I just wanted to say thank you for taking your time and making this. I love this story so much already and I just found it. I have a couple questions and comments. So if you answered that would be amazing.

I love Matt from the get go and like I so want his full story and I hope that Connor and him end up together. I can so see Matt have slept around with all these guys, imagining that it’s Connor the whole time in a so ways (Like Ian and Mark, Coming out on Top). Though I personally would have loved for him to wait, I also think it makes sense for him to not have. The school is focused around sex and sexuality and how that changes and affects your craft. I’m hoping that the route with Matt it might lead to some bitter feelings from Connor about Matt having left him behind in so many ways. Though the work through them and Matt ends up showing Connor the fun of Sex and being together. Possibility or rather a big hope is that that while Matt is a big slut/man whore. He’s never dated and been in a relationship that way with a guy so that they would have a level footing at least in that aspect. As you can probably tell I’ve kind of focused on Matt just the way that he seems so relaxed(for the most part) with Conner and also concerned/jealous of him wanting sex with other men.

I was also wondering if you have a date you’re hoping to have the game finished? Cause even though I know your the only one working on this I really want to play through the whole thing and take different routes and see what will be allowed. Like maybe a poly relationship with Connor, Matt and Leo or Owen. I can really see Connor, Matt and Leo having something together, though right now I just want Matt to get off his hang ups already and be with Connor.

Also I think if you do have Poly Relationships I think and good one for a safe third to most relationships would be Owen his honestly so sweet and caring. My last comment about Matt, I was wondering that if they do become a couple. Would you have to where Connor moved into the apartment with Matt or an option too. Like he Matt wants him to but would understand if Connor wanted to stay in the Dorms. I think that would be amazing.

My last thing for now I promise I was wondering what you were hoping for or going for in the total length of this? Personally I’m hoping for his whole freshman year.

I think I’ve took enough of your time thanks again for making this and I was wondering if you planned to get help to build/finish. Call me selfish cause I honestly am when comes to the story that here and there’s only two days so far.

I'm really glad you're so taken with Matt! I'll get back to him, but wanted to answer the other questions first.

The game is set to take place over eight weeks, ending at Halloween. Each "chunk" of the game covers one week except for the first two days, and each chunk has its own theme around which all the storylines during that week revolve. So for instance, Week One is The Morning After/Getting to Know You. Currently I'm wrapping up Day 2 - part 2 of 10 - so we're still very much at the start of the game.

Right now I have to work entirely solo, so if that remains the case, the full game won't be for a couple years. But I hope as time goes on I'll have enough funds to hire people to help with things like coding, testing, sound, etc., which would help cut that timeframe down.

Okay, to Matt! You have the right idea of it as far as feelings that might be happening. I have a key moment planned for the first time he & Connor get together that will clarify things quite a bit. I don't want to give away too much so early, but I think players who are into Matt will be happy with certain revelations during that scene. Overall Matt's story gets a little complicated, though, possibly in ways that won't be expected. Not everyone's happy ending looks the same.

I won't be doing poly relationships simply because doing couples is complicated as it is with how much the storylines can change. Threesomes, sure, but full romantic relationships isn't in the cards currently. Though I think you'd be right about Owen being a good candidate.

The next release - The Club Update - doesn't feature Matt but does have Matt content, including 8 new CGs. A new main character is introduced named Griffin who has ties to Matt, and spending time with him can reveal some interesting things. Connor does indeed mull over how it feels that his best friend is kind of a different person now.

So when that comes out, the path to play through if you want Matt content is hang out with Matt in the afternoon, proposition him without backing down, then head to the club and spend as much time as you can with Griffin.

Lastly, since the game will only cover two months and relationships won't be fully defined until the end, Connor won't be moving in with anyone. I image if he does get serious with Matt he'd probably move in with him at some point, though!
