VN Ren'Py Harem Hotel [v0.18 Beta3] [Runey]

[Cokane0]

I found someone claiming to have made my game and own the copyright (which I don't even do, I only own the intellectual rights because I use Honey Select) so that was illegal. On top of that, they were selling my game without my permission, and selling a copywritten game they didn't own, which is illegal. So I contacted them telling them to take down my game, which they did.

That italian website right? Had no idea that was where it started. Thanks for the gist.

Blue shirt = under 18

I think it was during a time where patreon was more antsy about any character in a game without double D's. Flat is more recognized as justice these days.

In what world does the color of ones clothes define age? I am genuinely confused. Is this some sort of internet code?

Wasnt the old default outfit essentially a blue brazier school uniform? Now her default doesnt resemble a school uniform and theyve had no issue since but its hilarious that yeah its the same character just in a different outfit (and she still comes with a school uniform to enjoy in sex scenes haha)

Yeah, I'm guessing that's the (stupid) logic. The shirt was blue, and that was too close for comfort to the Japanese schoolgirl sailor uniform to them.

But honestly, it feels more like they felt they needed to demand some kind of change to the game just so they could say that they had made a demand in response to the claim, and that was just the best they could come up with.

I guess that sort of makes sense. On the plus side the white sweater does look much nicer on her than a blue shirt would. It really brings out the hair and eyes more.

Pretty much. It's a very stupid story, but here's the gist of it.

I found someone claiming to have made my game and own the copyright (which I don't even do, I only own the intellectual rights because I use Honey Select) so that was illegal. On top of that, they were selling my game without my permission, and selling a copywritten game they didn't own, which is illegal. So I contacted them telling them to take down my game, which they did.

Then I told others on here about the website, more devs contacted this person and told them to take their game down. At this point he got very mad, all his illegal money was going away. So he decided to email patreon saying Ashley was under 18 for some reason, Patreon took one look at ashley and said "Yep, you gotta change her". I asked how and why, she's obviously over 18 and they would know that if they played the game, but patreon staff doesnt, so they said "Together with the fact that she has small breasts and that shirt means you have to change one of them." Which is almost word for word. So I opted to change her shirt, and that was the end of that.

My god, but patreon would hate my current gf.

Do you still have screenshots of Ashley in a blue shirt?

And maybe they already wrote, but I have one model Ashley with brown hair when she goes to bed with the main character? And when he wakes up already blonde with ponytails?

Sorry for my English.

So I read on twitter that new update entered pre release stages. Thing is, in some games, that would mean update in 3 days, in some, a week, month etc. What is the general trend in this game at this point? So I do not have to keep checking every day with anticipation (very rough eta is enough).

 

[Oldtoothlessbasterd]

Kulman Second time I've quoted myself with this exact message!.

Usually expect an update every three months unless Runey says otherwise!.
At least that's been how it is since I've been here, so last 4-5 updates!.
one was a bit longer but Runey said it was going to be weeks before it was due.
Not sure how close i am But its almost like...
Main Update is released,
1-2 days later bugfix update is released
1-2 days later second bugfix update is released if needed. (Usually this kills any last bugs)
1st week after update - Runey takes a weeks break.
2nd week after update - Returns from weeks break and plans next release
3rd week to 1 month after update - Work begins on next update.
2nd month after update - Initial Alpha release for patrons for BUG TESTING!. (This version can break saves!)
More work is done to content during this period and major bugs are fixed!.
So Alpha patron release is usually missing final content it is meant for bugtesting!.
3rd month after up date - next update is finalized and released
and the we start the cycle again!
"At least this is how the process seems to go from my perspective and observations"

Sorry for my English.

The Ashley in bed thing is the lighting, her hair doesn't change colour but the lighting does because it's night time.

Can anyone tell me how to avoid all the lesbian, semi-lesbian scenes in the game? Everything involving girl on girl since I've just seen too much of two girls getting all lesbian for no reason in a harem game. It's almost like I'm a minority when it comes to only wanting straight scene in a harem hentai game. Anyways, thanks in advance

 

[Oldtoothlessbasterd]

Chronoseiur I don't think its possible,
As many of them are part of a story plot for the characters involved!.

...well at least can I ask if any of those scene are avoidable? Or all are unavoidable

Unavoidable, all of them you just have to deal with it mate.

time for the skip and close my eyes, i guess... Oh well thanks for the heads up

Might I ask that who is gonna have that scene or all of em?

Lesbian relationships aren't that scary, if you like two tits, get ready for four!
And no, we can't list every single event in game that has two or more girls touching each other. This is a harem game, you should expect at least some of the women to have sexy times with other women. These scenes are a minority though, Maria is a bisexual character

oh ur the developer, ye well I guess that's fair that u don't want to spoil anything. It sucks a little bit that the game has touching moments like the one with Kali or even Liz. I've just seen too many harem games (not only hentai) with lesbian scenes, not to trigger anyone but as a writer myself, it just create this kind of conflicted feelings cuz u know I've seen harem hentai games with no lesbian (one girl devoted to one man, but harem is just a lot more girls devoted to that man without touching other girls kinda thing) (so there is possibility). Ur game is still very good btw that's why i think that it maybe worthit to rant a bit on a hentai harem game thread (since I'm pretty much the minority here) cuz I guess lesbian scenes are like the purpose for hentai harem games as of hentai game's standards. Just a random opinion from a random user, food for thoughts. Oh well, still a very good game nonetheless

Maria is my favourte

 

[ukaking]

I wasn't exactly reading all messages on the forum. but after reading the dev's last message I see that there are other people as well who didn't like lesbian content.
Personally I don't mind lesbian sex but I am not a fan of lesbian relationships, I start getting NTRish vibes. I'd have enjoyed for example Ashley punishing her old bullies, watching the maids put up a show for us, etc. But the fact that Maria is bisexual changes things for me and that too drastically. when she tries to touch and corrupt my girls I start getting angry.
there's this strange feeling that she will steal the girl from me and the other same problems that people have with NTR. and i am not saying that this game has NTR but, the idea of some other girl or boy having feelings of lust and also fucking my partner seems similar to it.
Because of this I started hating Maria to the point that I skip through a event when she is present. Even in a normal event when we don't see Maria's bisexual self in action, I end up getting very irritated and close the game several times before I complete the game. as the dev said it is a harem game so a bit of lesbian will be there so I don't mind because the game is not only for me( I am not even a patron) .
Otherwise I absolutely love this game it is one of those games which I played and felt that if I would have built a game it would be similar to this one. and trust me this is the best compliment one could give. I was enjoying going through the game a lot and if Maria was not there(or be a bit different i.e. heterosexual) it would secure the first place undoubtedly on the list of porn VNs I played.
