The mentioned Q&A
So... there were more questions in the Q&A, but I picked the ones I thought were most relevant to include here. Of course, not everyone is on Discord, so if you have any questions, feel free to drop them in the comments and I'll answer them. Enjoy reading!

Q: How many chapters or seasons will BT have?
Right now, the game is planned to have 2 seasons, with 5 chapters each (both seasons are already prepared). A third season is still up in the air, but it's not impossible
Q: How important is my love interest in the game?
Each love interest will get the amount of content they deserve. Everyone gets equal attention. I don’t plan on making any distinctions, because each character has something unique to offer
Each love interest has a unique storyline based on the main story of the game. For example, if the game has 10 love interests, there will be 10 unique stories coming from them. These stories are written and planned, but I won’t be providing detailed information just yet. There’s still plenty of time for that
Q: When is the Steam release for BT planned?
After Chapter 3 is released, BT will be available for wishlist on Steam. Once Season 1 is complete, the game will be fully available on Steam, along with some extra content
Q: Will Olivia have any NSFW scenes?
Olivia had her share of NSFW content in the old Chapter 2. However, due to a lack of experience with coding and game development, this content ended up feeling forced and upset players who didn’t want to see it (even though there was no bad intent behind it). Because of this, I decided to scrap the idea.
That said, I’m trying to be fair to everyone. If players give feedback saying they want to see scenes with Olivia, I don’t see a reason not to include them. However, it's crucial to note that no NSFW content (not just with Olivia) will ever be forced. Whether it’s random situations or something with your love interest, there will always be an option to skip - you’ll only see what you choose to see
Q: Will other love interests get jealous if the MC doesn’t choose them?
I base some reactions on how I would react myself. To be honest, I’ve always thought that kind of behavior (like jealousy) is childish. I mean, in the sense that I wouldn’t be jealous of someone who’s in a relationship while I’m not (what goes around, comes around)
There will definitely be some reaction, but I wouldn’t call it jealousy. Besides, there’s only one love interest who would logically have a reason for any reaction, and that’s Samantha. But again, I wouldn’t call it jealousy
Q: Wouldn't it be better for development to get help from another dev so we don't have to wait too long for updates?
Development and long update times are issues that, in my opinion, will never fully go away. I usually don't comment on these things because I don't see the point. Even if you manage to get an update done in three months, you’ll hit a massive roadblock with rendering, which can drag out the timeline for any dev
Some games release updates 5-6 times a year. To players, it definitely looks great that their favorite game is getting update after update. I get that, but it's important to look at the size of those updates. Most of the time, those updates include 200-300 images. If you add up those 5-6 updates, you end up with roughly the same amount of content (1,800 images) as a single update for a game where you might wait a whole year. In the end, there’s no real difference except that you’re getting one big update instead of several smaller ones
But... some might say that releasing smaller updates more frequently is better. Well, not for everyone. I’m definitely in the group of players who’d rather wait a year and get a full update than have one chapter split into a million pieces, where by the third update I’ve forgotten what happened in the first one, and by the last update, I’ve forgotten what happened in the third. Everyone has their own preferences. Everyone probably has their own reason for doing things a certain way, and as a player, I always respect that
And of course, I want to point out that I don’t consider any of this right or wrong, and I don’t devalue anyone’s work. Doing small updates isn’t bad, and neither is doing big ones - it’s all about how each person prefers to do it. At the end of the day, every dev puts in the same amount of work regardless of the method they choose
Q: What was the reason you started making games?
I’ve always been creative, but I never planned on making games. I used to be into music (I played the piano for 11 years), video editing, and working with Photoshop, which eventually led me to want to create some art. It really consumed me, and my ex pushed me to try making a game (she plays AVNs). I don’t even know the details of how it all came together, but here I am, haha

Thank you, Dream's Ex 🤣.If she hadn't given the initial push, we would have never gotten BT. . That was a GREAT read! We should do this again 😁! I have some questions. Character Design Inspiration? Every character looks unique! How did you come up with the story of BT? Was it planned from the start, or did you have other ideas in mind for the story? Will our boy Martin get some love action? Just joking, or am I... The hardest part while working on the game... writing, coding, rendering, animations, etc. And which is your favorite? I had more questions (lingering in my thoughts somewhere), but that's all I can think of at the moment 🤣.
Character Design Inspiration? Everything comes from my head. But I have to admit, when creating some of the MILFs recently, I did look at references for certain facial features and such How did you come up with the story of BT? Was it planned from the start, or did you have other ideas in mind for the story? Yeah, the story of BT was the very first thing that came to mind, and I've stuck with it ever since. There’s also another story and game called BREATHE. That one might come after BT is finished. It's very different and quite unique Will our boy Martin get some love action? Just joking, or am I... Nothing like that has crossed my mind yet, but maaaaaybe... You never know The hardest part while working on the game... writing, coding, rendering, animations, etc. And which is your favorite? Creating scenes is probably the worst part, especially with weaker hardware. It’s not just slow rendering times; you also have to deal with lag, crashes, and all that other crap. So yeah, this part is a real pain But my favorite part is probably the post-work. That’s when I get to see everything I’ve created come together, and I get this little sense of pride, haha
Keep On Keepin' ON!!
