Quick Check-in DevLog Thingy
Yo,Hey, folks. I wanted to check in and give you a quick DevLog because things are working a bit differently this month with the game development progress but that doesn't mean anything is slowing down.Game Progress BarSo a lot of you have found it helpful to watch the update progress details in the past. For those that don't know, you can find a quick breakdown of what I'm working on listed on the About page (It's really the only place to put something like this). It'll look something like this: Current Progress on Revamp v...

Part 2 of the short silent Cody set. These are the most when when you download and watch in sequence. I actually spent some time trying to do a self study on some weird genital stuff here but it was fun
Coming Soon (Teaser 1)
And here we go:As promised, here's the first teaser video for what's coming very very soon.Those following on my new Instagram channel got an early peek at this 48 hours earlier as a way to help get that new channel off the ground. Thanks again to all the new followers over there, y'all doubled my number of followers over night and I seriously appreciate that.I'm not throwing out a lot of information on it right now (although I was flapping my gums on Discord earlier today and probably spoiled shit but whatever... that's me)...
First Big Teaser Announcement Starts Thursday!
Hey all,So with Revamp v0.07 behind us, I wanted to move on to the next big announcement that I've hinted at a couple of times.WTF is this and when is the First Teaser?First early access teaser video drops on my Instagram this Thursday at 1PM EST. If you're not following me over there, you can still see the teaser at that time even without an account. Note that there will be more teaser videos coming very soon and they too will be posted on IG and other social profiles of mine that can all be found here.What to ExpectFirst off, let'...
Shorts: Binging 1 (of 13)
Hey all,I teased this picture on my IG yesterday but I wanted to make an official announcement here and talk a little about it. It's been awhile since I've done a monthly CG set for the Patreon and I got some inspiration the other day so here we go.I'm doing something a bit different than the Selfies you're used to. I really like the Selfies sets because they feature a very real and candid perspective of the characters that you don't get to see in-game. I've also noticed that I've fallen in love with slice-of-life ty...
Patreon Update: Collections
Hey all,So if you haven't casually wandered around the Patreon page for a few days, I wanted to point out a new addition that Patreon gave us. It's called Collections and it's actually pretty neat. We used to have to rely solely on Tags for posts to organize things. So, for example, if you wanted to browse all the Selfies series, you had to do a search for the Tag "Selfies." This new Collections tab is pretty much the same thing but it's way easier to access and it's freakin' prettier.From the main page, now you ...

Revamp Update v0.07 Tomorrow!
Yooooo,So this week is gonna be BIG for Straight!? So big, in fact, that I'm not even honestly sure how to make some of the announcements.1. Revamp Update Tomorrow 8/30 at 9am ESTSo first up, we have the revamp. I honestly can't believe that it's done within the month. When I said there was a slim chance, I meant really slim but somehow we pulled it off. So new update will drop tomorrow morning at 9am EST. I know this is barely within the month but if you're one of the supporters that gets billed on the 1st of the month, you can...
DevLog: Before/After Teasers
Hey all,So yesterday I posted the video Devlog expanded discussion with the upcoming v0.07 teasers, showcasing the original version of the game versus the approach you'll see in the revamp. Today, we're gonna go through a shorter version of that and take a look at many of those same images.Spoiler: This post will contain images from the upcoming update and may be considered spoilers based on the discussion here. If you haven't played the game before, you may wanna skip this post.Note: This discussion will only include 3 pairs of ima...
Phone Wallpapers: Series Two
Hey all,So for this month, while I'm still working on the finishing touches for this next update, I'm dropping Series Two of the official Straight!? wallpapers. Like before, we're still only featuring Zack and Braden in these early series sets since I've had more revamp time with their characters.This set features 4 new shots with two outfit choices to showcase some of the events from the revamped story.1. Peek-a-Boo Boxer Braden2. Hot for Dr. Hodges Braden3. Safety First Shower Scrubbing Zack4. Dorm Room Shirtless ZackAll are r...
DevLog Update
Hey all,I know it's been quiet around here but as always, that usually translates into productivity. It's no secret that I can't multitask so sometimes I get a ton of stuff finished but then forget to actually tell people about it.So hi.Let's talk v0.07.Overall StatusSo right now, things are going well on v0.07. Yesterday, I got my test copy to boot for the first time after coding placeholder images in. As a complete upset, the damn thing booted first try-- which has never happened before so I've been skeptical that somethin...
Patreon Payments Are a Hot Mess
Hey all,So yesterday social media was abuzz with Patreon Support reporting multiple problems with payments. At one point Patreon had apparently declined ALL payments and then it was resolved but some payment sources were still affected. Last update from Patreon stated that they had identified the root cause and have only now disabled Payoneer payments and planned to have it resolved today by 10AM Pacific Time.Basically, when you're payment gets declined it kicks you off the page of the person you're following so you won't have acces...
Video Migration Complete
Hey all,As foretold, the video migration away from Vimeo is complete. There is now a dedicated YouTube channel for video related content. While making videos isn't the main focus here, this can be a hub for any related teaser videos or progression videos related to the game.If you want to see more video content, let me know. I'm open to ideas or things the community is interested in. Someone mentioned being interested in my writing process but I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do that just yet but I promise I'm gonna think...
DevLog Video Migration
Hey all.Quick note here that some of you in the $20 tier that have been enjoying the video dev logs may see some video outages over the next couple days.Originally, I was using Vimeo as they currently have a partnership with Patreon so the process of posting was supposed to be easier. However, over time, I've been less impressed with Vimeo. It's expensive and has a lot of restrictions on what I'm able to upload including the total number of videos that I can post and restricts me to posting two videos per month.It's just extra h...
Straight!? Revamp v0.06.3 Public Release!
Yo,And here we are: FREE public release of Revamp v0.06.3. This update gives us the first half of Chapter 3 and has some of the best shots I've ever done. New scenes, completely revamped pool tryouts, and a couple minor story changes from the original that add in some new chemistry between characters. Originally, I thought this part of the story dragged a bit and I think the revamp addresses that. Also... there's a lot more skin than the original had for some reason so enjoy that :)Remember: Don't use old saves or the game will crap...
DevLog Update
Hey all,I wanted to drop a line to update on where things are. I've seen a decent amount of new subs following the last update and I don't want to leave everyone in the dark or think that things aren't progressing.'Cause things are actually going really well.So let's jump right in and see where things are:WritingI stated this right before the last update but it's worth mentioning again in case people missed it. Update v0.06 took a bit longer than I anticipated but part of that was due to organization of the original code...
Straight!? Revamp v0.06.3 Patreon Release!
Edit: All links now updated to v0.06.3 This fixes a game breaking bug while transferring from Chapter 2 to 3.HotFix: If you already downloaded the previous v0.06.2, I've attached a game.zip file to this post that will upgrade you to v0.06.3. Just download that, unzip it, and drag the files in that folder into your Str8Remake/Game folder and replace. If you downloaded the android version of v0.06.2, you'll need to redownload the v0.06.3. I can't patch android.Yo,Hey, folks. So here's the first half of Chapter 3 that gets us throu...
DevLog: Update Imminent!!
Hey all,So things are progressing nicely with the revamp and I wanted to check in with you real quick. I've done a couple quick check-ins on Twitter just because it was super quick stuff to share rather than post longer narratives here.Right now, all images are completed and I'm doing final playtesting on this end. I let it sit for a day without touching it and came back to make a few changes (which has always been the case).I'll also draw your attention to the posted image that I shared on Twitter the other day. Chapter 3 has been ...
DevLog Update
Hey all,It's time for another one of those walls of text. The last Devlog was kinda chaotic because I was in a tight spot and I almost did another log a few days later to let everyone know I was out of the woods. Sometimes I write these status updates to the community and I feel like I'm opening a garage door into my shop and everyone is outside and they look inside and the garage is a complete mess and it's on fire; and there I am in the middle waving my arms and shouting "I know this looks bad, but I promise you it'll get ...
Major Announcement: Translations and I Need Your Help!
Hey all,So it's been asked a ton of times over the years: Will Straight!? ever be translated into other languages?Over the years, I've avoided this because I knew the beginning of the game would need to be rewritten and I didn't want to waste anyone's time translating something that would ultimately change.However, the question and interest continues to come up and we have a few updates in the Revamp completed now so I'm actually starting the process of taking a serious look at this and I'm terrified.If you're intere...
v0.06 Teaser Before/After Tryouts (Part2) and Bed Studying
Hey all,So new post today with some Before/After teasers for the upcoming v0.06 which is kinda in the home stretch for the visuals (Last pic here is the current scene that I'm working on) and shouldn't be too much longer.For those of you in the $20 tier, there's a new video up where I talked about the first two sets of pictures here in more depth with more background stories. That video also includes another picture that I won't be showcasing here today. While I'm super proud of that picture and it's probably one of the ...

DevLog Update
Hey all,It's been a bit since I put one of these walls of text out for you so I wanted to check in. My goal for this past weekend was to have a thorough report out to the community on where things are at. Instead of working on that, I ended up prioritizing some pretty massive image changes that we'll talk about here in a minute. From a DevLog perspective, It's always more fun to share an organized presentation with the status, but the process isn't alwaysSo let's jump in and take a look at where things are at right now.Codin...
DevLog: Before/After Tai Chi and Tryouts
Hey all,So the silence lately around here has actually been pretty productive from a development standpoint. I just did a Before/After video for the $20 tier here if you're interested but today, we'll be looking at those same images but you won't get to hear the sweet melody of my hyperactive voice :pStandard format today with the Before and After, specifically looking at the differences with the Tai Chi changes for the upcoming v0.06 and the first part of swim tryouts.Let's jump in:Pic 1: This first picture is from the original...
Straight!? Revamp v0.05.1 Public Version
Hey all,So the update was actually scheduled for tomorrow on 5/13, but I'm going to be out of a town and in the middle of nowhere. The last time I was there, I couldn't even text and the more I got to thinking about that, the more I was worried that I couldn't remotely support the update if something borked.So I'm dropping it a day early to make sure things are working properly.Not a lot of typo corrections pushed out by the community this time around so this is the same version the Patreon people got. On the Discord, I got one ...
