First Look: Main Menu Music

Hey all,

So after several years of fretting over sound and how to incorporate it, I want to officially share the Main Menu screen, with in-game music, for the first time. 

The new opening theme will make it's debut in the remake v0.01 coming soon. For now, take a look and listen. I'm not gonna say a lot of this post because you've read enough from me-- now you get to actually hear this world for the first time. I'm really happy with out it turned out and I can't wait to share it with you in the upcoming demo.

Thanks to Jordyn for doing the video and sound edits on this one. He's a master at this stuff.

As always, thank you for the support. I promise this is going to be worth it.

Not being a professional is probably what has made this effort so good. Art from the heart always speaks louder and more passionately. As for a sequel, well when that time comes it will be there. Until then we will wait. I have just spent a decade doing a Tarot deck in DS and know well the feeling. It does take a toll on you. Is it all worth it? Yes. Yes it is. Don't be concerned about being or not being a professional, You sir are an artist and I have seldom met a "professional" that was worth the title. But I have known artist that such a title fell far short of. Keep being an artist, you paint beautiful pictures.

it's not that i don't want to do one, i just take the project very serious and would have to make sure it would work and be worth it. It's taken me 5 years to get to where i am now and I still have a ways to go on this game. so confirming a sequel would tie me down for at least another 5 years and would have to be bigger and better. that's a lot so i'd want to make sure i had the content, motivation, story, resources-- all of that to make it work and do that project as much as I've wanted to do this one. I'd like to see all the same things that you would. there's story there, i just have to be ready to dive back in. also, keep in mind that i'm not a professional, i'm emotional as hell when i do this and i have to put myself into some pretty vulnerable mindsets to pump the writing out. that's pretty draining sometimes so i gotta balance that. we'll see what the future holds. this was a good project for me. i have zero regrets and it was worth every second. i'd love to do it again but i wanna make sure i'm ready-- the project and community deserve that

appreciate the love <3

You are right on again! Jordyn really is a master at this stuff and you are a master at getting the right emotions going in this wonderful story with just the right amount of erotism, passion, sexuality, excitement and love. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more great stuff from you and your team...

I know you've said you didn't want to do a sequel. But I would really love to see they boys at B's parents and how they react to Zak and B. How do B's parents take it. Maybe this story is told from B's perspective as he comes to terms with his feelings and sexual identity. If B's parents are accepting ( and I see no reason why they shouldn't be) how does Zak handle it being in another accepting environment. I know it may take a while but I'm willing to wait. In the meantime keep up the good work polishing.

well thanks. i'm sure it wont fit everyone's profile but it's pretty close to what i had in my head. we'll see how it goes. this part is all new to me

Aaryn

none is planned. I've stated a couple of times that my official position is going to be if i think of a story that's better than this one, then i'll do a sequel; but until then, i wanna keep this story intact and not run the series into the ground or try to do a cash grab

Aaryn

You are absolutely correct there! Music can be dangerous. A few otherwise good movies have been artistically ruined by lousy musical scores. I was a bit skeptical when you posted that you were adding music, but trusted your taste, and, as usual, you did not disappoint!

RH

Do you think there will ever be a sequel? I love the work.

did the same thing to me

Aaryn

thanks. i'm a big fan of it too

Aaryn

awww. thanks

Aaryn

nah, i'm a monster and make people wait :p

Aaryn

haha. awww. just wait til you see what it looks like now

Aaryn

nope. it's not a sequel. it's still the original game. I'm still working on development, specifically for the beginning part of the game that was written really poorly. it also will add music (as the post says obviously) and sound effects and a massive graphics upgrade

Aaryn

Beautiful - Gave me goosebumps :)

Beautiful music and it’s perfect for scene and story

Jose Pasalodos

So incredibly well-written, with great sensitivity. Masterful.

What, not the famous "Naked Braden"splash screen?! :D

Sebastian

Is this going to be a sequel to the first straight? Is this going to be about them being at Braden's parents house for the summer? Idk know but I would love to see a sequel

GOD DAMMIT THIS GAME ALREADY MADE ME CRY ENOUGH!!!! It’s absolutely perfect and beautiful!!! GREAT job!!

yeah, it really fits in my head. music is hard to get right cause everyone interprets it differently

Aaryn

yeah, that's how i felt. the crescendo builds and it's sad but uplifting at the same time. i feel like it captures it

Aaryn

Love it! The tempo reminds me of the parts of a good story: Simple beginning building in complexity to a climax, followed by a rapid denouement into a tranquil finish! Well done.

RH

Magnificent!! Great opening musical intro!! Just my observation but the tone of the music sets the mood. A subtle undertone that implies learning/growth and a slight crescendo that implies breakthroughs. Listened to it several times and is just got better. Well done Jordyn!! Well done Aaryn!! Standing O!!😍
