Build 0.4.1 now available to the public and a bunch of stuff


Hello everyone. I hope you guys are having a wonderful day or something funky like that because today I've released a new build! No, there's no AIArt in it but there is a bunch of other stuff in it. Here's the full changelog:

  • Brendan's Day 3 has been added, which adds roughly 10k words of content to this build.
  • The start-up screen (The screen with the content warnings and the creator's logos) now has a new transition to the title screen. You can view it by not clicking anything during the start-up screen.
  • The logos for Nemo and me have been separated into their sections for the start-up screen.
  • Icons that link to my various social media have been added to the menu.
  • Some music tracks have been replaced. This includes the title screen music. Most of these are original tracks made by Brkn Hvn, who's done a lot of other original music for both BYH and Barachoda Bloom.
  • A typo that occurs during a specific scene on Brendan's Day 2 if you have a specific amount of love and lust points with Brendan has been fixed.
  • The variation of Connor's scene when SFW mode is turned on now used to play even if you had SFW mode turned off. So you'd have the regular version play out then the SFW version. This has been fixed.
  • The end of the build now links to something else instead of the mailing list. This is for an experiment.
  • Some of the text at the end of the build has been rewritten to remove typos.
  • Some of the text now only appears in Brendan's route as you can get to this section on other characters' routes.
  • There's been an oopsie where if you have gotten Owen's phone number, peeked at Brendan before coming into his office (or thought horny thoughts about him), and you have enough lust to get the lustful variant of the Day 2 scene but not max lust, the game pretends assumes you've gotten the non-lustful variant instead. This should be fixed now. You don't have to go through Day 2 again.
  • Changed the requisites to see certain dialogue appear at the end of Brendan's Day 3.
  • The Maintenance Worker and Dr. Abraham have new sprites. The maintenance worker doesn't have any expressions but hey no one's perfect.
  • Updated one of Wyatt's sprites that appeared at the beginning of Day 2. This sprite is still in WIP What is it with Wyatt and having his art unfinished?
  • Kamil now has a new outfit. You can view this outfit by coming to him at the fields on Day 1. Reggie, for some reason, is still in his jersey even though he's going to the lockers but just ignore that for now.
  • Changed the android icon because the old one sucked.
  • Replaced Connor's green shi- Oh wait I forgot to do that. Shit. Well, it will be in the next build.

As always, if you want the latest build of the game early, which has been released today and adds Brendan's Day 4, consider becoming a patron over here.

So this part is awkward because most people aren't going to read this section but it is important to say. I'm just going to say it. I'm probably going to take a break this month. This means that patrons won't be charged at the end of this month and there's not going a new build for June (May for patrons). Now, why am I taking a break? To put it simply, I have a lot of shit going on. First I am participating in OjiJam, where I will be submitting a short VN about old pirates. Here's a look at the characters (art not finished):

I swear to tiddy-fucking god that this isn't going to be a BaraJam scenario where the scope of the project becomes so big that I end up having to work on it after the jam is over and it ends up being the main target of my time and energy for lord knows how long. It's going to be a short VN, somewhere between 10k-20k words, and it's going to be finished start to finish when I submit it to OjiJam. There will be a free censored version without sex scenes and a paid uncensored version with sex scenes. But for the sake of my sanity, I would like to take some time off BYH to work on this VN. The second reason is that I am in the second to last month of the school semester and it's probably better for me if I focus on my studies. Admittedly, I am doing well and have finished over half of what I need to do for all of my classes, but better safe than sorry, you know. 

The final reason, and probably the most important one, is that my hands have started to hurt. I've started to feel some tingling and numbness in them and while I can assure you that there's probably nothing anything major going on... I still have to take caution and not risk hurting my hands any further. I am only human, therefore I am limited by my body. If my hands get badly injured, then it's over. My art career is done and I don't want that to happen. So I'm resting my hands and going to see a doctor very soon. Truth be told, I might have been overworking myself these past few days. I don't want to take a break this month because I wanted to wait for a break once Brendan's Arc 1 was finished and I also wanted to spare some time for the funny sky game. But all the signs are telling me that I should take one for at least BYH, so what can you do? Don't worry too much though, I'll be sure to come back stronger and sexier for the next build.

Another thing I'll mention is Hentai-Expo. No seriously, hear me out. Hentai-Expo is an online event where various erotic games get shown off. Submissions are now closed, but when they were open anyone with an erotic game can submit their game and have it be featured at the live stream. I just so happened to submit BYH to the event. Please consider watching the stream as it features an exclusive trailer never shown anywhere else. You can watch it over here at April 15th, 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm PST. Don't miss it.

Finally (I don't know why there's so much shit going on but we take those) is the Queer Games Bundle! For those of you who don't know, the Queer Games Bundle is an annual bundle where queer creators submit their games to it, and everyone who participates will receive a portion of the profits earned. If you are a game developer with your own game on itch.io, I highly recommend you submit your game to the bundle as they accept free games and you earn a decent amount of money. You can submit your game here.  Submissions end on April 22nd, so you better hurry! If you aren't a developer, then I highly recommend you buy it as it goes to everyone who submitted their project to the bundle. Last year, they raised over $200000 so it would be great if they surpass even that this year. I have submitted three VNs to the bundle. One is the uncensored version of the OjiJam game, another is a special version of BYH that contains the latest version up until the bundle stops being available for purchase, and the last one is Barachoda Bloom. Again, please look out for the bundle when it comes out, you don't want to miss it.

That was a lot, but the important thing is that got through it all. Have a good day and see you later!

Don't fret. I know my limits and I won't be ending my career anytime soon.

God damn, the comments are already teasing me. Anyway, I hope your hand gets better, and you'll be delivering us even more juicy boobas and butts

Don't worry. I'll take care of myself to make sure I can continuing working on this project. There's nothing in this world I want more than to keep making VNs with beefy guys with huge tits and ass.

Take as much time as you need <3

Thanks :D

Is this an April's fools joke? Because if so, I don't find it funny... Every year most developers do this and it gets old...

About your hand, it's probably because you're using your wrist too much when you're drawing.

Lots of artist might suffer tendinites there because of constant use of the wrists. To remedy that (or diminish) you need to use your shoulder more.

Here's more info about how to hold the pencil (digital pen):


PS: you don't need to adjust your grip to a Hand-over grip; keep using your grip but just adapt your wrist to shoulder more when drawing.
