Hey all,
Tapping into the old Bruce Lee quote as a launchpad for today's free public post that's all about water.
For those following me on the hellscape previously known as twitter -- or on the much less cringy BlueSky, I recently mentioned some issues with water in the game. Later that translated into the random picture of Mom-Fucker in the hot tub here. While I've never considered myself an artist, I do think the process of creating things improves over time-- frequently causi...

Here it is, the second half of Chapter 6 and the ending to Part 2 of the story. Folks, I'm proud of this one. All roads from the Revamp have lead to this point and I did my best. I hope I've done it justice in the eyes of the many.
Remember, don't use old saves. New Game then follow the red prompts to just play the newest content.
There's also been a few other bug fixes as well as a complete crunching in audio files, reducing the overall size of the entire game download b...

Hey all,
So I don't do this very often but I wanted to share some exciting news.
I woke up today to find that Straight!? has been included in the 2024 Queer Games Festival in Melbourne. This is an annual festival that features mostly indie projects with queer themes or developed by queer creators. This is a great place to discover new creators and projects and it's both humbling and exciting to even appear within a showcase for an awards ceremony.
This year t...

So some of you awhile back expressed interest in seeing some of my practice stuff that never appears in game. The topic came up on the Discord again a few days ago so I thought I'd share this.
(This image will make more sense if you've played the entire original game and takes some inspiration from shots in Scarface or the A Clockwork Orange intro)
Over the past few weeks/months, I've been increasingly trying to work with water. While I'm not going to keep redoing the ga...

Hey all,
Wanted to check in as things settled down after the last Revamp update around here. Hoping everyone liked v13. I know I got a ton of great feedback on it which meant the world to me. Such an important part of the story and I'm glad so many of you liked the upgraded version.
That being said, it's time to move on towards the next chapter so I wanted to check in and sorta give some thoughts on where things are, what I'm thinking, and --quite honestly-- what I have no idea ab...

Yooo,
Wassup, peeps. So today I have something really exciting and special to share. Today we're going to be looking exclusively at the Before and After shots of the v13 Revamp Park scene. I know this scene is a fan favorite. For those of you who haven't played the full original story, I'm going to try my best to talk in code and avoid spoilers here but I may drop some hints while still giving existing players a clue how things are going to change. These pics themselves do have some s...

Hey all,
Hope everyone is doing well. I realized that I haven't done a Devlog update yet since the last Patreon release so I popped in here to check-in regarding Revamp v13. The crazy part is that we're only a month out from the last update and I've been working nonstop on the v13 update. The Devlog silence means that things have been going really well so let's do a recap of where things are as of right now.

So the writing is pretty much done. Ri...

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. All new and completely reshot, new music, new animations, new sounds, and some polish on the writing. Hope you enjoy.
Remember: Don't use old saves or it'll crash, cause errors, or skip sections

Hey all,
So today I got an email notification from Patreon regarding upcoming Apple IOS pricing changes.
Starting in November, Apple is requiring Patreon to charge an additional fee if you use the IOS App store to subscribe to a Patreon Creator. As reported, neither Patreon or the Creator will receive more money, the extra money is all going to Apple. To put this another way: if you use the IOS Patreon app and subscribe to a Creator using that app, it will charge you extra.

So i posted this on twitter last week and forgot to share it here. Last week was pretty frustrating from a development standpoint as I had some pretty game-breaking bugs that took the whole week to sort through. During that time, I took some time to step back and take a few deep breaths, recenter, and do something stupid so here you go.
If you didn't see social media lately, pics of the Turkish participant in the Olympics shooting competition went viral so I did my own version of this...

Hey all,
So today we got something different: a quick collaboration. Those of you that have been around for awhile may remember Blayke helping me with some writing feedback and editing stuff back with the original version of the game. As a result, I really want to back projects from people that have been there to help me.
So today we both did our own interpretation of a crossover between the Straight!? characters and the New Hope characters. I chose to just do a quick Justin (MC...

Aaand here we go, the end of Chapter 5-- this one's a doozy.
As always, don't use old saves, they'll crash or skip content, or give you error screens.
New music, hundreds of new pics, a new record on animations for a single update, and some pretty lengthy play time. Hope you enjoy the upgrade.
Thanks for the support, as always

Hi.
A few months ago, someone suggested that I rename the game development logs to a "diary." In the past, I've chosen to mostly stay in the shadows behind the characters. The term "diary" to me just feel very personal and I don't like really interjecting my personal side into the development process that often.
It was never about me.
That being said, there's a ton of me already in this project and the characters and many of the arguments and dialogues that take place throu...

Edit 5/22: Updated Android link with an image fix bug
Edit: All update links are now upgraded from v0.11.0 to v0.11.1. This new version has the upgraded animations renders that I mentioned below. If you already have v0.11.0 and you just want the videos, you can download them from the attachments below. Just put them into your str8remake/game/images/Movie folder and replace the 2 existing.
Android links are now uploaded.

Hey all,
So I wanted to check in and give a pretty detailed description of where things are. Update 11 has been another one of those that I've publicly admitted was hard to quantify progress and while I've been quiet over here, that was mostly because I wasn't sure how to explain where I was-- despite still working tirelessly.
So let's prance through the current status on things because I'm at a point now where I think I can better describe where things are at:

Heya,
So here's another teaser drop that I discussed in my recent video. In contrast to most Before/After pics, this batch of teasers really only focuses on one scene. While I have a few hundred pics completed for v11, a lot of those shots are more transitional shots, outfit changes, or things that we've scene before. Those pics do their job, they move the story forward but there weren't a lo...

Rest assured, things are moving along-- they really never stop tbh-- and right now I have about 125 new pics done for v11 and 3 animations.

In contrast to most of these DevLogs, I'm actually going to take a quick second to talk about the upcoming public Revamp v10 release on March 27. Normally, that public release is the same as the Patreon release but much like the last public release, this one will have one more addition not seen in the Patreon release.

Aaaaaand here we go. First half of Chapter 5 completely revamped with a whole new vibe to it. New sounds and still adding new music even 10 updates in. Lot of setup in this one and I like it already. It made me smile so that has to count for something.
The only other quick addition in this update besides Chapter 5 is that if you mistakenly click New Game, you now have an on-screen option to return to the Main Menu again.

And now, the exciting conclusion that will literally slap you in the face. I know, i got goofy on this one but it was fun to do for whatever reason. Sometimes the most intimate moments get better when they're completed ruined by us just doing human.
Like I said in the last post, if you want more to this sequence, let me know. I considered doing a super intimate part 2. Hope you enjoy my random crazy pic sets :p
