So aside from the rating, which I still think you've done a great job on the game.....
I do wish that there was a possibility to bring the Side characters and Autumn down to the dungeon... besides that I think you have a pretty solid adventurous slice of life harem series .
Extra feedback: Now that you incorporate the City maybe you could make additional dates/outings there or even send out different characters to work side jobs?
also since there are other cities mentioned and even the Ascendants and Elves islands - maybe you could build a story line around opening up another hotel and it's intertwined somehow with it.
I would say this game out of most on here is very close to " playing "an anime, because of the character story lines, the art style and the variety of circumstances - very good job so far. Can't wait to see more.
Suggestions are always welcome. Side characters joining the dungeon has been a plan for a while!
Which dates/outings and jobs would you suggest? Most of those locations in Caliber are in repeatable dates right now.
The Ascendants are based in Caliber, which should have been made clear. And you've been to Syl'iath (the elf islands) in Lin's story (where you met the High Elf Queen)
And thank you! When writing the story for HH I see each story event as like an episode in a season, and each arc like seasons in a show. These shows being each main character's storyline. Each of these "shows" are leading towards something bigger, like a "movie", where all the paths will connect for a while. I also take cinematic inspiration from movies and some anime with good cinematography. Eventually I want to add themed music to each/most events but that is a bigger undertaking.
So I got a new machine and started over from the beginning. Have to say that the new intro material was really well done! Keep up the fantastic job Runey!
When you're in the kitchen for Sylvia's event and the choice comes up, "hear her out" or "Leave," just seeing that option there, to walk away after that build-up... I bust out laughing! XD I couldn't stop. Don't even know why I found it so funny, but the instant I read "Leave" I laughed so hard!
Loving the update so far. There's so much I'd like to talk about, but I know this isn't really the place for it. Keep up the amazing work!
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 207, in script call call _gl_test File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 390, in script $ gl_test() File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 207, in script call call _gl_test File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 390, in script $ gl_test() File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 390, in <module> $ gl_test() File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 317, in _m1_00gltestgl_test _gl_performance_test() File "renpy/common/00gltest.rpy", line 342, in _gl_performance_test ui.interact(suppress_underlay=True, suppress_overlay=True) Exception: CoreAudio error (AudioQueueStart): -66681
Can you add Vietnamese to this game, Runey? I also study English but it's pretty much not enough to read the story's happenings fully. I quite enjoyed the plot but was hindered by the language. Just my own opinion
I do see many people translate their own language into their own mother tongue. What are the two people who translate Chinese? I saw in China that they put your works into a paid website for members to download after machine translation.
Sorry, we can't do anything about your internet. At best we can advise to choose a different download source - Runey offers multiple in case one gives you problems.
Odd event I came across in new version of game. When I click on Autumn's door on Thursday which is day 95 for me. It says "She is at work right now". But when I click on Maria's door and it starts her event. Autumn is with her.
Crap. I didn't know you needed that. Also, I'm at Corpus Cafe on a Sunday when Autumn is suppose to be at church. She's also treating the MC like she doesn't know him. I know it's Autumn, cause she told the same story about her and her sister working there after their parents built the cafe. Maybe I'm doing the whole game wrong and missing alot lol. I still enjoy the game though. I know you worked hard on this cause I'm a programmer.
I think you missed the part that said "WARNING: THESE SCENES ARE MEANT TO BE PLAYED AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE GAME" at the beginning of the explore content.
So I had to start the game completely over for this version? lol I guess I did missed that part since I like to continue a new version of a game where I saved from an older one. Sorry about that. It took me too long to get to day 100 :P
More seriously though, Harem Hotel has not had an official apk since v0.12, as .apk has a limit of 2gB, which the game has long since surpassed, even at 90% compression. Fan ultra compressions exist to bring it below that threshold and thus allow it to be an .apk, but it will have severely reduced image quality, especially as the game gets bigger with each update.
- I've just found out that moving the game files to SD card, saves aren't working and generating correctly. It may be an issue already on Joiplay. - Retaining the game files to the main storage of a phone will make the saves work and generate.
- Anyway you could try to figure this out Mr. Runey because it's kinda big game and playing it from SD card would relieve my storage misery.
We've known that's an issue for a while (one of our Discord members is waiting to get a phone with bigger storage because it doesn't function on SD card).
As Runey said though, he has no control over that. Could be worth asking JoiPlay, but it may be a similar result.
Autumn bugged? Whenever I try to talk to Autumn, it tells me I need to raise Lin's friendship. However, Lin's obedience is already over 100. What is going on?
a bug I encountered: Im not sure if this is just on Maria’s bartender outfit, but at some point in time I bought Maria’s bartender outfit, and it never showed up as purchased. I keep trying to purchase it again, but it just keeps saying “you just bought this item.”
Not a bug - if you buy it, it has been bought. When you buy things, it tells you to pick it up when it's delivered, which you get a second notification for when it does, usually the next morning. Check your mail via your front door.
Gotta say, I know some wouldn't consider her the "main" girl, but my favorite by far is Ashley. Love her Yandere attitude, and hope we get to see more of it in the future! I rarely sub to Patreon and I know your info says the games free but you deserve it. Considered me subbed on payday. 😂 Plus the custom photos benefits too good to pass on. Definitely getting some of Ashley lol.
Android,Download the joiplay and joiplay ren'py plug-ins,Unzip the game package, open joiplay,Click on (+),CHOOSE a name on the first line, fill in the game version number 0.16 on the second line, click on the third line to find the path to the game file, find (Harem_Hotel.py), click on it and then click Choose in the lower right corner.
First download the game, then unzip it, and then download Joiplay and Joiplay Ren'py plug-ins. Use the Joiplay simulator to add a game. Find the running program in the game file, and start the game after adding. You can Google search for Joiplay usage.
When characters receive new story events, they are after the previous events, so no you're fine. Runey has remade some early events, but those are more for upping quality and rewriting dialogue he feels isn't his best, etc.
The only "missing out" is the new early game explore content - you can absolutely still play it on a later save, but it will feel off chronologically (eg characters who know you acting as though they don't), because it was specifically made to make the early game more active.
Yes, without restarting you will miss out on remade content, and newly added story events to the beginning of some character's story. Android specifically has gotten a lot of work done to her early story.
This is why I have a special recommendation for v0.16 to do a fresh install and a new save, though it isn't necessary.
I just want to say that I absolutely love the changes to the story that I've seen so far. The interpersonal interaction changes really are quite precious.
Follow the instructions above, as always. We'd also recommend moving your saves from the old game folder to the new one before deleting the old folder, so you don't delete your saves.
I moved the game files to SD card. The saves are still there but the game can't read the saves and it creates a new one. I can't see where the new saves are stored now.
If you are going to notice the address bar, the saves are already in the "saves" folder. But there are no currently new saves (phone files) formed. And then the old saves aren't loaded.
Huh, I failed to notice the entire filepath and have inadvertantly made a fool of myself. I honestly don't know then, as that should have worked. My limited knowledge of mobile gaming can't help any more than I have tried, so hopefully someone else can help you find a solution to your issue.
In all honesty watching this game evolve has been great Runey & I've hardly stepped into the new content and I'm already impressed again. Now I have something else to play besides just playing Sonic, Pokémon & MW2!

What does the patch do?
Updates the game.
Ahh thanks for the information
The sick scene with all of them and ally helping is really heartwarming. :-3
Glad you enjoyed
When I try to open the game, I get this:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While parsing C:\Users\otora\Downloads\Harem Hotel\Harem_Hotel-v0.15.1-pc/renpy/common/~BROMIUM/000atl.rpy.
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xd8 in position 24: invalid continuation byte
I've never seen that before. But we're on v0.16 now, that error is from v0.15.1
I'm happy to see an update! :-D
I look forward to your feedback :)
Uh oh. I tried to do it via the Patch method and I got this:
[code]
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 233, in script call
call _splashscreen from _call_splashscreen_1
IOError: Couldn't find file 'images/v15/welcome2.webm'.
I'll try d/l'ing the full 10 gig version and see if that works.
Did you install this on v0.15? Or v0.15.1? This seems to imply you didn't have v0.15 at all, and patched v0.14 to v0.16.
Previous file said .15 full.
.16 Patch files were added to data, as instructed and overwritten.
.16 full finished d/l'ing and it is starting normally.
Something is clearly different between the two.
FWIW, same thing happened for me, install was previously patched using the v0.14 -> v0.15 patch.
So aside from the rating, which I still think you've done a great job on the game.....

How to install it on android?
Read the "How to play on Android" above.
Thanks for supporting Runey with the always repeating, same questions, mate :D
can't unpack files from the .zip :/
Do you have winrar or 7zip?
I'm on Linux Mint, so I've just been using the extractor that comes with it
I don't know anything about Linux, but I use winrar.
So I got a new machine and started over from the beginning. Have to say that the new intro material was really well done! Keep up the fantastic job Runey!
Thank you!

I get an error any time I try to open on mac is anyone else having this issue?
What's the error
Sometimes I get no error but the game still won't open sometimes I get what the other guy said
Can you add Vietnamese to this game, Runey? I also study English but it's pretty much not enough to read the story's happenings fully. I quite enjoyed the plot but was hindered by the language. Just my own opinion
Since I only speak English it is up to volunteers. No one has offered to translate Harem Hotel into Vietnamese unfortunately.
Version 0.16 for Mac fails to start - it fills some debug text in TextEdit and closes.
I can't answer this question " What is seen near the end of january and february that cant be seen at the beginning either month ". Help me pls :((
if i remember good its the letter R
Thank u very much :D
Hello,Has the game considered adding Chinese？
It is less about consideration and more about people volunteering to translate over 500,000 words into their native language.
Two people are currently translating Harem Hotel into Chinese.
I do see many people translate their own language into their own mother tongue. What are the two people who translate Chinese? I saw in China that they put your works into a paid website for members to download after machine translation.
建议你们检查一下翻译人员。他们很有问题。很遗憾在中国这样的事情不少...由于在中国传播色情作品是非法的，所以常常有人试图借此盈利。虽然这并非意味着没有人愿意免费或者收费做翻译工作。
Sorry, we can't do anything about your internet.

I can fix this if I know Maria's level at the time of this bug.
Crap. I didn't know you needed that. Also, I'm at Corpus Cafe on a Sunday when Autumn is suppose to be at church. She's also treating the MC like she doesn't know him. I know it's Autumn, cause she told the same story about her and her sister working there after their parents built the cafe. Maybe I'm doing the whole game wrong and missing alot lol.

I think you missed the part that said "WARNING: THESE SCENES ARE MEANT TO BE PLAYED AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE GAME" at the beginning of the explore content.
This is partially why I recommended a fresh save.
So I had to start the game completely over for this version? lol I guess I did missed that part since I like to continue a new version of a game where I saved from an older one. Sorry about that. It took me too long to get to day 100 :P
No, you don't have to start over. Those scenes are meant to be played at the beginning, so I recommend a fresh save.
Can anyone help me? I just downloaded the zip file for android and don't know what to do next
Read the "HOW TO PLAY ON ANDROID" guide on this page
You have to get her Obedience up, first. :P
下载joiplay模拟器和Ren'py插件，解压游戏后用joiplay 在路径找到游戏文件，点harem_hotel.py运行Game。没中文，The game language is not Chinese.
Wherever you left it.
More seriously though, Harem Hotel has not had an official apk since v0.12, as .apk has a limit of 2gB, which the game has long since surpassed, even at 90% compression.

Hummm, i play on android with the game at SD Card and my saves are storaged on Android/data/cyou.joiplay.renpy
If i remember correctly, when the Game is not on SDcard the saves goes directly to the game folder at "Saves"
Try moving those Saves to the Android directory from inside storage that i just mentiones.
If you already knew this then just ignore me xD
Runey, Just wondering if you will continue to remake old events.
Yes
Autumn bugged? Whenever I try to talk to Autumn, it tells me I need to raise Lin's friendship. However, Lin's obedience is already over 100. What is going on?
Obedience and "Friendship" (Relationship Level as of v0.15) are different things, hinted by having different words.
Advance Lin's story.
OK thanks!
a bug I encountered: Im not sure if this is just on Maria’s bartender outfit, but at some point in time I bought Maria’s bartender outfit, and it never showed up as purchased. I keep trying to purchase it again, but it just keeps saying “you just bought this item.”

but, you see, I have gone to my mail box after that, and it has never shown up. I forgot to mention that sorry
help me pls ! the game doesn't want to start even if i have extracted the file, i don't know what to do, it's the 3rd time i download it...
Android, Google Play→ joiplay + joiplay Ren'py.
I KNEW IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO PLAY SINCE BEGGINING AGAIN, Thanks for adding cool details on Android's story Runey, she's my favorite girl
Thank you! I was hoping to finish more of her early game story in v0.16 but I didn't have the time
I'm stuck on Lin. It's said she's had an event for quite some time, and I'm even at the point that I bought her sister and still nothing.
Check out the wiki
I figured it out, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the game so far! Had to pull myself away from it 😂 Looking forward to future updates
Thank you!

Thank you,I like your game.More Elven Queen content.
How do I implemented the v0.16 PC patch to the previous one? Where do I extracted it?
Read the READ_ME
I'm doing the progress to play 0.16 version in Android, but it's not working, it stays on the loading screen but then closes, what do I do?
This sounds like the installation instructions weren't perfectly followed.
I did the installation process as it says there, but it doesn't open anyway and I already redid it several times but it doesn't open
Android,Download the joiplay and joiplay ren'py plug-ins,Unzip the game package, open joiplay,Click on (+),CHOOSE a name on the first line, fill in the game version number 0.16 on the second line, click on the third line to find the path to the game file, find (Harem_Hotel.py), click on it and then click Choose in the lower right corner.
You tried this? works? i tried start with this path, but doesn't work anyway
First download the game, then unzip it, and then download Joiplay and Joiplay Ren'py plug-ins. Use the Joiplay simulator to add a game. Find the running program in the game file, and start the game after adding. You can Google search for Joiplay usage.
Followed the ReadMe to a T for patching v15 and it fails to open the game with an error of v15 menu not existing
how to use the patch?please!!
Read the ReadMe inside it.
how do we get the new cheat codes added this new update? anyone have them
Patreon
im quite deep in the story, will I miss any early story content from the new update?

How do i update the game on Android?
Follow the instructions above, as always.
We'd also recommend moving your saves from the old game folder to the new one before deleting the old folder, so you don't delete your saves.
My progress was lost after patching.
Your save files are stored in a separated file from your game, so patching alone shouldn't cause that issue.
I moved the game files to SD card. The saves are still there but the game can't read the saves and it creates a new one. I can't see where the new saves are stored now.
Browse the new game files until you find the folder named "saves". Drop your old save files in there and it should work.
If you are going to notice the address bar, the saves are already in the "saves" folder. But there are no currently new saves (phone files) formed. And then the old saves aren't loaded.
Huh, I failed to notice the entire filepath and have inadvertantly made a fool of myself. I honestly don't know then, as that should have worked. My limited knowledge of mobile gaming can't help any more than I have tried, so hopefully someone else can help you find a solution to your issue.

Your welcome as always
Well I know what I'm doing for Christmas break... Time to restart the game cause its been a few months.
Literally everytime I start to wonder where the game is at I take a look and it's been up less than 24hrs already 😂😂
Finallllyyyyy
