Dev Update #7: The future, Now

I was very happy to see quite a few people purchasing Bonding, Now after release! Thank you! As a single part-time developer it always takes longer to create all the content, so knowing that some gamers decide to buy and experience my long-time-in-the-works creations puts a smile on my face. And of course this motivates me to continue on.

But remember: your feedback is invaluable. Not only regarding the gaming aspects, but also regarding the stories, the characters, the themes, moods and visuals.
Bonding, Now is a place where I can turn our fantasies into something more physical. I draw a lot of inspiration from the people around me: my partner, my friends, family. And it is a bit of my quirk that I am interested what people think of the characters in those. Who is your favorite? Who do you think is the most attractive? Which boy is the hottest? Which girl is the cutest? We'd really like to know!


Now that Bonding, Now is out, first thing I'll have to think about increasing the reach slightly. I'll try to spread the word of Bonding, Now across the internet and gaming communities. I'd love it if more people could join in.

But once that's done, back to game development! I think it's finally time to work on Story #3: Eclipse. For those of you that enjoy nudity: sadly, this story will not have any. I always liked detective/mystery stories, and this is basically what Story #3 is. But I guarantee that if you like crime noir, you will enjoy this one for sure.
Then there's also continuing adding additional days to the open-ended Story #5. But I think I'll be doing that in-between other things, not focusing on this instantly.

I currently have 4 other story ideas ready in early draft stage. I'd love to make them all, but with my limited time I need to choose my battles carefully. Two are my original ideas, one is my partner's and one inspired by original ideas from our friend. Not sure which one I'd like to do, but the general 'vibes' are:

1. Two couples and a nudist beach resort
   
2. A gender-swap story
   
3. Three-person mystery-filled trip to a rented cabin
   
4. Night guard shift at a shopping center

If you have any opinions, please be sure to give me a sign!
Also, if you think any of the existing stories should get a sequel: shout! The more people are interested, the more I will consider that possibility.

Anyway, enough babbling (writing) for today. Consider buying Bonding, Now! And stay in touch! Cheers.
