News, Plans & Feedback (Patreon)

Hello everyone! Firstly, I would like to announce that v0.14 will begin the planning stages today and will soon transition into development! \o/
v0.14 already has quite a few things planned to be included, but nothing is set in stone yet. That's what this stage is for and why feedback now is most important.
So here are some of my early plans:
I would like to expand/remake the repeatable date and hangout mechanics. Right now, they only have repeated dialogue that is only interesting the first time you see it. Sometimes it's randomized, but ultimately, I think most of you stopped paying attention after the second or third repeatable date. Which is bad for a dating sim! Instead, I would like repeatable dates to be engaging, especially for those who really care about the character or her story. My plan is to make a few scenes per repeatable date event where you learn small things about a character, like something that happened in their past, their favorite food, maybe they will bring a friend, or just spill some tea. This means most repeatable affection content will give you new information most of the time instead of being the same thing over and over. My goal is to make these characters feel more alive and to make this game deeper in a content sense. Gaining affection should feel like you are getting to know them more.
Chain together repeatable sex content. At the moment you can choose from multiple repeatable sex options, but you're locked into the animation until you finish. Under a more advanced mechanic, I could take advantage of the already big amount of repeatable sex content and give the player a "free roam" version of sex. My plan is to include an option where you start with their most basic animation (handjob/blowjob/facesitting) and let the player choose where it goes from there. Ass to mouth? No problem! You even get to decide once you orgasm. This will probably be unlocked at around 30 friendship for most characters, after most of their repeatable sex content is unlocked. And probably require the Mega Slut trait, which you will probably have by that point anyway.
Android lust content. This was something planned for earlier versions, but the time didn't fit. Now it does!
Lobby outfits for F&E. Adding outfits to the lobby is a tedious task, especially for two characters, but they need it.
And more, but nothing is set in stone so I don't want to say too much. And of course, as always, main characters are guaranteed at least one main story event, maybe 2. I've been thinking of remaking the intro lately, so it makes a bit more sense and is a bit more impressive. But not longer.
Those are some of my early plans, what do you think, and what would you like to see in Harem Hotel? I'm looking for all forms of feedback in this post.
