Haven's Port Build 8 (Patreon)

*Update* There were a couple of semi-serious bugs already reported. So I'm updating the Downloads to version 8.1. The GDrive is already done and the others will be replaced with the next couple of hours, hopefully. Likewise, the Online version is currently being patched. That may take a bit longer due to my host's FTP being a slow little bitch.

Whew! Build 8 is here! Sorry it's coming midday, rather than the early AM that I'd hoped for, but there were a LOT more bugs to squish than usual. Like, a lot a lot more. And on that note, please report bugs or missing images if you find them. The best place to do so is either as a comment on this post, or as a direct message to me here on Patreon. Given just how many bugs I dealt with this time, I'm quite sure I missed a few :-(. Please report them so I can squish them properly!

And with that plea out of the way... (seriously, please report bugs, please).

Okay, with that plea REALLY out of the way, a bit about the build itself. I'm actually extremely happy with how this build turned out, even if I didn't squeeze as many scenes into it as I'd hoped. Part of that is the fact that I let myself do more renders per scene in a lot of cases, producing longer but fewer scenes, which I think is a fair tradeoff? Regardless, being off the Port Island and onto the Main Island meant I got to play around with a lot of assets that I've been slowly compiling for the last six months or so. The result of which is that there is a LOT more variance in character races and types, among other things. And I think the results will speak for themselves!

As for what is actually in the build, it focuses on adding just two new areas, the Brothel and the Market for the Main Island, as well as allowing you to actually tier up your reputation and make it to the Main Island, of course (See the Release Notes for a Hint about how to unlock the reputation tier up). However, saying there are only two new areas is actually a bit misleading. The Brothel is the Headquarters of the Order of the Rose on the Haven Islands, and therefore there will be a LOT to do and multiple features in the long run. Even now, there are effectively a couple of different areas inside the brothel itself, with the Public Baths essentially being an entirely separate zone/area, even though it's inside the Brothel. To give you some idea of just how much content is going to be in the Rose Brothel in the long run...15 of the 17 scenes for this build are focused there...and I've barely scratched the surface.  In the end, given my plans, I'd be very surprised if the Brothel doesn't contain at least 60 scenes before it's done. 

But, enough rambling from me! On to the Links and actual release notes! Read the release notes for a hint if you're haven't trouble finding the new content!

Haven't Port Build 8 Release Notes

Build 8 introduces the Main Island of the Haven Island Chain. Per Patron Voting, I went for depth of content for each new location rather than number of areas. As such, the 17 new scenes contained in the build are focused on just two areas, The Rose Brothel and The Market, with the vast majority of scenes being for The Rose Brothel.

New Reputation Level! Citizen: If you meet the fame requirements...as well as other requirements (Hint: Mother Gloria and Captain Temlin want you to have mastered their jobs. Raise your skill at being a pirate or do all of Mother Gloria's training), you can now become an actual Citizen of the Haven Islands. In the future, this will unlock a lot of content, just as becoming a Resident does. For now, this allows you access to the next island in the chain (the Main Island) via a Ferry.
 
New Location! The Rose Brothel: The Rose Brothel is the Headquarters of the Order of the Rose in the Haven Islands. As such, there's a lot to do! You can visit the Public Baths and encounter other bathers there. You can be trained for more advanced work as a Rosegirl. And even pay for some premium sessions with Rose Brothel specialists! This area also contains quite a few new NPCs, all of which will be getting considerable development going forward.

New location! The Market: The largest of several Markets on the Main Island, there will be quite a bit to do here going forward. For now, visit the market and find work....with pay bonus for those willing to use their 'talents' to make more sales!

-Known Issues-

-Credits: GRRRRRRRRRR, I forgot to update the credits again. I'll update at least the web release later to fix this.

- All the new NPCs are supposed to have chat options to get to know them better. Sadly, I ran out of time. Expect that to be a major addition to Build 9.
