Haremon Direct: February 2021 (Patreon)

This post contains minor spoilers for the upcoming Chapter 3.

Is February over already? This month always flies by... Anyway, I've been hard at work on Chapter 3 all month, so I'm here to share another update with you all.

Unfortunately, much work still remains on the new Chapter. I continue to appreciate your patience as you wait for the new content. This will be probably the biggest single content update in Haremon history, so I promise it's worth the wait!

Before we get to the Chapter 3 teasers, let's start with a gameplay update. In last month's update post, I shared that the Pleasure system has been reworked. This month, I'd  like to show you a brand-new feature you can use to customize your Haremon: the Sentiment Board! This is a new subpage to the Haremon app, which allows you to unlock and equip various passive bonuses to your Haremon in the form of Stickers.

Each Haremon will have her own Sentiment Board with 36 unique stickers. These are unlocked by increasing affection, giving certain gifts, unlocking memories, bonding between Haremon, and performing various gameplay challenges. For now, I've only had time to implement Miruku's board, as a proof of concept. The others will be added as time goes on. For now, I hope you'll have fun unlocking all of Miruku's stickers and trying all the different bonuses they offer!

Another non-Chapter 3 update that will be coming in 0.30: redone art for Chapter 2! I've always been a little displeased with the quality of Chapter 2's environments, so I've had them redrawn by the same artist who's drawing the backgrounds for Chapter 3. Here's a sneak preview:

Looks great, right?

As a final general update, I've reworked Dates to function on an Enjoyment system, similar to Poppy's party. You'll gain and lose these music notes (Enjoyment) throughout the date, and receive a ranking at the end of the date based on how much Enjoyment you ended up with, as well as a chunk of Affection ranging from zero to a full 100% relationship rank.

Now then, I guess it's time we got to some Chapter 3 teases. Above, you'll hear a song used for one of the new environments. The three songs I've shared so far are less than half of the new music in Chapter 3, so I hope you'll look forward to hearing the rest!

Next, here's a quick peek at a new minigame that will be integral to your progress through the new chapter:

These puzzles can be a little tricky, but as usual, I've included measures to help you out if you get stuck (or just don't want to bother with puzzles at all.)

Next, some out-of-context dialogue to whet your appetite:

And now, previews of two new H scenes that will be added in 0.30:

Who could that one be?

There are more new H scenes coming in 0.30, too! I can't share an exact number, but if all goes well, there should be a total of 4-5 new H scenes added in this update.

And that's all I have for you today. I'm trying my best to share substantial previews without spoiling anything major, so I hope you understand and appreciate what's been shared here.

Anyway, I will continue to work hard on the new Chapter, and I hope you will all stick around to see it when it's ready. As usual, I want to thank each and every one of you SO much for your continuing support and patience. This chapter has been a major undertaking, and I sincerely feel extremely grateful to you all for continuing to keep the project afloat, and bearing with the long development time.

I'll see you all again when I have more to share. In the meantime, you can catch me on Discord to see what I'm working on day by day.

But before I go, one more thing...

Beware of the creature imprisoned deep beneath HAREMCORP HQ...
