VN Ren'Py Harem Hotel [v0.18.2] [Runey]

[accidentalEv1l]

Given that the MC can't be with all of them all the time it would be super weird to me if the MC spent all that time making a large group of girls VERY horny and then they didn't start experimenting with each other. It's definitely not what I'm here for but I had no idea there were so many people that it's an active turn off for. Seeing the way different girls interact with each other in both relational and sexual terms has easily become one of my favorite parts of the game.

 

[accidentalEv1l]

Speaking of which, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the slaves interact with different characters in the future. Watching some of the girls come to terms with the social power differential between themselves and Lin has been very interesting (Especially Autumn and Hana). I'm hoping the other elves will mingle more in the future. (No rush, Runey)

 

[TheDevian]

Can anyone tell me how to avoid all the lesbian, semi-lesbian scenes in the game? Everything involving girl on girl since I've just seen too much of two girls getting all lesbian for no reason in a harem game. It's almost like I'm a minority when it comes to only wanting straight scene in a harem hentai game. Anyways, thanks in advance

If memory serves me, some of them can be mostly avoided, but not all.

 

[Runey]

I wasn't exactly reading all messages on the forum. but after reading the dev's last message I see that there are other people as well who didn't like lesbian content.
Personally I don't mind lesbian sex but I am not a fan of lesbian relationships, I start getting NTRish vibes. I'd have enjoyed for example Ashley punishing her old bullies, watching the maids put up a show for us, etc. But the fact that Maria is bisexual changes things for me and that too drastically. when she tries to touch and corrupt my girls I start getting angry.
there's this strange feeling that she will steal the girl from me and the other same problems that people have with NTR. and i am not saying that this game has NTR but, the idea of some other girl or boy having feelings of lust and also fucking my partner seems similar to it.
Because of this I started hating Maria to the point that I skip through a event when she is present. Even in a normal event when we don't see Maria's bisexual self in action, I end up getting very irritated and close the game several times before I complete the game. as the dev said it is a harem game so a bit of lesbian will be there so I don't mind because the game is not only for me( I am not even a patron) .
Otherwise I absolutely love this game it is one of those games which I played and felt that if I would have built a game it would be similar to this one. and trust me this is the best compliment one could give. I was enjoying going through the game a lot and if Maria was not there(or be a bit different i.e. heterosexual) it would secure the first place undoubtedly on the list of porn VNs I played.

Not liking a character is one thing, and totally fine with me. But did you actually just come out as homophobic? You specifically hate Maria BECAUSE she's bisexual even if she isn't talking about bisexual things? And to have that hatred go so far as to make you quit the game all together wishing she were straight. That's just raw homophobia...

Just because a character likes dicks or pussy, doesn't mean they're going to like your dick or pussy, or any specific dick or pussy. Maria is in love with the player, she makes that obvious. All of her scenes with other women have only been sexual and nothing romantic.

Maria has never had romantic feelings towards any of your girlfriends and will never have romantic feelings. Romance and Lust are two separate things.

 

[Badjourasmix]

It wouldn't be a problem for me if Maria had feelings for one or more of the girls. They all are in a relationship with him and they are fine with it, so I don't see why he wouldn't be fine if the girls had feelings for each other.

He was clear, the point is feeling danger of potential NTR, dont bring homophobia here.
I feel the same with the scene where a random guy trys to book in my hotel.
And yes, i can feel the same vibe in some scenes with Maria, kinda "predatory" after all she is a tough girl with a tough past and has all the strenght to defy the mc

 

[sitrukpc]

Will Ms. Ren ever make another appearance?

It would help if they actually knew what NTR is and werent offended at someone else being in the general vicinity. There's a large difference between NTR, a Poly Relationship and just being paranoid at the wind.

That complaint was most definitely the latter and Runey was 100% right to call out what was very much homophobia.

Do not cite the old magic to me Witch, i was there when it was written

Do you speak of a difference, and i marked it.

 

[imzahai]

why is no one commenting on the Zinger that Runey tossed in there...
that Maria will never develop more than lust for any of the other gals...
she is bisexual, and we are her only romantic interest... this leaves us vulnerable to losing her to a throuple or an non-resident gal
/dodges the pitchforks and flames

Maria is one of my favorite characters, that she has assisted us directly and indirectly in acquiring more of the ladies is a serious bonus

Good point, she is a great wing-lady (?)

Man, what's with the flood of "I HaTe LeSbIaN CoNtEnT EvEn If It'S BiSeXuAl" on the site lately? You don't like it, feel free to uninstall, stop trying to get devs to change their games.

Edit: Two years later and people are still reacting to this.. again, feel free to go find a game that caters to your personal views.

The game is clear, she is not interested romantically in anyone else but you. It even says on all of my pages (even in this OP) that there will never be NTR. But he will not watch any of Maria's scenes whenever she appears because she's bisexual and is threatened by that, even if sexual or romantic things aren't happening, he doesn't like that she's bisexual. I mean... I don't know why I'm repeating what he said, anyone can read it.

There is no man that comes to book a stay at the hotel.

I know, I've seen this a lot recently, I literally had someone on my discord say publicly "Remove all the maria content, I hate lesbians. DEATH TO ALL LESBIANS". Word for word. Maria isn't even a lesbian...

 

[Maxim Nix]

People are idiots. They should have simply been ignored and not given any response.

I couldn't agree more. For most devs on games like this what you have is a passion project, which is to say it's more like art than a product. The artist (Runey) is making something they WANT to make and hoping some people enjoy it enough to support it so that more time can be put into making it. This is a completely different developement philosophy to a game that hopes to make a profit, where you cater specifically to certain widespread tastes that you KNOW people will support. A product will change to cater the consumer. An artist will usually tell you to kindly shove it if you try to present their subjective taste as objectively unwanted.

Otherwise I absolutely love this game it is one of those games which I played and felt that if I would have built a game it would be similar to this one. and trust me this is the best compliment one could give. I was enjoying going through the game a lot and if Maria was not there(or be a bit different i.e. heterosexual) it would secure the first place undoubtedly on the list of porn VNs I played.

I've seen this "if I made a game" thing in a few different contexts on threads recently, and I feel like people who say this are forgetting the fact that the reason they are here enjoying these games is precisely because they do not have the skill or experience to put something like this together. I certainly don't have the necessary ability to create a game on this scale. I'm here because Runey and other creators have made something unique and interesting that I want to explore. If parts of it aren't to my taste, it's because the artists tastes are different than my own. There is nothing wrong with something not being my thing(or anyone else's). Let the creator express themselves and take from it what you will, instead of antagonizing developers over a difference in taste and acting like it's honest criticism.

They may be referring to the one joke scene you have in the game where a guy shows up trying to get a room and is immediately ejected from the building.

That's not in Harem Hotel. Maybe a mod, but I didn't make it.

I'm pretty sure that's in Maim Lain's mod, if memory serves. Not the game itself.

 

[deathspawn246]

I stand corrected then. I admit I play with the mod installed pretty much every time. It's a funny little scene honestly. Dude comes in asks to rent a room, then gets forcefully removed after being told no men allowed. My apologies for that error.
