I just got back to coding it, and I'm only doing a little bit at a time. The next update might take awhile, as we need a few sprites to be made before we can make Volume II, specifically the Yakuza, Dr.Sakura, the Student Council president, and others.<br />
<br />
Good news though, the download links to the first volume have been fixed, although I do not know how long they will last. See the <a href="http://bdh-vn.blogspot.com/2012/05/volume-i-released.html">Volume I post</a> for MD5 sums.<br />
<br />
<strike><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?t43ohtl4fddpw38">Part 1</a></strike><br />
<strike><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?alll3culh33wf9y">Part 2</a></strike><br />
<strike><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?rr0g4usw9gd8wkz">Part 3</a></strike><br />
<br />
Mediafire links have stopped working (again), I will work on fixing them eventually.<br />
<br />
The 4shared mirror links however, still function:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.4shared.com/rar/DSs0tkjU/KBDH-VN_Vol_Ipart1.html">Part 1</a><br />
<a href="http://www.4shared.com/rar/c6QM8Yv4/KBDH-VN_Vol_Ipart2.html">Part 2</a><br />
<a href="http://www.4shared.com/rar/UR1diaDl/KBDH-VN_Vol_Ipart3.html">Part 3</a><br />
<br />
And if those fail as well, there's a link to a torrent. Click the following to open in your torrent client: <a href="magnet:?xt=urn:btih:3bd677d21d0eef9f3b3ea2e247e374a34ad21826&dn=KBDH-VN-1.01.rar&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80">magnet link</a><br />
<br />
The torrent is of uncertain reliability, but will probably work faster than the hosted downloads.

Only resting.<br />
<br />
The next release will contain up to chapter 9. We already have the script for everything up to chapter 10 done, and chapter 11 is in the works. Chapters 6-10 needs a good bit of spit and polish, and another sprite or two, and that should be done in time. Expect Volume II to be done soon!<br />
<br />
In the meantime, we've gotten new screenwriters-in-training to help out and get chapters done even faster!<br />
<br />
Until then, some more screenshots of what's to come!<br />

This is Volume I, covering the prologue through the first half of Chapter 5. Many thanks to all who participated in development and contributed help and material.<br />

UPDATE 5/30/12: The download for this release has been updated to include a few bug fixes. Issues corrected include: SFX volume is now persistently settable, the plain/vanilla setting is back in the options screen, and whether or not to autoscroll the preview is now an option.<br />
<br />
UPDATE 2013/06/19: Mediafire kicked us off for using multipart archives, so now we just have torrent files. On the bright side, we now don't have to worry about multipart archives anymore, since no file size limit.<br />

We're already hard at work on Volume II, and are still interested in recruiting more team members. If you think you can lend a hand, especially if you're an artist, or know one, we'd love to have you aboard.<br />

Enjoy the game, and stay tuned for what's to come!<br />
