Golden Hours

Your uncle left you everything.
A broken motel. Two hundred dollars. A 1987 Buick. And a cat that has never once sat on anyone's lap in six years.
The neon sign reads GO DEN HO RS OTEL. Room 7's plumbing sounds like a whale having an existential crisis. And a corporation called Kellerman Development has been trying to buy this land for years, and now that Uncle Buck is gone, you're the only thing standing in their way.
You have one year to prove the Golden Hours can survive.
Welcome to Pinewood Hollow. Population 3,200. Population that already knows your name: also 3,200.

when it says A.I assisted dose that mean A.I generated?
In this case, yes. All the graphics are generated.
For everyone with the issue where you have a black screen during sex scenes, just delete the old version of the game entirely of the system and re-install the newest one (0.5.4 as I make this post)
I don't have the old version and it do it for me... I literally just download the game

Will include translations for the next release!
Nice update. Me likes. Dunno if you like feedback. If you do, novel incoming. ;)
- Uncle Buck's letter (when you first enter the lobby) has Riley running the diner and Jade running the coffeeshop.
- The new time of day system is simple and elegant. I like it. You should probably remove all explicit calls to advance_time (except for sleep and wait), though, especially if they're called after use_energy which seems to be always. As it is e.g. doing repair work in the motel in the morning pushes you right into the evening, even though there's still 60 energy left.
- Giving gifts to Summer or Diana is broken. The related section is missing the jumps to the gift labels and the gifted_today flags aren't set either. The actual gift sections are all black.
- After the first time Biscuit isn't shown in the player_room anymore.
- In the evening/night Biscuit doesn't line up with the counter in the lobby.
- Buck's floormat inventory item isn't protected as well as some of the new items.
- There's some duplicate dialogue when entering the coffeeshop.
- The tiered dialogue system is pretty nice. Would be even nicer to have a generic talk as a repeatable option at the end of the tiers if the relationship isn't high enough to advance into the next tier or if you're in the last tier already. Also with the gifts system - which I like - and other options to improve relationsships it's easy to advance to the next tier and miss dialogue. Would be nice if the system showed all dialogue first, before advancing to the next tier. Just something like 'if rel_lou < 15 or lou_t1_seen < 3' in the nav conditions.
- Drinking coffee gives a Riley relationship boost and raises the risk to miss Riley dialogue. Would be better if that only gave energy. Unless you change something so you can't miss dialogue anymore.
- Would be nice if all the gift options in the grocery menu had 'and not has_item("...")' conditions. As it is, you can't tell what items you already have and possibly waste money while not actually buying things. Also buying something should jump back into the item selection and not the main store menu.
- Would be nice if the Sleep action on the map screen would switch to showing the player_room instead of just a black screen.
- The V2 barista minigame adds the ingredients in the wrong order, at least I'd expect to fill a cup from the bottom, not the top. Would also be cool if the ingredients snapped back to their grid after use. Or actually, I'd prefer if the ingredients were just buttons tbh. Also labels or hover effects would be nice on V2 btw. Dunno if people who didn't play V1 and/or aren't in the know about coffee stuffs could e.g. tell milk foam and whipped cream apart. It is a nice minigame in any case, though, beats any of those frigging match 3 games by a mile.
- The Velvet Curtain visits are counted every time when you enter the menu, so entering once, using the available non-naughty options and leaving already counts as 3 visits. Really makes more sense to count in loc_gloryhole instead. Might make sense to differentiate between visiting and actually participating btw.
- A couple type guest checking in with a single name is a bit weird. I've replaced line 303 in the motel_guests file with this snippet. Makes it a little nicer. ;)
$ _partner = "" if _new['type'] == 'couple': $ _partner = _(" and [_random.choice(GUEST_FIRST_NAMES)]") "Checking in: [_new['name']][_partner!i], [_new['desc']]."There must be a bug in the council quest because the sex scene with the pregnant woman appears before the choices. Then, if you say no, the scene reappears, and on the third choice, it doesn't appear at all. So you get the scene twice in a row if you want to avoid it.
Everytime I get to a sex scene the screen is black and it stays black till its over
yea I'm having the same issue : (
same here, i looked on the discord and i haven't gotten a response yet.
same here as well
Try the latest version, that is fixed
still doing it
same here
Please release an android version 🙏🏻
Biscuit is currently destroying the place every morning because he's out of food, but Harriet won't sell me food because I have a bag. How do I fix this?
I think everyone is having this issue, and there isn't a fix yet. Welcome to the joys of early adoption, have a cookie and a seat with the support group.
Oh cool. This is back up, was bummed when it was down. Was there any updates to the game or was the art just changed?
I miss the previous art for the characters :(
Discord link in game no-longer works and you still cant feed cat, other then that fact, Great game, solid 8/10 hope to see more updates soon.
So good for unlocking paywalled content. Doesnt exist on Subscripestar and no other way to sub. (we're out)

Your subscribetar link is bogus.

Cant feed cat biscuit. says the food is empty hes angry and messing up the motel but tells me i have a bag when try to buy one.
same issue. bought food but no way to feed the cat.
The game has been fun however there are some issues. I cant feed the cat and he keeps angry and starting to mess up the hotel, also I can access the link to the subscribestar account, it keeps saying the account doesn't exist. Other than that Ive been enjoying my time in game.
reputation keeps dropping I'm assuming cause the cat is starving and he keeps destroying stuff, game keeps saying i have cat food when i dont and cant buy more.
Having AI Gen content that looks near 1-to-1 with Summertime Saga is genuinely so funny. I'm not even hating, I just took a glance and thought "wow, the bot sure worked hard on that one lol"
and how do you get the key
how do you feed the cat
How do I feed Biscuit? I have the food in my inventory but I can't find the option to feed the cat. Yet the game keeps telling me "feed the cat".
Stuck on the same issue...
Same I feel pretty bad for the cat. But I guess god(the dev) must just really hate the cat.

On subscriber star i cant reach the site why is that?
I need help, I'm stuck here because the narrative text is stuck in an infinite loop.
I don't know if it's a bug, but your subscribestar isn't working also, when is the new update for the game?Pretty good
Sorry about that. I've contacted subscribestar support, I have no idea what's going on myself.
Found some bugs/ minor things, the cat food of course like the others have stated, the last few in game days my rep has started going down, its at -22 right now, cannot keep it positive at all, now because i cannot get ahead of it, it was at over +100. Tommy's garage minigame, the cafe minigame is mostly okay the instructions are mostly straightforward but the toilet crisis in particular doesn't make much sense for the hint. Uncle bucks office does not seem to have anything other than the first dialogue so i cannot progress the story there, and i have no idea what happened to the "mysterious stranger" it says there in either room 7 or room 1 in the quest but they are nowhere to be found. If that is the end of current content no worries just wanted to make sure. Great game so far, on day 39
Okay I put time in it, why does it sound now as if ...
Is there going to be a full public version eventually?, because I don't have much uhm many ways to buy this here in germany without any extra problems.
isn't it like summer time saga copy ? cuz looks almost 1:1
Looks like the ai was "inspired" heavily by it
i was thinking the same thing, summertime saga but with more ai behind the animations
Can I ask whether pregnancy/impregnation be a feature in the game?
How do you feed the cat?
This could've been better if the MC's appearance doesn't look the same as the ones in Summertime Saga. Would have been more refreshing to see a new look of MC who doesn't look average and has looks but still a good game overall
Awesome game! It was about time Summertime Saga had some real competition! Great animations dude
Still good dumbass. Ai's going to be better than real shit in a year or two anyways
The biggest problem I have is the icons in the work mini games are way too small to see read and use on Android not to mention there's no tutorial for either of them other than that I m enjoying the game
1: how do i get the key to bucks room? i feel like ive explored everywhere i can so far
2: problem with feeding biscuit: im on day 12 and it said biscuit has gone through his food, so naturally i went to harriets to get more, but she just says "you already have a bag, one at a time dear, come back when hes eaten through it" and lo and behold the bag is still in my inventory with no way to drop it
1. You have to get Tommy's relationship high. He will tell you he found a key after a certain point.
2. It might be a bug since it's been reported a few times, I'll check and fix it for the next release
Yep, I figured out the key. Even after creating a new save I still could not buy more food, since it forcefully places it in your inventory when you visit Harriet's for the first time.
why does this look so much like a Summertime saga clone art style is the exact same
I mean at this point its been like 3 years and summertime saga is fucking destroyed with the remake with not even a quarter of all the content it previously had so im ready for any game that come close
I hear that. I liked Summertime Saga, and when it got reworked and took a huge chuck of story out. Man that pissed me off. This one looks good as does Edgefield.
Having more cat food in inventory doesn't seem to feed the cat in week 2 (3?). He's just complaining every morning even though I have the food and can't buy more.
It might be a bug, I'll fix it for the nex release!
The game is really good but that zoom is killing me 🤣
Summertime saga 2.0?? This is getting peak🥹✌️
<3
I really enjoyed the game but im stuck like SPOILER ALERT
The Main Story about Buck Maybe that's me but I can't make any progress from part 2 also I don't understand that with guest 1 and how you can interact with him I skipped a lot I say honestly at this point I would like to have some tips or general that you can maybe buy a tip for money on a quest also I lose reputation although I have always got repair kits and feed the cat (also have the pool garden etc), the mini-games at the craftsman and at the café are fun But on smartphone (Samsung) is pretty much zoomed out, which is difficult to understand at first, especially at the beginning
So far a very nice game that I'm waiting for updates
Will there be ntr/sharing/swinging?
There will be no NTR in this game.
