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

[torresm]

might be worth mentioning, does/will it work on v0.19
oh and would it be possible to make a mod that will randomize the outfit used during sex scene? hmm but looking into it, I think it would be too complicated since the outfit choice menu after choosing the sex scene is mandatory

It works, it just won't include the new nude outfits, which might be an upside since I've heard some of them have errors attached. I'll update the mod once the public release comes out, or if that takes too long I might just try fixing the errors myself.

And thanks for the suggestion, tbh it wouldn't be that complicated to implement. I could also just add a "Random" button on that menu instead of removing it entirely.

Heya guys sorry if it has been answered but how to use the cheat codes. I tried the pc but it shows the code as wrong

Cheat codes have changed in v0.19.

the script for this game is a mess. i think he's making enough money to hire someone who can code. if you haven't learnt by now you're not gonna.

Completely agree. The fact he had to get outside help for the garden component shows that his coding skills are a limiting factor by now, and we've had some game-breaking stuff in recent versions coming from silly mistakes in the code. Having a dedicated programmer would both help with cleaning up his old code, and leave him free to focus on the creative side.

Did you skip reading the OP? I am guessing you did. Actually, no, not guessing. I know you skipped reading it. You may want to take a moment and familiarise yourself with the warning on there.

You think you're being funny, but you're just showing you have no idea what SilentType was talking about.

I've been wondering, setting aside beta issues, how well does your mod work with the walkthrough mod?

Looking at some of the garden code, the person he got help from isn't the best either...


garden = {
"attributes": {
'plot_tier': GardenPlotTier.SOIL,
'bug_event_probability': 0,
'plot_destruction_probability': 0
},
"inventory": inventory,
"plots": [
create_garden_plot("Left"),
create_garden_plot("Middle"),
create_garden_plot("Right")
],
"shop": shop
}

objects exist for a reason, there's no need to make everything dicts.(renpy can serialize objects just fine)

Exasperated, my man. People complaining about "poor coding" for a beta version are just daft and obtuse.

What makes you assume the code they're complaining about is new to the beta version? Much of the poor coding in the game has been around for multiple iterations by this point, which means it predates this beta version by a couple of years.
You're either being disingenous, or you legitimately didn't consider that's the poor coding they're referring to. Which is it?

" If a Beta version of the game gets leaked, such as v0.19 beta 4, then start a new save. Do not load an old save! Wait for a full release to play on your main save. "

If that's the case, then fucking KEEP THE WORKING VERSION IN THE OP FFS!!!

I've been wondering, setting aside beta issues, how well does your mod work with the walkthrough mod?

I'll be honest, I didn't notice the WT mod has a new version out already. It should also work fine in theory, but maybe hold off on using both together until I make sure it does.

What are the stats needed to unlock the nude outfit?

Affection/obedience at least 15, both exhibition and submission at least 10, and the following friendship levels:

Lin: 42
Kali/Ashley/Maria: 26
Android: 27
Felicity/Emma: 32

The entire codebase is fucked. Not that it couldn't be cleaned up in about 2 weeks by someone competent, but right now shit is being piled on shit. I would recommend not talking about things you don't have a fucking clue about.

I haven't opened up the source code, and have no experience with RenPy as an engine, but a little bit of Python experience (ML, mostly) but once you start hiring people to do things, then your expenses on a game increase dramatically.

And when making a game in Python, who give even half a shit about optimization? If you cared about optimization, you wouldn't build it in RenPy. I like the story of Harem Hotel so far, and you are probably right about their code being terrible. Their code doesn't have to be good for his story to be good. Go look at the code for Undertale and see if that dumpster fire stopped it from being a good game. It probably also kept it from having any expansions or anything, and yes, Runey might be shooting themselves in the foot by making things in a sub optimal way, as far as maintainability goes, and it will probably delay updates coming out.

But long term, as long as the game still gets updates, and they continue to communicate with their community, they continue to get paid. Hiring a programmer doesn't really help, as it would be a large drain on resources, while also eliminating some of their long term income. As a consumer, I'm willing to pay $25 for a game once, but not $5 a month for 7 years, but enough people are, that option B is a viable model for a game creator. So the code will probably be rage inducing for a long time to come, because there is little benefit to the person who can fix it to do so, and no benefit at all to hiring someone, even on a temporary basis, to fix it.

whats even happening in this game at this point? i haven't played in probably a year or close to 2 years. are any of the character stories complete or close to being complete?

In terms of completion: we really don't know. Runey said he had ideas for several years out and that was before he was on a yearly release schedule.

I'd wager, we're past the 50% mark but how far beyond it is anyone's guess without getting word directly from him. His participation here has dropped to virtually nothing after the last set of drama last year, so you'd have to hit discord to see if anyone there had/has an answer.

TheDevian might know, assuming he's not still banned over recent garbage.

There's one update a year and the developer has largely focused on world-building above all else. Which, that's his prerogative, I don't begrudge him whatever he wants to do with his own game. You're best just checking every six months or so like I do.
