[Download HOTFIX] Bindr 0.25HF BFU | Female protagonist, Nia, Michelle, Leia, Lisa, Neha...

0.25 HOTFIX:

Code for prologue skip wasn't triggering. (HOT) Fixed. If you end up being bounced back for some reason, just keep trying until it wedges into it. There's absolutely nothing to be done, the engine would have to be forked and changed. It allows itself to silently fail a load command without cause and roll itself back. Usually works on first go, though.

This is the last BIG update / change we're doing to the game this year, seriously took it out of me (0.20 previously took almost 5-6 months). Mostly unforeseen consequences and issues. Took around 300 kWh to pump out.

Going back to weekly releases.

0.25 is significantly changed on the backend and compatibility with any previous saves is non-existent. Use the prologue skip. FEMC is all new anyways.

What's new in 0.25

[FEMC] Opening establishing FEMC's place in the world

Establishes freedom for FEMC to explore Bindr while keeping her employment intact. I thought about making everyone go to work every day and only exploring Bindr after, but that would get old quick as a minigame.

Also explains how Neha learned about male MC and that their kismet encounter at the airport on the way to Seoul was less fate and more... Predeterminate.

[MC] D encounter with Lisa

Not to be considered a date because Lisa's life is complicated. She wants to experience more of what BDSM is about, without strings attached (unless they're of the physical persuasion). Should be a fun burn. You have to add her phone number to message her after the WNKR HQ fling, so pay attention there.

She's a switch, but is yet to discover that about herself. Future polls will have D/S choices for her.

[MC] D/S date with Neha

This is part of the arc where the timelines sync up and male MC reaches the New York region. Results in Neha's crib becoming his "base" in NYC.

[MC] Date with Leia

More on the chill side, a bit of exhibitionism and a change of pace.

Find her in Paris after your encounter with her and Jessica.

[FEMC] D date with Nia

The prosecutor from the Plea Deal thingie, you meet her on Bindr and setup a coffee date and things go from there.

[MC] Encounter with the pro domme Michelle.

MC will have to use Michelle's Bindr bio and make some pretty big concessions to get an experience with her since she doesn't match with male switches and submissives on Bindr, only dominant male MCs (this is not done yet).

Future polls will include MC or FEMC tags.

[FEMC] Encounter with the pro domme Michelle.

FEMC will match with her, should she desire to do so, on Bindr. She will be offered a session pro bono because she's pretty and a girl. Dominant path won't exist for FEMC with Michelle because Michelle is not into that.

Future polls will include MC or FEMC tags.

[MC/FEMC] New region New York unlocked.

FEMC starts and is stuck in the New York region.

MC must progress Neha's relationship to unlock NYC, where he'll 'crash' at her crib. This also allows synchronization of the two character timelines.

New robust prologue skip screen when selecting male MC, although the underlying engine is still opinionated ass.

Restyled UI to be more on the colorful style of Bindr itself, no more Bindr dev cat.

Revamp of underlying code to adjust for the new female protagonist.

Updated engine to the latest version, hopefully improving performance.

Resampled the images to keep the download under 6 GB. No perceptible quality loss.

[PARTIAL] I am adding in switches for content avoidance as some people have irritation for having to suffer through feet content, which is fair.

What's missing in 0.25

I've had a VRAM exhaustion issue followed by a corruption issue with some of the thicc custom morphs I made for Camila and Sarah and spent a few days recreating them from previous encounters. Haven't had a chance to render it out without delaying 0.25 even further.

The remaining encounters we decided on. Gonna drop it in 0.25.1.

Voicing is still a fat work in progress and I am holding it back a bit.

Finalized artwork for FEMC's phone, such as custom app frames etc.

I am working on an ambient music theme for FEMC to fit her character more.

Out of an abundance of caution to avoid any kind of suspension, I've removed the previous post due to it featuring some spicy Michelle FEMC exchanges which might not be acceptable on a public post.
