All speculation and off tops are irrelevant, the important thing is the specific date, WHEN is the key question? Ren'Py Holiday Island [v0.4.5.1] [darkhound1]
- Thread starter Pepé Le Pew
- Start date
All speculation and off tops are irrelevant, the important thing is the specific date, WHEN is the key question? I thank you for your answer but i probably should have mentioned that i only started one playthrough and went on to day 7 and thats all... So I assume that I do not know the game enough to fully understand your answer.If you need to have a count of it, read the companion guide and make yourself some list or whatever. You'll need Faye to unlock the gym shower, and different girls are needed during Joy's questline. I'd guess that Yvette, Jessica, Alice and Amy have about the most achievements to unlock, haven't played in a while though. Every girl is worth having imo.
EDIT: I forgot to mention Alice! Now I feel bad.
So there is no clear answer as to who you should choose at the start? Because some girls are needed to trigger events even though they (the needed girls) may not have sex scenes themselves?
The amount of achievements correlates to the amount of sex scnees?
Or are you saying to have access to the most sex scenes you should have Yvette, Jessica, Alice and Amy in your run?
(Even though you do not have access to the gym shower because Faye might not there?)
I guess I really might have to read the guide but I am afraid I will be spoiled a lot more than just knowing the number of sex scenes of the girls.
Anyways thanks again for your time.
I haven't read the guide, so I can't comment on what would be spoiled, but to answer the rest of what you're asking, there are a few things to note.
I'll start by saying that I play games for the stories, so the sex scene component isn't important to me. There's a decent amount of per-character storytelling, some of it is now well interwoven with other characters, and everything is well gated, so progression is smooth and things don't come out of order. The main story is still pretty light, but when you factor in all of the things going on with the girls, there's enough story to get a good read.
In terms of sex scenes, if that's why you're here, there are a lot. Many of them can be repeated through random events, but some don't repeat. There's no gallery that I'm aware of, so once those are done, you'd either need to load a save, or start a new run to see them again. Many of the one-shot scenes do share renders with later scenes (so they kind of repeat), but I don't know if that's going to be a long term goal. In terms of people like Jennifer, some of her scenes don't repeat at all yet; Amy, without spoiling it, has an event where the renders are re-used after a main story event is done. It's possible that we'll get everything 'sort of repeating' at some point, but, as I said, I'm not really here for the sex scenes, so other than them being needed for quests, I typically didn't push myself to repeat them.
You can skip a lot of repeatable sex scenes by turning down invitations. If you turn down, rather than don't show up, there's no penalty (that I'm aware of at least). So, if you're like me, and are more interested in progressing a story, or progressing the story of a given girl, then you can typically turn them down. But if you get a message inviting you to do something, check your quest log before you turn it down, because it may be that you're being invited to progress a quest!
It doesn't matter who starts on the island. There are a limited number of slots (unless you use a console command to change it), meaning that only a certain number of girls are there at once, but, other than a few staff members who turn up over time (or in response to events being finished), you have access to the pool and can change them out (the staff stay and you can't send them away; they don't occupy slots). You can talk to reception, and use Company Favour/Credit to invite or remove girls. You need to send Yvette away as part of her main story/quest, and then bring her back, so even if you change the maximum resident value, you'll be using it.
You do get a unique scene from the 'girl on the plane', and a second unique scene. I don't think there's any lore there of value there, nor story related content. It does make that person easier to start with, and progress through their main story/quest as a result. You can only have one girl in that position per run, so if those scenes really matter to you, you'll have to start a bunch of runs.
The game progression is very well done, and it's heavily gated. But other than that, it doesn't matter who you start with, because everyone is always available (you just may or may not have them on the island). This can be a bit of a pain at times, but it's not too bad.
You need to complete certain quests with certain girls to progress through certain areas (the sauna and access to Sarah come to mind). You can either mod the total resident count (which makes some scenes really hard to get) or you can invite/return as needed. If you don't like a girl, you can send her away. Staff stay on the island, but generally don't block 'need to be alone' events (they'll generally 'step away' as part of the event, or before it starts, after you attempt to do it).
If you get stuck, you'll either need to struggle through working out what's next, or use the guide. I didn't need the guide to work it out, but if you're not paying attention to what people say to you, the quest log may not be enough.
The game uses random generation in a lot of places, so saves and rollbacks can be good (I don't know if you need unren for it). If you want to rollback at all, make sure you don't use URM, as it prevents it. Because it's renpy, I don't think the random number generator changes on rollback, but loading does change it. Chances are it won't matter most of the time, but some low odds events are a huge pain. You can use the console to force certain events (e.g. removing the shower sign on the door after you see it, and/or forcing success for certain rolls).

I will add this note. If you stick with the first part of the Guide you will learn a great deal about the 'mechanics' of the game. Your phone in the game has hints and requirements along with info on what stats are needed. How to access them and their meaning is in the first part of the Guide.
Spoilerland, at the back of the Guide is like a walkthrough on how to complete the achievements for each girl. Not really needed IMO, but maybe that's just me.

Hi friend, I don't think it's a stupid question you asked, but I do think you didn't pay much attention.
At the beginning of the game when Joy gives you the laptop to choose the girls, she explains the different tiers and there she says that the Unique girls are the ones with the most content, followed by the Main group, then the Regular girls and finally the Side girls.
And this is the reason why it's useless to ask for the saves.
I recommend you choose according to your tastes without paying attention to how much content the girls have, because at the end, to unlock all the content you will need all the girls to leave and come back, so choose the ones you like the most and enjoy the game.
Ok Thank you all very very much for the replies I need to think about all that xD
The reason I started to ask here is because I more or less blindly picked Aly as the girl on the plane, got teased by her for 7 days only to then find out that not a single sex scene with her exists apparently (and since I am here for that this was a major letdown...)

Yes I am starting to realise that now thank you xD

Okay, one might say you picked kinda unlucky because Aly is, if I remember correctly, pretty much the only girl that doesn't give you actual intercourse yet, which seems to be what you're looking for. At least among the interchangeable, non-staff girls.
But as others have mentioned, it doesn't really matter much. You're not limited to only some girls for a playthrough, you can (and should) have them all - they only won't fit on the island all at the same time.
Regarding achievements, they include sex scenes, but aren't limited to those. In your phone, you will find achievements for each girl. That's the closest this game has to a gallery, it will only replay the renders of the scenes, no text. So, more of a slideshow really.
So, you have your main game interface where you're roaming the different places on the island and choose different interactions with the girls. All those 'cinematic' (lacking a better word for it, English is not my native language) interaction scenes will equal some achievement where you can replay the renders.
As I said, Yvette, Jessica, Amy and Alice have about the most achievements iirc, so generally most content. That doesn't necessarily mean most sex scenes, but it works as a reference point. Still, unlocking those achievements is usually tied to reaching certain stats with the girls first. There might be another girl that requires less overall stats to get to a sex scene earlier. I don't really pay attention to those requirements as I tend to just max out all stats via the companion mod and be done with it, so I wouldn't know.
Progress can feel slow at the start of the game, especially when it's the first time you're playing and you don't really know what to do first. Some mechanics only get unlocked after a few days, inviting girls to the island for example. I believe Mercedes and Miriam, two of the staff girls, only show up around day 20 or so. You'll have to bear with that.
To get going, you'll want to train up your stats (charm, looks, strength, endurance, sneakiness) and those of the girls (affection, love, lust) to unlock achievements. If you wanna speed up that process, do as I do and use the companion mod. I'd advise to only raise your own stats to one point below max level via mod and get the last points by actual training, because I had trouble with that in the past, though it might be fixed by now. Also, you won't be able to raise Amy's stat maximums with the mod, you'll have to progress through her questline for that.
As I already said, try to get Faye early to unlock the gym shower and the sauna, otherwise just choose the girls that attract you the most first. You can get quests from the doctor (one at a time) to get access to implant data for all girls currently on the island, get all of them. When you have a girl's implant data, use your phone app to hack it to get more info on the girls.
I thought this is supposed to be an anonymous online forum??
I have asked a question and received multiple, very detailed and helpful answers without being ridiculed by anyone.
This doesn't feel right to me without at least a few insults and unhelpful comments...
(Kidding of course and for the 4th time: thank you all very much)

At least some people have to be doing it on purpose at this point. Also, thats a great reaction pic, saved.

I agree. I think that people asking for Holiday Island save files/full saves fall into three categories or groups:
1) People who are just looking for a shortcut to unlocking the game's scenes and content, who are ignorant to the fact that that approach doesn't work the way they expect it to, and who haven't done their homework to find that out. I think this is the largest group, representing about 50% of full save requests.
2) Trolls, who were either previously part of the first group or are very aware of it, and who get their kicks from trying to trigger the long-time members of the Holiday Island game thread community and get a rise out of them/us; it may also be a way of protesting the fact that other people's save files don't magically unlock scenes and content. I estimate this accounts for about 40% of Holiday Island save file requests.
3) "Smart-asses" (
) who post "full save" requests as a parody of the first two groups and the typical response they get here. The existence, persistence, and predictability of the first two groups motivates this third group to create these posts for (hopefully) humorous effect. I'm an occasional member of this third group (and I'm looking at you, 882036). This group would be the remaining approximately 10%.Thanks!
True confession time: I have a folder/directory on my computer labeled "FORUM IMAGES", where I have a fairly extensive collection of (mostly humorous) image files that I have accumulated and used (or intend to use) on various F95 threads over the years, and I have a sub-directory/folder labeled "That Face You Make" where that reaction pic lives, along with about a dozen others (I really need to get a life...).
