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

And for the most part, 4 training options have been planned to be the minimum amount. So it's likely that more options will be added to the dungeon and exhibitionism training. What would you like to see?

Not the person you asked, but I'd love at some point to just build on what you already have. We have a bar - we could do stuff there with the other girls. Build on the coffee shop / beach for the girls who don't have events there. We've gone to the movies once or twice, maybe a date option that could lead to play there as well.

I'm sure you'll get posts asking for every other fetish in the world, but fleshing out existing locations / events I think would have more weight since you've already invested time in creating those to begin with.

What would you like to see?

options like:
- a collar around their neck
- the option to walk them as dogs (and if they have high stats in exhibitionism maybe do so in public?)
- a wider range of punishment tools (that bring different results depending on their stats, say the bullwhip make you lose more affection but grants more submission than the crop)
- high submission and high sluttyness should open the door for extreme humiliation and degradation (ex: you can already pee on some of them -and why only some?-, just push that to the next level and let us chain them to the bathroom to be used as human urinals, have them lick MC's feet, and so on so forth)

titties lured me into this game but it's the story that got me hooked. I definitely look forward to Kate and the shy girl at the back of her class' stories

A higher chance that they can't hold it in the dungeon. At low levels, they don't listen because they are defiant, at higher levels, they just like to be punished.

Once again, I would love to see more bar scenes, like messing with Maria while she is working (vibrator, spanking, groping, whatever), expanding the Moon spanking scene (like making her serve naked, with the cum on her back after she is well spanked and fucked).

More park scenes, like taking the 'clones' to the park, being able to 'fill in for their missing tails there', for example. Really, any kind of pet play (with any of them) would be fun, like just taking them out for a walk, making them pee on a fire hydrant (or plant), blowjob on a park bench, make them drink/eat from the pet dish, ect...

More public lust events, like Kali's walk of shame, and Maria's blindfolded adventure.

Speaking of that, an exhibitionism/punishment scene where you blindfold one of them and then take them for a walk would be amazing, could repeat that with a number of them, by taking them to different places (cafe, park, city, school, store, etc...), and make them do different things while there (masturbate, handjob, blowjob, sex, ext...).

Making all of the maids work in naked apron (or less) all the time.

Requiring the hot spring to be naked only, like any authentic one. You shower off, then you get in. hehe

Making someone go to class/work/store with a vibrator while you have the remote (also like Kali's level 6).

Something like that scene where you take Lin out, and she changed in the middle of the clothing store. Even if it costs me money to pay for the item every time, it would be worth it. XD

More variety of sex in front of Ellen, in the lobby. Getting her excited while she watches, or even joining in.

Of course, I also still vote for the stripper pole to be added to the bar. Get Moon's class group to do it as a project. lol

Really, any exhibitionism related scenes (or fun punishment stuff) is always welcome, can't have too much. lol

Speaking of, one thing I would like to see change, is like for example, Emma's punishment where she drinks pee, she seems somewhat defiant (understandable), but it would be nice to get some variation on that as her sub stat goes up. I think I mentioned that example when that event was first added, but seeing little things like that are always nice, and you can mostly use the same images, just an slight change in text for flavor.

Still waiting for Vanessa catching Kali in the lobby in her rope outfit (since they visit on the day she is there), so they can compare notes and what not, want to unlock her rope outfit too, and that seems like an easy way to do so.

We have a bar

You mean you have a bar....I have a bar, almost everyone has a bar....and one guy has debris.

 

[Gates1897]

can i use the update from 12.4 to 14.1 at once?

 

[TheDevian]

can i use the update from 12.4 to 14.1 at once?

No, AFAIK, you need to have the last version to use the update, so being two updates back you will need the full version.

Porn is not the primary aspect of this game. Story is. Always has been.

I'll be honest, the story is very intriguing; this has been one of those games that I enjoy both for the lewd aspect and the story. Though I think that realistically speaking at this point the porn and story aspect are intertwined and serve as the primary focus. Much of the story and character interactions would feel bland and generic were it not for the intimacy you build between the MC and the various characters in the game (I'm not particularly big into harem style stuff to begin with, always felt a bit forced most of the time). But you've done a really good job of fleshing out the individual girls, their progression in bonding with the MC, and using their sexual desires to more or less expand them from simple one or two dimensional characters to fairly fully realized individuals that you feel for. I'm very interested in Vanessa's story & progression, I'd love to see you have one or two characters that fully delve into the more BDSM side of things. Not just for the fun BDSM scenes, but for actually exploring the aspects of trust, connection, and communication that a healthy BDSM relationship often encourages.

Keep up the great work!

Post Note-

I do like the dungeon... it'd be nice to have some interesting scenes or options... Maybe at a certain level of submission/slutiness you can have them wear a chastity belt with/without toys until they beg you to let them out/tease them? I dunno... there's always fun ideas to implement as long as they blend well with the characters and the story! It's what really makes your game stand out in my opinion.

 

[Bingoogus]

Be sarcastic all you want, your pimp fantasy isn't going to happen.

I think you very much misunderstood my post, i said stripping good, prostitution bad.

Explanation about faeries and elves.

You're right, mostly, on all of those things but no explanation of them is in the game itself. I expected the MC to ask Sylvia why she didn't think Faeries might be behind the queen's power when she was explaining the military formations at the burger joint. I expected the MC to ask why Sylvia was wanted dead if the queen released her, WE know why but the question would be natural in that situation and then the situation would be understood by the ensuing explanation. You can have the best explanation for these things in the world but if they're not in the game there are always going to be people like me, coming here asking how this stuff adds up when XYZ. I said i like your game Runey, er, visual novel, i'm not slagging you or it off, this is feedback, this is what i experienced, if you're fine with that and this discussion of it that's up to you and if you have a problem with my experience you can either tell me to get bent or add some stuff to your VN, it's all up to you, i'm not forcing or demanding you to do anything, please don't think i'm attacking you. I'm not.

Harem Hotel was never a porn game. It has always been a Adult Visual Novel.

Poor shorthand on my part, for me i divide games with sex content in them into 'smut games', those that have sex content and story and 'fap games', those that are just for masturbation and have little to no story. I summarise both up as porn games but that's not bad generalisation in my head, it's just short hand between mainstream games that make a big deal about showing a nipple and games made for adults by adults containing a perfect normal part of adult life. My statement about these kinds of games and visual novels most often going down the more-story/less-sex route after the early arcs are completed still stands though, just seems it was the original plan in your case.

Yeah, that's why I've always marketed it as being an Adult Visual Novel. As opposed to a Mature Visual Novel. Adult usually implies lewd bits. However, I would like to look more into making a SFW version of Harem Hotel, and probably give it a different name that fits, so the game can be on more platforms. I would only do so if the story and game were still interesting though, and I haven't given it more than just a thought.

 

[yomigu]

To be honest, I do somewhat agree with the sentiment that the game becomes very "plot heavy" at certain points. However, I'm not sure where exactly I stand on the issue.

One one side, it's the plot and story that allows us to grow more attached to these characters and prevents them from remaining boring 2-dimensional walking tropes. Learning about these girls and their history is what makes them interesting. The abuse Ashley endured, the religious responsibilities Autumn grew up with, Lin's history as an elf, all of these make them who they are in the present. And I'm not against further character development because for the most part I like the characters. Having none of this plot would just make this a boring sex simulator. At that point you might as well just watch porn.

On the other hand, there were a few times where I felt like the pendulum swung a little too far in the other direction, where it felt like the plot heaviness kind of came out of nowhere (namely Maria's and Lin's story arcs). However, that could just be because of my particular playthrough (due to the order I went through events and such) and it wouldn't be representative of everyone else's experience.

Nevertheless, I respect the creative vision because (as Runey just explained), this is an Adult Visual Novel, not a "porn game". I'd be lying if I didn't go into this with "porn game expectations" though lol.

I didn't want to make a full list because I thought that would be too long for the author to read...but you did it, you rascal!
also, I agree with most of your ideas, they are creative and would be extremely fun to unlock the scenes

April Fools Hotel?

 

[Korok85]

I would wish for an option where I can select some special XXX scenes freely.

Comparable is the dungeon where you go to and then select the girl you want and can choose what to do.
Or how it is in the Rooms of the girls.

I like the possibility to have the decision what to do.

For example, every Sunday evening after a specific progress in the game (and if no special event is blocking that time slot) I have the option to choose an event with a girl (or many) that is far enough in friendship level to have unlocked.

An example would be. Go to Marias room and tell her "Lets go into the shower together". Then have a repeatable sex scene in the shower.
Currently you have to know on what day Maria is in the shower and you need to know it for all the girls if you want to see them.
With this it would maybe also be possible to re-use older content repeatedly in the story flow and not static like a gallery.

For the shower scene:
Just change the beginning and end form the normal shower scene. Add some new dialog to change the current existing "going into the shower by accident/or getting caught spying" for example to "she is already waiting in the shower for you to come inside" and play the old animation.

Something like this could create nice possibilities like options in the dialog if you unlock cloth, locations or toys:
MC: Want to meet in the shower room for some fun?
Maria: Sure sounds great. Want me to were my bikini today?

Or call Kate by phone and ask her for a little private time in the hot springs.
Then have some options to choose.

Visit the tree house with Moon again by calling her and asking to visit there again.

SO my wish would be the function:
On special time slot -> Select Girl(s) -> select possible location -> select options.

And you created a lot of locations by now. (Bar, Garden, HotSpring, Sanctum, Shower, Utility Room…..)

I know that I would look forward to Sunday inside the game

As I already mentioned, it would be like a gallery function but in the story flow.

*Dream ON* And if you have unlocked all the girls you can choose a big harem scene. Haha

I can picture the MC saying: “Today is Harem Sunday, live is great to me again”

To me, this comes off just like "This book has too many words and not enough pictures." In that sense, my response would be "This isn't a comic book, it's a novel."

Or plainly speaking, Harem Hotel is an Adult Visual Novel, not a porn game. I try to keep the ratio of story to porn as 3:1, but sometimes story prevents lewd action, such as when they shouldn't be in the mood due to something big happening in their story. v0.15 has a lot of lewd content.

I understand that when one come to this website, one expects a certain type of game. But I am only allowed to post this game on certain websites, usually ones that allow porn games.

Please be considerate, hide those spoilers.

I appreciate it, but all routes will stay NSFW, Autumn's route will have a more traditional dating experience. It will lead to vaginal instead of almost starting with it. But I am not interested in adding decisions that change the direction of the story, that would double my work already and I already do a lot of work, so it would only end up making each update feel shorter. Harem Hotel is a book in game form with pictures, so it will remain quite linear.

 

[Horst82]

Oh I agree with you in the Game you are at the moment building. But I saw you making a comment I think a page or so back that you considered to make SFW Version to get on more Platforms. So I only thought that specific storylines in your game would be able to achieve that. Nothing else.

Oh okay. Yeah I would have to take a much bigger and longer look at every character's storylines to even see if it's possible to take out the lewd scenes for a SFW version.

By the way, the part I replied to in my other message wasn't the part you needed to spoiler, as that is older content. It was the part I left out that may be worth hiding as that happened more recently. The stuff about Maria.

More pet play.

The android cow stuff is hot. Same with the twins/"clones"
