Looks like it might just become possible to build a relationship between Alex, Connor, Nick, and even with Ronan included despite being a complete asshole.
I am more and more surprised with your exceptional work, which is in the process of becoming almost even in a way revolutionary compared to the universe of Novels that has been until now heterosexually closed and dulgent towards other genres, thus blocking all options.
With your Novel you reverse this power by making us equal in all points of view without exception.
Well played !
You are definitely the best, and I really have no doubts now.
Definitely, I'm really completely in love with this game-novel ... - between Alex, Connor and Ronan ... They are absolutely gorgeous guys. (whatever, practically all the others are very cute too ...)
The choice is far too hard ... - but Connor is still my favorite. (in addition he looks a bit like my husband, in real life ...)
Tell me, are you becoming a perfectionist ...? - then there were many very big changes. (I reassure you, it's in the right direction)
Your work even becomes extremely surprising, it no longer has any relation to what it was at the beginning.
Any atmosphere (the background of the story), all these themes and feelings that are there, are all very surprisingly well merged. - nobody can say the opposite, your passion / your heart is there one hundred percent for sure.
I actually did some research on the design of his eyes and why they're so striking. The dark ring around the iris is called a limbal ring. At some point, I'm going to include a reference to it but haven't had the opportunity yet.
I'm sorry to hear you were unhappy with the benefits you received as a Patron. It looks like you were a patron in the month of May and cancelled at the end of the same month, so you were a Patron when Build 0.4 was provided on May 4 for 30-day early access. By "fixing old chapters," I assume you mean the reshoot of Chapter 1, which took about a week of development work and was also done in May.
For me as a development team of one person, Build 0.4 was a pretty big update of new content containing Chapters 7 and 8 with roughly 800 images and 2000 lines of dialogue and menu choices. If that was only a "few seconds" for you and was unsatisfying, then it definitely sounds like this isn't the project for you.
I'm sorry it wasn't the right project for you, and I hope you are able to find other content/developers you're more happy with! Best, BBN.
Sure the images look great but so do the images in most of these VNs. The difference here is that the sex itself is also pretty damn solid (not animation, the text describing it, which imo is even hotter) and most importantly the plot and the dialogue is very good. You will not be rolling your eyes trying to skip to the next sex scene. Plus the updates so far have all had a decent mix of plot and sex. Very promising.
I must say, playing the first build and now the latest update, that this VN is really going to places. It started a little slow, but now it's already a 'must play'. 👏
Wow, I love this game! Such great characters, amazing writing, really sexy art/scenes and a really interesting story! It's so refreshing to see a 'small' game like this with all of the above considering they usually lack one or two of those.
I will be following it very closely, you have my respects!
As a small constructive criticism (without spoilers) I would suggest to maybe try to improve the appearance of the werewolf, maybe make his 'nose' more of a snout, and overall make him a little more wolf and a little less ape (hope Im not offending you, just a thought). I dont understand anything about making this type of games/vn, and I guess it must be difficult, so I totally get it if you dont do it. This is entirely optional, but it would be great to have some options to top some of the characters!
Not offending me at all! It's hard for me to respond to without going into spoiler detail but if you swing by our Discord and ask in the Spoilers channel, I'd be happy to talk about it some more. For now here on some public forums without the ability to drop it into a spoiler, I'll say there were some technical reasons behind that decision as well as an in-game reason. But, you're not alone with not being particularly wild about that model (it's not my ideal, either). If a better model comes along that works for what I needed to do in that particular scene, I will probably go back and update it.
I am always so pleasantly surprised at the evolution, this addition of background story about their lives and certain relationships will have made them even more interesting in several ways. It even makes them in a certain sense even more charming. (it gives them more character)
The story in general is really becoming very influenced by all these series and movies in the genre of "Supernatural", "True Blood", etc ... - I'm very passionate about this stuff. Definitely, I really love your job. Moreover, I could see that you made a very good choice concerning your contributors / traveling companions in this exceptional work.
Take good care of you. I leave you a big hug. LOVES John
Definitely, with "Summer Vacation" are among the best game-novels that I have played / that I have known. - with the young Erwin (the creator of this other game-novel) you make me proud to be part of the old gamer generation and also gay.
Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this such intense pleasure.
You really do honor to our small community, which despite everything remains as strong and united.
Hi there! I am, yes. I tried to do it with this build but encountered a lot of errors when trying to create the distributable files. Obviously it shouldn’t be too hard to do so I’m sure it was user error on my part. Once I have build 0.4 out to patrons, this is something I’m going to try to research further and see if I can do.
That said, if you go to f95zone, someone created an android port hthat you could download there.
As it happens... I may have finally figured this out. If so, Build 0.4 will roll out with an Android build. Unfortunately, I don't have an android device on which to test compatibility, but I'll try to include it as an option.
From a technical perspective, yes, it would be that easy. But with the way I’m developing the game it’s a little more complicated. I’m a team of one and I’m a stuck on Windows and iOS. I could send a build to someone else to test, but (a) I don’t know anyone I trust with that and (b) builds of BBN are released to supporting patrons for a 30-day early access benefit. There isn’t anyone I know well enough to just send them an advance copy to test in a way that I’d be confident would protect and honor the benefit my patrons are expecting and paying for.
However, like I said, someone has already ported 0.3b to Android (I gave a link to the thread on another website). And because there is an interest in an android port, I’ll try to include an android build with 0.4; it will probably work fine, but I can’t absolutely promise it will. Fortunately, you don’t need to pay anything here on Itch before downloading something. So if it works, great! If not, not so great but also no money out of your pocket.
Frankly ... -and definitely, I no longer know if I should drool over your game-novel, or if I should cry ... Then now I am definitely reassured that this risks becoming absolutely exceptional work.
I will follow your work without a doubt, I reassure you even more than before, you have a talent / asset that many people do not have.
I definitely fell completely in love with your game-novel. (for me it's becoming absolutely perfect)
Speaking of something else ... - I noticed that you have taken into account some tips that are very beneficial to you.
You have nothing to thank, on the contrary, I am even proud of you.
You have evolved so much in such a short time that it is even impressive. - everything seems to rise/evolve in your favor, take the opportunity to take your own time to do what you have in your heart, be yourself, make your soul shine through in what you do. Then all of this really starts to get noticed.
In my thinking and feeling you really risk going very far, even if it is not your main job.
I sincerely have very good hope in you.
You can be proud of the beautiful person and genius that you are, and of the sublime work that you do.
Yes, with the monstrous, half-human form. It will probably be an optional scene(s) dependent on MC’s relationship score, but I’m working with models (both the base werewolf and genitalia) and posing to see what will work well.
Why not play it in a more Lycanthrope way...? - towards a more human/evolved version of this species...? Then in this form, all this merge very well with the general atmosphere of your game-Novel. (especially since a lot of very diverse affinity bonds could very well develop between all the characters that you have created) - there is already a very beautiful feeling that you have already created between them all, and it is becoming more and more interesting/intriguing and mysterious. (with a rather unique mythical side that spices up the curiosity of your audience)
Especially since you have already installed a little romanticism, sensuality and passion in the personality of the main character, you could possibly slightly accentuate all this towards certain characters, such as the detective for example, who seems to be being charmed and tenderly attracted to him. - for just one example, like an impossible love relationship ...?
And develop a rather special and wild (passionate/carnal) attraction of the main character to its creator. (these are just simple examples)
On the other hand, this young vampire who follows the main character everywhere, he sweats sensuality and a very protective and loyal side to his human heart. (especially since obviously he seems to have had a romantic relationship with the detective ...) - that on the other hand, it would be interesting (and funny) to see a werewolf with a vampire ... LOL
Regarding Dr. Ricci, it's hard to place him in this story other than the somewhat fatherly figure and best friend ... - but at the same time also with very deep feelings towards the main character ...
I think in Build 0.4 some of that will start to play out (but I'm not spoiling anything), and the long term plan and various endings will hit on a lot of those concepts.
Ricci is definitely kind of a "daddy" for those who are into seeing younger and older guys hook up. As to how exactly he fits into the metaplot... I won't confirm or deny anything.
It's very well done! - curiosity will leave cats on the alert ... (I'm talking about your audience of course)
All three already have fairly well defined and different characteristics, which already gives you many of the possibilities of very many/various beautiful stories.
Not to mention the creator of the main character's new personality ... - who at the moment seems to want to be very discreet and mysterious.
That's so awesome; thank you! I really appreciate the feedback! I'm already hard at work on the next update, with a draft of the first scene fully written. I'm finalizing work on the models for two new characters, then will begin the rendering, scripting, audio and so forth. Definitely more to come!

when is the chapter 10 update?

true connor is hot
Woot, so excited! Need to restart, as my aged brain has forgotten most of the story.
Fortunately you can now name your save games, so hopefully that will help a little, and Chapter 10 comes out in a couple weeks.
When Connor looks at me with those blue eyes, the answer is yes.
I actually did some research on the design of his eyes and why they're so striking. The dark ring around the iris is called a limbal ring. At some point, I'm going to include a reference to it but haven't had the opportunity yet.
all new release are just "fixing old chapters issues" and a few seconds of gameplay, feel like wasting my money...
Hi Vitoco.

I'm simping Connor and Luke :v

thanks Nymrod!

Thank you! I’ll be the first to admit I’ve learned a lot in the last few months. Thanks for trying it again!

Great! Ill definitely swing by the Discor. Nice to see you so responsive :)
Is there a Werewolf? Who is it?
There is at least one werewolf.
As to who he is (or they are)... I won't spoil it but you can find out in this build.
Will the werewolf be romanceable/have a route?
Absolutely!
Oh, this gets more and more interesting!
I am always so pleasantly surprised at the evolution, this addition of background story about their lives and certain relationships will have made them even more interesting in several ways. It even makes them in a certain sense even more charming. (it gives them more character)

Thanks, Ia! I can't wait to get build 0.4 out to everyone! I think you'll love it.

tem NSFW?
NSFW = Not Safe For Work (generally a reference to explicit adult content). In other words, don't play this at work or on an employer-provided device.
This game seem interesting are you considering Android version.

Will there be in the future romance and sex with a werewolf?
Yes, with the monstrous, half-human form. It will probably be an optional scene(s) dependent on MC’s relationship score, but I’m working with models (both the base werewolf and genitalia) and posing to see what will work well.
