June SS Reward - Bountiful Harvest 0.4
Well you've all been patiently waiting and it is finally here! The latest update to Bountiful Harvest! It's been a full year since the release of 0.3, and while that was a whopper version 0.4 is putting it in its place.
UPDATE:
We've made a new version with some updates to address some minor bugs. You can use the new links below or download from the attachments.
0.4.5 Quick fix:
Finding a trinket video was not playing, it has been restored
Using a potion/fruit and then not consuming anything the following day will no longer cause the item to be reapplied
Various spelling errors have been fixed
0.4.5 Updated Download links: PC | Mac | Android
What started with a fan favourite getting her time in the sun, expanded out to a new city, a new host of characters and a new weaving questline that brings a new style of gameplay into the Bountiful Harvest world.
Key Updates
A new City - Erdenvale, full of fully animated interactive maps!
5 new maps to explore, leading to 8 new zones
A new minigame, inspired by an old classic
14 new characters to meet, from the highs to the lows of society.
13 new music tracks and a bundle of sound fx
A new “powerup” system - scan minds and assume new forms!
A new inventory and items to discover, each one will have a use to solving the puzzle.
Totally reworked the outskirts to make room for the path to Erdenvale
Hundreds of new lines of dialogue
Reworking of meeting Luca to accommodate both new playthroughs and loading from 0.3 saves.
Remixed music throughout the game for consistency
Graphics and UI improvements
Bug Reporting
As always, we've given this version as much testing as we can within our timeframe, but given the size there are very possibly things that will go astray. As such, Lady Grove has built a form that lets you add lots of detail and even screen caps of any issues:

Coming in Version 1.0
As we mentioned a bit earlier, this update has been broken into two parts, one containing the big new zones and characters, and the other letting Belle loose in it, along with a slew of polishing to get us to a 1.0 standard. Coming up in July is:
Belle in Erdenvale proper, with potions and interactions for the townsfolk there
New transformation animations
Additional character emotion sprites
Total game UI overhaul for visual consistency
Polish between zones and actions
And more!
We'll have more details as we progress, but for now - a massive thanks to everyone who supported us in June! I hope being able to sit down with the new parts of the game will bring you some joy, as it has been incredibly fun to make it all, long hours and all.
For those of a less gamic persuasion, stick around for August, where we'll be 'expanding' our collection of standalone animation with a new one designed to surprise and delight (though perhaps not in that order).
We'll get a patch for any game breaking problems ASAP, but in the meantime the midnight workdays have caught up with me, so I am off to the land of Nod. Catch you all soon!

So I got all 16 Spheres. How do I get the Secret Ending? - A Hint would be nice
We'll DM you so we don't spoil others fun.
I'm stuck with the hot springs guy. Trying to figure out how to get him swim shorts. I think he's my last sphere (15/16).
Played through the whole game, was a lot of fun! Had a couple of bugs pop up on the swimmer in the hot springs, some script error, I just kept clicking ignore and the game carried on. This was on Android. Oh and be sure to save often because I had the game black out on me a couple of times!
I believe all the Te'rut bugs were fixed in 0.4.5 if you were playing that version and still getting bugs I'd really appreciate some extra info so we can look into it for 1.0 https://link.begrove.com/bugreports
hey im loving the game, but i am stuck on the last mechanical piece, could you DM me a clue, im thinking something with the knife?
Great update! I can't figure out where the workshop is to assembly the machine fragments.
Glad you are enjoying the update. Luca's workshop is in the slums of Erdenvale, talk to Lady Patricia when you have all 6.
Great update. Would have loved some belly inflation/expansion. Would love to see that and hope that is planned for future updates :D
i could use a hint on how to free our boy Willian
We'll DM you a hint.
quick question, what is the cloth used for? Im basicly at the end of the game and didnt find any use.
The cloth is part of Adelaide's story, she'll ask you for it when she needs it. If you need a more specific hint I can DM you.
On my end, it keeps saying Belle grew over night regardless of whether or I actually have her eat anything.
That has been corrected in the quick fix we did 0.4.5. Sorry to make it stop you'll need to redownload the game.
I've been away for a while but I love Bountiful Harvest and the list of updates sounds incredible. Can't wait to check it out and thanks for the work!
Welcome back!
Super late to this but I finally got my finances in order to support for good! One, thanks for being super awesome! I've been keeping up with your content catch up emails and I'm always excited to see what's been going on. 2nd, I saw August and 1.0. Does this mean the 1.0 will be out in August?! Either way, I LOVE Bountiful Harvest and the way it was in 3.0, so I don't mind waiting for 1.0 because I know it'll be amazing! Kind of like both of you! 🙂 Have an amazing day!
Welcome, welcome! BH1.0 is the July reward, but in August there will be a standalone animation for patrons to enjoy 😎 so much expansion goodness on our to do lists here!
NGL the update feels disconected from the main game. At least for me the big drive of bountiful harvest was the ability to customize the size of your character and to see a gradual growth through animations, things that didn't change in this update. I can see where you are going and what could be done in 1.0, but unless the mechanics get more in line with the main game I don't think this new quest will end up being a worthy addition. PD: and of course the feature that I would priorize would be to increase the max size of belle, but it is understandable that this has technical issues PD2: I am a big fan of the outfits in the whole game, particularly Luca's current one
Can't the female lead's figure continue to grow? I like my breasts to become bigger.
What potion works for Te’rut? I’ve tried all but boobs, butt and tall
We'll DM you a hint.
Couple of things. How to get the “heat up” the guy needs at the springs? And what does Tamala need? She doesn’t need any potions unless I’m missing something. Also who does the cloth go to?
Will DM you about these too.
I’m trying to figure out how to get the last piece of the machine that she needs I have 5/6 i’ve been to every location and talk to every NPC.
I'll shoot you a DM about it.
Okay, I'm a little late to the party but of course I made you to go through this game for the third time in my but I have ran into a bug on Android. When I try to work the fields to get a seed, the screen just flicks black real fast and it doesn't even give me the seed
In this instance you are getting trinkets rather than seeds, the video just isn't playing.
Just FYI (in the mobile version at least) there's seems to be a bug where when you get the trinket it auto skips the animation
Thanks, the fix for that will be in the next release.
Fantastic! Fun addition, nice little point-and-click, nice transformations. Again, the highlight for me continues to be your fantastic humor. I gotta mention some of my faves in a non-spoilery format: The Moat They did give me the name ~ Yes, I know your catchphrase Hospital bill The wyvern was a surprise
This is an impressive add on to the game! The web of scanning and quests to find all the machine parts is a lot of fun. The mini game is pretty entertaining and adds the right level of friction while navigating the world. I can’t wait to see how the 1.0 ties everything together!
That's so lovely, thank you. Really glad you to hear the new mini game being well received.
Super fun update! But I’m a little stumped… how do I get the perfume?
You can buy it in the merchant's district 💰
cool update. Can't seem to scan the little goblin fella.
Thank you! We'll DM you so we can figure out what's up with Kettleswat.
Nice Work. Music, Sounds ... But what to do to go to erdenvale?
The road to Erdenvale lies through the forest, beyond Beline the Guard.
Love your work! Do you happen to have download capabilities for iPad/iOS devices ?
Search ren’py on App Store and you should find a few apps that allow you to play the windows version of the game
Sorry. My question is worded wrong. I meant to ask if the exsiting animations for belle and other characters that we saw up to 0.3 version. If those are going to receive alterations and or polish for the 1.0 version. If that's the case I may wait for 1.0 version of the game. Thank you. I don't why I worded that so poorly before.
Im trying combinations but I do not seem to be able to get the armor and cant really work out how to deal with panko? What could I have missed?
you have to be Diane when talking to Panko. do you know how to get the perfume?
So much fun to play. Really love the work you've put into this game can't wait to see where it goes from here. Im hoping something Trish related but that's just me. Keep up great work
Thank you for all your hard work! You're a gift to the community!
That was actually a lot of fun. No bugs and it ran smoothly. I envy the people who get to play this game for the first time when its complete later this month. But i can't wait to roam the city in that final version. And i really appreciate the road map and transparency you've kept up with, for us. With the plan going forward into August with an OG animation, when will the next Trish ending be done?
Me too! So glad to hear it ran smoothly, that's music to our ears. We'll do another ending from The Pill before the end of the year.
I am at 15 Spheres, idk what one I could be missing, does Luca have one?
No new spheres were added in 0.4 so all the spheres can be found in Glenshire. We'll DM you some hints.
Gotta be honest here, great update again, I've yet to see you fail at these and am k ethics. I wish I had the kind of time and dedication to make games like you do.... It is very inspiring! Keep it up good sir!
Thanks DragoonGTS we're very fortunate that we get to do this full time and glad people are enjoying the update.
Another great update to the game, and with more to come! Keep up the awesome work.
Delighted to hear you enjoyed the game. There is definitely more to come, we better get to work!
I keep hitting that button. I'm just asking because I'm trying to figure out if I want to play 0.4 now or be patient and wait for 1.0. I have start a new game regardless. So I'm just wondering
I was able to load my old save from ver 0.3
So in 1.0, the 'new transformation animations' will those be applied to belle and her shenanigans that happend up to 3.0?
Just... amazing. Can't wait for the next version in a few weeks
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed the update.
Tried the new update. Absolutely love it!! Love the new transformation for Luca. And I can't wait for the next update and see Belle roam thru the new city.
Its been fun to hang out with Luca again for this update. Glad you enjoyed the update.
I love my veggies!
Eating her greens works out nicely for Belle 😉
Oh nooooo. Guess I'll just have to start from the beginning and go through the game again. Oh no. 😉
Oh nooooooo 😉
Helllllll yeah! Ya’ll rock for the work you put into these games. Hands down this is the best macrophilia content on there. Thanks for all you do, too excited for this one!!!
Thanks Riley, enjoy the update.
Love seeing your new work and updates to old things you've made. I do wonder sometimes how long it takes you to make the posts to tell people what's been done though,hehe. Looks like it would take a day in itself for links and descriptions. ^^
It does take time but its worth doing properly. Hopefully everyone goes into the game knowing what to expect, especially this month when we're splitting the release across 2 months. Have fun playing!
Been amazing to see the work and progress into Bountiful Harvest game. Yall are really pushing the envelope when it comes to BE games (and content as a whole). Super excited to get into this update.
Have fun and thanks dants, that means a lot.
