thank you for playing and enjoying New Hope! I try my best with the visuals, I’m going for a more cinematic vibe than the typical VN format.

I’m curious to know what it is you disliked about Str8 that isn’t repeated. It’d be great community feedback for both projects to have that insight :)

Since this is now my full time job, a majority of the NSFW content is either Patreon Exclusive, or can be found on my profile here for a small additional price. The New Hope Christmas special offers multiple NSFW scenes.

Eternity and MGU: Gayme Night are also both very NSFW :)

Thanks for your support!

I don't like to bash a game a lot of work went into and a lot of people love, but the main problem for me with Str8 was the dialogue. It felt like almost every conversation was the same and, I know being a slow-burn is one of the draws, but, really, nothing happened for long stretches. Eventually I was just clicking through before I finally gave up.

New Hope has kept the introspection (and even navel gazing) and relaxed storytelling, but has stronger characterization and better audience engagement. I'm in it for the long haul - you got me, I'm gonna go sign up on your Patreon.

Keep up the great work!

In regards to Str8, it started out as a point-grinding game/VN and the early chapters really, really reflect that (there is a walk-through text file in the VN's main folder that helps with that). There is a revamp underway to correct that.

No VN is without fault but some of Str8's comes from a shift in focus from the dev(s).
