New Main Menu + GUI Redesign Showcase

Hey everyone!
Here’s a first look at the redesigned main menu and finalized GUI for Babysitters / Burning Boundaries!

You must be registered to see the links

This video was captured directly via OBS, so what you see is exactly how it runs in-game — smooth transitions, custom fonts, themed hover effects, and atmospheric background video/audio included.
You’ll notice:

• A fully reworked main menu layout with immersive atmosphere
• Updated fonts, buttons, and hover/click effects
• Custom main menu theme song tied to videos transitions
• Live preview of dynamic image maps and screen transitions

I’ve put a lot of love into making the interface match the tone of the story — sleek, a little seductive, and highly interactive.
Let me know what you think or if you spot anything that could be improved before public release!
As always, thanks for your support ❤

Don’t really like the name Boundaries, maybe “Burning Bridges” since that’s what every character is doing from Lara turning down Tony
and not getting the promotion and ratings for a better time slot and show and missing out on parties and first class trips
to Erica, if she gets caught messing around with mc, by Lara she could be fired and black listed from baby sitting, also if Angellica gets caught having sex with mc, then it’s divorce time and she probly disowns her daughter

This is the one truth about this game.
If you avoid the "Tony" option, there is not much left to get "excited" about, and what is left, doesn't really deliver on its promise.

The dev has sunk his wallet into the NTR path, and left the small change on the footpath of beggars. (Yes its a "for sale" allegory)

Even though, if he had actually gone through with expanding the non-ntr paths into what it could/should have been, this game would be great. The big sin is all the times that the NTR path bleeds over into the other paths, with no plausible alternate scenarios.

As it is, its just another NTR trope filled blah.....by a dev who found dollars and AI mid-stream.
Now we suffer yet another remake.

But, obviously, this is a financial success, with property aimed squarely at Steam, so, congrats dev, credit where credit is due.
I look forward to your next endeavour, with all the talents you have displayed here, in the hope that you don't fuck up the story halfway through again, and actually stick with what you start off with.

For first part I disagree,from I understand ntr path are only Edd and Tony.In opposite the harem path mc have practically sex with every woman in the game (not Sasha and the doc yet).So logically more stuff in the mc path.

Ok, if that's your take, but as I remember, NTR path also includes Tyrone/Lara and Tyrone/Angelica

And in the non-ntr paths, MC can still be a cucky wimpy sub, with the girls still looking for "other options" being hinted at, though not implemented.
Hardly a "harem-builder". That path has to a strict set of choices, very narrowly defined, and easily lost, with the NTR options bleeding in.
There were/are two other paths in the original setup that just got lost in the mix too. It's just a shit-show for all the non-ntr choices, with the ntr path being more like a KN than a VN, whilst the non-ntr is messy to say the least.

And whatever happened to the short-dick chinese guy and his horny girlfriend?

Hi all, there is a problem in the code. screens.rpy "Erica Stat"

elif persistent.current_char == 2: # Erica
if EricaRelationship < -15:
return "gui/stats/Erica_-15.png"
elif EricaRelationship < 1:
return "gui/stats/Erica_0.png"
elif EricaRelationship > 0 and EricaRelationship < 16:
return "gui/stats/Erica_0.png"
elif EricaRelationship > 15 and EricaRelationship < 21:
return "gui/stats/Erica_0.png"
elif EricaRelationship > 20 and EricaPerfectDate == 1:
return "gui/stats/Erica_20.png"

Erica_20.png no work

Yeah, the hover sounds for buttons are already starting to get on my nerves… I’ll probably remove them, but I wanted to try it out first.

As for the font — I know opinions vary, but I actually like this lighthearted style quite a lot, and I know many others do too.

The main menu gives exactly the right impression: three shadowy figures in the background, ready to take your place. There are a lot of subtle hints in both the video and the title… I’m curious to see if fans will catch everything.

I only just started this, and about 10 minutes in i've had to turn on sans font and high-contrast because I just cant read the dark blue thought text at all.

I don't know... I get the need to go for something light-hearted, but the font is still too cartoony for the themes present in the game (domination, lack of comedic moments). Just my 2 cents, of course...

I didn't notice the figures in the skyline, you're right.

Also, a small tangent regarding AI animations: Lara's face when looking up at MC is perfectly animated - exactly the kind of use of AI I whole-heartedly approve of. The small, subtle shifts that "regular" animation would take forever to do, and breathes life into the character.

Thanks for feedback, I see you are savy... so maybe open script file and search for (renpy.TEXT_TAG, u"i"), change color to #8debf0 (bright blue)... contrast of black outline and bright inner color should make it more visible. I've done it now, let me know if it works for you.

Lack of comedic moments... come on now... you take this game way too seriously.

This is old bug which is already fixed.

For me, AI only work in 2D and I have no issue when it's used there. But when used on 3D renders, it creates that weird, fake realistic, uncanny picture that incorrectly make you think it was “improved”.

It was not.

What I like with 3D daz (or others software), is that unique visual appearance that the models have. It's “realistic”, but still a 3d render. There is that unique charm that 3d renders have, and some artists even sculpt their models to give them their distinct and recognizable look. And I feel that the AI is sucking the soul out of those renders.
I won't even talk about the animation. Flawed, unnatural, unnerving. When you go from 3d to AI in game, the transition is unsettling to say the least, the face and body of the characters twists and even add detail that weren't there.

Who is this appealing to?

I really feel like that by pursuing excessive realism the AI provides, it removes the diversity and the uniqueness of these artworks.

It's immersion breaking to have suddenly a character turning into an uncanny "real" human.

I'd rather the artist learn new tricks, better themselves, learn to do better animation, that they can show in their art, than just firing kling, wai, or any other video AI for their "improvement".

Just my opinion.

On principle, I agree.

But AI animations - when used sparingly - can enhance the experience. The latest main menu animations that the dev is implementing for Babysitters is well done. Well, parts of it. Lara's expressions were top notch.

But I suspect only because movement is limited in scope; full sex scenes with AI are still way too uncanny for comfort.

A nothingburger update incoming...

yea might be short again like mc and erica in pool.

The sex scenes are scarier than before! Seriously? They're many times better than they were before, at least they look more real and alive.

I did spend a little while looking through some of the files, but didnt look in script, I ended up using URM. I'll give it a shot, thx

Edit: Yes, thats perfect!

 

[OneShotLarry]

Eh, the "X-ray" thing is popular in "breeding" hentai and American comics to show the woman getting impregnated, though usually there's a shot of a sperm entering an egg.

 

[OneShotLarry]

How old is Jess supposed to be?

She and Christine are implied to be fresh out of high school in Babysitter, and Jess and Jane are referred to as "barely legal teenagers" in Babysitters/Breaking Boundaries or whatever the hell it's now called.

That would make sense if the game is supposed to be in California where the consent age is 18, I guess.

 

[cxx]

How old is Jess supposed to be?

she and her friend are around same age as erica and "bit" younger than daddy's "angel"ica so 18+.

 

[CursedByAll]

X-ray......so 2000's......
Devs are showing their age on this....
Which seems just weird while pushing AI "boundaries"

 

[eebbk]

Will there be any content related to Jessica in the next update?

Will there be any content related to Jessica in the next update?

depends how long lara's trip takes on next update.

 

[PlayerOk]

i didn't play this game because i saw version 0.1.3 and thought that there is very little to no content, but to my surprise the game is quite big already with many scenes i really like it, will watch it closely from now on
