Haremence [v0.2.0] [Arpel]

• “Waking the the dead” story event that shows more of a character of our favorite sleepy hacker
• 3 kinky repeatables with Alice
  You can now take Alice to a dungeon chamber of Twilight Flower love hotel! That’s something we wanted to make from the beginning of the development and finally it made it into the game! Eventually we want every girl to have their own “experience” there, but Alice has become the first one. There are 3 repeatable actions + some smaller stuff there for now, but eventually we want to make like 5 of them for Alice.

Amber:

• “Next logical step” story event –  Cute event about struggles of our favorite wholesome physicist
• “Hair braiding” micro event that highlights relationship between our two favorite cuties Amber and Mia

Chloe

• “Drunk Gaming” micro event – Well what can I say… this micro event showcases two favorite activities of our favorite raven-haired scientist

Chris:

• “Night of the drunk brave and free” – I refuse to provide any preview for this event. It’s literally the best event in our game right now. And the biggest. Download the freaking game and play it.
• “Was it fate?” micro event. Ever deliberated on fate’s existence and Laplace’s demon? Well, that’s what this little event is about

Mia:

• “Not caged up” – micro event. Just a small event of Mia still figuring out the life in the hideout we put in between her first ones
• Horny repeatable for sleeping Mia, akin to one Chloe already has.

Yuki:

• Yuki’s new story event – A date to know each other better
  Well the event’s name is a preview in itself. It turned out to be 376 frames in the end – quite a big one. There isn’t much lewd stuff in it though, it was meant to be a date for MC and Yuki to get to know each other better. And get to know their relationship better a bit too. So, a lot of words, not a lot of action, but we still tried to make it interesting and not boring. Hopefully we’ve succeeded in that 🙂
• Yuki’s new repeatable at the cafe. Small, but has 6 ways it can go depending on stats.
• Yuki Toyplay
  Teasing Yuki while she works her shift in the cafe. Now that the owner of the cafe won’t be a problem we can have some real fun there… This one has 522 frames on its own. So like 1.5 of the biggest events we made. And if we were to count all the ways to complete it… the number would be kind of insane. It’s designed to give a lot of freedom to the player in the choice of… something you’ll see later and hopefully will feel great to play!

Mierry:

• Mierry’s new event “Sex frenzy”
  MC wanted to go on a date with the love hotel’s receptionist… But got a bit busy and only got time for it a week and a half after. What would happen? Hint in the event name
  This one is pretty big too, at least by frames (339 frames). It also has the highest count of animations from all the events we did before – 14 (with like 4 being versions of the same one)

General:

• Old code was bulldozed, set on fire and buried six feet deep eight miles out. It was such dumpster fire, that it was completely rewritten for sake of the future development
• Rewritten text in the prologue, literally. 80 percent of the lines were changed. Before these lines were written by a drunken baboon who happened to find a typewriter. Now they are written by a person who has a few years of experience.
• Early Chloe events underwent some rewriting as well, before the nature of her escapism was not explained properly. Now she would be a more cohesive
• New location with just two little scenes of “exploring” for now
• Two new text events in the group chat
• A new shower repeatable – self shower
  The shower stuff, but reversed – now the girls can walk up on you showering! It was designed to make it easier for you to get all the shower content and be kind of cool on its own. Some of the repeatables got alternative beginnings to fit this way of triggering and the dialogues before them also have some nice things to see… So we hope you’ll like this one too!
• Chris’ changing
  If you walk up on Chris in the shower with enough relationship she’ll now be changing instead of showering. Just a little 3 frame thing, but it’s also there, sooo yeah
• New beautiful menus
  Marpel: We continue our quest in making the best UI ever for nukige.
  I have no idea why I love those new menus so much, I think they are sweet.
• Let her choose – When choosing what to do with a girl, you can leave the choice to her. (Basically a random option, but sounds cooler this way, doesn’t it?)

Remakes of the old stuff:

• A lot of events were somewhat fixed: Prologue, Mia 1-3, Amber 1-4. Chloe 1-4 + 6, Yuki ctrl lvl up 0_1, Chris 1-2 + 5. The text was rewritten, the frames were moved around to look better!
• Fixed Girl Cards in the heart menu, they are now rendered with more modern standards plus some girls got additional new cards
• Main menu has been reworked to align with our new style.
• Changed main menu music and main background music
• Alice now has a unique line in Chris “Never have I ever event” if she send you nudes before start of the event
• If you add relationship to a girl in the cheat menu, it now asks you questions about choices made in the skipped event
• Tutorial screen was remade for better readability and to better reflect the game systems in their current state
• Added icons to the stats in the heart menu

Stats before

Stats now

• Hints are now more diegetic and closely linked to the content of an event they are hinting at
• Chloe boobs are actually different in the dream world. Enough said
• Sleep got a bit reworked. Before you could press a button and, for example, Mia would show up to sleep together, even when she’s already asleep in her room. Now if you press this button in the evening MC will come to her, ask her to come sleep together and they will do so in MC’s room. And if you press the button at night, MC will come to sleeping Mia, ask if he can join and sleep in her room
• And also you can sleep with Chloe in her room now too. To do so, you can ask her while she’s in her room. The same button was added to Mia’s menu
• Prior to 0.2.0 when you hovered over the question mark in a girl’s stat menu, all you got was this dogshit window, with text aligned by somebody who is both blind and drunk, that gave you a vague direction what to do next.

Hints before
Now you get two hints, regarding main story, and side stuff respectively. Which are properly aligned and even color coded properly.

Hints now
Moreover when you open a move menu, you can see if there is an event available at this location currently, which will make gameplay more smooth, and will make you less reliant on hints.

Event available in living room
And also you can see actual location frames in move menus now. Like on those screenshots you can see Chloe reading in the living room. (She’s small, but you get the point)

And we now have the same event indicator thing when you hover your cursor over the door to a girl’s room. You can see right away if there is a new event awaiting you inside.

There is an event in Alice’s room

• Turned events with nudes into proper text events

Prior to 0.2.0 engagement with the nudes system required you to believe that both MC and the girl he is sexting with bonk their head regularly on the roof beam and forget that both of them have already had this message exchange. You could ask for the same nudes over and over again with the same dialogue and same pics every time without any acknowledgement from the game.

And most of them followed the same dialogue pattern of

mc “Hey I wanna see your tits”

girl “Of course, handsome, here you go!”

And now they’ve been rewritten to become actual text events and represent girls’ characters better (Trust me you do not want to know what Alice did with the can of an energy drink she has on her table) + we rerendered some of the old frames to give you better eye candy.

• Translation readiness

Now let’s move to a more technical part. Believe it or not, most of the text you’ve on maps, phone menus was baked in before. So for example here. The text describing the cafe was put there in photoshop and we just added this dialogue box as a png to the game. And a 1920×1080 one with a shitton of transparent space at that.

Now it’s a text properly defined in the game code, that can be modified and easily translatable and the whole game is made from proper assets

Example of baked in text
Marpel: I have no idea why I programmed it in the way I did. It’s such a stupid way to write something, I would’ve made fun of it if I saw it in somebody else’s code. Big kudos to Arlix, who spent a shitton of time rewriting it in a proper way.

So yeah… Translations. We wanted to make translations for a long time and now it’s nice to finally have an opportunity to do so. We’ve seen some community translations on f95, which gives us some ideas what is in demand, so we will probably do

Spanish and Chinese will probably be first in a 0.2.1 update, and then we will see how it goes, maybe we will add other languages later.

Unfortunately we cannot afford a human translator, so we will use AI translators and hope that it will be good. Which we think it probably will with how many advancements there were lately in this area

• Optimized file sizes

We had a bunch of old unused files that we failed to clean out during previous updates, plus we converted some of the new frames to reduce the game size. Which reduced the strain on your hard drives from 10-11 GB to ~6.8GB!

Fixes:

A lot of these were naturally fixed with complete code overhaul, but still this stuff was in the earlier version and is fixed in the new one, so…

• Rollback no longer breaks the sound of shower
• Yuki no longer keeps her hands closed on third control level unprompted
• There is no longer a random frame appearing sometime after loading
• Girl no longer masturbates before you even left the room
• Fixed in inappropriate background for some automessages
• Lewdness stat no longer adds twice for Chloe’s living room sex
• Phone does not close without animation after Yuki’s message about dress
• Girls completion percentage can no longer go into negative at the start of the game
• Player can no longer request girls nudes when he is in the same room as her
• Fixed the issue that during Yuki’s 3rd level of mind control there was incorrect line after spanking when she returned back to the counter
• Now you will be kicked out of the bathroom if you try to skip time, before Amber goes to shower
• Touching Yuki in the storeroom had some wrong frames. Fixed now
• Keyboard should not cover exit button in cheat menu if you access it from mobile anymore
• Mia does not mention “English” anymore in the prologue. Lore guardians purged this heresy
• Continuing with lore adventures. Americano was changed to Espresso.
• There were two hint buttons for Chloe’s “Venting over the bonfire” event for some reason, now only one
• Added sound of rushing water in Amber’s “Accidental flash” event
• There was no hints for “Choosing poison” event, now it has the necessary hints
• Added some cooldown between yuki’s messages so that she wouldn’t DDOS you
• Fixed the issue where you could outright skip explosive preparation part with Amber and Chris for Scarlet event (was it even implemented..? what..?)
• The input field now has a design. Even newer than the last new one. Marpel: Yes, I’ll put it like this. Before it was just a blinking cursor, now I dare say it looks pleasing to the eyes
• MC was supposed to give different mentions of the Vega infiltration with Alice in Amber “Not so inexperienced date” event, depending on what you picked there (Scared / Inspired), but it was broken. Not anymore though
• After you finish Yuki’s “Yuki’s boss and her cameras” event, the time of day could be evening, even though it should clearly become night. It changes to night properly now
• Girls’ statuses in the chat actually change from online to offline appropriately
• A LOT of minor bug fixes and typos

v0.15.1
Fixes:

• Fixed the game completion indicator, that showed negative numbers
• Fixed the missing file error in the love hotel
• Fixed error with Alice’s card in the gallery screen
• Fixed the issue with Yuki’s lewd actions being more than allowed limits
• Fixed Typos

v0.15
New things:

• One new big event and five smaller events making over 8000 words and over 500 frames total
• Two new unlockable locations on the map
• New repeatable with Mia in living room unlockable for lewdness
• Two new repeatables with Alice in shower
• Two new repeatables with Chloe in shower
• New small repeatable “hang out” actions for Mia, Chloe and Alice in the shower
• You can now trigger Mia’s first repeatable in the shower while having a lot of her lewdness points. Before it was just replaced by the second one
• New side repeatable action in a new location
• New story repeatable action in other new location
• Completion percent and hint system for repeatable actions. You’ll be able to see if you’ve done everything you could with a girl and get hints for how to do what you still haven’t. + There’s overall completion percent and overall hints on stat screen. Should be working overall, but there may be some bugs with it
• Wallpaper system. You can now change the phone wallpaper in the gallery to any of the photos from the phone
• Heart menu was finally updated. Some likes/dislikes were added, some counters were added, some were removed. And also the counters should actually count what they’re supposed to now.
• A new girl got heart menu, gallery and cheat screen cards
• Buttons with arrows in girl stat menu now switch between girls instead of switching between one girl’s character cards. To switch between character cards you can press new buttons that appear when you click the “T-shirt” button
• Mierry doesn’t manage the love hotel 24/7 alone anymore. There’s a second manager now, so it makes a bit more sense

Fixes:

• Background of the cards in the heart menu now has the color fitting for every girl. It was so in cheat menu and gallery before, so now it’s consistent everywhere
• The scene that was remade from prologue, device test with Eva, was not implemented for some reason, but now it is
• Alice’s repeatable action in the living room wasn’t increasing the fitting action counter. Now it does.
• It wasn’t possible to increase Yuki’s devotion to 2 in the cheat menu. Now it is
• We received feedback saying that placement of the exit button on the cheat password input screen is not really convenient for Android players. That’s because when you tried to enter the password, the keyboard would hide the button. So to exit you needed to first press the “back” button of your phone to exit the keyboard. Now you don’t need to because the button was moved up.
• Minor bug fixes and typos

v0.14
New things:

• Three new events making over 800 frames and 6 distinct animations total: Yuki 2, Chloe 10 / Alice 9 and Chris 8.
• New Chloe’s repeatable that you can trigger in the morning (62 frames + animations)
• Device upgrade mini-event.
• Device test mini-event (or not that mini) with a side character we haven’t really used before
• Two new outfits for two girls.
• Updated cheat screen. Now with options to decrease any girl stat, to switch between promises to Yuki and choose if you said you love her.
• New nudes from Chloe
• New repeatable action for Mia in the shower. It can be unlocked with lewdness… and also upgraded with it (making it actually two new actions)
• Alice now has a repeatable action in living room
• Girls that have high lewdness now will now sometimes be in “interesting positions” in their rooms (and you can watch them do “interesting stuff”)
• Chloe usually wakes up late… So now you can choose to sleep in with her when you sleep together.
• When no one’s using the TV in the living room, you can now click it now to watch some news of the Haremence world. Some girls can react to some particular news… And you can annoy Chris with it if you still haven’t made up with her.
• Now music changes for repeatable sex events
• Added gallery that allows to replay events
• Smaller stuff like adding a small interaction with Mia in summer outfit in the kitchen or making Amber shy after the beach event. Or this: when you max out a girl’s relationship level it will show “(max)” in the stat menu

Fixes:

• Remade scene from prologue: device test with Eva
• Incorrect trigger of Yuki 1 was fixed
• “Let’s talk in your room” button for Amber was fixed. Wrong frame was shown when you ask her to hang out before
• Phone bug with “list index out of range” hopefully
• Other stuff we forgot to record ¯(ツ)/¯
• Fixed some typos

v0.13
New things:

• Four new events making about 672 frames total: Yuki 1, Alice 8, Chris 7 and Amber 9.
• Some of the Yuki’s frames in the cafe, that were reshot to fit what they should be like after her first event, were implemented.
• Yuki has got a new radiant action in the cafe storeroom.
• Two new outfits for one girl. (We’ll add nudes a bit later)
• 2 message events were added. (One of them is for people who didn’t choose to continue Yuki’s story)
• Chloe now has a radiant sex event in the living room. In all her outfits.
• A new location was added with Yuki’s radiant action inside.
• A new side girl was added. For now there’s nothing you can do with her, but that’s only for now.
• You can now see if girls’ event delays are over in the stats menu. (the one that opens with a heart button)
• Message buffer was added. Now if you don’t read the messages girls send you, they will be put in a queue and displayed one after another when you finally open their chat. (don’t know why would you not read the messages, but still)
• Added a window thanking you for purchase at the shop, instead of doing it with usual RenPy textbox. And we also added a nice sound to accompany it.
• Two maps were added to the game menu. One depicts most of Mirace – the country where the game events are taking place – and the other one depicts most of Blackport – the city where the game events are taking place. It will help us know where everything is and what everything is, and you can take a look at it too, if you’re interested. We tried not to add too much of lore not connected to what’s actually in the game, so it shouldn’t be boring to read.
  Plus the metro map was updated to match the new Blackport map.
• And finally: another scene with walking into the occupied shower was added.

Fixes:

• Move menus for the hideout were redesigned. Well, it’s more of a “they’ve just got a design at all”. Arlix: “I just got tired of common Renpy choice buttons and decided to make it look nicer”. So yeah, it should look a lot more pretty now. And also it became a bit more functional: now you can just hover over the buttons to see who’s there currently.
• We saw that some people miss the messages about picking up girls’ outfits or toys in the bar. To be honest we missed them ourselves a few times too. So picking up the outfits will now be a conscious action: we added a button to the bar. So there should be no such trouble anymore. You’ll also be able to see if anything arrived to you just by looking at it. And also it has a nice sound now.
• Your money amount is now shown when you’re in the shop.
• In the last update, we forgot to make a card for Yuki’s fifth level, in her new dress. Now she has it.
• Fixed some errors with missing frames.
• Fixed the “suddenly filling glass” in Chloe’s hang out radiant.
• Fixed some typos.

v0.12
New things:

• Four new events with another  new character making appearance and more than 465 frames in total: Chloe 9, Mia 9, Amber 8, Alice 7
• Whole Yuki’s fifth and last level one again which means. All of these make more than 550 frames in total:Revamped radiant actions for this level: changed text in every action, replaced frames in almost all of them and some are new completely (We’ll finish completely remaking them for this level in the next update) Pretty long control level up Small greeting and goodbye scenes
• Two new outfits for two girls
• Four new nudes events including ones for new outfits
• Yuki was added to phone contact list
• Three new message events
• Added random Mia and Amber interaction in gym
• Some new soundtracks for new events
• Added special music for old sex events: Chloe 6, Alice 6 and Mia 7. Should feel a lot better.

Fixes:

• We saw some complaints about the game size. That’s why for this version we used better compression, so the game size almost hasn’t changed since the last update, despite having a lot of new content.
• We also saw some people complaining about the grind in mind controlling Yuki, so we lowered the action amount needed to progress a bit. We tried to get it to match with the number of distinct actions on each level. So now you need to do 4 actions on first and second levels and 5 on the third level, instead of 6 everywhere. It’s 20% less actions in total now, hopefully it will feel better for you.
• Fixed lore explanation of why should MC order lewd stuff to progress with the control in the thinking scene before Yuki is unlocked. It was implied from the start really, so it’s more of a rephrasing with new details:

To progress with mind control MC needs to order things that the subject wouldn’t do under normal circumstances, something they wouldn’t allow, to push the boundaries of the mind. It can be something illegal or dangerous, but both of those don’t seem like a good idea. Besides, lewd commands would give “a reward” for command execution and help progress. So he chooses it.

• Now it should be more unavoidable, but still not bland.
• Map button and move button in the bar were swapped. Should be more intuitive, we guess
• Fixed the bug that sent the player to the wrong menu after pressing the “Living room” option while being in it.
• Fixed the bug that sent the player to the wrong menu after pressing the “Living room” option while being in it.

v0.11
New stuff added:

• Four new events with one new character making appearance and more than 500 frames in total: Chloe 7 and 8, Mia 8 and Amber 7
• Whole Yuki’s fourth level which means: radiant actions, control level up and chatting with her, which on its own makes about 450 more frames
• Three new message events
• Scarlet’s model was changed to look more milfy. She now has a couple of moles and bigger hips and thighs.
• Remastered two scenes from prologue with Scarlet’s new model: Noticing her in the university and first time actually meeting her
• Outfit system for two girls with one outfit for each with short scenes of them getting new outfits and new character cards
• New nudes for one girl in her new outfit
• Radiants were moved to girls’ rooms and got versions with different outfits
• Remade the shop interface entirely
• Cheat screen for our patrons. To access it, click on the PC in your room and enter the password from the Patreon release post.
• Advanced event hints. This feature can be seen in the Mia 8/Amber 7 event. If you have enough attachment with a girl, it tells you the conditions for unlocking additional scenes inside the event. It’s a solution for players not to just go into an event with optional scenes, see that they have not enough of some points and load the save. We are not completely satisfied with it, though, so maybe we’ll change it later.
• Notifications for character card unlocks.
• New soundtracks for new events
• Door sounds in events are now different for room doors and area gates in the hideout
• There is now a small chance that Chloe won’t sleep alone
• Changed Amber’s hang out event in the gym for her not to have toothy smile on every frame, which was weird
• New things to some girls’ likes/hates sections
• Remade first scene with Mia from prologue
• Remade scene with Eva thinking about what happened in the lab
• Retook some of the frames with girls in hideout
• Retook frame with Alice’s monitor screen in her fourth event adding some new names there

Fixed bugs:

• Bar noise was playing if you escaped the bar using the “My room” option in clock menu
• Fixed bug with semen teleportation from Mia’s boobs to her face in radiant handjob
• Money you can take from Chris are now actually added to your money count
• Girls will now open their mouths when they talk in the hideout (not everywhere, but we are working on it)
• Alice won’t go to the cafe when she was asked to play together anymore
• Yuki won’t work on Mondays anymore as it was intended
• Alice’s 6th event should trigger as intended now: automatically before sleep
• You can’t ask a sleeping girl for nudes anymore
• Chat button on Yuki’s third level doesn’t disappear anymore
• Fixed two identical frames from Yuki’s third level. They could be seen when talking to her after the control session.
• Fixed some transitions. Replaced dissolves with fades where it was needed
• Fixed some typos

And before the great code rewrite we rendered so many frames, wrote and rewrote so many lines of dialogue that the 0.2.0 is also full of some cool new content for you to try out!

Now there shouldn’t ever be a delay THIS long!

We are really thankful for everybody who still stays with us after all this time!

Your support means the world!

And you can now play it online!

You heard it right!

Haremence now has a website!

And not just a website, but it also hosts a fully playable web-version of the game!

Check it out here: www.haremence.com!

The online version performs slightly worse than the downloadable one, but if you don’t wanna  bother downloading a large ass game archive – you have this option now! AND it also gives the iPhone users the ability to play the game, finally!

(You can even import saves there, in hamburger menu!)
