February 2024 Update

B1NARY

It's 2040, and you have successfully transferred your consciousness into the internet... Now what? Maybe date some Vtubers? Things get complicated the deeper you dive. This isn't your parent's internet, that is for sure!

I have some treats for you! I have been very busy and wanted to get to a certain point before I sent you some information. We've alot to cover. [previewyoutube=QcKqrmWVuJg;full][/previewyoutube] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/2abcecd4c846e08c0574a927990344ee16e55f6b.png[/img] Patch 1.11 is a general tweak and fix patch for the demo. Several bugs have come to my attention, and I was able to push away from the main project to fix these. [list] [*] Main Menu Tweaks [*] UI Tweaks for Performance [*] Code Optimization [*] Misc Bug Fixes [/list] [i]Linux has a bug where input is partially broken on the Steam Deck. If you use Proton it works as intended. We are looking into this issue and it looks like it's invovled with how Unity exports linux builds. We will continue to troubleshoot as this will pose a problem with other handhelds not on steam. [/i] [h3]For now here are some screenshots.

We have the DLC System in place. This allows the game to be much smaller and completely free of NSFW content for people that do not prefer the scenes. With these changes, Hentai Mode has simply been renamed to "UnCut". This is to respect the players that just want to enjoy the Visual Novel Aspect. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/2b40b9b909b24e7e9b7bd8b34f37f965e9862a01.gif[/img] Players will be able to take the Hentai DLC and just drop in a folder manually, or as an add-on on Steam. Without the DLC, the "UnCut" Mode will still have questionable material that might be dangerous live streaming. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/672031a690b0b728255c12d53d7c33cdffb75709.png[/img] Code has been organized and cleaned up dramatically. The switch from Demo to main game is complete. I will be working on the PDA System, and the Fan Art Flags this month in Tandem with my other work. You guys will be given polls to decide design decisions for the PDA, as it will be the main hub of information for the player. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/92d96d6cc3df6403f1f9e3d9a7dcad62fa5fd1ce.png[/img] The next Section, "Denizen" is now in the game. This part covers the Player's "Domain" discovery as an intro to how the world works. Male and Female Routes are completely different. That's 140 pages, or roughly 4-6 hours of material added to each route. Each Route (Male and Female) is treated as separate stories. Once I have the music / effects/ and VA decided, will be moving to open up the Twatch server. Base locations that the Player will be frequenting outside of Dates. Then, in March, I will be working on Asterella Star's Dating Route. Asterella Star is the Demon Lord of the 69th Circle of Hell with a light BDSM Vibe.

He has been a Part of B1NARY Since its inception. Last month he started working on the Male MC's Domain backgrounds. Once he is complete, I animate them and add lighting like Day/Night/Midday to add more depth and immersion to keep the visual novel more "visual" in style. This includes different effects like blinks, breathing hard, other techniques we use to immerse you as the main character. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/892c6cc846a53d4a60a46b044a2830e88de50093.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/c4d17c00792ce97815ab37728fd3dec52c1cfbca.gif[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/ce8c79a788a6648cce6fb46978d2ef365c780ad6.gif[/img] Each Domain will have at least 8 backgrounds, with alternate day/night that I will animate and light. February might be light, but March will probably mean more backgrounds added to finish up the Male and Female Routes. And then we move to Star's Domain to finish it up. When he is not doing backgrounds for B1NARY, he is drawing all the Vtuber Oshi's across the internet! You should check out his collections and give him a follow! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/b1d7ae55985e17dd046178123f643281069824eb.png[/img] This concept art is the Reference Prep for [url=https://twitter.com/Comrade_Del]Comrade Del's[/url] Model Art. Reference art by Kuru! Some say he is a moth man. Others say he is human. No one knows what he looks like... A husbando Vtuber with a soft romantic side, he is a bit rough around the edges. He loves pizza, bathing in a hot tub, and enjoying night walks out in the snow. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/8e229cd5231ef049a16eb33568299292ce1671c1.png[/img] Want to know what he looks like? You will have to play his route to find out! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/88a097120112073c660da700e1c818ce9f6e3364.png[/img] A new character is being adjusted as a special NPC. We are still finalizing the backstory and details. Know that you will be the first to know. I'm excited to show you! The model is basically ready to rig. We plan to start rigging sometime in April. As for Live 2D models, Comrade Del, and Fefe is our next two models for Live 2D ART. References for Comrade Del is finalized, and we will be moving forward on his model in March. [url=https://twitter.com/CovfefeChan]Fefe, our resident punk rocker,[/url] will have her references done very soon (Hopefully in the next few weeks). Depending on Art Schedules, we will be working directly with her artist. No time frame as of yet until the reference work is finalized. Her route will be fun to write for me. I can't wait to share some details. During both of these, we have one of our new husbando, Kota the Demon, finalizing his design. B1NARY will work to help with his model to not only add animations and toggles for the visual novel, but these will be included in his streaming model. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/19fb823aafa573bd81744ce647fe68b16c1044dc.png[/img] [url=https://twitter.com/KotaTheDemonVT]Kota the Demon[/url] and [url=https://twitter.com/CielDarkrose]Ciel DarkRose[/url] (a Cameo in our project) are working with some other VA to make an abridged version of Rosario Vampire! It's pretty funny and thought I would share! [previewyoutube=AOhkgfDi8b4;full][/previewyoutube] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40086735/9d1dd1fbc2fd5c2b7b6fa20ef3f59f3800fad3b8.png[/img] Lots to do this month, but priority is the Finalization of the Audio for Denizen, PDA work, and following through the commissions that are currently underway. Fan art flags are also integrated into the PDA and I had to wait until I got to this point to finish it up. I will be updating you guys with a few more posts this month as well as long as I get to them. I will be updating Patreon with a few new tiers and adding more incentives. I will be setting up small builds for you only. These will be tiny slices to prevent story spoilers, as kind of a vibe check. So please be ready! Polls should make it this month as jump into PDA and Fan Artwork. There's also some vibe checks I want to make sure are done to ensure things are not too serious. So let me cook. Without everyone helping me out, this would have never gotten off the ground. You guys are the true heroes, and I can't thank you enough. Project Lead TherinWhitten
