The thing is, normally since version 1.09 getting lewd massages as sandbox options should mean you're already at relationship 4, not 3.
Though fyi, only scenes that aren't repeatable and raise the relationship are added to the gallery, the repeatable "sandbox-only" options aren't in the gallery since they're, well, repeatable anyway.
The new update (1.09L) has a fix attempt for this (it should set RS to 4, if lewd massages are already unlocked).
If you haven't already downloaded it, try that one.

For the savegame, something like workupload.com would be easiest, but if you prefer a different file hoster that's fine, too.

The one in the garden unlocks a different easter egg scene, unless you disabled dreams completely.
Otherwise, check 'Dreams -> Special Dreams' at night.

Ah, no. The item is in the MC's bedroom right above one of the 2 plants inside the room.

Ok, I just checked the code.
Apparently, the item only appears when
- Iris is currently cleaning your room,
- at relationship 5,
- and you also already found the kitchen item for her Halloween event at some point.

I had forgotten that I made it this specific, sorry ^^'
I'll remove at least the halloween item requirement in an upcoming patch, since it doesn't make much sense.

Ok, I took another look at the code.

Simply put, if your relationship with her is exactly at 3, the only possibility how "Enter" doesn't trigger her relationship 4 event and the "Talk with Leyla" option is missing as well, is if you already got a (lewd) massage from her before. Which shouldn't be possible, unless you already somehow managed to triggered that event earlier than intended. But from the code surrounding the options, it doesn't seem like that should be possible... unless you did so on an older savegame from version 1.05 or earlier.

I was going to upload a new polishing update soon anyway, I'll include some minor code changes that might fix this for you.

But if you're on PC or know how to access the saves subfolder and could upload me your savegame, I'd appreciate that a lot, because I'd really like to check whether my suspicion is correct and if there's possibly some actual bug still lurking somewhere.

It's (very) close to one of the plants in the room. Maybe I made it a little too small...
I guess I should mention that once you click on it, it disappears, so it's not impossible that you already clicked it without noticing.
Maybe check the christmas options in the main menu again to make sure, if the Iris 2023 Xmas scene is already listed there, you already unlocked it at some point.

Hm... when you click on her door in the evening, but don't enter and instead choose "Talk with Leyla", what does it say?

Glad to hear it :)

The hotfix is only for updating 1.09(b) to 1.09c, sorry.
It doesn't contain any of the new images and animations.

If you're on PC, I guess you could try copying the "cache" subfolder from your 1.05 installation to an installation of 1.09c.
Since the info what lines have been seen doesn't seem to be stored in savegames, that's the only data I can think of that might be responsible for storing this info.

Though 1.09 makes a pretty big engine jump from Renpy 8.0.3 to Renpy 8.3.7, so no guarantees that this works and doesn't break everything ^^'
Definitely make a backup of the 1.09c cache folder first.

All that being said, 1.09 adds only 3 new types of content:
- The showers in the westwing and eastwing,
- some very late-game beach bonus events,
- and some very late-game marriage options.

No other new content in the main game sandbox or story, so if you completed all content that was in 1.05, identifiying the new content should be fairly straightforward, because anything not listed above isn't new.

Emily needs to be at relationship 4 to finish chapter 1.

Provided you've given her at least 2 compliments already, chosing the "take a nap" option in the afternoon should get you the relationship 3 scene (it can be that you'll get the afternoon dream first, in that case you need to choose "Take a nap" on the next afternoon again).

After that, if you've given her a 3rd compliment, you should only need to choose the "Talk with Emily" option on her door in the evening to get her relationship 4 scene.

What's really important is that you need to have downloaded or updated to version 1.09b or c, because the original 1.09 unfortunately still had a bug that prevented reaching relationship 4 with Emily.

Haha, well, I didn't really set up the TM world to legally allow marrying multiple girls ^^' (in hindsight, maybe I should have?)

The idea of this feature was mostly to give people who have a clear favorite among the girls the chance to marry that one girl.

But I'll make a mental note about this for the future ;)

Assuming you're using a browser,
-> Go to https://itch.io/my-collections
-> Go to the collection you want to edit
-> Hover over the game you want to remove, there should be a Remove button on the bottom-right

Can't help you with your mom though, sorry ^^'

There's unfortunately a mistake in the story hints if you get Leyla to relationship 5 "too early".
However, you should be able to still "Take a walk with everyone" (option on bed at noon or afternoon), it's only the hint that is wrong.

The story hint will be fixed in the next patch, sorry for the inconvenience.

For Claire, probably yes.

Cindy and Mel canonically aren't really the marriage types... but I guess one could argue they'd probably agree to marriage if you impregnated them, so maybe I'll add their options, too.

I forgot to mention it in the changelog, but in the new update it's now possible to "Re-negotiate loan interest rate" after the epilogue to try and get a better result (including unlocking Claire, if she wasn't unlocked in the story).

Hm, what is her relationship at?
Normally, with the 1.09b update, it should be possible to get her to relationship 4, and then the last dreams should become accessible.

> Edit. Are both of these events the ones on the main menu?

Yes.
I forgot to change the message in the Memories section, sorry.

Hm, have you enabled pregnancy?
Her last dream requires pregnancy on (you can change that any time in the games' settings).

If you mean the dream before that, go to the dream settings on the bed and make sure you've selected the "dirtiest" option that enables all dreams.

If none of this works, I need more information (what the hint says, at what point in the game you are etc.).

I'm afraid that's the only way in the current version of the game, sorry.
Well, if you're on PC and can access the savegame folder, you could upload your savegame on our discord and let me or xtone flip the responsible variable to force it, I guess.
Otherwise, if you can wait 3-4 weeks, I'm working on a final content update for the game right now, and I could add a cheat to force-unlock her (on the laptop in the MC's room), or an option to "renegotiate" later if the negotiations didn't go perfectly.

Do you still have a savegame from right before the interest negotiation at the bank?
The status suggests something went wrong during the "negotiations" with her, so the only way to unlock her would be to redo that part, I'm afraid.

There will be at least 1 more update, yes :)

Currently there's no official spanish translation yet, no.
But if we add some translations later, Spanish would be the first choice.

It's basically complete, yes. There won't be any more story or new characters, at least.
There might be 1 or 2 more smaller sandbox content updates, though.

Huh... that sounds more like an itch.io issue, honestly.
Maybe try downloading it through a browser? With Firefox on PC, I can download the APK just fine, so the download as such doesn't seem to be the issue.

Do you mean the download fails, or the installation afterwards?
You could try downloading it through the itch app, if you haven't already.

If that doesn't help, I'm afraid you'll either have to get Joiplay + RenPy plugin to try and play the PC version on Android (you can find info on that if you google it).

Oor wait for the next update I guess, where I'll probably use a newer APK compiler that is hopefully more compatible with newer Android versions.

I wonder if I'll ever manage a TM content update without overlooking at least one serious bug or UI issue ^^'
Anyway, fixed in 1.05a, thanks for reporting it!

It was planned when I made the options, but those scenes didn't make it into the game.
So yeah, her switch is technically redundant right now, but I'm hesitant to remove or hide it, since that might lead to unwanted results if I ever actually add one of the memory scenes I had planned for her.

Someone with similar problems suggested downloading Joiplay with RenPy plug-in, to play the PC version on Android.

We'll look into updating the native Android version with a newer compiler soon, although I can't 100% guarantee it'll fix the issue.

Yeah, that's all.
It unlocks 2 scenes per girl on the Carnal Crystal's "Fruity Futures" category, but there won't be any belly growth or children in the regular game loop, sorry.

It's considered finished, yes.

About future updates, never say never, but there are no concrete plans as of now.

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.

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.
