yeah but not purist, if i care about the tags thos forum use i will be dissapointed about each one of them everytime a new game come out,i always look at the dev notes,and the use of those tag ingame,...they not exist right now so ,no is not an harem game ,yet....
the harem for purist or not maybe ur not even one of the harem lovers..///is by this forum...u get to fuck them all.by a purist u get fuck everybody and for me i only dont want to chosse between characters in a harem game...it is clear enough?
Hey, I've been meaning to come back on that for a while now already, so here goes.
I've actually been reading up a little on the definition of what makes a harem (e.g. in here:
Announcement - New Tag Discussion). For sure it doesn't seem to be an exact science (to me).
There the definition is discussed (what makes a harem), and it's also compared to polyamory & open-relationship (both planned new tags).
Anyway, my concept of it was too simplistic I suppose; for me it kinda feels kinda like romancing >= 2 LIs at the same means 'harem'

, but I suppose (get now) that that's not nearly enough for people into the genre (and having certain expectations) & doesn't warrant the tag.
So yeah, I'm sorry if I offended harem lovers. I like it, but I'm apparently not a particular fan or smthng / aren't looking for a specific experience in that regard (but I also don't like having to pick one girl over the other).
Plus I must admit that I've only played the first few updates of the game, so I wasn't even sure how things have developed from there. But for me it already felt like a game where MC would romance > 2 girls at the same time, thus a harem
I'm also aware there's this thread:
So, You Want to Make a Harem: A Helpful Guide to the Basics, but that's one massive read, haven't attempted to read that. It's also opinionated I suppose?
Curious though, the
current definition is:
A non-monogamous relationship centered around the protagonist being loved by at least two more people. Sex with outsiders is allowed as long as the core dynamic is not affected
So I reckon that's not nearly specific enough (e.g. what's this 'core dynamic' that's mentioned?). Could you describe it better (in a few sentences)?
Btw, since this issue arises quite often (right? - also the reason why I reacted a bit blunt back then I suppose), what I would like to see when a game has the harem tag, that it ideally would describe in OP (say inside the 'Genre' spoiler) what it entails exactly / how it's implemented. (Same for e.g. 'netorare', femdom, lesbian, etc...)
That would eliminate a lot of discussion already I suppose. But first/foremost I suppose it should be made (more) clear what the tag 'harem' means exactly, so everyone knows what to expect: it could be more liberal, but then an OP elaboration would be really welcome, or more strict - less need for OP elaboration right?
E.g. if mc has like >= 3 girls, but not all, he still would have his personal harem, but if 'harem' (the tag) is supposed to mean: every lewdable girl needs to be included, then yeah, the tag shouldn't be there I suppose.
Btw, regarding the picking one over the other stuff. I do recall that being able to mess around with this chick (forgot her name) in the library, required a certain amount of stat points.. Didn't like that much either (and was planning of 'fixing' that in a mod actually)
Anyway, I suppose I should have kept my mouth shut, at least until I had played through it all
