v0.3 was scheduled to come out this month - but due to some PC issues it’s pushed me back. Things are a little more steady now and I’m hopeful for a April release :)
Reminder; this update has been split in half due to the amount of renders. Im currently doing a 4K upgrade to all previous images, which is what’s taking so long.
I have v0.4 full written, and half the CG’s rendered. So the wait for that update will be significantly less :)
As a major fan of Straight!? I just had to check out this story. I'm not going to say that it hits me the same but I'm definitely intrigued. There was a lot introduced so far in regards to personalities and their backgrounds but it seems to be setting up for a versatile experience for the reader. I believe that this story will make you want to explore all characters involved just to gain a better understanding of everyone. You may have your favorites but this story makes you explore the lives of all introduced. I must admit that I do love how Straight!? focuses on its main couple but every story is meant to give the reader a different experience. Straight!? allowed you to grow attached to its main couple as it slowly introduced others for you to also grow attached to. This story introduces a full crew of friends for you to learn and love. I am looking forward to see how this all turns out because I feel the first two parts only gave us a taste of what's to come.
Also this story's flow kind of reminds me of https://bobcgames.itch.io/yags. New Hope is more developed in regards to character development but both stories seems to have you manage the characters feelings while still exploring the feelings of whoever you choose to spend time with. I personally loved YAGS but I think this will turn that type of story into an even more immersive experience.
That was a good analogy! I didn't even think of comparing it to YAGS but this might have a very similar feel once it gets in a little more development, although we will have to see where Blayke takes it for the character development and plot twists.
Yeah, I honestly feel it will be very similar to YAGS but there is a lot to look at in this story beyond the main characters relationship with his friends. The main character's secret is what really had me wondering how it will play out considering it seems to be major but we don't have but so much detail as to how it will affect the story.
Blayke, just when I was getting sad about the fact that Straight!? was in its penultimate chapters, you went ahead and gave us this amazing work of art. I have replayed this three times so far and loved every second of it. There are many types of prejudices that exist in this world and (without giving away spoilers) Justin's extreme quirkiness, in addition to being gay (which can be considered more conventional), is a very intelligent medium to expore these prejudices. You don't need me to tell you that you are both an excellent storyteller and artist. I also love the diversity and depth of your characters and their tropes. The three characters that really caught my attention are Theo - the cold, lonely anti-hero; Eyal - the warm, affectionate knight in shining armour and Jeremy - the quintessential angsty rebel. Will there be a route for Jeremy? I really want to know more about him. I eagerly look forward to future updates.
I don’t have a date yet for the next update - but I’m working on it every day and going as fast as I can without running myself into the ground.
There’s a lot more pieces that time around; such as diverging storylines, new locations and other small bits I’m working on to really enhance gameplay.
I’m updating the graphics so all visuals will now be in 4K. That means I’m having to go back and re-render all the scenes. During that time I’ve updated some locations (such as Justin’s house - you’ll see a new look for that in the next update)
I was keeping this under wraps, but now is a good a time as any to announce I guess. I’m working on adding some music and sound effects to the game. There won’t be any voices or voice acting - but expect some sound for sure :)
Thanks for your continued support in this new project!
thanks for the update you have been doing good work so far I like how the story is turning out can't wait to see more of it play out it's very interesting especially the syfi additional I'm a lover of syfi my self keep up the good work
Thanks so much for playing! Glad you loved the new update :D
Ash and Jeremy do have similar direct personalities, I can see the resemblance their for sure :) Both games are underway with the next update, me and Aaryn are hard at work so you can count on more content coming soon!
Exactly how I wanted to play this :) I knew the typical jock bully stereotype was a good base to build a character on - but I'm a sucker for character depth and development so Theo is for sure gonna be fun to write and play around with.
Part 2 is still under production. I’ve finished all the writing and script work, now it’s just CG renders that need to be finished. I can’t put a time frame on that unfortunately as I’m waiting on a new PC to be delivered before I can continue rendering :)
Not quite sure if this is "THE" Blayke's first VN, but holy cow! This first chapter was quite satisfying in the sense there are so few visual novels in this genre which explore the main characters sexuality and tie in a sense for what appears to be [spoiler alert] potential superpowers or the supernatural.
And yes, you are officially "THE" Blayke for all of us who have followed your work with Aaryn ;).
Looking forward to future updates on your project.
Was looking forward to it since it was announced, and i'm not disappointed ! That first glance is pretty interesting, characters seems to be pretty different from each others ( and hot ! ) and the end is definitely leading to something pretty unique. Can't wait to see what's next !
Thanks for playing and really glad you enjoyed the game so far! I think there's a cute little market for games like Straight & New Hope to sit in that's only just starting to be explored.
Glad to have you along on the journey!
P.s V0.2 is already being worked on! So hopefully the wait isn't too long!
I love Str8 but this game have a spark of something special. I read every dialog and the characters are beautiful. I HOPE you do well. Sorry for my english.
Hey! I'm fairly new to the coding and back end side of things - so an android port will take some time for me to figure out. I definitely plan on having one eventually though!

hi how are you, when will v3.0 come out and will there be any sex scenes with Theo?

Ash and Jeremy do have similar direct personalities, I can see the resemblance their for sure :) Both games are underway with the next update, me and Aaryn are hard at work so you can count on more content coming soon!
WELL. I was all set to be annoyed with Theo and do his route last but then he had to go and have more to him and I guess I'm doin his first.
Exactly how I wanted to play this :) I knew the typical jock bully stereotype was a good base to build a character on - but I'm a sucker for character depth and development so Theo is for sure gonna be fun to write and play around with.
Definitely glad that's the direction you opted for!

Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed the first instalment! <3
Please, make it installable in itch.io app.
Familiar-looking sprites/expressions, great writing, engaging storyline: only when I finished the demo did I realise that it's by THE Blayke.
Can't tell you how much I'll be looking forward to updates on this one.
Haha I have a THE title now? I'll take it! ;D
