when i download the game i can't open it. i go through the whole prosses of opening the the thing but it wont open. i don't know what's going on i tried both versions of the download for computers but both wont open.
get 15 influence, mark matthias sometime past challenge 3, and make sure that he isn't in a conflicting form! (protect him from other players transforming him first)
Also, this won't work if you are playing the Browser build. you need to download the game to get any content past update 0.25!
i dont want to be offensive but rhiannas redesign feels off to me. like the fur on her left ear (our right) specifically is way too smooth. in her old design there was much more lines that portrayed separation and curls which looked much better in my opinion. this version looks more like she has marshmallow fluff on the side of her head. i also feel like her left ear (our right) fur is way less detailed than the fur on the rest of her body too its really jarring. just my honest feedback
i hope the next update fixes the issue i had when i first discovered the game where i got confused by the characters appearing in the bar. there really needs to be an outline or something because when i first played i thought i was softlocks
Given that this is a "puzzle" game of sorts. At some point achieving an "unchanged" outcome has become impossible since there is no path to block barmaid_ode without someone getting transformed. I assume this is not fully intended, as every other "obligatory" transformation can be subverted in some way (as of date).
Thanks. This has greatly helped me diagnosing an issue i had with a certain save-file. It seems like it was an older save. Though, through testing that event (challenge 4 in a new save (iterating)), richter still "wins" challenge 4 if "princess_akari" wins that event for some reason?
I’ve been following this game here (and on FA) for quite a while now but haven’t really played the game until recently. The game’s idea is really one of a kind, I really like some competitive tf. The characters are well designed too, everyone is uniquely recognizable. Anyways I just wanted to say I really appreciate this game and the creators behind! Looking forward to more game content.
1 am time to comment on my favorite game here. will we see more characters getting the same court punishment tfs? like multiple raccoons or slugs or hyenas. It would be fun to build a harem of the new kingdoms. and second question id also like answered if possible is are there plans for everyone getting a unique species punishment and an ending for suddenly having 12 different kingdoms?
i think will will have unique punishment forms before we start spreading thier curses, but these are both things we would like to do if we have enough time! it's still pretty low priority though.
any ideas on other punishment courtswaps? theres cow slug raccoon and hyena and shark magnificence is in the files what about bunny avian primate bug or even a fantasy creature?
Given the persistence of the pregnancy trope and the almost unsettling emphasis placed on the topic of motherhood, I wonder what the counterpart/equivalent would be, since the plan is to be equitable regarding F/M M/M F/F content.
The simplest thing would be to include mpreg; all the pieces for including it are there: coins that allow you to rewrite reality at will, regardless of all logic or sense. There's already a massive TF that almost completely eliminates the dangers and risks of pregnancy. Would it be so different to allow male oleogarci to give birth and get pregnant when we can even create women with penises with our beloved influence? Another example: using the mirror so that draconoclasts, regardless of their gender, can lay eggs and have offspring? (That way, Lewis could have precious children with the adorable Reese).
I was thinking about this when I realized the considerable number of Transformations focused on pregnancy; it will hardly be equitable if male characters are left out.
I also have said fetish but I also understand that every game doesn't need it. I am happy waiting until it comes out. It gives me a minor thing to look forward to during each update
what counts as a minor tf besides cg ae and be? muscle shortstack and fat have been mentioned but they use completely different sprites so its confusing.
anything that doesn't use a new base is considered a minor TF . muscle and fat gain used to be minor TFs in older versions, but we felt that not changing the posture did them a disservice
so those would be what we call "combo forms", which do happen alot, but not all the time. a good example would be spy + muscle growth rhianna, who uses a new base AND can have 2 stages of breast expansion on top of it. there's pretty much unlimited combinations, so we cant say all of them will get attention, but we hope to get all the important/common ones, like courtswaps and such.
so would muscle short fat and gethras ar be in that same common priority category as courtswaps and then stuff like dracodom maid lewis trophy barmaid mararzet or pregnancy content would be lower priority right? also does this mean that akarion gethra reese and magnificence are still getting minor forms?
not quite. i wouldn't say we've ranked combo forms in terms of the theme. its moreso about how often they come up in the same run together. akarion gethra reese and maggie will certainly get some minor tfs by the end.
it's looking like the update wont release until tomorrow in my time zone so i will ask a question so i can get an answer and an update when i next check itch. will minor forms be getting hyper stages like be and cg? like hyper ass hyper muscle hyper weight etc? which ones will get hyper content?
Dlc, or just additional side content for this game could be cool. I think a neat idea would be to have some shorter side stories of other characters (new ones, maybe even hold an auction for OCs to be added) being transported to the castle to do a quick challenge. Not equal to the main game's length, just like 3 oportunities for maybe 2-3 choices and a few endings.
Personally I would say have the dlc's as an epioluge for the major routes you can take like a 'the morning after' type deal. For example you see how everyone who is involved with maid path dealing with there lives now before the old memories fade away.
with the tavern and also back when imparagon was in development those graphics were sketches but put in before being finished. is there a reason you havent tried this with royal harem? you would be able to get more content out for people to see and polish it later the only downside would maybe just be annoying people who dont want to see sketches in a game thats work in progress for some reason
we have in the past! but it does take a few extra steps, (more work in the long run). for one, sketches can't use layered elements without specified rigging for them (expression overlays and minor transformations require pretty pixel exact measurements to be seamless). developing that sort of stuff for sketch artwork is possible, but most of the work has to be replaced when the assets are re-done.
the other aspect is the backgrounds. imparagon's clipping issues are less noticeable because the backdrops are primarily white, so you don't notice when there are errors in the fill layers. it would be more feasable is fall of royale harem's backdrops were also sketches, but the variety in tones and shades makes mistakes quite obvious.
in all likelyhood, we will do sketches again when we need to cover alot of ground, but will avoid using overlays for these reasons (for example, we might sketch out draconoclast muscle rhianna, but it won't come with BE or Melon minor tfs). the reception wasn't great the last time we did them, but we'll see.
a preview of forms without minor tfs would be fine i think. it just takes some imagination from the player to fill in the blanks but if it really pisses people off that much maybe you should have a warning on the option for that tf telling the player its an unfinished sketch and let them know in the patch notes
Will mirror transformations related to things like a predominantly male population, gender change, or some M/M aspect be added at some point? What we have so far seems purely focused on female transformations, and that's not fun when you're trying to have a predominantly male harem.
we hope to have an even distribution at the end of the project! but right now it's mostly decided by community votes and such, so we tend to play to the majority preference.
given that the end would be the hardest part to iterate (write) thanks to hundreds of different variations. (Ex: Full draconoclast/podalist collapse, maid plot, spy super-network, all trophy shelf, too many new races, etc.) Is it expected that "an" ending will take a while to be seen? Thanks.
it will probably be a good 4 more updates until we're ready to add some propper endings. we mainly want to make sure that mingle phase 5 is fully decked out with tons of winner driven transformations before we wrap things up!
Many thanks, I have an additional question: Is the expected format per character or per "end state"? I think it would be significantly harder to make 12 different "mini" endings for every significant character variation than a "x faction won/stalemate/lost" (I ask this mostly to know if it is a worthy endeavor to iterate anything other than absolute paths) Though, feel free to ignore this question, as it may be spoilers?
we plan to base our endings structure on how Fallout New Vegas does them. a lil collage with a glimpse of each impact made by the cast. maybe a few post credit scenes after that for specific scenarios for players to hunt down!
After the ending structure is implemented, do you plan to implement any unique endings for particular routes? As in, a unique one with a specific set of conditions (such as antagonizing everyone, only meddling with poodalist/draconoclast politics, doing absolutely nothing, etc?)
Will you be planning to maybe add more stages? It's great as-is, but sometimes it feels like we don't have enough time for both getting to know the characters and have some transformative shenanigans.
a sixth challenge more turns during the mingle phases or making flavor conversations not take up actions is very needed at this point i think. so much dialogue goes to waste because it has no effect on the game and it encourages missing out on lore and the characters because you want to focus on transforming
personally i think adding more actions would be the best since it lets you do a lot more and i dont think it disrupts any plotlines or would cause any major bugs to just do small talk with everyone. at the same time i think conversations like asking tessa her opinion on rhianna shouldnt cost an action since they dont do anything but add flavor. combine those solutions and i think the conversation issue fixes itself
woke up stupid early this december so i want to ask the community and devs a hypothetical question before i have to work. if you could add a thirteenth character to the roster who would they be and what court? personally id add a male leader of a small draconoclaste rebellion. id want to see their constant antagonising of the draconoclaste royals
Hypothetically the thirteenth character would be a Draconoclast. We've toyed with the idea of adding their army's general or a distant noble leader, but at this point in development it would be too hard to add someone brand new when we already have a fairly large cast
we uploaded an older version to serve as our web playable substitute. it won't have all the features that the versions available in the downloads section do, but it's better than nothing!
the planning of dlc before the game is finalised is a little worrying. while some stuff is understandable hearing ideas like combos or small transformations being locked behind a paywall makes me a little uneasy. the paywall itself also concerns me because we don't know the base games price let alone the dlc. not trying to be rude i just want some transparency because the modern gaming market sucks dick.
we don't plan on doing any dlc, it's just an idea. we want to focus on the core content before branching out into other stuff. it's mainly a joke, but the idea is: if we section off areas of content like "twinning" or "innanimate TFs" and save those for potential DLCs, we can save ourselves a bit of work for now while still paying heed to everyone's requests. Ideally, we can save nicher fetishes (that not everyone is into) for their own content packs after we finish the main game. if you aren't into innanimate TFs for example, you don't have to get the pack they come in, or have to pay for them as a part of the core game. it's mainly a way for our team of 2 devs to put off content until we have our core premise finished lol.
whenever we say "that's something we'd save for a DLC" we basically mean it falls outside the intended scope of the MASSIVE workload we've already set for ourselves.
understandable but you still havent answered what these hypothetical dlcs would be priced at. if theres going to be dlc for a lot of niche fetishes as you say that could end up being very expensive. again not an insult im just tired of games selling a million dlcs that cost the same price as the base game. im sure you can relate lol

Ok so for sheit and giggles I decided to double check Princess Akari status and even without Elani's event she has the dexterous trait already.
will update 0.33 have more content for any of the draconoclastes?
possibly! we haven't planned it out yet.
good i was hoping that the lion den update would mean more court specific updates between the harem ones and poodalists would get 0.31
did poodalists get updated in 0.31? i think wed get 0.29 lion 0.31 dog 0.33 dragon
purely coincidental lol
it could be not though
if you go with the theme i want muscle dad mattias
when i download the game i can't open it. i go through the whole prosses of opening the the thing but it wont open. i don't know what's going on i tried both versions of the download for computers but both wont open.
have you unziped / extracted the files?
wont let me do anything i try to do something and it just loads nothing.
the files themselves should be functional. stick with the download specified for your device, and try following some of the steps we laid out in this post: https://slushyanimals.itch.io/royale-harem/devlog/1068276/web-version-is-no-long...
Hope this helps!
it did thanks
Question, how many harem characters can i have? Since more are being posible to Harem i wonder how many i can get in one run
right now i'm not sure, but in the final game it will be 9!
I want Hydra Matthias, i like Hydras!!!
Go ahead and get him
Well yeah, but idk how to get the Harem, I tried but I couldn't
you have to harem him either after the tightrope or beat him in the forth event
get 15 influence, mark matthias sometime past challenge 3, and make sure that he isn't in a conflicting form! (protect him from other players transforming him first)
Also, this won't work if you are playing the Browser build. you need to download the game to get any content past update 0.25!
Innocent Matthias is so adorable, and the overly loyal one is funny; I love them both.
Jeezus I cant rememeber the last time I had Akari marry Rhianna I avoid the event with Elani and the books but that doesn't seem to help
Lioness Rhianna and Princess Akari before you ask
Starting to put the update art for the main menu background. Nice. Nice touch to remind what is new and to interact with.
i dont want to be offensive but rhiannas redesign feels off to me. like the fur on her left ear (our right) specifically is way too smooth. in her old design there was much more lines that portrayed separation and curls which looked much better in my opinion. this version looks more like she has marshmallow fluff on the side of her head. i also feel like her left ear (our right) fur is way less detailed than the fur on the rest of her body too its really jarring. just my honest feedback
wait you guys got it back on to web. YAY!
Yes! but keep in mind, the web version won't be reciving updates
Feel like im buggin ya but wanted to see how the update release was.
probably tonight! should be within 5 hours
Update, definetely not. thought we were just about ready, but we've hit some bugs. new target date is the 9th
Either way I get to play it on my free day
i hope the next update fixes the issue i had when i first discovered the game where i got confused by the characters appearing in the bar. there really needs to be an outline or something because when i first played i thought i was softlocks
Given that this is a "puzzle" game of sorts. At some point achieving an "unchanged" outcome has become impossible since there is no path to block barmaid_ode without someone getting transformed. I assume this is not fully intended, as every other "obligatory" transformation can be subverted in some way (as of date).
there should be a way! just make sure richter doesn't win challenge 4 or 5 and you should be set
Thanks. This has greatly helped me diagnosing an issue i had with a certain save-file. It seems like it was an older save. Though, through testing that event (challenge 4 in a new save (iterating)), richter still "wins" challenge 4 if "princess_akari" wins that event for some reason?
oh? must be a bug. i'll look into it.
Personally I usually go with the dragon girl on challenge girl
I’ve been following this game here (and on FA) for quite a while now but haven’t really played the game until recently. The game’s idea is really one of a kind, I really like some competitive tf. The characters are well designed too, everyone is uniquely recognizable. Anyways I just wanted to say I really appreciate this game and the creators behind! Looking forward to more game content.
Quick question are you going to delay this release like last time or should we expect it around the same time as before that?
can't say for sure, but we are aiming for release on the 4-5th!
Thank you
how the hell did odenval have a kid with his shrimpdick
she's cannonically adopted lol
that makes a lot of sense. i bet hes still a penile virgin
why am i being booed im right
the fact that you didn't quote the meme upsets me great
i tried to but english isnt my native language

no clue! we'll come up with something fun when the time arrives.

I was thinking about this when I realized the considerable number of Transformations focused on pregnancy; it will hardly be equitable if male characters are left out.
the male equivilent of the MILF forms will be DILF lol.
I don't think we'll add mpreg
One should never give up :b
Great game! Ooze slug tf is definitely my favourite transformation! As well as the preggo stuff :3
are we going to see new pregnant content on 0.31 ?
To all of those who keep asking for pregnant content please be pacient otherwise join their patreon
also pregnant is the only kink i don't like in this game so im glad that its not being updated
I also have said fetish but I also understand that every game doesn't need it. I am happy waiting until it comes out. It gives me a minor thing to look forward to during each update
if lewis can use his tail for hypnosis would it be possible for someone to use their ass to hypnotise? or better yet would it be hip-nosis?
You make a VERY solid argument for Reese or Lewis ass expansion.
Or both--
Maybe you can order Reese to do it to either Lewis or Him/Herself.
man this is gonna need a walkthrough
it does, and we have one LOL. you can download it in the same place you download the game itself :3
.........in my defence ive been using the webpage version
no worries! just keep in mind that the webpage version is no longer going to be updated!
what counts as a minor tf besides cg ae and be? muscle shortstack and fat have been mentioned but they use completely different sprites so its confusing.
anything that doesn't use a new base is considered a minor TF . muscle and fat gain used to be minor TFs in older versions, but we felt that not changing the posture did them a disservice
so does that mean since all three of those use a new base they are no longer minor and wont be combinable with other forms?
so those would be what we call "combo forms", which do happen alot, but not all the time. a good example would be spy + muscle growth rhianna, who uses a new base AND can have 2 stages of breast expansion on top of it. there's pretty much unlimited combinations, so we cant say all of them will get attention, but we hope to get all the important/common ones, like courtswaps and such.

not quite. i wouldn't say we've ranked combo forms in terms of the theme. its moreso about how often they come up in the same run together.
akarion gethra reese and maggie will certainly get some minor tfs by the end.
why does male trophy marazent start bald and get a mane with the mirror tf? shouldnt it be the other way around?
its cuz he's cross dressing
it's looking like the update wont release until tomorrow in my time zone so i will ask a question so i can get an answer and an update when i next check itch. will minor forms be getting hyper stages like be and cg? like hyper ass hyper muscle hyper weight etc? which ones will get hyper content?
I hope that it comes out some point today
depends on the character. I can confirm there won't be any more hyper cg
why no more hyper cg? demon marz could use it i think
it's just not something our writer is interested in
will the game get post release updates or free dlc for base game level ideas that didnt make the deadline?
we have no clue lol. that's something we would like to do if it's successful enough.
Dlc, or just additional side content for this game could be cool. I think a neat idea would be to have some shorter side stories of other characters (new ones, maybe even hold an auction for OCs to be added) being transported to the castle to do a quick challenge. Not equal to the main game's length, just like 3 oportunities for maybe 2-3 choices and a few endings.
Also, good luck on your finals!
Personally I would say have the dlc's as an epioluge for the major routes you can take like a 'the morning after' type deal. For example you see how everyone who is involved with maid path dealing with there lives now before the old memories fade away.
this sort of thing we will deffinetely do! and it gives us some more opportunities to feature guest characters :3
how close is 0.29 to releasing publicly and 0.30 to releasing on Patreon?
probably later today
we're probably still another day off. we're working very hard on it and will have it up as soon as possible!
will this affect the wait for the next update?
nah we'll be back on schedule next month. (aka I won't have any finals due LOL)
good luck on your finals
with the tavern and also back when imparagon was in development those graphics were sketches but put in before being finished. is there a reason you havent tried this with royal harem? you would be able to get more content out for people to see and polish it later the only downside would maybe just be annoying people who dont want to see sketches in a game thats work in progress for some reason
we have in the past! but it does take a few extra steps, (more work in the long run). for one, sketches can't use layered elements without specified rigging for them (expression overlays and minor transformations require pretty pixel exact measurements to be seamless). developing that sort of stuff for sketch artwork is possible, but most of the work has to be replaced when the assets are re-done.
the other aspect is the backgrounds. imparagon's clipping issues are less noticeable because the backdrops are primarily white, so you don't notice when there are errors in the fill layers. it would be more feasable is fall of royale harem's backdrops were also sketches, but the variety in tones and shades makes mistakes quite obvious.
in all likelyhood, we will do sketches again when we need to cover alot of ground, but will avoid using overlays for these reasons (for example, we might sketch out draconoclast muscle rhianna, but it won't come with BE or Melon minor tfs). the reception wasn't great the last time we did them, but we'll see.
a preview of forms without minor tfs would be fine i think. it just takes some imagination from the player to fill in the blanks but if it really pisses people off that much maybe you should have a warning on the option for that tf telling the player its an unfinished sketch and let them know in the patch notes
Will mirror transformations related to things like a predominantly male population, gender change, or some M/M aspect be added at some point? What we have so far seems purely focused on female transformations, and that's not fun when you're trying to have a predominantly male harem.
mmmm widespread femboys or muscle doms~~~ omegaverse made real for the poodalists would be fun~~~
Exactly, something like that would be fantastic, I like the way you think.
we hope to have an even distribution at the end of the project! but right now it's mostly decided by community votes and such, so we tend to play to the majority preference.
given that the end would be the hardest part to iterate (write) thanks to hundreds of different variations. (Ex: Full draconoclast/podalist collapse, maid plot, spy super-network, all trophy shelf, too many new races, etc.) Is it expected that "an" ending will take a while to be seen? Thanks.
it will probably be a good 4 more updates until we're ready to add some propper endings. we mainly want to make sure that mingle phase 5 is fully decked out with tons of winner driven transformations before we wrap things up!
Many thanks, I have an additional question: Is the expected format per character or per "end state"? I think it would be significantly harder to make 12 different "mini" endings for every significant character variation than a "x faction won/stalemate/lost" (I ask this mostly to know if it is a worthy endeavor to iterate anything other than absolute paths) Though, feel free to ignore this question, as it may be spoilers?
we plan to base our endings structure on how Fallout New Vegas does them. a lil collage with a glimpse of each impact made by the cast. maybe a few post credit scenes after that for specific scenarios for players to hunt down!
After the ending structure is implemented, do you plan to implement any unique endings for particular routes? As in, a unique one with a specific set of conditions (such as antagonizing everyone, only meddling with poodalist/draconoclast politics, doing absolutely nothing, etc?)
yep absolutely!
Do you plan to add a way for other characters to change what the dining hall becomes or will it only able to become the Tavern?
thusfar no, just richter. but maybe!
will mirror pool tfs affect the games endings?
very much so yes
Question, would be more things about Magnificent? Since i feel like it's more interesting doing her sons stuff than her's
yup! we'll get to her again soon!
Splendid!
Will you be planning to maybe add more stages? It's great as-is, but sometimes it feels like we don't have enough time for both getting to know the characters and have some transformative shenanigans.

Hypothetically the thirteenth character would be a Draconoclast. We've toyed with the idea of adding their army's general or a distant noble leader, but at this point in development it would be too hard to add someone brand new when we already have a fairly large cast
Eventually maybe someday as a character DLC 🤞😉
What did you just change?
we uploaded an older version to serve as our web playable substitute. it won't have all the features that the versions available in the downloads section do, but it's better than nothing!
You could use the web play version as a demo
Ok
I'm very glad that you adopted my suggestion.
the planning of dlc before the game is finalised is a little worrying. while some stuff is understandable hearing ideas like combos or small transformations being locked behind a paywall makes me a little uneasy. the paywall itself also concerns me because we don't know the base games price let alone the dlc. not trying to be rude i just want some transparency because the modern gaming market sucks dick.
we don't plan on doing any dlc, it's just an idea. we want to focus on the core content before branching out into other stuff. it's mainly a joke, but the idea is: if we section off areas of content like "twinning" or "innanimate TFs" and save those for potential DLCs, we can save ourselves a bit of work for now while still paying heed to everyone's requests.

we have no way of knowing that right now lol. it'll depend on how long it takes us to do and how much it costs us to publish.
also reasonable. you understand my concerns though yes?
In the web version, you can keep the old version to maintain its popularity
roughly a week/week in a haft till the next upgrade. get hyped everyone
