Todays update:
I finished getting all the girl's + main script events done and got the majority of the Lain's Mod Walkthrough part done.
This means that tomorrow I will finish up the Lain's Mod Walkthrough part and begin testing to make sure everything works.

If everything goes well, I should have the mod released either tomorrow night (my time) or sometime Friday.
And yeah I do release I need to move to a higher tier on Patreon for Runey so that future updates will take a lot less time to get out.

Curretly stuck after 216 in-game days, from the doors i get the following hints:
- Autumn "my content is locked behind Lin"
- Lin "my content is locked behind the robot"
- Robot "..." (there's no *talk* option on her door, just the generic "knock and enter" or "working/loitering somewhere" options)
I've been able to progress with the other girls, but the above 3 have been stuck in this dead-end state for weeks now.

This was a fresh new-game run in V0.15, Truestory mode has been enabled (in case that's somehow relevant), and the only console cheating i've done is money=MANY to skip the needlessly slow (IMO) resource grind.

Did I do a dumb, hint system oversight, or bug?

Did you buy the human kit and give it to her?

By resource grind, do you mean money is slow for you? I'm thinking of adding a new way to gain money in v0.16.

At 25 friendship with Android, you need to buy the human kit and give it to her, which should have been made clear. But I can add reminders, and I will do this now. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, i'm referring to the early-mid game money grind, $5/day/girl when you need hundreds (and later thousands) to progress seems pretty steep. You've worked hard and there's hours and hours of content in this game spread over the plethora of LI's (i'm at over 9 hours now, with the money cheat), I don't feel that slowing the players progress down behind a resource grind adds anything to the experience. On the topic, I found it strange that buying the outfits for photoshoots has such a pitiful ROI, the player doesn't even come close breaking even. I was expecting the photoshoots to result in an increase in daily income (selling them on Onlyfans or Patreon or something), rather than getting the equivalent of some kids pocket-money in a one-off transaction.

Regarding the Robot 25 event trigger, thanks for the help, i've put a longer response in my previous comment to read or ignore at your leisure.

Thanks for the quick reply and help.
Short answer to your question, nope, didn't even know it existed.

Yeah, she asked for it in her last event, so just go order that, should be able to proceed.

Relax man, I just added a persistent reminder for this event. You're the first person to ever have this issue, or at least report it to me.

I don't assume a player will love every character. Some intersection is required for the overarching story to make sense though.

As you've pointed out earlier in this same comment, most events that require you to do something have persistent reminders in them already, and I've just added one to the event you pointed out.

There's no need to grind any money as the majority of it is gained passively as you play through the game. I can only assume you didn't buy the bar and tried to buy every outfit as fast as you could to reach this conclusion. But it seems you're also using the money cheat? I'm sort of at a loss at how you came to these conclusions. There is definitely no slowing down of the progress behind any resource grind.

The ROI on pinups with outfits is only 2 days. That doesn't seem pitiful to me at all.

Runey, this would actually be a really good change to make, having each photoshoot only need to be done once and add a small permanent bonus to your passive daily or weekly income, rather than a one-time payout that you can repeat infinitely. Both less tedious and more realistic - it never made sense to have the girls pose for the same exact photo over and over, a new shoot every time we wanted to sell one copy, like we were shooting Polaroids.

The path for money is fine Runey IMO … Sure it can feel terrible (especially the first time) but that’s mostly just because we are aLl sPecIAL sNOwFLakEs and demand instant gratification.
The bar serves WELL … and I’m pretty certain you clue us in in dialog & tips that it should be our FIRST upgrade purchase… or maybe we should be a Patron for patron *money codes*

*edit*
The comments regarding acquiring passive income boost after achieving a X photo … isn’t a bad one but the implementation of it could be interesting for you … however it could be as simple as standard room per day per girl is what 5$ but each picture achieved increase’s the $ gained per room per day by 1$ or something so the twins room per day could be something like $15 or $20 … i didn’t take the time to calculate the exact # … but it would be more than the single room of Ashley which might cap at $10

Still with upgrades & advertising the Bar is sufficient (on one save … no codes … I think my account has 20k-50k from rents and bar income) granted that save is the one where I was trying to get
*** blowjob *** and
( *** all acts *** )
but with the latest update and UI rework you cured me of that
*** Insanity ***

Brauggi I don't see that it is the responsibility of a dev to "hand hold" for players who skip content. Not saying I don't do that in game, but often the games I'm doing this are either reduce to "fuck fest" game for me or are completly dropped by me in the long run.

I'm the least interested in Autumn and haven't played her story in 0.14. Not saying she is bad or so, I'm simple not much interested in her. But even then, when I play her, I don't skip her.

Regarding the permanent reminder for Android, I think it is good. Then "all" things work the same and Runey is one of the dev that have the among the best UI in the game for easy playing.
Money do what you want Runey. I think this isn't Harem Hotel's main focus - and never was. I personally also don't have an issue with it and if I restart I know from my time with the game, what to do. If change/increase the ROI of money I'm indifferent to it. Only thing I think would be nice, completely optional chances to "burn" a lot of money, like the one in Ashley's story.
