Thanks

I do want to take a moment to thank all the people that have helped me make Harem.  The game in overall would not be anywhere near as good as it is.  Raziel321 was instrumental in getting the CG mode coded and working.  Noctun and glorer have been great for maps and effects.  Ninjician and NookieNookie have been helping out with sprites.  And I have more debuggers and testers than I could mention.  One of the things that will be added to 0.5 is a credits option from the main menu that will say everyone that's helped out.

One new member has been extremely helpful.  Korrupt has volunteered to look through pretty much every textbox in the game and correct many horrible spelling and grammar mistakes.  While English is my first (and only) language, when you write as much as I do everything starts to blur together and many errors slip through.  Add to that is the fact I'd enjoy creating content more than proofreading gets me many comments in the threads that start with 'I know English isn't your first language...'.  While they cause me to laugh each time, hopefully with his help those should be reduced.

My own work on content creation continues.  I'm still working through 0.5.  Just about finished with the quest to enter Corsix itself (if you played through 0.4.2 you'd notice that the end sequence changed) and about half-way through the quests inside of it.  On the low side it should be another 2-3 hours of content with another 20 scenes added.  Possible double the number of scenes if I can think of what to do with a few of the other slaves.  0.5 definitely will not be out this year, hopefully early 2012 for it.  Assuming of course the world doesn't end first.

I've highlighted a few other the other fan made H games I enjoy.  If you'd like yours listed, send me a mail in either the hongfire or futunari forums.

Motivation!

So the cycle is back on.  Haven't had much desire to do much with Harem for the last few weeks, so took a bit of time off.  Played some Skyrim and some of the other great fan-made Hentai games out there.  Also started another project, but it's not anywhere close to ready for a proof of concept.

As I was pushing 0.4.2 out I wrote another scene for 0.5 and found myself enjoying it again, and have been putting in an hour or two every day writing new content.  Still quite a while from even debugging, but progress has resumed enough for me to throw out a few more teasers!


Some old friends and some new ones!

0.4.2 rereleased

0.4.2 released. (again. Thanks to Raziel321 for fixing the bug)

Additions:
CG mode accessible from the main menu (Thanks to Raziel321 and plby2005 over at Hongfire)
One additional scene for Noemi

The CG mode automatically will scan your saves and add in the scenes you've already seen. It will not add in scenes that happened by default when using the chapter select.

I generally won't be answering questions of how to activate individual scenes, I'd rather have the members here help each other find them. I'm doing this both to help me gain some feedback and encourage players to explore a bit more.

Minor scenes (Brothel and tentacle scenes) are not part of the CG mode. Let me know if that's problem and I can do the (considerable) work of adding them into the mode.

And again many thanks to Raziel321 and plby2005 who created the script.
