Bug Squashing and Gallery Updating

I learned a couple of years ago on a really buggy test release that a buggy game is more work than a polished game to release.

In an ideal world, there would be some way to effectively work bugs and track them and solve them, but that's like... Using work tools like Git and asking you all to participate. That's no fun.

So, instead, I took a ton of time to debug and polish since my last update to get BONR even better so the game doesn't crash or behave weird when you playtest it soon. The debugging and polishing is still ongoing... There's a lot of stuff that doesn't break the game but is just bad like faces in the wrong place or characters overlapping each other or typos that I'm refining before I share a test build with you. You deserve quality, and I'll deliver that even if it takes an extra week or two!

Part of that effort is revamping and improving the galleries, plus making sure replaying endings works well, plus making sure there's shortcuts to the 13 various endings... Breaking that down:

• Galleries - A lot of the nudes and images in BONR were game-jam quality. I've updated 41 images this week and created 53 more that supplement or add to the story and galleries for quality. It's not perfect, but the quality is way better now!

• Replaying endings - Endings are conditional depending on your relationships with the women, their sizes (based on decisions you make), or decisions you make in-game. Replaying them organically due to the way I develop the game requires some testing and configuration to work well. I'm halfway through making sure that works well.

• Shortcuts - After you've played the first few chapters a few times, it's a slog to get to the ending. I'm making a mechanic that unlocks that lets you skip earlier story to jump closer to endings to make it easier to enjoy them. The mechanic works okay, but I need to test it more...

All that said, I feel bad thinking I could get an update out last week. In practice, it would have been good, in reality, I would have ended up giving you something with tons of fanservice and fun, but frustration and disappointment. I want to just have the fanservice and fun, so I'll delay a week or so until it's perfect for you!!

I know you saw the character gallery last post, but I finished that completely since last week with all images updated, in upscaled and improved quality, so I did want to post another teaser... Plus the teaser is with Aurora. She's so adorable.

Thanks again for your support!
