I hope you are all doing well!
I'm thrilled by the feedback to Bound By Volithine so far. Having 8 reviews is far more than I ever expected, and I'm very happy about it. Plus, the game is still getting views and downloads, which is wonderful.
I wanted to touch base and give an update on the game's current state. The demo follows the events of the story up until the end of the first act, while the full game will be three acts long. I'm currently working through the second act, as well as adding many interactions, scenes, and even a new chapter to the first act. For this reason, I have considered releasing a 2nd Demo that includes the changes and fixes to the first act, even though I only ever planned on one demo release before the full version. Would you all be interested in a second demo with a handful of fixes and additions? Or would you rather wait until the full version's eventual release?
Progress is slow but steady. I am still the only one working on this game, aside from help from independent contractors occasionally. I am looking for writers and artists to help make my job a little easier, but I'm pleased with the game's progress so far and I hope it continues! When I uploaded the demo on Steam, I claimed the game would launch around Early 2026, and despite the amount of things to do before then, I want to try my hardest to reach that deadline.
To raise interest in the game, I plan to start putting playthroughs of the demo on my new Youtube channel at some point. If possible, I will also try and find others to record their playthroughs as well. I will create another announcement once those playthroughs being to appear, even if it may be a bit before they do.
Once again, thank you all so much for your support. Please let me know if you have any questions for me!
