0.1.3 feature preview
Appearances NOT FINAL, release schedule continues to be 10-ish days / bi-weekly
Good news is that we are now finally covering the electricity costs so this project can live beyond 0.1.3. It's mostly a battle of the fates type deal where the computer is dumping 600 W into the environment and the AC is battling it with 4.2 kW while 35°C rages outside. I hate summer, so thank you all for your support. As usual, you can

and help steer and make the project self-sustaining as it's now off suicide watch. Here are some of the results patrons have asked for.
Breaking the tedium of brunettes and custom facial morphs, per Patreon polls
In the poll, redheads and blondes have won convincingly. Not because people hate brunettes, just that there was a saturated amount of them between 0.1.0 and 0.1.2. Here's a preview of one of the blonde characters coming in 0.1.3, an office lady called Elizabeth (Liz, as named by one of the patrons).
Current direction as steered by polls, the mysterious coffee shop and the fantasy button in bed
I've been observing the polls and it's interesting to see femdom is in a fairly deep lead (no doubt thanks to Rebecca
), but there has also been a steady stream of people into maledom (which I will continue to support). Also requests on pregnancy and futa/tgirl, which I will integrate alongside filters into the app as long as interest remains in 0.1.3 through 0.1.4 (polls dictate priority, but I am intent on making Bindr diverse for everyone's taste, just like real life). Fortuitously, I'm sure many of you have noticed the scaffolding for exploring different modes of gameplay in Bindr 0.1.2, namely the different location with its own time of day and other stuff.
The following is an addition to the base game of 0.1.3, not the core of it
The coffee shop
Time of day is significant, as different people will be at the coffee shop (and other locations in the future) that you can interact with. One story / episode will also depend on when you decide to *go* to the coffee shop from your home. It will trigger a pull over sequence with two lady cops who will be arresting you for tax evasion (ALLEGED TAX EVASION). And given everything so far, I think you can see where this is going to go down the line if you play your cards right.
In the screens above, you can see the "vibe tests" for the characters. One is of Japanese descent, detective Yuna, the other you'll have to wait and see. They won't like you at the start, but you'll turn them around (as much as you can turn two dommes).
The "fantasy" button in the bed
The fantasy button in the bed is there to allow the exploration of various fantasies which do not befit the "realistic setting" of Bindr. Think "Bind, James Bind" James Bond 007 parody fantasies, sentient androids, whatever we come up in the future that won't break the illusion as it's part of a dream. It may become a permanent fixture in the future, but the main mode of getting matches and going on dates / hook-ups will remain the core gameplay element.
Custom high heels in Bindr - Representing the symbol of femininity accurately
And other custom assets...
Whether you like subby girls, switches or dommes, high heels are a big part of the modern woman's sex appeal. To some, they represent feminine power, to others they amplify the figure, shape of legs and butt... And have become a symbol of femininity.
Long story short, high heels, and especially stilettos, are hot.
Unfortunately, just like handcuffs (just google handcuffs daz3d), the preexisting assets are... Not good. It's amateur hour and I'm not going to sugercoat it. For the asking price, it's offensive. If it were free, sure, great. Hence why I initially modeled a very accurate model of handcuffs I personally own (ex was a rope bunny) for the Rebecca sequence (they'll come in handy often). To show you what I mean, an image is worth a thousand words.
I can't deal with this. It's almost right, but wrong in all the important bits. The thing to emulate are a certain French brand with a penchant for red bottoms. Flat, narrow heel, red bottoms, elegant, effortless lines. The friend of every lawyer, business woman, actress, domme and every hot girl ever, to the point a specific model is even officially called "Hot Chick".
I still haven't specified any of the materials. This is why the heel point is lit up diffusely instead of as a gold-shaded metal. I am also making different variants, with spikes, pink, colorful, classic black, matte black etc.
So what I chose to emulate are
a certain French brand with a penchant for red bottoms. Flat, narrow heel, red bottoms, elegant, effortless lines. The friend of every lawyer, business woman, actress, domme and every hot girl ever, to the point a specific model is even officially called "Hot Chick". The ingame fictional brand is "Fond Rogue" which is French for "Red Background".
Important to note that I have not only eyeballed this particular gem but also captured the essence of other designer shoes which will elevate your matches figuratively and literally. Plus, give them an extra dose of realism. I'll be showcasing more as we get closer to release.
