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

[Lord Ashram]

Then the only punishment that you can use is, to threaten not to spank her.

I have and she tends to just stand there and pout like a kid that didn't get its way. Though one time she stood there and threw a mild temper tantrum like a child, then got naked and bent over the bed crying "Spank Me Daddy" until I caved, which is rare for me to cave to anyone but it became amusing so I did. BTW, she was around 40 when she did this and funny enough is her friends and co-workers, she's a manager, think she is such a mature acting women. Little do they know how she is when it's just her and myself (when our kids aren't home either).


Runey should takes some notes for Ashley from this, lol.

...

I meant to say she went to the bedroom and bent over the bed and not imply that we were already in the bedroom, lol.

Semantics


And for the record, Felicity is still my favorite character in this game then Lin with the rest of the house girls all tied for third.

pat x ∞

That's better....

 

[c3p0]

The girls are also a little too easy and they need to be fleshed out some. It's a bit shallow now, but I am sure this will get better as the game approaches completion.

Played through all of 0.16.2 content? A lot of us here would not agree with your statement about the girls being shallow.

 

[Evil13]

every Wednesday she wears that crazy mating outfit, but she won't put the heart outfit on that I buy her? It's a bit much.

You're annoyed that a woman whose entire culture has been systematically eradicated for centuries wants to keep some small part of her past and history, some memory of her culture and try and keep it alive? For one day a week? Wow.

 

[Strike-10]

Yes. Shallow not in terms of being superficial personality-wise, but shallow in terms of characterization. A couple days after meeting Ashley she wants to suck my cock just for entering her room at the right time? It's a little ridiculous. Lin wants to give me a handjob and blow me and every Wednesday she wears that crazy mating outfit, but she won't put the heart outfit on that I buy her? It's a bit much. There are some characterization issues here. It could be better. I get a footjob in the middle of class with witnesses around just for answering some riddles? It's' a bit much. Even for a sex game.

I suggest that maybe you take things a bit less seriously.
This isn’t a War & Peace.

The pacing is what it is because the opposite of your position is a much more frequent complaint seen for almost every H game. The complaint that it’s too slow or that the H content is thin.

On a side note regarding Lin wearing the heart outfit it’s a depth of your relationship / friendship / trust issue … which seems legit. If you build up your relationship with Lin she is all about doing everything you ask of her …

I recognize that you put some time in because the riddle/footjob bit is somewhat deeper hidden/Easter egg type content however iirc the scene happens prior to class happening and the exhibition aspect of it definitely is not it’s focus.

 

[Strike-10]

The pacing is a bit strange as well. In the beginning, hardly anything happens and it takes some time to get going. Then past a certain point, every day or time of day is a new event and they don't stop.

Yes it’s a continuing story …. They keep coming until you reach the end of the charter’s current story progression. Then at the end of that then the sandbox and “unlocked” base events are all that’s left … until the next update.

As I read ALL of your comments I keep getting the impression that you personally are playing the game in an atypical fashion and it’s possible that is part of the problem … which is not ideal.

Granted the game is designed so that every player can play however but it’s possible that the way that feels the most natural for you doesn’t line up with the developer or the majority of players. Which gives you a slightly less than ideal experience.

Agreed, and you always have to take into account the fact that the game is not yet finished.
Just like in a book, where characters can be fleshed out as the story progresses, the characters in the game are still being fleshed out, as we see new and changed character traits being developed with time.

In the past, there have been many complaints in games because some people thought that the dev was spending too much time on character development and not on what they had come to the game for, sex.
Not everyone will be satisfied with how a game develops, so the devs can only do what they can to try to please as many people as possible, while still sticking with their vision for how the game should proceed.
It's also why devs take suggestions with a grain of salt, because what can make one person happy, might annoy a dozen other people.

And as happens with the vast majority of games like this, suspension of logic based on the real world is a must, because the games take place in fantasy worlds where different rules of behavior can apply.
Which in itself is very realistic to the real world, because there are different rules of behavior in different parts of the real world.
In some parts of Europe, showing exposed tits on TV is common place.
In others, there are models posing completely naked for photoshoots in public.
In major parts of Asia, you can't even see the naughty bits of a man or woman in a porn movie.

Different worlds and cultures all have different standards and rules that they live by.

What is the typical fashion to play these games?

I can't speak for other people but my typical fashion when playing these games is a t-shirt and boxers.

 

[DigDug69]

What is the typical fashion to play these games?

He may mean basing how you think while playing, on real world logic and morals.
Real world: Giving foot jobs in public will get you arrested.
Game world: Happens all of the time, because the game worlds usually have their own standards and morals that their society is based on to varying degrees.
As I said before, real world logic about what can be done, does not apply here, or in pretty much any other game from F95 that I have ever played.

 

[imcharliebrown]

any update for the update?

 

[DigDug69]

This is a bad argument. If what you are saying is true, the in-game character wouldn't have made a big deal of doing it discreetly and quickly before the rest of the class got in.
Suspending your disbelief is true to a point but it doesn't apply universally to everything in a story. At least, not if you want your story to be enjoyed or read by an audience.
How much each person suspends their disbelief varies, but your job as a story teller is to make the viewer suspend his disbelief through the characters, environment, world, and story you create; it is not your job to demand it and then admonish your readers for reading your story wrong because they don't accept the nonsense you've come up with.

Let me explain it this way.
He knew everyone in the room.
The girl in the back is a voyeur.
The one giving the foot job likes to be an exhibitionist.
Ashley is a slut that would do far more than a foot job, and so would the twins.
Exhibitionism is a stat in the game, so it would be a pointless stat, if it was not present in the game.
Exhibitionism and voyeurism is something that everyone in that room at that time enjoy.

 

[Evil13]

If you don't like it, then why are you here? You don't like how the story is being told, we get it, there's no reason for you to be here arguing your point in that case.

 

[DigDug69]

Yeah, if it bothers you so much, when no one else that I have ever seen as a regular here has voiced one single complaint about it.
In fact, there have been far more people complaining about the fact that there are so many background stories in the game that tell us about the characters and their past, that do not include sex.

You are saying that the characters stories are shallow, when far more people have complained about the fact that the dev has spent so much time on character development.

 

[torresm]

He liked it enough to play all the current content, which is a considerable amount. Besides, these threads don't have to be an echo chamber of unconditional praise, criticism can be good too. If the person in question can do it without acting like an uneducated baboon, then I don't see much of a problem.

That is true, I have also made comments on things that seemed wrong, but I never harped on it. I just made my point and left it at that.
I learned a long time ago that pushing too hard with complaints when others are disagreeing with you can turn even a friendly persons comments about issues into suspected trolling.
Which is why you address the issue and make your feelings known, and move along.

And on that note, have you patted Lin on the head today?

 

[TheDevian]

Sounds like you really got into the story and the characters.

Most of us here have.

Personally, I played through it one update at a time, with a few months (avj) between updates, so the pacing was fine, but perhaps it could be made so that there is more then 2-3 days between events now to slow that down, but most people tend to bitch that things take too long. Of course, many of those are trying to do one girl at a time, and so on, and the breaks between events help to spread that out. My only complaint, are the events that trigger just by going to X location at Y time. I would prefer that they still triggered by the *TALK* button, and just teleport us to where we need to be.

With Ash, it fits her character, she is a yandere, she is desperate for attention, and she will to anything to make her fantasies come true, including potentially murder at that point in the story.

As for Lin, the leaf outfit is her cultural heritage and something she only wears in her room, you are asking her to wear that cutie outfit around the hotel (and other places), not just in her room. So if you think about it, it is VERY different.

I did not read all of your complaints, since there was a lot of it, and I am dyslexic, but if you think about things, most of it makes a lot more sense than you seem to be implying.

Let me explain it this way.
He knew everyone in the room.

The one giving the foot job likes to be an exhibitionist.
Ashley is a slut that would do far more than a foot job, and so would the twins.
Exhibitionism is a stat in the game, so it would be a pointless stat, if it was not present in the game.
Exhibitionism and voyeurism is something that everyone in that room at that time enjoy.

Also, don't forget, the laws and customs in that world are very different, seeing someone having sex in public is not an uncommon thing in this world, thanks to having sex slaves. And while the classroom is not the best place, since we know Ash got expelled for having sex there, the risk is also part of the fun with exhibitionism.

do we need to download the game in every update ? and can we restore the old safes by just transfer the old save file ?

You need to download the full game the first time, and then every update for it as newer versions are released.
You can of course just download the whole thing with each new release.

You copy and paste the updates into the previously downloaded main game folder.
Follow the instructions on how to do that.
Saves should be automatically detected if you do everything correctly.
On PC's, updates normally are copied and pasted into the game folder with the name "Game". Old files will be replaced with new versions.
I've never used the update files, because I much prefer to download completely new versions of the game with each release.
