this should have compression for the PNGs files they are around 4mb each. they should be around or less then 1mb.

Yeah, there's a crunched version posted.

I can't wait for the update!!

Aaryn · Nov 19, 2018

Updated OP with v0.12.2

There's currently not a MAC crunched version because I haven't figured it out yet so I'll update that later if someone else doesn't do it and post it first.

It is short. Basically, if it could go wrong that month--it did. It was a horrible time both professional and personal in creating that update. I had multiple computer problems, purchased a new one and had it shipped then reinstalled everything. Plus my entire family fell apart and I had people in three different hospitals. It was a fucking mess, bro.

v11 and v12 could have been one update together. However, the conversations for Braden and Mikhail were very different and I wanted to split the writing separately so it was done this way. Trying to do both of those conversations justice was a lot of pressure so I needed the break between to reset my head. However, I'm proud of this update and will go on record saying it's my favorite so far

I am not gay, but i definitely am interested in trying this game out for the story aspect of it! sounds pretty good.

I'm stoked you'd be open to it. I'm always down for a straight person playing the game and letting me know how they like it. I have a couple other straight followers and I really respect that perspective. I'm not a fan of feminine characters so it's definitely a "bro" take on the genre. If you end up playing it, let me know what you think.

Thanks. I'm already working on the next installment. Took a bit of a breather after v12 though...both v11 and v12 were emotional rollercoasters to write.

Hihi amazing game. Loving it but as I installed the latest build I experienced a problem and it keeps me from progressing. I thought the download might have been corrupted or sumin but redownloading didn't help. I couldn't find anything about it either. Sorry for the bother!

While running game code:
File "game/script.rpy", line 18503, in script
if (SaidYouWereBi and SaidZen and WhereGoArgument and ActingStraight):
File "game/script.rpy", line 18503, in <module>
if (SaidYouWereBi and SaidZen and WhereGoArgument and ActingStraight):

So far i am enjoying the game, honestly i would be down to play more games like this if they focus on the story like this does.

Did you use an old save?

Aaryn · Nov 20, 2018

Heh, wow. that's pretty impressive I guess. I'll take that as a compliment. Story and character development are my main focus. I think most games lack it and that's something that's really important to me.

Ah yes, I did on every try. I wasn't aware that would be a problem.

A word of compliment though, I love your work. I love the different approach this game is taking and ahhhh it's just so good. Enjoying it so much. Bless you!

Yep, old saves will always bug the game out. If you've been doing that for awhile you probably missed some stuff. I haven't ever really figured out a way around it based on my limited coding experience. That's why I use the chapter select at the beginning so that you don't have to start all the way over like a few other games on this site that release updates similar to how I do.

But thanks, though. I really appreciate the compliment. I'm enjoying doing my own thing, too.

Know how you feel about pc problems. I'm still using a single core cpu from 2006 with 2gb ram and I can't upgrade because I'd need to just buy a whole new comp for $300 I don't have.
