Straight!? Revamp v0.12.1 Patreon Release!!
Added 2024-07-24 13:58:42 +0000 UTCEdit: Android links are up!
Hey folks,
And here we are: the first half of Chapter 6. This is the first half of one of the most popular chapters in the story and I've publicly talked about some concerns with this update. Welp, I think it's finished so here we go. All new and completely reshot, new music, new animations, new sounds, and some polish on the writing. Hope you enjoy.
This one took a couple extra days but in the meantime, I already got a jump on v13 :)
Remember: Don't use old saves or it'll crash, cause errors, or skip sections
Like always, the Android version is going to be coming soon. I'm dropping the desktop versions first then i'll be out of town for a few hours and back tonight. If Jordyn has time during the day to get the Android version done, then we'll update the links remotely and send out a new notification.

haha, thanks Drew. i appreciate this. also: sorry i'm slow getting back. been busy with the next update and some problems with it so i apologize and I'm catching up on these messages now. I'm glad you caught that double sided quote from Mikhail. it was a fun addition that sorta just came out while i was doing through the writing and i'm like why the hell wasn't this in here before? also, thank you for your kind words. I appreciate lurkers and that's ok. I'm pretty shy myself. I also love hearing from people that the story had an impact on: particularly when its the impetus behind some self reflection. I am proud of my journey. it's been amazing and a health experience for me. I've met some amazing people and have received thousands of thoughtful letters and responses. there's not a day that passes where i'm not grateful for it. so thank you. truly. but i thank you for your cheering and for joining me on this journey. we're in it together man <3

2024-08-06 17:35:39 +0000 UTCyeah, this part is a bit rough but i think it makes things matter. hopefully at least the drama and tension had a purpose to it though. i'm not a big fan of drama for no reason

2024-08-06 17:34:56 +0000 UTCthank you. i was respectfully worried about this chapter so I'm glad it held up. I do like some of the changes though and I think i'm happy with it. it feels warmer than before. stay tuned for the next one. that's the big one

2024-08-05 22:32:56 +0000 UTCI love this story more than anything however this is the most painful part to read. I love the characters and know what will come but it is heart wrenching watching it unfold. That being said I will continue to be a loyal reader and participant. Way to go Aaryn and your crew!!!!

2024-07-28 03:40:20 +0000 UTCJust finished going through this new update. I've been anxiously waiting to get some quiet time alone to sit and enjoy it. I'm so happy right now. The new graphics are gorgeous, and the writing was on point. I know you stressed about this one because it's such a pivotal chapter, but trust me when I say you did an incredible job. It felt fresh and engaging. I both laughed out loud and teared up, despite knowing what was going to happen. I appreciate the extra touches you dropped in here and there. Without giving anything away, I'll just say that the double-sided "...when you're ready" comment from Mikhail was brilliant. I've been quietly lurking here for a bit ever since finding this story and have wanted to express my appreciation, but haven't because the words always seem to escape me when I sit down to write them -- always sounding trite or like something I'm sure you've heard a thousand times from others. But genuinely... thank you for this story. It's touched me very deeply, brought me incredible joy, made me look at certain things in my life with a fresh set of eyes, and has made me a little less hard on myself for who I am. It takes something special to shake someone to their core like that, so I hope you're very proud of what you've created. I can't wait to continue watching your vision come to life. I'm sure the amount of work, patience, and love that goes into creating a whole world and narrative like this is staggering, but know that I'm cheering you on.

2024-07-27 03:07:18 +0000 UTCyooo, what's up man? if you're having problems with something I'm definitely willing to reach out or troubleshoot. especially since it's affects other creators, too, it sounds like. creators have enough obstacles to getting their stuff out there the way it is-- i dont like hearing that the website is one of them-- especially for someone who's been around for a long time. In terms of SubscribeStar: Yeah, i've considered other sites as well but i just haven't pulled the trigger. my mindset is basically if i have free time to work on the project, i always want to put that back into the project and not spend it trying to spread to other websites for financial gain. sure, that's probably how i should be for a business mindset-- but i'm just not wired that way. Plus, i wasn't sure if i could manage another website on top of all the sites and accounts i am right now. Project comes first to me. SubscribeStar has also been associated with more hardcore content that's banned elsewhere and i wasn't sure if i wanted to open myself up to that. I'll DM you and see if i can help at all
