Haven's Port - Build 21 (Patreon)

Whew! Sorry again for the delay everyone! I also apologize for slightly missing the midnight quote I gave in my last note. I actually finished around 9:30pm, but I had a lot of trouble with the upload for reasons unknown -_-. Seriously, every step of the way, even just transferring between my own systems on my own network, caused issues >_<.

On the plus side though...hooollyy waffles, there is a lot more in this build than even I realized. In point of fact, my previous count of scenes even flat out missed one (oops). Which means that, if you count the major variants (as in, scenes that have a futa version), there are actually 21 scenes in this build. Adding in just how large and/or complex some of those scenes are, and there's no question that this is one of the most dense builds I've ever released as far as word count goes. And it's no joke on render count either!

In general terms, the goals of this build were two fold. First, to wrap up the remaining date content of the game. Jazerhra and Lexie are now pretty much done. I will probably add one additional Lexie scene of some type in the next build, but other than that date content is pretty much finished off for the game. Including the last planned scenes for Fiona and Akari as well. Though Fiona and Louie might get a bit of extra content when I do the Arena Champion ending.

The second goal was to introduce the first 'Ending.' I've said it before, but I'll say it again here for clarity. These 'endings' aren't actual the end. You can keep playing the game after they are done. And, once the others are in the game, you'll even be able to collect all of them on a single play through if you want to. They are, however, the closest thing a Free Roam game can get to an Ending, without defeating the purpose of a free roam game in the first place.

In this case, I kinda...dove into the deep end. The Merchant Princess ending is probably actually the single most complex of all the planned endings. And, recklessly, I decided to do it first -_-. Because I never learn, I guess? There are 11 scenes just for that one ending. And the way the whole thing works made the programming some of the more complex stuff I've done for Haven's Port. Well...less 'complex' and more 'quantity,' but quantity has a complexity all it's own.

At any rate, the build is here, and you can check out more details in the release notes. NOTE: Testing was equally complex and chances of bugs are high in this build. Please report them if you encounter them!

Build 21 Release Notes:

This build focuses on date content and the first Ending for the game. It contains 21 new scenes, plus bug fixes, a new title, and a quality-of-life change.

- The Merchant Princess: The largest addition to this build, pursuing this ending allows you to invest in businesses around the Isles. Two already existing ones, and three new opportunities. Accounts for 11 of the 21 scenes in the build.

- Jazerhra Updated!: Jazerhra has been massively updated to bring her inline with other 'Lovers.' Her activating conditions are still a little more obscure than some, but if you find them, she can now get full Lover status. Which includes, of course, additional Dates for her. Accounts for 5 of the new scenes in this build.

- Lexie Updated!: As I've been teasing for a while, Lexie can now be asked for a date, after certain conditions are met. And, of course, afterwards you can ask her to be your Lover, unlocking a bit more content. Accounts for 3 new scenes in the build.

- Akari Updated!: Akari has gained her final date, available once she's your Lover on Rose Garden.

- Fiona Updated!: Fiona got her Rose Garden date, completing the set of invitations you can send from the Eastern Cottage residence.

- Quality of Life Fix: Becoming a Spirit Champion now unlocks all islands. The Acolyte's hall on Rose Garden is still off-limits for non faction members. As are various options on the Main Island. But you can now at least get to Jerta or Rose Garden if you decide only to pursue one faction or the other. This is particularly important for Rose Garden, since it was otherwise completely inaccessible to players doing a 100% lesbian play through.

- Bug Fixes: Several long-standing bugs regarding the passage of time were fixed. There are probably more. I regret how I built the time system for this game T-T. A few other bugs were caught and fixed as well.
