“Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away”.
This quote heavily applies in game development too...
I genuinely hope for the best for this game but someone needs to say this...
At the rate the development is going, I'm sorry but the game will never be finished, or IF it does it will take 10 or more years to finish the game. At that point, burnout would've already set in, new technological innovations are already available, newer and more refined similar games would've been out, and so much of the original vision would've been compromised already. The Dev then gets demoralized/unmotivated while he gets stuck on a constant cycle of iteration... And the donors will eventually feel like they're being con'd/scammed at that point. I've seen this pattern in the indie game scene countless times already, and this has similar markings for it...
Yeah I was thinking something similar. I knew so many games with great potential, now all abandoned. Maybe this game was one of the reasons and in the future some other game will be the reason of this game’s death, like you said. It’s a cycle and it’s natural I guess. But still, HHG is one of the best in every aspect and I really, really want to see it reach greater heights. It deserves so much more. Because there are not many games with this level of quality. World Tamer is one of them, and Scarlet Law and Harem Hotel are a little closer too. But the truth is, none of these games give me that unique feeling HGG has. I even say this knowing Harem Hotel has one of the most detailed, deep storyline of its kind. I don’t even know what it is to be honest but I like it. And even if this game dies or is abandoned one day, I’d feel happy that I was able to experience it. So let’s hope the dev regains their motivation and shows us all what they can do. It will be a pleasure for me to support them on this path.
I really recommend Goddess Whim Its one of the 18+ game i like not only because of the the nsfw scenes but the story too is very interesting and good. I recommend to try it out you all will not be Disappointed.
Hey! just made an account to comment that this game IS the best I've ever seen in months, maybe years.
Where should I start? From the beginning until now, I'm completely satisfied with everything you had created, whether the girl's personality, jokes, especially, Jimmy! I hope that this game gets finished in months, years, or anytime it will take, I will surely return to complete the game.
Love the work man, stay healthy and I'll be looking foward for this project (I'm scared that I'll ran out of things to do, so I stopped playing it :(, but I'll be playing again when it gets updated!) thanks for the game Komisari! much love.
HUGE question, ive played the game up until the prologue and i want to know is there any sound and voice effects? I've played through the game and i still havent heard a sound or a voice effect
I really wanted to share my impressions of this great game with you, so I created an account on ichi.io.
This game probably has Japanese 3D models ...... "Custom Made 3D, Koikatsu! or other body mods and 3D materials are probably used a lot in this game. As a Japanese, I feel very familiar with it.
(I laughed at the fact that the door sign on Lusy's room is "OTOIRE", or "latrine" in Japanese lol).
Now, I have played a really large number of Japanese romance adventure and novel games.
Although this game is an NSFW game, I found the story to be really rich. Lots of laughs, heart touching, and of course very naughty! It's almost as good as the "story-driven" games I've played in Japanese in the past.
(I don't want to be a spoiler, but I will say this: ...... Maria's first visit to Zach's "bedroom" was very moving. I felt a deep love for her at that moment, even though many people would normally be angry).
The writing is also very good in that it is mostly in plain language, which makes it easy for a non-English speaker like me to understand.
Yes, I love this work with all my heart, and I really can't wait for Chapter 1.
I salute you for your accomplishment and let you know that I eagerly await your work from a distant island nation. Thank you so much!
Hi Dev I have a legitimately question. You have stated in your response that the next update will be near doubling the content. Will you split the game or not? I know for a fact that itch try’s to limit file size to 1gb anything over you need to send in a request. I have learned a lesson from you that is I will not post my game on any platform until it is completely finished. I know for a fact I would not be able to respond in a nice tone to rude players. “Chuckles to his self “ Not without going bald from yanking all my hair out from the repeated questions such as WHEN IS THE GAME COMING OUT? Asked over and over and over every single day. I would probably be placed in a mentally insane asylum lol 😂 I can see myself rocking in a corner of a rubber room. Saying over and over soon soon sooN soON sOON SOON SOON it will be released….. would love to see a pre release something like that as you are the inmate lol🤪
No, the game won't be split in parts. (It will not behave like different games) But I might, if people want it, split the files of the game. (You have to download every file and then unzip it together)
Hey Komi, just want to say that I really enjoyed this game and came to see if there was an update. I was disheartened to see there hasnt been one since October of last year, but I read the update and I saw youre responding, which gives me hope. I hope all is good in your life and cant wait to see what comes next in this amazing game of yours.
Hey, so I tried downloading the game on Mac and I can't open the game. I downloaded the patch and put the script in the place where the instructions said to. Are there any suggestions to help me out or should I re-download everything or try again?
Hey bro, I just want to say that your game is amazing. I can see all the hard work you put in to make this a REAL story. I was reading the comments and wondered why so many people were angry, and now I know. You see, you created a masterpiece, seriously a true masterpiece. The absolute love you put into this is clear and we miss it, we miss your art. Perhaps you got burnt out, I can see why, this game has so many details that I can't even list them all. All in all, if you see this just know that I love your creation and if you ever come back, I will be here.
I notice that a lot of people ether call this game a scam or no update Discords tend to have better updates then waiting on here better then nothing good game anyway
Hey, I've recently been banned from the Discord server for sending scam messeges. I want to clarify that my google account was hacked and many of my other accounts got compromised for that, so someone else was using my Discord to send these messeges. The problem has been solved but I'd like to know if I can be unbanned from the server. My user name is "windkill". I apologise for any trouble I may have caused.
For those wondering if this game is dead, you should go to the discord. It's active. They post screen shots of what they are working on, which is apparently Evie's quest line right now. There are a lot of people in there and this game is definitely being built.
this game looks really good.. its a shame if it actually is dead.. the art style alone is fricking clean.. I've not played it due to what i'm reading.. I dont wanna like something that wont be finished.. I like a good teaser but nooo ty. I hope the dev is ok and in good health.. not much real incentive to poor yourself into a game like this if times are hard.
I have been given warnings for years now. I played this game back in 2021, and been waiting for a long time for the next update. I got hated on for not being "patient". This game has turned into a mess now, the dev is no longer giving updates on itch.io, you will either have to go discord, patreon or their socials.
I have stated many times that this looked like another MGI incident. That game had a lot of potentional before the dev lost intrest and didnt tell anyone to just keep taking people money on patreon.
I give this as a warning to NEW PLAYERS, don't spend any money until the dev releases the next update. The Dev keeps making excuses on why the update is not here yet, and no matter what excuse they got now, I aint beleiving shit anymore. Just another Indie dev that got greedy and lazy.
I hope one day, the dev will get off their ass, I tried being nice to them in the past, but I can't anymore, not only are you scamming other people, you scammed me.
Until i see a new update, I will not be back to support this game. You got exactly one year before i unfollow and take this game out of my collection. Can't stand it when games cant be finsihed when it was promised to us.
Hello, sorry to hear that. The game is still in development, the next update will be released and will duplicate the content, you want it or not or even if you believe it or not. So yeah, once it releases, you are completely welcome to come back and, not necessarily support monetary, but giving your feedback about the update.
This game is a scam. Endless waiting for updates that never come, meanwhile just suckering us on Patreon. Give us a date, stick to the date, or get reported. This is nuts.
I have played through the entire Prologue and I have to say this is one of the best written, fun games out there. Amazing job on the characters, story, gameplay, and I wasn't expecting such great anime cut scenes. Everything about this game is really professional, and exceptional. I will be joining the Patreon soon to contribute and I can't wait to play chapter 1.
High quality for a free game sure, but its full of grammatical/spelling errors so it cant really be called professional. I assume English isn't the dev's first language and its not super common to see these errors (like 10 errors, and 20 or 30 times the phrasing was weird but not technically wrong) but they still exist. My main complaint about the game is the actual guild management part is very lacking. No quests, no depth, just choose location and collect stuff. Couldn't even be bothered to have guild members come back at night either which makes it annoying since you have to recall people to interact with them.
Well, I think a lot of the lack of depth is because this was the Prologue, the setup. I have been in the discord and I think a lot of the things you are complaining about will actually be core mechanics starting in a Chapter 1 that they say will be twice as long as the Prologue was, with more to do in terms of quests, etc. So you should go into the Discord and check out their road map. It's interesting. Also, yes I did see those typos you are referring to, but I am a professional writer/editor and I work for book companies and even professional typesetters know that a certain percentage of typos will slip through. They are present in every Stephen King book, all the Harry Potter books have typos in them. Yale and Harvard have done studies and people have a hard time seeing their own typos. It's hard to catch them all, so I don't let that bother me, especially with a small staff. The game is very professional compared to most indie studio games, and I really enjoyed it knowing it was just the Prologue, and that they have been working for years on the next iteration, which should surely be improved with everything the devs have probably learned from their experiences making this.
Is the Trello live roadmap actually a live roadmap? Is it up to date? Cuz I feel like it hasn't changed like ever but maybe I'm just missing something.
The last release was almost two years ago now. Just subscribe/follow/whatever and wait for the email. I mean, browse the dev log. Last post was 2024. Previous one to that was May 2023. Do not hold your breath on updates XD
Last update on trello was on march... my man, I work on tech, why do you have multiple events on the 'in_progress' category, do you have multiple people working on this, or are you doing multiple tasks at the same time, without going through with your current one? The game is indeed free, but you keep promisimg that you will deliver it someday, and we can't see any actual progress looking at your planning in trello
Hate to agree but you can see what the dev makes $4,249 monthly on patreon. Just wondering if the person answering in chat is the dev or a paid moderator. I have seen that happening in non-adult games. I stopped subscribing about a year ago. Just come back every so often to see if they will even con’t the game or not
One thing Dev you should notify your players if their old saves will work or not by now if you have con’t to make this game you should know. This way you don’t make your players mad for grinding for resources in game for nothing. lol last year I lost many of my old saves on games made with Ren’py
I've told them multiple times, the saves WILL BE compatible with the new version, just make sure to rest in the BEDROOM, like the game asks you to do!
I'm making tons of new systems and even reworks, and I'm working a lot on making every single save compatible, so don't worry about it, play as much as you want.

I agree with everything you said
i lowkey installed this game when it was new. im 18 now.
so you played when you weren't 18+ ...
Everyone's a gooner. Though it's illegal, I can understand his age a bit
There's a chance we might get GTA 6 before Chapter 1. (Wait, was that backwards?)
Hey! just made an account to comment that this game IS the best I've ever seen in months, maybe years.

Thank you so much!
is 1.2.3 a different game than the new update and if so is it mandatory to install both versions when the new version comes out
When the new update arrives, you will have to download the game again.
HUGE question, ive played the game up until the prologue and i want to know is there any sound and voice effects? I've played through the game and i still havent heard a sound or a voice effect
If u meant animated scenes, then only christmas event had a sound.
Hi, I am a Japanese player.

I can't get access Discord for some reason, so how can I go to fine new information about the game?
Quick question. When is 1.2.4.... What ever the next update coming to those that aren't paying for Patreon?
Once v0.1.3 is uploaded, it'll take 3 weeks to become public. So, check any future announcement!
K thanks.
we need chinese please~
高手
Hey, so I tried downloading the game on Mac and I can't open the game. I downloaded the patch and put the script in the place where the instructions said to. Are there any suggestions to help me out or should I re-download everything or try again?
hello, apparently i got a bug cause the game lost sounds and conversation screen are turning black. anyone know how to fix it on mac?
where can i find the code to the discord?
Follow the instructions and take your time to read carefully. You will find it before you realize.
Hello, author, I am a supporter from China. Has the author considered adding Chinese translation？
Hello, what is the code to enter Discord? I don't understand anything it says. Please help.
😅👍

abandoned game, no news, no updates.👍
Game is not abandoned. Please check Trello or you can see on discord.
ill wait for 1 more year
I been waiting since 2021, its dead bro. The dev just dont care anymore.
I've been following this game since mid-2020, almost 5 years of development and the game hasn't even come to fruition. just a Endless scam.
Hello, may I be unbanned from the Discord server? my DS name is Rel.
This game is a scam. Endless waiting for updates that never come, meanwhile just suckering us on Patreon. Give us a date, stick to the date, or get reported. This is nuts.
My thoughts exactly, just scamming people now is what they doing.
Bro hire a developer or something. This wait is crazy.
I'm waiting the translation to Spanish xd, someday. I hope
Ain't no fucking way hollow knight silksong and GTA VI are gonna release before the next update of this game.
Jesus Christ. I can already the amoun of content just with the zip weight, lol.

Hello! I see what you say! First of all thank you so much! No need to join Patreon for now, I would suggest waiting for an update!
有中文嗎
I really like the game, too bad it's too short now. I am hoping for more content soon :-)
doubt it, been waiting since 2021 for the next offical update.
Unfortunately this wont release before GTA 6
