Sneak Peek #31: Heading to Class

I've got a fun grab bag of previews for you today. This time, I've got CGs from what may occur as Connor finally gets out of bed and heads to class. Be warned that these images could be considered big spoilers, but if you're a fan of Riley, Tomas, and/or Will and don't care about spoilers, then read on or check out the gallery!

Connor the Exhibitionist

Morning wood is inevitable for an 18-year-old college boy. What isn't inevitable is whether or not you give your roomma...

Game Update #55

It's time for the first of May's game status updates!

Today's cover image is Connor taking his very first dick pic. But who is he taking it for...?

This isn't going to be a super lengthy post since there hasn't been a ton of progress since the last update. I sort of worked myself to exhaustion, and that combined with some personal issues led to a creative stall. It's what contributed to last month's Bonus Gallery being late. (If you're a Junior or above, you can check that gallery...

April 2024 Bonus Gallery: Riley & NC17 - Unexpected Urges

The most recent volunteers for the 21CA "Awakening" photography project were called to the studio classroom to pick up their finished prints. They showed off to each other how good their photos turned out—and how sexy. The show-and-tell put some of the guys in a certain type of mood... like Riley and NC17.

Riley and NC17 have never really interacted, but both found themselves t...

April 2024 Guy Gallery: Awakenings, Series Two - Inspirations

Many of us can trace back to the time we first realized we were interested in men as more than just friends—and often that sexual awakening was inspired by a hot guy in a TV show or movie we watched, saw in a magazine, or stumbled across online.

21CA's freshmen photographers have been assigned a project based on this. They need volunteers to reveal who their first crush was, then pose for a recreation of an image of the volunteer's crush that they found especially inspiring.

Game Update #54

We're well past due for a new game status update, so I'm back with one today!

Let's start with the cover boy, Dominic—my last update about him since the poor lad has been massively overexposed the past few months.

Art

Thank you again to everyone who commented on the two Dominic feedback posts. Based on the comments, I made a few changes with proportions, and also reverted his sprites' standing pose to the original to bring back that casual feel.

All of his art has...

Sneak Peek #30: Best Mates & Dormmates

It's been awhile since I've done one of these! I've got a supply of naked and mostly naked boys on hand, so I figured it was long past due for me to share them with you as a sneak peek at what's coming soon.

New Character: Ian

 If you've played Dominic's storyline, you may remember him talking about his best mate from back home, Ian. Ian will be popping up in person later on in the story...

Dominic Feedback Request, Round 2

Hey there, everyone. After the excellent feedback I received on the first post about a Dominic model change, I've spent some time redesigning and refining a new version. Now I'm back with another request for feedback.

If you missed the first post, in brief: All character models have been getting adjustments during the transition from the public version of the game to the Morning After Update...

Game Update #53

I hope everyone is having a good weekend! I have a new game status update for you today.

First, the cover image - I thought I'd share another look at what's coming in the Morning After Update. Turns out, just because you can't hook up with Asher in reality, that won't stop him from getting intimate with you in your dreams...

Let's look at where I'm at as of today.

March 2024 Bonus Gallery: Antonio & Blaze - Spread 'Em

It took some time, but Blaze finally remembered which of his past hookups he was supposed to meet with—Alex's enigmatic bodyguard, Antonio. And he remembered why he forgot in the first place—Antonio gruffly whispering "you were never here" after their tryst in a secret back alley office.

But Blaze turned out to be too good of a fuck for Antonio to one-and-done him. Antonio is paid to keep ...

March 2024 Guy Gallery: Encounters - Who's Your Daddy?

Resident stoner Blaze doesn't have the best memory—he lives his life in an ever-present haze. Normally he finds his inability to stress over the past a boon for his artistic expression... but sometimes he has very important appointments to keep, like tonight. He's supposed to meet up with a past hookup to turn things into a fuck buddy situation, but now he can't remember who it was.

Blaze has a thing for older guys, so he decides that's a good place to start. But which of his past con...

Feedback Request - Potential Dominic Change

Hey there, patrons. I have a poll to get some feedback on a potential character model change for Dominic.

Game Update #52

Hey, everyone! It's time for March's second game status update.

Today's cover image is the new main menu background for the Morning After Update. I'm returning to the tradition of highlighting a few of the guys with more prominent roles in the update. This image may change in the full release, but it's the general direction I'm heading in this go round.

The main menu isn't the only art piece I created—the past few weeks has been very art heavy as I created and updated C...

Game Update #51

Happy Wednesday, friends! I've got March's first game status update for you today.

If you read the accompanying post to the belated February Bonus Gallery, you'll know I had technical difficulties last week with renders, which put me a little behind. But I'm still moving steadily along creating the next dev build for the Morning After Update. Let's look where I'm at.

February 2024 Bonus Gallery: Matt & Parker - Extra Credit

The promo photoshoot for the theater department's upcoming play was a success, but after everyone else leaves for the day, Matt and Parker linger. They have a big sex scene together on stage, and they decide to see if they can get extra credit by taking some unplanned promo pics featuring just the two of them. Who wouldn't be enticed to come see the play knowing this big-dicked duo will be gettin...

The results are in! Matt took an early lead and his scene partner with a quarter of the final votes is Parker! The Bonus Gallery featuring Matt figuring out how to take Parker's oversized dick will be coming tomorrow—I think it'll be a good one 😏

I thought it'd be fun have this month's Guy Gallery feature the guys from the first Morning After Update dev build. Now's your chance to vote for which of the boys most caught your eye and potentially see them in a steamy hookup. Make your choice below!

February 2024 Guy Gallery: Hot Shots - Wrong Door

Some of the 21CA actors are doing promo photos for a very erotic play they've been cast in. Though the photos will be censored when they go on social media, the boys all agree that for the shoot itself, no modesty socks or flaccid dicks are allowed!

Partway through the shoot, Evan stumbles into the studio after opening the wrong door, lost on his way to class once again. The horny headliners insist this must be fate. They encourage the nervous freshman to embrace life ...

Behind the Scenes #7: Revising a Character Model

In the very first Behind the Scenes post I spoke about how I create new, custom character models using Daz 3D assets. I'm currently in the process of revising many of the earliest models I made, so this month's Behind the Scenes post will discuss how I take a critical eye to each model after having worked...

February's bimonthly game status update is a little late due to the big news of the past few weeks—the first dev build for the Morning After Update is complete!

1st Morning After Update Milestone Reached!

Hey there, everyone! I'm so pleased to let everyone know that the first milestone has been reached in the development of the Morning After Update. A new dev build featuring the continuation of the stories at Matt's apartment and the frat house has just been shared with Senior & Graduate patrons!

A "dev build" is an in-progress build of the game that features a completed chunk of content and marks one big step forward towards the version everyone can play. This dev b...

Game Update #49

Hey there, folks. I'm here with the first February game status update.

First—we've just passed the two year anniversary of the game being released on Itch.io! It's wild to think how far I've come since that humble beginning, and how supportive so many people have been the past few years as I tinker away at this project. 

Realistically, I feel like I should be so much further in th...

January 2024 Bonus Gallery: Marco & David - The Performance

All throughout David's posing session with Marco, it was clear the cocky dancer was angling to make Marco his next conquest. Knowing his friend Isaiah's history with David, Marco was going to ignore him—until he was struck with a deviously sexy idea.

After a quick text exchange with Isaiah, Marco makes David a proposition. They can fuck, but only if he agrees to do it on video—and only if he performs as directed by Isaiah, who will give commands via speaker. 2024-01-31 22:56:18 +0000 UTC View Post

January 2024 Guy Gallery: Marco's Figure Studies - Men in Motion

Marco has done quite a few figure studies in his brief time at 21CA—but so far, his models have posed still. He's decided to challenge himself by capturing the lines of guys in motion. Who better to model for him than dancers and gymnasts?

Six guys in and around 21CA have agreed to perform leaps and flips for his artistic gaze—all while naked, naturally. Controversially, he recruited some dancers from a rival school... unknowingly including Isaiah's nemesis, David.

Game Update #48

Happy Friday, everyone! It's mid-month status update time.

First, today's cover image is one of my fav CGs from the upcoming dev build, and it only exists because of the newly added Evan morning path that I hadn't originally planned. Which itself only exists because of how many of you expressed how much you love Evan. So thank you for the inspiration 😉

Let's look at where I am as of today.

Behind the Scenes #6: Beginning to End

In this month's installment of my Behind the Scenes series, I'm covering the creation of a scene from beginning to end, starting from the initial idea all the way up through the finished, playable version. My primary focus will be on the writing but I'll also touch on planning and executing art plus coding the scene. I'll also zoom in close on the flowcharts I often share in the bimonthly game status updates so you can see exactly what I write as I plan.
