the second check-up with Daniela. Just a minor glitch.

Jay Bones

I'm not sure why anyone would pay to be a Patreon, there hasn't been any new releases in months.

Snobby Coder

hello, is it still a work in progress? Or for some reason the 5.2 release has been cancelled? I was looking for a possible release date..

Snobby Coder

last preview was dec 2025, so it might be just a question of time

Lord Eagle

Any kind of update to offer, my Lord Darkhound?

Snobby Coder

Hello, is this still in developing? Alice post came up in decvember, but then looks like everything stopped again; is this permanent? Thank you, really apreciate the work behind!

Scott Guy

Just wondering if you're still with us. No update in 4+ months. I'm still waiting to play Hot Shots with Daniela in the bar! PLEASE don't make me wait much longer!!

Snobby Coder

He posted a preview on 6th of December, but since then nothing again; maybe he's passing some personal iussue we ain't aware of, but i'm sure the wait will be worth when 5.2 will come out..

Scott Guy

Usually, he will update the date on this post when he gives new info on the list in here. That's what I'm referring to with my post.

비들

hi. when 0.5.2 come?

Snobby Coder

no answers from the developer since december... I hope he's still working on this but last version came out last year, so... at least wouldd be good to know if the work is still in progress or not.

PezSez

As a long time supporter, this is past any reasonable feedback or progress. Step up!

Scott Guy

OK, this post was originally created almost a year ago. There's been no update to the list for close to 6 months now. ARE YOU STILL ALIVE MY LORD?? At this point, I just want to know if you have a pulse!! PLEASE respond to us!!!

JT PT

Dead game guys. The files are too large and the compleixity of adding updates probably isn't worth it at this point. I think the game is unsustainable so he's probably moved on to other projects/patreon accounts. Sad but this is usually how games die, no official "it's over" post because they need to keep milking subs especially with other content like the "comics".

Halifax

too bad I really liked his art / story. Will unsub but if he comes back would gladly resub

Snobby Coder

same here. really sorry and may come back if updates come..

Ahdharr

Honestly Darkhound, if you're alive put something out there. It's not right to leave your backers hanging like this, and you possibly could've found someone to help you work on the game by now to keep things going if you'd put it out there that it's become a bit much for one person/you have real-life things going on. People would understand. But to go awol is really disrespectful of them and their support.

Scott Guy

I received a message from his highness, Lord Darkhound, and he injured his right arm. He assured me he would give an update on here this weekend. He IS alive and well for the most part, except for his arm.

Scott Guy

He sent me a message today and said he'd injured his right arm. That's why he hasn't been on for so long. The game is NOT dead.

YankeeinKy

The almighty Creator lives :) So sorry to hear about your arm. What ever your choice. I'll still do what I can to help. No arm wrestling sir. You don't want Heather on ya. lol.

Scott Guy

It looks like the update is mostly ready, so I'm going to guess that is should be released late April/early May. I know things are taking longer than expected now, so I won't be disappointed if I'm wrong. All I know is that it will definitely be worth the wait!

Acronix

Glad to have you back! Been wondering where you've been since December — sorry to hear about your arm, hope it's healing up well. 🙏 Stoked to see you back at it, looking forward to whatever you've got coming next!

Monsieur X

Thanks for the update. Glad you're back.

Scott Guy

Just an FYI... I was trying to access the favorite moments on the phone and I keep getting this message... I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Scott Guy

I don't play anything but Solitaire on my phone. This is on my PC. The phone I was referring to is the one in the game.

HaggardPunk

Good to see that progress is being made

darkhound1

You can try to open the console (shift+o) and type: renpy.free_memory() Although it is done already whenever you switch from one girl to another. Since I've added this, it never happened on my PC again. to leave console, press "esc" or type: exit

Scott Guy

Seems to have worked! Thank you my lord!

Halifax

great to see you back, resubscribed. FYI have you seen the animations on CivitAI for Holiday Island? they are pretty good.

Scott Guy

Do you have a link for this?

Scott Guy

Much appreciated, sir! Very nice page you have there!

zapallbugs

He is not only back, but looking at the numbers he is getting some work done as well. Which could be hard to do if he is still a one-arm bandit.

Acronix

Any chance this released in May? Also tiny heads-up: in point 6, "Alcie" is probably meant to be Alice.

Scott Guy

As much as I'd love to see the new beach walk scene with Yvette, I think we could all wait for it in the next release at this point. I'm personally looking very forward to the HotShots scene with Daniela more than anything! Please, please, PLEASE release 5.2 in May!!! I am actually BEGGING you, good Lord Darkhound!

Is there possibility for ios port in the future? Intstaling .ipa is now easy af

Scott Guy

You've talked about trying to reduce your workload on the game. Maybe if you'd try to put less on each release, you could reduce your stress at the same time. Just a thought.

zapallbugs

Please, no. I hate those games that ship every two weeks, but then only add one small scene each time. I would rather wait longer and then have a substantial update.

Scott Guy

I'm not talking every two weeks, but maybe if he did only 3 or 4 characters instead of 7 or 8 like it seems in the main pic above, it would be easier on him. I like the bigger updates too, but waiting over a year for one is a bit tough to handle sometimes. I know he injured his right arm, and that makes working with a mouse VERY difficult. That's why I'm suggesting only 3 or 4 girls' story updates per release to make it easy on him.

HaggardPunk

What new things will we be able to do with Eva in the next update?

you can type with one arm and do a status update though

Acronix

Just noticed it's been over a year since the last 0.5 release, and the dev updates seem to have been quiet since April 19th, so I figured I'd check in. curious about when "Yvette's second appointment"might be finished. As always, fully support your work, and take whatever time you need!

Scott Guy

Greetings my good Lord Darkhound. It's been a couple of months again since we heard from you. Hope the arm is healing at a good pace and you're able to get closer to finishing up the last couple of items on the list above. Very much awaiting our time with the medical goddess in the bar, among the other activities lined up in the next update! Hoping for a release here very soon, kind sir!

KOYLI

Like (I suspect) many others, I have unsubscribed until some definite progress is seen in this project. Patreon, for some developers, seems to be a window for them to charge a monthly membership fee, based on the VERY vague promise of a product at some time in the distant future - crowdfunding at its worst

Acronix

Although I don't want to admit it, the development time for the current 5.2 version has already exceeded 14 months since 5.0 (released on April 13), which is truly disheartening.

HaggardPunk

Really hope Darkhound comes back with a reply and some answers soon.

Hein Hirni

I agree with this! It seems Darkhound has gone dark already! I'll be patient until the end of July. I'll will end my patreonship then.

Hein Hirni

I reduced my Membership for next month 2,10 $! If I still haven't heard from you by the end of August, I will have to assume that you have abandoned any further work on Holiday Island. So i will cancel my patreonship!

Jishin Studios

Well, as the one doing the comics for him: The comics are completely done by me and my team and just needed darkhounds ok :D So, the idea was to provide some additional content while he has time to give you some updates :D

HaggardPunk

I'm sure there are LOTS of players hoping the game gets some progress soon. <3 Holiday Island

HaggardPunk

Can the game get, for lack of a better word "outsourced" somehow? We need someone/something to get going with this game soon.

Alfa Béta

Any chance for 0.5.2 update anytime soon?

James Gagnon

Super excited for a new update on this game! I just head a song from the game being used by a vendor I haven't called in a while at work! Had a moment of confusion like "wait! I know this song well! 🤣🤣"

HaggardPunk

Just got an update. Darkhound-CREATOR⸱ 4h ago All good, it just takes some more time. HaggardPunk's profile picture HaggardPunk ⸱ 3m ago Great too hear from you. I'm glad your back.

Alfa Béta

Wow I see you updated the post today, but with what? I don't see any change :( Do you still working on 0.5.2?

Ferro

New development news? Hallelujah! Hope your arm is better!

darkhound1

I'm still updating the post. Have to organize things a bit more. I have added some new things, but it's not yet finished.

darkhound1

Thanks for asking. It is a lot better. Not back at 100%, but good enough for all things you normally do. I will still refrain from pulling out tree trunks for a while, but typing, using the mouse or carrying things around is fine again.

Scott Guy

Oh...my...GOD!!! Having an update on this day means more to me personally than you could possibly imagine. I was a flight attendant for American Airlines/TWA in 2001. That disastrous day was so devastating to me and all my collogues. Even 25 years later the memories are still as fresh as that morning. Actually, it is precisely 8:48 AM EDT as I write this...the exact moment the first plane hit. Reading that you've updated this morning has strengthened my heart, truly. And reading that Daniela is getting a beach walk scene is an even bigger boost! A beach walk AND Hotshots?! Oh PLEASE release this soon!!!!

Scott Guy

Well, with Yvette's 2nd beach walk appt and Alice's workout yoga scenes being all that's left, can we hope for a release by the end of October now? Please? Huh? Pretty please? With sugar on top (and as a diabetic, I shouldn't add the sugar)?

Bertholdt Starkarm

So good to read from you again ^^ Hope your arm gets better :-)

fosfo

How can I download it in Spanish?

Scott Guy

You mentioned with Amy's masturbation scene that the moaning didn't stop and would be fixed in 5.0.1. I've also noticed that the shower water sound doesn't end until the scene is finished as well. Just pointing it out. Doesn't really bother me at all.

Scott Guy

How is Daniela being implemented into the new version? Seeing that she'll be playing Hotshots (REALLY can't wait for that!) and getting a walk along the beach, will she be one we can add to the choices of Island girls? I'm curious to see how this plays out!

HaggardPunk

PLEASE!!! More Ivy scenes.

darkhound1

It will all be event based. You walk into the bar and Joy and Daniela are chatting. Similar for the beach scenes. If you have advanced the story far enough and you relax at the beach, Daniela will just show up. I will probably add other options to initiate the scenes later. Like for example ask her for a date or something similar.

Scott Guy

So these are going to be one-offs for now? Have to say that's disappointing if it's true. I was hoping she'd become more regular at least at the bar. Considering I'm on Day 713 right now, I hope I've advanced the story enough! LOL

Scott Guy

Looks like you got Alice's update finished good sir! Does that mean we'll be getting the update within the next 2 weeks? I REALLY hope that is what it means! I've had to re-order my supply of oxygen 3 times already this year! LOL

darkhound1

Sorry, I will try to add it soon after the release of the next update. I don't want to delay the update any more. You all have been waiting too long already.

darkhound1

The events are repeatable already. Just always triggered automatically.

darkhound1

Yes. I'm really in the last phase right now.

Scott Guy

Oh thank you my Lord! That is so much better than something like screwing up MC's ankle and only getting to see it once, unless we go through it again on our phones (which I do quite often LOL)! This puts a genuine smile on my face and heart!

Scott Guy

If you need some help with it, I gladly volunteer!

Scott Guy

I noticed in the list that Aly's costume scene will be getting some new animation in this version. Just curious if/when we'll finally get the big date with her for some intimacy that is LONG overdue IMO. Please?

Steinman

For some reason H.I. 0.5.0.0. will not let me win at poker, with anyone. It seemed to happen all at once. Anyone else experiencing this?

Bantry

No, and I haven't heard of any issues, but I must ask ... Have you installed the Bugfix/update to v.0.5.0.1?

Alfa Béta

"pre beta has been released for testing (11th of october)" What is this mean? Preleased for who? I'm a basic supporter only, that mean I cannot download now only in a future date?

Fabrix Dante

Finally I was waiting for Daniela since I met at her at the lab. she's outstanding. Thanks

Vitex

When is the new update coming out?

Scott Guy

PLEASE tell me we are a week away (if less) from Paradise!! I am REALLY hoping that the new Daniela material will be repeatable on a regularly scheduled basis in the game. Otherwise, I'll be on my game phone replaying them VERY often! LOL

Scott Guy

Pre beta testing means it's going through the proofreading process, looking for typos or any kind of bugs. The initial release SHOULD (please note how hard I emphasized that word) be within a couple weeks. I have no control over any of the release info. I am just going by the history of the game's releases. Please refer anymore questions directly to the admins. I'm only trying to help as I've played since 1.3! LOL

Alfa Béta

Hello Scott. Thank you for the help effort. I understand now.

Ze

Any Ideas when the 0.5.2 will be released?

Scott Guy

Whoever is doing the beta testing, please know your work is greatly appreciated. I hope it doesn't take much longer for it to be ready.

Vitex

When release?

Scott Guy

Not that I'm anxious or anything, but I've been checking my email almost hourly for the last 3 days hoping to hear that 5.2 is released. PLEASE, beta testers, HURRY UP!!! My heart can't take the waiting much longer!!!

Scott Guy

Just curious how long is "normal" for beta testing before releasing the new version? It's been 10 days now, which to me seems a bit too long. In the past, IIRC, it's only needed at most a week. I am genuinely curious as to the average length of "normal" time it takes.

Dan-0

I saw that pre-beta has started, exciting times. About how long do you estimate on a release date? And one other question Darkhound have you thought about bringing back the monthly high rez renders? I do enjoy using them for wallpapers on my home screen

darkhound1

It takes longer this time, "normal" is about a week or a little shorter. It's almost done now though. Public release probably on the week end.

Scott Guy

Thank you my good Lord Darkhound for responding. I thought this beta seemed a little longer than in the past. I'm not sure I'll be able to hold my breath for 2 more days though! LOL :-)

Scott Guy

*LOOOONG EXHALE, ENORMOUS INHALE!* WHEW!!! Thank you Lord Darkhound!! With this new update, I can finally breathe again! LMAO Sincerely, thank you SO much for ALL your hard work and dedication to your project that we all love so much!!! I know how I'm going to be spending the next week now! LOL

Muad3D

Nice to see an update after such a long wait, but disappointed by the AI Joy sexting images. This game was one of the few not falling into using AI. I can only hope you reconsider. Your art and craft is already very strong and worthwhile without AI, there is no need to mix it in, for any reason.
