I honestly wish that I could. I would have never given up on Harem if it was paying off. We can't live without money sadly. However, I have always said that I would love to resume working on harem as a standalone at some point.
I already sent you a link via email, but I am glad you sorted it out. Do not hesitate to reach out to me should this occur again, in the future. Thank you for your support, and have a wonderful weekend.
Oh man I played this so long ago that you wouldn't believe always liked it may even have a replay soon would be great if the haram path was ever complete but hey there is one ending and it's a long vn but I always liked the images used and how it was presented must have taken a lot of effort to make and I think it's great
Although this was my first game, it was the one I loved working on the most. I honestly would love to complete Harem as well. But, since I don't have the financial freedom it would require to work on this (hire someone else to cover my other project for example, or vice versa) it will have to wait. I am glad you enjoyed my earliest work, and I hope to one day work on the rest of it to completion.
Well Im sorry to hear about your problems leading you to stop work on this game but they seem perfectly reasonable to me. I can say after playing it through, I enjoyed it immensly and promptly bought all 3 of your games. I hope one day while I am still alive that you get where you can revisit or continue it but if not, you left it at a good place in the story. I wish I could afford to be a monthly supporter but I cant so I hope my buying all three games helps at least a little and btw I usually dont have a problem coming up with a favorite character in these games but in this one I would be hard pressed to choose only one
Thank you. I appreciate it. I honestly don't know if I will ever be able to pick up where I left off, but if the opportunity does present itself, I will at least try to complete the HAREM path.
That was the plan. However, I can't do anything without income. And since the support for the project dropped to nearly nonexistent (as well as the loss of data) I can't promise it will ever be completed. Who knows though? Maybe if my Steam success pays off I will have the funds and time to do whatever I wish for once.
hi i been kinda fallowing this game off and on for time to time im just curious if it actually have all routes finished yet or has it sorta slipped into limbo
You ripped yourself off if so. I can't very well deny you access to the files, can I? The links are posted for everyone on the page where the purchase is made, and everyone but you has received them. My advice? Please figure out how to download it before claiming that you were ripped off.
I believe i read elsewhere that the hard drive with the bulk of the AFOTA supporting files on it was lost, stolen, or destroyed, meaning OnemanVN would basically have to recreate the entire game from scratch, or have a complete "recast" midstory.
If I'm passing on bad info from elsewhere, please correct me and let me know.
I have updated all the links with the latest builds, and renamed them accordingly, this time. I also have some bad news. Due to some family-related health issues (my parents got Covid as did both of my sisters), I was forced to move back home (Since August 1) and paid some juicy hospital bills.
This cost me greatly in more than just $. It cost me an entire month without work (August). It cost me my PC which got "lost" I use " " because it is bulls*it. It was stolen plain and simple. And although I did insure it fully... The insurance company is playing games. Delaying as much as they can. I will get paid, eventually.
Meanwhile, I have even more good news. Thanks to the 3 different flights and the 30 worthless airport checkpoints I had to go through, I have lost drives and even had some get damaged. In short, it was an absolute disaster move and it cost me nearly everything. I have rebuilt my PC from scratch over here costing me over 2200Euro, minus the GPU which I thankfully refused to ship... For a good reason.
(RTX A6000) I would never be able to afford this again, had it been lost. I am currently in the process of recovering lost data from old backups on google drive and wherever else I have placed it, but it's not looking too good. I lost almost everything new (remastered characters, etc) which means redoing them will take a lot of work. That would also leave me unemployed and unpaid. So, to put an end to this... I won't be able to work on Harem for quite some time, I'm afraid. I have now turned my focus towards SHRiNK to try and recover from this massive economical blow. I am truly sorry, but there was very little I could do to prevent any of this. For now, this is the last update. I will update this thread again if I have decided to resume working on it.
sorry to hear your family member's contracted covid I wish them a speedy recovery. take as much time as you need thank you for all your amazing content and hardwork.
The page should now be updated with the latest build, 1.0 (Love path complete.) From here on out, I'll keep working on Harem while those who love it and still support it, continue to do so. In other words, Harem will be ongoing for as long as the patron's vote/pay for it. So, we should be good for a while. I am also moving back home to my country of origin on July the 31st, so wish me luck and safe travels :) If I land safely, life resumes along with my work by the end of August. Currently working on Harem VI.
No, but I almost was. Been ill and dealing with rl issues. I had completely forgotten to update this page. That is about to change since I am still alive and well. The love path is officially done. Now I am working on Harem as I type.
Sorry to hear about that but I am glad you are alive and well! I will be patiently waiting for the next update. Real life is more important, so take care bro!
I am not sure if this has been noted or not but on the Linux version I am getting an exception has occurred message in shopping.rpyc at 54, 100, and 302 with TypeError: 'Dissolve' object is not callable. Using the ignore option seem to get past this so it's not a major concern.
I ran into a bug where my hud isn't showing, the text box and text is still there so I can advance the game but I can't load any saves. For reference it happened shortly after the Winter neutral/advances decision.
I've never encountered something like that, sorry. If you are using a mod, then try a clean install. My advice, delete the entire folder where the game is, and then unzip the build onto a fresh folder. I always recommend people delete the old builds since they can cause glitches and bugs when overwriting.
Bit late on this in terms of giving feedback but wanted to do so either way.
Focus on the Harem route, though I did take a glance at the other two.
First off : overarching story in a Harem game is always silly. No way around that. So that is not what I usually focus on. I am more interested in how the Dev portrays the inner workings of the Harem. Many writers/devs avoid dealing with that all together by using plot devices like mind control, corruption, magical powers or ignoring it completely.
I was pleasantly surprised to not find this here. Not only is the reason why the MC and the individual members of the Harem are attracted to one another fleshed out , but there is also considerable effort put into creating a network connecting the members with one another. A good Harem plot needs a focal point inside the Harem to make it more plausible why they are willing to share (however absurd the whole premise in itself might be) . You have two equal ones, that are basically the core to which everyone else connects, which allows them to interact with the MC without the whole thing imploding.
Definitely one of the good approaches out there in terms of dealing with a Harem plot plot. Good work
All in all the game was good, 0 immersion and quite a bit mistakes related to the pace of the game in both Love and Harem routes (I didn't play the sub/dom route because I'm not really into this stuff), but still good.
I don't really trust a certain character, especially after being able to trigger the "option C" instead of choosing between Mel or Alison (trying to avoid spoilers here), so I really want to see what comes next.
About the Harem route, I was kind of pissed off with those scenes about Chris and Kate 'cause geez... who's interested in that? It really wasn't necessary and the only effect that it had on me was not wanting Kate as part of the harem at all.
And I will be honest here: I REALLY miss Shadow with her normal hair color and style from the Love route on the Harem route. At first I thought: "well, he did say that renders wouldn't be repeated from one route to the other, so it makes sense I guess?" But then Alison returned her hair to what it was before, so I wonder if Shadow will do the same... and I'm still kind of sad that she won't be an option on the Love route considering what she said about Rob on the Harem route and what we see before that (not much, but enough).
Well she had to cancel her date with Rob to look after Caroline so you never know... I'm all about giving choices
I recommend at least checking out the Dom routes
They're quite different to the standard adult game definition of dom and maybe you'll prefer Shadows look there to Harem
As for Kate, she's been through a lot and will eventually be an option in Harem but every girl is optional - don't have to say yes to anyone
Next Alison update will be for the Love route so you'll find out who you can trust then but working on my other game right now and back to Alison after that
1. Games where you make a chose and see one scene extra and then the games goes on like nothing. the characters don't change or nothing gets effected aside from that extra scene.
2. Games where your choices may effect how characters behave or what the do/say. It can be change that affects instantly or at a later point in the game.
3. Lastly we have this game where you really, REALLY have a chans at affecting the outcome of what happens. I've played a lot of nsfw vn but I've never seen anything like this, it's amazing and if developed correctly the chaises may have no limit of what you can do. I'm really looking forward to future updates, both to see how the story develops and a chans at seeing what really will be possible to do in this game. Keep up the excellent work
That is one of the best break downs on the types of Vn games a player will encounter when playing these type of games. Well thought out and a credit to this developers page to have your comment here. Convinced me to give it a try.
I really don't know where you saw all of that in this game since what I saw was the classic yes/no system going on pretty much both Harem and Love route. You have option 1 that triggers a route and you have option 2 that doesn't. But oh well... to each his own.
Version 0.6.5 - The harem update Out now on patreon for early access and working it's way out down the tiers this week I'll share a full changelog when the update goes public but lots of renders, quite a few animations and although there's no real violence there is plenty of action in this update ;)
Love route update now out on Patreon on the Alison fan tier and will be working its way down the tiers in the coming days. Sorry I hadn't been keeping you all updated Just been working too much to think about anything else

are you planning on continuing this game because i love it and i really wish you would.
I honestly wish that I could. I would have never given up on Harem if it was paying off. We can't live without money sadly. However, I have always said that I would love to resume working on harem as a standalone at some point.
hi quick question, will you ever release your games on steam??
Late reply but the game is finally out on STEAM.
nice, thanks for the reminder
I badly need the Harem route finished 😭
duuude i need more nooo are you gonna expand on this in the future? haha gj btw
So are all 3.path's complete here? Like the Love harem and Domination path's or is this just the Love path version?
Hey would it be possible to get an alternative to the MEGA download? The ZIP size exceeds the size limit... which is *dumb*.
Email me with the same email you made the purchase and I will see what I can do.
its all sorted now, just had to wait til the next morning. Thx tho! It was juuuust over the 5GB limit. >_>
I already sent you a link via email, but I am glad you sorted it out. Do not hesitate to reach out to me should this occur again, in the future. Thank you for your support, and have a wonderful weekend.
OMVN.
Oh man I played this so long ago that you wouldn't believe always liked it may even have a replay soon would be great if the haram path was ever complete but hey there is one ending and it's a long vn but I always liked the images used and how it was presented must have taken a lot of effort to make and I think it's great

Thank you. I appreciate it. I honestly don't know if I will ever be able to pick up where I left off, but if the opportunity does present itself, I will at least try to complete the HAREM path.
So will you be remaking the story with better visuals for the whole game like in the prologue?
That was the plan. However, I can't do anything without income. And since the support for the project dropped to nearly nonexistent (as well as the loss of data) I can't promise it will ever be completed. Who knows though? Maybe if my Steam success pays off I will have the funds and time to do whatever I wish for once.
oh, okay! Good luck on that my dude!
hi i been kinda fallowing this game off and on for time to time im just curious if it actually have all routes finished yet or has it sorta slipped into limbo
you can request a list of the games you bought from itch-io they will send it to your email and you can download from there.
bought through ichio.. a bundle no dowload came here no download,, got ripped off.. why?
You ripped yourself off if so. I can't very well deny you access to the files, can I? The links are posted for everyone on the page where the purchase is made, and everyone but you has received them. My advice? Please figure out how to download it before claiming that you were ripped off.
https://itch.io/docs/buying/already-bought Try this if support has not replied yet.
I believe i read elsewhere that the hard drive with the bulk of the AFOTA supporting files on it was lost, stolen, or destroyed, meaning OnemanVN would basically have to recreate the entire game from scratch, or have a complete "recast" midstory.
If I'm passing on bad info from elsewhere, please correct me and let me know.
This is sadly true. That was the main reason work on the Harem path was put on hold.
OnemanVN i hope all is well with your family, we may be gamers who like your game but we hope you will update us on the family and the game soon.
Can i avoid the harem route?

Thank you.
Where is the harem update? Your log says it is released but the only download listed for Android is the 1.0 love version.
Sorry. I forgot to change the name... It's done now.
it's not letting me download the files. Is there something wrong with them again? :(
The page should now be updated with the latest build, 1.0 (Love path complete.) From here on out, I'll keep working on Harem while those who love it and still support it, continue to do so.

Is this game dead???
It seems because any link work...
No, but I almost was. Been ill and dealing with rl issues. I had completely forgotten to update this page. That is about to change since I am still alive and well. The love path is officially done. Now I am working on Harem as I type.
Sorry to hear about that but I am glad you are alive and well! I will be patiently waiting for the next update. Real life is more important, so take care bro!
Ouh man! So sorry, I didn't know. Good to kown that you are recovering and getting well. Take your time man!
The MEGA link don 't work, can be ?
came here because devs of WVM plug you and i didn't regret it haha
Best VN game, no question! Thanks bro! Looking forward to the next update!
I am not sure if this has been noted or not but on the Linux version I am getting an exception has occurred message in shopping.rpyc at 54, 100, and 302 with TypeError: 'Dissolve' object is not callable. Using the ignore option seem to get past this so it's not a major concern.
when is the next update going to be added do you think :)
I ran into a bug where my hud isn't showing, the text box and text is still there so I can advance the game but I can't load any saves. For reference it happened shortly after the Winter neutral/advances decision.
I've never encountered something like that, sorry. If you are using a mod, then try a clean install.

I know you flip back and forth with Shrink, which he are you currently focusing on now?
Working on Alison right now
Should have something out very soon...

Hello I can't download the Android file,doesn't start downloading
I just checked the link and it works. I don't know what happened in your case, maybe Mega was having issues?
May be, because I did it, thanks you
Okey. So there 3 kinds of nsfw vn types of games.
1. Games where you make a chose and see one scene extra and then the games goes on like nothing. the characters don't change or nothing gets effected aside from that extra scene.
2. Games where your choices may effect how characters behave or what the do/say. It can be change that affects instantly or at a later point in the game.

Then I hope you liked the game and that you didn't find my comment misleading
I really don't know where you saw all of that in this game since what I saw was the classic yes/no system going on pretty much both Harem and Love route. You have option 1 that triggers a route and you have option 2 that doesn't. But oh well... to each his own.
I think it's the "3 in one" element mostly
Thanks for the update! So glad to impregnate Shadow finally, so much pent up frustration there LoL!
Amazing game. Went back and completed all routes and various endings (with current free version).
I have to say, the rendering and image quality is outstanding! Can't wait for more content!
Version 0.6.5 - The harem update
Out now on patreon for early access and working it's way out down the tiers this week
I'll share a full changelog when the update goes public but lots of renders, quite a few animations and although there's no real violence there is plenty of action in this update ;)
File is no longer available.. For the Android download link
That'll be because the new version is out for patrons
I'll share it here after all the tiers on Patreon have it
Love route update now out on Patreon on the Alison fan tier and will be working its way down the tiers in the coming days.
Sorry I hadn't been keeping you all updated
Just been working too much to think about anything else
Did this one get abandoned? I really was looking forward to the next update....
I don't think so. There just haven't been any updates for it on itch. But there do seem to be updates on the Patreon site
Never!
thank goodness you have a really great plot going.
