VN Ren'Py Harem Hotel [v0.18.2] [Runey]

While I agree with some points, you do realize Ashley went through some pretty fucked up shit to get to where she was at the start of the game, right? I'm not saying this excuses her, at all (I REALLY fucking hate that kind of justification for shit behavior), but it does explain it. And she gets a LOT better as a person when she realizes not everyone is her enemy. Before she literally felt like it was her against the world but as her arc progresses it becomes clear she's actually a really nice caring girl with a horrible fear of rejection and being alone again.

While I agree that taking a sterner approach to her could be cool, that kind of thing would basically be an entire path of character development that would have to be written out and it would change her entire character so you'd essentially have Ashley 1 and Ashley 2. Like the love-route / slave-route for the elves, except, you know, she's a main character so that's a fuckton of work.

Oddly enough I find Ashley one of the more understandable characters. Admittedly, I have a certificate proving my sanity (it's written in crayon but it counts!) and have been around others with similar "quirky behaviour" so that arc makes most sense to me. Overcompensating when feeling threatened, latching on to those that offer any form of support? All sounds very familiar. A person can only take so much abuse before their first response to even a sideways look ends up as "go for the throat". Or any other vulnerable bits you can actually reach...

I just did a quick run through in my head of how many story points that would need to be changed for a dual path - I can see quite a few so I can appreciate why Runey hasn't done so as then you have the renders to add in as well. Yes, I map out decision trees in my head. It's the only way I can get timelines right. Curse this meatspace limitation of 3D only!

As per your review, I'm sorry you think Lin is plain and ugly. I have no plans to ever change her.
It seems like you prefer women with big tits, and this seems to be a big source of your dislike of the game. Specifically that you're forced to interact with characters you don't prefer. Making more things optional is still something I would like to add.

My immediate thought on reading what you responded to was "Heresy!" as Lin is adorable as is. While I can appreciate a nice handful I dislike the prevalence of humungous gazongas in most creations of this ilk. Not that I'm a member of the itty bitty titty comittee but there's nowt wrong with variety

Runey i need help my man. When is lins event with cornwall and the other masters specifically and also if you buy jin and/or the sanctuary will it mess up her events? Even with the mod it only tells me lvl 30 event location boat day 2 after jin came over to help train lin once. I am confused.

I think this needs to start getting uploaded to a torrent, i'd say 10gb is about the limit for http.

Um ...what?

There has been a torrent version for the last several updates. Or, you could get a downloader, and save a lot of trouble.

Since you've received the letter you have to tell Ellen you're ready, that's the trigger iirc. You don't have to buy Jin early on iirc but you have to buy the 2nd floor, bar, slaves and sanctuary or you'll get stuck at some point.

 

[freedom.call]

That's true, and not a bad idea actually. Everyone likes or dislikes what they like or dislike.

I take everything I can get tbh, there are germs getting more action than I do. Not opposed to the idea of opting out though.

At first I didn't like her, because crazy, but as her story progressed I realized that I had almost become her. Some of those flashbacks hit really close to home. My parents didn't really get it and their advice wasn't useful, but they tried. If they didn't, I probably would have wound up just like Ashley.

Not sure why my save from 14.1 would cause anything for 15.1. I had no errors on 14.1 with the mod installed for 14.1, which I even completed all the story and had to stop playing until a new update came around. I don't know how to read those trackback error message. What can you tell me that mat be causing the errors for each one?

Though I've barely played any of the 0.15/0.15.1 release due to some many of the games I mod got released close to each other, of what little I have played of 0.15.1 was the slightly rare issue/error:
Exception: Could not find return label
of which I figure out the best thing to do since my save was in the Lobby was to immediately go to the Bar instead of letting the game continue letting me know girl x's story is complete.

So maybe jump back to the 0.14.1 release (with my mod from that version of the game) and do a save in the Lobby,
jump over to the 0.15.1 release (with the latest version of my mod that I updated last week to),
immediately jump to the Bar then continue the game and see if that helps.

If that doesn't work then send me your save and I'll take a look.

Ashley needs more spankings by the MC, problem solved lol.

I like Ashley, I found her personality at the beginning funny and could immediately tell she was compensating for a shitty past.
Maybe because I had grew up in a just as shitty but different situation that she didn't bother me, though I still would have bent her over my knee and made those ass cheeks nice and red when she got to my limit. Of course then I would have plowed those rosey red cheeks with my dick, hehe.

I forgot what that one elf girl's name was...the tech one we visit with Nia.
She was adorable, hope we'll see her some more in the future.

I got an immediate traceback error venturing into the unchartered 0.15.1 territory but it seems a rollback sorted it out, for now anyway.

Thank goodness! Lin is adorable! I find it curious that anyone would disagree with that, but I guess to each their own.

I'm the ultimate lurker - I read threads all the time and never post. But I just have to say this game so exceeded my expectations. I downloaded it thinking it would likely be an entertaining diversion but it really is a work of art. The scene in the clocktower was breathtaking. It was beautiful and did such great work on Ashley's character development. Speaking of character development - the twins completely surprised me. I started off thinking I would spend as little time with them as I could, but now I completely adore them. The scene where Felicity asks to be taken to the dungeon is one of my favorites. Perhaps most of all - when you persuade Maria that her parents loved her.... I wasn't crying. It was allergies, I swear.

Amazing work, Runey, and I admire your storytelling and your talent for character development

still haven't gone through the new update yet, mainly because of all the different screenies and things I need to do, and redo, from event revamps. Just don't know if I have the patience to do it

It's worth it though and the update was on the short side so you don't have to invest a lot of time.

It's not the time, it's the fact that I have to start over from the 13.2 version, get the screenies from that. Then get the screenies from the newer version of Lin's event changes (the intro) and then when Sylvia comes, plus all the new stuff.

Just tedious

And you know me, every new outfit of Lin's I have to screengrab in every pose, every lewd position....ugh, if she wears them while waiting in the lobby, all the event reworks, etc.

I can't help you with that... sorry.
The title of screenshot master is yours.

Yes, Jena was awesome. Reminds me of Kali, if she was a steampunk elf. XD
Hope we get to see a lot more of her, and help her out with a lot of things. We could help her with supplies and funding and even testing some things with Nia/Sui. XD
