The first thing that I do with every game, is turn off the sound in the game.
I generally just turn off the BGM in RPGM games. Some VNs actually to benefit from the music in some scenes. I really only turn off SFX when a creator starts spamming them because "funny"

Also yeah the thought of adding ai voicing sounds absolutely fucking terrible, it already kills me that the girls have AI voices in the first place.

Depends on the game for me. It's almost always way too loud, but that aside, it comes down to whether it really does anything for the ambiance. It's a weak part of HH IMO--not bad, really, but it just doesn't do anything for the experience with very limited exceptions (and I think Runey knows this, as there are notes in the game to the effect of, "hey, you really might want to turn on your sound for this next part"). OTOH, it's very well-done in Eternum--I'd started playing that with the music off (after having played HH), and started over when I realized what I was missing.

Some VNs really have killer soundtracks, even when they consist only of the royalty-free music. Superhuman is a good example of this, thanks to it I discovered Teknoaxe, Myuu and few other awesome artists whose music happen to be royalty-free.

When's Version 19?
It's a fair question, ignore the sarcastic replies.
Runey apparently just got back from one of his famous illnesses. You know, the ones where he just can't work on the game for seven weeks, doesn't communicate anything about it until afterwards, and pretends he isn't just trying to keep people on the $10 Patreon tier a little longer.

They'll probably be another beta out in a couple weeks, but it's hard to predict further than that since he's on his BS again.

Before or after he himself post here the new update of the game?
I found it very amusing that one of the few devs that is/was active here, interact with the community, post the game for free here, getting shit by some of the very same community. I don't know what he currently is doing or what the might or not might have, but my stance with this is the same since the beginning.
  • We are dirty pirates

  • We shall be happy with almost any of the devs that are here and interact with us
  • We shall be even more happy if any devs release their game here for free themself
  • We shall not attack the dev in person or any of his supporters for the only reason they support him (it is their money to do so)
  • We have every right to decide with our feet, regardless if we are supporter or not
  • We should try to be civilised

1. Piracy is immaterial, the full release of the game is free.
2. Runey doesn't post anything here except the occasional comment, and tbqh, he doesn't come off great in most of them. 3.IDK what you're on about, we DL the game with same links as everyone else, and it's weird that you're acting like it's some great service he does for the F95 boards in particular.
4. I can assure you, I have not (and will never) attack Runey in person :KEK:
5. This makes no sense, did you have a stroke? If you're trying to express I'm free to leave, that's true, but I'm also free to stay.
6. We should! Like not gaslighting people about what's going on when they ask a fair question (standard for this thread).

You're wrong. In the past he was here, we talked with him, then as often, his visit become more seldom and even more.

If you don't like something, don't support it aka buying or download it and playing. Therefore, decide with your feet. And no, I don't have a stroke every time some strange kebab in a space suit write something on a message board.:whistle:

Yes, I do like giving answer to questions that we have been answer by themself if their use a little of their own time and check the links in the OP (Patreon, Discord, Twitter, SubscribeStar or itch.io). Or I can simple state unknown as it is 100% precise but also 100% unhelpful, alternative would be ?, perhaps and a vary more of the same, regardless in how many words you write it, the answer to "WhEn UpDaTe?" is simple unknown.

Agreed, but let's be honest, some people just like to cause issues.

Updates come when they come. Asking when it's coming will, at best, delay the actual release. Best case scenario.

Worst case scenario it significantly delays releases when people who are irrationally impatient are consuming a dev's time because they have to be told what they probably already knew. It'll come when it comes.

Especially a game like Harem Hotel which has a notoriously slow development cycle. Especially when dealing with people who feel entitled to know every little detail of a person's life and who when being told a person was out of commission for 7 weeks, responds, "Bullshit, this is a conspiracy!" Incidentally, your life sounds spoiled if you've never lived with someone who can go whole weeks maybe only having one or two 'good' days where they're symptom free and not drugged out of their mind dealing with the 'bad' days.

You know, the ones where he just can't work on the game for seven weeks, doesn't communicate anything about it until afterwards, and pretends he isn't just trying to keep people on the $10 Patreon tier a little longer.
If you want to micromanage employees- which any good manager would tell you is a terrible idea- you should contract out a studio, not pretend that paying 10 bucks on a Patreon entitles you to that. If you dislike the idea of supporting this project.... don't? There's free releases and the dev usually produces huge amounts of content per update.

First of all: I AM A STACK OF FLUFFY GOLDEN PANCAKES, AND I HAVE BEEN TO SPACE! WHO THE F#%& ARE YOU?

Second: You know you can just ignore questions if you don't feel like answering them? It's easier to do that than to post images giving trite meme responses.

Third: Just because I can leave, doesn't mean I have to, I can also stay, and point out what I am seeing. If you want to exist in a hugbox, try Bluesky (or Runey's discord).

IDK where to even start with this...
You seem to have jumped from "asserting that the dev is dishonest" to "harassing them online for updates". Which is weird, because all I did was point out that he dipped out for 7 weeks with a flimsy excuse (which he has a history of doing). Unless he's stalking these boards like a creep, people asking about updates here costs him 0 time.
I also don't get how "slow roll progress on the game since I'm being paid monthy" qualifies as a "conspiracy", for reasons beyond the obvious that a conspiracy requires two or more people.

Also, now Runey is somehow chronically ill, and only has a few good days every few weeks? Yeah, sure, that's way more likely to be the truth. :KEK:

This game has an *absurd* development cycle for what it is, he's making six figures a year off of this very basic VN, and has been doing so for 5 years.

Gotta say... you're more than a bit incoherent, my guy ;)
