Sneak Peek: Chapter 1 Updates (NSFW)

Sneak Peek:  Chapter 1 Updates (NSFW)

Now that the first draft of the script for Build 0.5 is done, I'm turning my full attention to the renders. As you know, that includes a complete reshoot of Chapter 1. I know not everyone is necessarily going to be replaying that very first chapter (so maybe "Sneak Peek" isn't quite the right word), bu...

Sneak Peek:  Chapter 9 (SFW)

Last week I showed some previews of the updates happening to Chapters 1 and 2, but I told you I was also working on renders for the new content in Chapter 9 and, now confirmed, Chapter 10. Well, here you go!

Work on these renders is really just beginning and I've got a few surprises I'm going to ...

Sneak Peek:  Chapter 1 Updates

As previously mentioned, while I'm writing new content for Build 0.5 (a brief update of which is below), I've also decided to go back and reshoot Chapter 1, taking advantage of the skills I've developed over the last few months. 

As I'm working through that, I thought I'd sh...

Status Update on Build 0.5 (updated June 21)

Updated June 21:  Updates have been underlined

With 1,800 lines of dialogue, I am now down to less than 300 that require images. This is the final stretch. Unfortunately, these images are very resource intensive so while it is possible I'll have this update out before the en...

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR CHAPTER 2

When I originally wrote Chapter 2, I had fewer resources and -- frankly -- less skill. I've acquired more of both and it's helping as I look back. In addition to some adjustments of the dialogue between Nick and Ronan, I'm also using the assets ...

Poll: Livestream with Developer of BBN on Discord?

UPDATE:  The results are in and a weeknight is the strong favorite. I'll look at my schedule for next week, but I'm currently thinking either Tuesday or Wednesday night, probably at 9pm EST. Once a date/time is finalized, I'll have a new post up here on Patreon.

Dev Note: Thank you, road map, and a favor


When I put out Build 0.1 (aka the "Demo") in early February, I had no patrons, no followers on Twitter, and no idea whatsoever if I'd be able to put together something that folks would catch anyone's interest. Not only have folks been interested, but a lot of them have been willing to step f...

BtS:  Creating the Images for BBN

A few of you have been asking for this almost since BBN launched and -- after a couple of aborted attempts -- I finally got it together. Here is a slightly less than 20 minute video on the process for creating the images in BBN. 

This is NOT a tutorial on how to use Daz3d (that would take ho...

RELEASE: Build 0.4b (Now Public!)

Update:  Now available to the public! I'm releasing this a few days early partly for the holiday weekend but also due to a very kind shout out by the developer of another VN.

Hello there you beautiful people. This is the final status update before the release of Build 0.4 for early access.

We are almost there. The script has been fully written for several weeks and, finally, all images have been rendered and through the first round of quality control ("QC"), including...

Sneak Peek:  Chapter 8 (SFW)

There are two scenes at the end of Chapter 8 that I'm working on. The final explicit scene and then the cliffhanger. They're both a little complicated (for different reasons) and because I don't always know for sure how an image is going to turn out until it's completely rendered, I've been going back ...

Today's Sneak Peek not only offers a glimpse of another explicit scene in Chapter 8, but it's one of the renders I ran last night for the last explicit scene in Chapter 8. After this, the only staging and rendering left is for the cliffhanger.

If you've been paying attention to the environments, ...

Update on Build 0.4 and May Billing

Happy Saturday, all.

This morning I sat down to do a hard assessment of where things are with Build 0.4. Compared to where I was at the beginning of the month, I'm so close I can taste it... but it's just not ready. More details are below but the short version is this:  Expect a rele...

As mentioned on Discord and updated in the Status Update post, the renders for the first sex scene in Chapter 8 are finished. This marks roughly 50% complete on renders for Chapter 8.

Thoughts on Benefits for Lycan Tier?

My first priority is to finish Build 0.4, with new content in Chapter 4 and then new Chapters 7 and 8, which are 99+% focused on Alex. It's a ...

Revised May 1 -- Updated Areas are Underlined

Before I get into the details, here is some context:  Build 0.2 was a quick update turned around in two weeks as a "thank you" for early backers. Build 0.3 was a more substantial update that more doubled the size of the game from ~2,000 ...

Quick Update on Build 0.4

Just a quick update here for you from an undisclosed beach location:

Connor’s introduction in Chapter 4, including the script and all renders are done. I am going to revise Santino’s dialogue in Ch. 4 a little as I got some positive feedback on the Italian phrases I’d used for him in Chapter 3 as adding some distinct personality to him. So, unless y’all tell me “Hell no, I hated...
