Thank you so much for the awesome game! I enjoyed your writing, and the character developments have been exceptional. Also, Ally is so adorable :D
Maybe one constructive critic I could give is that there was at one point I was too lazy to spam delivery job just to earn enough money to upgrade the hotel, and it sort of feel like the story with the characters were time-gated in bad way. And it don't feel good when you're dying to push the story with a character further. I do not know if this was intentional or there are other ways to get money quicker, since I ended up using cheat code.
But despite that, I get to enjoy the lovely-crafted characters you have created, and it was worth the time spent. So, I'll be leaving you with a 5 star :)
It sounds like the first thing you did was try to buy everything you could, regardless of if it was important or not. You gain a lot of money passively and the deliveries/pinups give you far more than you'll ever need. As long as you don't buy everything ASAP, you'll never run out of money. And you won't even need to actively make money once you have the bar upgraded.
I've been trying to play the game on joiplay (and yes i have the renply add on installed), however it keeps forcefully closing itself after a few seconds of the loading screen. Ive read over the guide on how to install on android multiple times and I'm certain I'm following it step by step. Ive even tried downloading a previous version of joiplay (1.01.701) since i read another comment stating that this previous version is more compatible with phones. Sadly that doesn't seem to able to work too, as it dos the exact same thing.
If any of you reading this have anything that could solve my problem, please do say!!
1) Your game files are corrupted. It seems unlikely, since they are protected by the zip checksum, but try re-extracting the archive. This is the only reason I can see that may be fixable.
2) Your phone cannot handle the size of the game. This seems... Improbable, as the loading screen is not that big, memory-wise, but then again, it is kinda big screen-wise. Yes, it should resize automatically, but see below.
3) Your Android version is not entirely compatible with some of the features required to run the game (too old, too new, too many updates, not enough updates). There may be missing libraries, or libraries of the wrong version, or bugs, or bugfixes that introduced new bugs. For example, the game resizes a lot of stuff on the fly. This requires CPU or GPU power, and more importantly CPU or GPU calls, which may not be entirely cross-platform.
Or, something else entirely, but then I wouldn't know.
Yes. I remake old content in every update these days. v0.16 specifically added a lot of content to beginning of the game, so I recommend a fresh start and fresh download.
I have an issue with Moon. I started a new game after 1.16.1 and can't get any of her events past 4/12 to start. It just says "You should come back near closing time." but doesn't start the event in the evening.
Maria can work at the bar you just have to progress her story up to that point, so until you have her story there, Moon's story will be stuck where it is
I'm well aware. I've gone well past that but after a certain point i.e when she learns to fight, she no longer works at the bar. Thanks but that's not what I was asking.
You are right, I have the same problem. Stuck at Moon lvl 4 and can't get through it, because Maria no longer works in bar. It's the only thing I can't complete.
I have a bug. I can't select a person to sleep with after getting Android-Maria (beads) event. Previously, my available choices were Kali and Felicity. This persists after updating to 16.1. Is it safer to just start anew? (I'm on Day 80+ btw).
This bug is still persistent 176 days later. After Maria puts the beads in Android's anus, all of your sleep-with options disappear. There is no greyed out options. Your only option is "back".
love this game, i dont even like it for the sex, i love the character interactions and feel im invested in growing my actual relationships with characters
Kudos on an excellent game! I have tried a couple dozen AVN games here over the past year, and quickly eliminated most. Poor game design was usually the reason - unfriendly UI, or incomprehensible story lines. Lack of updates was the other major issue. You have managed to avoid both. Only two other games have made the grade. The character development here is excellent, and the attention to detail is superb. The story line is intriguing, and free of dead ends; also, you don't need a walk-through to navigate it. I have noticed some costume change issues, (addressed by other posters below), but no major glitches or bugs. Keep up the good work. I probably won't be moving to Patreon anytime soon, but will support here as I am able.
I really like how each new chapter adds more depth to the characters and world. When I started the game, I thought the story was just a thin excuse to put a bunch of girls in a hotel but now I care about the characters, android lifespans, and the robot/elf revolution.
I made it a goal to give the player something to care about, something to protect. And I mean really, actually, care. Not just told to care. Those connections hopefully make the player invested in their well-being and goals, which should in turn make the player more invested in the story and world. I'm glad you like it :)
U rly did a fantastic job ngl i love every character (well ash will always be in the first place (in my case) but the others aren't that far behind) and im rly exited to see where the story goes
Sorry for asking but do i need to extract archive. rpa to make it work if not how can i play, i already used joiplay but it seems it cant find the file where i extracted it cause its in. rpa... pls help.. btw im using android.. Thank u in advance
So because of the update, there's a bunch of new stuff at the beginning! This is actually my third playthrough, and its awesome to see all of the minor changes.
Question for Runey: Was the alternate dialogue there before this update? Doing events in a different order has led to different dialogue this time around, which is faakin impressive! Like, its such a subtle thing and people likely wouldn't notice it on a single playthrough, but the fact that its there is awesome!
I realize we cant really nominate this game for award or anything due to themes, but it is easily the best game on Itch.io
Early/bad events are always remade during each update (This is my first project so my skill level has increased a lot over 4 years), each event remade comes with better visuals and rewritten story in some cases. Android's early story got a lot of love v0.16, and a lot of her early story was even rearranged. (Boobjobs now happen before vaginal).
If you're looking for ways to support, this page acts as a tip jar, or you could review the game here, that always helps :)
It was the first harem game that I played and it was surprisingly very good. I enjoyed building relationships and learning more about each girl. The game itself has a lot of content, it feels more like a 0.96 rather than 0.16.
A couple of bugs: Maria's outfits in scenes seem to be bugged. No matter what I select she usually wears only 2 outfits - the one with red socks and succubus.
The last available Felicity/Emma story uses Sylvia even if she is not freed yet
By the way, I have finished many storylines and in my opinion the price for Sylvia is ridiculous. I have invested most of the money from the gift into the hotel hoping for future returns, but it left me no money for Sylvia. And it seems that the game at certain point starts expecting that I am supposed to have her. I can't progress Autumn's story for a month or so, and my money is close to zero.
Thanks, that answers my question about whether I need to download .16.1 (just installed .16 last week). And to the previous poster - upgrade the bar for cash flow.
Really enjoyed the game and story. I just noticed that we can replay all the stories in the gallery. However there are only gallery for main characters. Will there be gallery for the sub characters as well?
anyone got lucia's second event to play out? still getting the issue where nothing happens after clicking on the door and the tracker updates to 2/8. no repeatable scene unlocked and the third event plays after going back to own room
I played through this game a couple times, have been following the wiki since my first playthrough, but have never gotten the 3-some scene (2/8), always skips to the car keys (3/8)
this might be a bit different then normal. im TRYING to delete saves. its gotten cluttered and ive lost track of whats what and would much rather just wipe it all and start over with the new content ( with the cash cheat this time) but i just cant figure out how. ive deleted the save file folder in the itchio app since thats what i use but they are still there. please give me a sign oh great Gaius!
I'm not sure what the save file in the itchio app is, but it doesn't keep HH's saves (as you've found out). They are stored in %appdata%.
But there are easier ways to get rid of saves. Simply overwrite them or move on to the next page. You have an infinite number of pages. You can even rename each page and reserve one for each character.
I've found it! According to the itchio app you hover your mouse over the save file and hit the 'backspace' or 'delete' key. Cleaned all my saves up and cleared the clutter. Now down to 2 saves for the love or slave routes.
i was hopping for some cheats that jus get the status of everyone to the max without losing any story so that i can chose any choice in their story as i go thru it the cheats that already has cut so much of the story and that is kind sad you know? just my opinion, im loving the game anyway k
Hey Runey! Don't know if you remember the conversation we had a while back about your "direction" for the game... I wouldn't, if I were you & being overwhelmed with the feedback you got so far. That being said; I LOVE this update. SPOILER FOR EVERYONE WHO HASN'T PLAYED THROUGH THIS GAME FULLY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! The rework to Android's story make it far, FAR more believable, also, the Player Char actually gets to intervene with the loud voice I'd imagine he'd have - on certain topics, at least. Him "putting Ashley in her place" when it comes to Android's breast size, reminding her "how it feels like to be the new girl", is nothing short of excellent. Same goes to Kali's updates. As far as the new content goes - every single bit an piece falls into place, and while I am dying to figure out what Felicity & Emma's father is up to... and where he stands... you are doing simply everything right to push the storyline where it's meant to be pushed. Only bit of criticism I have is that exploring Calibre feels sorte meaningless, like a waste of time - that being said, that's coming from someone who never had that option previously. I didn't NEED any of that, is what I am going to say - but again, people that may be playing this game completely from scratch a few years down the line will definitely feel different about it, so my opinion is basically worthless in this regard. Only thing I would say - and I have a feeling that's on your To-Do anyway - is that I would love for Autumn to acknowledge meeting the PC before, if he did, when she joins the Hotel. Nothing more to add. Keep it up, mate! You've literally addressed all of my concerns and are far exceeding expectations. Congratulations on creating a game where the NSFW stuff is not actually vital to the game's success! :)
(Okay, last bit of tiny grief... I enjoyed Kali's previous Sleep With scene more, when she looked the PC in the eye after waking up, because that felt like a proper "lovely moment" :) If you find the time, please try to create 1-2 scenes during Event 15 (?) where the PC and Kali ACTUALLY share a bed for the first time. Thanks!)
The Explore Caliber feature is only meant to be played at the very beginning of the game. It fills in the gaps, provides a way to gain easy/simple sex, and adds a new way to make money in the early game. This should result in a much smoother experience when starting. The goal is for the player to never need to click the Advance Time button. (which is something that happened often earlier when there was less to do)
That's what I love about your updates the most - you actually address all of the criticism & critique in our mind :D
As I said then: The "Explore Calibre" won't affect me (as a veteran player) any bit, but may just do wonders for new players. Good call on your end! That being said, and I know you have it on your mind - make sure that, for example, meeting Autumn early has the appropriate effect!
Again, that's coming from someone who ignored all of the "Religion BS" in your story, including that "weaving the staff of making water move a certain way" kind of rubbish, because to me, the Church of Gaius is just one enemy to slay.
Then again, I may expect from the story what noone should realistically expect...
Question 1: This question might've already been asked, but I'm noticing the girls have special outfits when you visit them at night (really love Lin's, btw), and I'm wondering when we'll get that as an option during sex.
Question 2: When will we get the option for repeated sex with Sylvia? I notice that the option is there for Nia, even though I'm "not close enough to her yet." (Already completed all her stuff up to 0.16, so I assume that's just an incomplete part of a future build.) Loved Sylvia's scene. Deliciously hot.
I loved all the new content. I can't help but notice how this update had more than a few male elves (finally!), lol. Nice development. Really retuned my sense of them being kept completely apart from female elves and just worked to death out of sight and mind. Ken came across as very dangerous and utterly ruthless. Definitely a threat. I imagine we're going to be seeing him again. Maybe he'll try blackmailing us. ...Or maybe he's just a terrific actor and is actually running a secret network that helps elves. With your great storytelling, who knows!
I love the way that Ash has turned into a steely-eyed badass. Nia's scene was glorious. Nice musical choice.
I feel like you might be setting things up for a major outside force (the elven gods and their otherworld civilization) to show up at some point and intervene. Can't wait to find out.
Question 3: are we going to be able to have sex with Jin again? It almost feels wrong to ask, since I have so much sympathy for her. But we were able to have enthusiastic sex with her in the dungeon right after getting her, and now it's not even an option, even when she wears vines like Lin. Feels a little bit odd since we were able to sleep with the new addition to the sanctuary right away. (That part would be my only criticism, btw. I was kind of surprised she was so willing to have sex right after being acquired, especially after having been told her life would be better. Would've been nice if there'd been some kind of minor story there to build up to it.)
There are so many places in the story where I feel an urge to make a kind, comforting gesture to these girls. Or intervene and stand up for them, and just make them feel like somebody cares about them as more than objects. A lot of the new parts in the slums provoked that feeling.
Question 4: how much more development is ahead for Ann? Because I really, really want more with her. I feel like she's never felt truly loved, and I find myself wanting to give her that.
1. This feature was just added in v0.16, so if sex in those outfits is a highly requested feature then I may do that :)
2. When it's ready.
Thank you for the feedback!
3. Of course, when it's ready.
A sense of justice is something I focus on for sure, whether that is a lack of it in places, someone trying to gain it, or trying to fight for it. So I'm glad it resonated!
4. Ann, like the other blue room elves, will only get repeatable sex. You've made them happy, they got their happily ever after (as much as it can be in the current system), and are now living as free as they could hope for. And it's a big ask for a story for every character I include.
Thanks for the replies! Lol, I guess if I'd taken a moment to think past my excitement, I'd have realized the answers for myself. Q: When will we get X? A: When it's ready.
Hope I didn't take up too much of your valuable time reading that huge block. Pity about Ann, but I totally understand what you're saying. Also hope I didn't sound demanding, heh. Just meant to express my enjoyment of her character. I felt like we'd gotten more exposure to her than the other blue room elves, what with how she entered the story. But I guess part of her role was to introduce the blue room and be the first. Thanks again for the awesome update!
Hey Runey, hate to chime in on another person's post... BUT! While I understand your reluctance to give literally every minor char their own story ( I get it that it could get VERY overwhelming), you should DEFINITLY consider having them show up in some MINOR scenes ALONGSIDE major chars. Or just "special scenes" that a player only gets when&if they unlock all of the side chars. Remember that "What breast size is better?" "secret scene" between Ashley and Kali? I don't think this would require THAT much work, maybe 1 or 2 renders and the text for those pics. Additionally, while I see the WORK you'd have to do for those girls... I'd also invite you to flip the coin & see the POTENTIAL. Then again, that's exclusively YOUR call. (Though, considering how you've "built up" Dark Elven heritage with Ann, that extremist society in their former ruins AND Maria's Dark Elven heritage, there should be some conclusion to that. In my humble opinion, anyway.)
Im very often stuck on a screen that says "I should get closer to Nia". But i have no idea who it is. it just repeats this message when i click on the screen. Luckly i still can press the time forward button which gets me out of the screen.
Nia is the ninja girl. Go visit the sanctuary. :) If she's not there, make sure you're visiting in the first 2 portions of the day. Or check out the kitchen, or the garden, or the bar.
she is not listed there for me yet, guess i still have to meet her. But ty for the quick response. And when im already at it let me tell you that you made an more than awseome job at the game. I love your story telling and how you wrote all the characters. Its incredible how deep each background goes and how realistic they are with all the little traits and problems that make out who someone is.
Guessing he's having the standard "JoiPlay doesn't work" problem, but hoping you'll fix someone else's program. RenPy is just an addon needed for JoiPlay to run the game after all.
You must mean JoiPlay, RenPy is just an addon that lets you run the game. Ask JoiPlay's forums, they sometimes release broken versions and it's up to them to fix their program, not a random indie game dev. Best we can offer is to downgrade your JoiPlay to a working version, as this fellow offered.
Yeah, I shouldn't have followed this advice. If you are trying to update from an older version on joiplay, and you do that by installing the new download instead of patching it by holding the icon, it will delete all of your save files.
I'd appreciate not being blamed for your actions. When you delete your old game folder, you delete the saves folder within. Moving your saves to the new folder instead of deleting them would have been preferable.
Would have been great if you had said that instead of just saying "follow the instructions" when the only instructions provided will delete save files.
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.

Will pregnancy be added down the line?
Pretty sure runey said it would be endgame content
From the description on this page:
Planned fetishes include:
Thank you so much for the awesome game! I enjoyed your writing, and the character developments have been exceptional. Also, Ally is so adorable :D
Maybe one constructive critic I could give is that there was at one point I was too lazy to spam delivery job just to earn enough money to upgrade the hotel, and it sort of feel like the story with the characters were time-gated in bad way. And it don't feel good when you're dying to push the story with a character further. I do not know if this was intentional or there are other ways to get money quicker, since I ended up using cheat code.

And you won't even need to actively make money once you have the bar upgraded.
Yea, perhaps I did and was very impatient. And totally forgotten I can make money out of pinups.
Anyway, I hope you have a great day ahead! :D
Just to clarify, when you say "deliveries"... What exactly are you talking about? Edit: Oooh, new feature. Me likes.
Also, is one supposed to sell one's girls' nudes to get money? As opposed to, you know, jealously hoard the nudes for one's own self? :P
But no, seriously, does the game assume a "sell pictures" income?
Edit: no, it does not. Because new feature. Me likes.
Bro, you got some creativity in this history, you caugth some tears, hope you finish the game soon, gonna donate when i got some spare cash.
Hi, does anyone know the solution to my problem?
I've been trying to play the game on joiplay (and yes i have the renply add on installed), however it keeps forcefully closing itself after a few seconds of the loading screen. Ive read over the guide on how to install on android multiple times and I'm certain I'm following it step by step.

Sadly that doesn't seem to able to work too, as it dos the exact same thing.
If any of you reading this have anything that could solve my problem, please do say!!
I see three possible reasons for that:
1) Your game files are corrupted. It seems unlikely, since they are protected by the zip checksum, but try re-extracting the archive. This is the only reason I can see that may be fixable.
2) Your phone cannot handle the size of the game. This seems... Improbable, as the loading screen is not that big, memory-wise, but then again, it is kinda big screen-wise. Yes, it should resize automatically, but see below.
3) Your Android version is not entirely compatible with some of the features required to run the game (too old, too new, too many updates, not enough updates). There may be missing libraries, or libraries of the wrong version, or bugs, or bugfixes that introduced new bugs. For example, the game resizes a lot of stuff on the fly. This requires CPU or GPU power, and more importantly CPU or GPU calls, which may not be entirely cross-platform.
Or, something else entirely, but then I wouldn't know.
What languages are currently available in the game?
English and Spanish
In 0.16 U noted that u remade lots of old scenes, that means we have to restart game from the very very beginning to see those? : (
Yes. I remake old content in every update these days. v0.16 specifically added a lot of content to beginning of the game, so I recommend a fresh start and fresh download.
I get it. You have the option to tweak thing you believe will be better so why not
Are there any scenes in the updates that cannot be reviewed from the gallery?
I have an issue with Moon. I started a new game after 1.16.1 and can't get any of her events past 4/12 to start. It just says "You should come back near closing time." but doesn't start the event in the evening.
Check the wiki
Not sure if new Maria events remove her from the bar but I can't get the event to work. I did check the wiki and it said Maria had to work there
Maria can work at the bar you just have to progress her story up to that point, so until you have her story there, Moon's story will be stuck where it is
I'm well aware. I've gone well past that but after a certain point i.e when she learns to fight, she no longer works at the bar. Thanks but that's not what I was asking.
You are right, I have the same problem. Stuck at Moon lvl 4 and can't get through it, because Maria no longer works in bar. It's the only thing I can't complete.
I have a bug. I can't select a person to sleep with after getting Android-Maria (beads) event. Previously, my available choices were Kali and Felicity. This persists after updating to 16.1. Is it safer to just start anew? (I'm on Day 80+ btw).
Click on a grey option to see what you need to do to unlock it.
There are no grey options or any options at all. After clicking "sleep with someone" the bug is that all options but "back" disappeared.
This bug is still persistent 176 days later. After Maria puts the beads in Android's anus, all of your sleep-with options disappear. There is no greyed out options. Your only option is "back".
love this game, i dont even like it for the sex, i love the character interactions and feel im invested in growing my actual relationships with characters

Keep up the good work. I probably won't be moving to Patreon anytime soon, but will support here as I am able.
Thank you! Those bugs should be fixed in v0.16.1
The Autumn story is not my favourite.
But it fits the game.
My favourite is Ashley.
I really like how each new chapter adds more depth to the characters and world. When I started the game, I thought the story was just a thin excuse to put a bunch of girls in a hotel but now I care about the characters, android lifespans, and the robot/elf revolution.
I made it a goal to give the player something to care about, something to protect. And I mean really, actually, care. Not just told to care. Those connections hopefully make the player invested in their well-being and goals, which should in turn make the player more invested in the story and world. I'm glad you like it :)
U rly did a fantastic job ngl i love every character (well ash will always be in the first place (in my case) but the others aren't that far behind) and im rly exited to see where the story goes
i hate joiplay
Joiplay is the solution. Hate android for limiting us to 2GB per file in 2022.
Better yet, if people annoy them enough, I'm sure they would upgrade it. 2GB was low 10 years ago...
Hey Runey love the new update game is great as always also i love Ash new drip xD
Haha thank you
Sorry for asking but do i need to extract archive. rpa to make it work if not how can i play, i already used joiplay but it seems it cant find the file where i extracted it cause its in. rpa... pls help.. btw im using android.. Thank u in advance
Make sure you are following the guide.
So because of the update, there's a bunch of new stuff at the beginning! This is actually my third playthrough, and its awesome to see all of the minor changes.

sorry for asking Runey..i just wanna know where to put my previous save file..i've check every single file and not find it..can you help me?
I am not sure where you put your save files, but they are stored in %appdata% by default.
So where to put the old save file on android?
how do I update my already existing game? my save file has over 20,000$ on it and is past day 500, and I don’t want to lose it
edit: nvm just download the patch folder and read the file titled “read_me” then follow the instructions.
It was the first harem game that I played and it was surprisingly very good. I enjoyed building relationships and learning more about each girl. The game itself has a lot of content, it feels more like a 0.96 rather than 0.16.

These bugs have been fixed in v0.16.1
There are many ways to make money, both passively and actively. I recommend those methods when you need more money.
Thanks, that answers my question about whether I need to download .16.1 (just installed .16 last week).
And to the previous poster - upgrade the bar for cash flow.
where does the save data get stored on MacOS? I have V.015.1 and would like to carry over my save data to the new dl.
Really enjoyed the game and story. I just noticed that we can replay all the stories in the gallery. However there are only gallery for main characters. Will there be gallery for the sub characters as well?
The gallery is in need of a huge update, it will come.
The "Others" tab is for Side Characters, and as Runey mentioned, could use a lot more existing events in there.
anyone got lucia's second event to play out? still getting the issue where nothing happens after clicking on the door and the tracker updates to 2/8. no repeatable scene unlocked and the third event plays after going back to own room
Check the wiki at the top of this page, it may help you.
I played through this game a couple times, have been following the wiki since my first playthrough, but have never gotten the 3-some scene (2/8), always skips to the car keys (3/8)
this might be a bit different then normal. im TRYING to delete saves. its gotten cluttered and ive lost track of whats what and would much rather just wipe it all and start over with the new content ( with the cash cheat this time) but i just cant figure out how. ive deleted the save file folder in the itchio app since thats what i use but they are still there. please give me a sign oh great Gaius!
I'm not sure what the save file in the itchio app is, but it doesn't keep HH's saves (as you've found out). They are stored in %appdata%.
But there are easier ways to get rid of saves. Simply overwrite them or move on to the next page. You have an infinite number of pages. You can even rename each page and reserve one for each character.
I've found it! According to the itchio app you hover your mouse over the save file and hit the 'backspace' or 'delete' key. Cleaned all my saves up and cleared the clutter. Now down to 2 saves for the love or slave routes.
i was hopping for some cheats that jus get the status of everyone to the max without losing any story so that i can chose any choice in their story as i go thru it the cheats that already has cut so much of the story and that is kind sad you know? just my opinion, im loving the game anyway k
Good news! Those are patron codes ;)
sad that i don't have money to be one... but well at least you told me about them k
Hey Runey!
Don't know if you remember the conversation we had a while back about your "direction" for the game... I wouldn't, if I were you & being overwhelmed with the feedback you got so far.
That being said; I LOVE this update.
SPOILER FOR EVERYONE WHO HASN'T PLAYED THROUGH THIS GAME FULLY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
The rework to Android's story make it far, FAR more believable, also, the Player Char actually gets to intervene with the loud voice I'd imagine he'd have - on certain topics, at least. Him "putting Ashley in her place" when it comes to Android's breast size, reminding her "how it feels like to be the new girl", is nothing short of excellent.
Same goes to Kali's updates.
As far as the new content goes - every single bit an piece falls into place, and while I am dying to figure out what Felicity & Emma's father is up to... and where he stands... you are doing simply everything right to push the storyline where it's meant to be pushed.
Only bit of criticism I have is that exploring Calibre feels sorte meaningless, like a waste of time - that being said, that's coming from someone who never had that option previously. I didn't NEED any of that, is what I am going to say - but again, people that may be playing this game completely from scratch a few years down the line will definitely feel different about it, so my opinion is basically worthless in this regard.
Only thing I would say - and I have a feeling that's on your To-Do anyway - is that I would love for Autumn to acknowledge meeting the PC before, if he did, when she joins the Hotel.
Nothing more to add. Keep it up, mate! You've literally addressed all of my concerns and are far exceeding expectations. Congratulations on creating a game where the NSFW stuff is not actually vital to the game's success! :)
(Okay, last bit of tiny grief... I enjoyed Kali's previous Sleep With scene more, when she looked the PC in the eye after waking up, because that felt like a proper "lovely moment" :) If you find the time, please try to create 1-2 scenes during Event 15 (?) where the PC and Kali ACTUALLY share a bed for the first time. Thanks!)
Thanks for the feedback!
The Explore Caliber feature is only meant to be played at the very beginning of the game. It fills in the gaps, provides a way to gain easy/simple sex, and adds a new way to make money in the early game. This should result in a much smoother experience when starting. The goal is for the player to never need to click the Advance Time button. (which is something that happened often earlier when there was less to do)
That's what I love about your updates the most - you actually address all of the criticism & critique in our mind :D
As I said then: The "Explore Calibre" won't affect me (as a veteran player) any bit, but may just do wonders for new players. Good call on your end! That being said, and I know you have it on your mind - make sure that, for example, meeting Autumn early has the appropriate effect!
Again, that's coming from someone who ignored all of the "Religion BS" in your story, including that "weaving the staff of making water move a certain way" kind of rubbish, because to me, the Church of Gaius is just one enemy to slay.
Then again, I may expect from the story what noone should realistically expect...
Question 1: This question might've already been asked, but I'm noticing the girls have special outfits when you visit them at night (really love Lin's, btw), and I'm wondering when we'll get that as an option during sex.
Question 2: When will we get the option for repeated sex with Sylvia? I notice that the option is there for Nia, even though I'm "not close enough to her yet." (Already completed all her stuff up to 0.16, so I assume that's just an incomplete part of a future build.) Loved Sylvia's scene. Deliciously hot.
I loved all the new content. I can't help but notice how this update had more than a few male elves (finally!), lol. Nice development. Really retuned my sense of them being kept completely apart from female elves and just worked to death out of sight and mind. Ken came across as very dangerous and utterly ruthless. Definitely a threat. I imagine we're going to be seeing him again. Maybe he'll try blackmailing us. ...Or maybe he's just a terrific actor and is actually running a secret network that helps elves. With your great storytelling, who knows!
I love the way that Ash has turned into a steely-eyed badass. Nia's scene was glorious. Nice musical choice.
I feel like you might be setting things up for a major outside force (the elven gods and their otherworld civilization) to show up at some point and intervene. Can't wait to find out.
Question 3: are we going to be able to have sex with Jin again? It almost feels wrong to ask, since I have so much sympathy for her. But we were able to have enthusiastic sex with her in the dungeon right after getting her, and now it's not even an option, even when she wears vines like Lin. Feels a little bit odd since we were able to sleep with the new addition to the sanctuary right away. (That part would be my only criticism, btw. I was kind of surprised she was so willing to have sex right after being acquired, especially after having been told her life would be better. Would've been nice if there'd been some kind of minor story there to build up to it.)
There are so many places in the story where I feel an urge to make a kind, comforting gesture to these girls. Or intervene and stand up for them, and just make them feel like somebody cares about them as more than objects. A lot of the new parts in the slums provoked that feeling.
Question 4: how much more development is ahead for Ann? Because I really, really want more with her. I feel like she's never felt truly loved, and I find myself wanting to give her that.
1. This feature was just added in v0.16, so if sex in those outfits is a highly requested feature then I may do that :)
2. When it's ready.
Thank you for the feedback!
3. Of course, when it's ready.
A sense of justice is something I focus on for sure, whether that is a lack of it in places, someone trying to gain it, or trying to fight for it. So I'm glad it resonated!
4. Ann, like the other blue room elves, will only get repeatable sex. You've made them happy, they got their happily ever after (as much as it can be in the current system), and are now living as free as they could hope for. And it's a big ask for a story for every character I include.
Thanks for the replies! Lol, I guess if I'd taken a moment to think past my excitement, I'd have realized the answers for myself. Q: When will we get X? A: When it's ready.
Hope I didn't take up too much of your valuable time reading that huge block. Pity about Ann, but I totally understand what you're saying. Also hope I didn't sound demanding, heh. Just meant to express my enjoyment of her character. I felt like we'd gotten more exposure to her than the other blue room elves, what with how she entered the story. But I guess part of her role was to introduce the blue room and be the first. Thanks again for the awesome update!
Hey Runey, hate to chime in on another person's post... BUT! While I understand your reluctance to give literally every minor char their own story ( I get it that it could get VERY overwhelming), you should DEFINITLY consider having them show up in some MINOR scenes ALONGSIDE major chars. Or just "special scenes" that a player only gets when&if they unlock all of the side chars.
Remember that "What breast size is better?" "secret scene" between Ashley and Kali? I don't think this would require THAT much work, maybe 1 or 2 renders and the text for those pics.
Additionally, while I see the WORK you'd have to do for those girls... I'd also invite you to flip the coin & see the POTENTIAL. Then again, that's exclusively YOUR call.
(Though, considering how you've "built up" Dark Elven heritage with Ann, that extremist society in their former ruins AND Maria's Dark Elven heritage, there should be some conclusion to that. In my humble opinion, anyway.)
Im very often stuck on a screen that says "I should get closer to Nia". But i have no idea who it is. it just repeats this message when i click on the screen. Luckly i still can press the time forward button which gets me out of the screen.
Nia is the ninja girl. Go visit the sanctuary. :) If she's not there, make sure you're visiting in the first 2 portions of the day. Or check out the kitchen, or the garden, or the bar.
ty very much for your response :)
All important characters show up in the info (i) screen, Nia is under Side Characters
she is not listed there for me yet, guess i still have to meet her. But ty for the quick response. And when im already at it let me tell you that you made an more than awseome job at the game. I love your story telling and how you wrote all the characters. Its incredible how deep each background goes and how realistic they are with all the little traits and problems that make out who someone is.
How do you advance Vanessa passed lvl 1? I've had the exclamation mark and finished everything else but can't figure it.
Check the wiki at the top of this page, there's a guide.
Thank you, I must be blind.
You've created an excellent story!
the dev must be from the gulf coat i can smell the salt in "corpus caffe" and "a little town called Rockport"
Cant start on renpy how to fix it
Why are you downloading Renpy? This is Harem Hotel.
Guessing he's having the standard "JoiPlay doesn't work" problem, but hoping you'll fix someone else's program.
RenPy is just an addon needed for JoiPlay to run the game after all.
You must mean JoiPlay, RenPy is just an addon that lets you run the game.
Ask JoiPlay's forums, they sometimes release broken versions and it's up to them to fix their program, not a random indie game dev.
Best we can offer is to downgrade your JoiPlay to a working version, as this fellow offered.
I'm having trouble with Sylvia Slave route i'm stuck at event 4/5 any hints how to finish it?
This bug was fixed in v0.16.1
how do i trigger it then? i flipped the hotel upside down and couldn't do it
It doesn't exist.
Can these previous versions be removed when adding a patch?
So far I haven't patched, just downloaded the bigger versions
Please don't delete required files
No, just follow the READ_ME
How do I update on joiplay for android?
Follow their instructions I assume
Yeah, I shouldn't have followed this advice. If you are trying to update from an older version on joiplay, and you do that by installing the new download instead of patching it by holding the icon, it will delete all of your save files.
I'd appreciate not being blamed for your actions.
When you delete your old game folder, you delete the saves folder within.
Moving your saves to the new folder instead of deleting them would have been preferable.
Would have been great if you had said that instead of just saying "follow the instructions" when the only instructions provided will delete save files.
Again, please do not be rude.
Nowhere in the instruction does it say "delete your saves".
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.....
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.
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.
