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

[ZenoMod]

I also kept an old version of the game (and a folder full of old saves) SPECIFICALLY to grope Lucie's butt at the beach in that scene that got changed later

That's quite interesting... What release was it? I might have kept it too. (Could you provide a save to that scene, please?)

 

[TheDevian]

But if in current release the scene has been removed...

Then you are going to have an issue with the persistent file if you try to go back and forth. Might need to remove that to load the older one.

I've been a huge fan of this game for a long time, but that was one of the most disappointing updates ever. I don't understand how one sex scene took so long.

 

[PervyParadox]

Tell me, no balls!

But seriously, what happened?
Is it something to do with incest or...?

I don't think so, it's just that Runey remade and is still remaking a shit ton of old scenes. Usually the new scenes have way better writing though, so it's not a complaint on my part.

The old event with Kali and Lucie at the beach had the MC groping Lucie's butt and also doing something with Kali granted she had enough exhibitionnism or submission points (I can't remember which one). The new version of this event is longer and the writing is better (we meet some of Lucie's friends, then go the bowling with Kali). Really all it's missing to be perfect is Lucie's butt being groped.

But yeah the scenes are being remade for a reason. Some old scenes are really bare and lacking characterization. On my (recent) replay I stumbled upon a remade event of Ashley that was pretty great compared to the old version. That's the event where we watch TV with her and she's getting all worked up inside her head. That's a fun one.

That's quite interesting... What release was it? I might have kept it too. (Could you provide a save to that scene, please?)

Sorry, I'd have to search for it as my folders are a mess, and I have thousands of saves for each version ( ). So to find the specific save I'd have to unzip the thing and launch the game and everything. The version might be v0.14 or v0.15. I don't remember when it got changed.

it seem i can't unlock this 5 scene

those 5 you're missing are Jin's scenes related to the garden and farming, upgrade the garden completely, visit the park to buy seeds, plant some, visit Lin's room to start them, some of the scenes take several days ingame to progress to the next one and visits to the garden and Lin's room.

Thanks for the hint.

That thing of reading the saves and persistent form the roaming folder causes more issues than those it solves...

It should be optional and not mandatory!

(Yes, I know that's a RenPy feature, I'm not bitching Runey for that... Still it should be optional)

The farming minigame (like all minigames in all games - not necessarily porn games) is just a boring waste of time.

I mean: if I want to play virtual farming there are plenty of apps in which virtual farming is the whole point.

In Harem Hotel there are two drives for which we play:
1) sex scenes
2) the story

Both reading the story and watching sex scenes is entertaining.

Virtual farming is just a mandatory sequence of mechanical clicks that the players are forced to perform to progress the actual game.

At least one hour (or two) of boring grinding with no entertainment...

I get that once coded the concept the dev can obtain hours of game play with much less effort than writing the story or rendering sex scenes... But these are hours in which users are bored, not entertained.

Is Violet still in the game?

This can be said for the minimal amount of QTE that exist too (iirc) also, there's fucking farming now?

Is Violet still in the game?

Nope.
Violet was a character that was added by Lain's mod.
Lain has disappeared again and the mod has not been, and may never again be updated, so it can not be used anymore.
Using Lain's mod 17.2 in this version of Harem Hotel will break the game.

No, she was a character from some big payer at Patreon, nothing to do with mods. The guy stopped paying at some point, and eventually Runey removed the content. It was never supposed to be canon anyway, but it can still be accessed in older versions if you're curious.

I thought that the mod continued it, after Runey stopped using it.
No new scenes were added, it was simply the same things that had been there when Runey had it.

Ok, just read in the mod thread that it had been added to the mod, but for one release only, and then it was removed from the mod too.

You act as if the entire update was only that one scene, and completely ignore the RL issues he had to go through during that time.

I believe it was, but she didn't make it. Runey got rid of it primarily to save space, since people are always bitching about how big the game is. So, since the supporter who requested her left a long time ago...

That and, if my memory is correct, also the scene lacks in quality to the rest of the game (cause Runey reworked erlier scene).

Yeah, that is a good point, with him redoing all the old stuff, better to drop it than redo it all too.

 

[Sadistic Fucker]

I'm pretty sure dev is just butthurt that Autumn is a fan favorite and that's why after half a decade, she still doesn't get a scene

 

[7empest5teele]

Its amazing how a game 6.5 years running, is still at 0.18 in its production.

 

[OnlyUsedForNever]

2 years on and still desperately waiting for autumn's goth outfit to be available :'(

As is well known to the regular posters here, Harem Hotel does not do monthly updates.
Before this last year it has been 2 to 4 average updates per year.
For the last year Runey had a lot of real life issues, including a death in the family to deal with.
