Still working at it!

Bound to College
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Hello my dear follower, 

the next chapter is still in development. Still, I wanted to give you a short update about the progress. Just if you wonder: yes I am still working at it and I am sorry it takes so long. Let me tell you why this is the case.

Spoiler

If you did not play the party scene, better stop reading now! 

I will try not to spoiler too much though.

In the last update, we have been at the party and it has been a very eventful night. Not only did we meet new people and could have been joined Max and Vincent for a private party, but we also might have discovered something is odd with Julian and Ron. 

There are already a lot of mights and maybes here, so I must take this into account for the next chapter, where you head home together with Ron and Julian. Depending on your choices, Ron might be in a very different condition. This results in very different scenarios and therefore alternate paths.  

The good news

The way back to the dorm and the prequel to the chapter as well as two alternate paths are already finished. They have even an animation in it (each). 

And this is not all! The interface got a whole new appearance. The additional translations are making good progress. We added a new, general path for Ned, so you can now keep him in a friend-zone instead of having him either go all relationship or all crazy. 

The bad news

But there are at least three (!) more paths to do. So unfortunately, the next update will still take some time. 

Like every previous update, this one is once again the biggest one I did so far. So, in consequence, it will take some more time again. I still cannot even estimate the amount of time still needed. I would guess, maybe half of the chapter is done by now. 

More good news

If you cannot wait, you can playtest the already finished parts of the next chapter. To do so, you need to become a Patreon. Even the 1€ pledge gives you access to it already, so the investment is reasonable, I think. Even if you cancel the pledge immediately, you will keep access to the beta version. 

Additionally, I made some wallpaper with different characters for the different pledges. 

And to say "thank you" for your patience I made a free wallpaper for you:

Once again I would like to thank you all for your support and patience. The discord server continues to grow as well. We are a "community server" now and I presume, it will not take long until we hit the 1.000 members. I am really happy to see, how many people enjoy this game and kind of proud what a supportive and nice community has been established. 

I cannot wait to show you all the new game chapter, the new interface, and all the minor and major changes to come with the next update. 

So please stay with me and I hope to see you soon in the comments, the discord, or at Patreon. 

Thank you.
