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. Nymptho 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.

I hate snow SO so much
Kate!!! Kate!!! Kate!!
I completely feel for you Runey with the sickness... Fall kills me with all the ragweed and mold. I always manage to get walking pneumonia.... I always get better once the snow falls.
Game is Brill. Apart from main characters, I think side Characters should get more Storylines such as Moon, Kate, Hana and maybe Nia and Slyvia.
Definitely more side character stories for me like Kate and Moon, but also others.
Figures: I would absolutely like alternative poses, (nude or alternate costumes). I'm excited for the Kali and future casts. And it's awesome to look forward to another update. Feel better Runey. Wishing you and everyone all the best. I'll give that AI thing a try, ONLY because of Harem Hotel. (Tried the AI chat, it was hilarious. Some of those responses made me laugh so hard. Not sure if it was supposed to but the Chatbots weren't familiar with the game cannon.)
I'd like to see the ability to buy more stuff in the store. Maybe add a couple floors to sanctuary and the ability to take in more slaves with a little variety. Not full storylines but a little bit. Some options with get something to eat etc would be sweet. A lot of time is spent adding traits and increasing affection/obedience with limited options. Still a brilliant game with brilliant storylines. One problem with the slaves in back being illegal. Cira was the only one not purchased through the HHI so that should be fixed. I'd like to see it culminating in slavery eliminated with a victory over the powers that be...
Would love to do the AI chat but I couldn't see any regenerate/edit responses so not for me. As for content, the plugs/clamps/etc sounds pretty cool. Especially if there's perhaps a randomization setting. But I would certainly love more seeing more developed content for the side girls. Lucy, Hana and Moon come to mind for me.
Thank you for the update, and yeah I'd love to see some more side characters fleshed out and have a bit more content there. One thing I ended up really liking was exploring the city a bit and would be awesome to expand there. But with a game this huge I understand not everything will get done. But you're doing amazing work and I love supporting you.
Gotta say, I'm not too hyped on the AI thing, personally. But I won't knock it for those that do like it I definitely want to see more Side Character Content, I'd love to learn more about Eris, Moon, Hana, Kate, hell I even wanna see Ramen Shop Guy get more appearances 👀 And stop neglecting Juliet 😭 I'm definitely interested in a Kali figure, tho I do hope others eventually get made. I would kill for an Ashley one. Maybe have the option to have the figures be both clothed AND nude? That'd definitely entice some people
I costs quite a bit of money to create the model for the 3D print, so if the Kali figurine sells well, I will move on to offering Ashley figurines
You know that vending machine in the hotel lobby? You know the food you can order at the Pizza place or Coffee shop? You spend money there, but get nothing out of it. It would be nice if you could reward a character on a whim with a treat, maybe get some special scenes if you find their favorite food. Also I love the garden. It would be cool to have more character interactions back there.
I'd love to see more focus on the dungeon. It hasn't really played too much of a role since the early release, and it feels a little left behind compared to the later animations. It would be awesome to get more options for positions, invite the side characters down, and just see more dungeon fun time. Story is phenomenal so far.
I would personally prefer lingerie or alternative outfits over plain nudity for the figures! I think Kali in her bunny outfit would be super cute. As far as content goes, I am definitely way more invested in the side characters storylines over traits. Kate is one of my favorites. It was kinda cool seeing a female character with autism represented really well in an erotic game of all things?? She is really memorable for me.
Trait unlocking plugs and vibrators is OK as long as you don't have to use those. I prefer the old way with outfits.
random events in the hall ways, bar, spa and other locations. Random events keep the place feeling "alive".
I want to see more of the fairies, both sexually and the story, they seems to have been playing an important part of the history in this world and would love to see more of it and their connection to the gaianist church and everything also love the 3 fairies and want H-scenes
The new story lines for v0.19 sound fantastic although I admit to being nervous about Autumn 😵💫. I have a few opinions about religion and the effect it has that should never be shared here 😬. Every side character has been interesting in some way, but do I want to see any from the Church of Gaius such as Elder Delilah? Not a chance, but I would like to see more of Eris, Kate, Juliet, Nia, Moon, Lucia, Jinny and Vanessa. NONE on the slave route. This is in order of appearance in the game and has nothing to do with my preference. I know this is a little too much to ask but could we get them all 😄. The Lovescape idea sound great but also like it could become addicting very fast 😉. Almost too fun 😛. Had to do a quick edit there.
More side content with Vanessa would be great. I'd love to see a follow up with her, Nala, Ami and Kim from the events of Lin's protest. Maybe a mission to help some of the background characters who attended like Burger elf or the human/elf couple? I don't know if it would fit but since there are four of them, maybe even a comedic Charlie's Angels motif. A gym/dojo hotel expansion option would fit in well as a multi-purpose new area. Training ground for Nia/Maria, new exercise area for Kate, Felicity, Emma and Ashley. Maybe a hidden armory? Also, I think it was mentioned by someone else on discord but Pixel having more social interaction training, similar to the Maria bar event, but with Kate would be a fantastic. Kate and Pixel seem to share that lack of intuitive understanding which would make Kate a great teacher.
Cosmetics for characters is good. I'd kinda like the last room filled, or at the very least, change the message on the door to 'I still can't find a tenant for this room.' Sylvia and Nia are more than just side characters at this point, I think it's probably time to move them into better accommodations. I don't mind grinding stats, I like when games take more than 20 seconds to play. Besides, making it hard to obtain makes it more enjoyable when it does happen. If I wanted easy to unlock sex scenes I'd just watch porn.
Personally, I’d prefer more side character content. Hope you feel better soon.
Love the idea of adding cosmetics to the characters in their rooms, especially the nipple piercings, or tail-style butt plugs for F&E In terms of figurines, I think pre-painted figurines would be nice even if the price was higher, since not everybody has the attention to detail in order to paint them well
I would love to offer painted figurines, but we did a few tests and they didn't turn out great.
I'd love to see more Slyvia and Nia content especially but Moon too. And the additional requests after getting certain tiers of ferish traits sounds rad too.
After the 0.18 cliffhangers I'm really keen to see what 0.19 has in store for our main cast. Whilst I like a lot of the ideas for the trait reworks I think I'd prefer things focused on the side characters - I really enjoy them all being there and want to get more time with them. The Kate Date last patch was great and I enjoy more wholesome and varied content with them (let us build a gym and other facilities for them to hang out in). Like the promotion of custom art - I really enjoy seeing what everyone comes up with, even if some characters (Kali) are neglected by the community (he says with no plans to submit a Kali request for at least 3 months).
Thanks for the feedback :)
Will we see any new content for Nia and Sylvia slave route? It feels like its been awhile. Also, I hope you feel better soon.
That’s partially what this post is asking. Would you prefer I focus on side character content or other content like traits? They’ll certainly be getting more content at some point though.
I hope you feel better
I like the trait idea!
Sorry to hear about your health problems, but 'tis kinda that time of year. Both me and my dad have had pretty good luck with nasal saline rinses. Keeping your sinuses clean seems to go a long way towards general health. Edit (because I couldn't seem to add a new paragraph on my phone): I would love to see some side characters built out. I've been enjoying getting (re-) acquainted with Kate, and I would not mind some sort of repeatable scenes with her. I don't think she'd get that freaky. Hana, though, I think could be incredibly depraved (and I am HERE for it!), and it could help her become a hentai artist of note. It would be nice to help her develop self-confidence (and an incredibly dirty mind). Speaking of self-confidence, Juliette, I mean, who doesn't like a BTGG? Sometime I just want to give her a hug. Last, I would love to see more content with Ellen, because I love me a curvy blonde older lady.
Thanks for the tip
Wow, that's... honestly a lot to take in. From my perspective, my preference would be to focus secondary content on fleshing out side characters more. Don't get me wrong, the ideas you listed are great, and I love spicy content as much as the next person.... But the reason why HH is one of my Top 3 titles is the character development and interactions. Regarding the garden content, I haven't gone full run on it because I haven't had time to start a fresh run lately, but I can see how it could be useful, and I like how it intersects with Jin's story. Gonna be honest, I've never actually requested any Custom Art. That's not to knock it, I just never have the memory or time to think anything up. It's more or less the same reason I leave a lot of the finer details up to artists when I commission them. I'm not in the market for figurines at the moment (not enough shelf space for what I DO have), but I never think it's a bad idea to branch out into merch. It's relieving to know that there won't be any AI in the game. I'm not against a chatbot in theory, but I'd personally prefer a limited "dumb" chatbot that's standalone. With all the negatives associated with them, I'm concerned about the shoehorning of AI into nearly everything lately; and I definitely have better things to do than use a pay to play chatbot. That just feels predatory to me; but then I remember ten, fifteen years ago, when there were super basic chatbots that you didn't have to pay to talk to. /shrug
Oh yeah, forgot to ask: Is "Pixel" any sort of official name for Android moving forward? I was a little confused at first because I'd never seen her referred to in an official capacity as anything aside from the latter until now.
To bad that the most recent update can't be downloaded due to too many downloads already....and I paid for this?
No, the update is free. But you can also try the other link. Google Drive has a daily limit, but is very fast. Mediafire has no limits.
I like the early game characters you run into while exploring the city. Wish some of those girls had become main heroines.
Such as Eris? I have plans for her ;)
I really like the Explore content. I said this a few times on the Discord, the Bun Bun girls ended up just fun people and the weekly bowling tournaments were something I found myself really into. For side content, I'd love exploring that more.
Thank you for the feedback! I'm thinking Vanessa may pay her friend a visit in the BunBun Brothel soon
