Long term plans
Added 2018-09-20 09:25:40 +0000 UTCToday I want to tell you about some of our long term plans. Every month we plan content for several versions in the future. Sometimes we do everything on time, sometimes we don't. This is why client has some images of the future content.
But our plans aren't just about future events, dialogs, and characters. Here are some examples.
Male protagonist
We're thinking about adding male protagonist in the near future. We also decided to add some rudimentary story, he won't be there just for the sandbox elements. Some dialogs and events will have to be changed up a bit, of course. For example he won't be too shy to change in front of his classmates. Instead he's going to seduce Julia. Also, male protagonist version of Julia will have a girlfriend and main protagonist will be helping Julia on her journey of self discovery.
We planned this from the beginning, so technically it won't be as complicated and we won't have to change too much code to implement him. You may wonder how are we supposed to do all this work? Well, we have a new member on our team, who is going to work on dialogs and events. We're sure we'll be able to make even more content now.
You'll be able to see male protagonist if you start a new game in 0.7. You won't be able to pick him yet, though, we haven't actually implemented him into the game yet.
Offline version of the game
We're not promising anything, but we're seriously concerned about ping issues and possibility of our server going down. We're thinking about moving all server logic into the client without changing the current structure too much.
Maybe we'll return to our old model, client will automatically download updates from our server, but you won't need an online connection to play.
Steam
As some of you might have heard, Steam now allows adult games, which opens a lot of opportunities for players and developers. We'd like to use their services too, of course. We might have to change our economic model for it. For now we're looking into legal matters and I'll tell you more once we have some news.
That's our plans. Don't ask us "When?" and we won't tell you "Soon™" :)
I'll tell you more about our plans about 0.7 in one of the future post.

I guess same here as well
2018-09-26 08:28:54 +0000 UTCI'm with Dakuisha, I want to support you and your game but the performance is atrocious with it being always online, so until there is an offline option i can't continue to support the game.

2018-09-24 15:29:07 +0000 UTCOr DS could just not implement always online DRM into the game... So what if people copy and distribute the game, it's essentially a form of free advertisement. I for one found a free copy of BB on a third party website, I enjoyed it enough that I came looking for this patron and then started to support the development. If it were not for that site I would never have even heard of this game.

2018-09-22 11:01:19 +0000 UTCSpeaking frankly I want to support you, your team and this game however I was against the launcher option in that you had to login every-time you wanted to play the game and as a point of principle I will NEVER support a game that has uses always online DRM in a single player game. Simply put, if an offline version is made available I can see myself coming back and supporting you again but until such a time I have no interest in your project.

2018-09-22 10:52:57 +0000 UTCi agree about the fact that the game is complicated but hell no giving up on BB was the best idea ever and the best time to do it. The game was stagnating and the way the story moved was a dead end cause there was no challenge and no more goal.
2018-09-22 01:28:53 +0000 UTCone question where is the gym icon on map gone ? why it dissapeered ... or is it just me .....

2018-09-21 17:54:22 +0000 UTCperfect
2018-09-20 23:05:04 +0000 UTCThe renders look good - but the gameplay is terrible - people play games to escape from the dullness of life - reading through meaningless dialogue in a game is dull - far better to go and read a book ..
2018-09-20 21:39:58 +0000 UTCDS успехов Вам , ждем новых событий в игре , хотелось бы поскорей увидеть Катю на физкультуре и в бассейне
2018-09-20 18:27:57 +0000 UTCлишь бы не получилось как в поговорке " за семью зайцами погонишься- ни одного не поймаешь " мне интересно когда Катя начнет бегать с сестрой и когда появятся уроки фискультуры, а так же сможет ли Катя посещать одноклассников
2018-09-20 18:26:34 +0000 UTC"...but you won't need an online connection to play." That would be awesome since it is already a bit laggy.
fun
2018-09-20 15:22:01 +0000 UTCjust want share my opinion this game already great,
2018-09-20 15:11:32 +0000 UTC"When?"

2018-09-20 14:18:49 +0000 UTCSorry but the game is overly complicated - mundane tasks and irrelevant dialogue - it probably has an interesting story in there somewhere - it’s a pity you gave up on B.B. for this..
2018-09-20 14:18:03 +0000 UTCMagnificent plans, great news!

2018-09-20 11:45:40 +0000 UTCI get that the current server is terrible/problematic, but think why you went with this model in the first place, once there is an offline version, the game will be copied again ad infinitum. Amazons AWS Service is pretty cheap, very reliable and scales to your needs. Can't cost that much more compared to what you currently have. If you go the Steam Route and change your business model, that point is moot of course.

2018-09-20 11:04:21 +0000 UTCWe're thinking about adding profiles for such things
2018-09-20 10:55:41 +0000 UTC"Maybe we'll return to our old model, client will automatically download updates from our server, but you won't need an online connection to play." Can't wait!

2018-09-20 10:53:17 +0000 UTCHappy to hear this news. Even though I don't enjoy the game in it's current state I'm optimistic for the future of your game.

2018-09-20 10:47:45 +0000 UTCI would welcome the offline version. As it gives the posibility to have more controll over your own saves. You can then create multiple kates , divided over multiple saves like Lez Kate, Bitch Kate , Shy Kate , Golddigger Kate etc.

2018-09-20 10:46:16 +0000 UTCSteam is more strick than patreon you might try some were else

2018-09-20 10:39:14 +0000 UTCIs bb in these plans? Or in future ?
PassionPixelGames
2018-09-20 10:27:53 +0000 UTCOffline version i think it would be a good move. As far as Steam is concerned, I support the idea, but do not rely for it as only income. Steam proved to be quite fickle about adult themes and might retract permission, or add additional limitations (similar what happened to Patreon many months ago). Anyway I removed support when game went online requirement and will consider supporting again if this changes to normal offline.

2018-09-20 10:25:58 +0000 UTCThat would be a giant thing to move to the Steam. It would require a lot of changes in your development model tho as monthly updates ain't a thing out there and playerbase is different. Still good luck with that
