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

[alex2011]

Bro i don't buy it. Any female could make your pp go hard. I'm telling you, i'm sure at least one of Runey's chosen voice actress would make you so hard that you would think of me. And then you would brusquely toggle the sounds off and keep that to yourself, am i right? Runey is brilliant as fk (the guy knows how to make a dick hard) and i'm not here to change his game or anything but i just know the game would be better with sounds because the best sex is having all of your senses active (ears, eyes, touch, balance and smell). Ears, eyes and touch would be with porn games. I don't wanna flood this feed with this conversation because i know the guy is sick of this and has already loads on in mind. So i'll just let destiny decides of its fate

It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, that changes nothing. No, only one ever has, someone I actually knew personally, and I lost the chance with her a long time ago. No, there isn't a voice actress that could cause it in me, if anything I would be disgusted so bad that I would throw the game in my recycling bin before even making the conscious effort to do it. No, turning them off would no longer cut it at that point, the damage would have already been done and the game would be gone, permanently. I can agree on Runey, defintely brilliant, his writing is leagues better than most games on here, especially ones focused entirely on the sex aspect. That's true of sex, having all your senses does enhance the experience, it is not necessarily true of games. This game would be in the recycling bin within seconds of the first sex sound with me, it doesn't matter where it ranks on my list, in the top two, no game is safe from deletion for having that.

NOW UPDATED FOR 0.13 -

i got tired of looking for all the cheat codes, so i just made a (tiny) mod that replaces most of them and bypasses encryption.
unzip this file and put it in /game/scripts (create those folders if they don't exist)

You should also now get the proper notification for the code working or not

the new cheat codes are:

patreon1 = cheat mode on
patreon2 = cheatmode off
changename = change your name
elmarcomp = unlocks a drinking competition between Ellen and Maria at the bar, requires other triggers too
fixkali = use if kali is bugged at level 6 (only if using a save from before 0.5.3)
ifuckedlucy = You can now have sex with Lucia in Kali's room
spinningtv = violet joins the hotel (experimental) removed
sunlight = violet leaves
resetelves = resets all elf stats (except lin)
patreon3 = jump forward 10 days
patreon4 = $1000
patreon5 = jump to new content, with appropriate stats (I'm not 100% sure that these stats have been updated recently)
autumn = max autumn stats
felicity = max out all of Felicity & Emma's stats
bot = max out all of [botname]'s stats
maria = max out all of Maria's stats
ashley = max out all of Ashley's stats
kali = max out all of Kali's stats
lin = max out all of Lin's stats
bezos = $999,999
loveroute_nia = self explanatory
slaveroute_nia = self explanatory
loveroute_sylvia = self explanatory
slaveroute_sylvia = self explanatory
truestory = unlock incest
prime = ???

can you update 0.13.2 ? thank you

Well, this is quite literally my job, haha. I get paid to do this.

With this detailed world building, that's pretty much max dedication. I love the work. Since in my country, credit cards aren't something that everyone can just get, the only way I was able to support this game is recommend it to my other wanker friends ahaha.

 

[freedom.call]

I love this game. Kali/Lucia and Lin my favs right now. I'm falling behind on everything not level up related, it's a lot.

I wasn't fond of the android direction tbh, at the college and later. I'll be ok.

 

[Pitrik]

I stopped playing HH time ago but in the last 3-4 days I started and finished it ... Ashley's past always makes me sad all the time I play or watch that scene ... I think she is my favorite ( also if little yandere and is scary )

Those moments were meant to be bad, in the sense that she was going overboard. If we're talking about the same thing anyway. She needed a course correction.

Generally speaking, I am one of those, though I will watched dubbed in some situations, more now days due to the ability to watch them while I am working. That said, other than some bad translations, loss of cultural aspects like honorifics, and localizations, my main problem with it is that there are so few voice actors in the U.S. that do anime, so almost every show has the same voices, so if you are not looking, it can be hard to tell what show is on.

I played a couple games like that around here too, they were almost fully voiced (the women anyway), but it was all done by the same woman, so they all sound mostly the same (there just are not many who will do this kind of work, and they can only do so many voices).

The cast here is so large and varied, it would be really hard to even get enough moans to not sound repetitive, never mind being fully voiced. lol

And the file size

 

[alex2011]

And the file size

Indeed, the file size would probably double if not triple. Audio files can get pretty big.

Hey there, brothers and Runey. Hopefully this feedback shall be appreciated somehow.

This is a gem, a definitive proof that you don't need top notch animations and all the high-end stuff to make a VN entertaining. It's been quite some time since I've been this eager to keep playing a VN. Its replay value is sky-high!

Even more, with a cast of characters this good, and different from one another, it provides a great variety in terms of nice content. Go democracy!

That said, and I still have some content (I guess a lot still) to play through, I can't finish without stating:

We need waaaaay more Kali, Lucy and Autumn's content. Lucy is such a lovely one, her games with Kali are pure gold. And Kali...oh, Kali...I love you! And Autumn is such a gorgeous one, with a very interesting trait: it couldn't be more enjoyable to make somebody sees the reality about religions and just be human like we're being able to help her do so.

All in all, they are my favorites. Oh wait, I forgot to mention Emma. Such a lovely and territorial one; I love that about her!

Darn it, can't forget to mention Ellen...Yeah, five favorites. This is a harem after all

 

[Shadesishere]

that and it would wreck the voices I use in my head for them.
Am I odd for doing that? putting voices to characters dialogue?

having said that, I'm not objectionable to a larger file size if voices were added, but thats a hell of a lot of work for Runey to do/payout for.

Question! Need a way to quickly earn more money- without using cheat codes preferably. Already completely upgraded the bar, got the 10k from Kali's dad- used it on the sanctuary and the elves there then suddenly had the android break her arm putting me about 3k in debt making it so I can't do anything requiring money. Very next day I was forced into the event where Maria goes to get a DNA test and with how that ended its looking like I'm going to be needing money REAL soon.

I know and it was great in that sense, my reaction was actually more towards the MC not properly and timely intervening.
Hey, she only needed a course correction because of you!

Well, there is selling the pinups, or selling android milk at the cafe...

Might want to wait on that event for a bit...

AFAIK no money needed.

Bro you have to let go about what happened in the past with your girlfriend. You're too chained by it and because of that any newcomers you would meet, see or hear, you would reject them instantly. And that fear is one of the reasons why this game won't upgrade. It's not that you don't like sounds in games (i'm pretty much sure you watch your favorite porns with sounds all the time), it's because you're scared to accept and try something new. Stop being so selfish and let people who would want to have the game with sounds, have it. It won't change anything to the story or characters if there's a toggle option (even without it). People would hate as always (like with any new creation or ideas during the first few weeks) but as always *rolling eyes*, when they start adapting and realizing it ain't that bad, you'll start hearing shts like: "damnn lin has a sexy voice!" . People will already like it because of Runey's talent and experience (give the guy a bit of faith for god's sake). Who wouldn't want to hear Emma's voice matching with her sweet and sensual personality (it would be like bringing her to life). The first few lines would probably not be as intended 'cause everybody has a different taste but if everyone truly speaks the truth and truly want the best for this game as well as choosing the most genuine lines that match with their personality, man... You got yourself a true porn game there. Porn games are becoming fancier and fancier and having no sounds in them drop their importance massively even with a great story. But i know Runey isn't worried about competition and is working at his own pace which i respect a lot (because it is taken with care and no rush). I know it would be massive work this implementation if he wanted it to be successful, i have to admit. I also know this is a one man's project and probably doesn't has the necessary funds for it, however it would def upgrade the game's reputation and people would talk more about it. It would be a win-win on both sides if there were a toggle. People who likes it the retro way "off". People who likes it the modern way "on". It would reassemble both sides and make a greater community. It would be good for him income-wise as well.

 

[c3p0]

I don't want sound in the game. Not because you couldn't mute them, but because of the work it would be needed to be done good.

Make only sex sound in it? A few "ahh", "ohh" and any other things? It would be a waste of resource. In my eyes it would add nothing to the game, only make it bigger and waste Runey's time on this.

If you fully voice the game, it could add something to it, but would need a lot of resource, will increase the size of the game quite a lot (sure, for voice it exist codec that simulate you're whole vocal organ and could maybe be use for this...).
So Runey would need to search for voice actors that he could pay, that are willing to this and are the right one for the cast, then to have to spend several hundreds hours in supervising the recording, postwork and finally integrate them in the game.

With three major disadvantage:

• People can simple dislike the voice actor and drop their support
• Runey would need to split his work time between the add of sound and the work he already do, resulting in less game content per time unit (thus people could drop their support because of this)
• Voice actor can be unavailable for any reason. Thus either change the affected voice actor completely or change them in the game in the middle. Neither solution is a ideal one. Perfect case he find one that is nearly the same as the previous one, worst case he must redo their act (means in worst case also redo the scene where multiple voice actors are needed) and even after this task people could drop their support because the don't like the new voice actor.

So, I don't see adding sound to a game a good idea for a small people or even single person project. Additional I don't think it is a good idea to add sound in the middle of development, either do it from the start or at the end. And last but not least I don't think you should do voice acting before you have all the scene in the game that need voice acting.

It has been three years since the first post here one the zone for this game, so at least 3 years development time for Harem Hotel. So a lot could have happen to the voice actress in the mean time and in regarding to this it would be wise to do voice acting in a (relative) short amount of time to minimise this risk (and also to conserve some money).

Also "bro", you need to "chill". The other say how they see their things, same as you do. Only Runey know, if he know, what are the plans or where he takes this journey. From all the user engage here, only you want voice acting, thus I don't see that your claims that this would benefit the work proofed.

For myself, I don't know if I would mute the game or not, but I tend that I would mute it, thus I see it as a waste of limited rescourses.

 

[sub-c]

It's been 2 and half years since I last checked out this game and I seriously cannot believe the amount of effort that's been put in, I'm overwhelmed with how much more there is to experience and you've really jumped off into the deep end with world building and fleshing out the characters. I'm glad you're still quite active with the community here, given how some people can be on this site when it comes to dealing with those that want everything for free and to be catered to their every whim. You've done an amazing job so far Runey, well done and I can't wait to see what Harem Hotel is like in another 2 and a half years from now. Completed maybe?

Also, I'm not sure if you or anyone else has mentioned it before but have you considered making chapters or volumes for the updates in order to deal with file sizes? It's not a major concern for myself but I have noticed a lot of people mentioning that downloads are too large or take far too long and that with how progress is going with the game it'll be much, much larger in the future. I know nothing about coding or making games, but would splitting the game up into segments ever be an option or would that interfere with how you want people to make progress in the game with characters? Since playing a new game I've noticed you can go considerably deep into one characters story while bypassing another for quite a while, I guess that might become problematic if the game was cut up into parts?

Either way, thanks for sticking around this place for so long and putting up with everyone. It's always nice seeing developers interact with people who play their games, regardless if it's for feedback, moral support, bug fix updates or just general conversation
