So two big things today: First, the work on 4m3 went extremely well and is ready for release, mostly due to Omnibomb, ofersai and Ichi going above and beyond in testing and helping me clear out the bugs in remarkable time. A huge thanks to all of them! If you want to play it now, my patreon does accept both instant donations and paypal. You can both support development as well as enjoy the great new content ASAP!

Second, Harem got a bit of publicity by getting previewed over at lewdgamer.com A huge thanks to them for their time. Make sure to swing over there, check out some of their other content and maybe even leave some nice comments on the preview!

Finally, there's a few additions to the 4m3 content. I did a lot of work on the quest guide in the game (accessed by the quest log item). Ideally, it should tell you all the quests you are currently on and tell you where you can find more. It's still a wip, please let me know if (when) it's wrong. I've also added a bit more background detail into the Mountain Glory area, letting it evolve as you go through the area. Finally, there's a few teasers for a new character. But that's all I'm going to say on that!
Changelog:
v2c4m3
Content Additions
-The end of Kathleen's sequence may have resolved her past, but it was a bit of a cliff-hanger for the rest of Celee. You'll have to work with the Celeean Swords to address this new threat and change your relationship with them fundamentally in the process.
-You control both of the human groups in the Westlands, but the peace between them is shaky at best. You'll need to unify your followers before going further into this new land.
-With a member of the Celeean Swords now part of your Harem, Heather will have additional quests for you.
-Terra, Sarah and Donna all have quests to explore their characters and get sweet unique gear for them as well!
-Added a new shop in Eowen next to Fiona's, Amazing Mechanics, selling off-hand items for those who can't use a shield or dual-wield.
-New Brothel scenes for Donna, Samantha (dark route only), Sarah, Heather and Kathleen
-8 new in game scenes, 5 brothel scenes and two bonus scenes added!
-167 new images, 210 pages of new text!
-Teased a new character!
Bug Fixes/Modifications
-Significant buff to Noemi, giving her new skills and reducing the cost of existing ones.
-Kathleen's Frozen Collar was supposed to be removed at the end of her questline and the stat buffs it gave her transferred to her directly. There was a few scenarios in 4m2 that wouldn't remove the collar, those have now been resolved retroactively.
-Increased the damage scaling of Terra's spells.
-Improved quest guidance through quest log item, still in beta state.
-Put conditionals into Naitay and Phoebe's brothel stories to adapt to plot/personal progression.
-Cleaned up Eowen as you progress the story to reflect the town rebuilding over time.
Pro Tip: A party of Noemi, Naitay, Kathleen, and a Healer works very well. Have Noemi use Cloak of Shadows on the Healer and then have Naitay use Tiger Stance; a lot of enemies will kill themselves attacking Naitay and Kathleen can tank the rest. Fan of Knives, Deep Freeze, and Whirling Spear or Leaping Fury wreak havoc on large groups. Powerful and efficient!
ReplyDeleteThe walkthrough says to re-enter Elizar's tomb to gain Kathleen's last skill but when I attempt to do so, she says 'There is nothing worth disturbing the tomb of Archmage Elizar'
ReplyDeleteI think that's a visual bug. You'll complete all of her quests, ending with her learning Frozen Fury and seeing a flashback scene but her default text still refers to her needing her memories.
DeleteThat's fixed in 4m3 but if she's learned Frozen Fury then you've completed all of her 4m2 quests.
Bug: Terra's brothe scene does not play
ReplyDeleteIn the brothel or in scene replay?
DeleteIn the brothel
DeleteHmm. I'll take a look at that and see if I can fix it for 4m4.
DeleteOk, found the bug. That will be fixed in 4m4. As will the replay of it.
Deletei carried my save over from 4m2 and samantha does not appear in the brothel and her dialog doesn't have the choice to deal with the brothel. is this a bug?
ReplyDeleteShe has no light route brothel content and thus gets removed. If it's a dark route game please send me the save so I can try to figure out what happened (haremrpg@gmail.com)
Deletei'm at 0 right now. i'll make it dark and see.
Deletealso, since the corpses of the orcs are unpathable it's possible to block your self. i don't know if you have a mechanic in place to prevent this though.
DeleteJust to clarify we're talking about 4m3 content right now. If you're playing 4m2 Samantha has no brothel content.
DeleteFrom the readme 'The game might get buggy if you intentionally keep your ethos around 0: Any preference on path should be sufficient for the game to work perfectly, but if you're intentionally balancing your choices, it's not a supported path and things may get strange.' You're of course free to do so, but things might break if you do! But send me the save if it doesn't work, I will try to fix this.
What area are you finding that the orcs are blocking you out?
the orcs are in the west 2 outlying westlands caves during the ambushes.
Deletegot to -1 and it still the same so i assume whatever got set only happens once.
DeleteHmm. None of the saves in my repos are well aligned to test this. Can you send me the save?

Deletei just had Kathleen go berserk even though i've finished her questline; is this intended?
DeleteYep. She's very powerful, but there's always a risk when you let her fight.
Deletehey i have an idea. i notice your adding members for certain missions (witch makes sense) but why not make something better with that. meaning how about a command upgrade sort of thing .note im thinking u can have a max of 6 memebers but if there a mission that requires certain people they cant lvl the party in the mission area. u could do it via story but how about u get non equipment that does that given when u do extra quests from the 2 goveners or something. and it whouldnt require to much code stuff for at one point in the game u do have 6 party memebers. heres the non stuff i think u could use (note these are just ideas of something the player can hold in there innovatory that enables it) seal of command (just a name u can go nutz with that), amulet of battle (i fig it can be like a mega phone thing that allows the user relay commonds better by making there voice louder or more clearer? go with what u like or just make something up), crest of leadership (i think this would be something cool given to u when u help Angelica's dad with a major problem that arisen, i thinking a group trying to distroy the town using explosives or some sort of spell), and i can come up with other names for things. note im only SUGGESTING this for the fights with 4-5 enemys are sort of like mini boss battles with just 4 members.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably do something like that in the future.
Deletecool. btw forgot to say your game kicks ass and i like how your reusing the old content but at the same time adding new things.
Deletealso i think i found a bug in the ice lass in the undead cave (not sure but its that one but i do know it involves her) a water fall with lots of greenery i went thought the wall and was able to move about (btw i like where see went and the dangers of her). i was able to move back on the area by going back though the was the way i got "in". it is on the left side on that small room
DeleteI'll get that fixed for 4m4.

ReplyDeleteI can't acess the brothel story line of Terra, i've already done everything that can be done in the map, i harvesting on the forests of the Western lands and the sbterrain of Castra, but every time i go to the brothel i can't trigger the event, i don't really know what can be done and i can't progress in the game, i don't know how to get acess to Kathleen too, help please!!! (P.S I'm using an uptadated game of the version 4.02m i really don't know if that has something in my problem, but i'm saying it anyway)
