VN Ren'Py Bound by Night [Ch.16 Part2] [BoundByNight]

[againsthaters]

Well, well say so ...
The more it goes, the more impressive all this work becomes. - there is practically everything: from action, investigation, sci-fi, drama, sensitivity, sensuality, romanticism, passion, from the most sensual and tender sex to hardcore, etc, etc ... (it is very rare that he has so many universes united in a game where there is sex, especially since here it is a gay game - definitely only gays -above all homosexuals- manage to remain serious, respectable and responsible, especially on games)
Defenitively, I really love your work my young friend.
Take good care of yourself.
I leave you a sweet kiss.
LOVES

(PS: And again I'm not talking about the image quality ... - that goes without saying, it's an exceptional job)

On the werewolf model discussion above, I forget who said it, whether it was here or on another forum, but someone had said something about making a note that the shifting sequence in...

Also, while I may continue to tweak the new model, here are a couple of images. One is of the partial shift (shot from within the story) and the other is a concept shot of the fully shifted version:

As always guys, thanks for the constructive feedback. I hope this helps address some of it.

This is defo a direction I can get behind! Is he gonna keep his blue eyes or will the colour change? I´m quite fond of them

Generally, all supernatural creatures can all get a glow in their eyes when they're excited/agitated, but for werewolves the color will always remain roughly the same (blue is blue, hazel is hazel, brown is brown, etc). In contrast, vampires will get a red glow. So, yes, Connor's eyes will stay the same color. There may be a change between the texture his human form and fully-shifted form (I'm still testing that) but they will remain blue.

Hi all. Just a quick update here on the development and release schedule.

I've been running into some real challenges on the images for Chapter 10, so I'm going to release Chapter 9 to Early Access this month, then Chapter 10 will follow in July. This will be for the Early Access period for patrons, with a public release 30 days after that.

Thanks for your patience and support while I've worked through this update.

Well...

Welcome to the family ...?

It seems to be the gay version of Twilight with Bella as a doctor student.
It's a well done game anyway. And i fall in love with Dr Ricci...
I just wanna ask... the italian words in the dialogues are an error in the translation or are intentional???

LOL. Not intentional. Rather a bit rough from a reliance on phrase books and Google translate. Fortunately, a native speaker of Italian gave me some feedback and so they'll be largely updated/corrected when the first part of Build 0.6 comes out.

Beh, se lo rilasci anche in italiano apprezzerei parecchio...

I'd love it to be available in other languages but sadly I am a very stereotypical American on that front. The little bit of French I learned in high school has long faded. However, a fan has been working on a Spanish translation. If someone were interested/able, I'd make the script available for translation to other languages, too.

I would forgive Roland and take him back. His scene was hot! I can't decide who I like the most. Connor is adorable, but I really like Dr. Santini as well.

I love seeing the different reactions the characters inspire in people. Thanks for posting!

 

[againsthaters]

Definitely, I'm really completely in love with this game-novel ... - between Alex, Connor and Ronan ... They are absolutely gorgeous guys. (whatever, practically all the others are very cute too ...)
The choice is far too hard ... - but Connor is still my favorite. (in addition he looks a bit like my husband, in real life ...)
Tell me, are you becoming a perfectionist ...? - then there were many very big changes. (I reassure you, it's in the right direction)
Your work even becomes extremely surprising, it no longer has any relation to what it was at the beginning.
Any atmosphere (the background of the story), all these themes and feelings that are there, are all very surprisingly well merged. - nobody can say the opposite, your passion / your heart is there one hundred percent for sure.
Take good care of you young mate.
LOVES

This is one of the most interesting VNs I've played in quite a while. Can't really remember the last one that had me intrigued enough not to skip through the dialogue to get to the sex scenes.
Really good work! Looking forward to what happens next.

Thanks! That's really nice to hear. It's definitely my goal!

Just speaking for myself, I figured if I wanted porn, I could easily get that on pornhub or other sites. That's why I call BBN an erotic VN (rather than 'pornographic') but my goal is to have both a story and sex scenes that are interesting/exciting.

And you are doing really fine job! There are several splendid dialogues and good psychological moments. Only one thing, somebody probably already mentioned it, I have the feeling that the face of MC is less "developed" and interesting than the other guys. It can be always justified by his young age, anyway I would voted for certain light remake if possible. But I love your game all the same, thank you so much!

It's a bit intentional, TBH. I want the reader/player to be a little more comfortable seeing themselves in Alex's role so he's a bit more of a blank slate. Broad strokes are there to set the stage but past that I want there to be some flexibility.
