Like I said, I get it. But you should consider (after this concludes) doing story and smut. I've never complained about the lack of fuckery in Straight?! Because i get it. I'm not going to argue about your characters with you because my opinion is meaningless, but in other regards, you've got real talent for developing connections, and not using that to facilitate scenes with some hot raunchy sex is a waste of talent.
Unless you're prude, then i get it.
Anyway, well done.

nah, i'm not opposed to it. Honestly, one of the most intimidating things is trying to actually write the smut. When i started i got to a point where I was like...oh shit, how do i actually write sexy stuff that sounds and feels sexy as opposed to just writing that someone grabbed someone's dick. I've never read a romance or smut before and it was probably something I should have researched going into this. But instead, i said fuck it and I wrote something that I wanted to read and this is what came out... something entirely more unique and I like that. I know it's niche but i'm ok with it. I'm not opposed to more smutty stuff... but not with this one...it will be how i want it to be because i wanted an emotional feel as primary and the sex stuff just adds to that emotion, the realism, and sometimes provides some humor

Well I most certainly enjoy it, and encourage you to keep doing what you wanna do, because the second you start doing something you're not comfortable with, the resulting product will suffer. So far, I'd say Straight!? is outstanding, so keep it up; know there are those out there silently cheering you on. And if, in the future, you need a perverted mind to help brainstorm, I'll be lurking. :3

Thanks a lot. Dont worry about the financial part. If you like the game, maybe recommend it to other people. That helps just as much as the financial side of things. I dont fuss over the money part that much. I'll be appreciative either way :)

I know of this game quite a while ago but never played it due to time constraints and wanting to store up more content to play through in one go. I have been playing through it these few days and i loved it. I love Zack to bits, he is just so sexy and i hope he and Braden gets together. I also appreciate quality Vanilla gay content like this (I have no interest in any furry gay stuff) and despite it being a cocktease, i found it extremely arousing on several of the scenes.

Hey, no worries. There's a lot of new people that have been catching up since the last update. I'm glad that you can relate to Zack's character. I've found that only a small number of folks complained about his overanalyzing but there's a silent army of people out there that can really relate to him and I appreciate that. I hope you continue to appreciate the story. I know it's a slow burn on the sex content but that really wasn't my focus in the first place. I had an entirely different motive for this project. I'm with you though.... I think the teasing type content is almost better--especially if you relate to the characters.

Hi, I cannot restrain myself from commenting the last issue. One thing is teasing as dramaturgical tool of the author and the second one is the plausibility of portrayed character's behaviour. After so many events, analysing, confessions, sleeping in one bed etc. etc., any further delay of sexual contacts between the protagonists would be hardly credible :) Looking forward to the next update :))

i mean, keep in mind this isn't a porn story. it's simply a coming of age tail without censorship, allowing for almost anything to happen. Additionally, the lack of sexual boundaries allows for sex to be explored realistically in the story without fading the screen out and have the reader assume what happens. I don't want to spoil things so I won't say too much more. Just understand this is an adult game with adult themes but not necessarily just raw porn. There's enough of that without plot on here already. I want something unique.

Oh, be sure, I am completely aware of it, otherwise I would not certainly follow your story for more than one year :) But what I have written before, it is still valid. The characters behaviour should be plausible. - I can accept if there will be no realistic sex scene, that would match the rest of the realism of the story. It can be artistically solved otherwise - skipped, "blacked", whatever you like - but, I would say, it is already time to happen :)

Really hard to respond to this without incoprorating the most recent update. There's always been a ton of reasons why sexual content was delayed in this game, though. Lot of that comes to light in the newest update

Straight!? v0.18.1

Thx Aaryn

PC:



MAC:



Change Log v0.18.1

-Fixed spelling errors

-Corrected the notorious flying cell phone

-Corrected the speaker for a couple mislabeled dialogue lines



Change Log v0.18

-Began the first part of Chapter 9

-Did a quick fix on a CG during the convo with Zack and Mikhail walking where Zack bounced up and down and it was annoying af

-Dropped in a few random flashback scenes into the game to help make connections in conversations to which previous scenes they were specifically talking about. This doesn't change any of the story

- All chapters now have a different chapter title screen including a teasing quote. The quote appears somewhere within the chapter randomly

I've been counting the days for this update to be released! Just finished it and it was really amazing. I love how the story keeps getting even better (and the guys hotter :p ). Thanks Aaryn for all of your hard work! I know it's only words but man this is the best VN I've ever played, by a long shot. I can't even imagine how hard it is to do what you do and that's why I wanted to really express my gratitude. You're the best!
