Ren'Py Burning Boundaries [v0.1.4] [T4bbo]

[DarknessDai]

Lately… I know more games that haven’t been cracked than ones that have, even here on F95. Inceton's DRM was like 1/10, so don't even mention him, focus on those who have not been cracked yet. You know things are getting bad when, instead of cracking, pirates just move to bypassing or sharing offline activations.

And hey—while it’s flattering that you’re comparing me to AAA games, you’re forgetting something: a small porn game doesn’t get nearly as much attention as a big AAA title. There’s just not enough interest for skilled crackers to spend time on it. But who knows… we’ll see.

Honestly, I’d love it if someone tried cracking it — spent a whole month on it — only to realize the game is already free… and then had to start all over again.

even Denuvo is getting cracked left and right now , so yeah if someone wants they can easily crack this game but its not worth it to be Honest since it will be free after month and this is just for your paying supporters and not just for the sake of DRM.

I'm really looking forward to part two. I think it will have some hot stuff for everyone to enjoy.

But it's taking a lot of time

AFAIK...
The version released yesterday is the Steam-compliant version of Part One, with all the graphic reworks, made from the beginning.

The version you already have is a backward-compliant version, without the mods required by Steam.
I'm not sure you need a "normal" hero for this to be useful, at this point.

From Patreon:


The last two months have been intense. I’ve been pushing hard to finish Part 1 and also working on the first chapter of Part 2 of Burning Boundaries.

On Tuesday, 18.11.2025, I’ll be sharing the final Part 1 build for testing with Patrons over on Discord (in the behind-the-scenes section), before submitting the final version to Steam for approval.

Official release of Part 1 and Chapter 1 of Part 2 is planned for 25 December 2025 on Steam and Patreon.
Yes… a Christmas present.

Steam Approval Process
Steam’s approval pipeline has around five major stages, and I’ve already made it through four. I originally planned to release the game on Steam much earlier — back in August as part of the Early Access program — but Steam has since abolished Early Access for NSFW titles, which forced me to change the entire release plan.

Now I’m standing at the finish line, waiting for the final green light — which should (hopefully!) arrive soon after I submit this last build. ✨

By the way, I’ve spent far more hours than expected dealing with the whole Steam onboarding as a publisher:

• setting up the store page & trailer
• navigating Steamworks
• configuring achievements & cloud saves
• endless tax forms
• endless surveys, compliance checks, back-and-forth messages…

And as if that wasn’t enough, Steam has been constantly changing the rules for NSFW games, dropping new “clarifications” almost every other day about what is or isn’t allowed.

Honestly?
I now understand why so many devs work with a publisher. Handling all this alone is practically a full-time job.

Short Vacation & Paused Billing
Once I made it through all the Steam paperwork, I took a short two-week vacation with my family — something I’d promised them a long time ago.

This is also why I paused October billing, as some of you noticed.

New DRM System (Digital Rights Management)
Together with a very close friend of mine — an expert in security protocols — we’ve been building a new DRM system, which actually required modifying parts of Ren’Py itself.

Early tests show massive improvements in loading and processing times compared to the legacy version. ⚙

We plan to roll it out in December 2025.

Here’s how it will work:

• DRM will be used only for Patreon releases of Part 2,
• Patrons can finally enjoy real exclusive early access for one month,
• Improved performance,
• Once the next version is released, DRM will be removed from the previous one,
• Starting next year, I plan to release a new version every month,
• DRM will not be included in the final Steam version,
• After just one online activation, offline gaming will be possible.

Important: And if all goes well, my friend may officially join the team .

New Discord Overhaul
I’ve completely rebuilt our

— not just visually, but structurally — and added tons of new features:

✨ New onboarding system & rules
✨ Generative AI tools
✨ AI characters from the game you can chat with
✨ Ranking system & achievements
✨ Automatic moderation (goodbye, spammers )
✨ Many more small quality-of-life improvements

To access most of the new features and enjoy lighter moderation, you need to reach Rank 5 – Gold Member (trusted user).

Quick tip: You can speedrun it by giving the emoji on the posted rules inside Server Rules (give emoji during onboarding process or go to Server guide -> Server Rules).

Marketing Push
I’m currently talking with multiple devs for cross-promotions and Steam bundles.

So please forgive the upcoming wave of marketing posts — I’m trying to get as many wishlists as possible before release.

Most devs list their game six months ahead.

I only have two.

❤ Thank You
Thank you all for sticking around — for the patience, the encouragement, the messages, and the support even when things get rough.

You’re the reason this game is still alive.
I’m giving it everything I have because of you.

Exactly what games haven't been cracked here on F95? There is nothing wrong with "offline' activations they still do the trick and people still get the game free and don't have to pay shit, that is the point after all. And offline activators have been around long before Denuvo, offline activators are some of the earliest cracks.

I am NOT comparing your game to some AAA game either......

 

[slightchance]

You know things are getting bad when, instead of cracking, pirates just move to bypassing or sharing offline activations on and enjoy other things.

FTFY

Good luck with your counter measures. And who knows? Maybe this is your true calling.

 

[turbokinetics]

I know more games that haven’t been cracked than ones that have,

should look around more. basically everything that people actually want gets cracked. the only AVN's that are quality enough to be close to the AAA realm have such long development cycles that they turn into supporter milking for dlc level content

None of the 2024 or 2025 most popular games protected by Denuvo have been cracked. That means no one has fully removed the anti-tamper, gathered the keys and unlocked the game for proper distribution. So go on—send me a link to 1337 or any other torrent/pirate site where someone can download a fully cracked Wukong. Even the guy flexing on Reddit recently didn’t have anything stable. All they’re doing now is sharing offline activations which can be easily countered by those monthly updates.

Spellbook...

That’s all I want. If someone can wait a month, they can wait years—or simply not play the game at all. At least it makes Patrons feel like they actually have something others still need to wait for. I am in talks with many devs and they all say it's quite big difference whether game leaks after few hours or days.

well steam doesn't allow 2 games with near same name aka game and game 2 unless those are from big companies.

, it is only a matter of time.


I guess you've not been following the latest developments, there is a new cracker on the scene and slowly working through the queue of Denuvo games, he has currently cracked now all the games from 2021, as he stated he wanted to start from the earliest ones to gain experience as he slowly gained knowledge with each version.

Yip, and some of the earliest ones around as you had to do offline way back in the day. The new offline method is tokens. Most people just don't want to do the one extra step involved with it.

 

[T4bbo]

offline activators is a crack dude lol.

A crack means:

• The DRM / anti-tamper is fully removed
• The game runs on any machine
• No servers, no keys, no activations, no whitelists
• Truly offline, independent, stable
• You can copy it, reinstall it, run it anywhere

A crack = the protection is gone.

An offline activation means:

• The DRM is still there
• Someone just gives you their activation key (yes, you need to adjust it, but without it you're cooked)
• Your HWID must match (or be whitelisted)
• If the game updates → activation breaks
• If the server disappears → it stops working
• Your hardware changes or Win updates → it stops working
• The DRM is NOT removed — you’re just tricking it temporarily

Offline activation = borrowed access, not a crack.

Symantics by technical definition. bro, welcome to the internet where we will still call it a crack. Pirates dont care about symantics lol (okay maybe the genZ pirates do, the old heads really dont care). Such a weird place to argue this lol

An alternative would be to just ban devs from this platform who go out of their way to include DRM unless they pay to showcase their game here. Why give them access to an audience they don't need where they can advertise their paywalled product for free? At the same time we should get the option to filter those projects out so that discussions take up less space and people can forget about them.
