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

[shadowtempered]

Never updated a game before, how do I DL, move, and install the files for an update?

Assuming you have the latest version that can be updated - the update download contains a text file that details what you need to do but for the most part it's just making a folder and copying the contents.

So it is true that money makes you lazy, this game a year ago updated every 3 months max now we going to 6/7 months for the same amount of gameplay.
Idk how people can still keep giving you money after getting blueballed half a year for a game with old illusion's core.
I was a patreon of his several times but people need to realize that sometimes not supporting its for the best of the product.

I’ll take “Bad takes on a pirate site” for 1000, Alex

Correct me if I am wrong. But doesn't Runey supply this game for FREE. Donations are entirely optional. His updates are normally sooner yes and I'm just as keen as anyone to see the next update, or at least a rough date??? But honestly, 1 update being late is 100% fine. There is no way that after all these years he can pump out content without any hiccups, he is human! (not a fairy, as far as I know).

Anyway... I look forward to the update eagerly.

So it is true that being angry makes you stupid or does being stupid make you angry?

Not like I've been posting weekly updates, actively releasing content, responding to everyone's comments, and have been very transparent. Please locate the nearest park and touch grass.

Speaking of which, here's a preview of what I'm working on now.

So going by the updates channel on discord, it looks like we are about 4 weeks from the "Everyone release". Would that be about right?

Oh how did I know you would post this?

Come on surely we can ask some basic questions. Im subbed to his patreon and I still have no idea what is going on beyond the pics he is posting (which look good btw).

But everytime someone asks for a guesstimate on a time we get met with silence or the fairy meme.

At least you're spelling "loses" correctly now though. Props where props are due.

I am not the one causing those poor fairies pain. ;p

Says "every time" in the meme.

As a supporter, you should have access to the beta and beta areas of the discord, so you would know more than we do.

I have made half a dozen of them or so, and I made a typo once... Pretty good numbers for someone whose dyslexia is so bad, they can misspell their own name. At least I know "every time" is two words. ;p

...wait, unless I'm mistaken and totally misunderstood your forum name, doesn't your name only have 3 letters? Damn dude, that shit's bad.

Fair call. Im only a lower tier patron atm, so I dont get diddle squat, rightfully so. I meant more info on the release, which seems to be completely taboo to talk about which I find extremely odd. Unless I missed something, we know what he's working on, the beta is out. But beyond that nothing. Again, if I missed something, my bad.

...and don't stress about the dyslexia, we all have a crosses to bare.

It's not taboo. It's just really annoying because I've always posted an estimated release date on my patreon whenever an update begins development. And any time we do answer that question directly, there is another person on the next page asking the same question, so it feels almost pointless to answer that question.

whack-a-mole-customer-service is so much fun. You are essentially a small business owner now

 

[Kiss_69]

Hmmm...
Will I see this again at the same bat time, On the same bat channel?.

Yes! (No...lol. It's done for now)

Unofficially been one for a while, haha. I would actually say I have a few jobs (most of them are willing though), aside from game development/writing a story. Community management and customer service are two things I do which most devs don't do. I mean going beyond official posts. There's also "smaller" things like cinematography, character design, photo editing, lighting, environment building, character posing (undervalued in porn games I think) marketing, social media, and more. I can't take too much credit for the animations or modeling, but each of these things are roles that one person would dedicate an entire career to. I don't plan on doing it this way forever, but I will for Harem Hotel.

….. I meant more info on the release, which seems to be completely taboo to talk about which I find extremely odd…..

The problem comes when a person pops in the thread (which happens constantly) and doesn’t bother to read ANYTHING … and asks THAT question… The reason the meme exists is because every 1-3 days the question is asked … not to mention Runey posts info/ETA on Patreon (always) or here F95 (almost always) and other places (I don’t track) and that is always the OFFICIAL info.

If people popping in would scan/read the last two pages of posts or use the search they would not demonstrate that they were in danger of suffocating!! (because their head is firmly buried up their ass)

Often the question was JUST asked (5-25 posts ago) OR Runey had just posted the official word.
… and if Runey didn’t give a date it’s ridiculous that WE would KNOW something he doesn’t.

For simplicity’s sake just assume Runey’s info on Patreon is THE VERY BEST INFO AVAILABLE and no one else has ANY additional info with regards to the “when is the update coming out” question.

Whatever your model, it seems to be working well! Keep it up!

Or worse as I've had this happen to me multiple times on this site, I would answer a question about a game AND THE VERY NEXT POST is some idiot who didn't even bother to notice that I just answered his question then goes and posts the same question again. Thankfully I generally don't have to respond to those posts since the users will get multiple reply's telling them to read my post just before theirs.

Here, this may come in handy (for Runey and a lot of others too, actually).
