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

[Runey]

Is there a reliable way to translate the Elvish/Quenya/Drow speech back into English? I've literally found 0 ways over the last 30 minutes. I'm fully aware there is no point but I am stubborn and curious.

I use LotR's Elvish as a base and then change it up a bit. If you really want to translate it, I typically put the translation in the scripts as a comment on the same line the dialogue is spoken.

This is from the Syl'iath arc, when you see a captured high elf
Some translations are indirect, and elves use less terms than we do for things, instead opting to describe things. For example, Syl'iath is the name of the high elf islands, but it doesn't really have a name like we would think of it. They just call their home "The Shattered Land" like they called Syl'anar "Land of Elf People"

"hi" is used a lot here, but it translates to many things. With this knowledge we can assume "hi" means something like "the present thing" since it refers to 'your' 'this' and 'here'

Thank you for this, my inner-nerd is satiated now

well to translate quenya... get the "silmarillion" it has small quenya dictionary in the appendix

Oi... you say that and I think back to the book my dad has from when he was.... kid? teenager? My guess is the book, well I was going to say 60+, but just looked up the publishing date, and that would make it probably as old as I am.

but can I make a small suggestion? maybe add a series of small scenes of MC learning the elf languages, and once those scenes are done, have translated text?

"Hi na- cin udûn. (This is your punishment)"

doesn't have to be done for existing scenes, but maybe someone could offer to teach the MC?
I know that when I played the first time around, I did wonder what was being said...

then again, I'm also the guy that replayed FFX after collecting all the al-bhed primers so I could see the translated text...

If nothing else, I want to see him learn from Sylvia, we need to learn how to talk to the Drow one day!

Hmm...Sylvia in a sexy school teacher outfit...

Let's face it, her personality leaves a lot to be desired, but bodywise...

Yeah, I am not her biggest fan, but this is one way she can make herself useful.

No dude, don't worry, all the whores are virgins and they're only there for you.

I mean, I kinda get it, I fucking despise NTR and will never understand the fetish, but cmon, it's a brothel.

 

[Uthuriel]

Why would anyone thing a brothel is NTR?
Those are sex workers... it's literally their job to take dick left and right.

As long as no actual love interests are in the brothel working, I really don't give a fuck. But people just like to scream NTR at every thing.

 

[Septize]

Is there a save file, I played through this a while back and don't want to have to redo it all over again.

He's probably trolling you lol (i hope) or he is not the brightes bulb haha

I mean it's twitter so he is probably not that smart.

 

[jamdan]

As long as the girls aren't headpatted by anyone besides MC, then it isn't NTR.

 

[t4ku57]

Runey, Is there any chance that nipple piercings might be a cosmetic option for the girls in the future? It seems a shame that Maria occasionally has one in and Jin initially does but then loses them...

"sure, take her to the dungeon, fuck her, tie her up, spank her... whatever you want... but: NO HEADPATS!"

Likely, not more than any other outfits at most. I can see it for the 'slut' outfits though, that would make sense.

I've seen some people even around f95 that think any other male presence in a sexual context is tantamount to NTR. People have some weird hang-ups...
