Really depends on how high you aim.

My first NSFW game had about 4000 words and a single girl, so I was able to make it in like 3 weeks (although the text already existed before that).

For HHR, I've been tweaking character designs and story details for several months in advance, then once I started properly, making version 0.1 took about 2 months, and 0.2 roughly another 1.5 months, and some people say it still feels like a demo, so...

> Can't you give everything you have from the game to someone who might want to continue it? (For payment or voluntarily...and upload the latest update.) That would be very nice.

I'll consider it.
Finding the right person to keep the 'spirit' and quality might be difficult though, since most people on that level already have some project of their own.
I've also not completely given up on the idea of returning to this game one day yet... but yeah, making the game "open source" might be an option.

Edit: Btw, the only reason I haven't uploaded 0.3 yet is because the last segment of the last new story scene was rushed and I wasn't happy with the result, so I'd like to fix at least that before releasing that update.

Don't click on any links in the comments!
The bots are getting smarter, and are now posing as itch io staff/support/update service etc. (or infecting unfortunate real accounts who clicked on those links), disguising their virus links as patreon links and so on.

Don't fall for it!

I would never post links in the comments, and links by anyone but me are practically guaranteed to be some form of malware or scam by this point.

Thanks, everyone :)
So far, people have shown more understanding than I honestly expected... which ironically boosts my motivation to return to this game one day.

I still can't promise anything; I don't want to raise any expectations I might not be able to fulfill in the end, and I still want to get some smaller projects "out of my system" first, before I might consider giving this one another try.

I just want you to know that all this support means a lot to me, and I hope to make up for it one day.

Sorry to disappoint, but while the Garden of Venus part is true, for a number of reasons we won't be returning to HHR anytime soon.

Devlog about it will follow.

Random crashes even at the title screen suggest that your phone doesn't like the Ren'Py engine revision TM uses, so apart from updating that to a newer RenPy version in a future patch, I don't know to what degree I can improve this.

I was planning to give TM at least one more update, so this is something I'll definitely look into, I just can't guarantee it'll fix the issue.

Does "My Naughty Neighbor" or "Heroic Harem Resort" work equally bad, or does one of them actually run better?
They use newer RenPy versions, so knowing that might help figuring this out.

For the record, these downvotes (on previous attempts to somewhat explain things, too) are one big reason I'm at a complete loss what to do here.

if those people would at least put into words what their issue is, I might be able to somewhat understand the problem.

But mere downvotes only tell me they dislike *something* about it, but not what exactly that 'something' is, so I can only speculate.

You need to disable donations as well (aka make it completely free), then you should get reindexed automatically.

Looking forward to the update :)

Yes, I use Ren'py.
You can export animations as vp8 or vp9 encoded .webm video files from Koikatsu and then play those in renpy.

Koikatsu (with lots of 3rd-party mods; using either HF Patch or BetterRepack is recommended).

If you have pregnancy enabled, late in the game (after finishing the chapter 2 main story, basically) you can tell each maid whether to take contraception or not.

If they don't take it, there's a random chance to impregnate them every time you do it inside, but the chance increases every time it fails, so eventually it'll happen.

Then there'll be a notice in their character info screen saying they're "probably" pregnant, which unlocks 2 pregnancy scenes (1 SFW and 1 NSFW) for them on the carnal crystal.

Hope that helps.

> Can you get them pregnant?

Yes :)

> and if yes could you take care of the baby with the female character

No, sorry...

It has no explicit visual content at least, only some explicit language.
Whether it's suitable for playing it with family, well... depends a bit on the family ^^'

Summer's Eve by Stefan Großmann :)

IMPORTANT: Don't click any links in the comments, especially those claiming "new update" etc.!

The bot spam is currently pretty bad, don't fall for it.

The official downloads above the comments section are the latest/last version of the game.

This is news to me... that sounds like your phone/Android might not like that particular Ren'Py engine version TM uses, or that your phone may not have enough RAM for the videos.

Are you playing any other RenPy games that are more stable on your android?
If yes, could you give some examples which ones?

For the record, the hardware requirements of the animations in particular are relatively high.
TM ran very poorly on my old Samsung S4, too.

Still here :)

Me and xtone are just busy finishing Garden of Venus first.

As long as possible, I'll stay here.

Yeah, in terms of story there isn't much yet.

It's still a very early release.

Thanks for enjoying it :)

And no, tbh there's no deeper meaning to the exhib score, it's just flavor here, sorry.
Might be something to consider for future games, although I can't guarantee the "less clothes" route, since that's a lot of extra work, at least if we want to be thorough and apply the outfit changes in most scenes (limiting it to specific sandbox content would be an option, though). 

Sorry, I guess I overinterpreted your comments.

It's just that some others have asked similar questions before, and in their cases it was more along the lines of expressing disappointment and that if these girls had any actual relation to those from TM, it would make the TM ending meaningless or something like that.

The problem in general is that giving clearer answers would be spoilers.
Generally speaking, they're based on TM girls, yes.

> Why would it be considered a negative?

Some people seem to feel cucked by 'their' TM girls (or girls based on them) getting in contact with the HHR MC.
That's the only explanation I have, honestly.

Plot-wise it's not justified, that's all I can say without spoiling too much.

Not yet, but the first option for that is coming in 0.3.

The game isn't meant to be too grindy, so it shouldn't be necessary to grind mushrooms in advance. But I guess the standing limit of 10 was set a bit low.

There's a bug that requires an update anyway, I'll raise the limit to 20 while at it.
Edit: done.

The update is bigger and was more work than the number and length of new scenes alone suggest, but I understand that it feels pretty small if you go only by new events.
Fwiw, 0.3 is bigger than 0.2 in terms of new events, and 0.4 is planned to be bigger than 0.3, and those updates will be on a 3-week cadence.

That 0.2 took so long had different reasons.

Not yet, and it may take a while and won't play much of a role in this game.
Maybe a handful of sandbox options at some point.

Edit: OK, I just saw the comment where I said it would arrive 2 weeks later... not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that...

But 0.2 will become public when 0.3 arrives for patrons, and that'll happen by middle of next week.

La escena es una opción con Emily. Tienes que haber invitado a Leyla a la mazmorra al menos 1 vez y Emily debe haber elegido el "rough doggystyle" al menos dos veces.

The scene is one of Emily's options. You have to have invited Leyla to the dungeon at least 1 time and for Emily must have chosen the "rough doggystyle" in the dungeon at least 2 times.

I hope that helps.

This was just a bugfix update, to prepare for the next real update.

Next update (0.2) will add content again, including some story progress.

Not happening, sorry.
Target audiences and personally not being comfortable with it aside, it would cause some complications for the story, too.

The progress has been good over the last couple of days, but I'm not there yet.

I have an internal target of the the 9th (early next week) for the patron early access.
Public update would be about 2 weeks later.

No, sorry.

It's possible the story will one day get continued in a Total Maidness 2, but there are no concrete plans for that right now.

Thanks, and I will, don't worry :)

Only in the crystal scenes, sorry.

Probably closer to end of May.

But I'm working on getting it done as fast as possible.
Sorry for the delays.

Sorry, still wrestling with some challenges.

Still hope to have it ready sometime in May (for patrons in any case, public soon after).

1. It was never about recycling assets.
Designing new character models is my favorite task during development.
I'm sitting on a bunch of good models that may never get used.
I had to brush up the TM-based models for HHR quite a bit to make them 'competitive'.
Adding characters based on TM girls was more an "emotional attachment" decision than anything else.

2. HHR was my 2nd "IP", TM my 3rd (not counting the discarded ones in between).
I'm also just into stuff like worldlines and alternate realities in general.
Think more "Fate/stay night" or "Steins;Gate", though.
My only noteworthy contact with DC Comics stuff was the first 2 Arkham games, so no idea about the degree of similarity.
Generally not much of a fan of western stuff, honestly.

3. I don't really care much about success or money.
In fact, I kind of expected in advance HHR would be less popular than TM.

Only the crystal scenes, sorry.
