Haven's Port: Build 8 - Public Release
Added 2021-06-03 01:52:41 +0000 UTCAlright! With the release of Build 9 for my $5+ Patrons early this morning, it's also time to release the previous Build to the public! I didn't do so immediately, only because I am now releasing a compressed version option and needed to get said compressed version uploaded and such everywhere. The compressed version uses WEBP images, which are fairly lossless, and will be avaialble in both download AND online. I strongly recommend the compressed online version if you have a lower speed connection or are on mobile! There is a single caveat to that, however, in that Safari users will not be able to use it, as that browser does not support WEBP. Sorry! That's partially why I'm still providing an online version using the original PNG renders!
As for what is actually in the build, it focuses on adding two new areas, the Brothel and the Market for the Main Island, as well as allowing you to actually tier up your reputation and make it to the Main Island, of course (See the Release Notes for a Hint about how to unlock the reputation tier up). The Brothel in particular has a LOT to do, as it also contains the Public Baths, which are maintained by the Order of the Rose. See release notes for a more complete look at what's new!

Haven't Port Build 8 Release Notes
Build 8 introduces the Main Island of the Haven Island Chain. Per Patron Voting, I went for depth of content for each new location rather than number of areas. As such, the 17 new scenes contained in the build are focused on just two areas, The Rose Brothel and The Market, with the vast majority of scenes being for The Rose Brothel.
New Reputation Level! Citizen: If you meet the fame requirements...as well as other requirements (Hint: Mother Gloria and Captain Temlin want you to have mastered their jobs. Raise your skill at being a pirate or do all of Mother Gloria's training), you can now become an actual Citizen of the Haven Islands. In the future, this will unlock a lot of content, just as becoming a Resident does. For now, this allows you access to the next island in the chain (the Main Island) via a Ferry.
New Location! The Rose Brothel: The Rose Brothel is the Headquarters of the Order of the Rose in the Haven Islands. As such, there's a lot to do! You can visit the Public Baths and encounter other bathers there. You can be trained for more advanced work as a Rosegirl. And even pay for some premium sessions with Rose Brothel specialists! This area also contains quite a few new NPCs, all of which will be getting considerable development going forward.
New location! The Market: The largest of several Markets on the Main Island, there will be quite a bit to do here going forward. For now, visit the market and find work....with pay bonus for those willing to use their 'talents' to make more sales!
-Known Issues-
-Credits: GRRRRRRRRRR, I forgot to update the credits again. I'll update at least the web release later to fix this.
- All the new NPCs are supposed to have chat options to get to know them better. Sadly, I ran out of time. Expect that to be a major addition to Build 9.
