Femdom game dev + deadlines = Error 404
The art of the unreleased woman hopefully in fur on the update page is wonderful. I hope there is some shoe stuff in this update. Is there much in the base game? I haven't found any but haven't played much.

I've already written a wall of text in ANLIS so I'll keep this much shorter. (As if I could do that...)
Thanks for including multiple fetishes in your game while still focusing on a specific one, Zen. The community really appreciates this kind of stuff and those polls are a good idea even for aspiring RPG Maker users or game modders.
I'll draw some obvious pushback but really enjoyed Yumeko. And not just because she farts in the PC's face or is a mature woman/OL (office lady) type; such characters are like people, unless the character design is shallow and their dialogue is poorly written, there is way more to them than just fetishes and stereotypes.
Please take your time and try to remain passionate about what you do. It's all that matters. I can't stress this enough; so many creators have fallen for this it's depressing and it can even be seen in their new works when you compare it to their older ones. The new ones are just the same thing over and over again with no soul - and a good bunch of it comes from losing motivation.
This is especially true for creators who do commissions so please make sure you also enjoy working on them even if you get paid for them. Part of the reason I don't request or commission anything is because I don't want the artist to be influenced and force themselves to draw something they won't like working on, even if it's not part of their "don'ts".
I'd have to go through the entire game again to see if I can come up with technical feedback, but last time I checked (literally two days ago), the main issue would be the UI bloat from the plugins - not the easiest to tackle aside from disabling all plugins you don't need, though. Basically, I'd say just keep the PC stats that are used in-game (experience, toughness, cleanliness, etc.) and drop stuff like the portrait, HP/MP/TP, status resistances, base RPG Maker stats or even the equipment and skills since Black Rose Hotel reads like a visual novel (might actually want to consider Ren'py or something similar; you'd have a lot less headaches unless you're much more comfortable sticking with RMMV/RMMZ or don't want to have anything to do with Python, which is understandable - working with Ren'py and RPG Maker are two completely different experiences, even though you can have lots offrustration fun trying to make a decent VN with RPG Maker or a RPG with Ren'py).
Many users actually forget they can already do that themselves in the

Aside from this, maybe more interactivity so the player doesn't feel too passive during scenes, but not too much either as handling too many choice combinations can significantly add up to the workload and deviate from the original workflow (usually something simple and straightforward if the project is meant to showcase ideas; a draft is ideal for this and the developer can come back to it and follow through so the main elements are finished and they don't have to worry about leaving them on hold while working on others in parallel).
Many apologies if this is something that would be better off in game development - other users might want to try things out and learn more about the process, especially when it's readily available to people who aren't tech-savvy at all.

/www/js/ folder - please always backup your data+js folders before even running a game, some plugins can overwrite the original files and will do so without warning, and you definitely want to be able to undo changes to any file you plan to modify yourself!0) Save your progress and close the game if it is running.
1) Find the
plugins.js file in the folder mentioned above. Read the comment on top as a disclaimer, don't take it literally. Edit it with a text editor, preferrably with JavaScript highlighting, and even a JSON parser/beautifier to make the variable declaration more intuitive.2) Disable plugins you don't need in the game or plugins that are messing with your game experience/overall game performance. This can be done by changing the value of the
status key to false instead of true. If troubleshooting or if unsure, make sure you only disable/enable one plugin at a time so you can easily see the changes to the game.3) After making sure you have a proper backup, save changes to the

do you umm uhh have a link to download it? I have no intention of giving him 20$ for the new version when I was subscribed for months after months with no updates whatsoever. I’d like to try it and if the new content is good enough only then resubscribe.
Hey Zenkuro, I'm very grateful for your work, not only your Art is top tier but also I like how you write the story, especially ANLIS. While some people get mad at your working ethics, I'm just happy to get a chance to play a new version eventually, just like the last one, I will buy it for 10€ anything else is beyond my financial ability! Don't get discouraged by angry comments!

I understand not everyone has the ability to support, so rest assured, I'll continue to post every single update here.
I just need you guys to be patient for a couple of weeks please, as the early support really does make a difference.

Totally understand and that is fair. To be honest I encourage developers to put a price on their work always. And I am paying subscriptions to multiple (bowei, numericgazer etc.). And even bowei with the horrible delays and all that feels worth it. We definitely do not want you to feel discouraged or anything when seeing that people are frustrated with the lack of communication (cause that is what the problem is, it's not about things moving slow or fast, it's about communicating regularly and providing updates. numericgazer did not release anything new for a whole month but at the end of may he still updated everyone on the progress, so whether the progress is tangible or not, it is still there). We just (or I, personally) would be glad to pay consistently as long as we at least know where the money is going. Cause not communicating for months straight makes people wonder if it was your last post or not. Keeping a constant schedule builds up the trust and discipline needed for people to be comfortable with paying monthly even though you aren't maybe putting out updates every month.
Idk i rambled too much, just thought that it would help because I'd hate to see black rose hotel get dropped like ANLIS, so making a sustainable schedule and communicating with the community should definitely be top priorities. Afterall, I'm sure if you made close to $5k/mo or whatever bowei is making, you'd be putting in even more resources. And since the community 'dictates' your income, I'd try to keep a good relationship with them.

I just finished playing the new update.
TLDR: It was okay.
The art is absolutely fantastic. Mind-blowing work by King Zenkuro as usual.
However, the game overall feels a lot less focused than ANLIS, due to catering to too many kinks at once, and because of that it ends up feeling a lot less satisfying for each individual kink.
If you're in this for the foot fetish, be warned: there's only, like, 3-4 barefoot scenes.
A large portion of the foot fetish scenes consists of nylon scenes,
And then you'll be seeing a lot of farting and unrelated kinks for the rest of the time.
Is it a bad game? Not at all, considering the filth that permeates this website, especially when it comes to femdom/foot fetish games, this is a really high-quality game.
Is it worse than ANLIS? Unfortunately, this is much worse than ANLIS, but that's understandable, because most games are much worse than ANLIS.
My advice for Zenkuro: Finish the masterpiece you started. Finish ANLIS. Seriously, you're underestimating how good your own work is. It doesn't deserve to be abandoned.

Damn, nice art and situations. The female characters have great proportions, I like the gentle mommy more (personal taste here, it's hard to choose anyway). The main character isn't a faceless man which is also cool.
There are only a couple of possible critiques I could make:
1) I wish all scenes were animated and looped maybe to save on animation frames rather than having 1 every 4-5 events with pictures, but I understand that it takes time so this is more like an ideal situation rather than a real critique.
2) There is a lot of potential to make the routine of the MC fun to go through, for example upon training, taking a shower and sleeping you could trigger different scenes. I was legitimately waiting for a surprise moment in the shower but it never arrived, I was waiting for a surprise moment during the bench press (for example the blonde bitch surprises the MC and sits on his dick) but it never arrived.
This game is really well made, it would be a waste in my opinion to make it a painful routine with only 1 obvious reward that comes after knocking on a door.

Help, I cannot enter the bar. Also even though I have all the criteria (toughness 9, submission 2) I am not able to trigger yumeko's scene.
