Oh lord, v0.18 beta 3 was just released!

This validates all the enlightened gentlemen who were claiming that HH was abandoned. I mean, the game's so abandoned that it's posting new updates :whistle: /s
It literally doesn't matter at this point. v18 can be released today and in two weeks we'll be listening to how long it took isn't justified / content is lacking / whatever. Unless Runey gets back on track with his release schedule, you're screaming into the void. His personal circumstances that lead to this are irrelevant to them.

did this patch actually take one year to make? how long will it take to finish this game jesus christ
No, he took a few months off after a death in the family (fair enough), then started the beta in late November. He then claimed to take a vacation for the first time in years (a look at his post history disproves that), then 3 weeks later he said he was sick... then he went silent for a while. Came back 3/28 claiming that he just didn't have time to do work (But was ready to start selling figurines as merch). Came back in May to make more excuses, and finally put out another beta version after a 6 month hiatus.

They already knew about the delay, and posted about it on the 5th of this month.
So, most likely Shadow's post triggered them into making that trolling post.

Here is their post from 11 days ago.
https://f95zone.to/threads/harem-hotel-v0-17-2-runey.12760/post-13933040

Like the other trolls, they were added to the ignore list.
I already know this thread is going to be full of angry losers with nothing else going on in their lives come the time of the release. I've received harassment over this for months already. There's not much I can do but be transparent.

People will be expecting a year's worth of content, but as I try to make clear, I want to release v0.18 as fast as possible due to the time between updates. This means releasing the update with the minimum amount of content I am happy with. For v0.18 this will include Story Events for each main character, some for Side Characters, remade/improved content, and the Farm expansion, which will include an early source of active income which becomes a source of passive income later in the story if you choose to take Jin off drugs. The Farm will include many upgrades, tools, and plants, with more plants planned in the future which will affect gameplay. It includes a new shop and location in Caliber which you can visit with the Explore content. So when I say expansion, I really mean that, as it effects almost every area of the game. It should take me around two weeks to get everything finished with this, but it's been in the works for over a year already so I'm excited to finally release it!
And regarding v0.18, I should have time to continue developing my plans in v0.18.1 or v0.18.2 to hopefully make up for the smaller-than-usual release of v0.18.

I could continue working on this update for months more, and make it the biggest update I've ever released, but the fact is it will never hold up to some people's expectations if they're expecting me to have been working every day over the last year.

Fortunately there is more support and genuine questions coming my way than harassment, and I'm usually happy to answer any questions unless it's too personal.

Ignore the losers man, you've made one of the best porn games on the market, especially in terms of writing and characters. Only thing I'll take a dig at you at is cutting us off with Autumn RIGHT before we get to actually having sex with her. Dangit!

I blame TheDevian for this. He has scared her away with his head patting addiction.;)

Just want to echo the positivity. Hope you're OK and that you're starting to get to whatever your new normal is.

Have you considered a new project once you finally finish HH, or are you still full focus?
