Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for your ongoing support and enthusiasm for Timebound. As I've developed the game up to version 0.2, I've learned a lot and gained new insights into how to improve the overall experience.

I'm considering a remake of version 0.2 with enhancements in both the graphics and the storyline. The goal would be to polish the existing story without making any drastic changes—just refining it to make it even better. And of course, it won't take as much time as developing a completely new version.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Do you think I should proceed with this remake, or should I focus on moving forward with new content?

Let me know by voting in the poll below!

Your feedback is incredibly important to me. Thanks again for being part of this journey!

I like the idea of remake, it would make both graphics and story much better.

 

[Ashira13]

it really depends on excactly what kind of graphical enhancements he is talking about. streamlining text is always a good idea.

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I’m excited to share that the development of Timebound version 0.3 is officially underway! A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the recent poll—your feedback has been invaluable. Based on your input, I’ve decided to continue advancing the story in version 0.3 while also striving to enhance the overall experience of Timebound.

That said, I want to be transparent about my situation. Due to financial constraints, I’m currently unable to dedicate all my time to Timebound and have had to take on additional work outside of the project. As a result, progress on version 0.3 might take a bit longer than usual. Nevertheless, please know that I’m fully committed to giving this project my all and will continue to develop it during my free time with the same level of passion and care.

Lastly, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all my amazing patrons, both new and long-standing. Your support truly fuels my motivation to keep pushing forward. Thank you everyone for being on this journey with me and for your continued belief in Timebound. Stay tuned for the upcoming update!

With appreciation,
Lyn

Thank you for the message and keep up the great work.

I'm not the developer...

I'm not the developer...

I know that but you are doing a great work sharing the information with us. Thanks.

I know that but you are doing a great work sharing the information with us. Thanks.

He really does, doesn't he. I've seen so much information and previews on so many different threads thanks to DevinHesi's great work.

Just played it and I gotta say, the people who gave those super low ratings on the game were absolutely acting in bad faith.

This game is not "manifested perfection" by any means, but it absolutely does not deserve the low ratings it got.

It is easily, at the bare minimum, a 3-star game. Most people that enjoy laid-back, funny and not very serious or immersive story-telling would probably think of this is a 4-star.

I can only assume it's some childish people who get a boner over taking malicious action against others for no reason.

If you're gonna write a review, just be fair with it instead of letting your own expectations of what the game *should be* (in your subjective opinion) get in the way of what it is.

You have every right to not like a story, but writing biased disingenuous reviews on it is really fucking shitty.

I've taken note of some feedback regarding the minigame in version 0.2 that some players found frustrating. In response, I've made a few adjustments to enhance your experience. Here are the changes:

• Removed the rollback block on each riddle. Now, if you answer incorrectly or miss pressing the buzzer in time, you can backtrack.
• Eased the difficulty of the arm wrestling game.
• Removed the rollback block in the spot-the-difference game.
• Added a skip button for each dance move in the dance challenge.
• Lowered the victory threshold for the dance challenge from 60 points to 50.

I hope these updates make the gameplay more enjoyable for you. Thank you so much for playing my game and for sharing your valuable feedback.

[CinderFall201]

Wow this game is so amazing, can't wait until future installments. Take all the time you need to get things rolling and will see you in the next update.

I can't pick a favorite character so I usually go for full harem route XD

And of course there are countless of cliches and embarassing moments. Dear devs, please stop taking inspirations from japanese animes.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a progress update on Timebound version 0.3, which has now reached 40% completion. This update will be split into two parts because I don’t have enough time to complete version 0.3 on the same schedule as previous updates. To avoid making you wait too long, I’ve decided to release it in two parts. Naturally, the playtime will be reduced accordingly, and I hope you can understand.

Here’s what I’ve accomplished so far:

Changelog:

• 1200 lines of new code
• 149 new renders
• 11 new animations

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to leave a comment below or join our Discord server to connect with other players. Thank you all for your patience and continued support!

Best,
Lyn

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? Can you believe we’re already in the final month of 2024? Time flies, and yet it feels like my progress has been moving at a snail’s pace. Lately, my workload outside of Timebound has been heavier than usual, which has made it challenging to dedicate as much time to the project as I’d like.

I know waiting isn’t easy, and I’m truly sorry for the delay. I’m doing my best to finish Part 1 of version 0.3 this December. Thank you so much for your patience and to all my amazing Patrons who continue to support me—you are the reason I keep pushing forward.

Now, let’s take a quick look at the progress so far:

Changelog:

• 2400 lines of new code
• 311 new renders
• 11 new animations

Thank you again for sticking with Timebound. Your support and encouragement mean the world to me. Stay tuned.

With gratitude,
Lyn
