Looks like new phone messenger thing is now on the test server.

Page looks kind of like clicker did but lot more plain looking

Here is what info it gives

Looks like most responses use image.png.778ff18dd156804ca38a747594ccbfe2.png but I'm no sure if the recharge is working as intended yet as I do not see a timer and the + button just puts it back to 10 with no cost that I can see or is prompted. (Edit: Looks like this does work if you get it down to 0, and from that rest time it looks like 2 and a half hours-ist rest per point)

When a response use  image.png   it will have a picture in the reply and add to the album section as well a some reward(first one I got was 10 gems of all colors). These I do not see yet how you get more. (Edit: Looks like 25 for each 100th floor of Pantheon, 5 for the 5th chest of the daily goals, some amount can drop from Epic Pachinko will update when I get a few)

Does someone know from Clicker which influence different answers can have? Is it just a different text but the "story" is linear or has my decision a real influence, e.g. I need more answers to get a reward?

Hope whomever is in charge of adding all these timewasters is put on developing the other websites or something and just left this game alone.

From today patch notes this seems like both a yes and a no
Yes part from patch notes: "We would like to share some big news with you – we’re working on our very first mainstream NSFW project – Pornstar Harem. With a brand new Kinkoid-style story, familiar design, and an exciting twist- collecting real-life pornstars! We’re beyond excited to be working on this project"

No part from patch notes: "Hentai Heroes will always be our number one priority. Regardless of how many new projects we launch and what new areas we decide to explore, we will always be dedicated to improving Hentai Heroes and delivering you satisfaction in the Haremverse. Hentai Heroes come first"

From what I could tell it could get you to the image in less responses.

10800 seconds, aka 3 hours

I wounder if there actively adjusting that number. if it was set to 3 hours at the time of my snapshot the rest time should have been more like 1d 5h 33m since 10 fresh would be 1d 6h with 0/10 and I was working on the write up so that where my 33m came from.

In HCL some replies gave more points than others (and they were typically in bold), but this is a completely different system. This seems to confirm my expectation that the core idea and probably a fair bit of content comes from the scrapped Haremverse dating sim instead.

And yeah, 10 Replies per 24 hours, and Frames don't seem to be purchasable or to have a natural regen. The tutorial mentions we'll be able to collect some in various parts of the game, but I haven't noticed them yet on TS (but since my test account is largely inactive and super low level, doesn't mean they're not there somewhere). Seems like a fairly slow process.

I got as far as completing Bunny's (first?) dialogue series and unlocking the next girl's and getting a couple of her pics. Every pic's reward was 10 rainbow gems.

The interface mimics a typical smartphone basic text page, but a white background isn't very exciting. I wouldn't want anything too flashy either, but something like sepia or grey or whatever easier on the eyes color would be nice.

The Albums/Galleries only include the exclusive pics unlocked within the new feature itself, unfortunately. I had hopes that it would link to the Harem and allow you to create your own Favorite Albums out of all the pics in there as well. Maybe in the future.

All in all, it's a decent bonus feature without a major impact on the rest of the game, which is a good thing, and some nice potential. It should be pretty harmless and easy to ignore for those not into it, and those who decide to play it will get extra pics of the classic harem girls, along with a bit of freebies.

I appreciate the selfies and gems but I don't care much about the conversation. I really don't want to collect another resource to compete. Please don't add this resource to another contest/feature requirements. We have lives and jobs, we can't afford to play this game full time.

There are two simple changes that I wish KK would address immediately. First, replace the white background. I run everything in dark mode. The bright white background burns my eyes. It's a shock to go from the rest of the game to this. Second, get rid of the response delay. I understand that they want to simulate a person typing the replies but it is annoying especially we are in a hurry. They can give us a setting or a button to see reply immediately like other games.

Now you mention it: does anyone else experience some rather bad headaches from clicking through Villain battles? It seems theres a white frame between skip refreshes and especially during big Villain battles its like a damn stroboscope. I dont have epilepsy, but this game sometimes makes me feel like it. I forget to make a point about it every time.

Well, while you wait for KK to add a dark mode (you might be waiting a while), a dark mode has been added in HH++ v1.14.0

I did experience something similar for several days. The game was sluggish. I asked around in my club and no one had the same issue. So, I rebooted my computer and it is fine now. It might have been due to memory usage with the browser.

It was exactly as I thought. The only thing I didn't thought about was gems. An extra amount of gems everyday is something in the long time - 10 days 100 gems *is* something, so everyone should play it.

The *very* good thing is the total lack of competition. You can click click click get the rewards and that's everything. I dunno if that's a good commercial move on their side, as I don't feel the urge of purchasing anything about. Frames can probably drop from PoP instead of rare items, that will be a fair implementation (having them drop as a prize for contests or PoV will be unfair).

I don't have anything against extra currencies, as long the timing of use isn't crucial - I don't think anyone here try to compute devotion in advance.

What's left to know is how you do unlock new girls: maybe you have to pay something and that will explain this "gift".

The *bad* thing: it break my suspension of belief. I mean,I have my own metanarrative of characters. Now I found that Bunny actual behaviour is different. And they talk about stuff I solved one year ago (the harem location) or the meeting with Juliette. Not speaking it can create paradoxes, like messaging with girls when... well... you know, what happen after Juy Sea portal...

To me, the overall feature is a 6/10 *so far*.

No, it's already known: it's all linear. Once you complete Bunny's dialogue, it unlocks the next girl, and so on. I think it's even mentioned in the tutorial. At any rate, I can confirm it works that way on TS right now. So there's no choice involved either, it's all railroads and smooth sailing as long as you have the new resources.

It mostly doesn't get to headache for me, but I've noticed this for a long time.
Although I've always felt like it was a black frame causing this while switching from the animation to the result screen by hitting Skip. Maybe just my visual system being fooled.

Noticed it on both desktop browsers and mobile.

As i said previously i like this idea (i'm not on TS so i'm talking while i'm reading the blog post). It is very good that is basically more side quests: basically we get more gems (not a lot but surely useful thing) and some more pics (aren't we here for that mostly ? XD). 

The only thing that bothers me here is this (and here i ping @DvDivXXX to answer him about frames): "Frames are used to unlock exclusive images and can be obtained from the last chest in Daily Goals, in Epic and Great Pachinko, and from the Pantheon’s Stairway (every 100 levels). A picture costs 10 Frame currencies."

I really have to hope that Pantheon is retroactive (but it will be, i mean how silly would be if is not) and i'm ok with them in the last chest. I have a problem with pachinko: they really have to be a plus and not take the place of other rewards otherwise that (and only for that) is pretty bad imo. if i get in epic: girl (.... i can't even remember my last Ep drop XD)/gift + gems + frames is cool and i'm super happy. If is going to be: girl/frames/gifts + gems... well... i have a bit of a problem because i like the gifts (always need them)....

Btw a link to the blog post: https://blog.kinkoid.com/features/harem-chat-2/

Cheers mates!!!!

Can you actually get them from there? Because I see no frames anywhere...

Sorry I'm not on the test server so i can't answer your question, that is just what is written in the blog about the new feature 🙂.

Probably when it will go live on the global server it will be corrected if they are not there yet. 

But again i play only here so... Maybe someone else can give you a better answer 🙂

Thanks for bringing my attention to the blog post, @Xemnas. I had completely missed it for some reason. ^^

No, they haven't been added on TS as of this writing. Not in Epic or Great Pachinko, not in the last chest of Daily Goals and not in Pantheon either. I guess they just forgot (this will limit our testing abilities pretty quick, and also I'd like to see them on TS first to be sure they're ADDED and not replacing any existing reward).

So as of now, this is just the plan, but we can't test it yet. We might have to evaluate that part directly on the main servers depending when this goes live.

Did you guys also run into an issue where the system kinda blocks itself if you click the wrong thing? Like after getting an image in the conversation, when I clicked on the image I couldn't claim the gems or select a reply below, the image wouldn't enlarge and I'd have to go back to home screen and back to phone app to do anything
