I'm so happy whenever I read that someone, somewhere around the world, enjoy reading/playing my lovely and little disaster called gameIt will be tough to top the Garrett romance, which was intense and dark with romantic high notes! I'm looking forward to seeing this Dalton romance through to the end though, what a hunk... those (nearly) unobtainable daddies.
It's always a pleasure to read you man, thank you for your kind words. This week has been a bit hard for me, and reading you guys (and the people at the discord) really brightened my day.Hello.
Rafster, stop it right now. Every time you talk about your game here or in another thread, you're denigrating it or your work. If you continue, I'll come and give you a pair of slaps.
You've done a good job with the story, the characters, the variety of kinks, the playability and ergonomics, the choice of pictures and videos, the consistency between everything, the regular news and your reactivity and many more.
Once this game go out of his shell when you decide to create his own thread, you'll realize that it's better than most of the other games available and that you don't have to be ashamed of your work.
And good continuation.
Unfortunately, no. He already have someone in his life, who will be revealed on the next update. But don't despair, I have two extra scenes with him.is Luke ever going to be a romance?
Many more are planned. For example, Mack Williams will be one, and there will be at least 4 or 5 more before I consider the game complete. I'm not telling the others, but one clue is that they make brief appearances on JCS and gym storylines.Or will there be any other romances added besides Dalton and Garrett?
I'm aware of that. There is a dom storyline planned, where you'll romance a sub guy. But it's probably after Mack's romance, unless the first poll on patreon tells the opposite. I know it's not much, but there are a couple of BDSM dom scenes on the next update, where you can have some fun with some poor unsuspecting subs (they are new characters introduced on the next update).Obviously I love both of them but I play a 100% dom and I'd really like to have a more subby guy like Luke as a serious relationship option since there isn't too many full-on topping scenes for my MC to do with the current guys.
Yep, at least four more. I must admit I love writing them.And will there ever be more BDSM kink scenes added? I'd love to try that on Luke.
I have no idea. I know that in demitransference you can take a more dominant role in the game. You can check it out if you haven't.EDIT: just out of curiosity, does anyone know any gay games were the MC takes on a much more dominant role? The vast majority I've come across have the MC as either a sub or switch.
It was pretty difficult to find your game (I saw it on someone's sig), but why you don't have the game among the other adult games on here? I can honestly say that it is VERY good among gay games, and I'm sure it would be very loved, and you'd get a lot more people telling you how much they enjoyed it if you did.Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy whenever I read that someone enjoy my game![]()
Oh, that's fair enough. I guess I just figured because he was crushing so hard on MC that he wanted something with him. Besides which, he's the absolute cutest character of them all and really works for my dom character. lol. But if you have plans for him, s'all good - I like that your characters actually have personalities and aren't all just sluts for the MC (although that's definitely an added perk lol).Unfortunately, no. He already have someone in his life, who will be revealed on the next update. But don't despair, I have two extra scenes with him.
Nice to hear that there's a bunch more coming! I hope at least some of them are subs, or at least switches totally down to exclusively sub to my MC. lol.Many more are planned. For example, Mack Williams will be one, and there will be at least 4 or 5 more before I consider the game complete. I'm not telling the others, but one clue is that they make brief appearances on JCS and gym storylines.
Sounds awesome - can't wait!I'm aware of that. There is a dom storyline planned, where you'll romance a sub guy. But it's probably after Mack's romance, unless the first poll on patreon tells the opposite. I know it's not much, but there are a couple of BDSM dom scenes on the next update, where you can have some fun with some poor unsuspecting subs (they are new characters introduced on the next update).
I can see how that would be a bit difficult if it doesn't come naturally, although I have to say there have been some scenes where you've definitely done it justice, such as the scene where your MC has to stand in for a missing porn star in Mack's 'water torture' BDSM movie. That was hot af, and was actually the one time where I felt more than any other that you captured the dom 'voice' for a dom MC very well.I'm trying my best to add more dom scenes for the game. It's something I try to correct, I'm a natural sub guy, so the sub BDSM scenes for me are easier.
I can honestly say that that BDSM movie scene was my favourite part in the whole game thus far - it was very well written. Are there any plans for MC to potentially become a porn star, or at least get hired for more scenes for Mack, cos that felt really natural for a 'hotshot MC', and I can really see a dom MC making a name for himself in the town's porn industry (and for that matter, a sub MC too). I just hope it doesn't require romancing Mack to get it. I do really like Mack as a character, but there's the obvious clash with my dom MC in the bedroom that would get in the way, if you get what I mean. lolYep, at least four more. I must admit I love writing them.
I have actually downloaded this and planned to try it out after yours, but thanks for the recommendation! It's a shame there's not more gay games where the MC is a dom. I wonder why that is? It's so freaking hot.I have no idea. I know that in demitransference you can take a more dominant role in the game. You can check it out if you haven't.
I didn't. It will be up two or three days before the update, which is VERY close. I just finished all the levels, and checked the page to see if everything is in order.Did you publicize your Patreon yet? I searched for both Rafster and Grizzly Grove and didn't find it. Hope all is well!
The game is up on itch.io... but it was only a test. My initial plan is to publish it when I had two storylines from start to finish. As you can see, Dalton's storyline is not finished but it will be on the next update. The next version, 0.20, is how I envisioned the game on its release. With at least two stories complete (Dalton and Garrett). Of course, I could have published here on 0.18 like I did on itch.io but the update was up here since April or March, and I want to offer new content to make everybody play. So the next update, 0.20, will be the official release here, along with my patreon. The community here has helped me so much to shape the game... I love you guysIt was pretty difficult to find your game (I saw it on someone's sig), but why you don't have the game among the other adult games on here? I can honestly say that it is VERY good among gay games, and I'm sure it would be very loved, and you'd get a lot more people telling you how much they enjoyed it if you did.![]()
Unfortunately, Tom's story ends there if you help Vera. Honestly, I find him repulsive, but don't mind me, it's just me being grumpy. Wade... is a fun case, I'll see if I make new scenes with him, I bet you liked his sub scene on the gym.Nice to hear that there's a bunch more coming! I hope at least some of them are subs, or at least switches totally down to exclusively sub to my MC. lol.
I wonder if one of them is the (newly single - I assume) Tom - the JCS client who is/was married to Vera? Although I dunno how the MC would feel about getting with a dude that was happy to cheat on their spouse. BUT if there's one thing I love about your romance storylines is that it's never so straight-forward and boring as them simply getting together. Heh
Actually, I really hope one of them is Wade (the guy who works at the convenience store in the mall, represented by Jaxton Wheeler), because I love the 'secret sub' story you've started with him, and it's always fun to bring out the sub nature in a character who thinks he's dom. Just break him down into submission bit by bit. Actually, making him wear a chastity cage as the 'punishment' for losing some game against the MC would be super fun too.
Feedback noted, I'm working more to not have Ryan (the MC) being referred as sub or twink. Having terms assiciated with each portrait could be a huge undertaking, just imagine how much I should adjust for every NPC in the game. But I'll keep the idea in mind, I may come with a similar idea in time.I can see how that would be a bit difficult if it doesn't come naturally, although I have to say there have been some scenes where you've definitely done it justice, such as the scene where your MC has to stand in for a missing porn star in Mack's 'water torture' BDSM movie. That was hot af, and was actually the one time where I felt more than any other that you captured the dom 'voice' for a dom MC very well.
One thing I'm genuinely curious about. If you're naturally sub, and you have a tendency to write more in that direction, why did you choose to make 'Alpha guy' the recommended starting choice for the character, which points much more towards a physical/dom style character, but then lean more heavily into sub choices? I'll be honest, it felt a little odd because when I started out and saw that option I thought I'd be domming left-right-and-center, but then found a lot of the choices for scenes (when playing a pure dom and never touching any 'bottom' choices) only allowed my MC to get his cock sucked or something, which made those scenes feel kind of lacklustre and anti-climactic for me. Also, the amount of guys that talked to my 'Master' dom MC in a subby context or talked about how they were gonna fuck my ass, and referred to my MC as if he let the whole town fuck him (rather than being the one who did the fucking - and even then it hasn't been as much as he'd like lol) was a little immersion-breaking.
Actually, there were a couple of other things I found a little odd. Maybe they're bugs or things you're not aware of (or maybe you are). I'll mention them now but please keep in mind these are just my observations as things that stood out to me, and aren't a complete deal breaker for my playing experience, but they are a bit jarring and immersion-breaking to experience while playing.
The first was my non-twink looking character being referred to as a twink or saying he looked like one, or characters saying that they were surprised that a skinny/weak guy like me did so well in fighting (during the fight club matches) when my MC started out more buff than just about all of them, and when they referred to my character as such all of his skills were already maxed. lol.
Also, I understand you can't control which image the player chooses for their MC, but even the 'default' one (number 1) is a big bear of a guy (who honestly looks more like he's in his 30s than a 28 year old - in fact, there was a grey haired guy among the pictures and he didn't look 28 at all). And the overwhelming majority of choices for the picture to represent your characters are buff bears anyway. So yeah, it's a bit contradictory.
One thing you could do is associate certain values with different MC pictures, so that the game recognises an image of a big buff guy as such, and a more cute, twink-looking sort as something different, and then when you have NPC referring to your MC's appearance, call to those values and give the right description. That may be a bit of work at this point, but you it would stop a hairy bear MC from being referred to as a twink.![]()
I have good news for you. The first poll that will be put on patreon, will be the choice on the next storyline. There are two options, and it's a good time to reveal them:I can honestly say that that BDSM movie scene was my favourite part in the whole game thus far - it was very well written. Are there any plans for MC to potentially become a porn star, or at least get hired for more scenes for Mack, cos that felt really natural for a 'hotshot MC', and I can really see a dom MC making a name for himself in the town's porn industry (and for that matter, a sub MC too). I just hope it doesn't require romancing Mack to get it. I do really like Mack as a character, but there's the obvious clash with my dom MC in the bedroom that would get in the way, if you get what I mean. lol
Cole Connor. And he's really hot too.OH! There's one other thing I wanted to ask. Can you tell me the name of the porn star you used for Howard (I think that's his name - the manager of the mall that you can have a threesome with Luke with?). He comes across as quite charismatic and invested in the clips in that scene and I'd really like to check him out.
There are some devs that continue posting in their dev log after launching their game so you're not forced to let this thread go to sleep. Well, the choice is yours.I know, I should have ended in June, and I honestly apologize for that. I hope you like the conclusion of the story of JCS. I'm also doing the finishing touchs on the Patreon page and start testing the game from the very beginning before the update. The launch here is really close, soon this thread won't be necessary.
Thanks for following my project, and constant ramblings. See you next week, hopefully with good news.

While reading those messages, I think the best way to do it would be to base the reactions to the concerned stat.Feedback noted, I'm working more to not have Ryan (the MC) being referred as sub or twink. Having terms assiciated with each portrait could be a huge undertaking, just imagine how much I should adjust for every NPC in the game. But I'll keep the idea in mind, I may come with a similar idea in time.
I thought I tried everything in the game outside the sub content but I don't remember this one (meaning I missed some...).I can honestly say that that BDSM movie scene was my favourite part in the whole game thus far - it was very well written. Are there any plans for MC to potentially become a porn star, or at least get hired for more scenes for Mack, cos that felt really natural for a 'hotshot MC', and I can really see a dom MC making a name for himself in the town's porn industry (and for that matter, a sub MC too).

I do really like Mack as a character, but there's the obvious clash with my dom MC in the bedroom that would get in the way, if you get what I mean. lol
There's an inherent conflict at play for a masculine sub (which is what the mc is if you play as a sub) so it makes perfect sense that insults like sissy or being called a girl would trigger him. Usually takes a good bit of ones life to reconcile that, and the mc isn't fully mature so he's just not there.My original vision of Ryan (the MC) was a cub-like young man, on his 25-27, who will grow larger and stronger as his muscle skills develop over the game, but there are details that doesn't help me, like the portraits that show men way over that age, or some below that age, and deleting them at this point would be absurd. Another thing that maybe is breaking your immersion, is that some of the clips are with twinks (happens with some of the clips of Dalton or Mack. For example, the scene with the guard Trent on the mall happens with a twink). I apologize for those.
Now, I'm pretty liberal with the insults, I say a vast array of them during the game, maybe I should learn some new ones![]()
, even the "F" word, but I try to be careful with it. The only insults that really get to me, are the girly insults, like sissy, etc... those are precisely the ones that trigger Ryan (and me on some degree). But in the future I'll re-check the older sex scenes to see if I have insults that imply that the MC is a twink (no disrespect for the twinks, eh... hell, I'm so skinny that if I were younger I would be considered one).
