Straight!? Revamp v0.16.1 FREE Public Release!
Aight folks, here we go: the conclusion to Chapter 7.
Aight folks, here we go: the conclusion to Chapter 7.
I've talked about this one at length and it took way longer than I ever anticipated but the revised Chapter 7 is complete and I'm happy with it. In the original version of the game, this section had some fun themes and ideas but they never really played out with the emotional punch that I really wanted. This version fixes that and then some. In one of the most episodic updates we've seen yet, this one has re-occuring themes, laughs, banter, some deep dialogue, more answered questions, and doesn't let up on the intimacy. In typical Straight!? fashion, this one runs you through all the emotions right up to the end.
Thanks so much for checking this one out and I hope you enjoy it. That means 3 chapters left but the good news is they're the longest.

Politics and Censorship:How Legal Games like Straight!? are getting Removed and Banned
Hi.
Hi.
Over the past few years I'm increasingly spending more and more time fighting websites, legislation, and the gradual shrill crescendo of Puritan screeching. This isn't a forecast for an approaching storm, it's already here. And while I recognize that projects like this are sometimes a way to distance ourselves from harsh realities, I'm troubling you with this today because our "break" from reality has now been directly targeted.
Recent Timeline
2024: Patreon revised adult content rules due to Visa/Mastercard standards, censoring tons of content.
March 15, 2024: Gumroad bans majority of adult content citing payment providers Stripe and PayPal.
April 25, 2024: Pixiv changes allowed content based on regional use of US and the UK
July 16, 2025: Steam quietly removes a number of adult themed games from their store (they didn't do an actual press release but you can do a search and pick your favorite news report for the scoop). An Australian activist group called Collective Shout has claimed victory for this by calling them on the phone repeatedly.
July 24, 2025: Itch.io"deindexed" ALL adult-themed games from their website and instituted draconian and vague regulations in addition to eliminating any appeal process. ("Deindexing" simply means you cannot use their website to search for ANY nsfw project. You'd have to type "itch gay nsfw games" into a search engine and then use the results rather than the website itself). Itch has cited Visa, MasterCard, Stripe, and PayPal pushing standards on them and recently stated they're looking for other payment providers but they also handled the situation poorly and gave zero notice in addition to holding creator earnings hostage.
July 25, 2025: UK begins enforcement of the Online Safety Act 2023 which requires adults to actually take a selfie with a valid ID or share other invasive data like banking info, credit cards, etc. to verify age to access adult content or use dating platforms. Many of the UK residents on the Str8 Discord server have quite literally had to take a selfie just to login .
Moderated Content
Make no mistake: this isn't even about glorifying; in many cases it just applies to "containing." This has led to arguments over shows like Game of Thrones or Star Wars being banned because they contain incest (Sorry folks, Luke technically kissed his sister in a galaxy far away). "Non-consensual" sex was banned, leading Patreon to actually requiring characters to verbally say their age and each give consent before any action happened in stories, comics, or games (they've reversed this in time). It also lead to a large number of sexual abuse surviving authors having their works removed from Itch because their story of overcoming abuse "contained" non-consensual acts.
Thus far, all platforms have blamed payment providers. Meaning that companies like Visa, MasterCard, Stripe, and PayPal can institute policies that regulate what you're allowed to buy or not buy as an adult even if the content is legal in the area. Thus, content companies have imposed excessive banning of legal content to comply with the payment providers or risk losing all payment options.
Who's Fault is it?
So far, groups like Collective Shout have claimed responsibility and state they were able to organize 1,000 phone calls to Visa and MasterCard to get them to suspend the content. Others will cite a court case involving Visa and MasterCard being the financial processor for the laundering of illicit material related to OnlyFans back in 2023, which opened the flood gates for broad applications of the laws and for groups to attack the flow of money rather than the platforms individually. It's also worth mentioning that many activist groups cite any LGBT content as being "pornographic"-- regardless of whether it contains adult themes or not-- sometimes leading to the overt elimination and silencing of LGBT voices in the arts and media because it's considered perverse. And still others just state that payment providers are just pushing a Puritan agenda and being cunts.
What Can We Do?
Help.
Regardless of your political ideology, these draconian practices will eventually try to eliminate something that you're interested in. Straight!? and hundreds of projects like it have already been delisted but groups like Collective Shout have previously gone after games like GTA 5 and are now starting a campaign to target Twitter porn and even Playboy because it's impossible to satiate unhappy people.
Above, I dropped some Cheat Sheets I pulled from social media to give you pointers (credit to @tendermiasma.com on bsky) or if you want to repost and share plus the website created by @voiddebris.bsky.social)
Also, follow me on bsky if you want to find any of these posts to share direct links to. I'm sure I'll be sharing more.
1. Call payment providers like Visa, MasterCard, Stripe, and PayPal. Be polite and don't cuss them out. Just take up a ton of their time. They're gonna have a really hard time running a business when they're tied up with bullshit calls from adults that want to purchase legal material in their area with their own money they're paying interest on.
Call and file Online Complaints. This website has a full template with contact numbers for Visa, MasterCard, Stripe, and PayPal. Some companies require complaints to actually have a follow-up process so keep them busy.
2. Call legislators. In the US, there's current a bill entitled Fair Access to Banking Act for your consideration but generally make a point to let them know you support legislation that prevents financial companies from denying services based on... just whatever. It may help to specifically cite Visa and MasterCard.
Not sure how to contact your US legislator? Put your Address in here.
3. Sign Petitions.
We're stronger together. Visa and MasterCard have already started releasing public statements about being overwhelmed with calls so this is actually working. Many of you ask how you can help, this not only affects Straight!? but it affects other creators that you may enjoy and it will affect creators in the future. Honestly, it affects the freedom of artistic expression.
Alright, enough politics. Just help if you can
All the love,
-Aaryn

So if you're not on any of my social media pages or on the Discord, I've tried to make a point to keep up with the traffic from the recent interview and I wanted to take a moment to sorta collect my thoughts and give a more extended and somewhat personal thank you here. The reception, support, feedback, and participation from the community has been staggering and that's because so many of you took time out of your busy lives to go check this thing out. It's a friggen hour... of me... that's a lot for anybody, lmao. So seriously: thank you.
It seems that nowadays it's harder to avoid negativity. Much of the internet and social media or the news just seems to be so saturated with bad news, hatred, bigotry, violence, or people too busy to use empathy when interacting with others that sometimes it's hard to distance yourself from that; to not have it slowly seep into you even though you're trying your best to ignore it, confront it, or stand up for what you believe in. It's all so very loud. Time and time again, this community has proven to be strong and supportive of this project. Time and time again you've proven to be a positive force even when some forces around many of us are bleak and cold and dark. A place where people from all over the world can come together and just get behind something and I can't express how truly grateful I continue to feel to be part of that with you.
Many of you have checked out some of Davey and Mitch's other broadcasts and followed them on their various socials and honestly you've just done a kickass job representing the community, the project, the characters, and honestly humanity. They're good dudes and they're really trying to push a spotlight on other indie projects and they need all the help they can get. So thanks for checking them out, following, liking, and just giving them more traffic.
Personal Stuff
I stated before that I was pretty nervous about this interview. I really struggle to narrow down the flurry of thoughts that are in my head sometimes. When interacting on here, through typing or writing, that's much easier to minimize because I can reread things multiple times before I send them. My writing drafts go through dozens and dozens of revisions before I share them just to try to filter most of that out. I was worried how much of the raw me was going to come out during a live interview. How I could be passionate about something for years now and have that fire behind me but not be able to articulate all of those feelings and stories into an answer to a simple question. It's no secret that I don't really like being in the spotlight and I'd rather the story or the characters take the center stage. But Davey and Mitch had some really fair questions and some of those answers are fun. Some of the behind-the-scenes stories are fun to tell and share and they make me happy-- how it started, why it started, some of the problems along the way, who's helped me and what they contributed, and how after all these years I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing, lol. Those can be fun to talk and laugh about. It was nostalgic to go back to the beginning. To remember my roots and how things started and how far they've come and honestly it was fun to walk that road and to try my best to tell it in the most honest way possible: raw unfiltered me.

Many of you felt the interview was articulate and for that I'm grateful. If you didn't feel it was articulate: now you know why I write the story rather than have a fucking talk show, lmao. Honestly, it was a good day for me so hopefully many of you got something out of it. It was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it and may even be open to doing something like that again.
Uncut (No this isn't what you think)
So for those that enjoyed the interview, the published one clocked in at 55 minutes. That was the edited copy. I recently learned that Davey had an uncut copy and I reached out because I wanted to drop it in my secret motivation folder. The uncut version clocks in just under 69 minutes (yeah... I said 69 and uncut in the same paragraph) and is audio only-- no video. Davey already has it published on their Patreon page in the $5 tier. The link is for the BQN, their podcast network which features their show as well as some others and a ton of sci-fi content if you like that kinda stuff. I've been given permission to share it with all of you as well but I'm going to give them a head start-- afterall, they did all the editing work and I pretty much just rambled and played with fidget toys and the metal straw on my water bottle (which you can clearly hear on the audio at times).

If you want to get the Uncut copy of the interview now, you can snag it from their patreon right now or I'll be releasing it over here on Saturday at the $5 tier to match their's.
One More Thanks
So once again, thank you. I'm blessed and I'm grateful and my heart is full. Thank you for continuing to stand behind the project and thank you for reaching out and supporting others who've supported this thing-- I know Davey and Mitch certainly appreciated you all.
