VN Ren'Py Harem Hotel [v0.17.2] [Runey]

[c3p0]

Yeah, I love feedback, and I obviously take criticism. You've been here longer than anyone, you're basically a vet on this site with more posts and likes than even a dev haha so you know what you're talking about. I wasn't born with the ability to make Harem Hotel at my current level, people criticized me along the way and the best thing to do is to take it into to account and consider it. I definitely considered making seperate routes based on how well you did in that game largely due to his voice, in fact I made a whole other UNIVERSE based on the idea that you lost that challenge by the way of The Toymaster. But, after more thought it's not something I want to do. Best I will do is a skip button, or the player could just skip it. I don't expect everyone to like 100% of the events in game.

This discussion reminds me of a similar one in The Deluca Family game, for anyone who hasn't played yet, I can recommend it.
It has a scene in it that a lot of us like and rate it as the best of this game, but also a lot doesn't like it. It's even two version "the full" and a short one, with a warning at the beginning. Yet it comes randomly up, like yours with Cornwall, that is bad, not needed and so on.
Like yours, it is - in my eyes - a needed scence for the plot and character development and if let out, a good deal of the story wouldn't make sense anymore.

Also the dev there has a similare approach to the feedbacks he receive and as he notice it and accept it and change somethings, when he thinks that it will improve the game, but also he stays true to his own vision of the story he want to tell and don't let any feedback change this.

So continue the way your going with this game as your attitude as a dev is another reason why I support you - of course I also like the game.
Also why I usually don't comment of how a story should be told, which event was "bad" or "good". I mostly comment of how I feel and more on the technical side. Commenting a story that isn't finished yet, would be rather a waste.
Would be the same as to criticise the story of a trilogy after the first or the second book/film/game or wathever medium its use.

I like Lin alot already but omg assertive Lin is great. The twins arguing through her and she just tries to help them and yells at their stubbornnness. Great times. 10/10 want Lin to be a boss bitch. I know I see alot of Asia in Lin.....

 

[ElukiaTV]

I havent read much about this spoilers...
But knowing how Lin has managed got get us into trouble (not intentionally)... We are gonna end being one of those election candidates... arent we?
Edit: This was just pure speculation from the two pages i readed here.. im not diving into any more spoilers.

God damn this porn has so much lore.

There is something that really doesn't get played up enough - the implications of how long elves live. One of the things that really doesn't come up in D&D circles is what having a race that can see 2,000 years before they are considered "old" actually means. The night elves in Warcraft are even more nuts with many clocking in at 10,000 years.

The MC and Cornwall are effectively mayflies in terms of lifespan compared to the Elves. That is likely one of the factors behind Jin's attitude - she has seen master after master come and go either by being sold or by the Master dying of old age. Who knows how many "reformer" masters she has seen in her lifespan. In the end she and the system that made her a slave continues on.

Take Lin who is around 370. In our would she could have seen the fall of the Spanish Empire, the rise of the British Empire, rise of the United States, the War of 1812, two World Wars, the fall of the British Empire, the Cold War, the rise and fall of the USSR, and about everything else from c 1650 to 2020. Its like that character "Me" in Doctor Who (the Girl who Died, The Woman Who Lived) who was well on to becoming like the William Hartnell Doctor was like early on - distant and cold.

Even if the Elves get their freedom there is still going to be a lot of work to do changing people's attitudes being one fo the hardest ones.

what is the code to pc of mc room

What code are you looking for? If you're asking how to enter a cheatcode into the PC, then just select the icon that looks like a notepad on the bottom left of the computer screen.

what should i write there

 

[Deleted member 929426]

what should i write there

You should only write something there if you plan on using any of the cheatcodes. There really is no reason to use any of the cheats except for, maybe, "truestory" which changes Felicity and Emma from "clones" to "twins" and adds some extra content between some of the other sisters (i.e., Kali and Lucy).

Or the code for the non-canon character Violet: spinningtv

I was going to mention that, but it's recommended to not use that code until after Autumn has moved in; otherwise, the scenes don't quite make sense.

Even then the escalation of the non-canon content you get with her is way too big a time skip still lol. Im just curious as to why she was even included in it over Emma... but i guess that was the Patreons request. Still i always recommend it to try to others all the same, Jin content is good content and it features a decent amount of Jin content.

 

[DrFree]

Somehow I just thought that "spinningtv" could be a reference to Persona 4. But then again, spinning TVs have been a trope in media since TVs were introduced.

 

[DougsLeftNut]

Summertime Saga always drove me up the walls with its replay it from the freaking beginning with seemingly every update. I really haven't seen that with some of the other games like Superpowered, Deviant Discoveries, or Harem Hotel.

Yes. I'll download the new updates, then see that it will require me to start from scratch every time and just lose interest. At some point you'd think they'd have the programming to a point where that stops, but so far it's apparently still a ridiculous mess.

I totally agree with this, however, you guys know that they give you a save file with everything done except the new content and the events that require you to make a decision that could change the scenes?
They give it right there, on their site. Just download it, put it in your game/saves folder and thats it.
Of course, the new update made that tedious because one of those "decisions that could change scenes" made it so you have to spend a minimum of 2 in-game weeks to access the new content.
That was some bs right there.

 

[Qrow_Branwen]

Does the updates not work on old saves? I updated my mobile version but it's still showing as 8.0 and i dont have any new events

^ That was my thinking, lol. "She literally IS where she came from, dummy". I wonder what it says about me as a person that my kneejerk response to the guy saying that to Lin of all people was to envision the several ways in which I could grab the nearest blunt object and give him a new face love stamp.

That "decisions that could change scenes" effectively defeats the purpose of the save file. More over I really don't like the new simon says set up for the rap battle. I liked the choose the lyric option far better. I am taking it as signs that the mini games (which were reasonable) will turn into hard core nonsense. And the options for turning it off is really non starter with 'you may miss scenes' thing effectively crippling it as a cheat option. Besides with Save Editor Online, unless the programmer tries to "hide" what the variables do, you can cheat in any Renpy game. Of course if you don't know what you are doing you can "break" the save file as well (I have found that to be true with Harem Hotel and so only muck with things I have a good handle on what they do and even then it does really weird stuff).

This is the only part of your comment I don't quite get. Most of the storylines for the girls is lineal, so it makes sense to give a save file with those decisions to make.

Now, I shall turn this thread into an Harem Hotel thread again before we get a warning or something:
Ehem.


Lin best girl.

Thank you for thinking so much about my game! I appreciate how much you've paid attention to the story. I have some comments, but I won't say them because they would be too spoilery, but you'll get some answers in v0.11

I just got tired of seeing it, everytime cornwall was mentioned he brought all of this up again, and each time he does, pages of this thread are filled with nonsense and nothing ever changes...



Yes! Cornwall is very powerful and rich. Syl'anar is extremely capitalistic, allowing monopolies, and of course, slavery to exist. There are competitors, but as you'll learn in v0.11, they don't have the same level of power as Cornwall does.

Knew I was going to like Vanessa.

Lin might be my little blow job queen, but she has never blown a leaf ...as far as I know. XD I stick, maybe, but a leaf, never!

Oh, speaking of feedback, I would like to see more of Ashley's mom. Don't care if we never see her dad again, but I do hope they can reconcile. ...You know, and if her husband is neglectful in other ways, we are always happy to help. lol

Like what? I've seen people criticise a number of things and it's always the same, he refuses to admit anything was a mistake.
And honestly I don't believe he ever actually intended to make any kind of alternative path. He said that at first to appease people when there was backlash against the scene (which for some reason he thought everybody would love ) but as soon as we tried to explore what that might look like he immediately dropped the idea.

I know I have made suggestions that have gotten in the game, such as with Lin's new alarm scene, and he has taken others as well, though the details are fuzzy due to being in crunch time on my own game.

You can believe what you like, but I believe that Runey would not do that, but you you ran the topic into the ground and it turned him off on the idea. ...but, the world may never know.

Saves work fine, we have not 'had' to start over in years (if ever), it was just recommended this time, due to a lot of changed to the older scene.
