Straight!? Revamp v0.05.1 Patreon Release

Yo!

So here we go with the second half of Chapter 2. This mostly focuses on the doctor's office visit and the fallout after. I'm pretty happy how this turned out and I'm happy with some of the changes we're gonna see here. Lot of new dialogue and conversation, more new music and sounds, and a few animations peppered in there for practice. Overall this thing just looks waaaaay better than the first attempt. I hope you enjoy it. As always, lemme know what ya think.

Update Tomorrow

Hey all,

Wanted to check in because I usually try and give a little notice on the updates. Jordyn is finishing up the images for me today then I'm gonna run through the update and do a few final tests (in particular with the Linux version which has been the bane of my patience lately) to make sure that's working again. 

v0.05 Update

Expect v0.05 to drop tomorrow. I don't have an exact time. Ideally, I would setup everything tonight and either schedule i...

DevLog Update

Hey all,

I know I've been kinda quiet lately but that silence has translated into some pretty heavy progress with the v0.05 update so today let's run through a few of those things and get everyone caught up with where things are. We'll end with a projected release date.

There's a lot to cover so let's jump in.

Writing

So writing is pretty much done. This update is more linear than the past few, which honestly, I needed to help give my brain a break fro...

DevLog: Before/After Doc Office

Hey all,

So it's that time again for another teaser. This one is actually kinda late as I sorta got so busy with actually doing the development that I forgot to share information about what I'd accomplished. So bad news: I was quiet; but the good news is the update is already almost done. So let's dive into the Before/After shots for the doctor office physical and beyond.

VideoDevLog Edition:

I'm terrible at marketing and pitching my own stuff, but if you're...

Straight!? Revamp v0.04.2 Public Release!

Sup.

So here we go, the FREE public release of v0.04.2 of Straight!? This starts Chapter 2. There's a big more free roam for a bit in parts of this one because I was trying to save as much of the original script as I could. I've replaced that repeating stuff but I still wanted some of those parts captured because they were an original part of the game so now they're just more voluntary routes and things to go look at or experience a little more of the world. I'm pretty happy how this on...

DevLog (Doc Office Lobby Teaser Edition)

Hey all,

I wanted to check in with another DevLog. For those that didn't know, I tested out an audio DevLog that I dropped a few days ago here. It's in the $20 tier to limit the number of people that saw it in case it's terrible, lol. I'm not sure what the plans are for that in the future but it seemed to go over pretty well and people are wanting more of them. In that version, you'll see a sl...

Straight!? Revamp v0.04 Patreon Release!

Aaaaand here we go. Here's the first part of Chapter Two. Lot of development behind the scenes of this one. If you're curious about the specifics, check out the last few DevLogs that spell it out.

As always, don't use old saves. I think I added some new variables and scenes here that weren't in the original.

Let me know if there's any problems with this. I'm gonna be around today, ready for tech support or hotfixes but I'll likely not have access to make changes on Friday...

DevLog Update: v0.04 Hopefully This Week!

Hey all,

So I wanted to drop another line to keep everyone in the loop since there's been a lot more game update releases lately than there has supplemental content here-- which is what I expected during these early chapters. 

But I wanted to check in and keep everyone posted. 

So rather than make you read all the way to the end, let's just get the good stuff out of the way: I'm hoping to release v0.04 this week. I'll be offline probably most of Sa...

DevLog: Animation Edition

Yo,

Hey all. So I've been working on something  that we'll hopefully see in this next update and I kinda wanted to shine some light on it ahead of time as well as give some hints at future things that we'll be seeing in the revamp later.

So attached is a very quick animation (It's only 5 seconds) and unlike most teasers and stuff, I wanted to give this one a little context. So in v0.04, Zack will be giving Braden the orange singlet that he finds in the shower room. I've talke...

DevLog: Let's Talk About Singlets (Before/After)

Hey all,

So it turns out I lied-- but that's a good thing.

In the last DevLog, I stated that I didn't really have much image-wise to share for this update since it's sorta transitional, using a lot of previous locations and character positions (dorm room, talking on bed, cleaning shower, stuff like that). I have managed to add a few new image perspectives on those which should make things feel less repetitious or monotonous, however, I still felt shitty for that post because you s...

Straight!? Revamp v0.03.3 Public Release!

Hey all,

So this was supposed to be out on January 16 and I ran into a problem but here it is. This finishes out Chapter 1 of the revamp. Hope you enjoy it. 

Please remember, don't use any old saves. I really had a goal to make old saves work with the revamp but I keep adding things and have been changing the code around. It may be possible in the future but still won't work for now. Always start a New Game and click the red letters that say "update."

Thanks ...

DevLog Update

Hey all,

So I wanted to check in regarding the next update and bring everybody up to speed after the holidays. I've been a little quiet trying to organize things on this update so let's jump straight into where things are at.

Writing and the Focus

So I've never avoided discussing setbacks and problems that I've had. That's part of the process and it's also part of being an amateur at this. Organizing this particular update has been frustrating. I'm still try...

Straight!? Revamp v0.03.3 Patreon Release!

Edit: Missing Images Hotfix: if you have v0.03.2, you can download the attachment "images.zip" below. Unzip and place the unzipped "images" folder into your "Str8Remake/game" folder. Otherwise all links are now updated to v0.03 and v0.02 is dead.

Yo,

So here we go with the second half of the Chapter 1 download links. Lot of new content here and visuals plus a few changes that both play homage to the original but also feel more in l...

Straight!? Revamp v0.03 Set to Release Tomorrow!

Hey all,

Had a few issues that I ran into that pushed me back a few days. However, the last few bugs and additions are being handled today. I'm looking at a release date tomorrow on 12/20 so it's an early Christmas Present to the $5 and up tiers. 

So bank on the free version dropping 3 weeks after that. Not sure of the time yet. Hopefully. It'll drop here first then I'll announce it on my other networks so you may want to follow over there if you're not already, just so you d...

DevLog Update

Hey all,

So I dropped some teaser pics a couple days ago, but I wanted to put out one of the usual DevLog posts that gives a more in-depth overview of where things are for the next update.

Here we go...

Writing

So the rough draft for the writing is complete. Now... I'll be honest on this one, the writing in a couple spots here is very "rough." I'm still trying to string the repeating sections of the original game into a more linear story and that's req...

DevLog (NSFW): Pool and Shower Fixing and Shower End Scene

Heya,

So here's another edition of the Before/After pics that I've been sharing. I also hinted at a regular text DevLog last week but got busy working on stuff and literally was updating things so fast that it seemed pointless to tell people what I was working on because it kept changing. But, I'm gonna do a text version pretty quick again here. Spoiler alert: I'm at the tail end of it so v0.03 should be done before too long.

But until then...

This will probably be the last ...

Straight!? Revamp v0.02.2 (Free Public Build)

Heya,

So here's the first half of the free Chapter 1 public build. 

Note: if you played the Demo, you'll have to start over for this update and this update only. Just click New Game. If you don't care to play through the beginning portion again, just hold down Ctrl to fast forward. You should be caught back up in a few seconds. The next v0.03 update will have the usual menu options to drop you at the end of the previous update.

Enjoy!

v0.03 is loo...

DevLog: Ernie Item Interactions Before/After

Hey all,

So still working hard on v0.03 and it's coming along nicely. I'll go into more detail in the typical written DevLog before too long (probably after the weekend. I wanna see how far I can get, but I got a stack of images to render tonight).

But for today, we get to take another look at a change we'll be seeing in the v0.03 revamp, particularly in how items are used that we find in the story. I'm just going to jump straight into the screenshots to help describe more of the ...

DevLog: Spent Last Few Days in the Bathroom :p

Welp,

Been hard at work on v03 in the wake of the Patreon release on v02. I know that v02 release was kind of rushed and came out of nowhere but I'm still trying to get my bearings down on the revamp and it's workload. That being said, I've made some pretty good strides this week in terms of organization and today I wanted to do another exhilarating episode of show-and-tell featuring the bathroom.

Originally, the bathroom made it's appearance around the 3rd or 4th release of the o...

Straight!? Revamp v0.02.1 (Patreon Build)

Edit 11/2: Added Android version

Hey all,

So here's the first Patreon build of the revamp that includes the first few days of the enhanced version of the game. This includes the original free demo plus 245 new CGs and several new music tracks and sounds. 

There's some new additions from the previous rough draft version and a pretty cool vibe to things that I feel like was missing in the earlier parts. Let me know what you think. This version will go ...

Patreon Billing Changes

Heya,

So I wanted to make a public post about the Patreon billing changes. Back in September, Patreon announced they were going to be rolling out the option for Creators to modify the monthly billing to a new system referred to as "subscription billing." 

The old Patreon system has Patrons billed on the 1st of every month, regardless of when you joined the site. The crap side of this is if you have a new member who joins at the end of the month, they can get immediately bille...

DevLog Update: Update Revamp v0.02 Release Date Info

Hey all,

So much of this month has been spent by focusing on some housekeeping prep as well as the work on the first official Revamp release of v0.02. The housekeeping has mostly been something that I've put off for awhile. About a year ago, I had a pretty devasting computer glitch that wiped out the current build of Straight!? in the final few updates and sent me spiraling for a few days to try to get things restored. At that time, I used backups but mostly just manually copie...

DevLog Update: Watching TV and Ernie

Hey all,

So I've been kinda quiet and that's mostly because I've been trying to organize the script a bit and pumping out images. The beginning of the game has all those repetitious parts that I'm not a fan of. I'm trying to streamline those while still keeping the essence of the original writing. It's proven... challenging.

However.  I'm making progress. Bad news is, and I warned about this before, these first few updates are going to be a bit slow. Mostly because I have...

DevLog Pic Update: Braden Studying and Outside First Look

Hey all,

So for those on the Discord, I've been a bit quiet the last week as I finally, after 2 years of avoiding it, got covid and it kicked my ass. I've been down since last Monday with not much progress made. That being said, I'm stepping back into the role and trying to make up lost time now so bear with me.

Initial feedback for the Revamp Demo seems to be very positive so I wanted to jump back into that and give you a taste of the next update which will focus on the first day...

Yep, I'm trying something different here if you couldn't tell. Also, to anyone curious, Void pics retain the... smudge.

Part 6 and last up for the $5 folks. You can probably see where this is going...

Straight!? Revamp v0.01.4 (Demo)

Hey all,

So here's the first peek at the Demo for the revamp of Straight!? 

This includes Day One where Zack and Braden meet for the first time. Major graphic overhaul, sound effects, and music are now part of the experience. I'm already hard at work on the update after this so stay tuned for more. Hopefully, this will give you an idea of what this thing will look like moving forward.

It should be pretty obviously but this is a complete new project so saves from the pre...
