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

[QQP_Purple]

Yeah, but the aforementioned trip to the museum precedes the DNA test. So that's still.. three cars, minimum, to transport 9 people (all main girls + MC)? 10 if Ellen joined? Not a difficult fit at all, unless someone's only got a 2-seater sports car or something.

Any reasonably sized automobile can fit 5 people without problems. And that's comfortably. You can fit 4-5 people in the back of the car if you really try. So yea, I completely agree with you.

Hotel management isn't meant to be a big part of the game, though I do find bits of that enjoyable. What suggestions do you have to make it better and more fun?

If I might chime in on this.

The one thing I can say is that it would be an improvement if money was more meaningful. I have been recording my income since last time (and will publish the next worksheet soon) but bottom line is once you max out the bar you will be earning more than you can spend and have mostly nothing to spend it on.

I mean, sure, you can collect outfits and such and try to get them all. But those things don't appeal to everyone and either way they will eventually run out. And there isn't really any long term reason to save money, nothing big to work toward or anything like that. If I weren't recording things I honestly could play the game without ever looking at the money counter at this point.

Now, I am not sure exactly how you could "fix" this in a way that works with the game and is actually fun. Or even if it needs fixing or if a "fix" would actively make things worse. But it is something to think about.

With the right upgrades, we might be able to get one or two more seats by turning Android into a scooter.

So the MC is going to trade his car in for a van? Heck they seat 12? 15? something like that....
Then one of those bumper stickers......If this van's a rockin don't come knockin..............

I wish there was more hotel management in here. I realize it can be too grindy, but I like it. I'm also sure that I am wayy in the minority on that.... lol


See, it's easy to sit here and come up with more work for Runey!!! lol

Cheers

They did have Nia's bus when she rescued Peni and the other 24 or so elves.

Well, legally speaking, thanks to seatbelt laws, 5 would be the limit, with 3 in the back. Squeezing anyone else in there would mean they have a good chance of being pulled over.

------------------------​

As for the rest, IDK... I haven't really given this much thought, but just off the top of my head, maybe there could be...

Maybe activities around the hotel that could be purely optional, like helping Lin clean. This could give you +Obedience with the maids (maybe just the one on duty) and/or give you some extra money. You could show him in one of the girls' rooms, chosen at random, maybe playing with undergarments for people with that fetish, or the girl could be half dressed when you enter, with various reaction based on their exhibitionism stat? IDK

Maybe that one is just +to obedience, and he could help in various parts of the business, each with a different effect.

He could help in the bar for more money, with maybe some scene with Moon and/or Maria. More if you use the Strip Club idea, then Peni could also be involved.

He could work in the laundry, again for people with an underwear fetish.

He could serve drinks to people who are there to use the hot spring. Also earn him some tips and sexy renders of random guests.

He could help in the kitchen, for +Obedience to the maid on duty, and maybe some fun/sexy images of the maid, like Lin with some whip cream on her nose, and naked apron, milking Android while she is making a cake, etc.

Maybe do some gardening for ...IDK, +Lin, and a scene with either the fairies or one of the elves?

He could help Ellen at the front desk for +money and maybe a scene fucking her behind the counter while she is helping/talking to one of the girls... (alternately he could eat her out, so he is under the counter and can't be seen, so Ellen is trying to hide her reactions).

I'd actually be super down for more management stuff, depending on what it is it could help break up the pacing a bit. Things that generate more money when diligently or strategically interacted with make progress feel rewarding and could help get the more expensive elves sooner. But also we are definitely in the minority and Runey has a HECK tonne to do without us asking for this

One thing you can do with the money is the gifts you can buy for the girls. I've never had to buy one, as far as I know they're only needed if you make the girls mad.

But gifts shouldn't just be for making them not mad. You can buy gifts for affection too and that would introduce a sex scene. This new sex scene would also introduce a new trait. I'll call it "Sugar Baby".

General Timeline:

You buy Lin a gift.
Her obedience goes up ( affection ).
You get her gift giving sex scene.
She gets a +1 on the Sugar Baby trait.

Do that 10 times to get her Sugar Baby stat maxed.

Buying them sex toys is another thing to do. But that may be too many extra animations to do for each toy.

Autumn is the only one I've had to buy gifts for, sometimes twice in a run depending on choice.

I think I did once for someone, once, at the very beginning. But that is it.

I do like the idea of trading gifts for love/obedience, a less grindy way to help keep that one over the slut trait.

They could also be use in conjunction with dates, give them to the girl to increase the ^ stat and your chance to get laid or something at the end. Though, for me, I would want to have some public sexy act at the end, rather than the way it works on the other similar events, where they take you back to their room, and have sex there.

What I am thinking is that if you do well enough in the date (and her exhibitionism stat is high enough), you could get some sex on the date, if you don't do that well, or her stat is too low, then it would go like those lobby events and they take you back to their room, or if you treat her poorly, then nothing. Or something like that.

I personally don't have an obedience issue with either Lin or the droid. I have Lin sleep with me every night once she is able to and I personally don't have an issue with the droid either. Not big on the gifts for love thing either. I guess I like the way things are now in the game, but I'm one of the people who don't care about the sex in these games, the stories are much more than enough.

I don't know but I'm sure I'm in the very small minority here as I am in most things when it comes to these games. Buying gifts would cheapen the "sex rewards" to me. I don't know. Whatever

If we want to go with something kind of simple, maybe a reason to buy a gift would be because it's a girl's birthday. It'd probably be a pain for Runey to script, but I could see a possible event involving planning some sort of birthday party for one of the girls.

That I wouldn't mind and that makes more sense rather than giving the girls a gift just for an extra "pickle tickle." or a boost in LOVE/Obedience which comes naturally throughout the game.

I mean, my Lin obedience is usually over 200 because she's the only one I sleep with, but before any of that, I usually do one or two kitchen events with her before that happens then you have the Lin Lobby events which also gives obedience.

Obviously if you're on the Lin LOVE route like I am, after a while her Obedience means shit and the droid is pretty pliable at things once she reaches max.

The Lin obedience thing I would think would matter more if she was on the slave route, but I would never EVER do that. I see buying the gifts for the girls as a means of in-game "pay to play" for sex scenes, and that I do not like.

Unless story driven or for Exhi/Sub full stats, my MC never touches or "Interacts" with any of the other girls except for Lin.

Well, I didn't used to have that option, since sleeping with you only just started giving points, not that I have issues, because I do headpats everyday, and occasional spankings. That said, I like keeping the love/obedience over the slut score, and the morning alarm clock and other events can occasionally make that a challenge. I had to stop the morning alarms to give myself a buffer. (787/637)

As for the gifts, I thought the point was to make them more useful, and being able to give one to them on their birthday (once a year) is not the most useful thing in my mind, and it also means that Runey would have to pick an actual date, and track that, which could cause issues if there is a birthday event, like that one with Ashley. Seems like more trouble than it is worth.

As long as it is over a base amount, the love stat is mostly superfluous anyway, so it seemed like just a nice little role play thing, and I just can't think of too many other ways to use them that would affect anything. I mean, it's essentially a porn game, so I figure everything should lead back to sex at some point.... lol

Also, you have to keep in mind, that since this is a harem game, most of us won't just sleep with only one girl.

I know. I'm probably one of the very few people who play this game that only sleep/interact with one girl. Outside of the stories/routes, I like to keep that kind of exclusivity to Lin.

I use CTRL through the other stories (especially since I've done 14 runs) and only take my time reading and enjoying Lin's (Moon's and Nia's for #2 & #3 respectively)

I only do the head pats up to the point when Lin is available to sleep with you. I don't let the Slut get over 100 but the Obedience (because I allow her every night in my bed) is usually 2-3x that. I don't really like the other main girls too much. Emma would be #2 if I had to choose.

Don't get me wrong, Lin is one of the best girls, always been one of my favorites, but I like most of them.

I haven't restarted since I had to in one of the really early versions, I don't want to ever have to try to redo all of that again. If I have to start over again at this point, I just don't know what I would do, I just don't have time for that much grind again. I am almost 850 days in... yeah, no... can't do that again.

My Lin is the Blow Job Queen! Been a long time (over a year in game) since she has been my alarm, and she still has a 437 BJ skill. No one else in my game can even cum close. lol

I think my full save is about day 229 or so (I only keep one full save to use for the ongoing game), and that's with all the girls maxed out or more (minus Autumn, whom I always do last in my runs) in all their "skills" (for which the CTRL button really helps on for the Exhib/Sub stuff). I think when I first got this game I did 6 full runs in about the first 10-12 days. I'm on run 15 now after just doing a full one 3 days ago.

Despite me having a Lin/Nia/Moon screenshots folder, I have to play this game every few days or else I get the shakes (I don't really get them but I'm certainly addicted to this game)

I am on save page 31 (almost full). I make at least one save per day, and another one for every event, and every choice.

I can't play that way... I mean, what is the point of replaying if you are just going to skip everything? You don't have to start over every time you want more, you can just keep playing. There are so many repeatable scenes, that you can go on forever. Also, I usually work 12-20 hours a day, I just don't have free time.

 

[ImperialD]

i used to have like 500 saves
but hey restarting is fun .. just kinda time consuming ... but in case something new is added .. at least i won't miss it
Runey ... damn man this is one awesome game .... love the vaca at the end .... seems i've completed everyones events .... this game is getting better and better ... your amazing awesome .... and whats even better i had no issues at all ... i love that

That is the problem, time consuming. I barely manage to play the updates as it is these days. That is why I keep hoping all those new scenes will make it into the gallery (that I would also need to find time to replay). I mean, I have saves for back then, but knowing what save is for what event is another story entirely. Or even knowing what got remade and what didn't.

That is one of the minor complaints I have about this game, the gallery is lacking too many scenes. ;p

i managed to end the game at 364 days .... woot 1 day short of a year
the love and affection i have from all the girls is off the charts
