Recommended Posts

And Harem c7m6 is ready for your enjoyment!  You’ve learned that Chinua’s far more than just the protector of her tribe’s herd and if you teach her more about her abilities, you’ll ‘learn’ far more about her as well.  I heard all the requests for Orichalcum armor in Rachel’s shop, so that will now be an option in her shop.  After you both upgrade her and her shop of course.  Altan had you attend Mercalius’s party in the last release.  While you were mostly interested in the beautiful women there, everyone else seems far more concerned with the dead body found the next morning.  Maybe if you investigate the latter you’ll get a chance at the former!  And using Terra’s new skills, Derek has added the last of the elemental hearts quest.  We aren’t quite there yet, but Eldari women will be on the menu soon!
 
 
Harem c7m6
Content additions
-In your first training session you learned quite a bit about Chinua.  It's time to start molding her into a suitable woman, and her fellow Elani Kathleen should be helpful in doing so.
-Rachel's shop has started selling Orichalcum weapons and if you do some work she might be able to add some armor into the shop.  And some new moves in the bedroo... dungeon!  After getting her assessed at first.
-While you met all kinds of beautiful women at Mercalius's party, everyone else seems more interested in the dead body found the morning after.  Maybe if you investigate the latter you'll find the former.
-The quest to find a way to get to the mysterious Eldari is coming to a close, but you'll need to find the earth elementals.  If you only had a woman in the harem who can sense elementals and just got a lot more powerful.
-Speaking of training, Donnie/Tomas is helping to train your women now. Angelica's turn, although her standards are quite high...
-6 new scenes added to the game!  (likely another 1-2 to come)
-181 new images, 186 pages of new text (likely another ~20 to come)
 
Bug fixes/QoL changes
-Updated a few characters at base
-Donna will relearn her Inner Focus skill if she had it in Celee
-Various portrait/text fixes
-Updated ch6+ mechanical guide to make it a bit more readable.
 
Overall, I’m happy with the new content in 7m6 and I hope you enjoy it!  And as always, I love to get any kind of feedback you have, my players have a huge amount of influence on how the game is developed.  I will be releasing a Harem 7m6.1 early next week as well.  I wanted to add a Legate+ scene and something in The King’s Pleasure, but I’m not sure if I’m having a writers block involving those or just a bit worn out.  So I decided to release 7m6 without and spend the weekend seeing if I can get those done for a .1 release.
 
And with 7m6 being released to my patrons ,7m5 becomes the public version!  My patrons may know Chinua’s secret, it is now your time to learn it in a very hands-on training session with her.  But the real highlight of 7m5 was the two parties.  Caliga finally is throwing his ball, meaning you’ll finally get your chance to see all of Claudia.  And Mercalius is throwing a party in Meti with a bunch of new women to meet, and a night alone with Angelica!  Mercalius is also the gatekeeper to get back into Celee, but you will have to earn his trust before he’ll let you back into that agitated area.
 
 
Harem c7m5
-After months of work to get invites, Caliga's ball is finally happening.  And with that, your night with Claudia and chance to make her into your woman!
-Speaking of parties, I could call c7m5 'The Tale of Two Parties'.  And Mercalius knows how to party... and he has a certain secretary that could use a taste of your power... and a rather hot wife!
-Chinua has been brought to your base for training in swordplay.  Time to teach her how to handle a piece of steel
-But it can't all be just fun and sexy bits.  Mercalius does have work to be done as well!
-A document has been added to /walkthroughs, outlining the History of Rata from Kathleen's perspective.  It will be added in-game in a later update
-5 new in-game scenes added (2 dance), 1 more to the Legate+ category
-224 pages of new text added, 207 new images
 
Bug fixes/QoL
-Numerous combat changes, reducing frequency of AoE from enemies and adding base attack to all enemies
-Fixed BGM assignment at start of game
-Numerous text/portrait/other issues.  Thanks for the reports TG
-Simplified Westlands Camps, shouldn't be possible to get stuck there anymore

And we’re back!

 

What an interesting few weeks.  Had to deal with a family emergency coming off of the 7m6 launch which soaked up the first week and then had the worst writer’s block I’ve ever had before.  Simply staring at Word unable to get anything going, and almost immediately junking everything a few paragraphs in.  And then just when the block starts to break, Patreon suspends my account.

 

But we’re back now!  Patreon updated its rules for mature content to be even more restrictive on what content is appropriate for public facing posts.  I actually agree with most of them as I simply don’t want minors playing Harem.  It is clearly an adult game and should only be played for adults.  When they came out with the new rules I had gone through my prior posts from 2018 and made sure that they were sanitized but didn’t bother with the 2017 and prior posts.  My bad, and when I got reviewed the account was locked until I fixed those.  A bit annoying, but mostly a result of me doing a half-@#$ed job on my first pass.  They’ve re-reviewed my page and it now meets their standards.

 

So where does that leave immediate development?  7m6 is fairly stable and I’ll try to clean up any of the small bugs for the 7m7 release.  The delays will push the 7m7 release into the middle of July instead of the beginning, but there isn’t going to be enough time to get enough done for an earlier release.  I’ll be coming be making more posts talking about what’s coming in 7m7, but for now, I just wanted to know that I’m back on Patreon’s good side!

Been playing through c7m5 from the beginning.  I am impressed by the amount of content that is in the game.  That said, in playing from the beginning I have discovered a few minor bugs that have probably gotten overlooked with time.

 

1. In the Eowen brothel, there is an issue with Donna and Cecilia when they are not whoring.  Donna shows up as having seen only one customer even when she has served more, while Cecilia shows as having one unique customer left even after you have seen her brothel event.  When set to whore both show the correct values.

 

2. When doing Fiona's second work quest, to get the lightning shards, the quest log still shows you as needing to collect bug shells.

 

I have also run across a few typos in various spots, unfortunately I have not been writing them down so I don't remember precisely where they are.  I know I saw a couple typos in the Castra Corson text for Samantha when Cecilia is whoring: praticing instead of practicing, the instead of then.

After a month’s delay, the Harem team is happy to release Harem c7m7! The new content in this release is you making the final preparations to strike against the corrupt and abusive Magister Caliga. There is much for you to gain, both ‘his’ woman Ehri and his province of Elan. And your allies in this will be able to offer you as much. You have been training their Keshig Chinua to be a powerful mage and warrior, it’s time to finish that training and make her your woman as well!
 
But the other provinces are not quiet. In what was supposed to be a friendly meet and greet with the nobility, an assassin struck down Lord Makath and nearly took your life as well. Praetor Mercalius as assigned you to track her down and punish her, and you have just the ‘punishment’ in mind! But it won’t be easy, she has powerful allies… or masters.
 
 
Harem c7m7
 
Content additions
-After months preparing to add Chinua to your Harem, she is as ready as she will ever be. Bring her back to her people one more time, show her more of Elan's history and she will show you everything!
-You met several interesting people at Caliga's ball before taking 'Claudia' home with you and making her yours. One of those was Ralap, asking for your help with an issue that he didn't want Caliga to know about. And this will prove to be a mythril opportunity to add the final touches to your plans to bring him down!
-A woman who you though was a simple courtesan at Mercalius's party turned out to be an assassin, killing Lord Makath and nearly killing you as well. You've put Noemi in charge of tracking her down and you'll start to discover this was not a onetime thing.
-While 'Ralph' is involved in most of the erotic events of the game, your women get up to their own activities. There's been two new categories added to the end of replay mode, off-camera Legate+ and public. As I can I'll be filling out these events. Currently there's a scene between Samantha and Cecilia in Celee, Donna's night with Jorge, the light and dark variants of Samantha's night with Terra in Elan, and Kathleen's service with Caliga.  The newest 3 of those will be reserved for my Legate+ patrons, every one beyond that will be viewable by everyone!
-You have been preparing your Elani allies for a strike against Caliga which should come in 7m8, but you can see what they're up to in the refuge and mine now.
-185 pages of new content, 176 new images. More images to come
-9 new scenes added, 2 more still coming!
 
Bug fixes
-Fixed an issue where Chinua's stone trainings would last too long
-Retroactively finished the issue where the above would break the refuge. Enter the refuge, it will force the refuge to the end state and let you see the last section of your discoveries.
-Fixed various timing issues: Terra must be evolved before training Chinua. You must have the portal key before the Corde Ball and recovering Rachel's shipment. Rachel won't asked to be assessed until you start chapter 7.
-Portal stone w/ Chinua should no longer crash the game.
-Many minor bugs/inconsistencies fixed pre ch7
 
There will be a c7m7.1. I have the next section of D/Ts training written as well as an additional commissioned scene from Bigglack for the Legate+, but I want to get Harem c7m7 out for my patrons ASAP and still need to image those. So while you all enjoy the new content and hopefully not finding bugs, I’m going to finish up the images. In a few days I’ll release .1 with those scenes added and any bugs fixed.
 
 
And I know that my public players have been eagerly awaiting the release of Harem c7m6, and with the patreon release the public version gets a free upgrade! c7m6 has you starting Chinua’s training for real, both as a powerful mage and a sensual woman with Kathleen’s guidance. And after months of work, Caliga is finally throwing his ball and going to give you the night with Claudia that he demanded so much for. The other provinces are active as well with Rachel getting herself into all kinds of trouble, both with others and you. But she will fully accept her spot in your harem and the rewards are there, both in scenes and gear! The other nobles of Rata are starting to notice you and Praetor Mercalius wants you to get them to know you better…. it’d be a shame if one of them ended up dead!

-Various portrait/text fixes
-Updated ch6+ mechanical guide to make it a bit more readable.
-Cleared up some character issues in talking with Netroe
-Added a line of whirlpools surrounding the land. Through text I try to make it clear that sea travel is impossible here, but it's not coming through clearly enough. I don't like the visual effect, but it works for now.
-Rachel's scene no longer repeatable.
-Added Chinua back to Namuhist convent post deer. No new events, but a nice view.

Harem c7m8.1 released to patrons, public version updated to c7m7.1
 
You have worked for months to create the trap to bring down Caliga in Elan, and your work is done.  Now is the time to add the bait and lure him in, putting you in charge of the province of Elan.  And command of all of the Elani women!  The search for Adeline continues as you start to understand who she is and how Bennaris controls his lethal assassin.  The path to return to Celee will begin to open and its Terra’s tun to be taught by Selene in The King’s Pleasure.  Harem c7m8 finished the storyline of Elan and I hope you all enjoyed the journey!

Hey everyone!  Just a few updates.  First, the 8m0 poll.  Rhea has really came out of nowhere to take the lead in this one.  Which only makes sense, I had scene ideas for every other woman in the poll so you all had to pick the one that I didn’t.  *sigh*  Nah, not upset at all about, I’ve had a few ideas for her in the back of my head and I just need to work out the details.
 
Overall progress on 8m0 is going very well.  Adeline’s capture and the resolution of her arc is completed by Altan and I’m about 75% of the way through rewriting it and getting it into code/images.  Derek’s done his part in Lesser Corsix, that’s all rewritten/imaged and needs coding.  I’ve been working on the quest to get you back into Celee.  It turned out to be more complex than it needed to be (as everything in Harem tends to be) but it should be quite exciting.  Vanessa will be heavily involved in both the quest and LC as she most associated with that zone.  You’re going to get to know Livia, Mercalius’s wife, quite a bit better and see more of Marianna than you’ve seen before.  And Leona will be yours.  Beyond that, I’m hoping to get Noemi’s TKP bit done, a scene with Jessica and Donnie/Tomas and the poll scene all in this month.  Fairly confident on those, a few bubble things I don’t want to mention right now.  Hopefully we get into beta next week and release the week after!
 
And to just some larger work going on.  I’m hoping that Hiro and Altan can take up most of the quests in Celee while I do just the code there.  Ideally I’d love to spend quite a bit of time working on moving the Tenta storyline along, as well as giving Eleanor and Isabella a bit of camera time as well (Eleanor light, lsabella dark) as well as flush out a bit more content in Elan and maybe even another encounter with the divine.
 
Should be a lot of fun to make, and I hope it will be enjoyable to play.  As always, thank you playing!

Dude, you last post is all messed up.

For some reason the post UI is really messed up for me here.  I never see my own text until I hit post, and links act weirdly.  It was just an update post, I'll remove it.

Harem c8m0 enters beta!

 

We’ve started the beta testing for Harem c8m0 a few days ago.  All the basic code is in and being tested and I’ll be layering in images, full text, and combat over the next week or two.  A huge thanks as always to all my beta team, both the new volunteers and the old testers.  Harem would be a buggy mess without them!

 

What’s definitely in:  Completing Mercalius’s quest to get back into Celee, that includes a scene with Vanessa as well as more time with both Marianna and Livia.  Adeline’s arc will be finished with her added to your harem and Nona hinting about a new woman to pursue.  You’ll be able to re-enter Lesser Corsix and meet a bunch of old characters and do a quest that might explain why you faced so many dangerous creatures in the ‘safe’ provinces.  Donnie/Tomas will get another shot at their ‘grand prize’ and Rhea will try to change the people of Lesser Corsix’s ideas about her.

 

What’s on the bubble still:  Leona’s arc is definitely being move along in 8m0, but I’m not sure if I’ll get it done and her in the harem in time.  I’d like to move Chinua’s arc another step but might run out of time.

 

What’s getting pushed into a later release:  Noemi’s TKP scene, Edrin/Fiona+Mary content, and the next step in the Eldari and Cecilia/Ariel lines.

 

But to end on a positive note, here’s a teaser of some of the women you’ll be meeting in Celee (not just 8m0).  You’ve gotten to know Isabella and Eleanor very well, but you’ll get to see far more of Baylee, Julianne, and Alice than you have before.  The Eldari line should finish somewhere in chapter 8 and there’s a few more characters I’ve hinted at that will start getting screen time!

Chapter 7 is officially in the past! You rule Elan by proxy without anyone being the wiser and Ehri is scouring the province for women to aide your people. It’s time to set your sites on other women. Adeline tried to kill you in Meti, now it’s time to add her to your harem! Although you would have done that even if she wasn’t ordered to kill you… if she just caught your eye… but that’s not the important thing. She is skilled and beautiful so she will be yours. Speaking of beautiful women, there’s some that you missed on your first trip through Celee. Events are happening that will force Mercalius to owe you significant favors… the least of which is re-entry into Celee! You’ll learn far more about his beautiful wife Livia, see more of Legate Marianna than you ever have before, and get to spend some ‘quality’ time with your own Centura as you investigate a series of brutal murders in Corsix. After you have saved more than just his city, it’s time to revisit some old friends in Lesser Corsix and find out what’s happened to your allies why you were gone and maybe why even the Ratan provinces seemed full of monsters trying to kill you. Oh, Leona and Chinua go topless!

Content additions
-A crisis in Corsix may be just the opportunity you need to convince Mercalius that you're trustworthy enough to be allowed back into Celee. And you get to see more of his beautiful wife.
-It's clear that Adeline is just a weapon in Lord Bennaris's hands. A woman like that should be a sword in your hand, and a sheathe in your bed.
-All you know is that Legate Marianna is powerful and beautiful. You're about to find out that she is both beautiful and powerful.
-Back in Celee, things have been happening while you were gone. And they'll need your help to sort them out again.
-Chinua may have sworn to you in her people's way, but the Ratans won't respect that. You'll need to find a way to make her yours officially as well (portal stone)
-Minor changes to Benjamin in the gateway inn, updating his dialogue as the plot progresses.
-4 new scenes
-~225 pages of new text, ~190 new images

Bug fixes
-Reset Rhea, Naitay, and Donnie's skill to get them in the right spots.
-Fixed a bug with Caliga where you couldn't enter his office.
-Many text/continuity issues

And you may have heard that we finished chapter 7 and conquered Elan! While I don’t think either of those really qualify as spoilers, now everyone gets to see how not just the supporters on patreon. c7m8 is the conclusion to Elan, you’ve made his woman swear loyalty to you now it’s time to do the same to him… in a very different way of course! Adeline has tried to kill you, but you learned that she was just following orders. Time to find out who is controlling her and how they do it. Corsix is no more quiet than Elan and Denai are, the events that will allow you to return to Celee are just getting started in c7m8! Enjoy, as Donnie/Tomas gets a chance to enjoy Kathleen while Terra teaches you how to enjoy a masochistic woman.

Harem c8m1 released to patrons, c8m0 to public!

 

Harem c8m1 is ready for release!  Definitely smaller than I was hoping but there was enough ready to ship to pack it up for you all!  I had said before that 8m1 was going to be more focused on scenes, and that is definitely what it was.  Samantha’s confidence was dinged by Cecilia’s trickery, but not that Cecilia has been taken care of its time to start building her back up.  And since it’s Harem, that’s done in bed.  Adeline’s sworn her loyalty to you, time to learn a bit more about her as well.  In bed, of course.  And after Kathleen’s lesson, Donnie or Tomas is ready to try his new ‘skills’ with Jessica.  Although they don’t end up making to the bed until quite a bit later.  Both Samantha’s and Jessica’s scene take place in Lesser Corsix’s inn after the Tower quest.

 

I was able to sneak a bit of plot into 8m1!  Bring Chinua to Mercalius after you get access to Celee to add her to your harem officially.

 

https://www.patreon.com/posts/23030898

c8m1 - Small release due to holidays and injury

-As you travel through Celee again, your women still desire a night with you.  After the Tower, it's Samantha's night.  Be nice and treat her to a night in an inn instead of a bedroll.

-You have leashed the dangerous assassin, Adeline.  Time to get to know her a bit better, in all senses of the word.

-You and Tomas both remember the emotional conversation between Donnie and Jessica in Lesser Corsix's inn many months ago... Lets see how round 2 goes after Kathleen's turn with them.

-Another mage is part of your harem now, but your ally advises that simply bringing her to the assessor may be an issue.  Talk to Mercalius about her instead!

-3 new scenes added

-52 images added, 54 new pages of text.

-Redid Fiona's shop.  Less fancy, less of a code-nightmare

 

Bug fixes/QoL

-Angelica added back into party if she didn't rejoin after Adeline

 

And to the public, 8m0!  Chapter 7 is officially in the past! You rule Elan by proxy without anyone being the wiser and Ehri is scouring the province for women to aide your people. It’s time to set your sites on other women. Adeline tried to kill you in Meti, now it’s time to add her to your harem! Although you would have done that even if she wasn’t ordered to kill you… if she just caught your eye… but that’s not the important thing. She is skilled and beautiful so she will be yours.

Harem c8m1.1 and c8m0.1 hotfixes released

 

There was a bug where if you went into the mines to Celee immediately after Mercalius’s permission and then doubled back before entering Celee, you’d time-warp back into the trial sequence.  If you’ve already done anything in Celee chapter 8 you aren’t at any risk and you can ignore this hotfix.  If you were affected I might be able to resolve the issue but only if you didn’t start doing the trial activities.  Email me your save if you were affected.

Beyond that, things are going quite well in terms of Development.  We’re nearly ready for the 8m2 beta which will be heavily focused on Celee.  Old places will have new events in them (Castra), old friends will need help (Benjamin in Lesser Corsix), old friends will want attention (Rhea and Noemi), and you’ll get to meet some new friends (Valarie, Nona’s daughter).  With any luck we’ll be in beta before this weekend and have Harem c8m2 out to patrons and c8m1 out to public for Christmas!

 

Note: If your running into issues with Angelica, go into system-debug-character reset and that should bring her back.  If it doesn't, let me know.

Happy Holidays, I cum bearing gifts! (8m2 release)

1251150750_8m2front.jpg.ddf2f2aa8687da1d8304985b8a8e9070.jpg

Harem c8m2 is ready for my patrons, well before the holiday. You have gotten permission to re-enter Celee only to find that the Ratan army has all but reconquered the colonies. Your old friends and allies will need your help, and you are looking forward to meeting a few new friends… and adding them to your Harem! Nona may think her daughter is too wise to fall for your wiles, but she’s never felt the full power of them. Her daughter, Valerie, will. But first you have to get to her deeper in Celee, fortunately you’ve bypasses a blockade by Lesser Corsix in the past! Oh, and Noemi learns a few new tricks in The King’s Pleasure. Assuming you pay Selene, of course.

-You've been away from your Castra for too long. You acquired it first to find a way into Lesser Corsix, now it will be able to get you past Lesser Corsix.
-And with access to more of Celee, Valerie is out there somewhere. Maybe a new army buddy of yours will know where she is.
-The Celeean Swords were good allies and rewarded you well in the past. Benjamin in Lesser Corsix needs your help again.
-Noemi accepts you as her god, but she's still a willful woman. Selene might have a new trick to teach her in The King's Pleasure.
-4 new scenes add (View Noemi's training in replay mode)
-177 pages of new content, 109 new images

Bug Fix/QoL
-Fixed Freeze in Fiona's chapter 7 content (also fixed in 8m1)

And with the c8m2 release, Harem c8m1 goes out to the public. Unfortunately this was a smaller release due to both an injury and the holidays. But you get a few fun romps with your slaves and Donnie/Tomas gets another shot at Jessica!

-As you travel through Celee again, your women still desire a night with you. After the Tower, it's Samantha's night. Be nice and treat her to a night in an inn instead of a bedroll.
-You have leashed the dangerous assassin, Adeline. Time to get to know her a bit better, in all senses of the word.
-You and Tomas both remember the emotional conversation between Donnie and Jessica in Lesser Corsix's inn many months ago... Lets see how round 2 goes after Kathleen's turn with them.

8m3 update
837707764_8m3update.jpg.d917dcadc99e31c3c7dba6f5366a47f4.jpg

I hope you all had a great holidays! I enjoyed mine quite a bit, feeling good enough to travel for the entire period and visit both my family and friends. Lots of fun, but time to get our noses back to our grindstone.

 

For the last week I’ve been putting together content for the Harem c8m3 release. This will be a smaller release due to the holidays, hoping to get about 100 pages and images or so. I left you with a bit of a cliffhanger after being sent away from Valerie unsatisfied, but Noemi and Phoebe were waiting to help you with that. They’ll take their turns satisfying you before Valerie sends you on another quest. But you’ll should get a bit more than just a feel for this one.

 

Beyond that, I’m just about caught up with the patreon poll scenes. Noemi’s was done last month, I worked out all what I wanted for Rhea’s scenes so those should be in 8m3 (both light and dark). Just finishing up those, I’ll likely do Vanessa’s TKP and the start up a poll for the next one. I’ve also had a fun idea for Cecilia’s assessment. She’s the only woman who wouldn’t call you master on entering Corsix, it’s time to have a bit of fun making that official now. I’m also going to get a Legate+ scene done, sorry the last one got caught up in the holidays.

 

I want to enter beta this week, which there are a bunch of things that we just won’t have time to get to due to the shortened dev cycle. I have a good start on Mercalius/Livia’s next bit, but not enough to get done in a reasonable amount of time. Derek’s gotten most of Eowen’s start done and Altan has Baylie nearly done, but neither of those are done enough to push into 8m3. 8m4 should be either early or large, we’ll have to see.

 

Anyways, thank you for the support as always!

Harem c8m3 is ready for you all!  You met Nona’s young daughter Valerie last month.  A quite headstrong woman, capable of making her own decisions both in terms of getting her mother’s quest done and how she conducts herself in private.  She’s quite fond of you, you’re quite attracted to her.  Time to let things play out, but of course there is that pesky quest she needs done first… oh, and your own needs to satisfy beforehand.  Fortunately, Phoebe and Noemi are more than eager to take care of anything she wasn’t willing to the night before!

 

There’s both new business to get started and old business to take care of.  Cecilia was the only woman you entered Corsix with that wasn’t willing to call you her master in front of the assessor.  Now you’ve changed her mind, time to correct that prior mistake.  During one of my latest polls, you all said you wanted to see more of Rhea.  8m3 adds in a pair of scenes for her, one light and one dark.  And any Legate+ Patrons get to see a new scene in the “Angie’s in Charge” line, “Laura - Not What You Want, What I Want (dark)”.

c8m3 - Holiday shortened, scene focused!

Content additions:

-Valerie blueballed you pretty hard last night, but not an issue to a man with a Harem.  Noemi and Phoebe are waiting for you in Phoebe's house in the Cheli village

-Speaking of Valerie, time to move beyond first base with her.  She has another quest and scene for you

-Of all the women you took in Celee, only Celee refused to be assessed.  She has submitted, time to bring her back to the assessor.

-Rhea has a new light and dark scene.  Light is in Lesser Corsix, Dark (group) is back in base.

-7 new scenes (2 group, 1 Rhea, 3 Cecilia, 1 Valerie)

-101 pages of new text, 146 new images

-Many minor bug fixes

 

With that, Harem c8m2 goes out to the public.  Another smaller release due to holidays/health, but also packed with titillating content!  The Castra had been your primary base during your time in Celee, now that you’re back into Celee you’ll want to occupy it again… assuming nothing else has.  Nona has asked you to look after her young daughter she sent into Celee to complete a mysterious quest… but she’s old enough to be an adult which makes her old enough if she’s worthy of your attentions.  And if you made allies during your previous escapades in Celee, it’s time to check on them.  Starting with Benjamin in Lesser Corsix.

Harem c8m3.1/c8m2.1 released!

 
Fairly minor bugfix version, the only critical issue was a freeze when entering the Cheli Village while Noemi was busy.  A few text/image fixes and you'll stop seeing version after every load.  All prior replay files will work.

I’ve been hearing the feedback that the combat/mechanics in Harem could use improvement. While this is something I’ve always agreed with, it’s always been a question of priority to me. Spend hours tweaking stats and abilities or write another scene/plot point. Generally I’ve been happy keeping the gameplay ‘acceptable’ and trying to make the story excellent.
 
A few months ago a patron, TG22, joined the testing team and has proven himself very knowledgeable on the inner working on the RPG-maker combat systems. Far more knowledgeable than me tbh. A few weeks ago I asked him if he would be willing to get take on a larger role, moving into a developer role and go looking through the code and design to see how he could improve them.
 
And holy *^%& has he been working on it. He’s fixed many issues with enemies and skills already, so things should work closer to how they’ve been described. He’s helped me rework both Rhea and Vanessa already, trying to keep their core concepts around but make them more interesting and interactive characters to play with. As well as improving quite a few scripts and code that I can’t even pretend to understand. So a huge thanks to him.
 
And this is the ideal time to give us suggestions on how you’d like the mechanics of Harem improved. Which characters could be more interesting to play, which enemies more interesting to fight.  The actual gameplay of Harem, not story or personalities. He’ll check here occasionally and I’ll relay key points to him as I see them.
 
Just as always, keep in mind these will be suggestions only. Some we won’t be able to do, some we’ll choose not to do. But we genuinely do want to hear your opinions on this.
 
And both thank you to TG22 and a big welcome to the dev team!
 
There's also a 8m4 update post on Patreon right now, check it out if you want to know what's upcoming!

you could do a lets play Haha. i question where to upload it anywhere else then on pornhub though. the game looked interesting in itself, but something that id rather watch then play.

 

Do a noble hearted playthrough if you decide to do a lets play

There is a difficultly slider in the game.  Tune it down to -100 and combat should be trivial.

Harem c8m4 released to patrons, public version upgraded to c8m3!

728019300_c8m4back.jpg.6c5eb5290374ada6d35f83e7504c46cc.jpg1066762193_c8m4front.jpg.f2f197bf27bcc1556320259d2fd73cf9.jpg
Harem c8m4 is ready for my wonderful patrons! As we push further into Celee, the gates of Eowen is finally open to you. While Hanno and your brothel will be opened later, there are two huge things to do there. First, you’ll be able to extend your portal network into Celee after helping one of your allies’ lieutenants. But considering they’re both beautiful women, that’s hardly work! Second, you had met a beautiful waitress, the slave Baylie, in Eowen before. Her owner wasn’t willing to sell her until he could travel to Eowen to purchase a replacement, but that passage is open now. Although you remember she was a bit odd…

But the Empire is still full of women for you to find. Livia, Mercalius’s wife, was injured in Booker’s attack. She’s not taking male visitors while she recuperates, but you have healers that could help her. And a woman in the inside would be useful, if only temporarily.

And we’ve completed the first stage of our combat upgrade. There were quite a few characters that were either ineffective or boring to use. Vanessa’s tanking ability is improved. Rhea, Naitay, and Sarah’s characters have new fundamental mechanics. Jessica, Terra, and Angelica have gotten tweaks as well and many enemy/gear/item fixes.

c8m4  https://www.patreon.com/posts/24886685

Content additions
-Livia’s healing is going slower than you’d like. After meeting Aries in your Castra, you can assign a healer to help her recovery and possibly her husband’s needs.
-Eowen is now opened to explore and talk to the citizens after meeting Valarie in the Cheli village and speaking to the chieftain. Hanno is slated for 8m5, the brothel in the near future.
-Your ally has sent one of her most trusted lieutenants to set up a new portal for you in Eowen, but she may need help for it to be finished.
-While you got most of the women in you wanted in Celee before, a few got away. Baylie’s, the waitress in Eowen, wouldn’t sell her until the way to Corsix was opened.  Well you opened it, time to get her!
-Phase 1 of the combat improvement completed! We went through and tried to improve a few of the less useful or interesting character’s design and skills. Sarah, Rhea, Jessica, and Naitay have all received significant changes. Vanessa, Terra, Angelica, and Donna have received tweaks as well.
-6 new scenes added to the game
-~190 new pages of text, `~190 new images

Other adjustments:
-All characters had to be unequipped for the new designs. Make sure to equip them again.
-Large shields have been buffed by 33% but made exclusive to Ralph and Vanessa
-Many more skills will crit now, many monsters, skills, item, and animations fixed.
-Note: Because Mercalius doesn't return Donna until 8m5 and she's required for a few of Baylie's events, the game "forgets" Donna shouldn't be in the base. She won't be in combat, but she will be in your Denai base. This "bug" will be fixed in 8m5. Please don't report it.
-Added a combat glossary to help explain the mechanics.

And with c8m4 out to patrons, c8m3 becomes free to the public! This is a bit of a shorter release due to the holidays, but still had some quality content.. and by that I mean scenes, scenes, and more scenes! Valerie gets a taste of you for the first time, Noemi and Phoebe get their 789th (est) turn. Rhea gets introduced to your harem in the dark route, and reintroduces herself to the people of Eowen. And Cecilia gets her turn in front of the assessor!
