August Development poll up

I've been collecting feedback on what August's update should be, either enter into the main story (on-rails extended section) for chapter 5 or continue to explore new content and characters in a 4m3 release.  Thank you to everyone who provided me feedback!

The poll is up on Patreon now.  You would have to be a $2+ patron to be able to see it and vote!

So I've been thinking

 When I went onto Patreon and switched to monthly releases, I decided to switch between major releases (main storyline progression) and minor releases (side quests and non-plot slaves). This was mostly done as I knew I couldn’t do a major every month and the minors gave me a chance to keep new content coming while simultaneously giving me the time to rewrite/code the old content.

Generally, we’ve been doing a major followed by two minors over time.  Initially, this was done to buy me time more than anything else.  As I’ve been developing the minor quests, something interesting happened.  I found that I really enjoyed adding some breadth to the world.  Exploring new territories, learning about the history of the world and getting to know the existing cast better.  And of course, finding and enslaving new women.

As we go into Chapter 5 we’re going to be hitting an on-rails section.  Some fairly big things will be happening with the plot and to make sure that flows properly and makes sense, I have to control the pacing.  Once we hit that, we’re probably going to be looking at roughly 4 months of on-rails as we go through two months of Corsix and then 2 months dealing with the aftermath of what happens there.  While there will be some new content there (Kathleen/Fiona mostly) most of it will be retreads of v1 content.  And you won’t get back to Celee for months.

So the question is:  Where to go next?  I want to know what you all think.  Would you enjoy starting the on-rails section, knowing that it’s going to last a few months, or should there be a 4m3 and explore some of the new content more?  I definitely have more stories to tell about Fiona, Naitay, and Joan that really won’t get told for quite a while without a 4m3.

I want your feedback.  Where you want to see Harem go?  Your feedback will decide this.  But just to be upfront, unless feedback is definitely in one direction or another, it will be decided by a Patreon-only poll.

v2c4m2 Change Log

v2c4m2 is firming up, with the vast majority written and mostly coded/imaged.  Not enough to pin down a release date beyond July but enough to tell you all what's coming!
v2c4m2
Content Additions
-There is yet another barrier blocking your path to remove it. You'll have to find a way to strengthen Terra to get past it.
-In doing so, you will capture another slave, one with a mysterious past that she has had taken from her. Unlocking it will grant her great power, but at great risk.
-A new questline from the Celeean Swords and a new slave to add to your harem.
-Fiona will have another quest for you, and her arrogance and greed could make her vulnerable to ones whose pockets are deep enough.
-The repairs on your brothel have finally been completed, letting you open it for business. Some slaves may require 'convincing' in order to serve there.
-Scenes for Phoebe/Noemi, Terra, Kathleen, Fiona and Cindy, plus a handful of brothel scenes.

I have a bunch of teasers ready.  There's the Fiona one above and the rest as attachments.  Uncensored versions on the blog/forums.

Brothel Poll phase 2!

Alright, the code is all in place for the brothel and I like it's implementation far better than in version 1.  Should be a bit more interactive and obvious without the level demands of before.  Your whores will get a customer wave every 5 battles.  There will be another handful of scenes for it.  You'll have to convince Samantha/Noemi if you want them to whore (3 scenes total) and there will be a handful of small whoring scenes in 4m2.  Noemi, Phoebe and Naitay will all get one.  Samantha and Terra most likely will.  I might add in a few more.  They'll be 2-3 pages scenes instead of the 6-10 page length of most full scenes, 2-3 images instead of 7-12.

But it needs a name!
What I've done is create an option to select between two different names.  I'm going to use the suggestions from Patrons but have two different polls, one Patron one public and those will be the two options for your brothel's name.

New patreon option!

It looks like I was one of the creators chosen to beta the new option to charge when someone pledges, rather than waiting for the 1st of the month.  The huge benefit to that is near instant gratification.  As soon as your payment gets processed you'll get access to the tier rewards instead of having to wait.  Hopefully this will also eliminate the 'I pledged, where's my rewards' messages as well!
4m2 is coming along very well.  I have the main arc 95% written, 100% coded and imaged.  Once the proofs on the writing get down I can get that finalized.  Will have a lot of other things to do as well.  An old placeholder character's getting a full backstory and questline this time around, Fiona will be capturable (although it will not be cheap) as well as the Brothel opening up with some limited content for it.  Hiro's sidequest is also sounding very cool.

Although yesterday was one of those days that seemed like every time I got to work something came up to distract me.  Ralph understands....




(I'll put a non-censored version up on my blog.  I haven't been able to make sense of Patreon's nudity policy and would rather not cross it)

4m1 Patreon release!

Testing is finished on v2c4m1 and I'm glad to send it out to my Patrons!  Their support is why we're on a monthly release cycle instead of biannual so a huge thanks to them!  Public release for 4m1 will be on the 24th.
