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

[Runey]

Thanks for talking to us Runey
I think you're going to have to choose (or lampshade) what these women actually want.
So far, on an individual level, they have gotten satisfaction from being owned, physically dominated, impregnated, sexually exhibited, told who and what they are, mentally dominated, told they are now in a harem, and tricked into corruption. (I went down the list of girls in order)
This is either what they actually wanted at that moment, or they have been mistreated by the MC, or they've just accepted being inferior to their sexual partner because that was their best choice at the moment.

So far they seem to want or accept the things that you're talking about: slavery, greed, being submissive.
So there's this contrast. Are these "problems," if your own characters desire them in small doses?
This game is a wish fulfillment fantasy, so exactly what wish are we fulfilling?
Do we want Maria to take back her full confidence and independence? Or would that be a disappointment? And for who?

I'm trying not to give my opinion on this subject, because this is your story. I'm just saying, it could be schitzophrenic or just plain dishonest if a character chooses to liberate slaves in public, and then goes home to bow down to her owner, with a big sultry smile on her face, later that same day.

No, I don't think so either. It's a question of how many questions will be left unanswered. Does it make perfect sense for anyone to condemn what they believe slavery is (or feminine subjection) when they have chosen it in their own life?
Isn't this a 'its fine for me to own a harem of subs and slaves, but everyone else has to accept that all women are free and powerful and independent and equal to their husband in every way!'?
I'm not asking if that is selfish, mean spirited hypocrisy, since life is always a struggle between classes and groups. I'm asking if the girls and MC are just kind of casually ok with imposing morality on others that they don't bother with in their own life. (If the real world is anything to go by, the answer is a strong yes, they will definitely impose a choice on others as long as it doesn't negatively affect them.)

Can you honestly say you want to masturbate to porn in public with people watching and judging you? Why not? I mean, that would be very hippocritical, right? Since Lin likes being tied up in a dungeon and spanked, that must also mean she likes being tied up and chained in public by people without her consent too, right?

No, obviously not. This is the message I'm trying to send. What you do in the sheets is not what you do in the streets. Even in exhibitionism, the point is to be seen there, you can't do that in the sheets, aside from camgirling I guess. It's not a spur of the moment thing. I think you understand that masturbating in private and jerking off in a park is completely different.

This isn't a power fantasy, wish fulfillment game. MC is not a giant throbbing cock that forces women to bow down to him every chance he gets. He supports them, he loves them, etc.

Likewise, if you ever meet a woman that likes sex, making her do so in front of her friends is a quick way to break up. This should be common sense.

They absolutely do practice what they preach, but you've somehow misunderstood what they actually practice and preach.

"Slaves don't want to be slaves"
This is the part that I partially disagree with.
Slaves that don't want to be slaves need to set themselves free, so that all the power rests in their own hands.

This is another example of a complete misunderstanding of Harem Hotel as a whole. This topic has been covered extensively in game. No, a slave can't "just" set themselves free. It's impossible in Syl'anar, and was nearly impossible in real life.

according to the Harem Hotel wiki:
" [Emma ]has watched some lesbian porn, and is not opposed to trying it out. She is particularly into cunnilingus. "

can somebody tell me where this was mentioned? I remember the "shower accident" [i hope we will get an animated flashback scene, Runey ;D ] but not this

I don't even get why you people debate over who is chooshing slavery and who is a big bad.

I thought it was pretty fucking obvious that all the "slavery" inside the hotel was pretty much just smoke and mirrors to avoid authorities taking away the girls that have a far, far, faaar better life here than on the slave markets...
Like "Yess officer, she is definitely a slave, I am very very mean to her ha ha ha" in their face and all romantic and caring behind closed doors, to protect them from ending up with some asshole who's gonna beat them up all day long.

Also yes the MC might be buying them. You can consider it as him supporting the salvery system... or you can take a few steps back and pick up that he's gaming the system and taking those girls away from the system to give t hem a situation about a hundred time better for them. They are treated as employees, not slaves, in the hotel. Sure they don't get a salary and can't go wherever they want, but that's not on him, that's on the system. Going head-on screaming "fuck slavery" and openly showing he's breaking the rules/laws of that country is the best way to see what he's trying to do destroyed and the girls go back to a hellish life.
He's literally trying to figure out ways to make a change without risking everyone's lives. Because every single uprising got absolutely crushed so far, and a human leading a slave army for their liberation, right on the streets, isn't gonna go any better...

Why the hell do some people seem to think there's any pro-slavery stuff in there is beyond me...

Lin does get paid, actually. It's not a lot, but she gets some, on top of room and board.

Maybe they are playing the slave routes? lol

You know, now that you mention it, Lin needs a raise. My hotel and bar are doing well, so I think I can afford to let her buy herself some ice cream now and then.

True but that's hardly comparable to a salaried employee.

On a Lighter note I want to issue a HDAD/aging eye seigt/fast reading warning conserning Runey's post

What you do in the sheets is not what you do in the streets.

SHEETS and STREETS are NOT the same word....

Had to read it more than once.

Yeah. Everybody knows it's immodest to fuck on the sheets like you'd do in the streets.

Totally, I think I can more than afford it! She's been with me for years now. XD

That is true, but we were only making the same amount when we started the game too (IIRC). Also have to keep in mind that one sil is not the same as a dollar.

Well I never assumed it was : I'm not american.

Most people do, either a dollar or a euro (about the same value right now). But a Sil was worth about $7.00 IIRC. So getting 5Sils a day, is about $35. I know I have worked jobs where I made less.

Honestly I don't think many devs creating a currency for their games get too in-depth about the exact rates. They probably just either mirror a real world currency, or just eyeball it. After all, even IRL, some stuff will be more expensive in one country compared to another, just because it's more rare in one or something.

Truth. Worst job I ever had (retail sales (with the worst company ever) years ago) actually cost ME money some days because business was such shit it cost me more in gas than I made that day. I'd have happily taken $35, heh.

While you are correct, every country values some things more than others, and you will see a lot of that in this game too, you are talking to the guy who actually made the coins they use in this world, so I know how much thought went into it in this case.

The coins in this world are based on the shape of an elf's ear, because the currency was the value of one elf. Even the name of the money, syls, is what they call the elves. In the US, we used to be on the gold standard, in this nation, they are on the 'elf standard'.

Neat little detail to learn, I wasn't aware the currency system had such depth. Thanks for mentionning, I'm aware that having to repeat stuff isn't always fun.

Hello! i need some help here. my SSD died, so i put a new one, luckily all my data was in my HDD, but not this game that i play from a long time.

I was wondering if someone can help me with a save game, i like the game, and i read the story, but i tried to start from 0 and its very tedious to click all the time for the same story


I hope you can help me, and if it's not too much trouble, how to install the savegame again! thanks!

Not a problem, this one doesn't really come up that much, and to be honest, I am still kind of proud of those coins. lol

If you have either the old game folder, or your system drive, you can save them.
My last save was posted a page or two ago, depending on your settings.
The easy folder to find, is where ever you extract the game, HaremHotelXXX\Game\Saves.

Just wanna put it out here that Kali having a rape fetish honestly gets me going Oh and Ashley's breeding fetish too.

Idk if I said it before on my initial long comment for this game, but it's really impressive that most of the starter girls ended up being Best Girls to me. Usually in these games I tend to gravitate towards the secondaries (like Ji Yeon Moon for example) that get less sex stuff and scenes.

And while I'm still down for more Ji-Yeon, I know my chances of eating good are high when I like the main girls too!

I am dyslexic, I can barely read English, I wouldn't even know where to start. It's a bloody miracle that I can even write my stories/scripts.
Of course, I would do almost anything to keep my bar from becoming a sports bar anyway. lol The only reason it will matter to me, is if I end up needing it for some future event.
If you want to try, or one of these people want's to play my guy, here is the latest save.

here i saw that u upload the save, but when i click on it it says its not working, maybe i dont know how to copy/download it
