V9 Update 6
bugs fixed:
german girl Sara not appearing on the public beach tanning herself in the sun in V9U5, the mc could never introduce himself, this resulted in never being able to follow Sara to the hotel when she runs on the beach in the evening (unless the mc knew Sara from an older savegame)exception quest journal, temporary disabled character images in sympathy quests due to workaround failing to update the image-path in old cheated savegamesexception when using the speed control button on multiple animation screensexception when using the computer search without a search termV9 Update 5
computer browser sites are now working:➤Search: To full some future quests it will be necessary to use the search. Clues for search terms will be given.➤Mail: I’m sure you would never read mails of other characters and you respect their privacy! Am I right?➤Bank: The mc can now deposit money in his bank account and get 1% interest per day. However the evil bank will keep the interest fractions behind the decimal place. A balance of 99 $ will generate 0 $! The game starts with 100 $ in the mc’s account to generate 1 $ per day.➤GSN!: The ‘Get Stuff NOW !’ online store can now be used to order items.Lisa photo outfit addedPamela two photo outfits addedadded blood to KFC minigameaccessing a computer now:➤blocks the rollback to prevent accidental rollbacks when using the mousewheel to scroll in a viewports➤locks the UI to hide the map- and houseglass-button for more screenspace and to disable hotkeyssome characters appearing on the beach are now randomized per hour, not daily.

-Added cheats to the quick menu in the lower right corner
-Fixed patch.rpa having the wrong photos packed for Emily
v9 Update 3
Update 3 includes previous Updates. It is not necessary to install them in order.
-added Josie swimsuit photo outfit
-the player can now snoop around on computers with the correct password:
[*]Meagan’s computer at home (browser-sites are unfinished, everything else works)
[*]computer in the prison cell office
-the japanese woman can appear randomly on the public beach and in the massage studio
-bugfix for the pre-Quest ‘Smile please’ the game will now always select the correct bikini-outfit for Emily instead of whatever was at index zero in the outfit-bag
-unlocking photo-outfits now requires the quest ‘Smile please’ to be fulld, otherwise the player could run to the boutique during the pre-quest and pick another outfit/girl and the quest to bring Jenni photos of Emily makes no sense
-every audio file is now mapped to a definition in the audio-namespace to allow fast changes globally
V9 Update 2
Keep in mind that in all dream-scenes the girls are “out-of-character”. They are like fantasies of the main character.
Some players have pointed out the game currently has the problem that dialogues can only be started at specific locations. This makes sense for dialogues with graphics for a location, but not for a generic chat. I fullly agree and I’m planning to change this with a major update. Making theses changes now would break savegame-compatibility. In case a dialogue is only available at one location there should be a hint. For example: the photographer pre-quest requires the player to talk with Emily on the Beach. If she is not there the player should have the option to ask her for photos no matter where she is.
For V9 I will continue to add mostly ‘side-content’ like the dreams and photo outfits. I avoid adding ‘open-world’ content like the NPC-activities due to potential upcoming changes with the next major version. The game may need a better logic-system like finite state machines to keep things organized in the future.
Changes:
TLDR: Update with mostly Tracy content, UI-changes, fixes

V9
REQUIRES to start a new game, this will be the base-version for a while followed by smaller and faster updates
main story introduces the last main-character on day 10+
photographer job:
-offered by Jennifer in the boutique
-requires pre-quest “Smile please” to unlock
-unlocks photo beach
-3 photo-outfits available: Emily, Sara, Scarlett
-allows one daily photo-shooting per day from 10:00 (boutique opens to pick outfit) to 19:00 (20:00 sunset on photo beach)
restaurant job:
-to unlock it the player must talk to Emily when she is in the restaurant kitchen, also dirty dishes must be cleaned before to make some room on the kitchen table
Meagan/Tracy: if the player is under the effect of green pills (zZ icon) he can dream about girls
important decisions are now marked in purple, explanation also added to tutorial
daily routine and content for Meagan and Emily around the house is unchanged, except Emily will now visit the public beach 1 hour per day for the photographer pre-quest
Pamela: it’s no longer required to talk to her on the beach to see her in the massage studio
Meagan/Emily: day 6+ added moneytalk scene, unlocks the ladder in the livingroom, notification for daily payment and sympathy changes (blue book is not in the game yet and the computer is not usable)
character images added to sympathy quests
to make savegames more compatible during development the questlog now supports adding and updating quests over multiple game-versions, internally each quest has its own version, if an old quest-version gets detected the quest will be replaced and reset, quest-versions are visible in the lower right corner of the questlog and will all start with “1” in V9
removed all money cheats
slightly increased chance to spawn spider
events of the main story will now trigger after some ingame time has passed and the mc moved to the right location, Michael K. is no longer triggered by using Meagans phone on the kitchen table
temporary disabled credits screen to avoid confusion about the game ending at that point
KNOWN BUGS:
Jess and Scarlett are hardcoded to sit forever in the restaurant with an unfinished dialogue
while taking photos: vignette is displayed incorrect, should always be between background and UI, H-key/mousewheel not working correctly
certain events can break the space time continuum and make characters magically appear in multiple places at once (photoshoots, moneytalk scene near computer at home)
v8
Josie now watches over the beach again from 10:00-14:00 so that the Baywatch-quest can be fulldreplaced the the old clubadded support for small script fixes to avoid large updates for tiny evil bugsfixed two minor bugs related to the generated cash/outfit-menuv7
This is basically only with a few minor fixes and quality-of-life changes for the public. For V6 players there is no new content.
fixed choice menu being displayed over dialogue text during intromoved sympathy check notification slightly higher so it does not show at the same place where a quest notifications pop upthe boutique elevator music now stop when leaving the store during the introadded hint for hotkey 2 when the map gets unlockedquest tracker should no longer reset by saving/loading a gamewhile creating a new character (Jess) for the club I got so annoyed by the lighting problems with that place that I decided to trash this place and create a better one, an old version of Jess is still in the old club in V7 but will be replacedto improve controls when playing with keyboard/gamepad only, the ability to keyboard-focus these UI elements was disabled:-top left textbutton for cash and time-hourglass imagebutton, except on the map, has key 1-quest journal imagebutton, except on the map, has key Q-compass imagebutton, except on the map, has key 2-quest tracker close-buttonkitchen shopping list event: fixed RNG to no longer generate the text “I count 1 eggs.”reduced file size by replacing some lossless compressed backgrounds with lossy compressed versionsre-rendered house hallway to fix bad textures/qualityupdated license.txt:-added clear distinction between game code- and asset-license-corrected a wrong license link from (CC BY 4.0) to (CC BY-NC 4.0)-added missing attribution for phone prop by amyaimeiv6
added sympathy-check notifications to let players know when they potentially miss alternative dialoguesadded Massage Studio Nuru-part for Lisafinished Massage Studio Nuru-part for Pamelaa transparent/white glass progress bar was added for the Nuru-content to indicate how ‘horny’ the girl isIvan now watches over the Massage Studio after a Nuru massageIvan beating up the player will now drain all his energyfix: wrong saturation in some Lisa side images, also added more emotions for herfix: re-rendered and replaced Gordons overexposed side imagesfix: Hotkey 2 for the map is no longer usable to teleport out of a dialoguemodified pov scene in the changing room to use the new animation screenAll savegames from V4 and V5 should still work except:
savegames from V5 during Pamelas Nuru massage trigger an exception because a variable-name changedsavegames made during the animated pov scene in the changing roomv4
concerning save-game compatibility:
I know that incompatible save-games suck. But it’s way to early do deal with that. There are still fundamental changes happening in the scripts. It would be a waste of very precious development time to maintain this.
To keep the ‘cheese with that whine’ at a minimum I’ve:
added the option the skip the long intro, this basically fakes perfectly played intro.added downloadable save-games from my own test-play as promised beforeAlso I believe some players are not familiar with the Ren’Py-skip feature. I’ve added a explanation to the tutorial because of that.
[FIXED]:
questlog: fulld collection-quests caused an exception if another item was found after completing the quest, sympathy technically counts as ‘item’map: music-/ambient-sound now stops if player teleports to silent rooms inside the girls house[KNOWN BUGS]:
using the skip intro option will not show the compass on the initial location, workaround: move to other locationcosmetic: tooltip-text from imagebuttons will sometimes not disappear because they’re not being ‘unhovered’cosmetic: when delivering ‘Slurm’ to Meagans watch tower at night the cooling box is invisible, found that one after the V4 upload fulld, to late [CHANGES]:
Way to many … I’ll maybe add this later, running backup rights now and my change-notes are somewhat chaotic, also spoiler risk.v3
Focus on the new locations: The restaurant for Emily and the public beach for Meagan, I intent to add some introduction later instead of just unlocking them
Old time-system is gone
Rollback is enabled
Public beach has 6 side characters: Tracy, Sara, Josie, Pamela, Lisa, Scarlett (redhead)
New quest: Baywatch
Quests have colored text now to show whether they can be fulld
Don’t waste time talking with the main characters in the house, this is unfinished
Known bug: during dialog-transitions the map- and hourglass-button should not be visible/usable
Thumbnails where added to the map temporary to make it easier to move while the game is in an early version, it is to early to build an island map
v2
Since I am about to remove the ‘continuum transfunctioner’-device from the game again to replace it I’ve decided to release this as V2.
I want to get the game-mechanic right before I add more content and that time-system did not very well in my opinion. So I guess this will be the only version with the device.
Also while squashing bugs and reorganizing scripts I noticed a unused nude image with Meagan and Emily for the boat-intro. So that was added.
Initial Release:
Episode 1 V1 – Holiday Islands does not follow the classic V0.01 – V1.00 alpha/beta/release-version-scheme. The version simply increases with each update.

Dataminers: please be so fair and don’t post story spoiler when you dig around in my files. The game uses overlays a lot and CG-art therefore cannot be ripped like in other games.
