You shouldn't have any problems simply continuing on with the story if you load in a previous save of the game. The main reason why Runey has been recommending starting a new game with quite a few of the recent updates is because he's gone back to some of the early content and upgraded many of the scenes with either better graphics/animations or to help smooth out some early story inconsistencies that have cropped up due to new content sometimes not meshing/flowing right for new players and those that have restarted a few times. My hunch is that Runey will likely keep remaking older scenes or adding other early-game stuff with each future update until it's completed (which could still be a ways off).

It seems like Runey wants to rework pretty much all of the old content to fit more with his new standard for HH, so there will likely be more updates like this latest one where starting a new game is encouraged since there's still quite a bit of outdated content. That's just the way it'll be with playing an unfinished game. Though I imagine he will try to keep it so that it's never actually required to start a new game if you don't want to. It'd have to be a major change to warrant that, and thus far the game is mostly linear as far as story goes, so I don't imagine that'll happen. At least, not often, anyway.
As for the thing about skipping, if you use the skip function (either by holding CTRL or toggling with Tab) the game will skip past text you've already seen, but stop skipping if you hit a line you haven't seen before. If you put an arrow next to the "Unseen Text" option in the settings then the game will just skip past all dialogue, regardless if you've seen it or not. Now, when I played this most recent update, I found that only a handful of dialogue was skipped though and it was treating about 80% of the game as if I've never viewed it before even though I have in previous updates, but there seems to be a bit of a problem with my current download of the game anyway (I get errors on start up), so that might just be a me problem. I should just do a fresh install, probably.
By the way, assuming you're playing HH on the same device you played it on originally, you shouldn't have to manually import save files. Save files should be stored in appdata instead of the game's files so they should carry over. At least, that's how every Ren'py game I've ever played has worked for me.
Not my game, Runey is the dev of this game, not me.
The Bat certainly had the most impact on me, at least my head.
That's the plan, yeah.
You could try looking up this program called RenPy Save Editor, it allows you to edit the variables of your game.

Editing saves is not advisable, It has a very high risk of breaking them.
if you break a save it might not even be noticeable at first... Until it is.
best option is to use codes if available or go back to an earlier save.
If you are lucky you could ask if anyone has a save from the point you are at.
(I'm not lucky, but I do have a short memory so I don't mind starting a new game every few months)
"Um Wait what was I saying?, WHO AM I?"

You know, I always figured, "If you're looking at a post 224 pages back into a thread, maybe you don't need to reply to it."
But then again, that might just be me.

Same, one of my friends almost lost an eye over a similar situation, though there was nothing accidental about it. And I have been hit in the head far too many times in my life, and thanks to some other issues, I live with what can only be described as a permanent concussion. My ears are constantly ringing, and every time I move my head, yawn, stretch, sneeze, whatever, it's like I just got punched in the head.
That kind of trauma is no joke.
Getting hit by a car gave me scoliosis and permenant damage to my tail bone. I can't even stand or sit for more 30 minutes without my back and legs getting numb.

Yup I know that. I intend to use it with v.0.15.1 which you can still access via Runeys DiscordIt won't work with version 0.16.
You will break your game.

Dev Diary #2
Hello everyone! Thanks for all of the comments in Dev Diary #1. I hope you enjoyed the holiday season. I'm beginning to get back into planning and development for v0.17 so I have some more to share with you all.
The below four concepts are all tied together in many ways.
Interactive Mobile Phone:
Here are more of my plans for this concept:
- The pause menu could be replaced with a mobile phone. Each option in the pause menu can be an app.
- You can now be informed when some events are ready through text, such as Kate asking you to go somewhere, and you can decide to start the event now or later.
- The phone can be used in immersive ways and wouldn't simply be a different way to chat.
- Interactive phones can also play a role in the story. Adds opportunities for facetiming, nudes, and cams on-the-go.
And more, but I don't want to bore everyone with details that aren't set in stone yet.
Objectives:
Objectives are sort of like quests except you only have one at a time and it is meant to guide you so you never get lost or confused, and encourage the player to advance all main characters.
An example of Objective #1 would be:
[X] Lin's level to 5
[X] Gain $100
[X] Fully Explore the hotel
[X] Travel to Caliber City
An example of Objective #2 would be:
[X] Get Kali's level to 10
[X] Gain $500
[X] Visit The Slums
Other examples of Objects could be:
[X] Build the Bar
[X] Build the Sanctuary
[X] Build the Second Floor
[X] Complete a Holiday Event
[X] Complete a Birthday Event
But Harem Hotel is fairly easy as it is, guiding you through the game isn't the main reason I want to include this. This ties into the next two concepts on my list...
Weekly Events:
- Every week, once all objectives for the prior week have been checked off, a "Weekly Event" can occur.
- For the first four weeks, each event will focus on one of the first four main characters.
- Each weekly event will involve thoughts on the events each main character has just experienced, and will be an opportunity to share their experiences and bond with the other main characters.
- This dialogue can be highly variable to include things you did or did not do.
- For the fifth week onward, group weekly events will occur. This can involve things like group vacations, group events, group dates, group sex, etc. Story outside of the main story, low stakes.
- A new room could be built in the hotel, a Lounge Room, where many of these events would start, and be a good place to host games and orgies. This would also necessitate a new non-residential floor.
The Calendar:
I think this mechanic has a lot of potential to be very fun and I've been spending last week thinking on this more.
The Calendar system is planned to be 7 days a week, 28 days per month 336 days per year. This keeps things simple mechanically.
- Weekly Events would be available on the calendar. The goal would be to start these events every Saturday or something, but in case you miss that deadline, you won't have to wait until next Saturday.
- Holidays have a lot of potential for fun I think. My goal is to have at least one holiday per month, twelve per year at the minimum. This goal doesn't include holidays like Midlari or the High Elf moon holiday, but they are holidays.
- Birthdays would also be visible on the Calendar app. Birthday events could be fun events where there is a strong romantic element including some impactful choices. Such as needing to know a main character to give them a present they would like. Do everything right and maybe you could get a unique sex scene!
- A calendar could provide other useful information such as which characters are currently busy, and why, all in one app.
Let me know what you think about these linked concepts.
To be clear this isn't a goal for v0.17, these are just thoughts I'm writing in a public diary. The Development Announcement post will state my plans for for v0.17 and mark the beginning of development.

Everything sounds awesome!
Particularly, I'm all in for the lounge room
Maybe it could also be staffed by elves recruited from the slums (like the eyepatch elf or hamburger shop elf) so we also get new minor characters without cluttering the sancturary, or use it as a way to gain extra money by renting in out when MC is not using it?
