Updated version Harem v2c2.2 released

Mostly just fixing a few bugs

-Removed Cindy from base. She wasn't ever going to have content after capture but I had put her there as a trophy but it wasn't a good idea.  She might get promoted back into the game later but don't count on it.

-To fix characters use the 'Check Id Ring' skill under the main character
-Gave Terra the ability to cast spells.
-Removed the magic option from character who couldn't use magic.
-Reorder character reset and join events for item consistency.  There may be excess items when upgrading from an old version.  Sell em or keep em, doesn't matter.
-Fixed various items that were usable when they should not be



The Id Ring functionality will be changing going forward.  It will no longer be an equip-able item, rather something inherent to the main character and usable as a skill rather than an item.  Makes it much simpler from a coding perspective.  The skill will function as a quest guide (assuming I haven't forgotten to update it) and an option to reset your characters.  This won't change their level at all, it resets them to the updated code for them and then relevels them to their old level.  Lets me correct/rebalance the game but not try to force it down the players throats.

    2. It's great to see you're back again, and great to hear you're remaking your game.

      I do wish you'd give it a new name though. "Harem" is awfully generic.

      You have a perfectly serviceable magic ring you could name it after.

    3. I've been told that Harem is a classic of the genre which means I can't change the name anymore. Something about historic sites and laws.

  2. Hey can I ask what program you use for the pictures in game? I have been searching for this program for quite a while and haven't found much about it. Great game by the way. I found it on Kimochi and have to say I hope this succeeds.

    Keep up the good work :)

  3. This update only added chapter 2 right? The changelog is saying that you can also do chapter 3 now.

  4. Just finished your game both good and bad options quite enjoyed it and am planning to keep running a good save and a bad save for all scenes as it continues... also for some reason i only got 5 scenes for Donna of her 6 in the replay mode i'm missing her very last one and i can only assume it's from saying that you will keep the necklace instead of giving it to Donna but it didn't give a scene there it just continued in the cave exploration under that condition.

    1. One light scene, one dark scene for the amulet.

  6. Thank you for the game and efforts... The Id ring still equipable and the main character doesn't have a skill with the id at all so I can't use it .. I tried creating new game just in case it was old save issue but still same thing.

    Game Ver is Harem_v2c2.1

    Also the Dark path as you first mentioned is tonned down in aspects of being evil or doing extreme things but I was wondering what was the reason for such change if I may ask?

    1. I had made a mistake and linked v2c2.1 earlier. That's should be corrected and any current download should get you the v2c2.2

      The dark route is getting toned down because I wasn't satisfied with it. The idea had always been callousness, a focus on the goal with a complete disregard for the people affected by it but had increasingly warped into simple misogyny which is not what I want to create.

    3. I tried the New Ver and you are correct it does have the id skill part however the ring for some reason can still be equipped , when I clicked optimize even Donna equpid it lol

    4. Just an oddity of the code. For some reason I can't remove it via event. It won't have any affect on the character and new games won't even receive it. If you're using an older save it can be sold for a few gold.

  7. This might already be on your radar, but Samantha's Inspire Strength takes a pretty long time to cast. Since it has to apply two buffs to all 4 party members, and buffs have a pause that can't be rushed through like normal combat actions, it can work out to be longer than most whole rounds.

    Shortening the buff pause or otherwise speeding up her skill might be good for the flow of combat.

    1. That will be fixed in chapter 3. For some reason it was actually casting the buff 5 times :)

      Her combat will feel significantly different going forward. I'd rather the player getting the sense of weaving her buffs/debuffs rather then waiting to drop a big inspirational bomb.

  8. After going into the item shop in Eleen for the first time, I noticed I had Sarah in my party even though I hadn't met her yet. I'm not sure how it happened, and I can't seem repeat it. I think it happened somewhere between leaving the camp and looking at the items in the shop.
