People like humor, but repeated attempts at such humor that can be seen as an insult to a dev who has produced a great game, that has unfortunately met with a few extra glitches with this release are not funny at all.
Continuing to do that will likely be seen by people as troll behavior and reported to site staff.
Which if seen as bad enough, can result in the disabling of your account.

So, just stop the really tasteless attempts at humor.

I'm a software engineer myself and wasn't trying to bash the dev at all if you look at my comment history I'm pretty rabidly pro dev across the board. Bugs and unintended consequences are just a fact of life when coding especially for a zillion different user setups. Their post just reminded me of the alteration to the silly diity "99 bottles of beer on the wall".

My personal favorite coding meme is

Cause boy have I been there a lot of times.

I did look at your post history, but under the circumstances, what you were posting can very easily be seen as trolling.
Which is why I had not reported your posts already, and ended my post with a plea to stop.

This site has a problem with trolls, and many would latch on to what you were saying in your posts to tear into this game and the dev.

So your stance is we not only need to not be a troll, but also never post something a troll could use... You don't think that's a little excessively self curtailing? Trolls are gonna troll regardless of the good faith discussions that happen on these boards. I feel like that's a bit of an over correction.

Suffice to say I don't really agree with you, but if a mod or the dev feels like my post contributes to a hostile environment I'll delete it. It's not my intent but impact matters as much if not more than intent, so if I've caused harm, I'll edit/delete.

All I was trying to do, was cut down on what could turn into potential drama, so that Runey could focus on fixing the game.
Instead, rather than say, sure, no problem, you are turning it into drama, by objecting to me asking you to stop posting things like that.
Even if you had prefaced the post with an introduction such as, "I'm a programmer, and I know how it can get, you fix one problem, and two more pop up", it would have been no issue at all.
Please stop.
I have said my piece, and will stop here, rather than let the drama grow.

I did read those posts as usual programmer jokes instead of taking jabs at Runey's work, but I'm a former programmer myself...

I'm not getting involved in this, I'm just going to leave this nugget; when you post on the internet, tone does not carry and it can be quite easy for people to misread a comment, especially when it is ambiguously worded or phrased.

Yep which is why I wasn't bothered by any of the above interaction despite not agreeing with the one poster's stance.

As a mid-age IT guy trying to get into dev, I feel this meme.

edit:
Read the last 5-6 posts. I like cheese.

Saw it first in school 11 years ago... It's still true to this day, although I'm better at eventually figuring it out now.

lol ok thanks for guiding me to my own faulty fix, which btw I discovered later that it didn't solve the real issue as I mentioned a few posts later.

again, I am sorry if I lead some of you to a solution that doesn't solve a problem

edited the other posts to correct my mistake

Huh, it was indeed a different variable now... I don't remember it being there before, must've been added in 0.17.2

Anyways, I got it to trigger the event now.

cheers, sorry it took so long to reply, had a nap (cold still has me down), will try it out once I've done a couple of things that need doing.

Cheers again.

*edit* yup, event kicks in as soon as I head to MC's room, thanks again... can you tell me (or @ Runey) what the issue was so it can hopefully be sorted for a later build?

So is it a good time to download or is there another patch coming?

Do you have a 0.16.x or 0.17.x already? If not, then you could download the current version and only need to download the update patch for 0.17.3 or later.

Otherwise, as always, it depend.
If it is your first, download as, at least from what I've read here, the bugs are in the later part of the game. Therefore there is a lot of content to enjoy.
If you finished 0.16.2, then the new content, without replay from the beginning to see the remade content, their isn't as much content between 0.16.2 and 0.17.x, but as it is Harem Hotel, this means one or two hours.

Looks like there will be at least one more fix coming.

I have never seen any split download versions of Harem Hotel posted on F95.
But I have seen update versions posted that require the person to have the previous full version already downloaded, and then they add the update files to it.
Currently the update version is 17.2, and it contains bug fixes for issues found in 17.1, and 17.1 had bug fixes for issues that were found in 17.0.
