It seems like your script was corrupted. A reinstall should fix it.

Indeed, especially when I'm trying to read. I'm not in this game for the porn, I'm in for the story.


The problem with those is they turn EVERYTHING on that volume setting off, including things you might want to keep on.

"I'm not in this game for the porn, I'm in for the story". Bruhh, you're such a lie xD Why are you playing/searching porn games if you're into story types of games. Just play Rated T games instead Imao. Yeah, i forgot to mention about toggle on/off voices for those who wouldn't like it. But i'm so convinced you guys would change your minds hearing Lin, Felicity, Emma or even Maria whisper in your ears

Well, if it is set up the right way, there should be at least 3 volume sliders, one for music, one for SFX, and one for voices, so as long as those voices are set as voices, then that should be the only think you have to turn down. Though for me, I do want to mute almost everything, about the only audio I want in a game is a clicking sound when I click on a button, at most. If they dev wants, they could even separate the sex voices onto their own slider, if they have other voices for other parts of the game.

Depending on that game's default audio settings, the only slider I will sometimes mess with is the music because there have been times where it's drowned out some important quest dialogue or similar. I'd definitely mute sex noises if they were added only because they always sound phony when used in animation especially.

Although, it could be worse. Just imagine if Runey added this to HH:

Except I'm not, I've never been into games of any kind for sexual content, even ones whose main focus is sexual content. If I want sexual content, I'll go for actual porn I don't have to interact with. I wouldn't change my mind since the sounds would be generic porn sounds and probably from a porno that I could watch without having to interact if I wanted to hear them. If you're thinking it's going to be some voice acting specific to Harem Hotel, I would suggest forgetting that idea because this is a one man project and voice acting gets real expensive real fast.

Definitely, nothing kills the mood faster than useless noise drowning out important noise like in your example. You're right, they sound fake, they rarely fit with the imagery unless the game has audio specifically recorded for it, again very expensive and not feasible for one man projects, and they are distracting. They are actually a huge turn off for me when I'm gaming, I game to game, when I want to fap, I will choose something that doesn't require interaction so I actually have hands free to do so. When gaming, my hands are on the mouse and, out of habit, WASD.

Preview from v0.14

The story of the game absorbs me, I can't wait to find out what's to come, thanks for bringing us this game

Even with real porn, I don't want audio! Mute that shit! Give me subtitles over actual talking any day! Maybe I have spent too many years trying to hide what I am doing, but

Even with watching videos, I have to interact, always have one had on the mouse or keyboard, skipping through the boring parts, changing files when I get bored, etc...

I need to do something to feel engaged. I want to care about the people and what they are doing. That is why games like this are the best.

One of the things I like best about this one is that the story and the sex are kind of two different things, while there are sex scenes in the story, most of the sex stuff is optional and repeatable, so there are two sides to this game, the story part, and the sex scenes, and generally you can do the parts you want, when you want, and with whom you want.

Is the game finished?

Not even close.

i agree... although i have to admit, a lot of the time i just don't want to spend the time having to read the story, especially if it's badly written (for whatever reason). so even if the choices don't really do anything (which is true for a decent number of VNs), skipping over everything except those provides a fairly decent overview of the story

 

[somebody cares]

Why are you playing/searching porn games if you're into story types of games

that's like saying (for say, borderlands) "why play fps games if you're into story types of games"... porn and story have exactly 0 to do with each other, meaning a porn game can be a story game just fine. also note that VNs (technically not games. but there are ren'py games that are both) and interactive fiction/text-based games are, in fact, a thing that exists.

If the story is that bad, I generally won't play it, unless it really hits a kink I can't get many other places. I just don't have free time to games I don't like that much. Hell, I barely have time to play the ones I do like!

It is rare to find a gem like this, that does both.

Agreed, the story is an absolute must. It doesn't have to be perfect, just, not bad.

Maybe I'm weird, cause I never beat the meat while playing. I think I enjoy the story more than sex scenes.

Question? I’m unable to open the save file I downloaded from others even though I replaced the old save file in . Is there like a tutorial on how to load the game with a save file that I want to?

I can confirm as much on my end, not the weird part, the other one. I'm too focused on the actual game to double task.

Try deleting those that are at this address

C:\Users\Yourusername\AppData\Roaming\RenPy

and replace your game save file.

Lately I've gotten to the point where I mostly skip through the sex scenes just to get on with the story, leaving both my heads confused. This never happened in my teenage years, goshdarnit.

When I was in my teens, I tended to skip the story and try to go straight to the sex scenes. Unfortunately, I tended to get slapped alot.

If the save used a mod, you will need that mod to use that save, try getting Lane's mod, and see if that works.

Depends for me, lately, unless I am beta testing/proofreading for someone, I rarely have time to play for any other reason, so I tend to multitask as much as I can... XD

I can't say I go that far, I still watch the sex scenes, I just don't do anything BUT watch them and move on as if they were a normal scene.
