When I came back, I said it would be quite a while before I would/could decide if I would return to developing Harem. Part of that is me figuring out if I even can do so, I deleted my 3dcg installation before my attempt and much of it is irreplaceable. While I community member did offer their copy and I do have some mods from it still stored, I have lost many of the mods, and all of the models and scenes used to create the game.
So I’ve been looking into different, more modern, imaging programs. I played a bit with the COM3D2 and wasn’t especially impressed with the variation of models it can create and the size of the mod community. Tried HS2 and was far more impressed with both its modding community and studio program. While stylistically it’s far from the VX ACE design and 3dcg, the results are very good. I’ve always been very sensitive to uncanny valley issues in imagers but so far I’ve been able to clear the valley and been happy with the results.
I’ve spent a few days this last week recreating characters and scenes from Harem and would like to share them with you all for feedback. Not as much as technical issues like clipping and lighting, but what you think about the models replace the 3dcg models and the mechanics of the scenes. And what you’d think if I were to use a more photo-realistic imager instead of the more anime-styled 3dcg or CMD32.

If you can't give constructive criticism, then don't give itEvery girl in the experimental is ugly
It needed to be said and there isn't a constructive way to say itIf you can't give constructive criticism, then don't give it
Instead of saying they are all ugly, you could say "they could be more attractive"It needed to be said and there isn't a constructive way to say it
I agree, Ker if you are reading this I think that using the HS2 engine to update the pictures in this game is a good move, but the only thing I did not like about the experimental pictures was the elemental markings on Terra's face and the redish hue of Naomi's skin, but other then that I think you have a good idea of updating the pictures with the HS2 system.example: The new character models could use more work to make them appealing. Some work on the nipples to make them not protrude out so unnaturally. And the backgrounds used should be less advanced. Since the world is Medieval/Fantasy, faucets and running water in the kitchen is not a suitable choice of backgrounds.
Yep Donna, Samantha, Sarah and Terra but there could be better faces for them.View attachment 2043086 View attachment 2043732
An archaelogist digging through the site at Rata found this. Does anybody recognize them?
I agree, story before art because the Harem story is a work of art.i can not state it more than i have, that it is waaaaaaaaaaay more important that Ker writes the continuation of the story, than the to art-style.
Ker has such a rare literaric talent. that is would be such a shame if he stoped writing
No. Is this some kind of Mummydrying or where they born like they got in a car accident?View attachment 2043086 View attachment 2043732

Clearly it's all the same face. I reckon it's a first try.there could be better faces for them.
Yeah it's a first try. Donna and Samantha have figures from the same creator. That might me why they look similar. But each model is different.Clearly it's all the same face. I reckon it's a first try.
True enough, but it's not bad for a first attempt.Clearly it's all the same face. I reckon it's a first try
