 I do have a Patreon page up and running.  If you enjoyed the new content and wish to support further development, any donation will help out a great deal!

Content additions:
1 new slave and 1 future conquest introduced
3 new sidequest lines to show you more of the history of the world and characters, as well as gold and phat lootz! And the sex. Of course there’s sex at the end of 2 of them (Fenja and Phoebe).
More Cecilia Interactions
Huge script addition to the game which should give it a very different look and feel.
In theory, old saves should be fully compatible.
6 new scenes in game
80 images
123 pages of text
Scene control changed : Ctrl is now fast forward, alt is text hide.

OLD SAVES MUST BE UPDATED TO THE NEW SCRIPT ENGINE: This will happen automatically the first time you step into the world map and it can be done manually by using the main characters id ring skill and choosing character reset.  The game will crash if you try to look at the TP mode before this happens.  It is not a bug, please do not report it as such.

Even if you don't feel like or can't donate via Patreon, your feedback is still critical to the development of Harem.  Let me know what you thought.  What you liked and what you didn't like.  What you'd like more of, what I should focus more on and even what you thought I spent too much time on.  The quality control I get from negative feedback is critical and the morale boost I get from positive feedback moreso.

Onto 3m2!
We're almost content locked on 3m2 and going through the final testing of it.  I'm expecting to release it in early April to Patrons.  Play around with 3m1 for the weekend, if you like it, want to support further development and get 3m2 as soon as it's ready, I would love the support.

I've also added 2 non-canon scenes for my higher tier supporters and I might have the time to squeeze in a third.  Teasers from them!

    1. There's a google drive link on the downloads page if the ff/rg don't work for you.

    2. I suggest taking a look at MEGA. It has a faster download time and it's free. It's used by other h-rpgmaker developers as well.

    1. While I was coding that I had decided that minor slaves wouldn't appear in base since they'll never get additional content, but enough people have mentioned this that I've decided to add sprites for them into the base. But they still aren't getting additional content.

      In 3m2 each major/resource slave will have a menu pop up when you talk to them asking what kind of interactions you're looking to do with them. Minor slaves are just one-offs so they will not have it.

  4. Just letting you know there is a bug where in the first part of the merchant archaeology quest when it asks if you would like to stay or leave in the last room if you choose stay and try to leave the room you will be forced to fight the animated armor a second time and it will then bring you back to the choice of whether to leave or stay.

    1. Oh and there's a few weapons/armors that I did not acquire despite the game saying that I acquired it. (f.ex Orc Chief's Axe)

    2. yeah same thing happened to me the 2nd fight just about killed me lol

      Delete
    3. That will be corrected in 3m2. As long as you've finished the Goblin/Orc quest and captured Fenja she'll 'discover' the items you should have gotten and give them to you.

  5. Welp assuming that my assumption that the merc keeps sending me to Lady Fiona who doesn't need my help means I ran out of content I've done everything on this release.

    Was fun slaughtered sub-humans, bandits, living armor, zombies, and doesn't afraid of anything. I'm at about 50K gold and I bought stuff from the merchants for no reason at all.

    I want Fiona bad. Albino's are awesome and haughty albino mages in a game where you make women your slaves are even better.

    I assume I lost all the old sex scenes from the script update? Mildly annoying, but expected from a game that's in pre-alpha.

    I also did not get the Orc Chief's ax. Didn't hit the animated armor thing I fully explored the place first.

    Too bad Terra couldn't figure out the armor spell that would be cool to have. Can mages work together on a spell like that in order to compensate for not being strong enough individually? Or like summon one spirit at a time into the armor instead of all at once?

    1. Gregory will stop talking about Fenja in 3m2 naturally. There just wasn't anything else for him to do and he wanted to talk!

      Fiona may tease you for quite a while. While she is getting new content in 3m2 it isn't a scene and you probably won't be able to capture her until 5m1 or so.

      I've never seen any issue with replays getting erased on my clients. Are you installing the game into a new folder with each version? If you are, copy the replay.rvdata2 file from the old version into the new version.

      Fixed in 3m2

      Hmm. Interesting idea. Hadn't thought about it. No reasons why mages couldn't work together although Terra certainly doesn't know how to enchant items. But maybe is she teamed up with someone of a different skillset....

    2. I'd like a scene where Fiona and Terra work together to enchant a certain item if you know what I mean. But really that would be pretty cool.

      And your fix worked, but now I have two different replay files with different scenes on them that I have no idea how to combine. Oh well live and learn.

  6. Why i didn't find any maid in the shaman hut? I could only enter the chief hut but i only found Angelica. And I didn't find also any new slave. How odd

    1. I think you're attacking the wrong orcs. Vercin tells you to go north from Eleen, not west.

    2. yeah, missed that side quest, thank you, for helping me and of course for this beautiful game. I think it's the best h-rpg game and I'm really happy to play this again.
      I have another question, what is in the cg after the non human scenes and before the other/patreon bonus scenes? I see a question mark so maybe it's something else that i have missed.

    3. It's group and there's no current content in it.

  7. I'm running into a bug where minimizing or Alt-Tabbing during any scenes is removing the text and the game won't progress. Didn't have this problem with the previous version, so I'm assuming it has something to do with the script update.

    1. Whoops, should have mentioned that in post. Ctrl and Alt have been switched by user request. Ctrl is Fast forward, alt is text hide. So when you alt-tabbed, it hid the text. Pressing alt again should have resolved that.

      Edited Post to say that.

  8. Well...I did the Fenja part, and she told me she would wait for me to clear out the camp. I did so. I was told she would wait for me at my fortress. She still hasn't shown up yet.

    I think I have completed everything so far. (I also plan on becoming a patron asap, I really like this one. Being on a limited income really sucks)

    1. Her story really ends at that point, but I'm putting a sprite for her into the base in 3m2. You haven't missed anything though, she'll just say hello.

      I hope that you will become a Patron in time, but if you can't do it immediately no problems! If you feel like supporting the game in another way, take the time to go to one of the forum threads in the right and make a post saying what you liked about the game, what you thought could be improved and what you'd like to see added!

      Seriously, it actually helps me a lot. Comments here communicate with me. Posts in forum threads get other people to try the game!

    2. I did back last night, but I think I may have missed the billing cycle. :(

      I haven't found anything so far that I felt I needed to give feedback on, other then the Fenja thing, which I missed the part about not having a sprite, so other then a few text errors which I try not to let get to the Grammar Nazi in me, I haven't found anything. I was thinking about what other types of girls that might be nice, a few more interactions in the fort, more quests, but I know things like that take time. I am too new around here to really start throwing ideas around just yet. Going to really start exploring the game and see if I come up with any ideas.

      Honestly I am looking forward to getting to Corsix and advancing the story. :D

  9. First of all, I have to say that I really really really love how you turn Phoebe into a quest-giver by making use of her most noticable trait. As a fan of her since the original iteration, thank you very much for giving her an important role.

    I decided to start the game from the beginning and found some of these tidbits that the others might have yet to report. Please just cross anything that has been submitted prior.
    1. This conversation occured after I acquired only Samantha; no Sarah yet, let alone Angelica and Terra -> http://puu.sh/o38rI/0961f82c86.jpg
    2. If I am not wrong, the dialogues following the Jungle Orc Chieftain's fight insinuated that the party acquired the Chieftain's Axe, but no such weapon was in my inventory.
    2.1 Still on Jungle Orc and Cave Goblins mission: I found an Elemental Robe in a cabinet before saving Fenja in the Necromancer's place, but my inventory showed nothing.
    3. Will Cindy and Fenja appear in the Fort?
    4. Upon entering Donathan's base on Black Bay, there was a collision-free wall just before the first room to the left that my characters could get over, making them able to walk through the ceiling. Sorry I cannot be more specific, I forgot to screen it.
    5. One of loots from Animated Armor in Donathan's Base is called Iron Plate, but the inventory lists them as "iron Armor".

    I have yet to try the next mission in Phoebe's artifact quest. I will get back to you again if I do manage to sniff out something else.

    1. Some revisions about what I said, there really are Iron Plates, though no units of mine seem to be able to use it.

      6. Finishing off the Orcs, mission obtained from the bearded NPC in Eoween's Pub. If I recall correctly, there was a dialogue following the chief's death about an axe - is it actually obtainable?

      I think that is all of what I caught from my playthrough so far. Most of points are from sidequests, so I believe you are already well-aware of them. I am really looking forward for the continuation, even moreso if it features Phoebe or Jessica more. Godspeed, Ker.
