The end of the month is approaching and, as always, that means I want to give you an update on where things are with the project and what the near future holds. Let's deal with first things first, and tackle work on the next update to BBN.
I'm more than 50% finished writing the first draft of the next update, including the coding for menus and remembering decisions. This is proving to be a diff...

Here is the second to last of the planned NSFW teaser images for Riley.
Later this week, expect the last in this series as well as a dev update.

A conversation with a fan on another site had me thinking about something, and I wanted to see if it was something y'all would be interested in...
Would you be interested in some creation stories for some of the characters (e.g., Mayhew, Ronan)? If so, this would be a secondary priority to getting you content on the main story, but something I could work on when I needed to change gears a littl...

Today is the first of the NSFW teasers for Riley. He's playful but far from shy.
Riley's character will be introduced in the next update, with Mathieu and Paolo to come in the update after that.

I'd say "happy Monday," but I usually want to smack people who say that to me so, instead, I'll just say I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
With salutations out of the way, here is the next teaser image of our next and final patron-sponsored character, Riley. I've already written his introduction for the next update and can't wait for you to meet him.
Soon to follow, Riley's NSFW teasers...

Today is the beginning of the teasers for the final patron-sponsored character, Riley. Riley is BBN's proper twink: a little shorter, skinnier, not quite the gym rat but sweet, smart and... well, I won't ruin next week's teasers. He's got some nice surprises in store.
In the meantime, writing has begun on the next update for BBN. If you happened to go with the "stay at home" route at the ...

Here is the final explicit preview image of Paolo, a new character coming soon to BBN. Enjoy (and maybe you'll catch him in Chapter 12).
Next up? Riley! We've had hunks and twunks, now BBN is getting its first real twink! I hope you find him as adorable as I do!
In addition to the images of some new characters I've been working on, I wanted to give everyone a quick development update as well. If you're on Discord and follow the #Developer_Rants channel (access is limited to Patrons as a benefit to you!), you may know I've been working on a lot of renders beyond just those for Paolo and another upcoming character. So, what's going on, and what's the status on...

Tall? Check. Dark? Check. Handsome? Check-check.
Last Friday we saw Paolo in repose but now he seems to have noticed us as well. Will he be another bad boy, berating and beating on Alex? Or more of a protector and friend? We'll have to find out.
One more pic is coming for Paolo, then the next character being revealed is going in another direction entirely. I can't wait to start showing hi...

As promised, here is the first of the NSFW teaser images for Paolo. He may look relaxed, but don't let that fool you! More to come!

With the Patreon page having been up for more than half a year, I've been looking at the benefits and wondering if you and prospective patrons would find it beneficial to tweak or adjust them. But, if I did, I want to make sure they're adjusted in a way that you would find advantageous without diminishing the value you personally put on your support.
Some of the things I've considered ...

Update: Well... the poll results are pretty overwhelmingly in favor of having at least some models with body hair. So, here's my plan:
1. Some of these assets are being used for Paolo, who you'll begin to see in Chapter 12 (currently planned as the closing chapter for Act 1) and then Act 2. However, it will be mostly with respect to a happy trail.
2. I'm go...

I hope you had a great weekend.
Last week, you got a teaser of this guy. Here's a better view.
Meet Paolo. I don't want to spoil his reveal in the game by giving away too many details, but I will say he's from Italy and has no relation to Santino. Past that, you'll have to find out in the story. We probably won't see a lot of him until Act 2, however he will have an introductory appearanc...

Update: Build 0.6 with the first part of Chapter 11 is now public. Have a great weekend!

It's been too long but the next update is finally here! Thanks for your patience and continuing support while I was on vacation and dealing with work stuff.
First things first, here are the links:
We are almost there, folks!
Last night I ran the last of the planned images for this release. It was a bit beastly, as I spent more than four hours working on one particular image that kept giving me one technical problem after another, but the bulk of this work is now done. Now I'm QCing the images, cleaning up what I can in Photoshop or re-running anything that has more serious problems, then...

Hey everyone! Thanks for your patience. I've got a bonus sneak peek for you below but wanted to give you an update on where things are with Chapter 11.
Here's what is probably the last preview before the next release. I'm hoping to have the images done this week, then add sound and do QC.
Best,
BBN
Hi all! Vacation is over and I've been back to work on BBN-stuff for the last few days.
It was an interesting week that put us squarely in the path of "Hurricane" Henri (downgraded back to a tropical storm by the time it made landfall) but was a welcome break and opportunity to recharge with my family and our friends.
I don't have too many updates for you beyond that except to say y...

There's no way to give you these sneak peeks without spoilers but, judging by the whole image, I think you'll have a good idea of what's to come... or is that who's to come? With three characters and a prop, this is probably going to be a technically complicated scene but I think it's going to be worth it.
Starting this weekend and through August 29th, I'll be on vacation so things will be a li...

Hey all! As discussed in more detail below, if you are a Patron as of August 31st, I'm going to pause billing for September.
August has quite honestly been a crazy month for me. In my salaried job, half my team was out on vacation last week, so work was fairly non-stop. This week, when I was hoping to really spend some time focusing on BBN, I've been helping pitch our company to a major prospec...

I expect this to be the last of the SFW previews for Chapter 11 (the rest will be NSFW and at the Hunter+ tiers), but this ran last night and... well... I'm very happy with it. Can't wait to show you more, though it probably won't be the set pieces you'll be looking at.
2021-08-13 12:15:28 +0000 UTC View Post
Work on the NSFW images for Chapter 11 has finally begun, and we have a new set where the scene will be taking place. A few things might be tweaked before final release, but overall I'm quite happy with this set and can't wait to show you what happens here!

"Connor, what are you lookin' at?"
Hey all! Thought I'd share another image from the work on Chapter 11. This is one of the ones that rendered last night.
Progress continues though a bit slower than I'd like. One reason is work on a BBN-related side project, the other is that half my team from my fulltime job is out on PTO this week, and today I have family coming into town. So, my ...

Alright alright alright! <Said in my sexiest Matthew McConaughey-voice.>
Y'all are overdue for a proper update on the next build, so here are the numbers:
Last week I shared a SFW preview image for this gentleman, Matthieu Dubois. Today is the first of his NSFW shots.
You can see we're getting a little bolder here with some piercings. While I usually shudder a bit at the thought of a Prince Albert, I think it looks really hot on this guy. I've got some fun ideas for his final NSFW pics and hope to have them up later this week.
We also have the final two antediluvian-tier characters planned out, and I'll be worki...

Happy Friday, all.
As I mentioned, renders for Chapter 11 are now underway. As the chapter is opening where we left off at the end of Chapter 10, some of this will look familiar, but I'm happy with how they're turning out (particularly how Nick's physique is popping in that shirt).
Anyway, have a great weekend.
Best,
BBN

Over on another site, I received a request and some feedback, suggesting that it might be nice to have more backstory for Alex. There was a feeling that, as a character, he wasn't as fleshed out as some of the other characters we're seeing.
To be honest, that has been intentional and very much by design. I have wanted to give just enough background to Alex to help set the stage for how he has f...

Hi everyone! With the end of the month approaching (which means Patreon billing on the 1st), I wanted to give you a general update on where things are.
As previously mentioned, writing on the first draft of Chapter 11 is done and I'm about 20% through with the renders based on the lines of dialogue/code. Although that's a real rough guess, as there is a sex sce...
