Added 2023-02-02 23:02:08 +0000 UTCHello everyone! You can download the latest build of By Your Hands by clicking on the link above. This build continues from the end of the last build as well as progresses Brendan's route. Here is a full list of changes made in this build:
Build 0.3.0
- About 20k words of new content have been added to the game, roughly half of which continues Brendan's route.
- Added two CGs in Brendan's route that happen depending on all the choices you've made in his route up 'til that point.
- Updated the sprites for Kamil, Connor, Brendan, Owen, and Vlad.
- Fixed a typo during the scene where Kamil is breaking the tension between Rex and Wyatt.
- Split a dialogue line into two because part of the dialogue was cut off.
- Removed instances where Rex said the word "guy" or "guys". The reason for this will become more apparent later on.
- Modified a line during the section after Rex chooses to stay quiet during Vlad's introduction.
- Added a line where Rex introduces himself to Vlad, along with modifying a line so Kamil says his name in front of Vlad.
- All of the above were changes and edits made by Nemo, except for the first two, which were caught by Gryph.
- Added the option to skip the prologue after the player has read the section.
- There's now a button to hide the GUI at the bottom of the screen. Previously there was no way to hide the GUI on android.
- All the external links to my stuff (Patreon, itch.io, etc…) are now buttons you can click on.
- Resized Kamil's sprite so it's more up to scale with his size relative to other characters.
- Added a cricket chirping sound effect at the end of Brendan's lecture.
- The last line Tucker says before Kamil first appears now has a smaller character per speed.
- The android version now has a custom icon and loading screen.
- Separated a line of dialogue that appears before Rex meets with Kamil.
- There's now a two-second pause that happens when you pick the option to say you'd prefer to stay with Kamil at the party. This is so that the music doesn't suddenly transition.
- Fixed a few typos where abbreviations weren't capitalized properly (TV, CDs).
- Went through the entire first build and added music to the entire game. Previously there were only five tracks in the entire game, two of which were variations of the title screen music. Most of the music added is royalty-free music from other sources, but there is one custom-made track added to Vlad's route.
- Added a darken effect in Vlad's route.
- Added an SFW mode to the game. This removes all erotic images and any choices that lead to erotic situations as well as removing some of the more sexually explicit text. The game is still intended for an adult audience, but you can turn this on when reading in public, when streaming on sites that don't allow adult content, or if you simply don't wish to see any sexual content.
- Added tints to the sprites during the afternoon and evening.
- Kamil now blushes during the scene where Reggie (the panda) first appears.
- Changed the start-up screen a little to include Nemo's name in it.
If you want to see all of the new content, try going through Day 2 with the various routes. Certain dialogue changes depending on what route you are on and high much the guys like you. Brendan's route in particular has two branching paths which depend on how sexual you've been acting toward him. I mention this because Day 2 of his route can seem a little short if you just go down one path. I'm just letting you guys know that it seems short because there's a lot of alternate dialogue that depends heavily on the choices you make.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the new build. Have a good day!

Just wishful thinking; one hot boss is enough
