Yeah, if you are getting errors when loading an old save, the fastest way to get back to where you were is start a new game and use the Skip feature to fast-forward.
Would love to do an Android version at some point, I just need funds to hire someone to help me do a port since I don't have the programming knowledge to do it myself. So I don't know when that'll come out.
I wasn't originally planning to do a gallery, but last minute decided I should. There wasn't time to implement it, so I added the tracker at the end so players could know how many CGs had been viewed, just as a placeholder. In an upcoming update I'll add a proper gallery, but it'll be viewed on the character's profile rather than in the main game gallery.
The club sequence takes place in the timeline before the Marco hookup. After Will's class earlier in the day, you get to choose who you want to spend the afternoon with. At the end of that afternoon hangout, you get asked how you want to spend the evening - that's the point to pick the club.
If you have a save prior to that point, you can load it up and make the choice. Otherwise fast-forwarding from the start using the skip feature will get you there.
hey, i just wanted to ask a bit in advance - how should I go about updating the game when New You comes out??? i've really enjoyed the whole game so far :)
There's nothing special that needs to be done, just download and then launch the .exe from the new game folder. Your saves are kept in a separate section of your computer, so you can delete the old game folder so you don't have two of them taking up space 🙂
You need to meet the character in the game before it'll unlock. Since the feature was just added, you'll need to trigger it even if you already met him in your playthrough. It's pretty simple - go to the club and meet people around the bar. You'll get a pop-up when it's unlocked.
I love this game so much!! Not only is the artwork great but the dialogue is also pretty good. I'm having trouble unlocking some CGs and was wondering if anyone could help me out:
Connor: 2nd and 5th pictures in the fourth row, and 1st picture in fifth row
Connor - These are from the solo club route. Easiest way to get all three is to go to the club, then explore on your own after Alex's presentation, but don't have any drinks yet. The first CG unlocks when you go to dance. After the Skinema performance, choose to keep looking around solo. First choose to dance, then keep getting drinks from Griffin until you're visibly drunk, around 4. Go dance again and the second CG should unlock. Then drink once more, do whatever option you feel like, and the final CG will unlock.
Asher - At the club, hang out with Asher after Alex's presentation. Midway through you'll get asked if you want to flirt with him or not. To fast track to the CG, just ask about his process. If you do flirt, don't pick the "NC17 & Mafia have the right idea" option. The CG will unlock after the Skinema performance.
Griffin - Go to Griffin's apartment to hook up, then back out of going through with it (continue to avoid kissing him). One CG will appear with the option to ask what he's watching. Ask him, and the second CG will unlock.
Matt - Hang out with Matt after Will's class, then make sure to proposition him without trying to play it off as a joke. Stay at the apartment to hang with him & Leo, then choose to nudge Matt's knee when prompted.
The newest Matt CGs are found via Griffin's route, so you'll need to play through the club section to unlock them. The continuation of the night at Matt's place is coming in the next story update that I'm working on now 🙂
The writing is really good, you're juggling a couple different themes very adroitly. My only gripe is there's such more variety in cock/ball shapes/sizes... which is very silly and very gay of me to nitpick :)
I'm glad you like the writing! The similar dick shapes is due to me not knowing how to manipulate the penis asset I use when I first made the characters. I've been changing it up for the more recently created characters 🙂
The next story update will follow up with every storyline guy. I'm pretty sure what I have planned for Riley will keep you well fed 😉 I'm still working on the update but will post here when I have more concrete release info.
I've taken a hiatus in playing VNs and have only gotten back recently. Julian has always been my favorite character and I really enjoyed the frat party update. Thank you.
First, I want to say that I enjoyed playing the game. All the guys are handsome and the story around them are well written. The story around Julian was a total surprise for me. (And he was the hottest one in my opinion.) I have a weakness for well-built guys in sports outfits. Just look at Trevor :D and his college jacket.
Did somebody else find Wes intriguing? I like the style with the colored pink hair, the tattoos, and his sarcasm. I would at least like to spend more time with him and he is a dorm guy after all.
Can somebody help me out with the CGs Griffin 5? Maybe I am missing some Matt content? I am not sure here. Is the last one I am missing.
For Griffin's 5th CG, after Skinema performs, choose one of the dance options (either dance with Isaiah or dance solo). There might be other ways to unlock it, but that worked for me.
You know, I don't really see many comments about Wes, so I'm glad you find him intriguing. You'll have chances to spend time with all the dorm guys in some fashion, though most likely not one-on-one like the main characters.
You're in luck in regard to Trevor. There's a new feature coming soon that lets you unlock fantasy hookups with some side characters, with a new one coming between each story update. Trevor was just voted to be the second guy to get a hookup, so that'll be unlockable in a future update.
For that CG, dominozz has it right, but there's one additional requirement to unlock it. You need to spend your time after Alex's presentation with Griffin, then after the Skinema show choose to go dance solo or with Isaiah. Once you go downstairs, that CG will unlock.
I would love to, I just don't have the coding knowledge or funds to hire someone who does in order to do a port. But once I do, I'll make an Android version for sure, I just don't know how soon that'll be.
This is just a guess, but I think this might be a CG set which features all three guys (Alex, NC17, & Mafia). If the images you're missing for Alex are on the bottom row, this is the easiest way to find them:
Hang out with Alex in the afternoon after Will's class, then go to the club with him
Spend the evening with him, but when he propositions you after his fan pops up, turn him down
Leave the club and choose to go out the back exit
As you leave, you'll hear some interesting noises; go investigate
That'll unlock the CGs for all three of them. This isn't the only way to get the CGs; as long as you know the back exit exists and leave that way you can find it.
If those Alex CGs on the bottom row aren't the ones you're missing, let me know which ones that are and I can point you in the right direction.
I registered on this site to thank the author and creator of this novel for it, I honestly thought that I left my sincere and childish delight from reading the works and falling in love with the characters of these stories in childhood and early adolescence.I honestly admit that when I downloaded the novel, I judged it only by the pictures and showed interest only because of the sex screenshots, intending to skip the text and stare at the sex scenes......And what was my surprise when I started reading and just lost touch with reality for a few hours, having experienced a whole bunch of emotions of the story itself, that the long-forgotten children's delight from the magnificent characters who open up so beautifully and fall in love with themselves, even if they may not like it outwardly at first, or vice versa, catching on with their appearance, spoil the impression of themselves, Connor should get to know them closer (Yes, I'm talking about you Leo, you're sooo bad)I have opened less than half of all the content, but the three guys of this story have already irrevocably stolen my heart:Matt, because the story of really falling in love with my best friend is very close to me, and I think it's close to a lot of guys.Marco, who, frankly speaking, I didn't like at first, but a sex scene with him she revealed him to be an unexpectedly sweet and sensitive guy, which made me hesitate between him and Matt, but then a third guy came on the scene and just asked these two to hold his beer:-) Although it would most likely be some kind of herbal tea.I'm talking about Owen))))This guy........Uuuhhhh, why is he so perfect??)))My best friend was quite similar to him, he was not fond of auras, vibrations and perfumes, but his character of a sweet older brother, his soft and such a warm, pleasant charm made him just an amazing friend.Unfortunately, he has gone quite far away and due to some circumstances we cannot to keep in touch, but he was the best thing in my life and Owen reminds me very much of him, while having his own unique charm, just gorgeous appearance and excellent orientation)))The author, I want to tell you just an inexpressible thank you for such a work, for the second day I do not stop smiling and enjoying the emotions received and the reader's concern for Connor's relationship and his fate as a whole.Now my meaning of life is to see the romantic line between Matt and Connor.......Or Owen and Connor (I'm telling you, these guys stole my heart and I'm at a loss who, the first one give it away).I wholeheartedly wish you talent, attitude and desire to continue this wonderful story, and of course favorable circumstances.Once again, thank you very much for the children's delight and emotions experienced again.Sincerely Pavel
Oh wow, thank you so much for all of your kind words! It's wonderful to read that you connected so much to some of the characters and got to relive your younger years playing through the story. I'm sure there are plenty of players who just skip to the hookup CGs, which is valid—I make them sexy for a reason 😉 But knowing that others are coming for the hot pictures and end up getting captured by the story itself is so gratifying and humbling.
I have so much romantic content planned alongside the steamy CGs, and I'm working as fast I can to let you develop your relationships with guys like Owen soon. I think it'll be worth the wait 🙂
Well, I finished going through all the available content, and frankly I thought that no one else could shake the throne of the main favorite on which Owen sat, how wrong I was :-).............To be honest, I'm even kind of embarrassed in front of myself that I'm so fickle in choosing favorites, but Griffin..........Not only is this guy just extremely cute (and he is the only one who does not lose a single gram of his appearance on the arts, but looks even more beautiful), his moral component is so thoroughly worked out that....I just don't have the words.I think he would be perfect without exaggeration a villain with a gray morality and ambiguous decisions, in works where the authors would like to see the reader's sympathy on the side of such a villain or in stories where such a character would lure a banal kind and bright GG (Main Character) to his side.In Griffin, charm mixed with danger is so masterfully embodied, and at the same time he is sweet, friendly and adult.....I just don't have enough words to fully express how much I liked and fascinated this character.To be honest, against the background of such literally amazing guys, Matt somehow fades, usually a romantic line with the best my friend has always been the most expected and popular for me, but in this story, mainly Griffin, followed by Owen, pushed poor Matt into the second, or rather the third plan.I just wrote an enthusiastic tirade yesterday about the story itself and a few guys, but Griffin.....Personally, in my opinion, he is now the best of the guys represented and dominates them completely.As a teenager, I was very much in love with the vampire Edward from Twilight for a long time (Robert Pattinson, you are in my heart forever).But now, being an adult, albeit a young guy, 23 years old, I am very firmly and no less for a long time fell in love with Griffin.It looks like the walls of my bedroom will again be hung with art, drawings and screenshots of a fictional guy I fell head over heels in love with)))))))Author, thank you for this!!!)
This is awesome to read. Griffin was the last main character introduced, so it took me a little bit to find his "voice." Once I did, I really enjoyed writing his storyline. His story is designed to be alluring but confusing, especially since he and Connor had and are having such different life experiences. The gray morality "villain" archetype is definitely part of him, but not all of him, which it seems you discovered. I'm really looking forward to seeing how people react as his story continues...
I'm very interested in what the interaction between Owen and Griffin would look like)Griffin, despite all the friendly nature, is clearly dangerous as hell if you start digging into his soul.Judging by what he said, he was clearly treated very badly in 21SA, it is quite possible that this is somehow connected with the professionals, which is why it hurts him very much, well, this is clearly not his only secret and pain.And Owen is perfectly able to read people, thanks to his experience with auras and vibrations, but judging by how he tried to find sex for Connor, he lacks tact and, in general, brakes when talking.And that's why I would really like to see the interaction these two, what kind of atmosphere could develop between them)How Griffin would slow down Owen, and how much he could see the darkness in his soul, and perhaps warn Connor.Still, considering that Griffin likes to tell, albeit superficial, but compromising evidence on students, it would be honest and interesting if Owen applied this to him.And by the way I wanted to ask:What will a relationship with him look like at all?All this polygamy and belief in free love, plus Julian, who I think will be completely unhappy that Connor got close to Owen?I think it would be interesting if Connor could bring some characters are related to each other, for example Matt and Griffin, who are clearly combined with each other and there is a fair chemistry between them, or Owen and Julian, who with his "naturalness" just hangs around Owen's neck as a free client of a psychotherapist.I apologize for the big comments, it's just that this novel gave me a real spiritual youth and enthusiasm)
It would be interesting to see Griffin and Owen together for sure since they have such different vibes but aren't necessarily dissimilar in other ways. Griffin is older than Owen and a bit savvier and more cynical, but he might be charmed by Owen's friendliness like he's charmed by Connor.
I don't have any romances that are more than two people solely because it'd be very hard to keep track of writing-wise and especially coding-wise. However, some guys will want to be strictly monogamous, others have an open relationship, and others somewhere in-between. So if you romance Owen, there won't be an option to add Julian as a third romantic partner, but Julian could perhaps fit in other ways.
I do have some romances planned between characters if Connor doesn't romance them or spend much time with them. Interestingly, not Matt & Griffin or Matt & Leo, but I do have someone Matt will romance if Connor doesn't go for either of them. I'll leave that a secret for now...
Hey Danny! I seriously fell in love with this game and look forward to the next update.
In the meantime, I wanted to know: what are your thoughts on a fan-made wiki/encyclopedia, similar to the Coming Out On Top Wiki? (I envision pages primarily containing paragraphs on characters' appearance, background, relationships with other characters, and a general guide for unlocking CGs similar to how you address CG questions in this comment section, but not including exact dialogue or as many in-game screenshots as the COOT Wiki, though that's my personal approach).
I love making/contributing to wikis and can't get enough of this game. Let me know what your thoughts are, and whether you have any reservations or if you're supportive of this idea. TIA!
Hey there! I would be incredibly flattered to have an unofficial Wiki made for the game. I have zero reservations, so if that's something you'd like to do, you can absolutely feel free.
I'm just loving everything about this game!
Whoever you are, dev/creator, I love you man!
I was already tired of games like this with uninteresting
characters and only bottom protagonists.
Your game has so many interesting characters that it is
difficult to choose one to follow the game.
I'm super excited to see what the Updates will be like.
Congratulations on the incredible work
Thank you so much 🙂 Doing everything solo means it takes a little longer than I'd like to get updates out, but I'm working diligently to keep the story going. And Connor will have his choice of position - I thought it'd be way too limiting to make him just a bottom!
I don't mind waiting a few months if it means an update with top-notch content, something your game certainly already has!
I really like how you developed the characters very well, Riley actually looks a lot like my ex, so I'm a little obsessed with him, and the fact that he's also a bottom makes everything better lol.
I'm really excited for the update whenever it comes. I hope with more scenes with Riley ;)
Typically not a fan of games with this art style/visual novels but I'm so glad I tried this one. It quickly became one of my favorite NSFW games if not my all time favorite. All the characters feel really fleshed out for this being pretty early in development, all the characters genuinely felt different personality wise. Consent is also handled amazingly in this game, even having an ending (currently) where there's absolutely no sexual scenes at all. Tons of replicability that I actually wanted to enjoy due to overall enjoyable characters (Personal favorite was riley)
Cannot wait for future updates and hopefully a discord server.
So glad you like it! I'm definitely aiming to handle consent carefully, I'm glad that's noticed 🙂 I may make a Discord server soon, if I do I'll make an announcement on here.
Hey, I'm glad you like it 🙂 The main thing you need is Ren'Py, which is free. It's the program that streamlines making a game like this. For the actual coding I use VSCode, which is also free. Art is made via Daz 3D, which is free but you need to find/buy assets to make anything substantial. And I do post-processing for the images in GIMP, which is basically free Photoshop. There's lots of tutorials on YouTube for all of these programs.
The next story update will have more Riley to follow up on what can happen at the party. The update being worked on now is a smaller, interstitial update that revises 300+ CGs and an unlockable bonus hookup, to tide us over until the story update is done.
So basically: New You Update is next adding new CGs and a hookup, followed by Morning After Update that'll continue Riley and everyone else's stories. No firm release date for either yet.
All of Matt's new CGs can be found by playing through the Griffin storyline. He'll signpost when you can unlock those, but to be specific: say yes to watching a certain video and later on ask about what Matt likes to do in bed.
I'm not currently able to do a mobile port. I would like to in the future, but it'll depend on when I have enough funds to hire someone to help me. So no ETA on that at the moment.
Hey there! I downloaded this game before the club update, I just wanted to ask how do I update the game without deleting/erasing the old version's data? (sorry im new to itch.io heh)
Your saves and persistent data like gallery unlocks are saved separately on your computer from the game files. You can delete the old game folder with the prior version and download the new one. When you launch the new version, you'll be able to load your existing saves.
Hello there, I downloaded and played the game, and want to say that this game is really good! the writing feels very natural and well done for each character, all the guys are very hot and their personalities are well portrayed. I'm really invested!
Riley is exclusively a bottom, but if your Connor is as well, I'll have some options for how to work around that when hooking up. Only one other person has a strict position preference. Everyone else is verse.
*sorry if this is a late question to ask* but if Riley a bottom and the player Connor is a verse will the player have the option to let Riley top or is it locked behind bottom Connor? *also if you don't mind saying who the other person that has a strict position :)*
Riley won't top but I'm planning to add top-adjacent stuff with the two of you using toys. I won't lock anything behind Connor's preferences, so if you play as a bottom most of the game that doesn't mean you can't still top if you want to.
The other person with a strict preference is Isaiah, who's top-only. I should add it's entirely possible that as I write I'll change these two to not be so strict with their preferences, but that's the plan right now.
Thanks for the details! This is the error mentioned under "Troubleshooting" in the dev log post. It's the game not recognizing newly added choice flags and invalidating that particular save. The only way I know to fix it is to start a new game and skip forward to the point you left off. It's a pain, but unfortunately happens since this is an in-development game. Skipping through usually only takes a minute or two, thankfully, you'll just need to click your choices again.
awesome thank you I didn’t see the troubleshooting part. Makes sense indeed, wasn’t sure if you were aware to it. Just glad it’s a simple and known thing.

Your work is incredible and intriguing! I can't wait to see more of it, Riley is definitely my fave ♥️
Thank you so much 🙂
do i need to start the game from the beginning? Loading old safes don;t work. I get error messages.
Yeah, if you are getting errors when loading an old save, the fastest way to get back to where you were is start a new game and use the Skip feature to fast-forward.
can you hookup with leo and riley yet?
Yes for Leo, his hookup is already in the game. Riley not yet, but I won't make you wait too long story-wise.
Will we get to see Connor and Evan do it?
You will indeed. Their first time is actually already written, we just need to get there in the story...
Okay New Conner is a Hotty and I still want get with Matt
There is gonna be some good Matt content coming at the very start of the next story update, don't you worry 😉
Yay, Cant wait
Android??
Would love to do an Android version at some point, I just need funds to hire someone to help me do a port since I don't have the programming knowledge to do it myself. So I don't know when that'll come out.
Jordi's Grind'm scenario was really hot, loved it. One question though: is it intentional that his CGs aren't featured in the gallery?
I wasn't originally planning to do a gallery, but last minute decided I should. There wasn't time to implement it, so I added the tracker at the end so players could know how many CGs had been viewed, just as a placeholder. In an upcoming update I'll add a proper gallery, but it'll be viewed on the character's profile rather than in the main game gallery.
What time will the update be available tomorrow?
Completely missed your question earlier today - sorry! Anyway, it's out right now 🙂
This is one of the most enjoyable VN's I've played, from the dialogue to the visuals! I'm looking forward to seeing what you add in the future.
Thank you! 🙂
Looking forward to get some more hot scenes with Julian please 🥵
Julian will have more hot scenes, don't worry 😉
I'm currently stuck after hooking up with Marco. How am I able to access the club update?
Those are different routes I think
The club sequence takes place in the timeline before the Marco hookup. After Will's class earlier in the day, you get to choose who you want to spend the afternoon with. At the end of that afternoon hangout, you get asked how you want to spend the evening - that's the point to pick the club.

FreshmenVN how to access te grind'm?? he seems to be off line. I am trying to access it from main menu. v0.2.1??
You need to meet the character in the game before it'll unlock. Since the feature was just added, you'll need to trigger it even if you already met him in your playthrough. It's pretty simple - go to the club and meet people around the bar. You'll get a pop-up when it's unlocked.
I love this game so much!! Not only is the artwork great but the dialogue is also pretty good. I'm having trouble unlocking some CGs and was wondering if anyone could help me out:
Connor: 2nd and 5th pictures in the fourth row, and 1st picture in fifth row
Asher: 4th picture in second row
Griffin: 4th and 5th pictures in second row
Matt: 2nd picture in third row
Happy to hear you love it 🙂 For those CGs:

The writing is really good, you're juggling a couple different themes very adroitly. My only gripe is there's such more variety in cock/ball shapes/sizes... which is very silly and very gay of me to nitpick :)
I'm glad you like the writing! The similar dick shapes is due to me not knowing how to manipulate the penis asset I use when I first made the characters. I've been changing it up for the more recently created characters 🙂
So who's the most popular guy among the fans so far?
Matt & Riley tend to be the guys I see most people comment about.
But Marcoooo! The puppy nickname is just too cute!☺️
I like Marco too! I think hooking up with your college roommate is a recipe for disaster. But! I'm all in on this fantasy though.
It's a good thing it's a game right? In real life, I'm sure hooking up with your roommate would give you a lot of drama😆
Whens the next riley update riley lovers are starvinggg
The next story update will follow up with every storyline guy. I'm pretty sure what I have planned for Riley will keep you well fed 😉 I'm still working on the update but will post here when I have more concrete release info.
I've taken a hiatus in playing VNs and have only gotten back recently. Julian has always been my favorite character and I really enjoyed the frat party update. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I dont care for excuses but I need tha goddam guide for the CGs
Man this is amazing good writing and all. I can't wait to see what's ahead. and wow Evan is really cute I hope seeing more of him in the future
Thanks 🙂 You'll definitely see more Evan, especially if you slept at the frat house...
oooh nice, can't wait ☺️☺️. I did go to the party but I get home. well time to replay.
First, I want to say that I enjoyed playing the game. All the guys are handsome and the story around them are well written. The story around Julian was a total surprise for me.

Thanks a lot. It worked out :).
Do you plan to make this game for Android too, I played a little on my computer but even my microwave is more powerful than that🤣🤣
I would love to, I just don't have the coding knowledge or funds to hire someone who does in order to do a port. But once I do, I'll make an Android version for sure, I just don't know how soon that'll be.
how do i unlock matt,NC's and alex cgs omg it just says to be continued despite all the cgs im missing
ok i found out matts..

I registered on this site to thank the author and creator of this novel for it, I honestly thought that I left my sincere and childish delight from reading the works and falling in love with the characters of these stories in childhood and early adolescence.I honestly admit that when I downloaded the novel, I judged it only by the pictures and showed interest only because of the sex screenshots, intending to skip the text and stare at the sex scenes......And what was my surprise when I started reading and just lost touch with reality for a few hours, having experienced a whole bunch of emotions of the story itself, that the long-forgotten children's delight from the magnificent characters who open up so beautifully and fall in love with themselves, even if they may not like it outwardly at first, or vice versa, catching on with their appearance, spoil the impression of themselves, Connor should get to know them closer (Yes, I'm talking about you Leo, you're sooo bad)I have opened less than half of all the content, but the three guys of this story have already irrevocably stolen my heart:Matt, because the story of really falling in love with my best friend is very close to me, and I think it's close to a lot of guys.Marco, who, frankly speaking, I didn't like at first, but a sex scene with him she revealed him to be an unexpectedly sweet and sensitive guy, which made me hesitate between him and Matt, but then a third guy came on the scene and just asked these two to hold his beer:-) Although it would most likely be some kind of herbal tea.I'm talking about Owen))))This guy........Uuuhhhh, why is he so perfect??)))My best friend was quite similar to him, he was not fond of auras, vibrations and perfumes, but his character of a sweet older brother, his soft and such a warm, pleasant charm made him just an amazing friend.Unfortunately, he has gone quite far away and due to some circumstances we cannot to keep in touch, but he was the best thing in my life and Owen reminds me very much of him, while having his own unique charm, just gorgeous appearance and excellent orientation)))The author, I want to tell you just an inexpressible thank you for such a work, for the second day I do not stop smiling and enjoying the emotions received and the reader's concern for Connor's relationship and his fate as a whole.Now my meaning of life is to see the romantic line between Matt and Connor.......Or Owen and Connor (I'm telling you, these guys stole my heart and I'm at a loss who, the first one give it away).I wholeheartedly wish you talent, attitude and desire to continue this wonderful story, and of course favorable circumstances.Once again, thank you very much for the children's delight and emotions experienced again.Sincerely Pavel
Oh wow, thank you so much for all of your kind words! It's wonderful to read that you connected so much to some of the characters and got to relive your younger years playing through the story. I'm sure there are plenty of players who just skip to the hookup CGs, which is valid—I make them sexy for a reason 😉 But knowing that others are coming for the hot pictures and end up getting captured by the story itself is so gratifying and humbling.
I have so much romantic content planned alongside the steamy CGs, and I'm working as fast I can to let you develop your relationships with guys like Owen soon. I think it'll be worth the wait 🙂
Well, I finished going through all the available content, and frankly I thought that no one else could shake the throne of the main favorite on which Owen sat, how wrong I was :-).............To be honest, I'm even kind of embarrassed in front of myself that I'm so fickle in choosing favorites, but Griffin..........Not only is this guy just extremely cute (and he is the only one who does not lose a single gram of his appearance on the arts, but looks even more beautiful), his moral component is so thoroughly worked out that....I just don't have the words.I think he would be perfect without exaggeration a villain with a gray morality and ambiguous decisions, in works where the authors would like to see the reader's sympathy on the side of such a villain or in stories where such a character would lure a banal kind and bright GG (Main Character) to his side.In Griffin, charm mixed with danger is so masterfully embodied, and at the same time he is sweet, friendly and adult.....I just don't have enough words to fully express how much I liked and fascinated this character.To be honest, against the background of such literally amazing guys, Matt somehow fades, usually a romantic line with the best my friend has always been the most expected and popular for me, but in this story, mainly Griffin, followed by Owen, pushed poor Matt into the second, or rather the third plan.I just wrote an enthusiastic tirade yesterday about the story itself and a few guys, but Griffin.....Personally, in my opinion, he is now the best of the guys represented and dominates them completely.As a teenager, I was very much in love with the vampire Edward from Twilight for a long time (Robert Pattinson, you are in my heart forever).But now, being an adult, albeit a young guy, 23 years old, I am very firmly and no less for a long time fell in love with Griffin.It looks like the walls of my bedroom will again be hung with art, drawings and screenshots of a fictional guy I fell head over heels in love with)))))))Author, thank you for this!!!)
This is awesome to read. Griffin was the last main character introduced, so it took me a little bit to find his "voice." Once I did, I really enjoyed writing his storyline. His story is designed to be alluring but confusing, especially since he and Connor had and are having such different life experiences. The gray morality "villain" archetype is definitely part of him, but not all of him, which it seems you discovered. I'm really looking forward to seeing how people react as his story continues...
I'm very interested in what the interaction between Owen and Griffin would look like)Griffin, despite all the friendly nature, is clearly dangerous as hell if you start digging into his soul.Judging by what he said, he was clearly treated very badly in 21SA, it is quite possible that this is somehow connected with the professionals, which is why it hurts him very much, well, this is clearly not his only secret and pain.And Owen is perfectly able to read people, thanks to his experience with auras and vibrations, but judging by how he tried to find sex for Connor, he lacks tact and, in general, brakes when talking.And that's why I would really like to see the interaction these two, what kind of atmosphere could develop between them)How Griffin would slow down Owen, and how much he could see the darkness in his soul, and perhaps warn Connor.Still, considering that Griffin likes to tell, albeit superficial, but compromising evidence on students, it would be honest and interesting if Owen applied this to him.And by the way I wanted to ask:What will a relationship with him look like at all?All this polygamy and belief in free love, plus Julian, who I think will be completely unhappy that Connor got close to Owen?I think it would be interesting if Connor could bring some characters are related to each other, for example Matt and Griffin, who are clearly combined with each other and there is a fair chemistry between them, or Owen and Julian, who with his "naturalness" just hangs around Owen's neck as a free client of a psychotherapist.I apologize for the big comments, it's just that this novel gave me a real spiritual youth and enthusiasm)
It would be interesting to see Griffin and Owen together for sure since they have such different vibes but aren't necessarily dissimilar in other ways. Griffin is older than Owen and a bit savvier and more cynical, but he might be charmed by Owen's friendliness like he's charmed by Connor.
I don't have any romances that are more than two people solely because it'd be very hard to keep track of writing-wise and especially coding-wise. However, some guys will want to be strictly monogamous, others have an open relationship, and others somewhere in-between. So if you romance Owen, there won't be an option to add Julian as a third romantic partner, but Julian could perhaps fit in other ways.
I do have some romances planned between characters if Connor doesn't romance them or spend much time with them. Interestingly, not Matt & Griffin or Matt & Leo, but I do have someone Matt will romance if Connor doesn't go for either of them. I'll leave that a secret for now...
Hey Danny! I seriously fell in love with this game and look forward to the next update.
In the meantime, I wanted to know: what are your thoughts on a fan-made wiki/encyclopedia, similar to the Coming Out On Top Wiki? (I envision pages primarily containing paragraphs on characters' appearance, background, relationships with other characters, and a general guide for unlocking CGs similar to how you address CG questions in this comment section, but not including exact dialogue or as many in-game screenshots as the COOT Wiki, though that's my personal approach).
I love making/contributing to wikis and can't get enough of this game. Let me know what your thoughts are, and whether you have any reservations or if you're supportive of this idea. TIA!
Hey there! I would be incredibly flattered to have an unofficial Wiki made for the game. I have zero reservations, so if that's something you'd like to do, you can absolutely feel free.
Wonderful, thank you! I've gotten a few pages started, though it's currently mostly a skeleton. If you're curious about the progress, here's the link.
This looks awesome, I love it! If you want a head start for updating to the new version of Connor, here's his standard Day 2 sprite:
And the new version of the CG used for his bio page:
It looks great, to such a large and elaborate game, Wiki will be an indispensable addition, thank you so much for your idea, and work)
Does anyone know how to unlock matt CG´s? Im stuck :(
I can guide you in the right direction. Which ones are you missing?
Are you able to romance nc17?
NC is a hookup-only character. He's definitely not got romance on the mind at this point in his life, haha.
Thank you so much 🙂 Doing everything solo means it takes a little longer than I'd like to get updates out, but I'm working diligently to keep the story going. And Connor will have his choice of position - I thought it'd be way too limiting to make him just a bottom!
I don't mind waiting a few months if it means an update with top-notch content, something your game certainly already has!
I really like how you developed the characters very well, Riley actually looks a lot like my ex, so I'm a little obsessed with him, and the fact that he's also a bottom makes everything better lol.
I'm really excited for the update whenever it comes. I hope with more scenes with Riley ;)
There'll definitely be some fun Riley content in the next story update 🙂 Especially if you made it to the makeout scene...
Typically not a fan of games with this art style/visual novels but I'm so glad I tried this one.
It quickly became one of my favorite NSFW games if not my all time favorite.
All the characters feel really fleshed out for this being pretty early in development, all the characters genuinely felt different personality wise.
Consent is also handled amazingly in this game, even having an ending (currently) where there's absolutely no sexual scenes at all.
Tons of replicability that I actually wanted to enjoy due to overall enjoyable characters (Personal favorite was riley)
Cannot wait for future updates and hopefully a discord server.
So glad you like it! I'm definitely aiming to handle consent carefully, I'm glad that's noticed 🙂 I may make a Discord server soon, if I do I'll make an announcement on here.
Hey, I'm glad you like it 🙂 The main thing you need is Ren'Py, which is free. It's the program that streamlines making a game like this. For the actual coding I use VSCode, which is also free. Art is made via Daz 3D, which is free but you need to find/buy assets to make anything substantial. And I do post-processing for the images in GIMP, which is basically free Photoshop. There's lots of tutorials on YouTube for all of these programs.
Any plans to eventually have voice actors for the characters?
I would love that, but it wouldn't be until somewhere far down the line when most of the game is written and I have funds to hire VAs.
When is the next riley update?
The next story update will have more Riley to follow up on what can happen at the party. The update being worked on now is a smaller, interstitial update that revises 300+ CGs and an unlockable bonus hookup, to tide us over until the story update is done.
So basically: New You Update is next adding new CGs and a hookup, followed by Morning After Update that'll continue Riley and everyone else's stories. No firm release date for either yet.
I'm having a little trouble getting the new Matt CGs, his seem to be the only ones I'm struggling with...any advice?
All of Matt's new CGs can be found by playing through the Griffin storyline. He'll signpost when you can unlock those, but to be specific: say yes to watching a certain video and later on ask about what Matt likes to do in bed.
hiii i was wondering when you were making an android version of the new update?
I'm not currently able to do a mobile port. I would like to in the future, but it'll depend on when I have enough funds to hire someone to help me. So no ETA on that at the moment.
Hey there! I downloaded this game before the club update, I just wanted to ask how do I update the game without deleting/erasing the old version's data? (sorry im new to itch.io heh)
Your saves and persistent data like gallery unlocks are saved separately on your computer from the game files. You can delete the old game folder with the prior version and download the new one. When you launch the new version, you'll be able to load your existing saves.
alright!! thank you so much!
Hello there, I downloaded and played the game, and want to say that this game is really good! the writing feels very natural and well done for each character, all the guys are very hot and their personalities are well portrayed. I'm really invested!
I'm so glad you're enjoying it 🙂
There currently isn't a mobile port, though I plan to do one down the line when I'm able to afford help making one.
I currently play it with JoiPlay and works fine. Although android port would be appreciated. You can substitute it for now.
How??
can Riley be a top?
Riley is exclusively a bottom, but if your Connor is as well, I'll have some options for how to work around that when hooking up. Only one other person has a strict position preference. Everyone else is verse.
*sorry if this is a late question to ask* but if Riley a bottom and the player Connor is a verse will the player have the option to let Riley top or is it locked behind bottom Connor? *also if you don't mind saying who the other person that has a strict position :)*
Riley won't top but I'm planning to add top-adjacent stuff with the two of you using toys. I won't lock anything behind Connor's preferences, so if you play as a bottom most of the game that doesn't mean you can't still top if you want to.
The other person with a strict preference is Isaiah, who's top-only. I should add it's entirely possible that as I write I'll change these two to not be so strict with their preferences, but that's the plan right now.
Hey i keep getting a error as soon as i get into the club. I can send you what its doing if you would like.
Sure, what does the error say?

Thanks for the details! This is the error mentioned under "Troubleshooting" in the dev log post. It's the game not recognizing newly added choice flags and invalidating that particular save. The only way I know to fix it is to start a new game and skip forward to the point you left off. It's a pain, but unfortunately happens since this is an in-development game. Skipping through usually only takes a minute or two, thankfully, you'll just need to click your choices again.
awesome thank you I didn’t see the troubleshooting part. Makes sense indeed, wasn’t sure if you were aware to it. Just glad it’s a simple and known thing.
