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

[Runey]

There was lots of good stuff in this update. I really liked the Lin scenes, especially the dinner and the Maria improv. I did find myself wishing for more than one update for the characters where their story is starting to get juicy. For me that was Lin, Autumn and Ashley. For each of those characters I found myself wanting more and didn't think it was a good point to pause the story.

I know that there will be others who disagree but I hope that Runey does consider in future updates only updating a select few characters so that their stories can progress sufficiently rather than the current one or two scenes per main character meaning that stories will take several updates to play out.

Thank you, I certainly can't wait to get all the old content remade so I can focus on the future more instead of the past. The remakes are soon coming to an end though, because soon everything before v0.9 will have been remade. I think I mainly just have dungeon and exhibitionism content to remake for every character at this point.

I'm not so sure about focusing on main characters though, I think people generally prefer that I update every main character, but we should be able to expect more new story for main characters in the future once the remakes are done! And I always appreciate reviews here, they really help

Any compressed version?

 

[Runey]

I had considered commenting on that post when I had seen it, but I see those troll posts on yahoo and youtube all of the time.
They completely miss the point (most likely, intentionally) that the game is not just about gathering pokemon to fuck, but that it has a real mission that is being built up to.
There are lots of other games on F95 that meet the collect and fuck criteria, but this is not one of those.
It actually has a very well thought out story that is the ultimate goal of everything that is happening.

A lot of people here completely miss the point, it's a part of why this place can be toxic to developers. People in the reviews just say flat out false things about the game and it can be hard to correct that information. Then hate watch this thread for poor reviews and band together to Like them. It can be really unfortunate for me because I end up ignoring a lot of the nonsensical hate this game gets, and it can possibly drown out genuine criticism of my game that could help me grow. But because the majority of "criticism" is just people trolling at best, or at worst lying, I just end up ignoring or laughing at most of it.

This is why I ask for real reviews here

That's a large game... We need a compressor hero!

Agree, this game size became bigger & bigger. I hope someone or somebody will compress the size crazily into half size from the original. But still this game is the master piece, one of my favorite

If people have the last version, just use the update and add it into the game folder.

It worked for me.

Saves having to wait for the compressed version.

Doubt that, if one already have compressed the game (more than the dev) another one would do the same. It can happens, but usually, I don't happen.

Why not just ask for it? I mean, if I take the time to write a post, with a question that I could answer myself if I either use the search function or just look one, two or three page back, then all the others are pleased to give me my answer (again) on a silver platter.
Wait, No?! How could you be so cruel. You're a big bully!

Also I didn't find the gif I wanted to post, the one with captain america and his introduction to the zone. And no, I haven't used the search for this, so I don't ask for it. Only state the fact that if I had the other one, I would have used it instead of this one.

Maybe looking at other reviews where people find all that story about revolution, slavery and good/bad guys way too pretentious would be better understood, if you are willing to listen.

As I see it, Harem Hotel has currently 393 reviews and has a rating of 4.7. So, just perhaps, most of the people are happy with game?

There's nothing wrong with not wanting much story or character development with your porn, but personally I love that shit, and it's obvious I'm not alone.

Insisting on visiting a game's thread to complain about is silly. Just play one of the hundreds of games on here with a stronger focus on porn.

 

[ChildofIshtar]

One day, these folks are gonna wake up and realize this isn't burger king. You don't get to have it your way. Runey isn't making "a porn game" he's making an erotic visual novel. That means a plot, a story, a message. Not just stick dick in virtual girls and no thinky.

Hey Runey. Just wanted to say thanks for making such an awesome game! I love it to bits and many of the events of Ashley, Android and later Maria had me genuinely tearing up. The whole premise of this game is really great.

I do have a bit of a suggestion towards the "slave training" routes or maybe an alternate 3rd route for the elves.
As i understand it Nia is a bit submissive but was so badly treated that she cant trust anyone for that and Sylvia grew up as a "leader" and as such has a hard time letting go of her superiority mindset.
Now i like the "love route" with both atm, but the "slave route" could maybe use a bit better background/reasoning/motivation? (not sure how to phrase it)
What i mean by that is that the training could be framed to be for the safety and protection for themselves and every person living in the hotel. Because at some point the Hotel might be "audited" by the slavery system. Then it would be far better for the elves to be "properly" trained bc someone might pick up on them being shy or taken aback by "normal" master/slave interactions. So getting them used to such things without really breaking/dominating them could serve another goal and also might make them more open for the training.

Otherwise i got nothing expect some vague hope for some future preggo ladies and being able to dominate that High Elf queen XD

Thanks again for this awesome game and just keep having fun with the project. Dont let those dimwits get to you!
cheers

Thanks for taking the time to let me know what you think/feel

That's a good suggestion for the slave routes, they certainly need to be updated, and probably will be in v0.18

Renpy error and fatal crash on the main menu. Nice.

Can't even start the game. Quality work!

A full save pls?

I assume, it would help to know, if you used a mod or not.

Seems one case (you) vs. a lot other who can play. Also as Runey do Alpha, Beta and Pre-Release that are release for the corresponding Patreon group, I would be more than suprised, if such a major error would make it undedected through all this steps.

Error text below if you care.

I think he care, but I would be pleased if you could put that in a spoiler tag, so that this doesn't eat that much space.

I would appreciate a review

Hana is a closet pervert, and you found out what she does in the closet.
What do you mean inconsistency of girls clothing? I mean, people do change clothes from time to time. That's a normal human thing that humans do.






The original size of Harem Hotel is close to 100GB. this is the compressed version.



This is the biggest update yet, you just haven't found the content.



There is too much to remake in one update. And then you would be complaining about how I made a whole ass update with no new story and just focused on remaking old content.

I literaly stated I wouldn't complain about it with wanting you made them in one update, sure some people might complain, yet it's better than you doing this over and over again, didn't you read other people comments with every update about this? Even couple pages ago I saw other couple people complanining about you making this remades with every update instead of doing it one go, so I guess people don't like it, what you think?

And yeah, some people might complain you doing update with full of remade content and not with new content, but that would be only one time complain, because you would finish whole remade content, instead you keep hearing new people seeing this game first time or people who waiting this remade things end to start complain with every update, I mean it's your game, but let's be real, I didn't played game for 3 updates and I'm still waiting you complete remades to start again, because it's annoying and I saw comments about some people doing same as well.

Choice is yours tho, your game, your way to make updates, still personaly I found nonsense doing remade updates along with new content and constantly remade content instead of finishing one go, it's just annoying. I don't want to look old scenes, check my saves, etc, for every new update and for different events you remade, it takes the fun of playing the game, instead I would prefer it's done with one update, so I can look all of them in one go and newer touch them again and just wait for new content updates.

Did you by any chance install a mod today, or in the past?
It is a well known issue of the mod that was available that if you try to use a save that was made with the mod installed on a later release without installing the mod, the game will almost always crash.
That is an issue with the mod, and not the game.
I stopped using mods on this game a long time ago, because of that and have not had one single crash or error since then.

WOOHOO!!!!!!!! 900 posts!!!!!

Hi Runey, I'm always happy to see a Harem Hotel update. Is there any possibility you can add a variant of at least Jin's dungeons scenes back after she goes cold turkey (or a memory of them). Maybe she could RP as her old self? It feels like a really short period for me where you can actually H with Jin before she changes.

I've restarted a few times now to try to get permanent H with Jin because she's my spirit animal but seems like no matter the choices it always ends up the same way.

Even with Runey redoing older content with the last few releases of Harem Hotel, updates of new content are still far larger than 90% of the games on F95.
I personally prefer the updates being done the way Runey has been doing it, compared to how I have seen other devs do it. That being releasing an update with new old content, and no "NEW" content.
It really pisses me off when a dev makes you wait for months for an update, and all you get is a little updated old content, and bug fixes, and zero new content.
