Holiday Island 0.5.0.0 has been released
Added 2025-04-13 08:58:12 +0000 UTC
Hello guys and gals,
beta testing for 0.5.0.0 has been finished and the new version is available for everyone now.
The update from 0.4.5.0 to 0.5.0.0 has 1043 new renders, videos and sound files, 153 updated renders and 20 new backgrounds for the new phone.
All of the new stuff is in "webp" format and at least 2560x1440 resolution, which reduces space and increases image quality at the same time.
To see what's new, please check out the development news post for 0.5.0.0:

Save games from 0.0.8 alpha and later versions should still be working. Older saves are no longer supported.

Please also get the quick fix file from this post (I'm very sorry about that):

For all of you that get crashes as soon as you click on preferences or load, please manually add an empty text file in the HI sub folder "game".
Name the file: "use_fixed_resolution_720.txt"
What it will do is the following:
It will remove the resolution options and also the auto window scaling. After you have applied the patch, you will also be able to manually scale the game window again (e.g. maximizing it).
Happy playing!

Darkhound, you are a stone genius. How on earth do you keep all this in your head?!? Have you considered adding something to make the player more... well, aggressive? Sure, the player make make dates and maneuver to have the fun, but how about something a little more, well, direct? Something like:
"Ask her if she wants to have sex" if char1.lust == 100 and char1.rsm[0].affection == 100
$char1.bangme == True # bangme is a supposed attribute, which might also be used for girls' come-ons
char1.talk "follow me hot stuff"
player.location1 = char1.fname + "_room" # we both go to her room. Huzzah!
char1.location1 = char1.fname + "_room"
call wumpha_wumpha_wumpha # (not done in this example, or the code would be, I suspect, immense)
player.change_endurance(-30)
player.change_lust(-40)
else # you make a move that is decidely not appropriate
char1.talk "Get stuffed you asshole!",
char1.rsm[0].angry = 100 # well, this is going to take some fixing
char1.location1 = char1.fname + "_room"
jump talk_others_menu # presuming there is anyone left to talk to
... in a much more elegnant coding, of course :-)

Very good game. I hope there will be more stories about the muscular girls soon (like we can test Joy strength, armwrestling between Miriam, Mercedes and Ivy or Sara take more of the capsule) . Thank you for your work!

How does one insert an image into the wall picture frame in the player's hotel room?

I'm not sure what you expected. It's not a new game. All the new and updated scenes are in the development news. Everything else hasn't been touched.
Darkhound

I'm working on it. Won't be long now.

Any update on Android launch?

Same here. I hope improvements were made on the UI. The buttons on the screen are really small. Either way, I'm looking forward to the Android update.

Maybe it's just me, but I find 5.1.0 very BORING ... most scenes repeated with no changes, same "drinks" conversations, nobody is getting laid despite many opportunities, etc.. What am I doing wrong?

It's the same mod that's been used for a very long time. Just add it to this new version.

Wow. Just...wow. This is why we are all here. This release...is...unbefuckinglievable! Wow. I don't want to say anything spoilerish, so I'll just say that the lady I just spent the night with has been haunting my dreams since I first laid eyes on her, and now....just...wow. Well done, my friend. *VERY* well done. *sigh*
