That was another great update, I actually went back to the start and replayed over again. I really enjoyed the drama, the scene at the pool after Braden overhears Zack still kills me (His defeated betrayed face is heartbreaking).

On to the update the reflection on the glasses was brilliant :) I really enjoyed the backstory for the other guys. It really helps to flesh out the story.
Thanks a lot. I'm glad you liked it. I think we've really improved on the cinematography in the newer updates as this project slowly begins to take itself more seriously as a story. Glad you liked the backgrounds, too. I think it fit and it sets up a lot

I'm still walking through :love:

the first mention of Ash is at Coffee Shop
reread it again, I do not have this moment. Am I so inattentive to details? :eek:
Yep, he mentions it quickly in the coffee shop. The idea was that you'd hopefully overlook it in that scene because of the content and impact of what Ash was actually saying. You didn't miss anything. That's actually the way I wanted you to read it. It's sorta meant to be that Braden was actually more attentive than you (Zack) are in that scene.

yes, only he says it in the sauna. I don't know if the scene is dependent on the choices earlier in the game. but i tried different options and i don't see any mention in the cafe. I guess I'm really inattentive :rolleyes: or is it because of not knowing the language.

Well... Fuck.

I believe this is the first time (in an adult game) I was genuinely feeling like a total prick for having preconceptions about fictional characters. Yes. Plural.

I don't believe there is even one of my posts in this thread that doesn't praise your way of writing and storytelling.

But just in case: WOW. This was bloody amazing update, your way of storytelling is awesome Aaryn the artwork is amazing, the rain effects, character development, cliffhanger, and everything. Just spot on.

Cody, Max and Manager scene in Caffè... Fucking awesome. No other words to explain that scene. This entire update was a roller-coaster of emotions ranging from sadness to smiling, sad again, to laughter, back to sad, shock, speechless, smile, laugh, shock again, and eventually sadness for not having more stuff to read and see...

Kudos to you and Blayke and all others who had any part in this. And a huge thank you. Can't wait for next update.

PS. I hope there will be much more Cody content, he is adorable, and kinda grew on me when he made those shower comments... :)

haha, welp... sorry about any "inventorying of your own shortcomings" you need to do for your negative preconceptions :p (see what I did there?)

But thanks a lot for the update love. I was nervous about this one because it followed such a good update before. I really liked the beach one and wasn't really sure how to try and keep the momentum going while simultaneously trying to slow it down and give us a chance to catch our breath again. But honestly, i liked this one a lot. Ash is a blast to write and he was fun to finally expose to the readers in (literally) all his glory. And yeah...Cody was pretty popular. I'm actually featuring a photo shoot of him on the Patreon site all month :)

You monster :p I was never fired with such a nice words :ROFLMAO:

I'll never understand that anxiety and nervousness of yours, your work is awesome. I don't know how many times does it need to be said so that it gets through to you...

As for Patreon, unfortunately I'm not able to support you financially, but it is on my to do list.

Haha. Well I appreciate the love, especially when I'm giving you shit

And no worries on the Patreon support. Promise I'm not filming a commercial over here. That's why the game is free. Just thought I'd point you in that direction if you were a Cody fan. The first pic is over there for free right now though.

To anyone who has lectured me about including more sexual content in the game in the past, I've finally gotten the time to write up the reason on why the game includes the content that it does and ignores the typical porn cliches that you see elsewhere on this site. It's a free post on my Patreon so that anyone can see it. Just gonna link it here because I know a few people still follow the game on here.

Hi, Aaryn, thanks for the post. Well written. Fingers crossed for the rest of the game. :)

I have been aware of all this you wrote for quite some time. Maybe not exact words for it, but the general idea. Coming of age story, not focusing on porn aspects, slow buildup of characters and storytelling.

Never had any issues with it. Quite the opposite. I love this story. Characters. The way it is told. Cliffhangers. Everything.

I would never dare to meddle in your creative process and ask to change anything. Whatever the story is, creator should always do it the way they think it should be done. No matter how the audience reacts.

That being said, I still vote (read as "beg") for a happy ending. This world is terrible enough as it is. :)

Yeah, it's definitely not the typical motivation for writing an adult game that others have but these are my own motivations and it's kept me going for almost 3 years now so something is working. Plus, there's an amazing following and a huge number of people that have been positively impacted by the game. There's another few comments on itch.io lately if anyone cares about those. Here's the link

Just some more evidence for why I've done what I've done here and have zero regrets.

Will there be a "timeskip" with the more mature characters?
Not sure what you mean about the mature characters here. Can you be more specific?
