Ah, yeah I still don't see Harem Hotel coming to steam soon. But we'll see.
On another note, my plans did change about a year and a half ago when my life became chaotic. I've just been trying to work whenever I can because I'm spread so thin. So some other things have had to be shelved.
Harem Hotel is being actively written as you play. So it's impossible to know when the end will come. There is a direction and ending in mind, but everything in between is being written as you play it.
I've recently begun making the player's character play a more active role in talking and action itself. This will also reflect in any events that are remade, which there is quite a bit left to remake.
Story conflictions are hard to find, there are just so many possibilities for error, so I rely on players to report these issues. Thank you for bringing one to my attention.
Itch.io offers a tip jar after clicking download game :) thank you
You make a good point. My goal is to make the player character a fill in for you, the player. Giving him a strong personality could contradict with the player's personality, or maybe he could say something the player wouldn't agree with. The protagonists are actually the girls, not the player, so these things are deliberate. However in the newest events I've decided to give him more of a voice. But he'll always be "the silent type" so that the player can fill the PC's shoes as much as possible.
That's fine, farming isn't a requirement. Buying the bar early is a very smart idea though, as it will gain you passive income as you're playing through the game.
Alternatively, there are cheat codes available on patreon.
Thank you so much! HH will only get better from here, as I'm constantly remaking old events to upgrade them to the same quality as the latest events. Some events are 6+ years old and are in dire need of an upgrade since I wasn't a great writer or artist back then.
Unfortunately I'm not sure if you're able to transfer saves between operating systems
Nothing in game costs anything close to that amount haha, but you should be upgrading the hotel to get passive income. Talk to Ellen about upgrades. The farm is a good place to start, and the bar will increase your passive income a lot.
Which scenes do you feel need more effort put into them? I'm remaking the oldest scenes in every update to maintain the same quality along the whole game.
As the player goes through the game, they will hopefully catch on to the mechanics. Only characters within the stats screen will get events ( as well as events in the Explore content ). This means that the garden itself does not have events, except for when you upgrade it, it will play a short scene when it's done. Jin is the only character with events in the farm. When a character has a "!" next to their name in the stats screen, it means an event is ready for them.
I will work on removing the ability to go back from the shower with a right click, thank you for bringing it to my attention.
I'm not sure what you mean by an alarm for the camera. An "alarm" in HH is being woken up to sex by one of the characters and is not tied to the camera.
I try to reduce the amount you need to click as much as possible, but I also want to maintain the feeling of living in a hotel and walking around in it as much as a visual novel can allow. If you've noticed any cases of unnecessary clicking, please let me know.
The last two updates have been abnormally slow. It's too early to estimate a release date for v0.19, so I would recommend not waiting for v0.19 yet and playing now.
Thank you so much! I think a part of what you've noticed is that I don't treat this as a porn game, but an adult visual novel. The story comes first here :)
If you would like to leave a proper rating and review here on itch.io, that would be very much appreciated :)
If you'd like to transfer your save data between hard drives, you can find Harem Hotel's save data in %appdata%. Otherwise there are cheat codes available to patrons.
