So, after reading 13 pages in one go, a few observations:

Somehow in BH1 I tried to get Helen out of the picture ASAP ;-) but with her new picture and hopefully less complaining this might change.

Whereas I liked Tanjas picture in BH1 more than the new sketches. She looks more like a robot though. Whereas julia looks much more "human".

Whoever said that there should be more female characters with well-rounded bottom: Being male myself, I cannot agree more (for purely aestetic reasons, of course :P )

It will be interesting to see how Tom works out. In BH1 he was the typical sidekick for most of the story - I'd like to see how much he can be fun when being in the lead.

Anyway, I look forward to putting money on the table for this game as well :)

Thanks, will be the second game I'll release this year after Heileen 3 yuri, hopefully in February/March max :) in some ways is similar to the first game, in others is a very different game.

Sounds good. The first BH didn't appeal to me, but I think I'll pick this up as a gift for my brother when it comes out, he really liked the first one and enjoyed finding all the different endings.

I think the first one was hard for female players because you play only from a male PoV. This one because of the multiple PoV is really different :)

I believe women do not like the SciFi part of it. Especially the dystopian future seems to be more a male thing.

But then, men do not like Virtual Novels much. And it's basically a love story too.

So this leaves BH1 somewhere in a limbo, which is a pity. As if you are ready to give it a chance it is quite addictive.

All of this IMHO, of course; backed up only by my biases ;-)

But I do like Sci-fi settings, (Mass effect, deus ex, even the up coming Cyperpunk 2077) for example I really liked PS, and very much looking forward to the sequel.

This is also only my biases as well, but a game has to really amazing for me to want to play it, if there is only a male protagonist, or I just watch someone else play it.

OK, I can see how there being only a male POV in the game turns away women. Now that I think about it. :oops: Add it to the list above. ;-)

An update: all the art was finished last week. Another musician needs to do 3 tracks but he promised would do them in 2 weeks (let's hope he keep his word this time), all that's left, beside the coding (but that's my job) is finish proofreading it and scripting the characters base expressions. The proofread is about 30% done I think, but I haven't heard from that person since Christmas so I'm going to give her 10 more days before looking for a replacement.
One of my new year resolutions is to start being more selective towards collaborators and work only with motivated/reliable people! :wink:

I made a new video:

spoke with the proofreader, and one way or another I will try to have everything done by early February so I can finish the game. This game has so many endings and several paths that will really need some careful testing :mrgreen:

Interesting video! Btw, why haven't you created a separate forum for BH2 and also which ending from BH1 is canon?

Oh and near 3:25, there is a typo. Face is written as facr. Though I'm no proofreader that was the only thing that popped up!
