FIRST TIME GAY SEX STORIES FORUMS UPDATE
(I'll update this thread sporadically, but post much more frequent updates on social media.)Īny and all feedback is appreciated. You can follow asset status (sprites, backgrounds, and music) on either my tumblr or Twitter. Now that this project has grown more serious, I have signed on the talents of a couple of artists and a musician, and am replacing game assets as they come in. Given my complete lack of artistic skills, I focused on what I was able to do (primarily writing and programming). However, as the number of characters and story kept growing, I figured it was worthwhile pursuing an actual game release. My goal, originally, was just to get stories from my head onto "paper". YAGS has followed an extremely non-standard development process. That's not to say it's a depressive slog, but it tries to have its realistic and serious moments, alongside the light-hearted ones.
YAGS is also intended to be significantly darker than CooT, dealing with a lot more of the fear, uncertainly, and angst that surrounds the coming out progress, and attempting to paint a realistic picture of what it could mean to be gay and to find yourself. That's why I call it a character-driven game: the story as as much about the lives of the people you interact with as it is about your own decisions and experiences. While you can pursue different guys, and therefore go down different "paths", the main "story" remains the same, and you will see the same events from different perspectives and get to know different characters better. In YAGS, all of the characters you meet are intertwined, even (and if) you start dating one of them. However, it is my hope that I've created something that is also extremely different and stands on its own. At a superficial level, the two games are fairly similar games in terms of setting and general goals. I'd had a bunch of disparate stories and ideas bouncing around my head for years, but playing CooT kind of gave me the kick I needed and convinced me that I should write them down, try to connect them together, and present them in a way that a player could interact with and play through. I can't talk about this game without talking about Coming Out on Top, by Obscurasoft. I also tweet general status updates, photos, and random thoughts in the development process. It's a way to pass the time while waiting for art assets, anyway.

If you have played the game, I've been writing a series of backstory fics for each of the characters, which you can read here. My wehsite has a lot of behind-the-scenes posts and general progress notes, so you can always follow that to see how things are going. (The game itself contains unlockable character profiles where you can learn more about the people that you meet.) As such, I don't want to include any background information about the characters here, but here's the characters - in their current finished-or-unfinished state - in the game. I think of YAGS as being about meeting and getting to know people. (Obviously, not all text will be in a given playthrough, as the game tries to adapt rather heavily to your choices, but that's still a general idea of size.) Stay tuned for details.Ĭurrent game stats: 26,491 dialog blocks, 234,551 words, 1,222,978 characters The game will be available on itch.io on Januat 10 AM EST. I hope it's enjoyable, even in its current unpolished state. This game is a lot of firsts for me: It's my first time using RenPy, my first time really doing any creative writing, and my first visual novel. While it does not contain any explicit sex or nudity, it does contain adult language, implied nudity and sex, and uncomfortable situations, and is not appropriate for children. The game will be free, but donations for bonus swag will be accepted. (The game is part dating sim, with four dateable guys (with good and bad endings for each), but hopefully is enjoyable enough to play even if you don't manage to find a boyfriend.) You'll meet people, make friends, come out, and maybe start dating someone.
Yearning: A Gay Story (YAGS for short) is a coming-out-focused character-driven slice-of-life game set during your freshman year on a college campus (phew). (Previously "Yet Another Gay Dating Sim")
