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 EST

So 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 still get the update before the next billing cycle. 

Keep in mind that I use Patreon's "subscription billing" (which is a somewhat newer feature in the last year or so) and that means regardless of when you subscribe, you now get a full month. Gone are the days of subscribing on the 30th just to get rebilled again a day or two later. 

As always on the revamp, don't use old saves. Even if you think the game didn't break, I assure you it silently broke somewhere and you will get error messages later on or the game will secretly skip entire sections of the story and not tell you. 

2. Big Announcements Coming this Week!

It's no secret that I'm terrible with marketing, mostly because I like spending the majority of my time working on stuff rather than making things to advertise that I'm working on stuff. 

But this week is going to be BIG and I have something to share that has been happening behind the scenes for awhile now.

The short answer: Follow me on all my various platforms and be sure to follow here as well. Remember, you don't have to subscribe or pay to just Follow here. All of the announcements that are upcoming will be FREE posts. Following here just assures you'll get email notifications when there's posts.

I'm not sure how I'm going to make the announcement(s) yet but I may spread it out across the social media platforms with hints, clips, videos, or teasers. Odds are that I'll probably do something over on my Instagram first. It's my newest platform and Twitter is barely on life support anymore but I'm still kinda using it for now. If you're following over on Twitter, be sure to turn on notifications otherwise you'll probably miss stuff with how unreliable it is. IG has better quality on images though and image quality is gonna matter for this stuff so definitely watch that one.

Stay tuned. Big week and cool stuff coming up that i'm both nervous and suuuuper excited for

Just wanna make the point that I have never used X-marks-the-Musk ever, regardless of the branding; and Instagram's PC-interface is less effective than a marketing campaign for dog-turd-flavoured ice-cream. I loathe phones and wouldn't have a smartphone if they paid me. In short, I don't use socials of any kind. THIS is my social.

Nah, i'm with ya. Unfortunately, social media is one of the few ways to drum up support to reach people that haven't accidently stumbled across the game so it's somewhat of a necessary evil. i didn't mind twitter pre-musk. it was fairly consistent and there were easy ways to avoid toxicity. I didn't take the app too seriously and I've never really pushed too much on marketing. I think appraising your status based on the number of followers you have on social media is a poor way to view your worth so I'm pretty chill about it. I do like being able to reach people with the story and social media is one of the large ways to do that. It's also free for people to use and it's a way for people that aren't able to financially support the game to still feel engaged and active within the community and i like that as an option. that being said, dont worry, I'm going to post on here too. I'm basically just gonna try and announce on IG first just to help drum up some extra support over there as a fallback since twitter is dying
