After playing this update and keeping in mind DarkBlue personal issues, I think it would be wise to cut the daughters from the romance side of the vn. Emma has plenty of screen time with the MC but sex is not present at all. Whatshername has no screen time, no point in wasting any development time there. Lucy and Charlie are the ones with some romantic shit involved, just focus on moving forward the main story and make one ending for each of them, The End.
Being honest I would scrap any sex bit present in the game and sell it on Steam as a non-sex vn at this point.

In my view, the update was nothing out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, it only has a few good moments. The storytelling is very good as always, but nothing came of it. No scene with Charlotte that did anything useful to advance the story between them. Sure the little teasing from her was okay. I hope we see something more in the second half.

As long as no "abandoned" marker is attached to this thread, we are in the "green" area.

And as the saying goes: hope dies last!

I would also suggest adding "Beta" to the name of the thread. The dev himself wrote that the first half of v0.15 is not final.

-lack of musical accompaniment
-lack of player interaction options
-and in some scenes there is still a lack of attention to detail

Can't believe I waited all this time for basically nothing. This game has been going on for roughly 3 years ( i think ) and there has been 2 kisses and a few boobs.
Dissapointing is what it is. For all of you who will say "it a slow burn yada yada" there is nothing burning,there is not even smoke or embers. I had more fun on a recent law exam than playing this game

Looks like dev surely has hit the creative block cuz the update was lame and boring. The story progression and character development slowed down so much. Also if it was v0.15 half, then when will the other half come, on Christmas ?

It's better if he takes time off to figure things out be it his personal life and then decide how he wants the game to progress.

Take heart and be of good cheer, it's been "lame and boring" for a few years.

I see some trolls have slithered into the thread today. Hopefully they'll leave soon and leave us true fans alone to appreciate this game for what it is.

Unfortunately, such ignorant people always come out of the holes and have no idea. In this case (Charlotte) they have never had the "pleasure" of meeting such a person who has been physically, mentally or emotionally abused. They also have no idea how difficult it is for them (if at all) to get back to life. They don't understand that this sensitive topic is hushed up in many parts of the world and that this is the only way "Hillside" can be told.

I don't like it myself, since I prefer to progress at different speeds depending on the scene, but some people seem to like it. You can't treat them the same way as Ctrl/Tab fast forward story skippers.

well on many games autoskipping is disabled.

Made a compressed Android port of Hillside v0.15 with KoGa3's multi-mod.

Got some basic gestures loaded in: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip. Save files are now stored in the Documents folder. This sometimes means that you may need to close and re-open the port after installing so the save folder is properly created.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the port and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.

well ,,yeah .. faster than light would be going back in time .. therefore loosing time (y)
Click to expand...
Since time itself is neither "tight" nor "loose" as per the definitions...
Nah.
Lose isn't loose.
BUT, a beam can be tight or loose, as in laser on one end and light through a reducing lens on the other...
So, in spirit i guess it can be called loosening up light... so it can be loose light but YOU can never loose light, just loosen it.
(Language lesson of the day i guess?)

tl;dr: Loose means the opposite of tight, not lose as in losing something.
