Harem c8m4 released Sep 6 2019

[hornyninja]

Been enjoying the remake! Definitely an improvement from the previous version. Keep up the good work let! Not a fan of the mc who turns from gentleman to asshole on a dime, but enjoying the harem girls! It's a skill to include so many characters and make them all interesting to some degree.

Looking forward to 6.6!

Harem c6m6 update! Beta testing begins.

We started the early Beta testing for Harem c6m6 on Sunday and all my fantastic testers are digging through the code to find all the bugs. Release should still be about the 15th. And another piece of good news with it: I think I figured out how I want to deal with Cecilia’s submission, but storywise and gameplay wise. With how late that block broke there isn’t enough time to develop anything beyond the next step, but her (re)downfall is near!

And to address a question that came up on Discord today: I want to move the release for each month’s content back to around the 5th instead of the 15th. What I’m looking for is a month where I can generate enough content in a 3 week span to move the release date. This month didn’t work because opening up a new zone is time consuming even without content, and Hiro had been having personal obligations keeping him away from writing. Even t51 decided to move across the country which slowed down his usual production as well.

My own health is back, it sounds like their lives are getting back in order, and I’m working on bringing in a 4th writer so we can try to get back to that 2-300 pages/month content level. When we get closer, I’ll be giving you more details on that. But there is a lot more content to come! I’m doing my best to make sure that July-October is just a dip in the schedule, not the new normal.

[ker]

Harem c6m6 is ready for release! All your women are back in your harem, but one still resists you. Cecilia has managed to resist your power more than any other women, but how is a complete mystery. Your other slaves might have some ideas on how she does it. It’s also time to look for new lands and new women. Kathleen is striking beautiful and from the province of Elan. More women like her would be worth a great deal of work. But what has happened in the intervening centuries… And of course there’s more than that going on. Fiona and Yvone have been left alone or too long, and Rachel is due another visit in your shop.

content additions
-Cecilia still waits for you in the dungeon, but the quest to make her accept her place as your slave will take you far afield.
-Kathleen hasn't seen her home province of Elan for centuries. With your harem full again, it's time to explore new lands and learn more about Kathleen's people and her.
-Fiona was left in Corsix to run her shop while you were in Denai. It's time to pay her a visit if you captured her in Eowen.
-Speaking of left in Corsix, what has Yvone been up to? (Patreon poll scene)
-You have set Rachel up with a shop in Denai and given her some time to run it. Now rent is due, but you'll gladly take payment in her instead of gold.

-144 pages of content, another ~40 or so coming soon in Legate+ scenes
-131 new images, another ~40 or so coming soon in Legate+ scenes

And with that, c6m5 will be released to the public! Terra, Samantha, and Noemi are back in your harem, and you’ve added Vanessa and Ariel as well. There are many other beautiful women in Denai and Corsixa, it’s time to turn your attention to them. You will (finally) be able to add Alena to your harem on the light route, Rhea on the dark! Leona and Alison are also both worthy to be part of your quest, but taking them might be a challenge! But you can’t ignore the women already with you, both Vanessa and Noemi get some attention this release as well!

Welcome Altan to the team and 6m7 update!

First, I want to welcome Altan to the Harem team! He’s been a patron of the game for a while and an active member on discord. We’ve done quite a bit of talking about writing and character, and he impressed me with a few samples of his work. Enough so I offered him some of my hard-earned Patreon money to write for the game, and he agreed. He’s doing a cool sidequest series in Denai for 6m7. And I’ll have a lot more to announce about his work in the future, but that’s for later!

With his work, and t51b’s work, I’m hoping to move the release of 6m7 up. I’m not saying the 5th, but I’m hoping for the first half of the month at least. What we’re hoping to get into 6m7 in November
-The next step in Elan, where you gain access to Senesca, find out a bit of it’s history and the artifact that you’ll need to bypass Cecilia’s “abilities”
-Further progress with Rachel. She won’t be joining the harem yet, but you’ll get further into her “story” than ever before!
-t51b is working more on Fiona, and we should have Mary in the harem during 6m7 if you captured Fiona in Eowen, and a step further along Fiona’s story if she got away before!
-Altan’s questline in Denai, ending with a nice reward scene!
-The winner of the patreon poll scene! Naitay’s currently winning with 2 days left to vote!

[ker]

And Harem c6m7 is ready for release! After proving your mettle to Magister Caliga, you’ll get an opportunity to enter Senesca and find a few of its treasures. Kathleen will be most interested to see what you learn. Until her duties demand a different kind of attention from her! Heather has found you more opportunities in Denai for profit, and it Fiona has FINALLY remembered that she owned a beautiful maid that she left in Celee. You’ve made Rachel’s shop in Denai the best weapon shop in town, but she might still be asking for more before consummation your relationship. But what will you ask for in return? All that in more in Harem c6m7!

c6m7
Content additions
-You need to get into the ruins of Senesca to find the Mask to break Cecilia's resistance and find out what happened to Kathleen's people. You'll get your first chance to enter this dangerous area...
-With all of the chaos caused by your actions in the province of Denai, there are sure to be additional problems. If Heather is in your harem, she can find a way for you to benefit from it.
-It's time to consummate this relationship with Rachel. What does she want, and what is she willing to offer? And more importantly, what do you plan to take.
-In her first time in the Ratan provinces, Naitay would certainly have some things to say about them. If you've completed the Senesca exploration, take the time to find out what and give her a piece of your 'mind' in return.
-And in the 'Well, it's about @$^*ing time category', Fiona finally remembers that she owned a beautiful maid in Eowen. If you captured Fiona in Eowen, it's time to add her maid Mary to your harem as well.
-8 new scenes added, 2 more for Legates+ in c6m7.1 (due out in a few days)
-150 pages of new content, 143 new images

Bug Fixes
-Eldari cave accessible after Vanessa's check in again
-If Jessica left your party after capture, she'll rejoin
-Kathleen’s collar should have been removed either after her quest or entering Corsix, stats add to her directly. Resolved.

And lets do some teasers this time around. Got out of the habit of that, and it's a good habit to have!

There’s only 2 days left to vote for the 6m8 scene. Either Vanessa/Terra, Fenja/Nicole, or Ariel/Rhea will be spending a passion filled night with you in the next release. Currently Vanessa and Terra are up by 12 votes, but like 300 patrons haven’t taken the time to vote yet, so it’s still way too early to call!

https://www.patreon.com/posts/development-poll-8347674

If you are a patron, please take the time to cast your vote. If you aren’t a patron yet and have a pairing you want to see, any pledge $2 or greater will get you a vote! And any pledge of $5 or more to support the development of Harem will also get you instant access to the new 6m8 content!

Speaking of that, let’s do a few 6m8 teasers!

[ker]

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow, the Harem family sure has grown in the last year. So many new characters, all unique and beautiful in their own way, and all now part of your quest. Everyone on the Harem team wants to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and I am both humbled and thankful for your amazing support. Your generosity is what lets me make this game for you all to enjoy!

Terra and Vanessa won the 6m8 poll handily, so they will be on the menu in the next release! Beyond that, you’ll have to wait for my body to finish processing all the Tryptophan before I let you know all of what’s coming for you in December!

And of course, a few more teasers of the content all the patrons are enjoying over the Thanksgiving break. You could spend the day after Thanksgiving fighting through the crowds at your local shops, watching some bad movies, or enjoying more porn! I know which one I would do!

Harem c6m8 released to Patrons, 6m7 out to the public!

Harem c6m8 is ready for all my wonderful patrons to enjoy! You’ve gained access to Senesca and learned a few of its mysteries. Time to report back to the Magister and get an odd gift in return. Your quest to find new women to add to your harem moves on. Hiro added content to the Eldari questline and I decided that series really needed some adult content, so quite a bit there. And lets not forget the Tenta, that mysterious group of warrior women. They all belong with you, but what do they know about you already? Talk to Rhea or Alena to find out! Additional content for Laura, Donnie/Tomas (optional), and some prep-work for The King’s Pleasure.

There’s also a large segment to bring Rhea up to speed on the light route. Teaching me that the most difficult choice to plan around is the choice not to do something. No new scenes are in it, but if you’re an absolute completionist you learn a bit more about Rhea and the Tenta during it.

Finally, I want to comment on Patron’s upcoming change to pledges and processing fees. I’m against it. It makes the smaller pledges considerably more expensive, and while Harem has many generous patrons, those $5 and less pledges make up the bulk of my income. Patreon, don’t mess with em!

Enough talk, Harem c6m8 link! (requires $5+ pledge)

c6m8
Content additions
-The Elan story continues! After a night with Kathleen in the inn, you return to Caliga and report what you found in Senesca. Or at least, what he needs to know
-With several provinces open to you, there must be more places to collect Elemental Hearts to find the Eldari. Phoebe will have several quests for you, and one quite enjoyable misunderstanding.
-Additional scenes with Rhea and Alena (Light and Dark, respectively) learning more of what the Tenta's do to women in their enclave.
-You took Laurent, Jacob's son, from Corsix. Now you have Laura, a beautiful slave. This will take a bit of talking to work out.
-Two Evocati wanted to commission scenes inside of the game, so both Phoebe/Kat's scene and a training sequence for Donnie/Tomas are theirs!
-If you didn't capture Rhea in Lesser Corsix on the Light route, you can now get her into your harem after taking care of Vanessa.
-5 new scenes, 2 variants for Rhea's reconciliation, and 1 new Legate scene!
-148 pages of new content, 164 new images!

Bug fixes
-Fixed a repeat issue with Laura/Laurent and her father.
-Fixed an issue where could you get blocked out of the villages during Heather's quest.
Retcon
-The Magister meeting now triggers immediately after Senesca. It will trigger when you enter is basement chambers

And with that, the public gets access to what my patrons have been enjoying for the last month, c6m7! It’s time to find out what secrets Senesca holds, and more time finding out about Kathleen as well. Rachel has been just out of reach for too long, but after everything you’ve done for it, its past time to make her yours. And Fiona FINALLY remembers that she had a maid that you may want as well. Heather also has a new questline for you!

I hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed 6m8 if you’re a patron, 6m7 if you’re playing the free version! I’ve released 6m8.1 to patrons to fix what few bugs slipped through testing and didn’t get any new ones over the weekend, so I’m calling 6m8 done and moving onto 6m9.

Plans for Harem c6m9
-What I want to give you for the holidays more than anything else is Cecilia on her knees, so I’m going to try to work through that. There might be a retcon switching Noemi’s and Samantha’s roles in it.
-We set up Selene training your women in the King’s Pleasure in 6m8, and I hope to add two trainings to it. Sarah will introduce how the trainings work and Jessica will have a training also.
-The next few steps in Elan. Caliga’s actions have convinced you he needs to be brought low on both routes, so lets get to it!
-If somehow I get all that done, I hope to start to do some more things with Rhea/Alena and the Tenta. And have another session with Alison. And another scene with Eleanor/Isabella. And more with Terra. So much to do, so little time!
-T51 wants to get another segment or two with Leona done, with Phoebe and Noemi trying to get her alone and possible an attempt from you as well. He also is trying to get Fiona capturable in Corsix if you missed the chance in Eowen.
-Altan has a quest idea involving the Betans/Namhists with some sparkling loot at the end of it for you.
-Hiro’s been sick, so Edrin will likely cool his jets in that cell for another month.

Nothing close to a release date yet, and keep in mind these are just what we want to get done, not a promise for what will be in 6m9. I’ll keep you all updated as the month goes on!

And to all the free players. You know we love you all, but I have to try to tempt you into becoming patrons every month. So teasers for what you’re missing, 6m8 content!

[ker]

Just a brief status update for you all!

First, I hope you all had a great holiday! Whether you spent it with family, friends, or the women of harem! I enjoyed it myself, and even was able to get a bit of writing done each morning.

We’re still mostly on schedule. I have the TKP trainings 80% done and the next section of Elan about 75% done. Cecilia is still proving to be a writer’s block, but I think I can get through it for this release. I might end up ret-conning the path for Cecilia’s breaking though. Terra will still do the convincing option, but I might have Samantha do the pleasure route and Noemi do the ‘not-pleasure’ route. Mostly because Samantha is far more familiar with a woman’s pleasure centers than Noemi is. Let me know if you have any thoughts on that! With any luck we’ll be in testing by the end of the year. The code of TKP is entirely done, the Elan code will be complete by the end of the day. I just have to get Altan’s and T51’s writing and code it, but that’s reasonable to have done this week. If we can get into testing by the end of December, I’d be shooting for a release about the 10th.

I haven’t updated the polls for 6m9. Mostly because December is a holiday-shortened month and even getting what needs to go in is a stretch as it is. So there won’t be a patron-chosen scene in 6m9, but there is something I need your feedback on. I’ll be introducing a new fighting woman into the Harem in the next 2-3 releases and I can’t decide between two different looks for her. So I’m doing a flash poll. There’s an image and poll link up on the poll post, choose what look you want for her! Poll will only run until the end of the December.
https://www.patreon.com/posts/16066484 ($2+ pledge to access polls)

And of course some teasers from the 6m8 content!

[ker]

Happy New Years!

First and foremost, I hope you all had a great new year’s celebration and wish you all the best in 2018! Hopefully your resolutions last all the way into February!

Harem c6m9’s beta test began today! What’s it 6m9 for sure is the next step in the Elan section. Claudia is worth a spot in your harem, but there’s an entire province for you to search. Time to broaden your horizons while you work on Claudia. Speaking of broadening horizons, it’s time to make your haremettes more… versatile. The courtesan trainings in the King’s Pleasure are starting up. t51 had to be called down to Mexico and Altan moved, so I’ve also added a new questline in Corsix. But Mercalius is a busy man, you may have to meet him offsite…

On to other matters. First, we’ll be finishing up Elan in the next 3ish releases. Do you all want to spend a month or three revisiting our old friends Celee before going onto Greca. Alice, Baylie, and Julianne were just teases during chapter 3&4, maybe we get a shot at a few of them, as well as taking care of a few unresolved storylines. Or do you want to move onto Greca and resume the chase for Melony, Betsy, Isabella and Eleanor? Either way, we’ll be going to both places before the game is over!

Finally, I’m considering putting in a chapter break somewhere in the Denai/Elan/Corsix content. I really should have done so earlier, we’re getting up to a silly number of minors in chapter 6. So I’d like either call chapter 6 ended with Cecilia’s breaking (hopefully 6m9) or retcon back to when a new province opened up. Let me know if you have any thoughts either way.

And of course, temptations for the free players. Patreon bills monthly, which means the beginning of the month is the best time to pledge. You not only get access to 6m9 when it comes out, you also get the immediate satisfaction of downloading 6m8 immediately! Maybe even treat yourself to a $25 pledge and get dozens on Legate only scenes!

Ok I truthfully feel like I missed something with Fenja. I followed the walkthrough and talked to every slave as often as possible in the castra and did everything I possibly could before I went to Corsix, but I didn't get Fenja's trial quest or after trial quest

It's before you go to Corsix, you need to find out about her brother and then go back into the tunnels to find what happened to him, then Fenja's stuff will be available.

And Harem c7m3 is ready for release! 7m3 you ask? Harem has always done its chapters geographically, and Elan is big enough to be its own chapter. So Harem c6m6 becomes Harem c7m0 retroactively, making what would have been 6m9 into c7m3. And no, I’m not going to go back and actually change the old version!

Enough bookkeeping, let’s talk about content! Cecilia has proven to be much more complicated and a huge writers block for me, but I was able to get through the first half of it. Even that swelled to over 40 pages and over 50 images of content. She’ll be finished in 7m4! I’ve also been teasing that you’ll be able to train your women in The King’s Pleasure and the first two trainings are now available. And the location poll is making it clear that you all want to return to Celee so I’m starting the questline to get you there. Talk to Praetor Mercalius in Corsix to get that started.

Finally, this release is a bit shorter than I was wanting it to be. My own time was reduced because of the holidays and none of my part time writers found the time to write at all. We’ve had some frank discussions about expectations and requirements, hopefully this situation doesn’t repeat. But enough with the talking, its time for the link!

Harem c7m3
-Change to numbering, Chapter 7 begun when the player entered Elan. So c6m6 was the first release of Chapter 7
-Cecilia is a Shada, resistant to your power. The Mask of Senesca will finally shatter that resistance!
-Claudia and Caliga seem to be vying for your attentions. That could be useful, as are the people of Elan. Time to get to work.
-To get back into Celee, you'll need permission from the Praetor of Corsix, and you haven't taken everything from that area yet.
-Your women may be great in bed, but there's always room for improvement. Time to start training them in The King's Pleasure.
-5 new scenes added, 2 more coming for Legates+.
-123 new images added (more to come in Legate+ version)
-120 pages of new content added! (more to come in Legate+ version)

CG packs and polls will be updated in the next few days, probably with the Legate+ release

And with c7m3 out for my patrons, the public gets “what’s now being called” c7m2. 7m2 advanced both the Elan and Tenta’s storyline, with you learning more about the complex relationship between Caliga and Claudia as well as spending some quality time with Rhea or Alena and getting some good pillow talk afterwards. Hiro was able let the player capture Rhea on the light path if you missed her before and brought her up to speed, as well as moved Laura along a step. And Donnie/Tomas finally get a bit of action… but only if you allow it!

I'm thinking I may start completely over again, just so I can get fenja's quest line as well

I'm thinking I may start completely over again, just so I can get fenja's quest line as well

If I had not spent so much time grinding levels I might have done that too, but fortunately I had a save back to that time, and I had to just redo about an hours worth of play time.

Since then though with the insane spawn rate of those soldiers after the train station blew up, I think I ran through all my save games trying to play catch up so they were not bitch slapping me so hard out in the field.

Make sure you have Terra in your party for the ghosts, damn ghosts......
