[Download] Bindr 0.21.5 | Prologue skip is here and Jennifer is ready for departure
Had some frustrating issues that needed resolving due to stupid design decisions of the underlying engine, but was important to get them through. Thought about dropping Judy in as well, but she needs a bit more time in the oven.
You might have to press Yes! a few times if you opt in for the prologue skip. Just keep pressing it. Usually it's 2-4 times. It makes no sense whatsoever. More info HERE.
Prologue skip is a bit of a hack because why would the engine work for me when it can waste my time? Loading a simple file from a simple location, who would ever want that?
IMPORTANT: Unlike the first date with Sarah, the merge with 0.19.0 is EARLY ACCESS and will be slowly revamped to take advantage of the new systems. Soumya and the dates in France she unlocks with Leia and Helene are being held back because, like I said, this new backend for Bindr was designed to enable the continuation of the Soumya story, the most complex one. So seven encounters with her are missing, as well as the ones with Helene and Leia in inaccessible France. That's coming real soon, hopefully days.
What's new in 0.21.5
Full encounter with Jennifer, you meet her on Bindr in the US_Seattle region after setting up Bindr in Korea (use the prologue skip feature if you're a returning player). Setup a date with her and use the Mile High app to go to Amsterdam.
There is both a dominant and submissive path with Jennifer, but they're tame enough to be enjoyed by both sides. Definitely not as polarizing as dominant Rebecca or Natalie.
That encounter I messed up with Camila last time is now fixed, you can add the phone number she mentions. Write it down so you don't forget it. +52 998 312 7456 or something.
Fixed some backend nuisances that have been eating my time.
What's new in 0.21.4
Full encounter with Sarah, you meet her on Bindr in the US_Seattle region after setting up Bindr in Korea (fly back). Find the pin for the gym where she'll be in the evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Spicing it up a bit, which is how it'll be going forward. More and more "intricate", using the new systems with future girls. Expect stuff like investigating Judy's house to be interspersed on dates where you will have tasks IN THE FUTURE to use various apps to order food, transport and what not. Including branching where you pick between two locations. Just for fun, to allow more steering.

idk i forgot half the stuff, i'm delirious rn, haven't slept in idk how long
Fixed some bugs, introduced some new ones probably
Backend changes, preparing to lock everything down for save compatibility with 0.22.
What's new in 0.21.3
Service update!
Partially remastered encounter with Neha and Ryu-Jin, comes after the first two Bindr dates with Neha, you also link up with Ryu-Jin on Bindr after that, but I am still on the fence what to do about the whole xmas date converted fantasy and temporal stuff.
I've been reworking a lot of the old content and slowly preparing it to restore all the stuff in US, SK, MX, FR etc. Among those things, I've been changing some stuff to encounters, but that won't launch today for Neha and Ryu-Jin, I am a bit stuffed with working on Sarah atm.
Fixed some bugs, especially glaring ones: Fixed one where you'd be taken back to the prologue home if you clicked on the location pin on the Seoul map... Instead of being told you're already there.
What's new in 0.21.2
Ma-Ri's spell casts have a more feminine color.
Whole submissive path for the "Crossing Ma-Ri" fantasy where Ma-Ri gets to channel her inner Natalie for everyone who misses Natalie. Like proper fat path.
Ryu-Jin's remastered and converted Xmas date to fantasy. Originally Ryu-Jin first date in old game, but that is chronologically sus, so redoing that first date anew.
MC's name is no longer auto-capitalized, which breaks some nicknames.
Honestly, I'm forgetting stuff, but should only improve your experience.
What's new in 0.21.1
A thank you / gift fantasy to all of you who got us this far! It's actually an existing bit of content, planned for a thank you update, which I am releasing ahead of time featuring two "old" favorites, you may have already seen bits of it, to satiate the desire for Soumya and Farah while I am cooking up 0.22 with Sarah (and legacy parity to 0.19.0).
What's in 0.21
A wacky, over-the-top fantasy involving the gorgeous Ma-Ri where I'm exploring another direction for daydreams (where physics don't matter at all, since it's a daydream). No worries, there will be more "realistic" ones later, like before.
Fixed a bug where you could press the space bar (skip) while transitioning back to a location from an encounter and get transported to some random stuff, reported by Swag 🥰
Optimized a bunch of assets to load faster.
Fixed some mistakes.
Coming in 0.21.5
Date with Judy
Soumya remaster, including Leia and Helene in Paris.
Unfucking stuff I broke with 0.21.4 😩 (idk yet)
Known issues slated for 0.22.0 shortly
Old stuff doesn't have the right music triggers yet.
I forgot to trigger the addition of Camila's number so the second meeting is locked out until I push 0.21.5, sorry. 😭 Can't be reuploading this, already way overdue.
Bindr app messages are not correctly being "scrolled to the bottom" when you receive a message. This is a solved problem, I just forgot to copy over the code from the regular Messages app that does the same thing.
There's a bit of a kerfuffle with timing, stuff doesn't go to "Yesterday" properly sometimes. I have a fix in mind.
I chose not to integrate any save overwriting mechanics because I've been working on the core game, just make new saves. I will be bringing back autosaves and quicksaves, but differently in the future, no worries. Game content is primary right now.
It is entirely possible to mess up relationships, but I do not recommend it yet.
