Haven's Port (Build 15) - $5 Patron Release
🕑 Added 2022-05-31 12:34:59 +0000 UTCUpdate: All downloads have been updated to include the Build 15.2 fixes.
*Slightly less important update* A number of additional bugs were found, mostly centered around heavy cheat use to rush through the game. I've attached a new set of HTML files (which include the fixes from the others), as Build 15.2. Honestly, if you're not HEAVILY using cheats, you probably won't need it. And it won't fix a game already broken anyway do to the nature of what caused the issue. I will be updating the download packages eventually, but I'm currently waiting for any more bug reports before doing so.
*IMPORTANT UPDATE* There was a MAJOR issue where I forgot to change the build number for new games. This won't affect you if you used an old save and used the update save function, ironically. But for anyone playing a new game it could cause some very strange and hard-to-track issues. I've replaced all the downloads and corrected the online version HTML file. However, if you've already downloaded a copy, there's no need to download the whole thing again. I'm attaching a pair of zip files with replacement Haven's Port.html files that will fix the issue (at least for new games). You can simply replace your Haven's Port.html file with the new one, rather than downloading everything again. Do make sure you grab the right version (Full or Compressed) for your download. Sorry folks. And special thanks to George Lever for clueing me in something weird was going on.
Oh ho! What's this! A game release that not only isn't late...but is actually the morning of the final day of the month instead of like 11:59pm?! The world may never be the same! Or, so it feels like. Has it really only been 4 delayed releases? I think the first delayed one was January...so I guess so? It feels like it's been so much longer, probably because of how frustrated and stressed I get when I have to delay a release...
ANYWAY! I did the thing. Where all the stuff is released on time, Hard Reset accomplished! The only still undone bit is the Walkthrough. And I'll probably even manage that before midnight tonight. So, 100% completion unless something goes wrong with the uploads or the guide or something. Yay. Hopefully, this will mean I can stay on top of things going forward.
Now, as to the release itself. It is slightly smaller than a usual Haven's Port release. But only sort of. The scene count, coming in at only 14 new scenes, is a little low. My normal target is a minimum of 15 scenes with an ideal goal being as close to 20 as possible. However, in this case, scene count very much isn't the whole story. Because I was focused on wrapping up major content threads for the Main Island, six of those scenes are Dates, which are longer and more involved than regular scenes. Likewise, two of them are new Arena fights and aftermath, which are about the same size as a date.
That means that the total render count for the build was 91 new renders. Which is...actually about average. Normal scenes average 3-5 renders only, so even at a max of 5x20, an 'ideal' 20 scene build would only be about 100 renders. Net result? Scene counts are a terrible way to judge build size, but all other ways are also kinda terrible too. I'd guesstimate the total content to actually be about average for a Haven's Port build. I could just be justifying that to make myself feel better. But I don't think so. Either way, I'm reasonably happy with the build personally, so hopefully everyone likes it. I'll...stop rambling now.

Web Build NOTE: Unless you're using Safari, I highly recommend the compressed version. It's WEBP not JPG, so there's no real quality loss and it will load a lot smoother with less bandwidth use. Safari users...Apple are giant dicks and won't add native support for WEBP despite it being adopted by literally every other other major browser. So if you absolutely can't bring yourself to use another browser, you're stuck with the Full version. It's basically uploaded just for you guys.

Build 15 release notes
Build 15 focuses on rounding out content for both the Port and Main Island. It includes several new dates, as well as adding some more lesbian-oriented content to the early game. In this build are:
-3 New Dates for Fiona
-3 New Dates for Louie
-2 New Arena Matches (and hookup options afterward with your opponents)
-3 New Options for the Early-Game Glory hole (All Lesbian)
-1 New Lesbian variant for the Jolly Rodger Job (Menu+ Shift)
- 2 Chastity Enabled Events on the Port Island
- Added a 'bypass' option to Captain Temlin's scene when you first become a resident, allowing you to skip having sex with her if that's not something you want. This was always supposed to be an option, as far as I remember, but apparently I never implemented it? Not sure what happened there, but someone alerted me to it.
-Added a hint of sorts for the Order of the Rose Faction content. Once you meet the requirements, the Brothel Mistress will stop you the next time you visit her, alerting you that you should come to speak with her if you want to fully join the order.
-Many, many bug fixes. A lot of them in the early game, a few more regarding passing time during arena events.

Doh. That's what I get for posting when I'm barely awake I guess. Thanks for pointing it out. I added release notes.
