I usually have a bunch of pre-made PC’s with wildly different personalities for the sole reason of playtesting
Anyway, I read Honor Bound a few weeks ago, and even though I liked your previous books as well, this one is a personal favorite so far! Just being able to play an adult in a school is such an immensely different experience, and I really like this setting. I played through like 4-5 times just to see the romance with different characters, and they are all very unique. Can’t wait for the full release
And the beta testing has begun! Please sign up if you have time to play and give feedback - it will be incredibly helpful for me making the game the best it can be!
And a few more notes:
In the meantime: I’ve taken down the Chapter 1-7 public demo, and have put up an up-to-date Chapter 1-3 demo. Because the current version isn’t compatible with Dashingdon, it’s only available to play from the above link on itchio - the Dashingdon page links to the itchio game. During beta testing, I’ll do my best to keep the public demo updated.
For Sneak Preview Patreon subscribers, I’ve left up the early access Chapter 1-7 to play before release (this version is somewhat out of date, but I figure if you would like an Honor Bound fix in the meantime it will be a little preview of what’s to come later). I’m not sure when that will come down, but it will be up at least until the end of beta testing. Sneak Preview subscribers can go to this post to get the link.
I’m going to be saying this a lot, but I’m so grateful for your feedback, cheerleading, and support while making this game. Thank you so much.
Congrats on getting Honor Bound ready for beta testing! Such a huge milestone! I hope you get some fabulous feedback and that the revisions bring you joy.
@Alex_Parker_Roberts I remember your super helpful feedback about Royal Affairs! I appreciated it then and I appreciate that you’ve sent in an application this time around I’m not having much of a downtime as I’m on tenterhooks waiting for playtester thoughts to come in, but it’s a different kind of brainpower to use!
@leiatalon Thank you so much! I’m somewhat nervous, as I always am around this time, but hopeful that people will enjoy it too.
@HarrisPS oh I quickly submitted the beta test request email as soon as I saw that it was open for beta testing. I really got hooked on your series.
I know it’s hard not to be nervous and anxious as you wait to hear back from the beta testers.
So maybe enjoy the downtime after beta testing it done, like put your feet up binge watch your favorite stuff, have ice cream and bask in the success of another release in the Creme de la creme series
I always meant to catch up on the newer chapters of HB but, y’know, life happens. Since I’m not confident in my beta skills, right now, I’ll be happily patiently waiting for the full release, so I can play the whole game. Maybe I’ll replay some of the others, in the interim. I always meant to do another PT of Noblesse Oblige.
A pox on your house for making me want to romance a priest😂
Ugh, why do I like Savarel? I hate loving him but you made me. I blame you, hot priests should not be a thing. But I guess I’m gonna be a choirboy for at least for one playthrough. This is not criticism, you just made me like a character I normally wouldn’t, so good job you confused my instincts and engaged my open-mindedness.
Well, I absolutely went for Raffi first, adore him, then I had to go for mr grumpy Khorza, cuz yeah, I’m into that, all the while that damn priest (and the outlaw) were gnawing at me. It’s a 4+ RO interest which means absurd amount of playthrough.
The next beta update is up! You can check out the fixes or sign up if you’d like to here. There have been a few annoying bugs, a couple of silly ones, lots of adding small things throughout, and many many typos and tweaks.
I’ve had absolutely invaluable comments that have been helping me immensely. It’s massively appreciated!
Hey folks! I’ve played demo few months ago and loved it! Now it’s in closed beta but I keep seeing a mention of Denario - another RO, but I have no idea who it is (saw that it’s a childhood friend in description though)! Are they gender selectable or do they have set gender?
Thanks so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed the demo a while back! As Denario doesn’t appear until a bit later than the other characters, there’s less detail about him in the first post.Denario’s a male character who’s an old friend of the MC’s, and is always the same age as the MC. He has less screentime than the other romanceable characters, but is romanceable. He can be romanced monogamously or alongside others - either in an agreed-upon non-exclusive relationship, or secretly romancing him while dating someone else.
I’m not having much of a downtime as I’m on tenterhooks waiting for playtester thoughts to come in, but it’s a different kind of brainpower to use!
I have indeed had some very nice salted caramel ice cream tonight so that’s been lovely!
