Haremon 0.17 (Patreon)

Edit: 0.17 has been patched 6 times now, so it should be stable! Give it a look if you haven't already!

Edit 2: 0.17 is now public (free)! Scroll down for the itch link.

Hi everyone! July's build is now available, adding a new H scene, more voice acting, improvements to the battle system, tons of new Guild content, and many quality-of-life changes & bugfixes.

With that said, C-Cup patrons can download the build here!
DD-Cup patrons can download the soundtrack and high-res CG archive here!
E-Cup patrons can download the debug version here!

Finally, if you're not a patron:
1) Consider becoming a patron! It's only because of our generous patrons that the game is able to remain free. Now is a great time to join, as we're starting to bring on a lot more artists and voice actors, and our patrons are how we're able to pay them all for their work. Any amount goes a long way to improving the game and keeping it free!
2) You can now download 0.17 for free at itch.io (just click "download", and then when you're asked to name a price, click "no thanks")

Thanks as always for your support! I hope you'll forgive the somewhat smaller updates as the artists and I continue to work on Chapter 2 in the background. I'm really happy with how this next story update is coming along, and I hope you'll be here when it's ready in a few months!

CHANGELOG (0.17) -- Changes marked with a + were suggested by players on Discord!
(If you missed 0.16, you can check that build's changelog here. All of that content is included in 0.17.)

Major additions & changes
- Added the Gargoyle's first H scene. This will be integrated into the story in Chapter 2, but for now you can activate it by inviting her to your room and asking her to fuck.
- Added a ton of voice clips for the kitsune (battle lines and basic interactions)
- Added more voice clips for Miruku (some new reactions in battle, and various interactions outside of battle)
- Added two new Guild Ranks, complete with over 25 new guild jobs to complete! (a few are in earlier ranks)
- Completely revamped the Mood system. Instead of a Haremon's mood being a single point on the triangle, it is now a triangle itself. This means that each mood attribute has its own value, so you can (hypothetically) have every mood maxed out simultaneously. There's too many specifics to explain in detail here, so check the in-game tutorial for more info! Additionally, Seduction techniques now have a Pleasure requirement, to make Lewd stance actually useful and make Seduction characters less OP.
+ Added the ability to re-order techniques in the Haremon app.

Minor additions & changes  
+ Added an option to the bedroom menu at night that allows you to replay any sex scene you've unlocked.
+ Added a "Take off your clothes" Manipulation command, to make it possible to tame Haremon without dealing damage.  
+ Add a "total damage" popup after multi-hit moves
- Made many Guild Jobs MUCH less frustrating/RNG-heavy, in two ways: the required item for fetch quests is guaranteed to occur in its associated event, and the necessary event is (theoretically) guaranteed to occur next time you visit the appropriate dungeon. For example, accepting the "Entomological Educator" job will ensure you trigger the Bug Catching event next time you visit the Plains, and will ensure the bug you can catch there is the correct one for the quest.
- Added new kinks: Gold Digger (+50% gold from manipulation) and Muscle Worship (+25% shards gained). These are learned from magazines obtained as Guild Job rewards.
- Removed the annoying "loneliness" mechanic that caused Haremon to lose affection if you left them too long at the ranch
- Removed the date verification system due to bugs and frustration. Seasonal content will simply be patrons-only until launch.
- "Sort by recent" now puts recently obtained items at the top of the list instead of the bottom
- A few tweaks to the Curse system: Avarice no longer increases the value of sold items (for real this time), the penalty for the Gluttony curse no longer scales with your curse level, the chance of a Haremon retaliating under the Wrath curse was boosted, and the penalty for the Envy curse has been changed to "increases your enemies' success rate with manipulation"
- Removing a piece of clothing in battle will now always actually remove clothing (previously, outfits with fewer "layers" could sometimes result in no visual change when clothing was removed)
- Added an "actor scale" setting, which lets you choose how near/far characters appear in VN scenes. Default is Far. For now, this setting is hidden (since it can cause some weirdness with certain scenes and effects) but you can still change it by opening the game's "haremon17.ini" file (located in %localappdata%\Haremon) and changing the value of "actor scale" from 1 to 2 or 3.
+ The tiles and events at the Beach are now in set locations, with only a couple tiles offering the chance of an alternate event. Annie's shop now always occurs on the last tile before the exit.
+ Added a debug command that lets you change your name: "changename [x]". Unlike most commands, this one is available to C-cup patrons as well as E-cups.
- Haremon's info on the Contacts list will now reflect their current Form. This means you can invite an Awoken Haremon over to your house. However, they cannot be taken out on a date.
- Removed the "Check" command in battle. Instead, selecting "Scent" will let you check already-scented enemies without ending your turn.
- Significantly reduced the time limit on most guild jobs.
- Removed the "Captivating Beauty" guild job. This may cause some problems with imported saves, so make sure you don't have this quest active when importing your save.
- Changed the effect of the Sapiosexual kink; it now lets you ignore the Focus threshold of all moves.
- Scene popups (item obtained, affection up, etc.) are now added to the backlog.
- The backlog now persists between scenes (it is still cleared when loading a save file)
- Added a particle effect to the "Desperation" scene for... well, you know...
- The "lost alchemist" can now only be found during the associated Guild Job. Also changed the way her advice works, to make the Mushroom Hunting event more useful.
- Added a (hidden) second use for the Mysterious Lens
- Added a "Special Thanks" section to the credits app
- Added "item added" and "item removed" popups when accepting/canceling certain jobs at the Guild
+ Input icons will now only change due to detected controllers the FIRST time you start up the game (previously, they would always change on startup if there was a controller detected)
- Removed several superfluous settings from the settings menu. They can still be edited manually from the INI if you absolutely need to. This also means your settings will be reset upon starting the new build.
- Added a "resolution" setting to the settings menu. You can choose from 7 preset resolutions, or just stretch the window.
+ Resizing the game window will now maintain the game's aspect ratio.

Bug fixes
- Fixed a crash when a Haremon uses the Breastmilk technique
- Fixed some bugs in the "Napping Horde" event: returning from battle no longer sends you to the wrong point in the scene, the background is no longer absent, the fox ghost sprites are no longer cut off at the top, and the counter now decreases only when you KO a spirit, not the foxes themselves.
- Fixed a bug that caused you to obtain a contact for an Awoken Haremon, meaning you could date her in her Awoken form
- Fixed several clothing-related bugs: Vex now wears her earring at all times; aqua no longer wears her collar with the wrong outfits; the kitsune now removes her socks before her bra as intended; Jet no longer takes off her bra early; Miruku's maid collar is now removed when her dress is; Miruku now wears a collar with her swimsuit; Aqua's bra straps are now visible beneath her dress in her default outfit
- Fixed a few buggy Truth or Dare interactions, like Jet not telling you her secret, and Miruku telling you the wrong birthday.
- Fixed a bug where you could have Miruku in your party in both forms.
- Fixed a bug where you could fail Guild Jobs that weren't even active.
- Fixed a bug that prevented Passion Petals from being gained

- Fixed a bug where you couldn't close the Load screen on the main menu (also removed the flash that happens when you do this)
- Fixed the hitbox on tutorial buttons in battle (the camera movement made it almost impossible to click them before). Also, hitting "back" on page 1 of a tutorial now closes it (only when viewing from the Help app or the battle menu)
- Fixed a bug where the wrong voice clips could play on the victory screen
- Fixed a bug where quest-related items weren't removed from your inventory when you cancel an active Guild Job, or when one expires.
