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

[TheDevian]

As has been said many times before for various reasons in this thread.
The dev cannot make everyone happy.
That is impossible, but you are one of the few who has complained about Maria.
Her involvement in various scenes play a critical role in the development of various main characters.
If those scenes are made optional, then anyone opting out will not understand the critical role that she played in helping those characters to grow.

There is a keyboard shortcut that allows people to fast forward past content that they do not want to see, and I am sure that one of the other regulars can post it for you, because I forget what it is at the moment, because I never use it.

As for android, well, Maria was still growing too, and understands now more than she did what it is like to be seen as a lessor being.

Skip key is either holding CTRL or tab, IIRC. Though you will likely need to turn on skip unseen for that.

IIRC, there was a bit of pushback on that scene when it first came out, but it was not constructive, so we mostly ignored it and mocked the people who did it. Most of that was just about not wanting to share with her, not about anything else. I didn't really like her abusing that code all that much either, but hey, I also understand what it is like playing with something that is new to you...

Maybe it's changed, but I vaguely remember that scene being part of why she started seeing her as more than just a toy, but it's been years, so my memory is fuzzy... But like I said, I see it more as her letting her curiosity getting the better of her, mixed with her need to play the dominant role on occasion (which we don't let her do to us, thankfully).

What I would like to see, is her helping us dom the others, as our assistant/helper, in a 3-(or more)-way, or maybe even in the fungeon. Like we could go down there and gang up on Hana, fucking her and using some of her toys on her. XD
There are a few characters who might enjoy that kind of thing.

I have v15.1 right now. Can I proceed with the update only without v16.x? Or do I need to download the game again?

Unless you can find 16's patch too, you will need the whole thing.

where can I access KALI's university. I am at the point where proceeding kalis storyline will close out Vanessa (which I cannot start, as I just do not know where to look for the university...)

any advice how to access it?

(playing 17.2)

edit: figured out how

 

[Lilmike]

Any savegame with the vanessa path?

does anyone have a full save for this? i know it is kind of lame when people come here and want to just get the end of game and claim that they lost their computer - but i had to re do my bootcamp and failed to copy the renpy files....

don't really want to go through buying all the outfits/building the bar again....

Multiple saves have been posted for v17 - you'll have to search and find one in your particular version of the patch

Speaking of Maria, I just got the scene where she goes after Android with anal beads.

Problem is, Maria is currently a slave being held somewhere else (I got the 'blood test' event where she got taken away, but haven't had the money yet to buy Sylvia to start getting her back)

That issue happens when you spend too much time focusing on the events of a single, or only a few characters in the game.
You really need to try to spend equal time with all of the girls.
That way, events play out in order.

There's no way to speed up Maria being gone, I think. She comes back after about two weeks. In my most recent playthrough, that scene with the Android happened many months (game time) earlier before her being taken.

You're right. I just got to the very end of Autumn's content because she's a favorite and I was so interested to see where its headed, but I haven't even been able to buy all of the elves yet and move that part of the main story along. It feels like I made money a lot more slowly this time around than the last time I made it this far into the game.

I just hit some major story milestones for Kali, Maria and Android, so I'm keep them all up to date around together. Need to get the others to the same level.

Oof, gonna need a check in place for that too.

Ya a “completed” tag is not the best indicator of quantity/quality of content … when choosing what games to dl & play from here.

The nature of how the developers of h-games make a living doesn’t lend itself towards striving towards “completion”... you want to look for a project with regular significant updates, a good amount of developed quality content, & if those criteria are met typically the project will be rated well. The individual game thread will often have posts that touch on the developers reliably & quality of content.

HH has lots of content & the developer is very consistent with updates and bug patches. The developers schedule feels slow but it ISN’T because every update has CONTENT …they have NOT ever put out an “update” with little to no substance in an effort to milk their customers.

Hope this info is helpful in your search.

However if you are ocd about a story being FINISHED I can understand that as well.

That being said … I have seen MANY COMPLETED projects that don’t have 1/4 of the total content that the un-complete HH has.

I know how amazing this game is. I played this long time ago and after I played, the dev changed the game's starting scenes. When the game is not completed, you can see the content but there is no ending. You play but there is no point. I'm not playing NSFW games to watch mc and girls fuck. I mean, that's not the main point of it. It's just a good top up. And when it's not comleted, that means story is not written enough to an ending. You can watch porn to jerk off. NSFW games is something else. Story is important.

Yet, that "completed" prefix - it is no tag, yet beside the technical view point that changes nothing - does only state that the a dev see his game as complete, Nothing more and nothing less.
This can mean, that the good story, pace, atmosphere and so on of a game can be ruined with the latest update of a game, that gives the game the completed prefix, simple because the dev wanted to have a closer to his project and move on.
So, I agree with Strike-10 and the complete prefix isn't a good indicator, as well as game size, game version numbers, .... are neither.

The game being posted here in its incomplete state allows people to try the game out, or play as it's chapters are released.
That helps the dev because people can report bugs, before the final full game is released.
The game is extremely story driven, as it is more of a visual novel than a game.
There have been multiple complaints from people in the past, who were looking for games where all that they need to do is fuck.
And the story content made them angry, because they had to click through all of the story to get to the sex.
Harem Hotel is not a click and fuck game, it is a story of revolution, with sexual elements.

There is no way for anyone to say when the game will be complete, and it is doubtful that Runey the dev can even give anything more than the vaguest of estimates.
Because Runey is not creating this game for a living as a full time job, Runey has a real job, and works on Harem Hotel as a hobby.
The game literally has too many developing story components that are still being worked on, and the occasional bug that pops up and needs to be fixed, for any estimates other than maybe some time in the next year, or two, or maybe, depending on Runey's free time, three...

I don't completely disagree with the points that you're making, but some of us very much do play these games to jerk off, lol. For me, the sex scenes of any game are the core. The story, and the relationships between the characters, make it more interesting, give it more depth, and can make the why and when of those sex scenes hotter. Its like reading a hot erotic story, but with interactive control over the pacing and hot visuals.

Personally, whether a game is completed or not ever is mostly irrevelant to me. If its good, I'm always going to want more content, and I'm always going to want the dev to work on improving the UI and the other technical aspects.

As I have said many times here before over the years, 'There are games I play for 'satisfaction', and some I play for the story/game itself, but this is one of those beautiful games where I do it for both.'

I certainly prefer both, but I need the sexy stuff to have an interest. I've tried a few on here that are really well made and really well written...but the sex scenes are few and far between, and that's just not what I'm here for. I love the setup of HH, because other than being in the middle of a long story episode, I can just hook up with one of the girls any time that I feel like it, and bounce between that and the "talks" as much as I want. Its ideal, and the leveling up aspect is wonderful on top of that. Gives it a feeling of accomplishment, rather than something that's just passive.
