Others Completed Familiar Travels Vol 1 & 2 [Director Cut] [Halftone Studios]

[HeroicHeretic]

Internalised homophobia is a thing. Broadly spoken, "Muh fragile masculinity/heterosexuality" is a thing that's strangely appropiate to describe a lot of the people who hate on gay content.

It kind of pisses you off as bisexual person, like, yeah the boys dig it when chicks go at each other but if it's boys oh god, that's repulsive!

Then again, there are factors like the enviroment you grew up in, values taught by your family & indoctrination by vile religious madmen. Many of the people in questions are themselves only victims.

Don't mean they don't need any therapy though. Because damn, so many should have therapy...
But getting good therapy is harder than it sounds, and in many cases you need to get out of the toxic enviroment first.

Hell -I- don't even have regular therapy and I've been running after fucking therapists for years now, they're all booked and full to the brink. Thankfully my disorders are kept in check due to well established medication, but fuck..


Now regarding the game itself:
Honestly, I'm one of the most open people when it comes to sexy content I guess. I'll fap to pretty much anything.
But the selection and writing in this seems... boring? Yeah I don't like SJW content stuffed my throat down either but the obese fetish thing is widespread in furry content so I'm not sure if the aim is to be SJW. *Shrugs*

Either way, sadly, it's boring.

 

[Zyeda]

fuck man you people really writing a synopsis about a gay furry game lol btw I liked it keep up the good work

 

[HeroicHeretic]

I had literally nothing else to do at that moment in time

 

[BOSSX]

Why no girl's to sex with in this game there hot.

 

[Kilosan]

So I like the idea and the TF stuff and everything but this game is booooooring as hell.
The people who are supposed to be your friends constantly go out of character just to say something mean to create drama, sometimes they act like 9 year olds even. This game had so much potential, for example the art is pretty good.

But oh well, the project was already doomed from the start when the Kickstarter got suspended.

 

[deversari]

All of the furry games that keep appearing are all Gay like can we have some good straight ones for a change

Knowing what I do about furries, probably not.

 

[lechtoyz]

I mean, I definitely don't mind gay content in my games, but when it makes up like 95% of the entire game meanwhile that last 5% is just waving some thick-ass vulpine cuties in front of me like juicy steaks but then snatching them away while I'm still getting the steak sauce, then I'm out.

 

[Longfang]

Hey I get why that would be annoying, after all when it comes to non furry content it always end up being 99% straight and 1% gay. Difference is you usually don't see people into gay shit bitch about it being too straight in the game's comments, unlike whenever a mostly gay game is posted on here.

 

[devilbird]

Is there a guide to this? I went down Tsitsi's route, and ended up getting fried.

 

[GreenPhoenix]

First off, the game wasn't really worth playing for me, too much dialogue and the scenes aren't really worth the trouble, especially the shape-shifting. Skipped through dialogue so can't tell you about the story content.

The rest is just rambling about the whole straight guys complaining about gay content topic that popped up because I'm bored at home in this quarantine.

I always guessed it was because straight content is the norm. I'm guessing 90% of the people on here are looking for straight content, whereas maybe about 5% are looking for gay male content. 90% of the content I search through on here is straight. At least what I call straight, chicks with dicks aren't gay in my eyes. Even pornhub has a transgender category in the normal section, while the gay version doesn't, we can see all the dicks we want without boobs in the way. I think it gets a gay rap since dicks equal gay even with boobs, but my reasoning is based off a college lecture I saw on youtube that investigated sexuality and pornography on the internet years back. They did an eye tracking of males that identified as straight on pornographic images and the top 5 areas of focus in order were boobs, ass, pussy, girl's mouth and oddly the guy's dick. They reasoned the dick was number five was because it reminding the subject of his own dick and was imagining doing the same things in the picture with it. Straight guys aren't bothered by dicks, they have dicks, they touch their dicks, they use their dicks, and they like seeing girls get fucked by dicks. It's all fine as long as a chick is involved in someway. The majority of guys think that way, which is fine, so they go through life without ever seeing, hearing, or thinking about gay sex.

Conversely, as a gay and in the minority, most of my friends are straight, most of the movies I watch have only straight romance, most of the videogames I play only have straight romance, and even most of the ads out there are focused on straight people. I'm used to my buds talking about their straight sexual adventures, I'm used to the dreamy hunk kissing the girl, and I'm used to seeing scantily clad or even topless women in more mature media. So I've played numerous games on here that are straight only if the game is interesting enough, and way too many crappy ones just to check out the 5% gay content it contains. It's really little over the past decade that gay option in games has become more mainstream with adding them to games like Dragon Age, Mass Effect and The Sims. The funny thing is a lot this is still being pushed against by straight men because they aren't used to being around gay romance, I still remember the Dragon Age Origins mod board getting spammed by straight guys complaining on the mod allowing a male MC to romance Alistair thread. I remember one guy complaining that Alistair is straight guy and if we didn't like it, don't play the game... on a mod board... where you can change literally anything you want. Even Game of Thrones still got a backlash of complaints for having too many dicks in it.

So basically I grew up with straight being the norm and react differently to things. I listen to my buds' sex stories, I don't care if a straight couple is making out in public, I'm fine with seeing a naked woman and have watched straight porn if the guy is hot enough. It's the majority out there. For straight guys it's different, they rarely or even never have to deal with gay sex. It's on sites like this there gay and straight is all mixed in that they seem to freak out the worst. Rule 34 has the same out come. 90% of the gay pictures there have someone complaining about "fag shit" in comments, which I always find funny when it's on a picture of a single naked man. You need two guys to make it gay in a picture otherwise by that logic all pictures of a single naked lady are lesbian pics.

Overall better tagging would probably help this issue out a lot. I've used the gay tag to check for games and a lot of the games that show up I personally wouldn't call gay (see my transsexual argument earlier). I've also bumped into some lesbian games that are labeled as gay, which gay is a general term so it's not quite wrong, but not the current tags intent. It would be nice to add some male/male only tags like Bara or Yaoi.

 

[waterfireandwinf]

how many endings does the game have?

 

[Excessive_Perversion]

Is there a guide to this? I went down Tsitsi's route, and ended up getting fried.

did you find anything like a guide yet? Got the same end and now i'm back at Day 2? Not sure what i'm missing

 

[RamRanch]

Anyway to unlock the extras menu without having to sit through every route?

 

[Bop107]

Don't really get the hate TBH, so far I have been enjoying it thoroughly. I do believe that the lack of adult scenes is pretty lame, but that's perfectly fine with me.

yeah i like the characters and the interactions, but i genuinely dislike trial and error gameplay, even more so if the conclusions or events take place with no rhyme or reason or if things happen like it expects you to know the context to a character even when you don't (did a Tsitsi path, later found Mocha took up painting for some reason, and apparently i agreed to visit her art show somehow?). Also Tsitsi told me to come visit her the next day, and then she's not in her room for the entire day?
It's a shame because i genuinely care about the characters and would like to see every ending, but the above factors + only 5 save slots make it hard to justify going back when you don't even know what you're doing wrong.

 

[Trixpix]

That could in part be caused by the use of Tyrano.

For starting out with VNs or making a small mini-game type project its one of the easiest systems to pick up but as a project grows it quickly becomes apparent how much less suitable it is compared to Renpy or a purpose built engine.

I can definitely see that. Right now I am trying to complete a route but I can't because they are just missing from their dormitory.

 

[Kruxis]

So...Is there any special requirement for Tsisi and Kenshi's endings? Because I'm missing these 2 endings but I got the game over instead

Tsisi’s route should be completable, just as long as you focus on her, but Kenshi’s is not playable at this point. On CH2 Day 7, she is supposed to go to her dorm after you talk to her around the cafe, but when you enter it, she isn’t there.
All I can hope is that the creators are fixing it for a later patch, because its a pretty glaring glitch if it makes an entire route unplayable.

i focus almost exclusively on Tsitsi but after the kiss, she's missing from her room the next day?
