There will always be insecure people who seeks validation and attention on the internet, to them "Annoyance"/"Disrespectful" is a badge of honor :KEK:
I get that, I have been active on the internet for the past 20+ years, however, I haven't noticed the amount of troglodytes that are coming out the woodwork to this magnitude here. Usually I see pretty calm and thoughtful comments on most of the threads I check in on. Sure, you get the person here or there that is just trolling because they have nothing better to do with their lives, but it's just been at a much higher level here lately in this thread in particular IMO.

That's definitely a troll. You are kinda cute tryin' to feed him :ROFLMAO:
Also, not only uncut ≠ phimosis, there're lot of sexy things you can do with foreskin ;), tho they might be too kinky for this thread (I take it this is a pretty vanilla game?)

lol. dude, i try and be nice even when people are weird about stuff. I also understand that a lot times there are language barriers and I respect that to the best of my awareness. I also realize that the game is listed on an adult forum and many people come here when their judgement is hormonally compromised. I don't because this is literally my job so i just check in with the fan mail and move along after browsing some of the other projects out there and getting a feel for the market.

and yeah, this game is pretty vanilla. i'm pretty vanilla and tend to go the romance route with my writing apparently. i like character development over pointless sex stuff.


I've met a lot of guys without a foreskin who didn't know they had been mutilated. They were pretty pissed when they found out...
you're definitely not the first person i've heard say that. when i've talked about my past roommate and told that story before, there's always someone that echoes it and says they had a similar experience with another person. Which is why i was sorta keeping my responses the way i did. like bro, the majority of people are born with foreskin-- that's a thing-- but there is a lot of people out there that don't actually know that. honestly, i have no idea why someone would knowingly cut off part of their junk as an adult anyway unless they were having issues with it. that just sounds terrifying

for the most part, the community around this game has been pretty chill and respectful. this forum isn't as active as it used to be because a lot of people have moved over to the discord or the patreon over the years. i do still have some people that pop on here and leave a review or something because i post it as an official link but this is also predominantly a hetero site so while i originally launched the game from here, it's never been the largest part of the traffic. And yeah, while there's been some weird comments over here more recently, the positive stuff far outweighs it on other sites. I dont really personalize much of the angry or weird shit anyway. i can't take those people seriously.

Yeah, I have been following most of the stuff posted about your game to this point from the community. I didn't know you originally launched it from here, thought you did it from Itch. I followed this game originally from Itch and have kept a close eye so far. I have definitely noticed that gay games don't get the support here, despite how much I prefer this site over sites like Itch. I'm still wanting to make my own gay VN, which I don't know if you remember me bringing it up. My story is both written out in a book format, which I am a few chapters in, and I'm trying to learn DAZ and Renpy to write it in that as well. I have seen most of the love and support you get, as well as giving it to you as well. I even follow Blake's stuff still, and really wish he would continue on his story with the ghost type character he wrote. I forget the actual name of that game lol. Though New Hope is really good too, despite the long pauses he takes. I'll have to hop on to the Discord though. :)

That's weird. It's pretty much my experience here on every Gay focused thread. Tho it usually happens when the game gets a "update push up (to the front)".
Never had I see one that's "pretty calm" - unless it's dead.

Also, "community-wise" I don't know a larger one that includes as many games. (Except Japanese / Chinese I'm pretty sure they have some big ones. Kinda weird since you'd thought LGBTQIA+ should be more accepted in the west.)
Unless you are talking about a specific game, then it'll be discord - there are also some big circles for furry ones, and I think Rafster is from a big one for ... real porn based?
Itch...definitely not build around the idea of "community interaction".

Thinking back on the feedback to gay threads, you may be right on here. Which is sad to be honest. Honestly, I wasn't even considering Japanese/Chinese games in the conversation as I usually don't play those. They kinda tend to go towards the typical what I want to call kinda like a boymance or boylove type of feel. Where I prefer my men to actually be more masculine and I definitely have felt like we have moved more towards that point in the west than those types of stories tend to tell. I don't have interest at all in Furry/Monster/etc content. It just feels weird to me, despite Mass Effect being my favorite video game series of all time. Though I feel like there's a big jump from dog/fox/reptile/whatever content and aliens. Yeah, I agree with Itch. It definitely doesn't feel as user friendly as this site does for me.

You have big Prejudice about Japanese / Chinese.
Sure, "YAOI" (what you referred as boymance / boylove) is quite popular there.
But "Bara" is also phenomenal (exaggeration on masculinity). Some artist (like Gengoroh Tagame) and game studio (like Underground Campaign) is often referred as Pioneer and well-known even among mainstream.
And there are also normal (people) looking gays like this game.

(Funny "YAOI" / boylove and "Bara" are all originated from Japan and initially meant the same. But now we use them for totally different things - and we don't have better words for them)

It's an incredible experience. For all my dislike of short stories, I'm stuck on this one. I've been worried about both main characters for 6 chapters and I'm looking forward to continuing

Just wanted to pass along over here that Straight!? has been featured in the 2024 Showcase for the Queer Games Festival in Melbourne. Major win for the queer community to have something like this and here's the link to check out all the other featured projects. I never expected this project to be included in any awards list so it's both humbling and exciting at the same time. It's really hard to get your projects started as an indie developer so if you're looking for some new stuff to check out, this could be a great place to start.

OP updated to include Revamp v0.13.1. This is the second half of Chapter 6 and the end of Part 2 of the story. Also massive audio crunch that reduced overall file size by ~300MB so this download is actually smaller than the previous version despite having new content. Hope you enjoy. Thanks as always for the support :)

Percentage wise, how gay is this game?
Percentage wise, how straight is "Debbie does Dallas"?

This might be more helpful

The main male character is trying (and failing) to avoid looking at his roommate's package and ass and muscles in order to conserve some normal relationship with him (the latter of which is mostly successful) Majorly male/male focus 9/10

Despite plenty of ass, bulge and erotic shots, it was only of the last update of the revamp where we got an actual sex scene (not main characters), and this update for a kiss. Not very provocative 6/10.

Probably the most sensual game ever, where characters feelings are explored at every level Sensual 10/10

Main characters are likely moving to the hand holding stage of their relationship 10/10

Not one character has said "YASS QUEEN" in the type of tone you'd expect. Drag level 0/10

So pretty gay, but not drag level gay. Which is fine, because drag makes for bad m/m porn fantasies usually.

I see that this has the 'anal sex' tag now.
I had played this game previously up until they were jacking off together and giving massages.
Does the MC finally get some sweet, sweet Brandon butt?
That guy is so darn cute that I want to go oil drilling in his 'outback.' ♥

It's had the anal tag for a really long time-- I wanna say since v11 of the original game so that was probably in like 2018 or 2019. i never really focused too much on the tags here. honestly, other people added them rather than me. it's really hard to answer this question without massive spoilers though
