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

[ChildofIshtar]

I should see when the last time Runey even mentioned her was.

The last time that runey mentioned her ethat wasn't provoked, was in april of last year. And it was to make a meme at the expense of juliet fans, and making her also a meme by proxy.

The other times have been because she was brought up and Runey was explaining.

 

[KonfinedKnat]

Most likely someone new, the generally assumption is that it will be Wheelie.

I'm thinking that might be the room where I'll install the automated head patting machine so that I can take a break whenever my hands get tired.

 

[Segnbora]

I was overwhelmingly Team Moon, but whoever. As long as she's got an interesting character arc.

But, I don't want to be in that room... wait.

All I can say for sure, is that he said that it would not be someone that we have already met (and even that might have changed by now).

I can't imagine "Wheelie" (is that really her name?) taking the room on the 3rd floor that is only accessible by stairs. So while I won't say it's impossible, this is strictly my opinion, I think you folks might be looking in the wrong direction unless the hotel gets some revamp design.

No, that is just a nickname, we don't have her real name. Like Josephine was called Scribbles before we learned her name in Dragon Age 3.
Who is to say we don't have an elevator on the wall we can't see? We have to be compliant with the Sylvians with Disabilities Act. Also, her legs are not totally useless, they just don't work well.

---EDIT---​

Then again, it's HH, so maybe they just assume the elves will carry them?

 

[Korok85]

Quick question. In case it is really here.
Does the Hotel have an elevator or does the MC need to cary here every time to the top flor?
Well the android could also do the job.

Until Runey says something, or adds something to the game, it's all in our imagination.

My money is on the fairies. I mean, with the thousends of jet pack we have produced, they could even lift the hotel itself.

Back when the topic was being discussed we had lots of thoughts on this... obviously the princess carry would be fun. But it would be a bit limiting for her. Devian is correct that she can walk, it's just that her legs don't support her well for long... so it wouldn't be ideal to take 2 flights of stairs to get to her room. We jokes that we could install one of those wheelchair tracks on the stairwells, giving her a wheelchair elevator, essentially. And of course, we suggested there could be an unseen elevator... probably next to wherever MC's bedroom is*. We really do have no idea what is on the wall opposite the girls' rooms.

I really don't think it's gonna be wheelie though. Too much time has gone by, and we kinda bullied Runey into the idea anyway. He had fun designing her and thinking about her, I'm sure, but I don't think he was ever any more attached to the idea than he is to creating Juliet or Ellen content at the rate people would like.

*I think Runey has said that MC's bedroom is accessible from the landing on the first stairwell, but I might be wrong.

I think the concept was to explore/explain more about drow/human hybrids, and from a lore perspective, it offers a lot of potential that way, so it makes sense, a way to ward off people who want to knock up a drow. ...At least until we can do some genetic engineering anyway.

As for who, it could be her, it could be someone who was not in the game at the time but added in the last update or so, or someone we have never talked about before. I mean, we used to talk about the MC's sister showing up (though I always imagined her to be the maid for the next floor). There are many possible options.

But, of the ones we know about who are not in the game, she seems the most likely, unless it was someone who was only just added, then I would say Eris is pretty likely. It depends on if Runey meant that she was just not in the game yet (at that time), or if she won't be added until she joins.

I have another hope that Runey mentioned was planned for late game but hasn't been mentioned in a long time.

I do remember us having to kinda convince runey of the idea that it wouldn't be wrong to include a character with such a visible disability. Like, the worry of it being exploitative rather than appropriate. Had to talk about out not doing it because you're afraid to sexualize people with disabilities is just as harmful. That's the bigger part of the bullying I remembered.

Well, I happen to know a young woman who is in a similar situation to her, and she was thrilled that she might get representation in a game when she heard about the possibility.

Remember, many of the characters in this game have disabilities (like Kate's autism), they are just not all physical. Those if us with disabilities like to see people like us in these games too.

Hi all, my compressed unofficial Android port of Harem Hotel v0.16.2
with Maim Lain Lord Ashram walkthrough, cheats and gallery mod.
Will update apk when Lord Ashram does the mod (will be small)
Usual gestures, save name/delete, seethru textbox, resizeable game and dialogue text.
Scrollable textbox - no more text off the bottom of your screen
Note: Quick Menu is not always active, swipe up on the screen to access the game menu if you need to.

Special Instructions:

Unzip and install apk.
Alternative persistent saves/log location
Grant storage permissions on first run!
On first run you will get a prompt to copy the archive.rpa file to "documents/Wills747/harem.hotel/game" folder.
(game will quit now)
Copy the rpa file to the directory indicated in game.
Restart the game.
Keep in mind if your default install location is an actual SD card and slow speed this may slow the launch.

Keep archive.rpa, I'll likely use it for future updates to keep the apk size small.

Advise keeping gl2 disabled unless you have a PowerVR gpu or experiance video problems.

absolutely, that's what I was trying to say. We had to convince him it wasn't just fetishizing them.

i like seeing characters with disabilities in games partly due to the fact that i have a few disabilities myself

With regards to the elevator - most building codes around the world require commercial buildings that are at least 3 stories to have an elevator that must be readily available from the lobby. So it could be quite possible its there, we just don't see it because everyone likes to get their steps in for the day. But more realistically, its probably a freight elevator for moving furniture. Honestly, could you imagine Lin and the Gynoid moving a couch upstairs? "Pivot. Pivot. Pivot! PIVOT!" "SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!"

 

[Knight_of_the_lance]

well the staircaisse doesn't even have raillings, they are mendatory in the code over here. I lost hope of Runey modifying the staircaisse to be legislation compliant with the staggering amount of renders already done in the lobby. Also I belive all staircaisse must be insulated from the rest of the floor with concreet walls and fireproof metal door. In case of fire on a floor so occupants can get out of the building even if the fire is on a lower floor. So we should not be able to see a staircaisse at all from the lobby but a big, unapealing metal door. Unless of course there is an emergency staircaisse besside the elevator. But then the floors arent isolated from one an other anymore, and fire would spread to fast to be code compliant.

Buildings are no fun, so many things to consider that would hamper creative freedom for architects. Good thing Runey isn't one. (to my knowlege) He can do whatever he wants.

We are only even seeing part of the stairs, really. XD
Probably have some fire escapes somewhere too.

talking about girls with disability's? Has anybody played Katowa Shoujo? This is the seminal work on disabled girls, in a dating sim.
