Hey hey! Hope you're all enjoying the latest update :D
I've created these backgrounds just for you, as a special thanks for your continued support :) Looks like Justin can't stop dreaming about Ethan... no matter how hard he tries.

It's finally time! V0.4 is here with a bunch of new content for you to enjoy!
I have edited the original early access post, so if you want to avoid spoilers - do not look in the comments section!
Please be reminded that using old saves from previous versions WILL crash the game. You will need to start a new game and skip ahead to the new content (unless you fancy replaying with all the new music I've added in ;D )
This wi...
Thanks for supporting this project everyone <3 It's been a real fun process to create v0.4 and I'm feeling the love so thank you!
For my £15 tier peeps - stay tuned for tomorrow with the extra special desktop background :D
Just 1 more sleep until New Hope V0.4 drops! Theo isn't feeling all that festive though, so I'm gonna need your help to cheer him up!

Aaaaand here's the NSFW versions :)
Jeremy is suuuuuper not comfortable showing off his body, so big steps for him! Hopefully we can encourage him enough so he plays for us again in the near future!
With just two days to go until New Hope releases for Early Access - Jeremy thought he'd take part in the countdown! He's kinda shy... and not overly comfortable with having his picture taken. So show him some love!

And here's the NSFW version! I don't know about you... but Eyal could do anything to me and I wouldn't mind ;)

Today we're featuring Eyal, sporting a golden croptop!

And here's the NSFW version! Gotta say, when I woke up this morning I didn't think my gay ass would be rendering tits but... here we are haha!
Enjoy :)

This one is for all my lady lovers out there! I know not everyone that plays New Hope identifies as gay, so here's some Rachael eye candy just for you!
Enjoy :)

Oh damn - Ethan's really teaching us how it's done!

Just 5 days left until the release of V0.4! Ethan saw how much fun Justin had on this shoot, and just had to try it out for himself!

Here's the NSFW version of Justin's Desktop background!
Testing out some leg hair on him so let me know what you think ;D
We're just six days away until the release of New Hope V0.4! Today I'm highlighting the main boy himself, Justin! This 4K UHD image is perfect for a desktop background, or maybe you wanna get it printed and framed... who knows, maybe there's a Justin shrine out there somewhere ;)
NSFW versions available on tiers £10+
Hey everyone! I'm here with an exciting announcement! New Hope V0.4 will launch on Friday 16th September, 12:00pm BST
This update features the continuation of the main story, as well as 3 possible routes depending on who you spent the night with previously. I'd highly recommend playing all three routes, they're very different and full of extra content you won't get to see otherwise!
I've also added music and sfx to the game! It's very early stages and I'm still learning the codi...
Hey peeps! Bit of a surprise post but these images came as a surprise to me too!
Hey peeps! Bit of a surprise post but these images came as a surprise to me too! One of my good friends sent these to me and gave me permission to share with you guys on here too!
I love the Polaroid vibe - and I'm thinking of maybe doing a full CG set later this month with that theme. What do you all think?
(Also included the oil painting because it's super cute.)
Let my friend know ...
Hey peeps! Here's the NSFW set for this month :D
Hey peeps! Here's the NSFW set for this month :D
Just a quick update on Game Progress whilst I have your attention ;)
ALL CG's have now been rendered, and 90% have now undergone post production edits. Tomorrow, I'll be finishing my edits and working through the coding to fix any bugs that are cropping up. Then - it's the play testing phase!
I can now confirm that New Hope V0.4 will launch in September! No official ...
Hey hey! Sorry it's been a minute!
I've been super galvanised and focused on finishing up these last scenes, and I'm very optimistic that ALL renders will be completed tomorrow. That means I can finish Post Production edits, do a playthrough and send over to my play testers ready for bug testing!
While that happens, I'll be working on music and sound and working that into the update too. So that's why I've kinda slowed down Patreon content the past few weeks. Not to worry, I'll...
Hey guys! I've been struggling to decide which of these designs I like better for Eyal- so I thought I'd come to you for help! You can preview the outfits by clicking on the attachment below, and then vote for which one you prefer!
This outfit is specific for Eyal's route, and determines what he'll be wearing for that section of the update :)
This is a 24 hour poll - so cast your votes quick!
So here we are again, the start of another short story! Blind Date was so much fun, and it reminded me how much I love creating new characters and worlds. Hopefully, you all enjoy Lonely Lights just as much, if not more!
For anyone who hasn't seen any of the promo posts; Lonely Lights is a short story featuring small town boy Nico, and his worldwide famous singer boyfriend, Austin. This short story follows them on the last leg of Austin's tour, and we'll get to see whether Nico is rea...
Hey everyone! I think it’s time I did one of those longer posts that Aaryn is so famous for ;) I’m gonna take a page out of his book and go through my unfiltered thoughts, and my reason for ultimately deciding to create New Hope, and the other Apollo Studios content.
I originally joined the Str8 team because Aaryn trusted my creative eye, and valued my opinion when it comes to writing and narrative. But, that opinion didn’t come from nowhere. I’ve been an aspiring writer since I...

Hey peeps! So you may have seen already over on Twitter/Discord - but the next Short Story that's starting this weekend is called Lonely Lights.
It features Austin (an international popstar / stage name Leo), and Nico (a small town boy who prefers the quiet life.) You can read their previews in the images above, but I'll also copy them below for you.
Additionally, you can watch the

Hey VIP Club! Now that the short story Blind Date has officially ended, I thought I'd post an exclusive sneak peak for the first draft of the Lonely Lights Teaser video.
Lonely Lights is the next short story which will start in August. It centres around Nico and Austin, two guys who have fallen in love but co...
It's time Blind Daters, the final part is here and I've been delaying posting because I don't wanna see these two go. But Simon and Dylan's journey has come to an end for now, so please~ enjoy and let me know your final thoughts in the comments!
Goodbye Blind Daters <3 -Blayke
Who's ready for some steamy seaside antics? ;)

*Apologies on the slight delay - turns out I accidentally scheduled this for next month by accident! Editing this now so I can post today for you! Part 3 will still be available later today*
Looks like Dylan has shown up to join the fun, but I don't think Ethan is best pleased... well, at least not at first ;)
The next 2 parts will be available on the £10+ tiers and feature some fun NSFW images. So keep an eye out for that!
Earlier this month I posted a 1 hour poll on Twitter & Patreon, for who everyone wanted as this months CG set. Surprisingly it ended in a tie between Ethan and Dylan!
"Where is Dylan - he's not in the pictures?" Well~ you'll have to wait for Part 2 tomorrow to find out ;)
Part 9 is here Blind Daters! This is the penultimate update for Blind Date, next week we'll see the story come to a close. I hope you've enjoyed this little story so far, I don't think I'm ready to say bye to these two just yet!

Thanks for your support! -Blayke <3
Hey hey! It's been a while since I posted one of these so I think it's about time! First things first, now that Straight!? has released it's final chapter update - I'll be resuming New Hope production at full speed :) If you haven't played the Straight!? update (or the game at all) you can download the game over at Aaryn's Patreon!
So let's break this down into different sections.
Script:&...
