Harem Hotel (18+)
Dev Diary #10
Hello everyone!
It's the holiday season again! Personally I can't wait for it to start snowing in my area. Unfortunately the weather has been killing me for the last month. Back-to-back sickness with a terrible cold leading into a stomach flu... I can't even remember the last time I was sick, since it's so rare. I've been bedridden and toilet-ridden for the past 3+ weeks, but I'm making progress when I can with v0.19.
Most of the main character story events are done and just need some final adjustments. We're getting some big progress with how Autumn sees the world and her church, which is a big step towards more fun time in the bed ;) Ashley and F&E's stories will be connected again, this one should be big and will involve trying to find Felicity and Ren. Maybe one of them even be found. I don't want to spoil much, but Lin's story should also be super fun. This and Autumn's are building to be my personal favorites of v0.19 so far. Pixel is also making a lot of progress in Cyberspace, which is setting up for something big.
But here's where I'm looking for your feedback... where should I focus secondary content? I've received some great suggestions for trait expansions, such as adding new Interactions to each character. Buttslut could unlock wearing a buttplug while standing in their room. Nympho could unlock vibrators, Submissive could unlock room spankings, and Paizuri star could unlock nipple piercings. (Keep in mind all of these would only be shown in their room, and maybe with some future unlockable outfits.) But I could also put my focus towards Side Character stories, or more Explore content. What do you think? I'm always eager to hear your suggestions and feedback, so please share what you think v0.19 should include!
Oh, and how was the garden farm content? Did you guys try it out yet? With the additional of +Lust and +EXP crops, it should address issues of people feeling like these two things are too time consuming to build. So I'm very curious if the game feels better with these, along with a new source of income.
I'd also like to remind everyone that Custom Art is available again! There was a period of time where none could be made, but it's fully back now. $10+ Patrons have the ability to request Custom Art of any character, in any position or clothes (or nude). Multiple characters are available for higher tiers, and custom animations as well! You can check the gallery of Custom Art HERE or request your own HERE or at your rank's appropriate #info channel.
There's also some news about HH figurines. As you may know, Lin Figurines have been available for some time now. All the feedback I've received has been amazing, but this time I have a specific question. Would you be more or less interested in a fully nude figurine? Or maybe lingerie? Production of Kali figurines will begin soon, so I'm wondering what you guys will be most interested in.

Runey! How ya doin ya magnificent bastard?
Side content requests? Honestly, I think I want a wholesome scene between Kali and Lucia. So far when the sisters have interacted in the hotel there is a level of animosity. But after Lucia's boat event, I could fully see an event where MC and Kali are just watching TV or a movie or something and Lucia *doesnt* try to butt in or make it about her. A calmer Lucia, which doesn't put Kali on the defensive, and maybe we get a sister on each arm to watch the movie or whatever.
Here's hoping Autumn can sleep in the MC's bed and Maria's Casual Outfit can be a outfit she can wear outside of sex
About secondary content, when will there be a continuation of the story, in Caliber City, visiting the slums? The story of the man with his small food stand seemed interesting to me and the same with the girls who visit him, among other people. I would like to see more progress in that option. and more interactions with said characters that appear.
Other options that I would comment on, could there be more content for Kate, Lucia, Ellen, Sylvia, Eris, Zara? Will the slave who dresses as a pink maid with a chain and eye patch be relevant at some point? Same question for the girl from the hamburger stand who is mistreated.
As well as others that have appeared throughout the story that have not been relevant, it could be good to review and see which ones to put or take up again to advance further with those. Also review what other paths in Caliber City you can take or advance those that already exist, Surprises like that would be quite good.
Without much more to say, thank you very much for the content, grateful for the interesting stories you bring and the time you dedicate, I wish the creator good health.
Regarding the food stand, are you referring to the ramen seller in Ashley's event?
Kate, Lucia, Ellen, and Sylvia are all side characters with uncompleted stories, so there will certainly be more! I also have plans for Eris. And I really like Zara's character, so she'll most likely show up again.
Hi, how are you? You could make the side history of the Drow Elf, i think that's will be fun and different
some times when i play,i get so immersed that i forget its a porn game and thats amazing,i surprisingly dont care much for the sex part,but what i really wanted was to have more interactions with: the elves we rescue,the fairies and thr biggest one,Kate
Thank you so much :)
I would love to have more way to spend money in late game. the gardening mechanic is very cool, its always nice to have more thing to do in the hotel. I would love way more gestion (but its just because i like those kind of games so don't mind this feedback :p) Random little chat scene with the girls when navigating the hotel could be very nice. I also would like more personal non slutty info on girl menu (like height,weight,mensuration,state of mood...ect..ect)
On the sexy part, i would like that we have more tier of girl's slutty trait because only have to do 10 time butt stuff or blowjob seems little (for certain people) to be a pro at it and maybe having more difference between the girl for how much time they need to perform it. and finaly it would be cool to have watersport scene outside the donjon (maybe skipable for those who dont like that...)
Also i have readed most of my fellow comment and i agree with their idea, since you build your world and your character with passion, it make it interresting and we all want to have more of it :) and not only sexy stuff !! It's extremly rare for me with VN but your storytelling touch me (especially Lin and Ashley's story) and i'm sure i'm not the only one. I hope some of my feedback will be usefull, i wish you good holiday season.
Take care
Thank you very much for the kind words and feedback
More things to spend money on if you get way too much would be ideal. Also +1 to @psychedevil's idea of a way to change the 'obedience' for Lin (and maybe Android) to the 'affection' other characters have. Because Lin is, and always will be, best girl.
More ways to spend money is something I'd like to include. But on what?
Maybe a sanctuary expansion? As in, making it a lot bigger in both size and content- and maybe being able to rescue more elves throughout different characters stories. Because it is very very sad that you can only really 'save' 5 people right now, and I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff.
I want to say that I loved the gardening mechanic, it's something that enriches the game and makes its world much more alive, and makes room for other future mechanics like the casino (cards, 21, slots and other games).
These small interactions between you and the world make this entire urban and forest ecosystem even grander and greatly extend the life of the game, as there are so many more things to do.
And just to remember, if you feel a little unwell, rest, stop for a while, just keep us updated on your well-being, and when you feel better come back refreshed, your health is above all.
I wish you all the best.
Thank you so much :)
I'd like the non-sexualrepeatable actions for side characters (especially Ellen or Lucia), like the main girls have. Namely, hugging, kissing and sleeping together.
Maybe more repeatable actions involving two or more girls, whether sexual or otherwise.
I thought I was the only one who loved the displays of affection, no lust, just that adorable moment between the characters.
It's a good idea, but side characters have less because they're side characters, and the focus needs to be on the main characters, so they will naturally get less stuff like Interactions.
Thanks for the update on your health , I like to have some more sactum interaction, bc now all elves are just show I payed them, and maybe tweak the price buying them, because getting 5 money everyday to most of the Is a little underwhelming
The elves in the sanctuary don't pay rent, but the blue room characters are only planned to get some sexual content. Just like background characters who visit the hot springs.
I have yet been able to unlock the garden. I'm not quite sure why despite having explored the city completely and finished almost all the character stories except for Jin. haven't seen to figure out how to progress that
To unlock the farmable area, you need to discover it first. Go to the Garden, then click the gate at the back.
Yep, I found it already. I found it first and then I saw in other comments it had to be unlocked by doing some other items. So I did all the city exploration afterwards
It would be nice if you made more figurines or different types of merch so we have more ways of supporting you.
The Kali figurine is coming! I was also considering a Nero Inc mug, but what else would you like to see?
The Android (I forgot the official name, was it 'Pixel'?) is my Favorite among the girls so I would be grateful for anything regarding her, even if it were something common like stickers, T-shirts, etc. .
...But if I had a magic staff... I would make cards of the girls with NSFW Artwork. Either a regular Pokerdeck or simple 1vs1 game with a rulesset like the game called "inscryption". Have you ever played that one Runey?
(separated to keep a cleaner topic)
From the exterior view, there is room for an addition floor of the hotel. The new floor can house some side characters in order to elevate them to main character... Like Hana (damn, she's cute.) Maybe even Autumn's sister would want/need to move in due to unexpected problems at the cafe.
The extra room on the second floor can be decorated like a love hotel. Give it a heart shaped bed, big tv continually streaming porn or a video to tape the current action. Use it as an initiation chamber to initiate the girls into the harem, or for threesomes where you want to start in a "neutral" room.
The last room on the second floor is planned to be for the next main character.
The third floor is planned to include stuff like a Lounge area, where the characters will hang out instead of the utility room, and will include other stuff to do as well.
With all the talk about adding town content, How about another way to make money.
Maybe run a 3 card monte game in the slums.
Or, one of the female character could be a "house mom" in the strip club. The do not actually strip, but they provide things for the strippers like selling condoms, water, pasties, and glitter. They also sell additional outfits at a profit for the strippers.
Explore content is meant to be experienced in the early game, but will have ways to gain decent money for the early game. A better way to make money was recently introduced with the farmable garden area.
For side content, I'd like the Visit Town flushed out more and maybe add some random events for the bought elves rather than them always sitting in the room.
when can we expect this update to come out
Would there be any possibility of converting Lin from being just Obedient and Loyal to allowing for her to be Affectionate and In Love, whether as a replacement or an addition (which storywise perhaps could involve her falling in love as the main character supports her quest for elven freedom and equality)? There already has been talk about how a half-elf offspring would be treated given current circumstances, and thus Lin's willingness to consider having a more romantic relationship with the main character might open up as having a future together with children becomes more acceptable.
Yes! I've actually planned to do this for a while now, just renaming those stats at a certain point in their level.
Your Doing Fine And Should Recover Before Working On It Again, And I Suggest A Suggestion For The Game, What If That Last Room Upstairs Can Be The Protags Version Of The Android? We Know How His Grandpa Worked So Hard On The Android, So What If The Protag Basically Copied Everything That Made Android But Make It So That It's Different With A Different Person Upgraded To The Latest Version Of Androids In That Realm And Also Can Make Her Do Way More Stuff Than What The Girls Are Limited To
Hey Runey, I have 2 quick questions. 1, Is there going to be additional content for the Elves in the Sanctuary? and 2, Do you have plans for another girl to move into the last room on the second floor (The unimplemented room next to Autumn)?
I too would like to see more content for the elves living in the Sanctuary, especially Sylvia.
No character has their story lines complete yet, so Nia and Sylvia will certainly get more content.
Yes, I have plans for the next main character.
More basement content please!
Keep up the good work :-)
