VN Ren'Py Bound by Night [v0.15a] [BoundByNight]

[againsthaters]

Before I forget again ...
I think you may have recognized my man's name ...? - then it made yesterday a month that with my husband, we decided to give you a gift on your Patreon ... (if you know what I'm talking about, then he also liked your work a lot, even if he has nothing to do with the virtual world - his field is finance, but he watched me play it, and then wanted to play it himself)

 

[againsthaters]

I make a separate message, then I talk about something completely different ...
Is it you who posted your game-novel on "porngameshub" ...? - if so, you should be more careful, then this is a very dangerous site.
Here is the direct link to your game-novel on the site:

Oh, thank you and your husband! I’m not getting the reference now but if he reaches out via PM on Patreon or Discord I’ll be sure to thank him myself.

On that other site, no, that’s not me. Honestly, I didn’t even start thisthread here on F95, though they’ve been nice enough to let me maintain and update it. Between this, Itch, Patreon and Discord, I’ve got my hands full.

So glad you both are enjoying it though. Work on 0.5 is underway with it about half written and some of the first images already rendering.

Got to say, I'm kind of impressed. The game actually has a decent story. Don't get me wrong, the smut is good too. But the story seems decently done which is a rarity.

Though I have to say, I was hoping for the werewolf form to look a bit hotter

Hey Nym. Thanks for the feedback and support!

Give the werewolf form a little time. There are two different morphs I’m working with and the one you saw

was only a partial shift. I’m working on chapter 10 now and I think you’ll be pleased.

 

[againsthaters]

Definitely, with "Summer Vacation" are among the best game-novels that I have played / that I have known. - with the young Erwin (the creator of this other game-novel) you make me proud to be part of the old gamer generation and also gay.

Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this such intense pleasure.

You really do honor to our small community, which despite everything remains as strong and united.

 

[BoundByNight]

John, as always, thanks for the kind words!

Also, for everyone, I wanted to give a quick update on how things are progressing. My apologies if you already follow the development on Itch or Patreon, as this is largely a repeat of that information. But since not everyone is on those platforms, I wanted to make an update here too.

The big news at this point is the first draft of the script for the next update is now complete, coming in at more than 1700 lines of dialogue and menu choices. This update will take place over Chapters 9 and 10 and will be comparable in scope to Build 0.4. There will be one explicit scene in the update, but with five ways to resolve it, each of which will have an impact on character relationships. This update is also going to be leaning back into Dom/sub relationships and will also include a small S&M erotic sequence in Chapter 10. With the script done, I'm now switching most of my attention over to working on the renders/images for this update.

In the meantime, Build 0.4 will be releasing to the public in a couple weeks (on or about June 3).

 

[BoundByNight]

Hi all. I wanted to share some images with you that are going to be part of the 0.4b update releasing to the public in early June.

Specifically, Chapter 1 has been completely redone and some flashback sequences have been added to Chapter 2. The quality of the art has (I think) progressed significantly since when I started this project, and I felt the opening chapter deserved a little TLC.

Hope you enjoy!

 

[BoundByNight]

In addition to the entirely new content in Chapters 7 and 8, new images for chapter 1, flashback images added in Chapter 2, and a host of other improvements, when Build 0.4b comes out next week I will also be including a build for Android-devices!

Been getting a lot of requests for this and am glad it's finally happening.

 

[BoundByNight]

A few days early, Build 0.4b is now available to the public. Links on the OP have been updated.

This was a huge update that more than doubled the size of the game compared to Build 0.3. In addition to the new content in Chapters 7 and 8, it also includes completely new images for Chapter 1, flashback sequences in Chapter 2, and new audio content.

Hey there,

the game is shaping up nicely. I enjoy that it keeps a good balance between telling a story and providing naughty scenes for our enjoyment. Also got to say that the various romance interests are all interesting in their own way and seem to have a lot of substance beyond mere looks.

Being a big bad wolf myself I am pretty much team Jacob by default. I enjoy our woof in his human shape a lot. Easy on the eyes and that damn mix of 'good boy' and 'wild beast'. However, I hope the shifted form is still a work in progress. Sorry to say, but that looked more like an ape man than anything werewolf related.
However, given how the previous chapters have improved over time, I have high hopes that the same will hold true for our wolfman.

Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing this visual novel with us!

Kind regards,

Blaidd

Blaidd, thanks for trying it and I’m glad you liked it! Have no fear on the werewolf! Two notes:

As a total aside, I’m amused by the folks offering a facepalm reaction on the OP are either homophobes or not as straight as they think they are for stopping to read and react to a game explicitly tagged as gay.

don't bother with this, there are idiots everywhere...

I'm not sure, but I think I'm not the only one who warned you from the start that this kind of thing could happen, and that you shouldn't pay attention to them ...
Otherwise, speaking of something else ...
I am always so pleasantly surprised at the evolution, this addition of background story about their lives and certain relationships will have made them even more interesting in several ways. It even makes them in a certain sense even more charming. (it gives them more character)
The story in general is really becoming very influenced by all these series and movies in the genre of "Supernatural", "True Blood", etc ... - I'm very passionate about this stuff.
Definitely, I really love your job. Moreover, I could see that you made a very good choice concerning your contributors / traveling companions in this exceptional work.

Take good care of you.
I leave you a big hug.
LOVES
John

Hmm.. I see proper grammar, spelling, punctuation. Might be worth supporting!
Thanks for sharing.

I wish I could Heart and Laugh react to this at the same time. In full disclosure, I owe some thanks to a couple of my patrons/supporters with some proof-reading (and they get proper acknowledgment in the credits, too)! I won't promise it's perfect but I'm trying!

Haha. As long as I don't see overly-used emoji's (which have no place in a visual novel) and at least SOME attempt at proper spelling (I try not to 'fred' when people use the word 'thou' to mean 'though' - that little joke is only relevant if you've played 'Just Bros')

Well, I'll play a bit of it and tell you what I think! I'm sure it will be great, 'thou'...;P

Thanks. I hope you like it. And, if not, that happens too. And any constructive criticism is welcome. This is my first project and I'm learning more with each update and trying to periodically go back and improve previous chapters.

So definitely enjoying this VN more and more! I'm currently in the process of moving to HK (Just a few weeks left in Germany!) and I definitely have a thing for hot Asians, male and female.

One of the things that stand out is that there aren't any character sprites near the text, which means no idiotic positions for the characters to be in. I don't mind some facial expression, but it's sorta off-putting to see a sprite suddenly put up their fists in a boxing position when they express protectiveness or concern, or some female who doesn't want to be in a bound position suddenly grab her own tits. I always ask myself, 'If she's struggling to get out of shibari, why is she rubbing her tits? It definitely gives mixed signals!' those are the VN's I usually role my eyes at and turn off, lol.
