So today is Harem Builder's first release. I want to start by saying that the game isn't perfect yet, there will be some spelling mistakes and bugs, but I tried to catch as many as I could. There shouldn't be any game breaking bugs, but I recommend doing multiple saves just to be safe.
If you see any bugs, you can report them in the comment section of this post or on Harem Builder's page.
I changed the way the games are displayed on the blog, there is now a "Games" section at the top of the blog where you can access either WhiteBlade or Harem Builder.
Addition rewards coming to patreon next month:
I will be adding a few rewards to my patreon. These rewards are related to the games I make and they are as follow:
10$:
1- Access to polls which will decide future content, it can be new characters, underwear choices, what I should be working on next, CG theme, it can be anything! There will be at least 1 poll per month.
20$:
1- Early access to new versions of the game a few months before they are available to the public. I'm planning to make new smaller version updates more frequently now that the base game is released. These new versions will most likely be released every 2-3 months depending on the kind of content I need to make.
30$:
1- Access to new uncensored CGs with all variations and possibly some additional variations that will not be used in the game. I'm planning to do at least 1 CG per month from now on as I will change up the way I work on the game now that the base game is done.
2- Access to a special save where everything is unlocked. There will be a save for both Harem Builder and WhiteBlade. This is for those who either don't want to work through the whole game themselves or don't have the time to do so.
I will start doing these rewards starting next month. If you want some of those, you'll have to subscribe before the end of june. I will most likely update my patreon this weekend to reflect these changes. I still am planning to make weekly blog updates to keep everyone aware of the content I'm making though :).
What's coming next:
Now that the base game is done, I'm planning to take a little break like I usually do when I do a big release like this. I will use a 2 week break to plan what I'll be adding next but what I have in mind is to start Ralkyx, the Cyber City and start adding quite a few characters that won't be fully romanceable yet. (Something along the lines of how Manami is in the base game right now.) The first character I'll start with is Elsword since he was voted by patrons a while ago x).
Finally here's what you guys probably want the most, the download link is on Harem Builder's page right here: Harem Builder
I hope you'll enjoy Harem builder and everything it has to offer, good luck starting your harem and have fun!
YASS KING, YASS :D
ReplyDeleteIt's done, I was so stressed out today while fixing things, I wasn't I would be able to do it in time but I did it! xD
DeleteGood boi, now have some rest :D, you deserve it!
DeleteI've been following your work for awhile now, but I decided to finally comment! The things you produce are quite amazing, and the pace you put out stuff is also quite admirable. Thank you for all your hard work, like putting out the initial release for this today!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you'll enjoy the game :).
DeleteGetting sword doesnt register
ReplyDeleteDid you go talk to the blacksmith (Shopkeeper) in Castle Town's market? If so, you just have to go back to Link after that.
DeleteI can see link in the top right corner, but can't figure how to get past the gate. My sword isn't completing the quest either. Also I'm not sure how to use the map XD
DeleteWaaaait, can you send me a picture lol. I'm not sure what you're talking about but it sounds like a bug lol. To use the map, you just have to go to a town's exit and click on the image of the town your want to go to. (Or in Link's quest case, the black and gold arrow showing a special quest location)
DeleteOh. I just didn't know how the map worked. I see the quest now. I don't think it was a bug. A Link sprite is just in the top right of the zone with the cows chickens and horses.
DeleteWell yeah, you're not supposed to see that sprite xD. I'll try to place it somewhere else so you can't see him.
DeleteDrinking at the milk bar currently does nothing, and neither do the festival and the beach I believe.
ReplyDeleteI had a strange bug but I haven't been able to replicate it- while doing Link's day activity, if you slay the monster just as you run out of time and get hit/change prompt, the prompt will get stuck on the screen. Not sure if it always happens, but it happened to me right at the last monster, before triggering one of the event where Midan fucks Link.
I think it might not do anything yet because you don't have anyone in your party. However, I did notice some bugs while testing it for you bug so I'll have some bugfixing to do for that x).
DeleteAs for the prompt, I added something to help with that in V1.01. The image should be removed once you go back to town but I'll make some improvment to that.
I've tried by myself, with only Link in the party, and with Link and Souma- after going to the milk bar and paying their relationship quest didn't progress. I didn't go to sleep to see if it changed the day after but I don't think it would.
DeleteThe prompt already disappears going back to town, however it sticks around during the activity until the next battle (whose initial prompt will be that button)
Another bug: sex contests don't actually reward any coin, just exp. Or at least, coins won't show up in the shop in the sex contest building, and trying to exchange them for credits says I have none.
Speaking of sex contests, the main character can't gain exp from it, although everybody else does
The background of the first screen of Castle Town, the one behind the bridge to the Castle, is just a bunch of static roofs. Is it intentional? Because it makes my head spin a little.
Not exactly a bug, but it's very easy to max out the relationship before triggering every event- I had to visit Souma twice more after reaching 1010 points before being able to finish his quest.
Ugh can't edit. Anyway didn't see you fixed the coin bug already. However, you can walk into the vending machine in the sex contest building. Dunno if you fixed that.
DeleteThank you very much for finding all these bugs! I'll fix them as fast as I can but some of them aren't actual bugs :).
DeleteI'll fiddle around some more with the dates to verify that they work correctly, I always have trouble with those events...
I guess that should be fine, it shouldn't happen often and so long as it doesn't stick around, it's a minor bug I don't really mind.
The main character should be getting exp too but he takes more exp to level than the others. I did this because he will always be in every contests while the guys can be switched so it makes it easier to level them.
The background for the castle is normal, it's a parallax background to make the castle appear above town (like in the picture) if not for this, the background would be pitch black lol.
For some people yeah, it's easier to max out the relationship bar, but for others, it might be a little more difficult (Hard to play a minigame because of lag or not too good at games or things like that_). I prefer it being a little too easy instead of too long and tedious.
Also not exactly a bug, but you should think about putting an explanation of how the sex dungeon and the love hotel work (it says nowhere you can only train 2 harem member every day, except by trying to train a third), and how the sex contest work (how many rounds it last, how judges preferences work, etc).
DeleteAlso if you rent the sex dungeon/love hotel, but then do nothing in the room with the room with your harem boy... you still pay the fee, but did nothing and wasted one of the training chances. Perhaps you should take away the option to do nothing?
I'll add some tips in the home's library to clarify that, thanks for bringing it up ;).
DeleteHow to meet Sora?
ReplyDeleteSora isn't implemented yet. :)
DeleteIt seems that I'm not getting any coins from the contest (not using a full party - Corrin hasn't joined me...yet). Also how many harem members are implemented at the moment?
ReplyDeleteDownload the new version of the game and transfer your save files to the new version to fix the coin bug, I just fixed that issue in version 1.02 ;)
DeleteAlso, there are 5 members you can recruit at the moment and 3 that are fully "romanceable".
I FINALLY FINISHED THE GAME AND I LOVE IT AAAAAAAAA
ReplyDeleteDid you get Tatsumi, Manami and the secret outfit for the MC? :P
Deletethe mc have a secret outfit? is the pilot suit?
DeleteNope, its a special suit you get by delivering enough semen bottles at the special buyer in Katakura Town :P.
Delete30 bottles to be exact.
DeleteOh and if you haven't done this already, you can buy special underwears for every harem members (excluding Manami at the moment) by beating the high score in the contest. There's a shop at the arena selling those.
DeleteI'm assuming we can't get Manami a chastity belt or anything that requires completing the romance.
ReplyDeleteSome possibly unintentional bugs I've encountered:
- Tatsumi's blowjob animation during contests instead show Souma's. Souma's blowjob animation during contests has no issue.
- When MC reaches level 11, his AP is reduced down to 10 from the 50 he had at level 10.
- Whenever someone reaches level 11+, energy jumps to 950 and get an extra 50 per level.
- When exchanging contest coins/points into credit, it's returning half the coins/points exchanged.
- I don't know what caused it, but one time I was talking to Tatsumi with a chastity belt on, but he kept replying with his normal talk responses instead of his pent-up state.
- Sometimes the sex dungeon and love hotel don't give the skill that we trained for. I tend to save before going in and then reload to that save and try again to get the skill on the second time.
Thanks for your feedback, here's some clarifications!
ReplyDelete- I'll fix that for the next version, thanks for telling me!
- This is a major one, no character should be able to go over lvl 10, this is really odd since I just looked in the actual game and it says the character's max level is 10.
- Same as the above.
- This is normal since 1 contest coin = 0.5 credit, I think I'll add a dialogue before the trade to specify that.
- I'll take a look at Tatsumi's dialogues, this shouldn't be hard to fix.
- This is normal, not all skills have a 100% percent chance of succeeding. If you pay attention, the dialogues are different when you fail. (Once learned, you can't get the failed dialogues though). If you fail, you can simply pay the fee to try again.
I think that's it, thanks for reporting the bugs, I'll make the required adjustments!
Thanks for the clarifications, kind of suspected we weren't meant to go over 10 b/c of the major changes in stats and the amount of points one gets in contests.
DeleteHowever, I guess I should clarify one of my points. I know that 2 contest coins should give 1 credit. But for some reason, for every 2 contest coins I spend, I'm getting 1 credit AND 1 contest coin back.
Oh, that's not how it should be then lol, I'll have to take a look at that, thanks telling me :).
DeleteHi~ Thank you very much for your work! I have some difficulty, though. My relationship points with Souma are like over 1300 but the quest remains unfinished...And every time I visit it is just another cooking task (that ends with a kiss lol). I wonder if I should keep visiting or is there something else to do?
ReplyDeletelikewise. I think I triggered the bug when I try to enter the back door in Souma's kitchen.
DeleteYeah the door bug is fixed in the new version of the game, but that door might have screwed your save if you entered it. If you did go into the door, you might have to revert to an older save before you did that.
Deletesame problem...
ReplyDeleteLook at my comment just above, did you through the backdoor at some point?
DeleteHello.I want to ask that i already finished souma,link and corrin misson.i want to ask that is their have other thing or person can play with.also i want to ask that how their skill is worked,is thier have a special fright or what.sorry for dont find it by myself because i need to do my job.you really do a great job and is admirable,keep frighting.love you forever
ReplyDeleteThank you ;). If you have the first 3 characters, you can now access the last two, their story cannot be completed yet, but you can still recruit them.
DeleteFirst one is Manami, you can find him in the park near Souma's restaurant.
Second one can be triggered by talking to Link again.
There is a special fight to use the skills, you have to go to the sex arena in Castle Town during the night. You can also learn new skills for that by going to the special dungeon in Castle Town or the love hotel in Katakura Town ;).
Thx(￣<3￣)<3 Thank you very much for all your work!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI have been playing your game and so far it is pretty great! I have been jotting down some notes/bug that I have noticed that I wanted to let you know. I am about 8 hours in and have finished Link’s, Souma’s, and Corrin’s romance quests. I have barely started the other two. Here are my thoughts/bugs I noticed:
1. When I first got to the map I was expecting to be able to select the location with the arrow keys, like it would highlight the location that you wanted to go to then you could press enter to select it. I spent about five minutes trying to figure out what to press than I decided to start the game over to see if I missed something. I finally realized I had to use the mouse. Mentioning that you have to use the mouse might be helpful.
2. To the right of the milk bar there is some tall grass right next to the ledge that allows you to walk into the cow pasture.
3. When you tell the bartender to “stop being superfluous and get to the point.” He then say, “I hear you.” Then, “you must interested in that kind of business then...” The Y is not capitalized and “be” is missing between must and interested.
4. The sign in the farm area shows an icon above it but you cannot read it/there is not message.
5. The guy who gives you the quest about Link says nothing afterward until you are looking for the two guys with Tatsumi.
6. You can walk on the soda machine in the contest lobby.
7. At the castle town entrance when you walk toward the right exit there is a weird shadow that covers the road. I’m not really sure why it is like that. It looks weird.
8. The blacksmith had an icon above his head, but didn’t say anything. Not the shopkeeper, but the actual blacksmith.
9. In the contest lobby at night, Yuuto doesn’t say anything to you except when you ask him about the two guys in Night Raid.
10. In the Love hotel when I selected I wanted to do it with “None” the game froze and I couldn’t do anything.
11. It also froze when I selected “None” at the castle dungeon.
12. When Souma first offers you a job at the restaurant and you say, “I’m not sure yet” The screen goes black and does not fade back in.
13. One of the guys at the festival had an icon over him, but no message.
Delete14. Another guy in the castle, in the room before the throne room, bottom right (blue hair) has speech icon, but does not say anything.
15. There are a lot of characters that say something, but there is no speech icon above their head.
16. All the customers at the restaurant have speech icons, but don’t say anything
17. The first CG when Souma and the other guy fuck in the kitchen, there is a part where it says something like, “maybe we should try the rotor thing again,” it should be in a Souma dialogue box, but it is not.
18. You can walk on the basket in the kitchen.
19. I couldn’t choose who I wanted to milk. It just did someone automatically. I had a guy that was at 3 bottles and one that was at 1 bottle and the moment I walked up to the ring in the milking station it picked the guy that was at 1 bottle, when I wanted to milk the 3 bottle guy. There was no menu selection.
20. When I went to go hang out with Corrin and the other guy in the castle, the second time they said they were going to do something “fun” together, I said count me in. Then he asked me something about how were my cooking skills, then the screen faded to black and did not fade in again. This might have happened after I finished his romance quest.
21. At the contest lobby, the description for Link and Corrin’s special items gets cut off.
22. Some of the animations seem too short and you don’t get a good enough look at them, like the FoodGasm one. To be honest, I wish all the animations were looped longer.
23. I don’t know if I missed it or not, but I did not see a notification when I finished Corrin’s romance quest and ended up hanging out with them a bunch of extra times trying to try to finish it when it was already finished.
24. When I go fight monsters with Link, a lot of times I am clicking through the dialogue so fast that I accidently select “Easy” because it is the default choice. Then when I ask link to go back to town so I can choose a harder difficulty, it takes me back to the town entrance and I have to walk all the way back to Link. I think it would be better if it took you back to the same spot where you talked to Link. Or also if the default choice was nothing so you can’t accidently press the first choice. I think that would be best for most choice selection.
Well that’s it. Hopefully you find this helpful. I still have to do the other two guy so I may send you more later on. Great game!
Wow thank you for this awesome feedback, let me add some to it :D.
Delete1. I got you, I'll add a little dialogue to explain that at the end of Yuuto's dialogue.
2. This was already fixed in version 1.01 ;).
3. I'll fix this for the next version.
4. Probably forgot to add that x).
5. I'll add some random dialogues for him.
6. Oops haha, I'll fix this.
7. Unfortunately, you can't make gradient shadows, its just a way to show that the road goes down.
8. Yeah, he was supposed to have a special quest but I couldn't put it in the game before release so I'm leaving him like this for now.
9. Oh, I'll add a dialogue for him ;).
10. Mmmh, this one might be a little more tricky to fix but I'll find something to get it fixed.
11. Same as above.
12. I'll try to fix that one, but I might remove that choice completely as it is a bit useless imo.
13. I'll try to find him and add a dialogue.
14. Same as above.
15. You might be talking about the shopkeepers and the characters behind the counters, that's because I can't since the plugin doesn't take counters into account unfortunately. It might be fixable but I can't say for sure.
16. Oh yeah I probably forgot about these guys lol.
17. I'll fix that one for the next version ;).
18. I'll take a look, but I think this one was fixed in v1.01
19. Yeah... it picks the first guy in your party, I'll try to do something about it but it might not be for the next version as it might require a bit of work.
20. That's... a weird one lol but I'll definitely have to take a look at that.
21. I'll try to fit everything in the box but it can be hard as it's very limited x).
22. Unfortunately, this is not fixable. In mugen I don't have any restrictions, but in RPG Maker, I have a frame limit and image limit so I do what I can with what I have x). However, I could add a plugin that could slow down the animations, not sure they will all look good if you toggle on that option though.
23. Possible that I forgot the little notice, I'll add it in.
24. Yeah I'll change the choice option, I tried to change them all but I probably forgot some others, I'll fix this for the next version.
Again, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to do this, it really helps me out! :D
DeleteThis game it's so perfect,really. But I have a question: all characters gonna have a animation when we finish their quests,or it's just for link?
ReplyDeleteFor now, it's just for Link, I might do it again, but not all characters will have that as it takes MUCH more time to make x).
Delete¡Amo este juego! Se nota el trabajo, y las horas que pasaste diseñándolo. Felicidades. Espero pronto las actualizaciones.
ReplyDeleteTengo una duda, la primera misión la del castillo ¿cómo puedes ver al rey? ¿es posible llegar a él de algún modo? Solo puedo encontrar a Corrin.
Thank you!
DeleteYou can't see the king for now, but I do have something planned for him ;).
Hello, I really love all of your games, especially this new one. I have a question is that after the contest I just got one seal but no coins, so where can I get them? I really want to exchange those hot pants lol
ReplyDeleteThank you!:D
DeleteIn contests, you can either get medals or coins. Coins are not viewable in your inventory but you can still talk to the clerk to see how much you have by selecting the exchange option. (I'll be adding an item to view your coins in the next build).
You earn coins by simply participating in the contests, the more points you score, the more coins you get.
As for the medal, you have to beat the high score of the night set by another harem. That high score can been seen at the board near the clerk.
I hope this help!
Oh I think you should also update your game! If you have the very first release, there was a bug in the contests where you wouldn't receive the proper reward ;). It was fixed in an update. You can transfer your current saves by transferring the save folder over to the new version :).
DeleteOh dear fucking lord I can NOT believe how amazing you are at making stuff like this. I bow down to you.
ReplyDeleteThat said a few things I'm a bit confused about... What's supposed to happen after maxing out everyone's relationship points? There's apparently cliffhangers on all 3 "finished" routes such as the meeting with the king in Corrin's route suggesting there's a continuation to that storyline, constant mentions and teasing for Midan in Link's route and the most apparent one in Souma's route, the new restaurant being opened up and the bouncer not letting you in past the crowd line in front. Are you planning on adding more to those later on but consider them finished for this initial release, or what...? I'm a bit confused by that, lol.
The Link animation is the best fucking thing I've ever seen, Jesus Christ. Like everyone else I'd LOOOOOOVE to see more of that for the other routes as well, or even more for just Link or something. That was phenomenal~
But the ABSOLUTE BEST of everything that's available in the game are obviously the contests. Oh my fucking god I could fill up 10 semen cups in the milking farm from what I'm able to do in the contests. And there's probably more I haven't seen with Minami yet because there's only so much I can jerk off to with the other 4 guys~ But the amount of stuff you could add to the contests is pretty much endless. I'm a bit confused by why the judges' models look much cleaner than the blurrier animations of your characters? Is it not fixable? Kinda sucks but it's ok since the animations are still watchable.
...But yeah, about the contests. Do you plan on making judges part of the sex in some moves? Will we be able to participate as viewers for other harems' battles? Could we battle AGAINST other harems at some point? Will the MC be able to bottom for some characters in any moves, because I really dislike when the MC is forced to be only a top (minus the orgy text event in your bed at night but that doesn't really count). SO MANY QUESTIONS... But all aside this is fucking unbelievable how good it is, you're a god. <3
Thank you very much! I have some answers to your questions :P.
DeleteEvery town has a special story and characters who are part of that story will come together to solve the problem once you recruited them all. For example, once you have recruited Elsword, Link and Corrin, there will be a special event to take care of the Demon threat in Castle Town and all events in their story are related to that. Same goes for Souma but you don't have a lot of details concerning what will happen yet ;).
More animations COULD be done, but I'm not planning on making another just yet, these things are extremely time consuming xD. Maybe I'll give it another shot once Sora comes around.
For the contests, I'm actually kind of limited for the stuff I can add xP. I mean, I can't have complex animations like in mugen and characters are limited to about 15 animations. As for the blurry characters, that's also another restriction. In order to make them look the right size, I have to zoom them in 200% otherwise they'd be really small. That's a restriction coming from RPG Maker itself so it'll have to stay like ;P.
I'm not planning on making the judges part of any moves. The judges actually are part of the background so they can't be animated or moved. Since they also change, it wouldn't be possible to have them part of the moves.
Nope to see other harems battle simply because I would have to make animations for alll the characters in their harem and I have a finite amount of slots for animations. Same goes for actually battling against other harem. The only exception would be if you don't actually see their animations but I wouldn't count too much on that kind of stuff unfortunately.
As for the MC being bottom, I could make that happen for some moves, yes and I actually should have done that lol. Chances are that I'll probably allow him to do it in the future ;P.
Ah ok then, if it's a restriction from PPG Maker, it makes sense you can't do absolutely everything and anything lol. But there's still a lot you can, and already have, and that's just mindblowing, especially how AMAZING whatever is already added looks.
DeleteThat sucks with the harem battles and judges, I kinda meant making the judges their own animated sprites and "dragging them out" of their chair to attend a certain move then having them go back on the chair when the move is done. But again, makes sense in case they're part of the background that they'd have to stay sitting on the chair even if there was a move with them, having duplicates on screen. ...........Not that it'd be such a huge issue. ;D lol but nah, it's fine. There's a lot of stuff already available. I kinda just found the judges hot too, so, y'know, the more the merrier~ :P The judges can't be animated, btw? Like have them jerk off in the chair during the battle or cum when the battle is over or something?
Having the MC bottom would be PERFECT~ Unlike that pile of shit Gay Harem online game where MC is literally a fated top forever, would be awesome if yours could get fucked as well in this already trillion times better game than GH on its initial release~
Oh another thing I was curious about, if having 4 characters in your contest battle minus the MC is possible, but I guess MC is crucial for the summons etc so it needs to be only 3 characters max. Again unfortunate, but perfectly fine as well~
Honestly these are just personal preferences and nitpicking on what every individual would like to see in a game like this where almost ANYTHING is possible, but holy fucking shit I can't get over the fact how magnificent what you already made is... Keep it up man, you REALLY know your stuff~ <3
