Harem Hotel's 4th Anniversary & an Update

as long as they aren't forgotten

Well, any sort of scheme where Lin and Ashley get roughly half as much development as the rest until the rest catch up works, at least in terms of numbers. How that works in terms of plotline and story arc may be something else entirely.

Sure. Work out a fair rotation to determine which established girls get skipped over the next few updates, build that into the roadmap so you don't forget! You also have to make sure they don't go too long with no progress, either. Based on level numbers alone, maybe something like skipping two main girls per update, (Lin/Ashley)+(Kali/Maria/Android/Felicity+Emma). Meaning, over the next four updates, Lin & Ashley get skipped two times (not consecutively) and the other four get skipped once. Unless there's a scenario where Lin & Ash level together? That would force a skip of both the following update. Maybe treat the second set like a deck pick, no specific order, exhaust all then refresh. Autumn is never skipped until she's leveled up to match F+E 's relative levels (2-4 behind the rest of the pack), then she enters the rotation for skipping in the second group.

I am totally Ok with that.

I think it's fine for some characters to not get story progression in an update. It's not realistic to keep adding story for every single character, and add new stuff at the same time. Redirect your efforts to higher priority things and make better use of your time.

To answer the question of this post: While I would prefer if all of the main characters still had progression with each update, as long as it doesn't break the in-game storyline/timeline too much, I'd be perfectly fine with certain other characters (including the side ones) getting larger updates to catch up.

Would love if all characters got caught up on plot and story

a strip poker mini game sounds like it would be sick to have!

I love this game!

A natural progression for Lucy might be to turn around the pizza restaurant with Lin's natural fresh pizza and sexy topless hostess costumes. "All the toppings go on our pizza's." She could later move into managing the naturist beach hotel.

I think I might of deleted one of my posts so sorry if this is a repeat. Queen Jia (The Fake Queen) rescue using the EMP grenade. Nia hides Queen Jia in Moon's quiet tree house, noting the relic war machines which could be useful too the underground. Then moves her to the romantic get away location to fish at night with Drow is that one of the hidden resistance fighters. Queen Jia creates a proper gander video, not to create descent but bring hope to the elves. Putting on a collar and chain in unity to those held in bondage. News story of young people starting to where the collar and chain in silent protest to the oppression of the Elves.] Welcoming in those children of Elves and humans as her children. Voicing her hope for equality.

Hazel, Autumn, Ashley, Lin, and Blessing[Android] bond working at the soup kitchen with the others. News story with elves helping the destitute. Lin "We try to help those in greatest need. To see such suffering is heart rendering sad." Hazel (Autumn's Sister) think about investing in mobile food kitchen off chute of restaurant, offer jobs on the farm to those wanting to escape drugs. [ College drug dealer girl offered place too get back into college. New Harem conquest.] Possible news story.

New Hotel on the coast, with link to Drow caves. Private nude beach. Introduction to Drow love of fishing. [ Lots of damp wet elves cavorting in the ocean; swimming with dolphins.] University Girls project to document the Drow society.

Nia/Maria plan, with android assistance, to find Maria's mother. [Is it possible to rescue her.]

Finally got to Ally and the current end-x. I was thinking on new story line. Possibly finding the funding for; first buying Ashley's secret beach/forest. Then too hotel expansion in the owl people village area with a farm that you can buy elves to grow crops and build the hotel that never seems to be completed. Opportunity to build a dance/hostess club. [Peni/Jin/Ann more spies for Nia] Slipping owl elves back into the village. The college girls visit to record village life. A new safe wifi hub for the partitioning. Fairy's hunting through the mountains for crystal, build a hidden fairy village to help protect the owl people.

I hope we reach at least the 10th anniversary. I love the story, I love the game 😍😄

Giving the other elves and side girls a few more story lines would be great. Lin and Ashley have had some majorly long updates in the past especially Lin getting several vacations with the MC. Would like to see some new things for Hana for her hentai work, Slyvia is in the kitchen but nothing for her to do yet. Ann and Peni havent had much development for many chapters either. New Stories for Juliet and Nala and Kali's other college girls. An update for Lucia would be nice too. A new main Girl will be a great addition. Congrats on the 4th Anniversary and we all look forward to future updates for story lines and naughty bits lol.

I just want more body inspections. Thorough inspections! Especially on Kali and Ashley's bodies (my two favorite girls). Autumn would be a great addition.

Lin and Ashley are two of my favorite girls, but I think evening out development/story for some of the girls with less of it could benefit the game as a whole. I guess I wouldn't want to see it happen to the same characters multiple updates, but I'd be fine with it.

I will admit that there have been times during recent updates that I wish some characters got more content than others. At the moment, the characters I'm most interested in following are the elves. I know it's not actually like this, but to me it feels like Sylvia hasn't had any content of substance in a good while. Whereas it feels like Nia hogs the spotlight. So if that means a main cast member has to forgo some story content, then I'd be happy with that.

I think that's a great idea. I am looking forward to autumn and her sister as well as Hanna, the high elf and the freedom fighter.

Thanks so much for keeping us involved! I'd love to see more updates that let other characters catch up. The main cast is fantastic, but you could spread the love around more. Seems like the responsible thing to do. It's the harem hotel after all! I'd personally love to see more about how the elves are living. Peni and Ann especially. I'd love to know that they're happy, beyond just their needs being met. Peni's a dancer, so if she enjoyed doing that, she could have a nightly show at the bar? Ann, we don't know much about except the feelings she had for her previous master. Maybe there's a romantic writer/poet somewhere in her? I'd also love to see Jin gain her own sense of fulfillment. I've never had a drug addiction, but I hear taking up a creative pursuit can sometimes help? That garden will need some care and Lin may not always have time. In any case, please stay true to your characters and your world. I love how they've been developing so far and the background lore we've been getting throughout. Long life and many blessings upon you, noble Runey.

I would love to see some side girls get some love. I am really interesting in seeing more Jin stuff as I have not seen many games explore "Uncorrupting" (sorta) a girl. Also I would love to see more updates for the elves you are helping in the Sanctuary.

If they could find a source of crystals on the mainland. [Possibly in the drow cavern were they're seen as lighting.] There could be a mission for the fairies to help their families and friends. Even to bring in elven labourers to construct a two foot drop ceiling in the rooms and cut arches, that could then be used by the fairy families. Plant a flower meadow around the hotel, which the fairies could harvest honey dew. [ I realise there's not much sexual in this ] I just think of how Lin would love it.

Hey Runey, nice that you ask. I'm fine when you focus on the other girls too than just the main. It's a great game and every girl deserves her time to, so focus on one or two girls and surprise us with a great story, instead to cripple down and lose your "red line" for each.

While I love Ashely and Lin, giving the other girls a chance to catch up would be better in the long run I feel.

Segmented updates are fine.

I agree with the others. I want to see more content for 2nd floor, the elves, and ellen. My favorite characters were the other girls, but thats because of the story and scenes they have.

I am on board with letting other character's story content catch up.

I agree with the others. I love your story content on the main seven. But since establishing their character and relationship (especially the 1st floor), I think you can invest more attention elsewhere. I think a good balance would be one big event in one of the 7 main stories, such as the 'origin of Ashley' and a couple - three extended sequences, like getting A11y a new form, or going to church with Autumn. Then give lots of women smaller scenes, like sex with Hanna in the garden, giving Kitty emotional support or Moon bursting into MC's room. I really love the stuff between the women, like the video game battle between Emma, Moon and Kali or Maria's beach trip. Stuff like that can help you address more characters. I would say 5 individual small scenes and 3 'interaction' scenes, along with the longer stuff above, is plenty. I would like more of these small scenes and faster progress for the 3rd tier women, and really, even the second tier women. Having a slower pace in the 7 main stories, would help. For Mains that don't have a big story in an update, give them a couple other elements like lust scenes or outfits. Ideally, 2nd and 3rd tier would gain a small element each update (a new sex act, texting nudes, outfit in one setting, etc). There are so many good ideas in your game. Just an enormous amount of possibility. I am enjoying it immensely. I am sure I will continue to love your work. In all, I would like be fine with the first floor getting less content so that others can get some attention.

How about Lin and her sister start a craze with the vine costume.

Haven't played all the way through yet, but would like to see Lin being given her own brightly coloured car popping up, give the girls lifts to the shops and outings. Being bright and friendly on the news casts, getting to be known by the reporter by her name, and bring him snacks. Also they might join the soup kitchen and invest in the Reman seller to start a business, giving jobs to locals and maybe the odd elf, bringing a general improvement the the area.

I love this game a lot. Especially the surprising amount of character depth and development

autumn mmm mmnph

Agree that other characters should be allowed to catch up to Lin and Ashley

Yeah, I agree that other characters need some love too.

Lin and Ashley have a very complete story, if they stayed a while without updates to focus on the other characters I wouldn't see a problem

You gotta do what you gotta do. If that means not every character gets content in the update that's fine by me, as long as it won't be several updates in a row. Do hope you won't let us in suspense for too long with Ms. Ren!

I want more Lucy stuff

Good work so far n it's ok for some characters lin or Ashley to get very light updates in favor of others it depends on the story so far n what needs to be addressed

No lin story I think you can get away with, especially with the scale of her story at present, it's hard to come up with a new, cross-continent world-changing event every update. Ashley though, you better give us some resolution on ms Ren first, then sure.

Congrats on 4 years of excellent work!!! No problems here if you want to bring out more of the characters that are a bit behind compared to others that are a bit more established. I for one have been looking forward to new updates for side characters like Kali's classmates and Juliet. Here's to more excellent storytelling and gameplay.

I'm more than happy for characters not to get story updates to let other characters catch up. Also Happy Anniversary! 🥂

Congratulations runey on the anniversary this game you made with the team is gire keep it going ill support it till the end lets goooo also Yea fair point the others in the harem need to catch up so if it means line and ashley and a few other who have major lead in story gotta be held to minor updates then so be it just please show love for my waifus in those updates

Congratulations with anniversary! I think, that in a terms of quality storyline and variety of stories of many characters, you can focus on some girls in future updates. It's better when all girls have full focus in updates, than all have some in a bit of content.

4年了.时间过得好快

Congratulations Runey!, the game is fantastic and the new features that you are thinking sounds good, respect the other theme, although Lin is my favorite character of the game with difference, i don't see anything bad in wanting other characters to catch up with the ones that have more content.

I dont think every character needs to have a story for every update. I dont see a problem with having 8 or so new events per update and giving more to the few who are new.

I don't mind seeing the new characters taking spotlight for a bit to catch up to the older characters. Be nice to see some of the new characters show up in the hotel regularly like in the lobby, garden, or hot spring where you can interact with them regularly with repeatable dates or sex scenes. Also, I'm excited to see the strip poker minigame on the list. That's going to be absolutely awesome! I could totally see this popping up either in the bar, the lobby, or the garden, or maybe all 3 really.

Yeah not every character needs an update every version. Or maybe just some much shorter ones at most.

Hey Runey, congrats! Thank you for all the hard work during these 4years!

I feel that several characters do need to catch up. Do what you think is best. As long as the new content is fun I am fine with pausing Lin and Ashley

Congrats on the 4 years! Regarding your question: I would love to see more content for side-characters. Your worldbuilding and storytelling are really good, so I would be very happy to see more content for other characters than the protagonists. Keep up the good work and have a nice week.

I think that if every once in a while a main character (in rotation) receives a small update or skips it, to give the secondary characters a little more space, it's a good idea to keep a fairly steady pace in the release of the new update

I think an update to keep the less fleshed out characters relevant would be good for the health of the game. Even just scenes for some of them like you did with freestyle and more clothing options breathes new life into already existing content with minimal work.

It is your game, do what you feel is best. But since we are asked our opinions... It is fine to pause development of some characters in order to pursue some that have less content. In fact I would welcome it. I would like to see more content concerning the less-developed elves like Nia, Sylvia, Penni, Jin, and Ann. And it would be interesting to see some of the side characters interact at times, like when both Hana and Lucia are in the hot springs what if they talked to each other a bit. It doesn't have to be much. And what if for example, Ann helped Moon in the bar when her school work gets heavy for a while. Little things that add a bit of life and don't require a lot of work, but might bring the setting and characters even more to life could be cool. Just my thoughts. Either way, it is a great game! Thanks for all your hard work.

I would have no issue with updaes focusing on only on some caracters and not all main caracter. I like them all, so the order the content is released does not matter.

Yeah Lin and Ashley are my favourite characters but it's probably for the best that some of the other characters get some story progression to catch them up to at least Ashley's level of story development.

I think it sounds a great idea, im sure most people love Lin and Ashley like myself but the others deserves a story as well

I would be fine with that but ultimately it is your call I have zero complaints about how you been doing things

Yeah I feel fine with Lin and Ashley being put on the back burner for now. Hope to see some more for Kali as she is my favourite character and then maybe perhaps some more scenes with secondary characters or maybe love/slave routes with the other slave elves that you can purchase like Sylvia and the black haired one (totally blanking on names today)

I concur with people saying you should do wtv you feel like doing the most. I'm sure the best content is the one you want to do.

I don't mind if some characters don't get an update if others get to catch up, it's probably better this way

Thanks a lot for your work till know, sure Updates without those would also fine.

I think it's fine to go one update without giving some characters *cough*TwinsAndLin*cough* an update. But if you start neglecting Autumn before we get to actually have sex with her, I might never forgive you.

Congratulations! Regarding the content focus, I would be happy to pause main character development to give side characters more depth.

I find myself saying this a lot, but make the game you want to make, at the pace you want to make it. I'm pledged to enough projects that I legit always have a new update to work on. Keep up the great work, Runey. And a belated happy 4th anniversary to Harem Hotel!

I myself am a bit torn: I want some of the underdeveloped characters (Autumn, Emma) to get more content, but I also just want to see 1 character get to the endgame.

K am intrigued by the above picture. Elves, elves and more elves! Also, Autumn needs more story!

I’d love to see the stories that are most exciting to write get progress, and perhaps some more autumn content :)

Do not rush anyone's story for the sake of ticking arbitrary, universal progress boxes. Flesh each out as they inspire you. IMO

I'm very in favor of some girls especially Lin taking a back seat for a bit while we get more from others, including side characters (don't get me wrong, I love Lin and her story but it does feel like she was a lot more than everyone else). Maybe just some extra lewd content for the ones that don't get story though even that I wouldn't say is required. Looking forward to the future updates

I wouldn't mind at all if some characters don't get story sometimes, but I wouldn't want it to get out of hand. If a character receives no story multiple updates in a row I would be pretty disappointed.

I'm ok with some girls not getting updates in favor of others getting more.

If you're not going to provide a story update for a character, it might be a nice compromise to give her a little bit of fan service. Something like a new costume or a new exhibition challenge on a date, maybe a new sex position. You know, just a little something new for the fans of that particular character.

Oh, and we'll keep supporting you! This game is great!

1. I'm loving the incoming/planned features! Wondering how farming will work. Maybe a shop or gift mechanic? Hmm... interesting. 2. Yeah, I'm titally okay with updates letting other girls catch up. *cough, cough!* ..Autumn...! I'm totally okay with just filler/lewd content (if possible) while focusing more story on other girls. 3. New main girl? VERY. INTRIGUED!!!

I'm currently very happy with the progress as long as the new updates are fun I don't care who their for

I would definitely be ok if some characters sit out to allow another character to join the family!! Maybe one already in the game one of the side characters could become a main girl

I fully support fleshing out the others cause the need more attention

Im okay with that. Need more Autumn

I'd be okay with that to give other characters some room to shine too. Really wanting more Autumn and Maria content, as well as Sylvia and Nia. And Vanessa too. Haha. Okay, the list ended up longer than I initially thought. Long story, short: I'm okay with some characters not getting new story content some updates.

I think it's fine if a couple of main characters don't get any new content if your spending the time expanding the content for other characters

yes, please let some of the other chars catch up a bit and maybe even introduce that last character at some point.

Happy belated 4th anniversary!

would rather you catch up the characters who don't have as much content
