Bound to College
Ron for the Rescue - v. 0.6.9
Bound to College » Devlog
Like I have announced some while ago, the new Update 0.6.9 is now available with a lot of new content:
- Fresh Chapter with Ron: Experience an all-new narrative where Ron comes to the rescue, alongside the possible paths with Nathan and Ned. Each choice you make now holds more weight than ever before!
- New Music Tracks: Immerse yourself deeper into each scenario with new music, enhancing the atmosphere and your connection to the story.
- Bug Fixes: Improved gameplay stability and fixed bugs for an even smoother experience navigating college life.
Unlocking Rescue Routes:
- Ron's Route: Achieve a relationship level above 5 with Ron, higher than with Ned, and make sure your actions at the party and afterparty reflect well on you.
- Ned's Route: Secure a relationship level of 3 or more with Ned, return his book in the classroom, and avoid being just friends.
- Nathan's Route: Nathan will come to your rescue if the conditions for Ron or Ned's paths are not met.
Availability:
- Early Access for Patreon Supporters: A huge thank you to my Patreon supporters for making this journey possible. Your early access starts now!
- Public Release: The full chapter will be available to all once the next chapter, "News", is completed. The adventure continues!
I am sorry it took me so long. I am back on working at BtC again, so the next update should not take as long (I hope).
Thank you all for your ongoing support!

was glad to see the new update enjoyed the new stuff must be tuff keeping all the stories in your head GREAT JOB
Thank you so much!
I know it takes a lot of time and effort to create on ongoing story, especially one with multiple paths to follow. And the fact that you create this story plus a few others makes you a very busy person. Plus you make it available for those who cannot afford to pay, you're very generous and awesome for doing that. The stories you create and willingly share lets us escape realty for a little while. So if an update takes a little while, then so be it! I appreciate the work you do and grateful you share it. I'll happily wait until it ready.
and you're leaving your words of sympathy for what? it's obvious the developer doesn't care about you or any of their other fan base or they would do a better job than the mediocre job theyre doing at getting updates out
Words of sympathy?
Do you even know what sympathy is?
How about appreciation?
I can see that you're commenting from a new account that's only been active for 3 days. Judging by all your negative comments to anything remotely positive, I'm assuming you were banned for being an entitled a* *hole.
I'm curious why you feel like it's your right to control when the creator releases updates.
Have you ever considered any of the following reasons:
1. The creator might be working on this project with little to no help or completely by himself.
2. Maybe he's going through a tough time in his life and can't fully dedicate his time solely to this project.
3. Maybe the creator has a full-time job and can't devote every waking moment to pleasing people like you.
4. Maybe the creator has a life and deserves to live it.
5. Maybe the creator is taking care of children or family members and is mentally drained.
6. Maybe the creator isn't into it anymore because of negative comments like yours.
7. Maybe the creator is tired of people acting like his boss over the work and content that he creates on his own.
8. Maybe the creator needed time to recharge his creativity so he could give his best work.
9. Maybe the creator was sick and not feeling well.
10. And for my last reason, Maybe the creator was busy with his 2 other projects. One just had a massive update and the other is a newly released Demo.
I'm willing to bet it's reason #10.
I have no doubt you'll have a huge issue with my response and I honestly don't care. The fact is, you don't create or assist with these updates and have no right to criticize the creator on the timeline to release updates.
I don't think you realize how much time, effort, and creativity goes into making a visual novel. Especially one with multiple paths to follow. It's complicated work that takes a lot of time to make it come together. I'd really like to see you try creating one. I'm guessing your impatience would cause you to fail miserably.
What are you hoping to accomplish with your negative comments?
Do you think it'll make the creator bow down to serve your needs?
Do you think it'll push them to work faster?
Do you think attacking anyone with something positive to say makes you the bigger person?
Do you really think your words will influence anyone to jump on your negative bandwagon?
And lastly, do you really think your words influenced the update to come out any faster?
It's cool that you like the work the creator does but I highly suggest that if you don't want to wait on updates, then download novels that are already completed. Or maybe create your own visual novel and leave people alone. Maybe you'll be a happier person and stop bullying others. Stop being a jerk.
I would love to have enough free time as you obviously do to sit around and type up such bullshit that nobody is gonna care to read.
I have about as much free time as you do, yet I don't go around being a jerk to the creators with several negative comments. All I'm saying is, respect the creator and his work or move on to completed projects to avoid the stress it seems to cause you. Otherwise, you just wallow in misery and have a really sad life.
Just a tip: I got tired of waiting for an update so I downloaded around 17 more visual novels. The updates come out at different times, which always leaves something new for me to enjoy. I also play the games from every route and pathway possible. I'm not telling you to do that, but it's a good way to keep yourself entertained while waiting.
Oh wow, you understand the struggle. It is a little bit of everything except for no. 7.
Yes, not every feedback is positive, but the negative ones are also valuable. He is frustrated about the update frequency, which he only cares about because he wants to play the game. He literally can't wait for the next update to come out.
So, he is invested, and it would be worse if he did not care.
There is not much I can do about it since I am already working on the games each day. Especially for BtC, it gets increasingly complicated with each update because of all the decisions the player can make, which affect the game's future development. So you cannot be best friends with Ned, for example, when he kicked you in the nuts (literally).
On top of that, many changes are not even visible at first glance, like the rework of the relationship with the headmaster. You'll have to play the game anew from the start even to notice it. Or the multi-language support won't affect English players at all.
So, if you look only at the new content, you might think it is not worth the waiting. And many chapters have completely different content based on your previous decisions.
Like after the wrestling match, you can be rescued by Ron, Ned, or Nathan. After that, you will visit the headmaster at his home with Ron or Julian. And you - as the player - have no say in it. The game will not prompt you to load the chapter to match your previous decisions. And if you are with Julian, you might miss the basement milking part if you are not on good marks and terms with the headmaster.
So, in the end, you might think the update is just short-lived, while there is a lot of content you potentially just missed.
From a business perspective, it is stupid to do such a thing. Still, I want the player's decisions to impact the story, so you might be presented with a very different experience depending on how you play the game.
I certainly understand being invested in a story and the impatience of waiting for an update but I also know that life happens whether you want it to or not. I just don't like seeing negativity directed at or against someone who's sharing so much without requiring anything in return. I just wanted to leave a message of support so you know that your work is valued and highly appreciated. I just wasn't expecting and couldn't understand why anyone could possibly have an issue with that.
Thanks for the info on the paths, I see that I missed a few fun situations to get into. I'm looking forward to the basement milking scene. I have several saves going and one for each love interest. I also have saves going for if I want to play like a total slut or the wounded boy being taken advantage of by the headmaster. There are so many ways to play and it's impressive how you can keep them intertwined and still make sense.
I can't wait to see the next update with the interview, I want to see the headmaster squirm his way out of it and maybe face the wrath of his wife. I know I shouldn't but I love her character and how he's afraid of her. Her mere presence commands immediate respect and fear.
It would be really hot and fun to see a scene where the wife forces Julian, Ron, and the MC to humiliate the headmaster as punishment for allowing the gym and chastity situation to get out of hand potentially leading to an investigation and a lot of unwanted attention. I'm sure the boys would love to take out their frustration on the headmaster. Maybe Julian in his puppy gear can hike up his leg and piss all over him. lol
It would also be very interesting to see the wife take a liking to Ron and teach him how to command respect and watch a close bond form between them. He could see her as a mother figure willing to accept all the support, love, and attention he'd never gotten from his own mother. She could view Ron as a protege and teach him what it means to be a Dom and to never be walked on all over again. Just think of all the sex scenes you could have fun with if Ron were being directed to dominate Julian and the MC.
You mentioned from a business perspective, about people missing out on content and assuming it's just a short update. I have an idea that would solve the issue but of course, it means more work, lol.
Some games have a map or walk-through that provides players with the pathways to access all of your content. Similar to the walkthrough that SpaceCorpsXXX has. It's very easy to follow.
Have you thought of or considered this idea?
I know you write it out for everyone but sometimes seeing a map with all the options is easier to follow. It might also increase gameplay.
Thank you for your support and your understanding. As for the paths, a proper walk-through is often requested but not easily created. I am working on some documentation to get an overview for myself, first and foremost, since the different branches are becoming quite complex. The ultimate goal is to be able to showcase in one form or another the consequences of certain decisions and provide some "cheat sheet" if you want to discover all the content I have maliciously hidden behind different layers of protection so they only appear when they match the player's approach.
I like your idea of bringing in the headmaster's wife in a different context. Making her "play" with her husband is an interesting idea, and I think it could be hilarious. I need to find a way to weave it into the story...
I am not sure if the loving mother role suits her, however. But the idea of her bonding with one of her husband's toys might give it some interesting dynamics. She might even hide it from her husband since she complained to him about bringing strays in...
What do you think?
I get your frustration; I feel myself often enough. I think: Okay, I should be able to finish this in a week or two, and it feels like it takes forever. On top of that, I have no IT background, I am not a programmer, not a 3d artist, just a hobbyist, who enjoys creating stuff. So sometimes it takes me forever to get even simple stuff done, simply because I have to learn these things on the go.
I DO care, however, about my fan base.
Thank you! This post really made my day!
quite the short update for the large amount of time we waited for it, nethertheless i look forward to the next update, which is hopefully soon, and by soon i do not mean multiple months
what an ungrateful little s. you are
i'd be greatful if it didn't take half a year for a very small incompelete update
Let's keep it civilized, okay? Yes, it is not the biggest updater ever, and I understand the frustration.
I have been doing a lot of rework behind the scenes, and releasing the "Heartless Corporation" Demo also consumed much time.
The next update will be about Ned, and I plan to rework the whole relationship with him. I plan to make it so you can have a third option: Between Love and Hate, you can be "just" friends with him.
So, the good news:
I am back working at "Bound to College" again, and there will be a new chapter with Ned at the beach.
The bad news:
I have no idea how long it will take me to do so, and the rework might be more complicated than anticipated without adding a whole lot of new content for returning players.
No promise on the time frame, but I am back at working on BtC, so the next update shouldn't take too long - I hope. o.O
i'll check it later for sure, seems good but i gotta see it ingame
