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

[Gojii]

Personally, I don't like using the gallery, but I love repeatable scenes. It feels like I am actually doing something, rather than just loading an old save or whatever.

Same. For me the Gallery is just a reference for what content I haven't seen. I'll just make a save file for a favorite scene in a game i can go back to as well given chances are some of what is just before/after it is enjoyable too in most cases.

Tbh glad we're on the same page on a few things and just got jumbled around (because some devs have got me so pessimistic/skeptical these days ). Personally I like sandbox as long as they're not tedious/grindy as it gives a little something else to do as part of a game world.

VNs can be great too but something about being able to have the story not HAVE to be in the same order when replaying to give a slightly different feel when replaying it is enjoyable. Probably why Star Ocean Second Story was always one of my favorite RPGs growing up. Going to give this a look and see how it goes and let you all know.

The problem with sandbox games, is that if there is a gallery option that allows you to replay events, then there is really no need for the sandbox.
Once you play through an event, you can just go to the gallery, and replay any event that you want to replay.
The only time that you might need to go into game mode, would be if a new event were added, and after that, it would be available in the gallery.

I guess it depends on how you enjoy games? For me, I rarely even use a gallery other than to see if I missed something along the way. Finding or achieving that scene in the sandbox mode is not only sexy, but highly satisfying and enjoyable, and I also love it when I can replay scenes between new content by going back to see those characters again and again to interact with them. For me, that's one of the biggest upsides of the sandbox format over a one-directional, narrative VN, which often makes me lose interest.

Hey, it's only 8200!

8200 is Four Digits!
In a month or three you will smash that 5 Digit ceiling!

I have faith in your head patting abilities!
I stand behind my earlier statement!

Will you be posting ye old meme of over 9,000 when you break the barrier?

The concern of doing that is, the old save file may no longer work unless you remember to constantly update it with each update while praying the update doesn't break save files unilaterally. Ah the risk of early access as it were.

You know it.

If you are talking about Lain's mod, she has so far managed to not break saves. I am pretty impressed, TBH. Good work to her on it!

My guess it will be that meme with Lin holding 2 thumbs up.

But, with a flat spot on her head.

I'm honestly talking more of a general way of thinking with these games. Not all pay so much attention to it.

 

[JoePlant]

You sure it won't be a "Not tonight, Devian. I have a headache."

 

[Kiss_69]

Okay, to get us back on target, here is an idol for you to worship and headpat.

Ok this made me laugh out loud.

If there's an "End Credits" scene I hope it's this statue in honor of Lin freeing the slaves...lol!

I will make sure it gets converted for him before that point.

Any chance to have the latest compressed version on the 1st post, please?

Ask mods or uploader and most likely no, cause they don't do that anymore, cause of priorities (new updates takes them, "secondary" infos not).

Since the person doing the compressed version is not the game dev, the staff have issues with it, and see them as not being a priority.
Harem Hotel is already heavily compressed by default, since the game is actually over 100 GB's in size, and compressed down to a bit over 10 GB's by the game dev.
