-Corrected the notrious flying cell phone in the coffee shop despite speculation that it was Braden’s cell phone ascending into the heavens after being potentially lost in the dorm fire.
-Fixed a couple mislabeled dialogue lines from Max and Mikhail that were mistakenly misattributed

Change Log v0.18
-Began the first part of Chapter 9
-Did a quick fix on a CG during the convo with Zack and Mikhail walking where Zack bounced up and down and it was annoying af
-Dropped in a few random flashback scenes into the game to help make connections in conversations to which previous scenes they were specifically talking about. This doesn’t change any of the story

-Corrected a beach CG where Zack and Mikhail’s shorts suddenly changed from trunks to their normal outfits during the beach intro conversations
-Made adjustments to the beach activity choices. There was a contuinity error here where, based on the order of your choice, certain objects appeared in game before they were retrieved. The order has been reworked while still allowing the player to choose which beach activity they want to do first

Change Log v0.17.1
-Image and typo fixes/enhancements

Change Log v0.17
-Massive story addition and completion of Chapter 8 as well as the conclusion of Part 3 of the story. Sorry about the cliffhanger… don’t hate me
-All new images in this update are now rendered in 4K UHD quality and converted down to 1080p. This should result in enhanced image quality of all the new images added in this update ONLY. All future images will be rendered in 4K as well. This should also not affect the game size either. So those who previously were downloading the full edition as opposed to the crunched edition actually have better image quality now than they previously did with 6 gig file size.
-Modified dialogue choices in cafe in Day 1 conversation to prevent references to Zack being gay before he tells Braden he may like the D.
-Corrected spelling errors but probably still missed just as many
-Slight wording change in post-park conversation to clarify “first kisses.” For those confused, the park kiss was Zack’s first kiss and Braden’s first kiss with a dude.

Change Log v0.16.2
-Corrected some hair glitches and odd reflections in a few CGs
-And guess what: More Typos!!

Change Log v0.16.1
-Corrected typos
-Converted all .PNG files to .JPG now, reducing overall file size from 6gig down to 1.2gig.

Change Log v0.16
-Updated splash screen with pics created by Jordyn to replace the previous text warnings that were frequently missed (ex: not to use old saves, and a new warning about the game being a work-in-progress to hopefully curb some of the judgemental criticsm about the earlier parts of the game that have yet to be refined)
-Update font color changed in the chapter select to draw more attention to the Update feature there
-Began the first half of Chapter 8.

Change Log v0.15.1

-Change a time reference during the Mikhail/Zack talk at the end of Chapter 7 to reflect the appropriate day referenced.
-Correcting color on “straight” text that was overlooked
-Fixed typos and learned grammer that I didn’t apparently figure out in grad school

Change Log v0.15

-Finished Chapter 7: Deeper
-Fixed “Embarrassing Story” text color
-Braden bent over CG (you know what one I’m talking about) was redone to make his starfish less frightening
-finished the CG reduction on the dorm room folder, reducing overall game file size by another 240MB (not huge but it helps)

Change Log v0.14

-Continued the plot line of Chapter 7: Deeper with 5 new environments and over 200 new pics that expand the world our further than we’ve gone before.
-New custom made adult warning screen that’s light years ahead of my google image from before (Thanks Jordyn!)
-New custom made main menu screen with movie that beyond kicks ass! Like, this shit almost brought me to tears the first time I saw it. All praise goes to Lazy-Jake!
-Corrected some CGs that still had fireflies in them from v0.13 (Thanks to supporter lex0 who did this for me)
-Prophetically, there was a great battle over the game name given that it had somehow appeared two different ways “?!” vs “!?” over the past year. It’s now “!?” so Blayke will stfu.
– Dinner Conversations are now denoted with orange text so you can tell the difference between them and normal conversation choices cause they special.
-Added an obscure literary addition that I’ve wanted to for a long time. Based on the name of the game, the word “straight” will always appear in red text throughout the entire story. It’s an idea I got from one of my fav books.
-Began optimizing image files in the game to reduce file size by 15%. Thus far, overall game size was reduced by 500mg in the standard edition.

Change Log v0.13.1

-Reduced Chapter 7 introduction during the black screen and lowered Zack’s anxiety level based on feedback
-Fixed typos (mostly just me misspelling “embarrassing” again cause I’m fucking retarded
-Fixed bug from the bar scene with a missing CG based on a conditional statement from the “girlfriend” cafe talk

Change Log v0.13

-Known bugs: You may experience flashes and lighting changes. This is due to my using a combination of old and new CGs in the same updates. This has always been the case but the lighting in the recent updates is better. Once the game is complete, all CGs will be redone to ensure they all match with lighting. I still have much to learn before then.
-Game now has a taskbar icon after a fucking year! Yay!
-Also changed the in-game textbox to make it a bit smaller. Font was adjusted smaller to compensate for the change. Hopefully this will make the textbook less distracting so you can see more of the art (and all it’s flaws!)
-Few random spelling changes as always
-Started Part 3, beginning with Chapter 7
