Ren'Py Harem Hotel [v0.19.1] [Runey]

[Hieroglyphics]

The patreon's hit 37,000 members. Holy shit, I think the game is a hit boys. I'm not complaining about the progress on the game, but if the number is accurate, it might be worth hiring a couple people on and forming a studio.

Tis just a suggestion, don't compromise your view. Congrats on the success, hope your 2026 is much better than your 2025. I will wait patiently regardless.

Side note: I don't want to even think about the organization of this game, so many characters following their own storylines, it's kinda crazy to think that one person is in charge of it all. It's truly impressive. Seriously, probably the best Harem game on the site.

Kate is still best side-character. Ashley, Android, and Lin are still tied for favorite though.

oh wow congrats dev, and yeah I love this game. I can't wait for more of kate.

This likely includes people following the project for free.

I've seen Runey shooting down the idea before, saying he doesn't wanna add people in the creation process. Which I guess it's fair, it's his project, but even just a programmer could really expedite the process without changing anything in the creative side.

Agreed. Let him focus on the art / content and get someone who knows the code to put it together so he can start on the next set of tasks. Would also make his ideas of new content (cell phone for example) a potential usable thing instead of something sitting in the dust bin for 3 years.

I looked it up. I was confused because I didn't see a free membership option, so I signed in and indeed, 37k members are just followers. 4.5k Are paid followers. So that is quite a difference.

I'm getting tired of hearing about milking. It's smacks of envy. People can stop paying any time they like.
Sometimes people also want to pay for an experience they've had, without necessarily expecting more.

Hey, no kinkshaming here!

Agreed, it's pretty late (compared to the current content) that they turn around--but they do. If I'm not mistaken, the biggest change happens when they take MC and Ashley to the mountain cabin--they still occasionally fall back into their old habits after that, but they make a definite turn for the better. They aren't my faves by a long shot--that's Kali, and I'm not sure who after that. But they've become tolerable.

I am past the mountain cabin.

When they find the kitty is probably my most favorite part of their story so far. Especially with Emma.

I think I am just around there somewhere.

But I don't like Kali. She's just so incredibly lazy and self sabotaging all the time because of her crippling insecurities. I know, she's supposed to be the introverted gamer chick. But meh. Bottom of the list. I don't dislike her but bottom of the list.

I like the android and lin. Lin is obviously the super subby kink-slave who CAN step up but choses not to out of devotion. She has quite the comebacks at times. And the android is the same way, she's like a robot slave version of Lin. But with bib goobies :O

I also quite like the Slut with the cambusiness. She grows on me once she's past her slut phase.


The ranking:

1. Lin / Android
2. Slut
3. The Aspie
4. Psycho Girl (with knife)
5. Ellen (she's a bitch too)
6. Kali
7. The church girl (boring)
8. The twins

it is so big, that it really doesn't matter. saves usually transfers without trouble between releases unless it is a beta...

I only asked that because I remember the .20 update from Runey sounding like it was going to be really substantial, with gameplay content that will impact the early game. I have no idea how to find the comment that posted the Runey update from patreon a while back unfortunately. That why I'm apprehensive about starting a new save right now.

 

[BlackMage69]

There hasn't been an update since September 12, 2025. It would seem that it will be months before there is one, if at all. Looks like this is yet another game to delete and forget due to the dev's apparent abandonment of the game and complete lack of communication despite hinting at an alleged v 20 in the DevDiary #12 at runeygames.itch.io. It's been 79 days since the Dev Diary #12 was posted and no sign of v 20.

Why was the Android Port stopped?

When I finish the day I hear "Go to sleep" this error appears.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Why was the Android Port stopped?

Game became too big for a straight APK port. There are ways around that, but apparently no one wants to go through the trouble, especially when Joiplay already exists.

Is that on a new save? Did you upgrade from an older version, or is that a full download of the latest one?

Why was the Android Port stopped?

There are several Android ports available, for example mine.

 

[romazl0]

Damn, when will there be an update? I don't want to reread the entire forum thread.... Has anyone heard anything?

Quick steps to find this information:

1. Go to the first post in the thread (Opening Post)
2. Use one of the links there that goes to one of the pages (Patreon, Subscribstar, Itch) and look what's written there.

Or alternative ask in the thread, so that any of us, who usually don't know more than that, give you an estimation. Mine would be: between now and then.
