We should be within a few days of release. I'm sorry for how long it's been since I've had a real content patch, but if you can just wait a few more days, I think that you'll find that there's a huge amount of new content coming in.
0.5 will bring
-Scene count up to 148. This more than doubles the number of scenes in the game.
-Corsix (Proper or Ratan) major zone added with unique quests for every character.
-A dramatic upgrade in many of the systems underlying the game. Grammar should be far better, combat should be less awful (notice I didn't say good), and music should be better (I usually play RPG maker games muted and had simply forgotten about it).
-A epic sidequest that winds through the 0.4.2 and before content.
-Introductions to 7 new characters, one capturable.
-Two existing characters will finally join the fold.
A repeat of an old message. Your old saves will not work in 0.5. Regrettable but necessary. Initially chapter skip will be disabled while you all find the bugs that we missed. I will try to have a 0.5.1 release within 2-3 weeks of the 0.5 release that will enable chapter skip again. But I think the amount of new content in old zones should justify the replay.
I will be switching to filefactory for the hosting. Harem is free and I have no plans to charge for it in the future, but if I can make a few dollars and not inconvenience anyone, well I don't see any reason not to do it. If it's a big issue for people I'll release side by side with mediafire, but I'd prefer that you use the filefactory link.
Here is the 0.4.2 link if you want to make sure that it works for you.

Also if anyone knows of a blogging site that would let me have advertisements and income generated by the blog, please let me know. Assuming that it's not a pain in the ass of course (no pop-ups or aggressive banner ads. Evidently you all enjoy this game enough to check this blog on average 150 times a day.
I am very excited! Haven't been this excited for a game since I was a kid XD. And this is a much better game, because it comes with..."goodies"...
ReplyDeleteI find I have to agree with King Owen. I am finding myself quite excited for the new release, which is quite frankly surprising me. I never thought I would be this excited for a game like this, but damn. You and your team are fucking awesome!
ReplyDeleteFenoxo used to ask for donations when he was on blogspot although he has moved to a new website now but anonymousmangames.blogspot.co.uk is still going and has a donations facility.
ReplyDeleteOne slight difference though is they both have done or still do live streaming coding whilst talking with their fans.
NB. That's not meant in any way to be disrespectful Ker even though its going to be about 5 hours to download 0.5 as I refuse to pay for file sharing access. Over 10 minutes its only downloaded 8.8meg/270meg mediafire is much better.
My only problem with file factory is they have only a limited number of free download ports. if those ports are being used you can't download. where as media fire doesn't. Outside of that I'm loving the game.
