Harem Hotel v0.11.2

I did like it, I just haven't gotten much past that; been playing other games. Too bad there isn't a convenient polygamous island enclave within reach, which was another games solution..

Shremedy

Which I probably just blindly clicked thru...

Shremedy

It wasn't any one thing, it was the combination of things in very rapid succession that put me off. And talking this out is helping.

Shremedy

Fair points. Again, I haven't advanced the story that far yet.

Shremedy

Well, I didn't "know" that MC proved them to be capable, I haven't played that scene through yet; I stopped right when MC brought them in. Spoiler is a good thing in this case. If by "minigame" you mean Exhibition stat development via doing something lewd in public, I liked that, that was part of what I meant by MC pushing the envelope. But he got no feedback until now about the mess, the customer complaints (which are to be fair legit points) and so forth, even though he's committed these acts in the cafe >a few times, possibly up to< 40 times...10 each for Lin, Ashley, Kali, and Android, if one maxed out their Exhibition. But Hazel only says something about it >now?< That's the aspect that just didn't make sense to me.

Shremedy

Agreed. I was cautious about Autumn for awhile... but now that scene was a good payoff for my patience so far... and we are given hints to the future too...

The Magical Gurl

when i start the game i have no letters and text

Walkiria Elizarowa

Well, at least for me the story with her fam was cute, there is one particular scene ( that I don't wanna spoiler you ), that was really sweet & it made me smile. ♡ I really hope, that you'll like it too, I'm a but worried, you won't right now @.@

Sara_Something

The history event is apart of Kali's story, although if you don't care for the lore I included two options for you to skip it.

Runey

Thank you!

Runey

As said in my previous post, MC bringing Lin and Android to the cafe served a very specific purpose, and that purpose was to prove to Autumn and Hazel that Elves (and to a lesser extent Android) is capable of doing whatever Humans can. Felicity & Emma on the other hand are spoiled brats who hate dealing with annoying people, they would quite literally be the worst decision for proper servers.

Runey

1. You are no longer the Admin of Android, and the point of this event was indeed to show Android going a bit extreme. Android's story is not complete and will continue in v0.12. The complaints you have were purposefully written into the story so they can be fixed within the story. I know it's hard to tell when you're reading a developing story though. Kali very much plays the "mom" in this event. 2. Kim knows of Kali and MC, Android is the only factor here and this is, after all, a software class. Literally anyone could have been the culprit. I think the person one would suspect least in a room full of hackers is the "random friend" that has nothing to do with the class. And again, I don't know why anyone would assume Kali's boyfriend would be the pro hacker, when Kali is literally a hacker. But Android definitely needs to be taught a few lessons, and she will be. Oh, and Android was very eager to make a friend, so she wasn't really thinking her "cool trick" would scare them. It's something fairly normal to her after all, and her whole life has been inside the hotel. She needs to learn things, and MC will teach. 3. I've got to be honest, I'm a little bit confused by this. Maria is repeating the lore I developed for HH. I'm aware history books are written by the winners, but that doesn't mean the lore I developed is somehow wrong or entitled? I think we can all agree that monarchies kinda suck haha. 4. I don't understand what you mean here either. Did you not like the mini game? 5. I think you may have missed the point of this event. Autumn and Hazel have a huge bias against Elves from the things they were taught as children. They don't hate elves, but they see them as lesser. MC knowingly brought the two people most qualified to help run a cafe. Lin after all is a maid, and Android is an AI maid. They make great servers and this is a job they're used to already. MC proved to Autumn and Hazel that Elves (and Android's to a lesser extent) are fully capable regardless of any lies they've been taught in the past. The cafe's patrons didn't really care that an elf and a robot were helping run the place. That too is intentional by design, people really don't care how they're getting it so long as they get it. As for Ashley's storyline, you realize they blackmailed a person who shot their child's baby cat and disowned them for having sex in college, right? Like he's not the best guy haha. Now at least Felicity & Emma have a shot at a good future, something their own father took away from them. And something Ashley gave back.

Runey

I'm just going to have to take a breather before I resume. Sara Something's post gives me hope that there's something to look forward to.

Shremedy

I stopped the game before I got to that. It's good to know there's SOMETHING to look forward to.

Shremedy

Yeah I got it. But....well, see my lengthy posts downthread.

Shremedy

Is the lecture hall scene a consequence of choices made during the Trenero penthouse party of several versions (and months of real-time) ago? If I can make that shit not happen, I will cheerfully go back and redo all those hours of gameplay! If it's inevitable, I don't want to waste the effort.

Shremedy

All that said, I do like the fact that Emma can go to the dungeon now, even if her scenario set isn't my favorite (and is in fact a direct match of Felicity's, which is appropriate). Petplay isn't a particular fetish of mine, but I don't mind it either. Looking forward, perhaps, to taking one or both on nude "walkies".

Shremedy

MC had a MUCH better option than to violate an explicit instruction from Hazel. Instead of the maids, bring in Emma & Felicity. Unlike the maids, they actually need the work/income, haven't been previously used as lewd displays within that selfsame cafe (only at the beach), AND are both human (so as not to offend the cafe patronage and/or the ginger's dad, assuming he survuved the heart attack. Frankly MC should be concerned about the former, if nothing else!)

Shremedy

This release got me to do something I've done maybe once before -- ragequit a pr0n game. 1. As the Master/Admin of Android (with a moderately but not extremely high Obedience number, she isn't a favorite of mine) I feel that I (as the MC) should at least have the *option* to intervene sooner at her lecture hall hacking... as in, nip it in the bud as soon as the first image goes up [Android, stop that, NOW!] [Amusing, let it play out]. MC is remarkably passive here. I personally feel strongly about the necessity of consent, I didn't appreciate having Kali give me a (way too late!) lecture on the topic when I'm pounding on my keyboard wanting to give that selfsame lecture (and then some!) to Android! You really shouldn't assume that all of your audience is thrill-seeking pervs who always to THE EXTREME thing! Even keeping what Android's privacy violating raids uncover is a little whiff, player should be given the option to decline that rather than ASSUMING we're all creepy uberpervs. Yes we peep on the residents, but they're under OUR roof, and all having sex (or going to be, at game start). Random NPC's not so much. One Out. 2. I see what you were trying for with Android's "but I just wanted them to like me!" moment, but it wasn't well executed. I can't believe that freshly-exposed/privacy-violated sisters would go with complete strangers who "just happened" to be here when these "unfortunate" never-before events happened. Human nature's first instinct is to mistrust/blame the stranger/other -- even if someone else had done the hacking, MC would have been assumed guilty! MY comment to Android would have been something like, "What's the point of even having a 'human disguise' if you blow it by doing things no human can do! 'Discretion', Android, learn what the word means!". One out, one strike. 3. OMG Maria at the museum was the picture of smug entitlement, completely oblivious to what "history" means to those who lived through it. History books are written by the winners. But at least we got some backstory out of it. Strike Two. 4. Finally we get to the MC being handed the reins of the cafe -- thirty seconds after being castigated by Hazel for the displays MC has been causing. I actually feel bad now about my "spaghetti at the wall" thought about doing more at the cafe. It would have been REALLY NICE however, if she had said something sooner. A simple "HEY, TAKE THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE!" from behind the counter would have sufficed. Strike Three, Two Out. 5. Again, thirty seconds after being told, "we advertise our place as being human-only service, don't bring your elf in", the MC brings the elf in. Along with the Android who is demonstrably unfit to be interacting with the general public until she gets a strong talking-to and or educational session first! AT the VERY least! I get it, racism is bad, MMMM'kay? but rubbing the cafe patronage's noses in it isn't the way to effect chance. Up until now, while the MC has always managed to get his way, he's done it by intelligently pushing the envelope and reacting to feedback. NOW, he's charging ahead full steam, damn the torpedoes (after being curiously passive, earlier, as noted). It seems like EVERYBODY is doing that, MC, Maria, and Android, have suddenly become selfish iconoclastic pranksters who are gonna do what they do for the lulz and damn the consequences! Oh, yeah, and Ashley dabbling in blackmail means HER (and the clones) story is taking a dark turn as well. This all just added up to TOO MUCH, and I just stopped the game and walked away from my PC.

Shremedy

That was such a wonderful scene with autumn & her fam, thank you so much for creating it. She is such a sweetheart! p.p ♡

Sara_Something

but the lewd content is fun

Bil Trewill

I mostly play for the story

Bil Trewill

Same

Bil Trewill

Awesome work Runey. Tbh I don't even play this game for the lewd content any more (though it is certainly appreciated!). I just love the characters so much, especially Lin

Gherkin Aurora

Sorry! I hope you can get it working soon

Runey

bruh, just happened to me

Brian

Update: MEGA got to 89% (5.02/5.6GB) then said "Quota Exceeded! Upgrade now, or wait 3H!". I'm waiting. >sigh<

Shremedy

Nice update. After a 60hr week it was nice to see lin again 💖💖💖

Mikeruk31

NOPY (my usual favorite) was predicting 4 HOURS to finish, and bogged down to zero progress after two (plus normal surfing). As much as MEGA annoys me, I'm going to grit me teeth and try it. It's saying one hour, after trying really hard to sell me on a premium package. Wish me luck. You're POPULAR, dude!

Shremedy

ALL of the google mirrors. [quote] Sorry, you can't view or download this file at this time. Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently. Please try accessing the file again later. If the file you are trying to access is particularly large or is shared with many people, it may take up to 24 hours to be able to view or download the file. If you still can't access a file after 24 hours, contact your domain administrator. [/quote] 5GB qualifies as "particularly large". You do realize that the *.ZIP can't be stored on a FAT (standard) USB stick any more? I've actually specifically formatted one of my 64GB sticks as NTFS to give it the capacity for files like this.

Shremedy

Nopy went through. Nice. Ehhhhh.... 1.1MB down speed. :(

AskaLangly

Which is why I ask for torrents.

AskaLangly

Yep, all down.

srksrksrk

Yup

Kyle

Already? On PC?

Runey

Both google drive mirrors are maxed out =(

Kyle

I uploaded a mirror, try that :)

Runey

Mega said to me that I've hit my quota. Drive has said that too many users have downloaded over a short time. Nopy yields a 500. Please upload a torrent!

AskaLangly

Thank you. I'm sorry PC is being such an issue.

Tehkeela Suhnrayze

I will upload an extra mirror for PC. Check back soon, and I hope you enjoy :)

Runey

I'm having the same problems as SBSK. Nopy just isn't working as a third alternative, and Google drive is always over capacity on downloads to the point it's a laughable option. To add to it : For some reason, the Nopy download resets after it hits near a gig.

Tehkeela Suhnrayze

This update is so good... thanks Runey. Your secondary characters really do bring the house down! Lucia as always my fave, but damn Hana is catching up.

Danny

I made it. I loaded my newest savegame in 10.2 and saved in the lobby. After the update, I was able to load this slot. I hope, this works for you, too.

Max

You'll have to ask the CEO of Apple, they don't allow just anyone up there nor do they allow porn.

Runey

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like her!

Runey

Thank you!

Runey

Can't extract using the third mirror, the second mirror says it's unavailable, and the first mirror cuts me off after 5GB. That's... unfortunate hahaha

SBSK

Well, glad to see the long awaited update. Great work as usual with a lot of feels, and extremely happy for Hana joining the hotel, she'll be a contender for the first place holder over Lin. What's not to love from a shy nerdy girl with a dirty mind?

clelag

no its locked behind an unlock code, truestory i think

Albino

Figure this one yet? Having the same issue

Mike Ska

This was my first time playing the game. It's so addicting :D

meganutt

Will there ever be hope for an iOS version?

SBSK

Oh! I see what the issue is, it's not bad at all. In the beta, there was a bug that didn't unlock that trait when you completed their story (my bad). You should be fine if you saw all of their story, you just wont get that trait until v0.12

Runey

Ahhhh ok. That is most likely why it would not let me download it without shelling out more money. I have not downloaded a game update this big before so I have not ran into that particular wall before.

Michael Hendrix

Mega isn't set to paying subscribers, Mega has a 5GB limit, and to get passed that, you need to first use that 5GB up, then change your IP with a VPN to download the rest. VPNs aren't just for people doing illegal things. The government in America at least is known to spy on its citizens. And cooperations do the same to figure out what to advertise to you. Using a VPN disrupts this.

Runey

v0.11.1 is currently being uploaded :) Just bug fixes, no need to install it if you haven't run into anything game breaking.

Runey

I always use mega or fileboom. But for some reason, both of them have the file set to "Paying subscribers only" or something like that. And I don't trust VPNs. That just screams "I am doing something illegal and you should watch me closer!!!!!!!" lol

Michael Hendrix

I understand, but just know I have a lot to lose too if these sites I upload to did anything bad. I look into these hosts and trust nopy fully. I've talked to the owner of the site and he set me up with the custom Harem Hotel link here.

Runey

You don't have to pay money... You can either download the mega app,use a free VPN to change your IP, or use a mirror.

Runey

Edit: I did find the nopy option. I find it a little shady but it will suffice. I am a creature of habit and I don't like to use programs I am not used to. But the game itself is worth it. You do good work, sir.

Michael Hendrix

Have to pay to access the game file, then have to pay again to download it. F-ing bullshit if you ask me....

Michael Hendrix

have completed the winter cabin part and have done ashleys part where she gets them back to college but still says story incomplete for felicity and emma.

Paul Baxter

At some point, likely from playing a beta, your game corrupted. Some values are mixed up where they should not be. The easiest solution would be to restart. I believe the issue is F&E and Ashley need to be at specific friendship levels in order to do the next story events, which would be their vacation at the winter cabin.

Runey

Thank you!

Runey

Try ignoring this error. Your game isn't corrupted, you just left off in an unfortunate spot.

Runey

This update was absolutely hilarious :D

Wildmanden

Runey you rock!

PantsonFire

Still having an issue with lucia. Does kali have to have certain stats to open up lucia?

Miked9995

Me too, and also with different save games. One is "Could not find return label (u'game/script.rpy', 1586662267, 100)" and another is "Could not find return label u'_call_delayed_mail'" - both on android

Max

Can we use old saves? Tried to use my old 10.2 and i got error screens.

The Magical Gurl

congrats on the game. i have been playing 0.11 version. all characters story say to be continued except felicity & emma, min says story incomplete? have i missed anything. have gone dungeon scenes and exhibition with them. how do you advance their story?

Paul Baxter

To kali?

Miked9995

You have to sneak around at night.

Happy Salmon

How do you start the Lucia content?

Miked9995

Awesome ❤️

do you have Russian? How to continue the game, load old saves?

Lorgar Aurelian

If we played PR2, is there a reason to download the final? I.e. were there bugfixes?

Dubsington

Congrats on the release! 👍🙂🎉🕹🎮

TotesNotThea

Thank You Thank You Thank You

Andre 3000

Awesome!
