The plot is about ending slavery as much as it is about ending poverty, monopolies, corruption, and any other type of oppression. There are 8 main stories which all involve fighting for freedom. Slice of life stuff happens too.
Translation: "I made a lot of money with this porn game and don't want to think of myself as a pornographer, so now I think the best thing to do is to take the safest imaginable political positions and beat my readers over the head with them."

When are we getting the update v18 out no update?
On Patreon is the first alpha build of the Harem Hotel. Be advise that this is alpha can and sometimes will break your save as thus is not intented for the wide audience, but for some ones who know what to do. Yet, if you suffer frome impatience, this is the first, vary rough version of v0.18.
With later alpha, beta or pre-release before the final v0.18 the game will be much more polished until most of the major bugs are squashed out and in the worst case some minor bugs will be still are, that need the later bugfix release, before Runey then moves into the direction of v0.19.

I know it's hard for you to imagine that there are other things in life than porn. Me, I love writing stories. Stay mad, stay sad.

The amazing thing with Runey is that s/he's so talented about writing on social justice (SJ) issues while retaining an excellent standard of craft, lewd sex scenes, and humor at appropriate times.

I feel like most entertainment that deals with SJ nowadays are either woke bullshit wannabe directors (cough, J. J. Abrams, cough) who use SJ as a shield to defend/sell the soulless crap they sell or full-on realistic/documentary type movies that are god-like in quality but super fucking depressing and something to watch to educate yourself, not unwind or god forbid jack off (ex Spielberg's Schindler's List).

In short, Runey's HH is basically the Black Panther of lewd games. God bless you, hope you've been able to take time off for yourself (saw your post on Patron).

I think it's funny that they think anything that could he interpreted as anticapitalist, is the "safest imaginable political position", in our very very capitalist world. Serious uneducated and big mad energy simultaneously.

I can not wait until Friday, then I can afford the newest update! I have to have me some Harem Hotel.
Version 18.0 ALPHA, which is available on patreon, is a test version.
If you get it now, you can expect a strong possibility of glitches, and it is strongly advised that you not make any saves with it.
Saves made with ALPHA releases have been known to cause crashes in full releases when they come out.
They are, USE AT OWN RISK versions.

If you do get it, make sure that you report back any issues here, so that Runey can address them.

I know, I have gotten it before, it is more so when the full version comes out, I can grab it. Right now can only really afford to grab updates, one day I will get back to full support.

Keep in mind that it is just the Alpha, not the full update. Friday is the best time to pledge though because it is the beginning of the month.
Always do, I am just only able to pay for updates, one day I will be back to supporting full time.

This discussion about social justice is confusing to me. If you consider that Runey is writing with US politics in mind, then the MC striving for freedom, is actually a conservative position. Usually, the people who strive for equality (which MC isn't doing directly), look towards the government to encapsulate that equality into law, and do oversight.

Harem Hotel is a mix of both, and I think It's very even-handed with its political/philosophical messaging. There is social justice, in the sense that Elves are facing injustice. And while the MC cares about that, he cares about his 'charges' first. This is also a much more dystopian situation, where big government is a reality, as is government surveillance. This is the result of humans wanting to be safe instead of free, the opposite of the conservative position. So, very even-handed if you ask me.

dang, just realised that the year sub I had ran out... will re-sub at end of month (I like to time payments for end/start of month, makes it easy to keep track of everything)

The mods tend to get angry when politics are discussed here, but I see the social justice comments as being nothing more than trolling...
People who will post their beliefs, or attack others for their own beliefs.
No matter what the topic is, they will try to twist it to their own needs.

The topic currently under discussion, could be about Lin's fine ass and its effects on the economy, but they will pop in and start screaming about social justice.
