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

[Lolicon Kami]

How do I search in a thread sorted by date?

Don't lynch me, a honest question, I've been here for years and I still have no idea if this is possible, I've tried advanced search before, but never with any success.

Don't worry mate, glad someone answered before me

I only found out that function a few months ago, too. F95zone should really make it a default

Legit, just check Patreon

Yay! I've been egging you to check Patreon after you went on an unhinged rant here

Glad to see that you've finally caught on, even though your stubborn pride makes it seem like I'm the bad guy

Happy Birthday Harem Hotel!

It's Harem Hotel's 6th Anniversary! It's hard to believe it's already been 6 years since I first released HH. A lot has happened since then, and I'm very grateful to have this project and your support as a constant <3

Here's a little preview of what I've been working on I hope to release the next beta build sometime this upcoming week, but no promises. Life is still kicking my ass right now.

All that I want to know about the next release is, will Autumn still be a virgin in two out of her three holes.

 

[Quickpawmaud]

Already did, I just wanted to know if there was really an option to make search function usable

Tbf, I've only checked to see if it's still alive as I report any game I see that's over a year without updates with halted development to be tagged "on-hold", this one is close to that.

Game was last updated in December. It has not even been 6 months. This game has been shadowbanned for awhile and F95 staff hide updates for it. Has happened to a few games I know of no idea how many I don't know of. They change the "last updated" to year+ then never change it to hide the game from the search results. It is pretty cringe. (proof from the discord)

I am not 100% positive this game was shadowbanned but I know for a fact Corpo Life was.

No, it is not shadow banned. Just that people don't really leaks none finally updates (alpha, beta, re-release) cause of reasons.
If someone would do it, then the OP would be updated with those versions.

No, it is not shasow banned. Just that people don't really leaks none finally updates (alpha, beta, re-release) cause of reasons.

Alright that does fit since 17.2 was at the time this thread says was last updated. Hard not to be suspicious though when other games definitely are shadow banned. Last patreon post was yesterday though and dev says they hope to release next beta build next week.

This game isn't shadowbanned... and leaking some beta build is utter useless.

A lot of games on this site have beta releases on the OP. I did not check the release number though which this thread is using a year old version. Other games I have seen will release an update and be put at the top of last updated games then like a week later the thread is buried and says last updated over a year ago because the dev said some shit or something and pissed people off.

It is not uncommon for alpha and beta builds to break save files.
Meaning, that if you try to use those save files later, in the full release, it might make the game crash.
For that reason, Runey does not post beta builds here.
And a lot of people are happy with that decision.

Because if they were posted here, then the regulars would have to deal with the screaming from people who were trying to use those save files that were created in the beta.
And possibly things that won't even show up in the full release, because the testers, who are the ones who have access to the beta builds, know not to make save files, and already reported the problem.

Not to mention the fact that if you played the beta, you would have to play the full release of it anyway, because content may have been added or changed, that was not in the beta.
Which is one of the issues that can lead to broken save files.

Beta builds: A test to see if things are working out the way that the dev wants them to.
If they don't, then things get changed, and save files are broken...

Don't get me wrong, I have seen that happen, it didn't happen here. Runey is going through some real BS right now, and has not been able to put his full time into it. Things will get back to normal once he is able to sort out a few of his problems.

 

[torresm]

A lot of games on this site have beta releases on the OP.

Public betas are treated as regular updates, closed betas depend on patrons leaking them first which doesn't happen as frequently.

And anyway, betas are usually more trouble than it's worth. I can recall one such incident with Lucky Paradox, it had a beta version leaked which the dev explicitly said would break save compatibility. You can imagine what happened when the next official release dropped.

Yes, things will get back to normal but will this thread forever remain the deadly minefield in which it was turned into?

And by saying that I probably detonated some mines and I will get some angry reactions, so anyway, let's talk about the image that Runey posted on Patreon:

Marie yes, Lin no if you look inside the residence you will see Cornwall talking to some people so the elf in the maid outfit is probably one of his (Ahem) slaves

Damn, that's Cornwall? I didn't recognized him from that distance! I was thinking that maybe it is him, but he was too far away, I wasn't sure, I was thinking that it looks too young to be Cornwall, it could be some other guy in ugly suit. Now when I know that, if I remember it correctly, his wife, had her hair in a bun, so the other person could be his wife, but who is third person?

The elves head is not flat enough to be Lin's.

 

[lostmyoldaccount]

The elves head is not flat enough to be Lin's.

But is there a mine on that elf's head? I mean, this thread was turned into a huge minefield, so there are mines everywhere. And I probably triggered some mines again. I should probably learn to keep my mouth shut and not post things that trigger mines.

I remember when someone leaked a beta of this game, once. The amount of posts clogging the thread about broken saves and things was ridiculous. Small closed betas allow devs to get feedback and correct things before a public release. Making a beta public shows that not enough people will see that it is beta or understand what that means, and it just becomes chaos.

I really wouldn't be bothered by it as long as it's not something really stupid or derogatory, I know the mods clean up these threads from time to time but they are usually pretty forgiving on a lot of things besides that if someone on the thread gets under your skin just hit ignore and keep on truckin'

I can't see one on her head, but her ass looks like it might have a mine on it.

Yeah, that's a good decision, really good, I'm more tech literate than most users of this forum (not bragging, this isn't a high bar to pass), but for The Fixer when I stepped away from it for a year or so and downloaded the latest update to check how things are it was a broken mess and I took to the forum pissed off at how butchered it was.

It was a beta version containing only the current update without much else. I've deleted my outburst and learned my lesson, but dealing with a flood of things like this would be hell, especially for game as popular as this one.
