The farming minigame (like all minigames in all games - not necessarily porn games) is just a boring waste of time.

I mean: if I want to play virtual farming there are plenty of apps in which virtual farming is the whole point.

In Harem Hotel there are two drives for which we play:
1) sex scenes
2) the story

Both reading the story and watching sex scenes is entertaining.

Virtual farming is just a mandatory sequence of mechanical clicks that the players are forced to perform to progress the actual game.

At least one hour (or two) of boring grinding with no entertainment...

I get that once coded the concept the dev can obtain hours of game play with much less effort than writing the story or rendering sex scenes... But these are hours in which users are bored, not entertained.

This can be said for the minimal amount of QTE that exist too (iirc) also, there's fucking farming now? :KEK:

Is Violet still in the game?
Nope.
Violet was a character that was added by Lain's mod.
Lain has disappeared again and the mod has not been, and may never again be updated, so it can not be used anymore.
Using Lain's mod 17.2 in this version of Harem Hotel will break the game.

No, she was a character from some big payer at Patreon, nothing to do with mods. The guy stopped paying at some point, and eventually Runey removed the content. It was never supposed to be canon anyway, but it can still be accessed in older versions if you're curious.

I thought that the mod continued it, after Runey stopped using it.
No new scenes were added, it was simply the same things that had been there when Runey had it.

Ok, just read in the mod thread that it had been added to the mod, but for one release only, and then it was removed from the mod too.

I've been a huge fan of this game for a long time, but that was one of the most disappointing updates ever. I don't understand how one sex scene took so long.
You act as if the entire update was only that one scene, and completely ignore the RL issues he had to go through during that time.

I believe it was, but she didn't make it. Runey got rid of it primarily to save space, since people are always bitching about how big the game is. So, since the supporter who requested her left a long time ago...

That and, if my memory is correct, also the scene lacks in quality to the rest of the game (cause Runey reworked erlier scene).

Yeah, that is a good point, with him redoing all the old stuff, better to drop it than redo it all too.

Its amazing how a game 6.5 years running, is still at 0.18 in its production.
As is well known to the regular posters here, Harem Hotel does not do monthly updates.
Before this last year it has been 2 to 4 average updates per year.
For the last year Runey had a lot of real life issues, including a death in the family to deal with.

And in response to Autumns story, She is devoutly religious and DOES NOT BELIEVE IN SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE. :mad:
I mean, that is hardly an excuse. We've already tricked/seduced her into doing a lot of things before marriage that she never would have done. Hell, that's like... the whole kink.

Look at her as the stereotype of a devout catholic girl.
There are many stories out there of how serious that they are about not going "there".
And considering that it is looking like she will be playing a significant part in something involved with the story, she may well be holding on to that virginity for a while.
At least until something happens that shakes her beliefs to the core, or she gets a ring on her finger...

I guess its a good thing nothing incredibly significant is happening in autumn's personal storyline that is shaking her beliefs to the core...
