Hello! Thank you so much for your words! It means a lot! Hope you enjoy the next updates! And we hope you had a nice birthday!
About your questions:
1) Not romantically (interpret that as you want ;)
2) Yes! But we want to do those moments fun, deep and plot related!
And about your hopes:
1) Yeah! Rhogan should have nipples! I will see what I can do about that!
2) Maybe something about that is coming
3) Makes sense, but Samson and Harry are too bonded right now to leave each one in their own houses.
4) That would only possible once the visual novel is completed and that might take some years yet. The monthly support is helping us getting the resources for new content, that's why we are still not considering a full release yet.
Recently finished playing the latest version available for purchase on Gumroad, and it was very enjoyable and fun. Must say though, without spoiling it of course, with where things have now left off with Samson and Rhogan's relationship, I am all the more eager and interested in seeing things happen between Thor (I hope that's the mayor's correct name) and Samson. As well as Thor being able to fulfill his wish and desire on the shall we say.... assets of Samson's he remarked about at the show earlier in the game. Well at least that's my fan theory/wishing self thinking that. Either way can't wait to see where the story continues from here. Keep up the great work.
Hello! First, thanks for your support by buying the game on Gumroad! We really appreciate it! ^_^
Samson's relationship with Rhogan (and with Zvaler if you pick that route) is gonna develop more and more through this new chapter, so I hope you find it a bit more interesting in the future. And it's kinda funny you mention Thor because more things with him are going to happen very soon! Stay tuned for the next episode of the telenovela "Passions at Kinoff's City"! (sorry for the dumb joke hehe)
No problem, always happy to support artists and creators I like. Keep on being the awesome folks your team and you are!
Oh? Sounds intriguing and exciting, looking forward to it. Although I am already heavily invested with Samson and Rhogan (and Zvaler too to a degree), Their relationship was and still is my favourite relationship to form in this game so far.
Oh? There is with Thor huh? Well I'm very intrigued and excited to see where it goes with him. As he's certainly caught my eyes with the recent events in the story thus far. Also love the joke, very on point XD.
You're welcome, and hope for the best in the coming future for you and your team.
i like to thank You for such a heartwarming, sexy and funny Novel. The Dialog are great to read, with Plot and Story keeping me engaged and "tense" (take that for what you like to imagine ;) ). The scene between Samson and Magnus about the demons of his past is beautiful written, piercing the reader's heart more and more. So does the reconnection between Samson and his Sons. Both Scene still move me to tears even after i read them a few times. Thank you, You are awesome!
While i enjoy reading Samson "hardingning problems" and the jokes around that, Samsons police job moved into the backround. Every now and when Horace and Rhogan mentions the Succes of the police, but how about given some more examples. You already established Samson as strongman, succesful officier and insightful chief who is willing to take on the front line and get his hands dirty:
and now some idea for some payoff to remind the reader how cool Samson is:
a) on the meeting between Samson and the Major and the Rich Guys in chapter 2, one of them thanks Samson for his great work, reducing crime despite the inital spike at the beginning of his arrival. [Or create tension: crimerate is barely dropping despite the Polcie force increased effort] EDIT: WOOPS i forgot that this happend in the first chapter, nevermind.
b) some Officier or Dancer admit to his collgue/friend how thanksful/impressed he is about Samson (and Magnus) dealing with a pack of rampaging drunks or bullies: "... when the bullies refuse to listen to the police warnings, the outnumberd chief rushed the biggest guy and put him down instantly. Just two minutes later all the bullies were in handcuffs or still k.o. from the brawl. That was awsome to watch!"
c) Other Officers or Character comment about the police work: Capturing some criminal, evacuating people who failed their mortage with or without incident. Letting the police officers point out their opinion about their chief and the performance of their force. This way more officers than just horace can highlight their (professional) reliationship between themselves and Samson.
Hello! Thanks a lot for your comments! I'm really glad you enjoy a lot this story! ^_^
About the cop work, I must admit we placed it on the background because chapter two is more about rediscovering the "ability" to love and feel loved, so we needed to focus more on the relationships of the characters. Now chapter three is gonna have some more action and the cop story line will get more protagonism. If you are able to play Version 3.01 (August update) you can see the officers are going to get more work to do.
Now chapter three is gonna have some more action and the cop story line will get more protagonism. If you are able to play Version 3.01
yes
After i played another playthrough from the beginning (with the Gumroad Version instead of 2.10), I edited/deleted some bits of my original post, cause
EDIT: WOOPS i forgot that this happend in the first chapter, nevermind.
Played the 2.14 version from gumroad, and had a fun time with it and loved how much the story has progressed and where it's been hoing so far with the plotline. I did have an error or two pop up, but luckily nothing at a point that was inconvenient or made me feel upset or annoyed.
I will say, without spoiling 2.14 of course. A comment Thor (I believe that's the mayor's name, if not I apologize) made near the end of it about Samson made my fan theory/fan wishes go nuts. Now I have conflicting shipping going on. Thanks for that, lol.
Keep up the great work with that game and best of luck with the endeavors so far.
Hello! Due to problems with the android files, we had to delay for a few days the release of version 2.14 and 3.0 on Gumroad. We expect to don't have more of those problems, hopefully.
I’m trying to buy it from gumroad and it gives me an error so i contacted them and this is what they said: “Our payment processor, Stripe, is having trouble verifying the creator's account and has temporarily blocked purchases to their products. We will get in touch with the creator and tell them to resolve the issue.” Please solve this so i can buy it...
Your having the same issue too I’ve been having that issue since last month I wanted to purchase the latest build but then it give me an error saying “your card was not charged try again on a different browser or internet connection” sry your going through the struggle too.
Hello! Thanks a lot for that information! We were trying to see what was wrong with some payments but we couldn't find anything, but now with you mentioning Stripe we can check that directly! Sorry for the inconvenience!
has anyone played the new build yet cause I can’t seem to buy it on gumroad bot my debit cards work and the one I have saved on their works every time when I bought the last builds but for some reason the new one isn’t thx for the help
Hi I have a question I’m trying to purchase the latest version on gum road but it won’t let me purchase it I’ve tried using both of my debit cards but it just keeps telling me “your card was not charged because of an error” I have one card saved on their that’s my current one and it’s always worked for the last versions of it but now it’s not working I’m not sure what to do now.
looks like samson is having a "hard" time huh xD.... anyway love this master piece... i delayed on reading this like last year and man, i was surprised with the story continuation... keep it up author-san ^.^
ps: PLS TELL ME THAT U ARE PLANING ON MAKING SAMSON FULL TIME TOP AND ALPHAS AMONG THE ALPHAS T.T
Hello! Yes, you can buy it on Gumroad whenever you want, it's not a subscription. Right now you can get version 2.12. Link: https://gumroad.com/strongerbonds
Sadly, no. This is a project that needs monthly development and support. With just two persons (me and the artist), all the planned story would take years (it is already taking that time) to be done entirely and a big BIG financial investment to have all the graphic content ready. So that's why we offer the game throught these ways. I hope you consider to support this project. Have a nice day!
Ok it's a shame but I understand, in this case I'll wait a little longer until the game is more advanced. thank you for answering me and have a nice day too.
I love the game but I'm having trouble downloading again after having my computer fixed I keep saying this and I only way I was able to do is buy off of I know the site that was different but not the Mac version
It kinda looks like you're having troubles downloading files. Or the problem only happens here in itch.io? Do you have the same problem with other games or just with this one?
really how do i do that?? Because if i pick the pc version and then on "i want this" it just show me the option to pay with a credit card usually it should show the pay pal option as well.
Just bought the latest android version on gumroad and I keep getting tons of errors because the file "publicpark04.jpg" is missing. I feel like I'm missing whole scenes because of this.
The file is there for Version 2.11 so it could be something else. If you have the chance, please send me here an image with the error so I can see what could be and fix it, so I can upload the files for the product you bought on Gumroad and you can enjoy the game!
The first image is the scene right before the error. The next two is the error page, top half and bottom half. If I press [Ignore] several times it eventually goes back to the story, but then further down the error occurs a few more times.

After i played another playthrough from the beginning (with the Gumroad Version instead of 2.10), I edited/deleted some bits of my original post, cause
I overread/forgot a few things.
Thanks for your replay. Made me smile.
It said that you updated the game but it is still in 2.10, there's something wrong?
Hello! We are having some issues to upload the new public version! Please wait for the announcement! We're sorry for the wait!
ok, i will wait
Played the 2.14 version from gumroad, and had a fun time with it and loved how much the story has progressed and where it's been hoing so far with the plotline. I did have an error or two pop up, but luckily nothing at a point that was inconvenient or made me feel upset or annoyed.

Hi, is it possible to buy the game to have access to all the updates without repaying each month?
Hello! Yes, you can buy it on Gumroad whenever you want, it's not a subscription. Right now you can get version 2.12. Link: https://gumroad.com/strongerbonds
So if I buy it I will have access to all versions after?
Sadly, no. This is a project that needs monthly development and support. With just two persons (me and the artist), all the planned story would take years (it is already taking that time) to be done entirely and a big BIG financial investment to have all the graphic content ready.

Ok it's a shame but I understand, in this case I'll wait a little longer until the game is more advanced. thank you for answering me and have a nice day too.
Thanks for your interest! Chapter 2 should be done in one or two months more, then we will start with Chapter 3!

Hi! I updated the game just a little ago! Enjoy!
Thanks!!! i was really waiting for it, love your job, the best of lucks
I love the game but I'm having trouble downloading again after having my computer fixed I keep saying this and I only way I was able to do is buy off of I know the site that was different but not the Mac version
Hello! What program are you using for the download?
Macos
But is it thought the browser safari or which program?
thought patreon but that is but ust have on macos before
It kinda looks like you're having troubles downloading files. Or the problem only happens here in itch.io? Do you have the same problem with other games or just with this one?
What are the Image Pack on your gumroad?
are their just image from the VN or add on to the VN
They include the sprites in HD and the illustrations used for mature scenes, from each version.
Caannot wait to see Samson with eac other having sex
Is it not possible to pay with paypal ???
You can connect your paypal to Gumroad.
really how do i do that?? Because if i pick the pc version and then on "i want this" it just show me the option to pay with a credit card usually it should show the pay pal option as well.
I found this article. Maybe it can help you: https://help.gumroad.com/article/275-paypal-connect
I was able to connect my paypal with Gumroad but it still show me just the credit card option if i wanna buy it.
Could you check now, please? We completed a step needed to activate the option
omg, Sam is finally felling that very familiar feeling, the gay panic. Loving it
Argred it all ama hehe
That's what I was going for, a gay panic caused by body reactions out of control. I'm glad you are loving it! ^_^
