Yep, the ones that currently don't have participation with other guys may have an optional path introduced later, but this will definitely be completely avoidable and won't be happening off screen either if you choose not to go for it.

Any future paths would be similar to Mary's one, where it's a clear inclusion/exclusion of other guys participating.

Probably another couple months.

You can set the relationships at the beginning:

Mother --> Son --> Sister --> Brother --> Daughter --> Aunt --> Uncle --> Nephew --> Niece --> Cousin --> Father

Hey, most of the girls do not have an NTR or Sharing path. Of the nine girls, currently only Scarlett, Mary, and Bella have paths involving other men. Mary also has a clear non-sharing path. Scarlett and Bella do have a non-sharing option, but they are having sexual relationships with other guys, but that would be all be pretty much done off screen so you wouldn't see it. Gabriella is also sharing, but hers is MFF. It is possible I may introduce something in the future with the other girls, but it would all be optional and avoidable.

No worries. I've uploaded the new version. I installed 1.4 on my device and updated to 1.5 and it worked for me so should be good now.

Sorry it's going to be pretty much impossible to fix this without your save since I'm unable to reproduce the issue and there's no error codes. I don't really have anything to go off.

Could you describe what happens, like if you see any error messages or anything? If you could provide your save file where the crash happens that would be great. 

I assume you're using Android? I did compile from a different computer and generated new keys so that's probably the issue. I'll recompile with last version's key and upload tomorrow.

Hey thanks! Really appreciate you posting!

Well, from my end, the difference is not that big so far, but will have more scenes coming up that are quite different. Essentially the corruption route is a way to see more hardcore content. I would've done it for more of the girls, but I don't have the time and Tahlia seemed like the best fit for that kind of path as there is the biggest juxtaposition between her two paths.

😊

Hey thanks for letting me know. A quick Google search has just informed me that 2gb seems to be the limit for most devices. I'll look at compressing more for Android releases, and I'll probably release an updated version by this weekend.

Not everyone has the exact same interests you do. I would love to cater for all these different possibilities, but alas I am a simply one human being.

I haven't really made a rejection functionality for the paths. You can reject Bella and Gabriella because a third person becomes intertwined in their paths. Evelyn has history but won't have others if you don't want. Scarlett is obviously sex-focused so I didn't bother with her. At the moment you basically just don't do the quests if you don't want that content.

No other guys for Gabriella's path. Not doing one path just means they won't intersect with other paths.

All girls except Bella, Scarlett, and Gabriella will have paths for having sex only with you, but those three do have paths where at least you won't see sex scenes with other guys.

I agree with most of what you said, but that path isn't just a fetish. For me, Mary was the best one for the NTR option, because it represents the extreme regression and essentially falling back into the dark pit forever after being given a glimpse of the light. As the mc, the choice was yours to pull her out fully and be her shield or fall in with her.

I certainly could've written it better as I do not claim to be a particularly good writer, but I feel the concept is still faithful to Mary's theme.

Anyway, that's the last thing I'll say. Appreciate the insight!

Easiest way would probably just be messaging me on Discord. My username is zelathorngames. Alternatively you could also just upload it on like Mega or Drive and share me a link for it.

Not really. It's pretty straightforward.

Hey thanks for posting. Do you mind uploading your save where that happens somewhere I can download it or sending it to me on Discord or something?

First of all, I appreciate you posting in a way that wasn't just hyper critical and hateful for no reason. Everyone has their own preferences and it's just unfortunate that we have some misalignment. But I don't really understand specifically what you said about Mary. It sounds like you dislike the option of going for an NTR path? But for Mary in particular, there's a very clear path where she doesn't have anything to do with other guys, so I'm a little confused as to what you dislike there. Do you feel like even having the option of NTR is a negative thing?

Thanks I really appreciate that! Probably quite low chance for pregnancy content though.

I appreciate the offer. Most of these bugs were already in the game but i haven't found it nor has it been brought to my attention, so I don't think there's much to test as I release new updates. Just if you find any bugs, let me know as you've been doing! Could you send me your saves in discord for the two new bugs you found, and also if you find more bugs, if you could send them through discord that would be much appreciated!

go into the 1extra.rpy file in your game folder, find the "label a_weekend_morning1:" line, then just remove the 1 and it should work

all of that is avoidable, but i can't exactly cater to every single person's tastes, so sometimes you just lose out on content, and a single kiss is hardly ntr

the peter alexia thing is to highlight there is history there and doesn't go further than that. im not entirely sure how you can count a single kiss as cuck content

Thanks! So, that update button is just for me in case I need it for something, so you don't need to use it!

Do you mind uploading your save file where that happens somewhere for me or sending it to me over discord or something?

Did you use the right save when updating? Could you tell me the error you get, or even better if you could you send me your save where that happens in discord or something?

yeah, i just really thought you asked because you were interested in it, that's why i said it like that

Any NTR or sharing in my game is completely optional and avoidable. I'm sorry I didn't have the current sexual content on this page though. I actually have it on my Patreon, but I just forgot to put it here as well.

Some sharing currently, lots more coming. At the moment only Mary has an NTR option, but it just started in this current update so the content isn't really there so far, but I might also add more paths, I'm not 100% sure yet

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that

Not really, no. Currently at most you can be a little forceful

yeah sorry the hotfix 1 was more meant for a new game as the wrong label gets baked into the save quite early. I've uploaded a better hotfix 1 that should fix it in place so you don't have to use an earlier save

So, I did have an android version in the past, but then one day it just stopped working and I couldn't figure out why. However, the good news is since you asked about it, I decided to try it on a different computer and it works! So, unless something goes terribly wrong, there'll be one for the next release

Thanks for posting. Do you mind uploading your save file where that happens somewhere so I can take a look at it?

Should be fixed with the hotfix file

Thanks for the catch! It should be fixed with the hotfix file now. You'll probably have to use an earlier save from at least the previous day since it's probably baked into it

Overview:
Bonds of Love is a slow-paced adult visual novel, meaning you will not be mindlessly lusting after everything that walks on two legs, but rather will come to realise you want to be involved with the girls around you. You live out your school life in a house with three women, but meet many more, whose relationship to you is for you to decide. You can stick with the default landlady, flattie stuff, or you could be a little bit closer.
Choices matter in this game, but you won’t be locked into your path. Want to push a girl at the start but then be nice to her down the line? You can, and the game will often reflect that change. Now, this isn’t a game that allows you to end up in 10 different iterations depending on your choices, but your choices will make a notable difference, with no right or wrong ‘choices’ such as those where you can bizarrely get a game over or gate you out of content.
