Hey all,
So I feel like it's been awhile and It's been kind of a struggle this time around. In the spirit of self-disclosure, I'll try to bring y'all up to speed on things. If you have other questions, don't hesitate to ask. I've always tried to be transparent, so hit me up in the comments.

Hey all,
This is overdue (or I feel like it is). The holiday threw me off and my 4 day weekend turned into 1 day. I'll also admit my second mistake recently: I played Camp Buddy and learned that if I play other games, it seriously fucks with my writing ability. But hopefully, this week I can get b...
2018-11-27 02:14:42 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
Here's the free public release. This is also a slight upgrade to the last posted paid version because it includes a bug fix that was giving the Mac version fits again. However, nothing else was changed if you played the previous version. Also, noted are that...
2018-11-19 15:30:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
So last the last DevLog Update focused essentially on presenting a checklist of things that needed done as well as a transparent justification for taking a bit of a breather. So while I didn't take much of a breather, I've began to slip myself back into the campus world of Zack and Braden...

Been experimenting with some lighting and shaders a bit. Here's a little peek into a side of Braden we don't get to see very often.
Guess this is what he's doing before Zack comes in...
2018-11-16 01:56:23 +0000 UTC View PostSo a buddy was talking about how the gameplay has changed over the course of the game and that's honestly because I'm still pretty amateur at this. While I have a vision for the story, executing the playstyle of that story has not been something that comes natural. Another follower recently pointed ...
2018-11-09 00:21:07 +0000 UTC View PostHeya,
So a ton of new faces around here so I wanted to address my writing style and game production real quick moving forward as this will impact the progress for v0.13 and may impact your motivation for pledges for November. Another long post but I'll drop a summary at the bottom again for those ...
2018-11-05 01:47:17 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick reminder that Patreon pledges are kinda screwy with some banks. I'm looking through the statement and I don't see anyone double charged but if something isn't right, please let me know with a private message. If you can't figure out the private message you can post here and I'll contact...

Hey all,
So this is a public post and it's long overdue. Essentially, I wanted to do a big post about the upgrade as soon as it happened. For those who saw, I did do a few posts on the Patreon "lens" feature as I was unwrapping boxes n stuff and setting this bitch up like a giddy ...
2018-11-01 19:22:54 +0000 UTC View PostHeya,
So here it is...
After the absolute worst month of drama in the history of this game, we have v0.12.1. Download links are below. Thanks again to my testers and for the prompt feedback to get this bad boy launched before the end of October. Also, thanks for putting up with my rants. This ...
Since we'll have more closure in this upcoming update and because I'm feeling playful: I'm gonna drop this last teaser without any context at all...just to be a poop-dick and make everyone freak out.
Soooo
I'm not sure what gods finally smiled on me but they did and I reaallly needed it.
I'm actually caught up with the update and I'll admit that I feel good about it. I just finished the first runthrough of the rough draft and I'll honestly say I'm pretty happy with it. Tha...

Hey all,
So, as promised, here's another teaser for the upcoming release. I plan to drop at least one more and I imagine these are going to be so confusing that you'll think this shit won't make a lick of sense. But here you go...
It was really hard to select images that wouldn't really be s...
2018-10-25 12:27:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
So some of you have contacted me about the anticipated release for v0.12. Basically, this has been the update from hell and if it could go wrong--it has...multiple times.
Bitching
So to catch everyone up. I took about a week or so to colle...
2018-10-22 04:12:16 +0000 UTC View PostHeya,
Here's the next free public version of the game and, in my opinion, the most emotional. I'm turning up the drama dial a bit so hang on!
As always, if you wish to discuss, you can in the comments. If you include spoilers, just please post a spoiler alert at the beginning of your...

Hey all,
So I wanted to drop an actual teaser pic from this update to give you some ideas of what to expect visually. So I'll do a more in-depth post soon about the writing but I'll give you $5 and up peeps a head-start: essentially the rough draft is kinda done. I haven't done a reread of it but ...
2018-10-13 21:12:44 +0000 UTC View PostSup,
So it's been kinda quiet over here since the last update. For those not in the higher tiers that don't have access to the conversations, I was taking a bit of a breather after the emotional rollercoaster of the past two updates. While I'm not the most emotional guy externally, I'm a big softy...

Hey all,
So a little over a year ago, I pitched an idea about a gay visual novel on a primarily straight adult game forum and, to my surprise, got a green light with open arms. Well, today marks the one year anniversary to the launch of v0.01 of Straight!? and what a ride it's been!
Hey all,
For those that had pledges that went through, you can completely ignore this message. It's similar to what you've heard the past 2 months already. It's just not as bad this time. For the newer folks:
For those with declined Patreon pledges, this may be due to Patreon's bank triggeri...
2018-10-02 12:30:59 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
So here's the next installment. I don't usually mention this but I'll kindly ask that you don't share the link or post publicly. I do that, myself already within a few weeks. Basically, this is what helps attract people to the Patreon site, allows me to purchase upgrades for my deca...

Hey all,
The last teaser was more concept art than an actual teaser so to appease the masses, I'm throwing in an extra one this time around while I finish up the last adjustments to the update.
Definitely shooting to have the update released within the next few days.
2018-09-24 23:47:48 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey all,
So in one of the DevLogs, I hinted at a new location so I wanted to show that. In contrast to most CG teasers, this one will not actually be used in game. I've eliminated the models from the room just to avoid spoilers so it's more of a concept art than an actual...
2018-09-18 15:05:57 +0000 UTC View PostOk, sooooo I guess school deadlines made me completely overlook doing a DevLog update recently. It's been awhile and I apologize for the lack of enormous text walls. However, I have been pretty good about updating the writing progress on the Patreon page so hopefully you've felt in-the-loop. For tho...
2018-09-14 12:16:09 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
Here's the free v0.10 for the public download. This update was massive in comparison to its predecessors, I added 150 new images and the coding exceeded 2,700 lines. This is about double the size of a normal update.
Normal Version (Beware: this is ove...

Hey all,
So work is progressing but it is slower than I wanted. The end of school is taxing and these next two updates are a very difficult write for me. I haven't shared any pictures yet...mostly because I've really struggled with which pictures to actually show. Everything seems like a ...
2018-09-05 12:18:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
So for those new this month, Patreon recently moved one of their banks to a UK based bank . Last month, this surprise withdrawal from a new bank for pledges triggered fraud protection on numerous bank accounts. Basically, Patreon supposedly had it fixed but now I'm getting reports from ot...
2018-09-01 23:58:32 +0000 UTC View PostHeya folks,
Please don't post spoilers in this thread. The $1 folks may not have played v0.10 yet ( unless they stole it :p ). I'm going to try and make the DevLog posts more generic and open to all Patreons so that the $1 folks can be included. Basically, I feel like ...

Figured I would give the coach some screen-time on the selfies since we don't get to see him too often.
2018-08-25 15:22:18 +0000 UTC View PostOk, seriously... I'm completely speechless about the number of people that have rolled in over the past few days since v0.10 launched! Legit, at first I thought it was bots but a lot of people are actually sticking around and this is Kraaaazy! &nbs...
