If anyone is interested, I reinstalled to try out the recent patch and here are a few things I noticed:
- It seems performance improved in Harem a bit. Not drastically though like Helius was claiming, looking in the direction of other players still causes frame drops, even when you have them set to hidden
-Gallery mode no longer has the bug that caused blurry screen when zoomed in close, though Gallery still hasn't been updated as far as new content past patch v0.4.9, just bugfixes
-UI seems updated(more responsive)
Just some personal thoughts; the menu before you enter Harem is cluttered with a bunch of stuff and makes navigating overly complicated. I'm still not a fan of the multiplayer aspect and the gacha stuff. I know Helius put up a vote to add Dormitory mode after it was cancelled, so hopefully that has local save-progression assuming the current supporters actually voted for it. I still wouldn't recommend anyone buying this, but improvements are improvements, gotta give credit when it's due.
If you're an older supporter and thinking about reinstalling, you really aren't missing out on much imo. I'm assuming people here that actually own the game were looking for the pirated version so they could play by themselves. Nothing has changed on that front, multiplayer is still forced and Gallery in the current patch has the same amount of content as the version hosted here.
