RELEASE: Build 0.3c (Chapters 4 through 6)

UPDATED May 5, 2021:  Build 0.3c is now available to the public. The links have been updated with links to this build. Compared to build 0.3b, this build incorporates additional descriptive text in an explicit scene, updates to the UI, and fewer typos.

Guys, it is big and it is coming to your hard drives -- NOW!!! 🍆💦

I'm happy to announce Build 0.3 of Bound by Night is now available to patrons at the Hunter tier and above through your early access benefit. 

How big is it? Well, Build 0.2 had slightly less than 200 images in it and a little more than 1000 lines of dialogue and coding for the in-chapter content. In contrast, Build 0.3 includes more than 300 new images and more than 2,000 lines of new dialogue and coding!!! (Whew! No wonder I'm tired!)

A few notes on this release:

• The explicit scene in Chapter 6 is purposefully difficult to unlock. If you can't figure it out, I've included a walkthrough that you can find in the game directory. (Note:  This has been made a little easier in Build 0.3b)
• This release also includes some technical improvements, such as putting the explicit sounds during sex scenes into their own audio channel, so you can adjust the volume or mute it entirely while keeping the music and sound fx up (you can access this via the Preferences screen).
• I took a little bit of a risk with changing perspectives in Chapter 5 between Alex and Nick. I used transitions and sound fx to help alert you when this was happening. I don't expect to do this often, but I think it really fit the scene. Let me know what you think. If you hate it or find it confusing, I can rewrite it from a single character's perspective.  Note:  If your preferences are set to skip Transitions, you may miss some of the clues when a perspective shift is happening. Leave Transitions unselected to get these alerts.

I strongly recommend you start this with a new save game to avoid the risk of any crashes or errors. (If you want to fast forward to the choices, hit the “Tab” key and it will fast forward through the story based on your selections in the Preferences screen.)

Enjoy and -- once you're able 😁 -- let me know what you think! In addition to leaving comments here (which you know I respond to), I'm on Discord a lot and would love to talk with you guys there in real time.
