Bound by Night [Ch.16 Part2] [BoundByNight]
Overview:
Bound by Night is an adult Visual Novel set in the modern world with supernatural elements. It includes six core characters as well as four patron-sponsored characters, all of whom are romanceable. The story combines elements of the the psychological horror and erotic genres, with explicit sex scenes between men and dominant/submissive relationships that can evolve over the course of the story.
Bound by Night has its own mythology around the supernatural elements. It takes place in a world just like ours — without magic — but in which vampires and werewolves exist. Over the course of the story, the main character will learn how these creatures came to be and how much more dangerous they could become.
Alex is in the lead role. He just finished medical school, moved to a new city, and has begun his residency. Overworked and overwhelmed, he’s questioning whether this is really what he wants in life when his boss orders him to take a night off and… get off.
Nick is the secondary POV character and parts of the story are told from his perspective with RPG choices for dialogue and character interaction. He is a little older than Alex, works as a detective for the city police force but moonlights as a vampire hunter. Whereas Alex is the naïve newcomer unfamiliar with the supernatural, Nick is the jaded veteran.
Over the course of the story, Alex will travel to other parts of the world, meet more characters, unravel the secrets of the vampires who rule the world from the shadows, and — in the end — make a choice on what to do with the knowledge he has accumulated.
- Added Chapter 16, Part 1
- Added pre-splash loading progress bar for PC/Mac, so you’ll have a better sense of when the game is loading and how much longer it’ll take. I’m looking into something similar for Android but it’ll take a little longer.
- Updated splash screens
- Changed icons for PC/Mac; Added new icons for Android
- Fixed typos throughout the game

- Changed title font to Forum-Regular
- Changed transitions for entering and exiting main menu from within an active game
- All new content for Chapter 15,
- A new consent sequence the first time you launch the game, which lets you choose whether to see explicit content with shifters. After you make this initial selection, you can change it in the Preferences menu, and
- A variety of bugs and typos fixed in earlier chapters, including a bad transition from a scene with Seth at Connor’s cabin to the garage in Mayhew’s tower.
- The new consent sequence should make it much more transparent and reduce confusion as to whether players have opted in or out of explicit content with shifters.
As for the numbers, this is definitely the biggest update I’ve ever done. That’s not an excuse for the amount of time it took to get it to you, but it is huge. We’re looking at almost 2,600 lines of script and code, and more than 700 images! All of that said, there was still more I wanted to do with this update, but at a certain point I have to let go. (Maybe I’ll do a mini-update in a week or two.)
