Hi, I really like your work, do you already have a date for when an update will be released?

heya:) thanks so much for stopping by and trying out the project. I'm glad you're enjoying it. So over on the Patreon page I've dropped 2 sets of teasers for the next update. v15 is a ton of image work and i've already broken the Revamp record for images and I still have 3 scenes left to do. Basically there's new environments that needed reworked before i even started doing the images. that being said, there's minimal writing work to do so it's mostly just pics. No ETA right now but i promise I'm working on it. gonna be at least another month I'm guessing. If you wanna see some of the teasers, you can check out my Bluesky account. there's some free ones as well as a small snapshot of the newest teasers I dropped.

Is the game complete for Android? like, the revamped version? I don't mind paying, I just want to know if it's out there.

heya :)

So right now, the revamp only goes up to a portion of chapter 7. The entire story is 10 chapters and the chapters pretty much get longer as the story goes. So right now, I'd say the revamp is probably somewhere around halfway through. so that includes all versions of the revamp, PC, MAC, and android. 

the original is still all 10 chapters on all platforms. if you didn't want to wait, a lot of people have been starting the revamp and playing until it stops then jumping over to pick up the end of the story on the original but there is a massive quality drop. massive. 

otherwise, it's still gonna be awhile. i'm going as fast as i can but i also want quality stuff to the best of my current ability

I don't know if you're into this, but is there any possibility of adding daddies you can romance, maybe some teachers?

(1 edit)

haha. so i read this and my first instinct was to laugh just because of past fan reactions but, in short, if I did something like that, I would probably end up on one of those cold case murder shows and i'd never be found again, lol. 

so the background here (and this will have very minimal spoilers), when i first introduced Mikhail, there was some hate. people already wanted him gone because he was a liability. which honestly played into the beginning parts of his arc-- that not everyone is a bad guy. in fact, one of the primary reasons for the scene in Mikhail's dorm room  was to address the hate and drive that point home that it's ok to have allies that happen to be the same gender as your preference. because of the slow-burn of this story, people really quested for the ship of zack and braden and anything that would get between that needed taken out of the equation. At this point, even introducing anything extra would probably blow up in my face and ultimately defeat the purpose of writing this (if you play all the way to the end of the original or wait on the revamp ending, this will hopefully make more sense). 

another reason there's only one "romance" route is that choosing the guy you wanted was never the point of this. it was more about addressing the dynamics of relationships and friendships and dealing with those obstacles and sexuality in general. If you've read any background on the story: this is my first attempt at writing something and i'm historically awful at multitasking so i made a very early decision with this story that rather than have multiple romance routes with like 5 different guys that may be half-way fleshed out-- i elected to write one story (with 2 different perspective routes in it) and hopefully flesh that one route out more than most people would have expected. so basically do one right rather than half-ass five of them. it also takes coding experience to juggle multiple routes and i had no idea what i was doing. I quite literally googled every line of code until i got the hang of it. 

so odds are i wont add any additional routes.i dont wanna mess it up :p

I completely understand

i was hoping i wouldn't come off offensive or just disregarding your suggestion. legit the community would eat me alive. every time i introduced a new supporting character like half the people started barking at them. every supporting character in this story legit has to defend why they're allowed in the room just so the community wouldn't destroy them :p

If it makes you feel any better, every character is not perfect and may not be everyone's type, so they start arguing either way. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference. Every creator goes through this every day, if not most, but there are people who like them, too.

oh, for sure. i haven't heard any serious criticism of the characters in a long time. much of this was probably  years ago or so. i really tried to justify the use of each character in the story

I can wait to finally play the whole game revamped. I played the legacy version up until the form fire chapter but stopped when I learned about the revamped.

the revamp quality is incredible compared to the older version--especially since you played through the first part of the older version. I'm really proud at the additions and it's really let me relive things all over again with adding in the music and sound effects and *gasp* other students at the college! lmao. 

without going into too many details for spoilers, you still had quite a bit left. i feel like every chapter gets progressively longer than the previous one. well, i hope you enjoy it when i finally get this damned thing done :)

❤️❤️❤️

finally it updated

sorry if you thought there was a wait. i thought i'd been cranking these updates out super fast considering the amount of work involved. it's been around every 2 months right now which is way faster than the original where i had to outline the story plus write every update from scratch. i try my best but i'm sorry to say it's not going to get any faster or the project will suffer, i'm already on this 7 days a week. hope you enjoy though

nah its fine its just that it updated the minute after i installed it so i got pissed  when i saw lmao

Oh gotcha. well hope you enjoy. the newer versions are slightly more compressed so hopefully it won't be as much of a download even though there's more content. thanks for reading :)

One of the best Adult games i have played. Great graphics even in the Rough Draft and the story literally had me feeling the emotions as well! i laughed, got shocked, angry, cried, got turned on and so on. Definitely an amazing piece of work!

Hey, thank you so much. glad it ran you through all the feels. i really wanted something that pulled people in and made the characters feel real. i think you need that for the emotional scenes to work. i know it's a very niche story but thanks so much for giving it a shot. if you haven't checked out the Revamped version, though, I definitely recommend it. It's pretty established now and is waaaaaay better. (also, your screen name cracked me up :p). all the best and stay safe out there <3

I thimnk amazing persson. xd

Heya. thank you so much. i'm glad you like the project and are enjoying it. thanks for playing <3

I only use the public version of Str8 Revamp and can tell:
This is one of the most BEST erotic visual novel i ever read!

I love the story, the characters and was nearly cry in the last scene in the public version, where Zack and Braden talks openly. This never happened in another erotic visual novel to me.

Maybe in future i will be able to give a one-time support in patreon. This deserves it.

heya, thanks a lot. glad you're enjoying the story. Just so you know the public version is the same as the Patreon version. I just release early on Patreon for donations then 3 weeks later drop it free on Patreon as well as here. people have been generous with support and I've always wanted the project to be free. I'm honored you think it's one of the best you've read. i know i did something a bit different here and tried to interject a lot more heart into an erotic game and rather than the erotic stuff being the primary purpose of the project-- it's more of a compliment to the content and the story rather than just jumping from one slutty scene to the next. that stuff gets boring to me. in terms of support, take your time. like i said, the game is free for a reason so please take care of yourself and those you love first before you chip in money to my project. that being said, if you do get into a position to toss in monetary support, I'd honestly recommend doing it on Patreon first: over there the support will unlock extra stuff like picture sets and things like that. Over here, there's nothing to unlock. If you're not interested in the extra stuff: either one works. But again: please don't feel pressured. The first part of Chapter 7 will be dropping over here on 12/10 for free so you don't have too long of a wait. thank you so much for reading and just letting me know you're enjoying it. seriously appreciate it. be safe and all the best <3

I am very patient and can wait for the revamp version to be updated one day at same story stage to the original one. Since i was started with the revamp one, the older version is too difference how to read the story for me. I was take a look inside it, but nah... to tell the truth, revamp is much more better.

And i am not interrested into bonus pictures, i would only support you with an one-time donation. Where this will be, i will choose it then. Already followed you on Patreon as "Free Member".

My most favourite char in your story is Mikhail, because he fits 100% my taste into the guys. Heh.

And your "add more heart into an erotic game" is exactly, what made this visual novel one of the best in my eyes. Because there IS a story. I love to see male x male sex scenes, but if its only be a mindless story behind it, its bored me to the hell. Many of those visual novels i would never touch again and already throw away from my folder on the PC.

Your game is always inside the folder, since revamp part I.
After read it this weekend again (didnt read the part II before), i was wanted to leave a comment, for this lovely work.

oh for sure, the Revamp is insanely better. i do think the original starts to get better around chapter 5 or 6 when i started to just write how i wanted to. the revamp is also way more cinematic with the camera shots-- we only see that at the end of the original. plus, i think the sound and music really adds to the vibe. i'm with you on the "heart" thing, i think the slow burn makes things matter. gives you time to get attached, frustrated, and feel things along with the characters

Good long game. thx

thank you so much. i don't even know what the final version clocks in at... i was thinking around 15 hours or so. may have to ask the community that one. glad you enjoyed it, though, and thank you so much for playing and letting me know you liked it

Only a few games have such depth and are at such a high level in terms of plot. In the game, you meet biochatters who look like real ones, not the created creations written on paper in some high-budget games. Here, the plot slowly develops, and with it the characters. The main character sometimes acts in an illogical and sometimes inconsistent way, which only works to the advantage of the story. When it comes to feelings, people can behave irresponsibly or chaotic. If you need the help of a translator to translate the text from English to Polish. Or help with the plot, to give some suggestions, I will be happy to help, although I think you are much better at creating stories and characters. PS. I haven't quite finished the game, but I don't mind the length of this title, I think that's a plus. PS.2. Thank you for taking the time to write back and respond, working on projects can take a lot of time.

thank you so much. i'm glad you appreciated the slow burn and sometimes inconsistent take on this. I wanted complicated characters for this story that started out fairly superficial because i feel like that's what people expect in these types of games. irl we learn more about people through conversation, behaviors, or their opinions on things and that's really what's showcased here. i wanted more of a story that unfolded through dialogue than i did something with a ton of action or complicated choices

And it turned out better than good for you.

I started this because there was a cute twink, but I actually got invested. It really caught me off guard.

glad it hooked ya. i really appreciate you giving it a chance :)

I downloaded this game Saturday morning (the revamp, then the rough version), at first for the NSFW part, but... wow ! I just kept playing for the whole day, barely finding time to eat, and I finished it on Sunday night.

Like both characters, I've asked myself a lot of questions when I was younger. I'm now a 40 year-old man, I've been with my boyfriend for 14 years, and this game made my realize how lucky I am today, and how much I love him.

This game left me with the same feeling I've had finishing great books or great TV series : I just don't want the characters to leave, and I feel I need to know more about them. Looking back on the first pictures of Braden moving in, I already feel nostalgic !Straight!? was truely a very personnal experience, and I think leaving this comment is for me a way of finding closure after finishing it.

If I had improvements to suggests, I would say :

1. not being a native English speaker, some dialogues were long and tiring to read. Maybe, in some scenes were all the dialogue isn't necessary to the plot, you could offer the "Nothing else" option a little more often, in order for us to skip not so relevant parts.

2. another solution would be to have translations, but I've read in other comments it's a option that has been considered

3. I love the fact that not everything is perfectly smooth, and for instance I love Braden's design, with a very realistic body. In the last NSFW scene, the fact that everything doesn't go as planned, and the "checking on your phone" part was really funny. However I was frustrated at the end of the game not seeing this scene going well : I think it could really be a climax of their relationship (how distressing it is the first time you ARE ready but still fear how it's going to happen) and I felt something was missing to fully end their story. Unlike other comments, I don't want to see a sequel because I like to think the characters are going to live their lives on their own, in this imaginary world we all build differently in our head, but I feel a last NSFW scene would "help" me in knowing they are on the right track and that they will enjoy themselves.


That being said, it is one of the most moving game I have ever played (reminded me of "That dragon cancer" or "Firewatch" in some sense) and, I'll just wait for the full revamp version to play the game again. Really, you did (and are still doing !) a great job, keep it like that !

Heya, thank you for the well written note and I'm stoked that it impacted you in such a way as to give you a new perspective and renew some love for your bf. Also, congratulations on 14 years. that's a pretty long time and should be respected and i hope it continues to grow for you both. 

in terms of your suggestions: yes, i plan on translations eventually but i think it will be difficult just because i apparently write with sooooo much slang. i never really expected non-english speakers to even get through it originally so it's been incredibly rewarding to hear that people are motivated enough by the project to wade through this thing, lol. I do plan on trying to work with people on the discord to get it as accurate as possible but we'll see. languages are complex and inconsistent obviously so who knows how that translation will turn out. 

i see what you're saying with dialogue and maybe that's something i could add. there's a few spots in the later parts of the game where i did that. i just very much see all the random stuff that seems less important as still being character development or giving you background that may come into play later. when i sit down and read books, i usually like massive ones with a ton of details. but i also think that conversation is how relationships naturally evolve so i really focused on a lot of dialogue that spans everything from serious to existential to anger to teasing the crap out of each other. I definitely think it's a lot for a non-native English speaker to struggle with 'cause i get really wordy sometimes :p

things like that may come after the revamp project is completely finished where i may be able to go back and just do some touch-up updates and stuff :)

Hi Aaryn, it's the first time I'm writing to you. I read your "Water Fix Image Pack" on the patreon page. I 've made it. I use a PC and downloaded the zip file and overwritten the pool images. And then I've tested the 0.13 version from the beginning..cause i really love your job. Just to inform you that everything went fine. I've tried all the different paths and choices and never get an error or missing alert from the renpy IDE. I tried to write on patreon without success, so I hope I'm not breaking any rule writing you here. Thanx for showing me exactly how i see the love between two people. thank you veeery much. I appreciate your work. Can't wait for your next updates.

heya, well thank you for reaching out first off. and yes it's absolutely fine to post here. i'm not sure why you were unable to post on patreon. that should have been a free public post where anyone could reply so sorry you had that experience but here is certainly fine :)

but thank you so much for running through stuff and testing it. it seriously does help me out and save me time while i'm working on all the future stuff. all of those new image updates will be including in the next update too. It's coming soon. i promise. little more work than i expected but i'm on it

appreciate you and appreciate the support and follow <3
