So BTC is a lot more porn and kink based than what my project focuses on. I did actually support BTC early on because i wanted to help promote other LGBT creators and it's hard to start from scratch on things like this. I know a handful of people from my community have played it or have even gone on to help manage aspects of it or the BTC community. I also talked to the lead developer a couple of times before the project became more community based and one of the main writers was an avid supporter of my project way back in the day; they both seemed like nice guys. I will say that the content in that game is a little past my personal comfort zone. I'm not into dom/subby play, power, bondage, or roleplay stuff at all, but that's a personal preference and shouldn't have any affect on how you or others view that project. I'm pretty vanilla when it comes to adult content-- hence why Straight!? is much more tame than some other projects. However, the renders were good and there's some good animation in the earlier builds that I was impressed with before I started doing more animation for my Revamp. Character personalities were unique and I'm always a fan of that and last I knew there were plans for a larger story (I played a very early build probably at least 2 years ago so I'm not sure where things are now). On a personal downside: I do know they've been increasingly using more AI, which I'm very much creatively against and won't be using in any of my projects.
That being said, I'm also terrible at playing other people's projects. In the past, I tried some other games and found that reading other people's writing tends to influence mine and that has negatively affected the consistency of Straight!? three different times so I mostly stopped until this is completed. Sometimes, I'll check out things between updates now but only if I'm able to not have it affect my own project-- it's just a personal weakness that I haven't figured out how to compensate for yet, but I'll get there eventually. Straight!? is a passion project for me that I didn't want influenced by anything else so I live in a bubble
. Sadly, that means that I'm very far behind on playing other games or stories so I'm not the best person to ask about recommendations.
