Hey all,
While I've been busy writing and doing game CGs, Jordyn is continuing to work his craft with the Patreon content for this month. Since it's Pride month, we figured we'd do a wallpaper style set for people to enjoy featuring the main cast. So here's the public version as well as the breakdown for the other images. Images are kinda light this month because we're still trying to catch up other pics that are going to be used in game.
pic 1: Free/Public

So here's another teaser pic from the new update in progress. Hopefully you can see some of the image quality changes, specifically the light. This one wasn't the best from this set but it has the least amount of spoiler potential for now so I'm rolling with it just so you guys know things are still moving forward.
Enjoy :)

Hey all,
So first off, I know I jumped back to the typical DevLog format here rather than doing the fancy PDF version. This is only for the sake of time this week because I'm actually getting things done and I really don't wanna slow down and spend a lot of time on extra formatting just for these notes.
Been awhile since I caught you up so there's a lot to cover here again so let's dive into another exciting episode of Aaryn's Wall of Text.

I usually stay out of politics when it comes to my creative side.
But I published this custom pic on my Twitter a few days ago after talking with Blayke a bit the other day and we came to the agreement that a game like Straight!? was founded on diversity and was specifically designed to have a narrative that goes against the status quo. It should come as no surprise that we support all people of Color and take pride in the diverse group of people that have been attracted ...

I dropped a post a few days ago about changes in regional tax laws that is affecting companies like Patreon. While I have to pay taxes on all contributions to the game on my end, now many areas of the world a...

Hey all,
So super boring post here but this is something that needs to get out there with some notification because it will effect some game supporters.
Beginning July 1st, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges based on recent law changes in several countries and US states. This will not affect everyone, for example, changes based on VATS in the EU were already implemented in 2015 so EU supporters will not be affected at all.

Hey all,
Sorry about the silence recently. My normal job workload is absolutely destroying me right now. I'm going to work pretty heavily on Str8?! things this weekend if I can and try and get a devlog out in the next few days (goals) to try and get you some updates.
However, on the picture side of things, I have quite a few new CGs done. The problem here is that a lot of them are more spoiler than normal. To the point that I'm actually just going to display a cropped image ...

The finale, and my personal fav... a very subby side of Max
I'm still viewing this as a Part 1 so we'll probably come back to this set in the future.
Hope you enjoyed em.
Thanks for the support, y'all
Stay safe out there <3

Hi guys, it’s Blayke!
Here is Straight!? - Chapter 1 Part II :D
This one was a little tricky, because we all know that the start of the game can be abit of a journey what with all the repetitive days. Adapting it to suit a novel format took some time, as I needed to pull out everything that was important, scrap things that weren’t… and then string them back together a semi-descent chronological timeframe.
So reading ...

Yo,
Dropping the next smutty selfie. So I'm pretty proud of a few of these because of the light effects. I still have a long way to go but hopefully you can see the intent here and more realistic lighting.
I'll also say that this is a nighttime set. So think of visual shots and shadows like this in the future for some of the night shots after they turn the lights out. You can also imagine what this would look like for the early game shots when we go back and redo things.

Aight, first pic up for the $5 folks.
I'm still fairly happy with the lighting on this one but I was a lot happier with the next two. Upcoming alternate angles in the next one.
Also, I'm a dick and forgot to mention in the first two that Blayke did the Snapchat overlay you're seeing for this set and that totally wasn't me, I'm useless with Photoshop stuff and want to make sure he gets credit.

Hey all,
So it's been forever since I posted one of these but I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seats waiting on another edition of the manic ramblings of an over-caffeinated game dev during the Apocalypse.
First off, I planned to post this a few days ago but we ended up having a quick poll on the Discord to see what people wanted us to post first between the DevLog, the new Max selfie, or the next portion of the novel version that Blayke has been working on. Turns out...

This month, I'm taking the lead on the selfies again and giving Jordyn a break so he can work some Photoshop magic on game CGs. This month will showcase Max in quite possibly the sluttiest set of pics I've ever done. Why? 'Cause Max is seriously growing on me and is apparently pretty freakin' subby.
So here's the breakdown for the month and we'll be dropping these pics periodically (every 3 days-ish) throughout the month to spread the set out. There's 7 pics total...

So it hasn't been that crazy long ago that I shared a teaser image, but I wanted to drop another one early in the month here. Essentially, the first teaser image was more of a code than anything else--a teaser to help make some suggestions--some of which we may be seeing here. However, that first image didn't really give you much that you hadn't seen before visually.
I plan to try and drop a DevLog in the very near future to try and get y'all updated (I know, it's been forever)...

So I've put this off for awhile because I'm never good at these kinds of things...
So back in October 2017, I started this project solo, but over the past few years, the team has grown. Lazy Jayke started out as a game fan and made an animation for me as a way of saying thanks for the game. I've said it numerous times that supporting projects like this doesn't have to be financial. There's a million ways of expressing the impact of the game on you and Lazy Jayke found one of my favorite...

Hey all,
So for those of your in the $1 and $5 tier. Jordyn ended up doing a cover for the comic he made at the last minute so I wanted to pass that along and share it.

So Jordyn ran into some problems late in the evening but here they are. This finishes out this version of his comic.
Stay tuned for a separate post, too. He ended up making a cover for it so we'll post it separately. I know it's late but it's a learning process.

So here's the next page and we finally get to see who stumbled into the coffee shop while Cody had his hands full on break.
It's none other than Jordyn himself who just dropped himself into the Str8 universe.
So fun fact: I've never actually done an official post on Jordyn joining the team so stay tuned for that in the coming days along with some other news about the dev team. But spoiler alert, Jordyn has been helping for awhile.
Next page starts at the $10 tier. Ther...

Yo,
So I know it's been quiet over here a bit. I'll put more specifics out in the next DevLog (which is way overdue) but I did wanna share a teaser pic for v0.18. I've officially started working on some of the art for it and these outside images are a bitch to render (this one took about 17 hours).
I know that last update hit like a truck and ended on a downer. I know that there's a lot of uncertainty in the world right now and just a lot of general craziness--we all could p...

Yo,
Ok... So something new this time from my buddy, Jordyn. We're moving things in a different direction for the selfie set this month. I'm not really sure what to call it but it's definitely not a selfie--but whatever. This is somewhat of a test to try a different genre we've tossed around and much like the alpha version of Str8, we may as well test out some other mediums to give ourselves more options later.
So Pic 1 we have here is just the teaser. Jordyn is actu...
