CG mode!

Well I missed the weekly updates, but I do have a bit of progress to report.  With the help of raziel321 and plby2005 over at hongfire, we're about 90% of the way to having a true CG mode for the game.  Something that was completely beyond my ability to do, but their help will definitely make Harem a better game.  Also when the script is up and working, I intended to let some of my fellow devs use it as well.  But got to get it working fulling before then.


When it's ready, I'll release 0.4.2 which will include that and maybe 2-4 more scenes.  I already have two written for Noemi that takes place before 0.5 and I plan on adding additional content to 0.1-0.4 content before releasing 0.5.  How much of that is included in 0.4.2 is kind of random and most of the remaining work on it is out of my hands (raz has to finish a bit of coding and then I need to give it to my testers to make sure it works out in the world) and I'll continue writing while that's going on.  Nothing that I'm adding will hold up release though, so when the CG mode is done and tested, I'll release.

A few teaser images, the first 3 of the CG mode and then one of the new Noemi scene.  She's been fun to write for, an interesting idea of 'Getting her to submit to you for the good of her people' vs 'Just fuck the resistance out of her'.  And some brief info for the CG mode - it will be a replay system, so if you haven't seen the scene, it will be greyed out.  But it'll work globally so it'll work across saves.

I'm also going to add some other games I like into a side panel, but probably not today. 

Next update will be some time in the future!

So an update to what I've been doing since I released 0.4.

0.5 basic maps are done
0.5 common event structure is done
0.5 local event/image structure maybe 15% done

Usually when I get ready to release a new version, there's a big push beforehand to get everything finished and debugged before release, leaving me burnt out after release and debugged release and I end up taking a few weeks away to recoup before getting back into the coding.  When I put out 0.4 the burnt out part was delayed for a bit letting me get a good start on 0.5.  The burnout is back, but that's completely normal.

Switched to doing some project management work in the meantime until my urge to write comes back.  A few people at Hongfire offered me their assistance in a few things that I'm not particularly good at.

Plby2005 and raziel321 have both been developing scripts for the game.  One of them I need for 0.5 to work and another will be a CG mode letting you replay any scene you've seen before.  Very excited for both of them, and they're nearly finished with them. 

Ninjican has been working on sprites for the game.  Another thing I'm bad at so the sprites are getting far better due to his help.

When the CG mode is up and running (And I load it with the proper events) I will be releasing 0.4.2.  There won't be any new content except for the CG mode.

I don't have any kind of firm date for 0.5 yet, but unless things go dramatically badly it should be out before the new year. 

I intend to update this blog weekly, but no promises on that :)

Beginning this blog!

So I've decided to make a blog about my game.  This is most definitely an adult game, and explores darker sides of sexuality and morals, and will get pretty questionable in it's views of politics and religion as the game goes on.  Probably shouldn't be played by anyone, but people seem to like it and I'm enjoying writing it, so on development goes!

A brief description
Your home nation has suffered a horrible curse where all the women became barren. Sent out to capture women to bring back to your land, you are knocked off course. Stumble into a ancient artifact, much hilarity ensues. And a lot of sex of course. Rape, seduction, bondage, even some erotic asphyxiation, RoV, and GoR

The game is definitely still a work in progress. Have the first four zones completed, and 10 women for you to meet. 71 scenes between them. Should be about 4-6 hours of gameplay, with two paths for a replay.

Primary development takes place through a SVN I run using a few of the better hentai forums for feedback (Hongfire and Futunari).  I'd prefer that you give any detailed feedback on one of those forums as the comment system here doesn't lean itself well to those kind of interactions.

I will be adding a donate link to this blog soon.  No pressure on it, I will continue to develop Harem regardless and the game will always be free. 

I'm going to come back later and add pictures and stuff.
