no pc tem que pegar a pasta game (tradução) e subistituir a pasta game (jogo) se pedi pra substituir os arquivos e so aceita

-----------------------------

on the pc you have to get the game folder (translation) and replace the game folder (game) if I asked to replace the files and it only accepts
Grande Brasil!
There is some translation of "Harem Hotel" to Portuguese?

I could implement every feature a smartphone has into the game without an actual phone, or I could just add a phone. It's actually too convenient when you think about it. (I already use texting and calling, but,)

Checking the time of day,
Weather App,
Knowing when events are ready through text,
Settings App
Gallery App
Map App
Contacts App (for stats)

etc etc. I currently do most of this stuff already, but just not from one immersive location.



Story flow is a part of it. The objectives are totally optional and delayable but it should nudge new players in the right direction. The 5th weekly event would involve all first floor characters so it would require all of them to be a minimum level.



It doesn't sound similar.

I think the goal for any player would be to get the weekly events on time, but they can be delayed. A part of the goal of weekly events is to nudge the player in the right direction by getting them to level all characters and buy the correct things, and your reward for progressing normally would be extra content on a weekly basis that you can ignore or put off. Holidays and Birthdays wouldn't work the same though.



I guess I should have went the Japanese route and called HH "A story where you inherit a hotel, meet beautiful girls, and make the world a better place!"

It's all optional and delayable, so you get to choose what you prioritize. Objectives shouldn't be on a veteran player's mind because they would know how to play.

I'm not sure what you mean by "A completionist might want to see every variation". There are no other versions of Harem Hotel's story. There will be as many birthdays and holidays as the story goes on for. Right now I think most players are in the 2nd year? 400 - 700 days? I would imagine that's normal. So that would require me to make 2 - 3 birthday events per character.
What I mean is if birthdays event hapen based on the calendar independantly of friendship level but have variation based on it someone might want to see a birthday event with a low friendship and a hi friendship. Your characters go through a lot of growth through their story so it seams logic that their birthdays get variation based on it. It seams logical that someone who is a completionist will try to see variations of the events depending on their construction. Same for holydays.

The concept is really good, there is a reason it is used so often. It is a very immersive way to do things.

My only concerns are the UI (don't want things like the map or info page to lose too much screen space due to a potentially bulky extra bit), and requiring more clicks to open the info page (one click away). My right arm is disabled, and the more clicking I have to do, the more my arm hurts. I know another disabled person, who can't play anything that can't be played with the keyboard as well (an issue I have to work on myself).

Over all, I think it's a good idea, and as always, just let me know if I can help, just let me know what style you want.

Yeah, sorry I didn't say it last time, (I almost went back to edit the post, but went to sleep instead), I do trust that you won't do the same restrictive style that they used (it totally blocks off the whole day, even when there is no event, unless you added a new day), what I would suggest, is that they happen in the afternoon or evening (depending on who), as far too many things happen in the morning. ;)

It seems that I don't explain myself well... it doesn't matter.
But 'A hotel for a better world!' is a great name for your story. I hope it is told to a happy end.
Regards.

UPDATE:
I didn't know it until it got me hospitalized a few weeks ago but I have been battling with cancer for almost half of 2022 and almost a month ago I had spent an enormous amount of time in the hospital over it. Due to this all my projects are going to take some time for me to get caught up once I have the energy to do so and this will include the times I'll have to pause due to chemo. If everything goes well I should be back to full speed by May with June the latest.

I wish I had better news but life is what it is.
Can some kind souls repost this to the other projects I do so people won't think I just up and fled.
Your health is more important than anything else, we will still be here when you are ready.

This is an interesting conflict, in that I generally refuse to play games once the dev's announced that they'll have fresh backdated content, yet they often end up being my favorite games. (In case you're wondering, Love of Magic is the other primary candidate here.) That said, I do refuse to play games with days/weeks of gameplay that promise to redo everything I just...did. So I'll step aside for a while (probably a few years; Runey releases massive updates on an extended schedule) and let all these enhancements develop. With other devs I'd insist that this is a clear warning sign that they'll never finish the game, but I don't worry about that here. He'll finish the game. It's just going to take a while.

Runey I just had an interesting idea for the phone thing.
Maybe it could be vertical while looking at the screen with the apps, and then when you open an app, like for the map, the relationship status, or whatever, then it can turn sideways. Could even have a sprite that you turn and zoom in on for effect.

This way, you have the familar phone look that most people are used to, and can still save screen space when you need it.

is the incest in this game just between twins? and is they relative to MC?
Using the incest cheat turns Felicity and Emma from clones into twins and unlocks content with Kali's sister, but none of them are related to MC. There might be a case made that Android could be related to the character in a somewhat bizarre way. :sneaky:

I still have the bug where Nia's harddrive doesn't appear as "sold out" on the computer and yet it tells me I've already bought it. And of course when I talk to her, she asks to gather all her supplies, which I cannot give to her. Is there something I can do?

There is also some Kali and Luci action.

The wandering the streets content was very welcomed and a nice touch.
Any expansion on that would be great content. I have not restarted the game fresh but I'd hope that it is semi time-gated via events for newer players. I can only imagine if that was in at launch it would have side tracked me for quite a bit.

Easy potential content idea is just reusing some animations for additional hot springs interactions. Maybe making some new generic backdrop scene that fits like a towel on the floor or something? Just trying to add ideas, but I'm sure your hands are more than busy with story arcs and other updates.

Chiming in late (Happy Holidays everyone!)

I like the idea of the birthdays and holidays popping up. The whole objectives thing feels needlessly complicated, though. If you want to make there be triggers to have random scenes pop up by hitting objectives you'll complete if you're playing the full game, I get it, but listing those objectives as a checklist sounds like extra steps beyond what you need, I guess? I suppose I'd rather have them be a nice surprise.

As for the phone, it's been done so many times and I always hate it. I know you're trying to make things more immersive, but in my experience, it takes me out of the reality of the game by giving me extra menus I have to deal with. When there's already the computer, it feels like one more thing that isn't needed. I prefer to just receive messages or nudes, etc. as part of narrative scenes. But it sounds like I'm in the minority, here.
