Haremon 0.28 (Patreon)

EDIT 3: Uploaded hotfix 0.28.0.3, fixing a crash in early game battles and a crash after losing to Clarabelle.

Hi everyone! It's a late one this month, but September's build is ready. It includes Laurel's first H scene, a new story event/sidequest, a new non-romanceable NPC, and more!

C-cup patrons can download the build here.
DD-cup patrons can download the CG archive and MP3 soundtrack here.
E-cup patrons can download the build with debug console access here.

As always, thanks for your patience and your support!

A note before the changelog: Next month's build is planned to overhaul the flow and progressions of the entire game, as well as adding some new scenes here and there. Due to the overwhelming about of changes, your current save files will no longer be supported; however, I'll prepare some pre-made save files if you don't want to replay the game (though I think it'll be worth the replay!)

CHANGELOG (Alpha 0.28):

Major additions/changes:

- Added Professor Laurel's first H scene. It is triggered by a text message upon completing the Trial and Error quest. If you've already completed it, importing your save will trigger the text message automatically.
- Added a new story event/sidequest after Chapter 2: "A Warm Welcome". It'll be triggered by an automatic text message if you've completed Chapter 2, and will take a couple hours to complete.
- Added a simple minigame that can be played at any time after completing the aforementioned story event. Completing this minigame unlocks dialogue and a new Keepsake item.
- Added a new minor NPC. She's kind of a secret, but you can meet her during the aforementioned quest. This character is NOT romanceable.
- Added more voice acting for Aqua (monarch) including interactions in dungeons, on dates, and in the bedroom.

Minor additions/changes:

- Edited and relocated a previous H scene to occur at the completion of "A Warm Welcome".
- Increased overall Shard yield from non-boss encounters by a factor of 25%.
- Added two new types of panties: Reflective Panties and Reflective Panties +. The base form can be bought from Kira, and the upgraded form is crafted with it, as usual. Also added Laurel's Panties.
- Removed the restriction where you can't talk to Annie while Kira is in the shop. She'll now just tell Kira to go do something for a while.
- Added a new Research Note about the history of Longwood.
- Merged most 2-part research notes into 1 page, for organizational reasons.
- Slightly altered the Bramble Scramble event.
- You can now back out of the withdraw/deposit menus at the ranch.
- Lowered Circe's max HP to 45, and Jet's to 70.
- Your Haremon won't be displayed on the town screen if you have an unread message from her; this is to prevent the awkward situation of texting a girl who's literally right in front of you.
- Removed gold vouchers from chests.
- Raised Takedown's recoil damage from 1/4 to 1/3, and lowered its base accuracy.
- Lowered the base HP of Mr. Leaky and Stinking Violet by 10.
- Breastmilk's healing amount was boosted (was 25-50%, now 50-75%)
- Added a tooltip to Keepsake items showing whether or not they're active; also added a tutorial explaining Keepsakes when you first obtain one.
- Added icons to the "tell me about yourself" menu in the bedroom that show which questions have already been asked.
- Improved the responsiveness of the debug console.
- The Crystalline Timepiece now removes choice timers altogether, rather than doubling their time limits.
- Moving between image variations in the Gallery app now uses the bumpers (or A/F), meaning you can go backwards. Also, the current and total # of variations is now displayed in the corner of the image.
- The Haremon displayed on the title screen will now begin with the one whose voice clip is played.
- Fixed the Cowprint Panties showing the wrong healing boost percentage in the item tooltip. Also altered that percentage.
- Added a cuica to the victory theme. Yes this is a very important addition. It's like a whole new game. (It's updated in the Special Edition folder too. You're welcome.)
