I feel like Philly Games storytelling skills in this particular game is a little off. It has this kind of dragged on feel to it which sometimes tiring to read. I think he should work on his storytelling tempo a little bit, right now it just doesn't feel exciting or interesting to read all that words.

I think you played to wrong the game or posted in the wrong thread bruh. Or you're Aorrta/Scamdrop/ICSTOR with a different username. Don't hate/troll an honest, hard-working man, this dude gives 100% for his fans, if u don't like the game, I respect that, it's your opinion, but don't make stupid remarks just because you don't like reading "all that words".

So your first post in 1y+ is an epic insult to this dev ?? Philly doesn't know how to tell a story ??:eek::FacePalm: I dare you to tell us who's better, give us names/addresses/license plates and all that shit. Even as a joke, it's simply a shitty remark. I recommend you to use a WT/WT mod to play it again and UnRen to see the renders, the game has LOTS of sex scenes, sexy AF women and a damn good story, the best story EVER seen in a porn game. The animations are top-notch, the best on this site, so at least give it the benefit of the doubt if u liked the game but missed on content, you won't regret it !!(y)

That's a facefist... not a fistpalm! :FacePalm:

Looking forward to 0.8/1.03/1.1... to see more of the seductress/femme fatale Victoria. :love:

Can't say no to her... spellbound path FTW!

Edit: removed the meme as it apparently came off as aggressive

Do you guys really think all of this is neccesary to answer a guy who has just made a comment about this game not being exactly of his liking? Why this need for aggressive responses? It's not fun and you are making a poor impression of yourselves - and of the game's fans too
It's a response to the picture/meme xXwankerXx put in his post, that's all. Just making fun. :)

Dev Update #64
Well, I think crunch time is now upon us :p
This week I was focused on writing primarily with just adding a few new pick up shots, animations, and a couple animation fixes, so not that much has changed on that front.
I suspect it will be around 1000 renders and a bit over 60 animations when is all said and done. I still have a good deal on the writing side to do but hopefully I can get it ready for proof around next weekend then do the rest of the heavy lifting on the render and animation front while that is happening.
I also plan on setting up this months poll for customs this week. Still need to decide on some ideas for that though :p
A long road on this one but we are getting close :)
As always guys, stay awesome!

is there an option between futa and female?
No, there's only one trans character and she's always trans. You can't change that.

I agree.
Even though I absolutely disagree with that user's opinion I think us fans should just show them the reasons why we think CoBD is an amazing game and Philly a fantastic dev.
I hate it when I go to other games threads, comment on some aspects I don't like (like a stupid story, gratuitous blue-balling, extremely young characters, female MCs depicted as brainless sluts, etc.) only to be told to shut up and leave the thread if I don't like the game. Well, the basic idea underlying any discussiong board is to debate about the things you like and don't like, otherwise we are creating echo chambers where everyone thinks alike.
Of course, this applies as long as the user's opinion was expressed politely.

I am a Sonya fan! No shame in that. She is a hot 30-35 year old in need of my care and love!
Hey, there's no accounting for taste. Sonja is quite a handful :BootyTime:
By the way, some months ago the dev commented on the ages of certain characters. He said that the MC and Sonja were around the same age, him being a bit older:

While this may be true..he made a comment that it lacked enough sex...which was dumb. Maybe he needs to play a game with harem tags instead.

This is true and in the same vain people are allowed to express how dumb said comments might be too lol.

Well he made his point lol, but the words or in his sense "storytelling being a little off tempo", I mean if you cared to read it with interest (without spamming ctrl) and not just playing it for sex scenes, then your experience and your outlook would be quite different. After all it is a visual novel. I mean hey it's his opinion. Atleast he gave some appreciation for Philly's Renders and animations which are top notch, so all is not lost. I respect that. So yeah.

I agree.
I hope there's new content involving Sonja. I feel she just makes small Cameos tbh. But those small scenes of her are what make the story interesting. :unsure:

Gotta give credits to his beautiful renders and animations though. Hats off.
For the most part I disagree, but then again I like a good slow burn in my stories.

I think the game is paced pretty well: slow opening as we roll out the plot and introduce the main players, rising tension as we lead into conflicts, intense (if brief) action during those conflicts, then a lull as we take in the new situation afterwards. It's not always perfect, but I feel it does a great job of keeping my engagement without becoming boring - or worse, overhyping every little thing until the buildup is so large nothing could ever hope to pay it off.

That said, I do feel Chapter 7 was caught in something of an uncanny valley, narrative-wise. On the one hand, Gloria's departure and the mission to infiltrate Barnard Medical are big deals that should call for a weighty atmosphere. But on the other hand, this is effectively just a side-quest to move a few pieces around the board and our heroes face no meaningful opposition. That calls for a lighter tone to cleanse the pallet before the real confrontation.

I don't think the game quite threads the needle between those competing demands. The result is that (IMHO) the hospital rescue feels like filler and the lead-in to the upcoming showdown feels tacked on rather than growing organically out of events up to that point. Which is a shame and it's the first real misstep in the story so far.

But I'm still eager to see the next chapter, so I think Philly must be doing something right. :)

Speaking of which...

Cool image. As far as the update, I feel like the situation is about the same as last week: we're in the home stretch, but still a ways from the actual finish line.

Yes, I think they are within a few years. I am guessing the MC is 40 or so Betty 50 or so, Henry 50 or so and would fit with Sonya being 35ish. She is HOT!
