Edit: 7/12 Now Available for the $1 Tier

Edit: 7/11 Now Available for the $5 Tier

Edit: 7/7 Now Available for the $10 Tier

Here's the extended trailer including a few extra teaser shots. Grab some tissues and full credit to Blayke on this. I fucking bawled and couldn't even talk to him for like a half hour. 

I wish I could give an adequate introduction to this but honestly, it speaks for itself so I'll ...

Straight!? v0.21 Teaser Video

For those not on the Discord and my Twitter, we posted this teaser a few days ago to help turn up the hype for the end of a saga. If you haven't seen it, check it out above. 

Also, stay tuned for an extended cut of the trailer that is guaranteed to pull at some heart strings and take you back all over again. Credit to Blayke on this. The extended trailer destroyed me and it's everything you want it to be. The extended cut also includes a few of my favorite...

Dedication

So here we are, in the final walk of our journey through the first edition of Straight!? Leading up to the release of the last chapter, I'm going to be showcasing a few things that I'm adding to this version of the game that I've been working on and thinking about for a very long time. Also, the Dev Team has never seen any of these sooooo surprise. It's too late to change it now.

Because I know how quickly people like to speed click through the opening sequences of the game booting, I w...

DevLog Update

Hey all,

For those in the higher tier that have been getting Cody selfies on the daily, hopefully this log won't get lost in the shuffle. I wanted to check in regarding the game progress and update people so here we go. Also, these are getting way less professional because I'm trying to get the actual game done so don't hate me :p

If you're not following me on Twitter, I made a pretty huge announcement 2022-06-22 21:56:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Selfies: Cody (Part2) F, G, H, and I (Ending)

Hey all, here's the 4 shot ending sequence for the set.

Selfies: Cody (Part2) C, D, and E

Yep-- he did the thing. Enjoy :)

I worked really hard on the positions here--especially in shot E. It's one of my favs in the set

4K wallpaper edition in the void tier that turned out really good. Looks great on a company work computer. Just kidding. Plz dont' put this on your work computer. <3

Selfies: Cody (Part2) A and B

And here we go with shot 1 and 2 in the set. Super proud of how the lighting turned out in these shots. 

Selfies 24: Cody (Part 2) Public Teaser

Hey all,

So we're back again to continue the Cody set from last month. I'm gonna say this upfront, this first image is only a teaser and not the full image. Patreon has rules for content and I don't want to push that so I'm placing this entire set behind the pay wall just to make sure I don't get in trouble. However, the first pic may actually be ok for a public post-- I just don't want to take any chances.

That being said, this set went off the r...

Selfies 23i Cody

Last image for May

Stay tuned. The series will continue in June and there's a lot left :)

Attached is the non overlay version

Selfies 23a Cody

Hey all,

So I did the poll a few days ago and it was suuuuuper close the whole time. It looks like Cody pulled ahead but it was neck and neck the entire run. So I'm going to do Cody. However, for the Braden fans, I'll just do him next to balance things out since there was so much interest. 

So here's the public pic for the Cody set. I have a total of 9 shots in this set and I actually like it a lot. Per the usual, it'll span the donation tiers and gradually get more NSFW.&nbs...

May CG Set Poll: Which Solo Character Do You Wanna See?

Hey all,

(Mild v20.5 spoiler included below)

This is something I haven't done in forever because I usually don't like to do polls too much with this project. However, it's been awhile since I did a CG set and I've had some stuff shift in my personal life that cleared some extra time and motivation to reignite me into doing another set again so I'm going to poll the audience to see what you would like to see. The set will include at least one free shot and one shot...

DevLog Update

Hey all,

Been awhile and I wanted to check in while a folder worth of renders purrs quietly in the background. Things are a little more under control so I feel a tad more confident at giving people a more accurate idea of where things are right now so here we go.

Why Have I been Quiet?

First off, I always like being transparent so let's get the messy stuff out of the way first so we can move onto what's done. 

So, as I've stated before, v0.21 is p...

DevLog: Images and the Frustrating Consequences of DoF

Hey all,

So I've been meaning to get a DevLog out lately but instead I've been on damage control so I wanted to check in and essentially update everyone while continuing to chronicle some of the crazy shit that happens while you're trying to make games.

This devlog is specifically going to focus on some image problems I've been having and I'll check in about the entirety of the update in the next log that I'll drop pretty soon.

So I have a confession to make: I was an entitl...

Straight!? v0.21 Teaser 2

Yo,

I know I been quiet over here lately but the stuff that I've been working on has been really hard to share because of spoilers. I'm gonna do a devlog update pretty soon again to catch y'all up. 

I did want to share a shot to show some of the power of the new computer in comparison to older shots. Obviously, given the picture I'm showing, we're going to see the classroom again and I wanted to actually show more students in the school than what we've seen in the past. Mostl...

Awesome Upgrade (But Crappy Stock Picture)

Yo,

On the twilight of 2021, I wanted to share my optimism as well as give somewhat of a more public devlog this time around. A few years ago, with the support of game donations, I was able to upgrade from my older PC to a more modern rig. As this project, and my lofty goals, have continued to evolve, the need for more hardware was slowly becoming apparent. This is most notably during the v0.20 episode and the current one that I'm working on. To put it in context, most renders take arou...

Straight!? v0.21 Teaser 1

Yo,

Ok... real talk: v0.21 is gearing up to be the best looking update yet. I'm taking my time on this one to do it justice. Hopefully that doesn't translate into a million months of development but I do want to show off what I've been working on because I'm kinda excited about it.

First off, the park is my nemesis. It's a beautiful landscape and with moonlight added and stuff, it makes for some striking lighting effects. Now add in my new Depth of Field additions...

November New Hope Crossover: Part 4 of 4

Eyal backs out and gently runs his fingers through my hair. “You ok?”

I catch my breath. “Yeah.” My eyes flick back to him with hunger. I’m like the nicest guy in the world until someone flips that hormone switch and then I turn into an animal.

“More?” He flexes and grows another inch.

“Fuck yeah.” I grab his dick and squeeze it before shoving it back into my mouth deeper.

Eyal gasps loudly and his eyes narrow in concentration. He pushes in slowly and...

November New Hope Crossover: Part 3 of 4

On the way over to our dorm, I give Eyal a quick brief about Ashley and his charming personality towards strangers. I already know he’s going to say something stupid about Eyal’s accent ‘cause the boy can’t help himself. Ash can be a handful to most of us but I’m actually concerned he’ll be overly offensive to someone as well-spoken as Eyal is. Oh well, can’t protect him from himself. That just makes it worse. Honestly, I’d hate to guess how many meaningful people he’s drive...

November New Hope Crossover: Part 2 of 4

Part 2

It feels great to be in the water. I’m lucky Coach was here early before everyone shows up. No witnesses so I can finally just go all out, no holding back or restricting myself. I can finally work out some of this frustration and clear my head to keep myself together in front of the team. It’s always awkward when Ash tells them to do something and people look over right at me just after. It’s almost like they’re waiting on me to give them permission. ...

November New Hope Crossover: Part 1 of 4

So while I've been working on the new update, Blayke tagged in to help me get caught up on some Patreon content featuring a crossover of Mikhail and Eyal, my favorite character from his game New Hope that you can conveniently find here . So Blayke was practicing with some lighting effects in here with the pictures he was working on and I ended up deciding on something a little different as a result.

So how about a...

DevLog Update: Initial Thoughts on v021

Sup.

So I've been kinda quiet with the development on v021 so I wanted to check in. We've had a few questions on the Discord and on the last release post so I wanted to clarify a few things so the format on this DevLog is a little different. I'll address that first.

FAQ: Last Update?

So I've talked about v021 being the "last update" for the game and this is true but somewhat misleading in a sense as well. I'll continue to talk about this as the update moves ...

Straight!? v0.20.5 Free Public Release!!

Welp,

It's that time again, folks. This one was a lot harder than I wanted it to be but it's been a few weeks and having no regrets seems like a good thing. 

Last chapter part 1 starts now... ready... Go!

Please go easy with the Google links as it has limited downloads per day. Feel free to share this version openly. You can also discuss below and spoilers are ok. Also remember to not use old saves or the game will crash and you will get an error screen...

A Somewhat Overdue Thank You...

So I learned something in the past few weeks about saying thank you...

In contrast to a lot of posts on here that are directly related to game development, this one is a little more personal and I wanted to take the time to dedicate to it. The month of October was incredible for Straight!? and the support from the community after the release of v0.20 was completely overwhelming.

I’d had a conversation with Blayke right around the launch of the update due to seeing a fai...
