New Patreon for the Remaster, my old patreon will not be providing anything. If you wish to pledge, only do so at the new patreon!

I had been talking before joining Fylokon Games this year and we’ve been working for the last two months to familiarize ourselves with RPG Maker MZ and KoiKatsu Sunshine, the two programs we’ll be using to create Harem Remastered. We’re comfortable enough with the programs now to release a Proof of Concept (PoC) to show you how we will be improving the admittedly outdated tech used in Harem v2 and create something a tier better than before. Normally Cyice will be handling releases through our Patreon, but for now I’ll post the links here.

We’re also doing Mac and Android releases, but they are not supported

Something something JoiPlay for Android, not a clue about Mac. But the buttons were there so we pushed’em!
A few things I think need to be mentioned about the new project:
First, this is far more of a team project than before. For v2, while I certainly had people helping me create the game, every buck stopped with me. Writing, imaging, coding, testing, social media, business, etc. I think just the complexity of that factored into my depression and burnout, being able to just focus on some writing and imaging while relying on others to handle the rest has already made this far less stressful for me.
This project will be funded through Patreon like the last attempt but there’s a few differences I think are important. We’re going to be moving to a pay-on-release instead monthly subscription model. You’ll only be charged when new content is available so hopefully that makes people confident in subscribing. We do intend to release monthly and might switch to that later *if* the community consents.
So what is a release? Currently our minimum standard for a release will be 100 pages of rewritten/new content and the images to support those documents, 1-2 new scenes or significant events, and all commissioned work completed. Those numbers may go up over time but should never be below that. Most of the 1m1 content is already completed and it’s coming in about 120 pages of old and new content, every word of which has been rewritten to keep the content while increasing the breadth and depth of the world.
Current schedule goals: The PoC is 100% done and is available on the Fylokon Games patreon right now. 1m1 should be ready by April 1st and will complete chapter 1 (we might release on the 2nd just to avoid April Fools). Chapter 2 will likely take 3 releases to cover, 2m0 will cover Cindy and Sarah’s capture, world building, maybe a sidequest. 2m1 will cover Terra’s capture and gets into the questing more thoroughly. 2m2 will be focused on base scenes and completing chapter 2.
Download doesn't work for me for some reason.:\
ReplyDeleteIt's getting hit pretty hard and a few people have told them it took a few tries to get a connection.
DeleteAh. That explains it.
DeleteI'm assuming the girl on the left on the title screen is Samantha? Something about her eyes just doesn't feel right.:\
ReplyDeleteJust noticed something. During the descriptions by the angel, she doesn't mention anything about anal attempts, which if I recall decreases their mental defenses or something. Not sure if you'll fix that or not, but thought I'd point it out.
ReplyDeleteI notice that one of the game's earliest plot holes--knowing Donna's name without ever being told--is still present. :) Other than that? This looks really, really good. The character models work, and the writing is strong.
ReplyDeleteQoL-wise, I wish there was a way to have all the text in a window show up at once, and with how slow the walking speed is, "Dash" should probably be on by default. All told, though, this is a promising re-restart.
Pretty damn good so far! Looking forward to the release of Chapter One!
ReplyDelete...I have no idea why I capriciously decided to check this blog for the first time in a year or so, but I was legitimately shocked to see this!
ReplyDeletePledging, and hoping to catch up on what happened to you when I get the chance. But I hope you're doing better (I've at least gotten as far as ADHD, depression, and anxiety, and I unfortunately not only sympathize but empathize), and I'm glad to, for the second time, have the chance to try to support this project.
Hope I still have fun, but more importantly, hope you do too.
As a possibility for Mercalius... maybe after taking his position, maybe using the bracers on him to change his gender, thus keeping him with Olivia in that way while both are gained would be a route that could be taken. Just an idea.
ReplyDeleteLong time no see~ Glad to see you survived
ReplyDeleteI want to suggest making it so that the werewolf quest cannot be triggered until you do the other quests that Mercalius gives you.
ReplyDeleteHope things are going well with the next version. Best of luck, you guys.
ReplyDeleteI think Terra's model could use a little makeup.
