This has already been announced on my old patreon, blog, and the remake thread, but in case anyone here is only here:
Harem Remastered Launched, Demo available!
I had been talking before joining Fylokon Games this year and we’ve been working for the last two months to familiarize ourselves with RPG Maker MZ and KoiKatsu Sunshine, the two programs we’ll be using to create Harem Remastered. We’re comfortable enough with the programs now to release a Proof of Concept (PoC) to show you how we will be improving the admittedly outdated tech used in Harem v2 and create something a tier better than before.
You’ll find our new Patreon and links to the demo download here:

A few things I think need to be mentioned about the new project:
First, this is far more of a team project than before. For v2, while I certainly had people helping me create the game, every buck stopped with me. Writing, imaging, coding, testing, social media, business, etc. I think just the complexity of that factored into my depression and burnout, being able to just focus on some writing and imaging while relying on others to handle the rest has already made this far less stressful for me.
This project will be funded through Patreon like the last attempt but there’s a few differences I think are important. We’re going to be moving to a pay-on-release instead monthly subscription model. You’ll only be charged when new content is available so hopefully that makes people confident in subscribing. We do intend to release monthly and might switch to that later *if* the community consents.
So what is a release? Currently our minimum standard for a release will be 100 pages of rewritten/new content and the images to support those documents, 1-2 new scenes or significant events, and all commissioned work completed. Those numbers may go up over time but should never be below that. Most of the 1m1 content is already completed and it’s coming in about 120 pages of old and new content, every word of which has been rewritten to keep the content while increasing the breadth and depth of the world.
Current schedule goals: The PoC is 100% done and is available on the Fylokon Games patreon right now. 1m1 should be ready by April 1st and will complete chapter 1 (we might release on the 2nd just to avoid April Fools). Chapter 2 will likely take 3 releases to cover, 2m0 will cover Cindy and Sarah’s capture, world building, maybe a sidequest. 2m1 will cover Terra’s capture and gets into the questing more thoroughly. 2m2 will be focused on base scenes and completing chapter 2.
