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

[DougsLeftNut]

Chiming in late (Happy Holidays everyone!)

I like the idea of the birthdays and holidays popping up. The whole objectives thing feels needlessly complicated, though. If you want to make there be triggers to have random scenes pop up by hitting objectives you'll complete if you're playing the full game, I get it, but listing those objectives as a checklist sounds like extra steps beyond what you need, I guess? I suppose I'd rather have them be a nice surprise.

As for the phone, it's been done so many times and I always hate it. I know you're trying to make things more immersive, but in my experience, it takes me out of the reality of the game by giving me extra menus I have to deal with. When there's already the computer, it feels like one more thing that isn't needed. I prefer to just receive messages or nudes, etc. as part of narrative scenes. But it sounds like I'm in the minority, here.

Felicity and Emma, not Autumn.

Sorry about that. I meant Emma. My brain wasn't working for some reason when I wrote that.

I still have the bug where Nia's harddrive doesn't appear as "sold out" on the computer and yet it tells me I've already bought it. And of course when I talk to her, she asks to gather all her supplies, which I cannot give to her. Is there something I can do?

You mean Nia's supplies? Kali is the one who asks for a hard drive. Just checking if you're not picking the wrong one because the hard drive doesn't appear as "sold out" even after you progress the story.

Anyway, I just passed this part on a new save and had no issues. You did check the mailbox, right?

and the elves are just as racist as the people who turned them into slaves =))) Lin treats the android in the same way that Ashley treats Lin ... hahahaha =)

Like real life, really. People have a tendency to be dickheads from all walks of life. There is no intrinsically good or bad shade of skin, despite the craziness pushed in modern media and pop culture. White people have enslaved and have been enslaved, same with blacks, asians, native Americans, etc. There is no "noble savage" that's better than the rest, there are none righteous. Say what you will about the Bible, but it got that one right. "There is none righteous, no, not one."

People would probably do better to simply be good people to be around, and make the world a better place starting at home. Pointing fingers and categorizing people is what leads to division, cruelty, and oppression.

I understand everything - I don’t understand why the MC sleeps in street clothes? he spent his whole life on the street, was he a bum?

No, all of his clothes are exactly the same. His business outfit? That outfit. His exercise gear? That outfit. His pajamas? That outfit. Open his wardrobe, there's dozens of the same shirt, slacks and shoes.

Really helps speed things up in the morning, getting into banging girlfriends, as well as giving headpats and nosebooping elves that much faster.

"I paid for these clothes myself, I'll use 'em how I damn well please!"

 

[Evil13]

Random idea for a Sylvia corruption scene.

MC calls her up to his room, orders her to strip and makes her watch porn as he fingers her, all the while teasingly whispering in her ear until she just squirts all over his hand. Added bonus, he could make her lick his hand clean.

Who will tell me what the purpose of the sanctuary in the hotel? I was there - two rooms full of trestle beds. the bicycle is lying around for some reason (well, to hell with it with a bicycle - let it roll around, maybe its builders forgot?). but it is not clear why I built this sanctuary at all? what does he give?
here is a bar - makes a profit. bar is good.
why the sanctuary?

 

[ramvivat]

Ashley insistently asks for a child. but for some reason the child does not work. looked at the list of tags. tag "pregnancy" is not found. Ashley, I'm afraid, will be very upset - we fuck with her for more than a month, almost every day - the "bite" is supposed to be, but - there is no "bite", it's empty! it can't be like that to fuck almost every day for the whole month and the girl didn't get pregnant. it doesn't happen. and she wants and I want...

Poor Ashley was unlucky in her life - she was malnourished as a child, she grew up small, it’s not fun with her father a drunkard either, she is offended at school. and with a child - also apparently a bummer, she will not have a child, so she will die childless.
The author is definitely a sadist.

The reason for the Sanctuary will become apparent when you get farther in the game.

Pregnancy is planned for the game; however, Runey has said that it probably won't be added until around the time the game is completed.

 

[Evil13]

I would imagine pregnancy is going to be one of the last updates and I would also imagine its going to be epilogue material.

Yeah, my bad, Nia's supplies. (it also bug me out that the hard drive does not appears as soldout). So yeah, they are sold out but I cannot give them to her and she keeps repeating the same line.

When you say "new save" you mean you restarted them game ? Because I have like 35 hours on the game so I don't feel like restarting the game because of this bug :/

Yes, I started again on 0.16 because all my old saves had mods installed, so I couldn't use those.

Maybe someone who knows the right flags can edit your save so you can buy the supplies again. Usually, that'd be Lord Ashram but yeah...
I might be able to take a look at the code later, see if I can find it.

walking around the city, I meet an elven woman with one eye in a maid costume - she was mentioned at the very beginning of the game, she was among the three girls with whom the protagonist's grandfather began to build his hotel. question - can she be bought?

Sadly, she cannot be bought.

At least, not yet. Here's hoping we can buy her in future updates.

Ashley is explicitly ok with Lin because as an elf, she feels that she's basically the same as MC owning a pocket pussy.

Lin, a slave, is threatened by the addition of a new maid, in any capacity, but particularly an android, a thing literally built to replace elves.

The treatment of these two characters by the other, is not in any way equivalent. What's more, Lin comes around to android as soon as she learns she has no reason to fear that she'll be sold or disposed of. Ashley still kinda sees lin as a servant at best, based on your beach conversation with her.

There's a difference between racism, and someone legitimately fearing for their safety and mistrusting someone.

This isn't the space for prosthelitizing, especially if you're gonna be incredibly reductive.

 

[KonfinedKnat]

Lin's not racist. She just believes that all of the headpats belong to her. Can you really blame her?
