HaremCards is a new erotic game focused on customization and freedom of choice​
Other then being grindy as hell the game was great up until you try to let someone else impregnate the chick instead of you and the game uses some random ass magic to change the events..... what happened to freedom of choice ?

Question, how does Total Usage work exactly? So you need to cum 6 times, but cumming too quickly is bad so you need to use Hold It? Is that how it works? It's kinda counterintuitive to be honest. Would also be nice if there's a counter that counts Total Usage in that case, because I'm pretty sure I came like 7 times in one sex scene and it doesn't up my stat.
Total Usage triggers every time after you cum 6 times (if the last cum was not triggered by premature ejaculation), you will know that total usage happens because of the popup:
HaremCards - Build 7_20_2023 10_17_51 PM.png

However! I just checked the code and although the chance to increase the stat after the Total Usage should have been around 90% because of a bug it is now much lower, around 30-40%, so right now it is much harder to increase Stats, this will be fixed in a new release that I'm already working on. Sorry (first version hiccups and all that) and thank you for pointing this out Memorin! :)

i dont want to ruin your mood but: did you tested this game before releasing it?
mechanic of increasing stats is really REALLY bad. it ruins impression of game.
Hi Barbarian, not ruining my mood at all, I'm glad you wrote. :) The Game was of course tested. Our testers had a very conflicting opinions about Stat raising mechanism (50/50), some thought them challenging but working, others too complicated. I decided to stick with the original system and created an in depth tutorial, (which can be turned on at the beginning of the Game) which leads player through all the systems in the Game and explains everything. I also included a game book in the extra content folder to help players familiarize themselves with various mechanisms. However! The Stat increase mechanism is now damaged thanks to a last minute bug that sneaked in right before the release, it will be fixed in the next update. ;-)

Subscribers that pay for the Game on patreon mostly like how is the game designed right now, but I am also interested about what you all think. How would you feel about a new feature in the game (Game Modes) that would allow you from the beginning to choose how you want to play the Game? One mode could unlock all the content and let you "freeroam", other could have different stat increasing mechanisms, what do you think?

Cheers,
Mr. Palm

Yeah... that bugs me too. I was trying to add an option for a father other than player in the pregnancy feature but I hit a limit in the structure of the code and variables setting. Sorry! Glad you think the game was great though. We will work on reducing the grind and increasing the fun. :)

I do think that the grind problem will be MUCH better when there are actually a ton of harem cards to choose from (since just unlocking them gives you 1 stat) so I'm hesitant to say the system is bad until there are like, 10 harem cards to choose from (which will put you at a minimum or 3-3-3 stat theoretically).

I personally think Total Usage should 100% increase your stats because that's what the tutorial seems to suggest. If I remember correctly it didn't say "high chance of increasing your stats", it says "increase your stats."

One thing I really don't agree is that there's a small chance the girls are not there when you invoke them. There's no reason this should be a thing any more than your key input has a 90% chance of succeeding. It's just an unnecessary waste of actions.

Finally, I would suggest looking into Venus Blood Hollow International for how to make hardcore sex actually hardcore, but not so over the top that it becomes Edenritter or Taimanin where everything is doom and gloom and every beautiful woman is destined to be raped or killed by a billion things. Would be fun to have an evil route (but you can reset of course) where you can quickly earn stats (as one of many benefits), but you sap those stats directly from the harem cards. For example, Crystal is a very smart girl, so what if you have an especially evil sex scene where you use some sort of machine that literally makes her cum out all of her smarts and transfer them to you, but if you do this you irreversibly (unless you reset) close off Story chapters (but if you finish the Story chapters then you can never enter this route) and change all interactions (since she's now a true High School Bimbo in every sense of the word).

For Kara you sap all of her Strength and turn her from hero/sex symbol to full sex symbol, and for Anabelle it's the ultimate betrayal where you become the second First Boss but far, far worse.

After all, the game SEEMS to advertise itself as an any-fetish-goes game, but so far it seems really tame. And by tame I mean very consensual and the concessions mostly come from you (referring to the NTR scenes, unless you turn them off), not the girls.

Anyway that's what I think after completing all the story chapters and pushing Crystal up to level 22. Not going to go further because it's obviously going to be a grind, and I'm fairly sure there will be other ways to accelerate the process to level 40 in the future. Great game and incredible 0.1 you have here, May your project be profitable, and the porn never stops coming!

@ Mr. Palm Played the game for quite few hours now at end pretty much, i do like game core concept, it is little bit of a grind, but I kinda expected that help lenghten the game. I'm keen to see how game develops in the future & also have question, are you possibly going to put your game on the Steam platform.

"I was tired of all the DAZ/RENPY adult novels and wanted something else, something completely new."

"That's why a used a 20 year old sex simulator for the graphics and a 30 year old SNES game engine"
"I was tired of all the DAZ/RENPY adult novels and wanted something else, something completely new." -> That is why I focused on creating a unique gameplay with a lot of customization options and used a non-DAZ graphic to give the graphic a unique feel. :)

Thank you so much for all your input Memorin, I hugely appreciate it!

- Total usage probability, I am rethinking the balance of the stat Increase mechanisms, you are right that right now gamebook and tutorial are not correctly explaining that total usage is not a 100% probable, I will adress this and think about the topic.

- Characters missing after Invoke, the idea was to make the characters feel a bit more alive by making them sometime be somewhere else doing something, but I agree that there are better ways to invoke the feeling, this will be removed in next update

- I will definitely check out Venus Blood Hollow International, I kind of like the idea you proposed about the "evil route", let me sleep on it a little bit. :) I want to give as much options as possible on how to play the game.

- "Great game and incredible 0.1 you have here" Thank you very much Memorin, that really made my day. :)

Cheers,
Mr. Palm

Hello Dexxinax,

thank you for playing the Game, I'm glad you liked it! My plan is to release on Steam as well but I want to put some more content and development effort into the Game first, it's still fresh from the oven. :) A lot of work still needs to be done.

Also, I want to thank EVERYONE who played the Game, gave feedback and decided to support the Game, after publishing here on F95zone I saw an increase in subscribers in lower and higher tiers. The fact that people liked this little pet project of mine so much that they decided to spend their hard earned money on it is amazing and I'm already excited about next release! :)

Cheers,
Mr. Palm

I really liked what I played of the curator content so far !

but yes, the progress towards higher stats seems almost impossible. I think for me a higher chance when failing would be a big step forward.

I also feel like the limit of a fem only being able to teach her best stat is an unnecessary reduction of playing paths... is there a specific reason for that?

Cheers!

Hi Adictoris,

thank you for playing the Game! I'm glad you liked the Curator content! Stat Increasing will be adressed in the next release. :)

The limit for Stat training per FEM is actually an important part of the overall design, the idea is for player to go and experience various characters, their stories and backgrounds. So if you want to increase all your stats you need to play more than just one FEM. :) I also feel this adds a layer of uniqueness to each character.

I will address grind, limits or roadblocks with different Game Modes in the next release. You will then be able to customize how hard/easy you want the game to be so it fits your dynamics and you can unlock content at a pace that feels best for you. ;-)

Cheers,
Mr. Palm

This looks really good. Are there plans to allow you to customize the MC's appearance or skin tone? Partially because I'm a fan of IR content, but I also don't usually like the predetermined MC appearance in many games (particularly the goofy ass tool in Summertime Saga), so it would be nice to adjust them like you can with the girls.

stuck w/ stats at 3/6/3 also Curator story stops at 5 as well as Kara's story, I can't get any further w/ Crystal either, at the point where she made up w/ her mom and got into medical school but can't creampie her or have a child or anything. Not sure what else to do.

You can actually impregnate Crystal but you need level 36 or something if I remember correctly? And that means doing lots and lots of side stuff. Of course, the game does keep you fairly entertained with the new unlocked stuff - I got bondage going and sex in new costumes etc - but yeah, my suggestion is that unless you REALLY want to 100% the game just wait for more stuff to be added so that the grind after level 20+ is less... mechanical.
