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

[Segnbora]

You would be surprised how often people come in here asking about why they can't advance someone, only to find out that it was because they were ignoring someone else, and there really are not that many of those overlaps. He generally keeps that to a minimum.

Alright, but I've never objected to that element of this particular game. I'm simply speculating about a game in which someone was available to do something, somewhere, in every particular time slot. HH actually makes that possible once you've moved the plot along, which is one of its many qualities, but it could be expanded into locations that are currently (mostly) unused. That's all I was suggesting.

While not exactly what you're asking for, we do have a wiki that has the continent on it. It's not a great one though and definitely needs more detail.

It's hard to think of many good places to put a map like this in game though. Maybe as the wallpaper?

I think the most important criteria is putting it somewhere where it's accessible even during scenes.
Here's a quick mock-up of what I'd implement. It's 3-am though so yeah, quality is as you'd expect.

The 'Map' on the left could be anywhere. I kept the "Syl'anar" in Pink at the top since that's where the character Names are when viewing the Gallery. That way it's consistent.
If you had a world map with the other continents you could even use the arrow at the bottom to switch between them.

ps: great update, as always

Asked Ashley to sleep with me as a regular evening event. Got this:

She's blonde in every other frame.

Probably the lighting.

That's not lighting. That's temporally discomforting hair care.

I wrote a review of the game. But to re-iterate in the forum so there more visibility to see if other people have the same 'issue' I do.

I really dislike having to select body sizes for the android every scene. When you grind scenes this gets really tedious. Especially if you are someone who already has a preference in mind. It feels really strange that there is no set default option for this.

I wish some of the android stuff would be updated to keep the 'human' body when its unlocked. Its a bit weird to see full reversion. But then again - I'm not sure what the best way to implement something like this is. Because at that stage, the android essentially has 'free will' and if you are of the morality that they should be able to 'do whatever' with their body - then it would mean locking the player out of these scenes if they wanted to see it.

A possible work around would maybe be if the new menu was to ask for your preference AFTER that event. That there would be an option to say "this version of your look is my XXX activity default". Then on days she asks to stay with her human look, that you could still interact but with the human model.

I understand that this is PROBABLY in the works - mostly because you can't interact with her on those days anyway. But I wanted to roll it in just to see if other people, would agree.

Can I ask why you view that as a positive? That, for example, Android isn't available until evening pretty much every day is a thing I acknowledge, but why is that a good thing? How does that make the game more fun, using your wording? This isn't a criticism; I'm seriously just asking.

It encourages the player to not focus on one character. It's a subtle way of saying "go do something else". Too much of this will get annoying. This is Harem Hotel after all, so the idea is to play through every character's story.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've also decided to rework the map in photoshop:

Still a work in progress.

It's the lighting. Poor lighting.

How does that function, though? If I'm focused on Android, I'm going to spam my way through the game until I have access to her. (I say this because I'm currently playing this bizarre version of the game in which I'm OCD-ing individual stats) You're not actually encouraging me to go talk to/fuck someone else, you're just denying me the character I want. I get the theory, but does it actually function in practice? Are people who are desperate for more Maria actually satisfied when Lin gets horny? Is what you're trying to do how players actually experience the game?

Thanks for bringing this up here. Yeah, a lot of that stuff will most likely make it in at some point. It's just down to priority in most cases.

Just to be clear and bring this back to first principles: that the laundry room is usually empty and event-free is key to making players spread their interest around? That I can't have sex with Ashley in the hot springs is what makes me pursue Maria's path?

I came across a slight logic issue the other night.

That is how HS works, I have seen white characters look black, just because the lighting in HS is shit. lol

Huh? What? No.

Oh boy, thanks for this torrent release. I came back to this game after a while (my old version is 0.13.1) and browsed the thread for a bit looking for old updates just to learn that as of 0.14 I've gotta re-download the game. The 0.14 torrent and the official 0.14.1 patch helps a ton especially since Mega won't let me download 8GB sized files without paying and the direct links take like 10 hours on average to DL which is pretty ridiculous lmao. Anyway, thanks again, I promise to seed!

How do I fix the shop error? I used the 13.2-14.1 compressed update and thought it would fix the shop, does downloading the whole 14.1 compressed file fix the problem? I can't access the shop or anything for that matter on the computer in your room

 

[Ive-11]

I've never had a problem with the shop using the regular download, it's already compressed down to 8+Gb. Assuming your compressed 13.2 didn't work it's fair to assume adding the compressed patch won't fix it.
