are there any scenes with Kate yet implemented in the game?
Yes! A couple!
Enlighthen me, please.
Honestly, I've played about 15 minutes. More than enough to see where all the material come from. I'm not saying "Hur durr Honey Select bad" it's just... I'm supporting several devs. I always though that my money will help the devs to pay the bills and give them resources to keep doing their projects.
People can spend their money in whatever they want. I'm not here to tell them how to spend their money lol. It's hard to me to understand why this is worth of support. If you tell me, the story/plot is soooooo good. Well, you're giving me a reason, but still the graphics are not made by the dev or by anyone the dev hired. So he doesn't own the rights of the game he's developing. Copyright is from Illusion. If the game, even though obtaining the visual part from Honey Select it's soo damn good, why don't you hire a 1 or 2 good modelers and make your own game with your own 3d models? Because it's harder? Because it's more time consuming?
And it also makes me wonder, how many of their patrons know that the animations and characters are from a Japanese game. Perhaps Illusion is fine with it? Don't know, I'm just asking.
If what this guy/dev is doing is ok (by reasons that I unknown right now), then as I said before. He's a genius. Minimal effort Max profit.
I've answered this question a lot, so I apologize if I sound annoyed.
A lot of people, especially from the Illusionsoft discord server, have no understanding of how this works. Honey Select was designed with a scene maker, it's called "NEO". What it does is allow you to make your own scenes for whatever you'd like. Illusion has literally put in an engine in all of their games to help people make their own content.
I have talked to Fakku and asked them myself if I need to purchase a liscense, or if what I'm doing is okay. They said "As long as you're not reselling any of illusion's assets, you're fine." This means I can't sell Harem Hotel on steam.
The three most popular ways of developing a porn game are though DAZ, Honey Select, and 2D drawings. DAZ is just like Honey Select. So if you want to get rid of Honey Select, you get rid of DAZ. Now 95% of all porn games are gone.
You seem to think I put on a suit and tie every day and take an elevator up to my new york office and tell all of my employees to start working on Ashley's next story. I'm just a dude with a dream to make games, and a great world. Porn is also great.
I don't have the money or know how to hire anyone at the moment. I don't know how to run a company, I don't know how to do those taxes. I also tell everyone that this game is made in honey select. It's on my patreon page and even in the game. I've even gotten others to try to make games in honey select or koikatsu.
Please don't assume the worst in people.
With the success of Harem Hotel, I'll be able to develop my own 100% unique stuff. 3D animating may be a bit too expensive for me at the moment, but I would absolutely love to get off of the very limiting Honey Select NEO and on to Unity, or Unreal Engine 4.
(The only devs I can think of off the top of my head that make their own 3D content would be Adeptus Steve and Redamz. From what I understand, you think only those two devs, and devs like them, should be supported. That's 99% of all porn games gone)
