Harem c8m4 released Sep 6 2019

[Zaiaku666]

For some reason, when I beat the jungle orcs that are going after a merchant, the game closes on me. Something about a c++ error or sumthing. I didn't really pay attention.

[valten]

When I try to enter the jungle orc village, the music begins to start, then the game crashes. Says RGSS2 player has stopped working.

[ker]

Ok, I'll have to look at that for final. Could either of you send me a save from right before than so I can take a look myself?

[valten]

Well, that's the save file I have.

[Giruuruk]

I've noticed a bug, I think.

Taking the light path, I'm at the tenta place, and the leader says that we'll eat, but then everything turns black. I can press x to make the menu pop up, but that's it.

[ker]

Use the id ring to clear that bug. Resolved in patch 1.1

[ker]

Zaia and Valt - I can't replicate the issue using 1.1 and dev, even using the provided save.

One of two things may be going on. There was a stealth patch to VX in July bringing it up to 1.03a. In theory the RTP updated at the same time. If you're using an older version you may want get the newest RTP. If that doesn't help then try deleting and redownloading Harem, maybe there was something corrupted.

[Zaiaku666]

Hmm...Well, other than the Jungle Orc, I got a question, I finished getting Ariel, now I need to find Vanessa, however i seemed to have missed where to find her. So, help?

[ker]

Fixes
-Noemi not appearing properly in early content. Retroactive, if you haven't cleared Western Corsix go back to your quarters in the fortress for a visit. As usual, requires her jail scene and clearing tentacle caves 1
-A freeze when talking to Teresa after freeing Terra. Retroactive
-Credits should roll again.
-During Samantha's job you can't repeatedly get drinks or masturbate into them
-Fixed an issue in the hunter quests where you might not get spawns again.
-Countless typos and grammar issues

-There's also a side issue going on. Evidently Enterbrain updated VX to 1.03a this July and never told their english-speaking customers about it. But it does cause some discrepancies between the different executable and RTPs. If you've been having crashes try downloading and re-installing the RTP too see if that helps. Even if (actually especially if) you've had it on your computer for years. I think this is the cause of the jungle orc crashes as I haven't been able to replicate any of them.

[ker]

So I think that we've found and killed every major bug in the 0.6b so I'm going to make 0.6b.3 the final version. Resolved since the public beta was release was

-A great deal of issues with the cleanup after Terra including Vanessa, Cecilia, and Ariel with their associated events.
-Fadeouts in the Tenta enclave should be fixed.
-The brothel should spawn more customers, but customers will only spawn the the player is 'at risk'. Walking around town will not generate customers!
-Changed the text skip button from shift to control so it stops clipping with sprint.
-Tram conversation topic reworked. If you don't know what to do after recapturing Terra talk to Teresa or Danielle about the tram. Other subjects need to be discussed first.
-Tentacle caves should work properly now.
-Noemi's capture sequence adjsuted so it should be more reliable.
-as102p and HirotonoRei did a great deal of copy editing so the game should read much cleaner now.

Note : Sometime between now and July the RTP for VX changed. If you get crashes around the jungle orcs or with any missing files please download and reinstall it new. Harem should have absolutely no crashes from missing files in the final version.

0.6b.4 final. Rar file with the images and songs at 'normal' quality. 150mb, just unpack and play after installing RTP.

Fix 5 things, break one thing I guess. There was an issue with 0.6b.3 with the dig site which caused a freeze. Also the packed version evidently blew up.

-I haven't counted precisely yet, but 0.6b should bring on another 100-150 pages of text and another 30 scenes or so. Wow I really am developing like Valve.

Wow Ker I'm glad you are both refining Harem and adding new content, thank you for the effort!
Can I ask where the new content is mostly located? I mean: It's a bit everywhere along the storyline, or you picked up where it ended in the previous version? (I played the 0.6.a.3)

Also I'll paste my personal preferences for future development, I really loved (gameplay wise) the work you did on Corsix (the trial):

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

- As a general preference, I'd like to see more scenes "outside" the main characters. I find seeing the girls interact with others too is a lot more entertaining than "the main characters fucks everything"
- An example of the previous suggestion could be to extend the relashionship between Jessica and the blonde guy (the mage)...I've seen the two on the dark path and he seemed interested in "positively annoy" here for example ...or him again with others. Or Naomi with the "tax collector" guy, since she's with him along with the others..and so on..
- As another general suggestion, I'd recommend to not include too many others female characters and dive deeper with the ones you already have (unless you are strong enough to support new ones )
- Vengeance on those who vote you guilty? (I'm sure it is planned)
- More Samantha and Donna or Samantha and the others
- Rhea on the dark path?

Good luck, I'll check more often from now on to be able to help with betatesting.
PS: happy holidays.

you sure are working hard ker...these past few day had a lot of uploads! thanks

More of many gamebreaking bugs that were introduced at way too late of a date!

Edit : Speaking of which
Fixed an issue w/ the stone blocking the path to the dig site not being removed. Should fix the problem retroactively.

Sweet Jesus ker you are a hard worker, even on the 25th. Just a question - you wouldn't know if the VX RTP error also applies to VX Ace? I have a recent copy of VX Ace (I think sometime around April) and just wanted to see if that would impact it. And I agree, they are terrible at informing you of updates.
Edit - scratch that, apparently the update does bugger Ace, it doesn't even register as compatible anymore. This is why no-one else ever has Ace...

[Dragice]

Oh, small bug, not sure if anything important, with the new bounty quests, the pirates one, there's a brief mention of a pirate "heading towards the table. Maybe you should check it out" or something of the like. This doesn't seem to lead to anything though. Nothing immediately obvious anyway. Oh, this is first town too.

[ker]

Hopefully this is the last of the patches!

Fixes -
-Terra will either be with Vanessa or in the barracks on the dark path, not both at once.
-Charmike is accessible. Useless, but accessible
-Fixed a few block events in Western Rata map
-Noemi will appear at the right time in the grove
-Increased the speed of the tentacle ambush in eastern mines. Should happen more reliably now. Should also be a retroactive fix.

If you have any issues with the jungle orc village please uninstall your current rtp and redownload it. I believe that issue was caused by an update the was released in secret.

First of all, I definitely need to congratulate you to the absolutely brilliant game of yours! (and that you keep on working on it.)

It took me around 13 hrs to "finish" it (well, at least til I reached the last release's end). However, I may point out a few things about your game that caught my eye and that still can be improved (not that much in your game though, lol):
-Butterflies: They're sometimes(?) put "Same as Characters", but I personally think that it seems more natural if you could walk beneath them, so if you put them "Above Characters" your path wouldn't be blocked off by an insect, lol. I also noticed that they (maybe due to their setting as "Same as Characters") don't even move.
-Invisible Blocks: Especially in the new area there are a lot of things which were mapped sloppily (though I'm pretty sure they'll be overhauled in the future either way). In the Tenta castle, for instance, there is a bunch of chairs, some are put "Same as Characters", others are below. Same goes for the big plaza where the woman (sorry, I forgot her name) stands. This is like a labyrinth with a lotta invisible blocks.
-There are some major bugs concerning the slaves' adventures before the trial. You can, for example, approach the taxpayer with any slave and he'll still call them "Noemi" and the day will end.
-Okay, it's the same old story, but there are a few spelling mistakes in your textboxes. Nothing to complain about as there aren't a lot considering the volume of your game but I just wanted to mention it, haha.
Plus, I just wondered, why did you always write "come" instead of "cum"? lol

I also got a little present for you (or other users here on the forum), some save files, if you'd need them (they're all light path):
Save 1: Right before entering Corsix (you still have the chance to "Go back")
http://www.file-upload.net/download-848 ... vdata.html
Save 2: Second last day of the slaves' adventures before the trial
http://www.file-upload.net/download-848 ... vdata.html
Save 3: End of current release
http://www.file-upload.net/download-848 ... vdata.html

All the best!
