Build 0.10b - Now Public!
Added 2022-11-16 21:22:09 +0000 UTC
Update Dec. 15 -- Build 0.10b is now available for public download.
---------------------------------------------------
It's here! With huge thanks to the patrons who volunteered to help with playtesting and caught a number of issues and typos that had been missed, it's now ready. This build not only includes the missing option from Chapter 12 to let Alex take the role of a top, but includes Chapter 13 and brings Act 1 to a conclusion. Without further ado, here are the links for 0.10b:
You can also download the game via Itch.Io!
Now then, while you're waiting for that to download...
What's next for BBN?
First, I'm going to take a week and make some minor technical changes, such as expanding the gallery and other things that have been bothering me.
Then, I'm going to sit down and plot out Acts 2 and 3. There has always been a planned story arc for BBN, including Acts 2 and 3, but it's been more of a high concept. If you were looking at a map, it would be a start and an end with series of points, but no lines drawn between them. I need to draw out those lines, paying attention to the characters we've introduced, the choices that have been made, and how to bring all of that towards the endings I have planned.
Then, the writing will begin as well well as playing around in Daz a little bit. I want to continue to give y'all some artwork and share some Behind the Scenes posts as I work.
What's new in Build 0.10b?
- New content for Chapter 13
- Finished Scene where you can top in Chapter 12
- For PC and Mac, all gallery images should now unlock when viewed in game and new images have been added
- Revised menu options at end of Chapter 12 so the "human" route is available regardless of whether you opted-in to werewolf content
- Edited choices in Chapter 10 to better clarify significance of choice
- Fixed code that caused an image to not appear in Chapter 10
- Temporarily removed option to reject the coffee date in Chapter 8, as it was leading to a plot hole later in the story
- Corrected typos in Chapter 12
- Corrected clipping issue in some explicit images from Chapter 12
- Corrected default save names for different sections in Chapter 12
*Note for Android Users: Unfortunately, I messed something up when creating this update that designated it as a new game or project. This means all the old save data won't work. ðĢ I am very sorry for that, but I now know what I did so it won't happen again in the future. However, all saves created from v.0.10a forward will be compatible with all future versions. Also, you can enable Skip from the Preferences menu to quickly move through the story and get to the new content (turn on skip for Unseen Text and After Choices).

Man, this update made me relate so much more with the sexual tension between Mayhew and Alex ð I understand why things happened the way they did, but I was looking forward to Alex getting more Mayhew ððĨ.

2022-11-21 20:47:33 +0000 UTCLove the world-building the last few chapters - it really feels like a strange new supernatural world for Alex now. If there's one thing on my wish list going forward it's definitely more Paolo vs. Connor vs. Ronan... I kind of expected when talk of a security detail came up that Alex would have his pick of his preferred were-protector, and something about having a "pet" were-creature bodyguard/more(?) seems like quite the fantasy.

2022-11-20 05:27:28 +0000 UTCDefinitely! I was just getting a lot of requests for Alex to take a different role and the opportunity to do that with Ronan was too good and also very much fit with what I want to do with Roe's character.

2022-11-18 19:13:48 +0000 UTCHaha! Not intentional but as I think about it, I can absolutely see that reaction. As for Connor... I'm not going to answer. ðĪ Neither confirm or deny. ... Okay, I will say this much. There is an image from one of the CH 13 endings that may prompt speculation, but I can practically guarantee nobody will be able to guess what it means.

2022-11-18 12:45:21 +0000 UTCI replayed the game in the paladin route without sex and you make me hate all the characters jajajaajaj. The only one still i love a bit is roland when he warned me about mathew telling "good guys dont last in their world". One question i have: The policeman Connor, is he an agent of mathew who only wants to aprroach you to corrupt you and make you more easy to be control by mathew? You make me hate all of them jajajajajajaj. kill them all jajajaja.

2022-11-18 10:30:30 +0000 UTCThe first option should be "F*** yourself with his d***." But if you're looking for Ro to be an aggressive top and human, nope, sorry! Those four options darn near killed me! ðĪĢ

2022-11-18 05:07:42 +0000 UTCIs there no option to bottom in Chapter 12 except with Wolfie?

2022-11-18 02:06:29 +0000 UTCAP, another user reported the current build wasn't even launching for them, but I have fixed that (hopefully) with a new build. As for the issue I believe you're reporting (old Save Data isn't being found), I've reached out to the Ren'Py developer community for assistance with this. In the meantime, you can use this workaround: Start a new game and fast-forward through stuff using the SKIP function. To enable it, go to the menu, select Preferences, and enable Skip in "Unseen Text" and "After Choices"; go back to the game, and select "Skip" from the bottom menu. I recognize that's not ideal and I'm sorry for the hassle. I hope to get this figured out soon.

2022-11-17 15:33:50 +0000 UTCYes... It throws an error right after the app load screen... If you'd like, I can grab a screen grab for you and email it...
2022-11-17 15:32:59 +0000 UTCOh no, I'm really sorry to hear that. I built it with the same project and only updated the version number so I'm not sure why it would be doing that. I'll see if I can figure it out.

2022-11-17 13:01:59 +0000 UTCI have some problem with android version. It's becoming a new app that not connect with the last one.
