This game is so complex that I don't understand myself how is supposed to work :lol: well I mean, the writer probably has a more clear vision of all the paths/scenes, but even if I know the coding and variables (what happens behind the scenes) I'm having hard time myslef figuring out what is the right sequence!
During the beta testing I'm going to add a key to print out the path you have taken while playing it, so I can show it to writer and ask if is the right one. I guess that is the only way to know if everything is all right :)

By the way, this is the game that I am looking most forward to, of everything that's being released by you in the foreseeable future. I understand that the first game was not the most successful, but I find it's the one that stands out the most of everything I've tried from Winter Wolves, and the sequel looks liek it'll stand out too.

Thanks, I think you won't be disappointed, while is a bit different in some aspects, I think is superior in others :) I'm missing last two scenes and all the endings + some last minute checks/testing (has lots of paths so I think there could be some errors), so probably a week of work!

...sort of the funny thing for me is, even if I've been more active in other forums here-
Bionic Hearts is the first game I bought from here. Through a combination of me being strange/distracted, I've never actually gotten a -good- ending in Bionic Hearts (though demo-wise, I was amused at an early ending where you essentially ignored the big plot and went on with your life)
XD But still, despite never finishing it, I hold a certain fondness for Bionic Hearts because it made me go 'I should keep an eye on this person's games~'
...the point of this message? I'm not sure. XD Maybe it's "I should really go back and finish Bionic Hearts now that the sequel is about to come out, just like I did with Heileen 1/2."

It's fun even for me because BH1 was my first attempt at making "something else". I like all kind of stories of course, and I like Heileen. But Bionic Heart setting/plot/theme is really important for me, think that Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies ever. I like sci-fi a lot in general, and as a player even more than fantasy (I like much more Mass Effect series than Dragon Age).
On one hand I confess that I'm a bit sad I couldn't write this one myself, because if I did, would have never been ready by now. On the other hand, the person I picked I think is really good for this kind of setting, even if obviously I would have done some things differently, but overall the plot is quite interesting and the "Social Boss Battles" idea was really a good addition to the classic VN gameplay :)

I admit I really loved the Social Boss Battles idea, and if it popped up in other games (whether Winter Wolves or someone else) I'd enjoy it.

Looking forward to actually trying out the social boss battles. :D

Today sent the newsletter with preorder links, since some people asked me. However, unless you really loved the first game or just want to support my efforts, I recommend waiting for the demo to decide :)

Hello!

How is BH2 romances in therms of sexyness? Like Loren or more like Heileen 3? And what about the CGs, they will be hot like Loren's?

BH2 is not focused only on romances, there are kiss/sex scenes but it's not a dating sim or in any case a game where the goal is to romance someone. But in term of sexyness, definitely more like Loren, even if there's no full nudity there are scenes with Helen in lingerie, with a towel, etc and also some sexy bonus wallpapers in the version with bonus content.

It does tend to lean towards sexy ladies, those wallpapers, but I have to say 'thanks' for including some wallpapers of the guys as well XD
