VN Ren'Py Harem Hotel [v0.18.1] [Runey]

[accidentalEv1l]

I still have version 0.92 as well, but since I am at, I'd say, 50% of the story, and I messed around a lot, like A LOT, do you think there's a way to transfer save files to the new version? Or they'll just corrupt? I still will wait for 0.12 I think, but I was just wondering if someone knew if it was possible to do that without starting all over again.

Most saves should carry over. The only saves that have historically had an issue as far as I'm aware are saves made during a scene that has been changed since the save in question made, which typically throw an error on loadup. If what you are worried about is ONLY your overall progress, and you have saves in the lobby or your room outside a scene, all such saves should carry over automatically.

If you used Maim Lain's mod in the past and used certain cheat functions within it can also fail to carry over. If you just have the vanilla game it should be fine.

Edit: Grammer and the mod warning (figured enough people use it it's worth mentioning)

Can't get Maria's 4th dungeon scene unlocked; it's the only "statistic" for her that does not have a "green check mark" next to it. What am I missing/ doing wrong? Everything is maxed/ completed at this point. Help? Someone? Please

Not sure what you are missing from that, but you could try uploading your save, and someone could take a look...

" Personally I don't mind lesbian sex but I am not a fan of lesbian relationships, I start getting NTRish vibes. I'd have enjoyed for example Ashley punishing her old bullies, watching the maids put up a show for us, etc. But the fact that Maria is bisexual changes things for me and that too drastically. when she tries to touch and corrupt my girls I start getting angry. "

He has enjoyed straight characters bullying people of the same sex, but when that person is bisexual, he gets angry. Why? Because he feels Maria would steal that character. Why? Just because she's bisexual. He goes on to state that, even if Maria is doing normal everyday things, he hates seeing her. Shit on my characters all you want for any reason, but when that reason is because of their sexual orientation you can fuck off. The characters Maria interacts with aren't even bisexual, all the girls are straight. There are things he just doesn't understand which give off homophobic vibes. There is literally no possible way for Maria to steal a straight girlfriend from you. And I won't change Maria's sexuality to please people.

Maybe he chose his words poorly, I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt. But from what I read, there are homophobic undertones or at least a lack of understanding.

I don't want to turn the next few pages of this thread into a debate about this, I just want to make it clear that hating any minority of people is unwelcomed here. Fighting against an oppressive world or society is what I write about, it's the overarching story of Harem Hotel, so I sorta know when I see something like this.

Again, I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt, especially if he apologizes, takes his words back, or clarifies. So far, I haven't seen anything.

-------------

Anyway, to change the subject I've been working on this scene for Nia. It has no plans to be in an event yet, I just wanted to make something cool, maybe I'll get to use it in the future.

You know, I consider "The Toymaster" as PAUSED. Since it's set in the future of this game's universe, I hope that any scraps of ideas that don't seem to fit in here could flesh itself out as some sort of sequel made by you or your designated successor. Hell, maybe an older Nia or Lin can serve to link the stories together and narrate them to a new generation of characters!

 

[Harem_Master]

Is it all that shocking ?
People hate a lot of things for very insignificant reasons.

"Dogs and Cats, living together, MASS HYSTERIA!!!"

You mean, like Felicity and Emma?

What kind of incest does this game have?

What kind of incest does this game have?

There are two pairs of sisters

There are two pairs of sisters

Thank you! I will give it a try

I wish we could drop the island queen stuff. That doesn't flow with the story at all. She to cold and has nothing good at all going for her. I hope we could get a choice to go to her or not because it just not a good part I had to quit on her. You can't do anything but lie or tell the truth no flirting. That just make me angry to play that part of the game.

That part of the game is incredibly important to the main story.

Doesn't the main story basically end just after it? I mean, you finish that arc, get some character development for Lin and than you get the "game over, wait for next version message.

I too get the feeling that it will eventually play a critical part. And I can't wait to see how it plays out. But as it stands the whole arc just kind of hangs in the air. And it is tonally different than most of the game up until that point. So I can see how he might feel that way.

This said, I really can't wait to see how all this plays out. Like we have several elf related plot lines all begging to come to a crescendo at this point and all likely to clash into one another if my feeling is right.

I disagree regarding its tonally different from what weve had before up until now - Runey likes to keep things a bit brutal for the cast for the most part. The whole Lin story is about the elves, slavery and their place in society...

We really should use spoilers, don't you think?

Oh okay that's great to hear, yeah I've been using the vanilla one, so as you said hopefully there won't be any issues, thank you so much.

 

[dozzy975]

Not sure what you are missing from that, but you could try uploading your save, and someone could take a look...

Thanks. I wasn't sure if that was allowed/ possible here. Here's the save file, if anyone can figure it out.
I also noticed that I'm missing another green check mark next to Kali's 4th cafe scene.
So that makes two marks I'm apparently missing; Maria's 4th dungeon scene.

The thing is, I've performed the 4th scene for Kali in the cafe and have done all of Maria's scenes in the dungeon. Unless Maria has a dungeon scene that is tied to edging, like Kali has for her final dungeon scene? I've tried every possible Maria combo (and Kali as well). Maybe my save is just...bugged?

Anyone gets a free moment and knows what they're looking for in my save file, I would really appreciate it.

TL/DR: Kali's 4th cafe scene is not showing as completed. Maria's 4th dungeon scene is not showing as completed. I've performed all of Kali's cafe scenes and Maria's dungeon "invite" scenes, but to no avail; no green check marks for both of them in the respective categories.

Unless you just started playing the game just now which is certainly possible. I only got into it a couple months ago my self.

With this save, Maria's 4th dungeon event worked fine. I have no idea what you mean by a checkmark. Is that from a mod?


The only thing I see not complete with Kali is her Lustful stat.

Um... that's because she's an antogonist. She's a cruel dictator who also happens to enslave people. You're not meant to want to date her.

Does the main story end after this? Are you kidding? It barely just got started. The high elf queen arc was one bump on a long road. Lin is a very innocent, hopeful, and optimistic character. She's also fairly lucky and hasn't experienced the true brutal reality her people go through. The high elf queen arc establishes the second main antogonist of the game, next to Cornwall. It also establishes that both elves and humans can be bad.

The high elf queen arc begins a new "chapter" in Lin's story. Her hopes and dreams were crushed yet again and this proved there is no higher power out there willing to help them. Even God is dead. Lin was ready to give up, believing she had exhausted all her options and that there was no hope left. Then MC uses driving lessons as a metaphor to get back on your feet, that failing doesn't mean you should stop because you may succeed next time. In v0.12, she's no longer depressed, she's back on her feet, and she's in full diplomacy mode. Now she understands she needs a solid plan, and something to give if she's going to get help. Although this is still a work in progress for her. And she learned that asking politely isn't going to work in the high elf queen arc.

She begins to establish her place in her desired world.

I won't go into a lot of spoilers, you'll be able to play soon. Lin is still naive of the brutality of the world, but she is determined to fix things. She'll mess up along the way, she won't know how to properly handle things at first, but in v0.12 she makes her first big step into changing things. As her story continues, she will develop from her experiences and also gain a few scars on the way (not in the physical sense).

If you thought everything I've given you in the lore so far was just so you could be in a unique world, you were wrong. What I've been doing is setting it up. Setting up... well, let's call it "Phase 2". We're near the end of "Phase 1" right now. You were introduced to the characters, fucked them, learned about their past, and have managed to fix a lot of their mental scars, but not all of them. The world is still a very bad place.

What you've seen so far was only the foundation of the story, not the full house.
