Thanks for your hard work on this game! I'm really enjoying the great CG and writing so far. Got a question about updating the game- whenever you release new content, is there an updater in the game itself? Or if it involves manual file replacements, are there instructions how to do it?
Also, you mentioned being a pro writer who wants to create anonymously, which I get means you can't share what other stuff you write. But anything you can recommend?
Hey there, I'm glad you've been enjoying it so far 🙂 Each download is the complete game, so all you need to do is delete the old folder containing the previous version of the game, then launch the game from the new download. All your saves and unlocked images are in another location on your computer, so they'll still pop up in the new version when you launch it.
There's also the Itch.io desktop app you could use to just update without needing to delete anything. They have info on it here: https://itch.io/app
As for recommendations, the related games link at the top of my game's main page brings up some good options. Coming Out on Top was a big influence on this game, and it was Summer Vacation that inspired me to try my hand at making a VN myself.
Giving book recommendations from the previous genres I wrote in would be too big a hint as to my actual identity, so I'll have to be coy about what I'd rec related to those 😉
There is no audio in the game yet. I want to add SFX/music at some point, but it was put on the backburner because at the time I looked into it, I couldn't find a source of royalty-free sounds/music that allows its tracks to be used in an adult entertainment product.
After see Dominic rework well, I'm going to be VERY honest, I understand the need to remake Dominic more than any other, I'm a long-time fan who's been looking forward to this game since my friend introduced me to, unfortunately the first negative aspect in general would be the fact that I won't be able to have my romantic ending with everyone I'm interested in, so the game having so many options and half of them being just One Night Stands is quite "lame" in itself, even because the patreon content gallery already exists outside the game and have a good amount of action, but back to my point, Dominic and the feelings we've both always had for him, He's not a "digestible" kind of character and don't get me wrong, the feeling has always been exclusively "why are you there?" on him with the likely possibility of him being one of the romantic ones since his 'label/tag' is literally being the straightest guy in the cast, and I must say his construction in this part is simply "hetero beyond measure", while other games that have this same premise do something calmer and less 'problematic', this character (and the little I explored of him because I didn't feel the slightest desire compared to the rest), didn't please, besides the main point in a game like this, while the entire cast was already exceptionally handsome and well made for something made in daz3d (considering your experience now vs before) Dominic only seemed like those bad and poorly rendered secondary characters with very little appeal because not even his personality saved him, the feeling of thinking that he could "take the place" of Will, Tomas or even Owen as a romance option terrifies me (even though I don't have only them as likeable options) which makes me want to not pay/wait to see until the big reveal of who will be or not (because who knows how long it will take to get at a romance point) he's still not my favorite, but I think he will be better for being on the same level as the other characters and new players would prob like him more after the update
Hey there. Yeah, part of the reason I redesigned Dominic was to make him more visually appealing, but I also did it to give him a look more like I was originally trying to achieve as well as use a different generation of figure that would give me access to more assets I can use with him.
You don't need to worry about Owen - he is romanceable.
Dominic isn't taking up anyone's spot because every character was designed from the ground up to play a specific role. If he wasn't there, it doesn't mean Will would get a romance, it just means either there'd be one less romance or there would be an entirely different character who was created specifically to cover the archetype.
It seems you're not sure which guys have a romance, so I'll clear that up for you. The 10 romanceable guys are: Alex, Asher, Dominic, Evan, Griffin, Isaiah, Marco, Matt, Owen, and Riley. Only 6 main characters have a story that won't lead to a romance: Julian, Leo, Mafia, NC17, Tomas, and Will.
But just because those last 6 won't lead to a romance, it doesn't mean they will just be one-night stands with no story. The only guys who are purely hookup characters are the ones with a Grind'm scenario.
Hi after Matts hangouts I'm missing some CGS but the game ends there saying to be continued... So is there a way to get those CGS or are they there for a future update?
I tried using it but I never get to day "3" (Morning After) Story, After the Hangout event it ends there but I'm still missing CG 13 to 22, meaning I don't get the morning after event of the Story
You might be missing the ones you get from an alternate path. If you haven't gone to the club and hung out with the bartender, Griffin, he unlocks a bunch of Matt CGs.
Senior & Graduate patrons have access to the early dev build of the Morning After Update. When it's entirely finished and goes into early access, Juniors, Seniors, & Graduates get it 4 weeks early, and Sophomores 3 weeks early.
One of THE BEST visual novels i've ever played!! its amazing how many stroy lines there are already and we are still in act 1! you can see how much love and pasion went into developing this! Cant wait to continue the story!
So sorry I missed this - I didn't get a notification for some reason. Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Handling all the story threads can be very complicated, which is part of why the next update is taking so long - it follows up on every ending and all the variant choices that led up to them. But I'm pretty close to done with the part that references all the events, and I think the amount of reactivity will have been worth the effort 🙂
in the next update can you please add guild line to those locked gallery, iam a little bit lost and have no idea when or what choice i had to make to unlock them T___T. Love your work!
I want to write a guide, but making the game has been top priority, so it'll have to wait. When I have time to fit it in, I will, especially since it's gonna become more difficult to unlock some of the upcoming CGs. The unofficial guide that was already linked is a good source for now, though!
Sorry I missed your message, I'm glad Lionah already followed up! But just to confirm, hopefully September/October for the release. There are many, many ways to interact with Marco depending on the choices you made, so you'll definitely have content with him in the new update 🙂
I know everyone's been waiting patiently, and I'm definitely sorry for how long it's been. Really all I can say is that I'm working on it as fast as I can and devote the majority of every day to it. It's just one of those things where 1 task gets done and then I realize there are 10 more I didn't anticipate.
I did figure out some coding changes that'll vastly cut down on development time going forward, so I think once I'm past this update I can start getting them done quicker. It did mean I needed to rework a bunch of code to implement the fixes, but that's mostly done now.
I hate to make you feel rushed but do you have any idea when the next update will be out for free (this is the best game i've ever played, I can't wait!!) Sorry if you feel rushed I was just hoping for like a round about date (Gotta clear the calender 🤭🤭)
I don't have any sort of firm date, but it wouldn't be until mid-September at the earliest. This update has proven to be very, very complicated to write, code, and test as a solo developer, but once it's done I'm aiming to do more frequent releases.
Basically the continuation of every storyline is being addressed, and they intersect with each other in all sorts of ways. There's a lot of reactivity to choices in these scenes, during which you will make additional impactful choices, followed by a spot where I present every character you've had a significant interaction with so you can pick what you feel about them. The "how do you feel?" sections - whether in dialogue with other characters or just in your head - gives you a summary of your interactions so far, which can vary massively for some characters. You can react in a bunch of ways... which can in turn affect your Connor's mood, leading to alternate flavors of dialogue & sprite expressions as you continue the story.
What players will click through is a small fraction of what's going on behind the scenes. A sequence of 5 dialogue screens, for example, can be equivalent to hundreds of lines of code and thousands of words of writing that you may never see.
Additionally, I've been updating character models to fix defects, updating some art, fixing a bunch of choice flags, and more. It's a pretty hefty workload.
I'm still gonna have reactivity as the game advances, but I'm definitely not gonna do any sequence as complicated as this again. Hopefully this'll be the last of the huge content bottlenecks!
If you mean will they always be Patreon-only, I do plan to keep them exclusive. If you mean do patrons have access to all galleries that are available to their patron level, they do, going back to the first one I made in February 2022. As of today that's a total of 58 galleries containing 487 CGs across them.
So that's 29 Guy Galleries for Sophomores and up that have different themes and highlight different guys, and 29 Bonus Galleries for Juniors and up that show a hookup scenario featuring 2 or more of the guys from that month's Guy Gallery. Guy Galleries usually have 6 images, though I sometimes up the count; this past April had 12 images, for example. Bonus Galleries have 9 - 11 CGs.
Here's a sample from last month. Matt, Marco, & Wes represented indigo for the rainbow Pride flag-inspired Guy Gallery; the two artists showed at an exhibit with Matt as their muse:
They won the vote for the Bonus Gallery hookup. Here's one of the CGs from that set:
I'll have a dev build soon, which is a preview build for higher level patrons that adds the middle third of the next release to what I already shared on Patreon. I'll talk more about it in a post on here once it's ready, including a more detailed progress report on the entire Morning After Update.
But basically, I've had some health issues this year that, along with the complexity of coding this section, led to this extended delay. Things have much improved in the past several weeks on both fronts, thankfully. The full release will go into early access maybe a month from now, but I'm not sure yet.
i really like this story and ive tried filling up the gallary so yeah please -and no im not obsesed i just want to see more of such a good gay nsfw game
Hey, love the game. It would be amazing if there were a Discord server for the community to communicate with one another and possibly more frequent teasers/updates on the development? Keep up the good work!
Hey there, I'm glad you're loving the game. I haven't done a Discord server yet 'cause I don't really have time to moderate one currently. But I hope to do one someday for sure.
I think it would depend on who is approaching/flirting with Connor. I don't really plan to have anyone be possessive of him, but they might be annoyed if it's, like, their worst enemy trying to take their man.
Maybe Matt would be the most prone to jealousy just because he's used to being Connor's top priority, but honestly, that envy is often quickly replaced with arousal. He's thinking something like "Ugh, why is Connor spending all his time with his roommate and not me! Wait, maybe the three of us could hang out together... 😈"
Yup, there are several! Of the romance options, there are two - the PC's roommate, who is bi, and another guy who thinks he's straight but will eventually realize that's not entirely accurate.
With this being one of my favorite games on here. Thankfully I can play using the Joiplay app. You just add the .exe file, name it and the game works just fine on it.
Ok, but there's a catch, I did this, but I can't access the game because I have to install something, but I installed it and it doesn't work, could you tell me if it's supposed to only have the joyplay and the game file?
What was it asking you to install? Was it an extension in joiplay? It's been a long time since I installed the app I cant remember. I download the windows version of the game. Extract the zip file. Then add it to the .exe file to the app and name it.
Dude, never mind, I finally got it, I just had to install joiplay on an old version and install this "Ren'ply joiplay" to run it, now I'm going to play, thanks for the help.
Yup! You'll get the most "morning after" content with him if you made it all the way up to the makeout scene at the party. It can get sexual (but not a full hookup yet) depending on the new choices you make.
I've made y'all wait awhile for more Riley, so here's a non-canon CG I recently made for Patreon of him getting caught in a supply closet with NC17. Maybe it'll help tide us over a tiny bit 😉
I installed the game today, and I got to the part where Connor has sex with Leo, but then it ended after that. How do I install future updates? I am on a PC with Windows 11.
That is a point where the current version of the game ends. The game is in development and releases story updates episodically. The next release will continue on from that point as well as all of the other end points in the current version.
3 of the 10 romance guys have a full hookup so far - Marco, Alex, and Griffin. Owen has something I'd consider hookup-adjacent. Evan, Isaiah, and Riley can get to makeout scenes that have some erotic above-the-clothes stuff.
Matt doesn't have a hookup in the next update, but it can start getting sexual if you wake up at his apartment. It's kind of a tease, but I think a good one based on the reactions I've seen from those who have played it early.
Everything about this visual novel just hits so right for me. I'm truly having trouble finding the words to express how much I adore this story so far. I've downloaded quite a few mlm VN's and this is one of the only onesI've come across that feels like the story is being told for us queer men instead of just about us queer men. Hope I'm making sense!
The character dialogue is top tier, super engaging, and there's so many little changes to interactions and new dialogue to discover from jumping between routes that make any choice within the game feel natural and flow together! I also found myself going through routes multiple times to pick alternate dialogue choices I wouldn't normally because a lot of the new dialogue gives hints/insights into some of the characters based on the new dialogue or how the characters reacted with the new situation.The fact that you can learn a lot about the characters by paying attention to smaller details like how they talk about themselves (i.e Matt) and especially what they omit saying about themselves (i.e Owen) is a testament to the writing of the characters in of itself.
The sheer amount of CGs already in the game is ridiculously impressive, especially when you realize you're only a few in-game days into the story! The character models all look great, and you can feel all the attention to detail and hard work poured into each CG, from the poses/angles to the lighting. Also the fact that there's so much time and effort dedicated into creating various CGs to ensure that you can pick and choose Connor's preferences during hookups is appreciated so so much.
Had no choice but to create a Patreon account to support this VN. Cannot wait to see where the story takes us! Super excited for every single future update!
Wow, thank you for the incredibly kind comment! I do agree it's hard to find content about queer men that feels like we're part of the intended audience. I'm glad you feel this VN help fills that gap!
hello, i love the game, and love Alex the twink, it's a shame that Connor doesn't enter to the after party because he is not famaous, i love to see more of Connor and Alex, also i love to see Connor and NC-17

Is there a walkthrough to get all of the spicy scenes so far?
I haven't had a chance to write an official one yet, but there is an unofficial one here:

If there are any specific scenes/CGs you can't find after checking those, you can let me know which ones and I can give you steps to find them.
Oh my god, you are a life saver! Thank you!
When are we getting a new character added to Grind'm? And do we already know who that character will be?
The next Grind'm scenario will be in the update following the Morning After Update, which is the update I'm finishing up now. The guy voted to be featured is Trevor, NC17's twin brother.
when will new version update here??
PLZ!
No firm date yet. Hopefully early access soon, then the free update in November.

I keep forgetting, but is there a discord for this VN by chance? I know I asked on twitter like years ago lol
No, I don't have a Discord yet, mostly because I don't really have time to moderate one. It's something I'd like to set up down the line, though.
hey freshmen,
is this supposed to be a silent game? are sounds being added at a later date?
There is no audio in the game yet. I want to add SFX/music at some point, but it was put on the backburner because at the time I looked into it, I couldn't find a source of royalty-free sounds/music that allows its tracks to be used in an adult entertainment product.
I suppose that's only because they don't know how adorable this game is

Hi after Matts hangouts I'm missing some CGS but the game ends there saying to be continued... So is there a way to get those CGS or are they there for a future update?
You can check this link for current available scenario
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o6VFK12N3ZITRa6Ln3ZJA0IBT5E6vHG2QCVBebPK...
I tried using it but I never get to day "3" (Morning After) Story, After the Hangout event it ends there but I'm still missing CG 13 to 22, meaning I don't get the morning after event of the Story
The Morning After Update hasn't been released yet, so the CGs coming in that update aren't in the version of the game you're playing.
The ones you're missing can be found by doing the following:
You might be missing the ones you get from an alternate path. If you haven't gone to the club and hung out with the bartender, Griffin, he unlocks a bunch of Matt CGs.
Looks great! Just to confirm, from which subsccription is the morning after available
Senior & Graduate patrons have access to the early dev build of the Morning After Update. When it's entirely finished and goes into early access, Juniors, Seniors, & Graduates get it 4 weeks early, and Sophomores 3 weeks early.
One of THE BEST visual novels i've ever played!!
its amazing how many stroy lines there are already and we are still in act 1! you can see how much love and pasion went into developing this!
Cant wait to continue the story!
So sorry I missed this - I didn't get a notification for some reason. Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Handling all the story threads can be very complicated, which is part of why the next update is taking so long - it follows up on every ending and all the variant choices that led up to them. But I'm pretty close to done with the part that references all the events, and I think the amount of reactivity will have been worth the effort 🙂
in the next update can you please add guild line to those locked gallery, iam a little bit lost and have no idea when or what choice i had to make to unlock them T___T. Love your work!
Here is an unofficial guide that fans are running.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o6VFK12N3ZITRa6Ln3ZJA0IBT5E6vHG2QCVBebPK...
I want to write a guide, but making the game has been top priority, so it'll have to wait. When I have time to fit it in, I will, especially since it's gonna become more difficult to unlock some of the upcoming CGs. The unofficial guide that was already linked is a good source for now, though!
yoo i stopped at the part when marco and conor are in the dorms at night but then the game ends. how do i do to still keep playing? like help😭😭😭
Thats in the next update. The dev said that it would be out around september/october
guess ill wait then, tyyy for reply
No problem :)
Sorry I missed your message, I'm glad Lionah already followed up! But just to confirm, hopefully September/October for the release. There are many, many ways to interact with Marco depending on the choices you made, so you'll definitely have content with him in the new update 🙂
I have a question for Android joyplay players, which version of joyplay should I use? And which version of Ren'ply joyplay does it have to be?
when will the new update be ready for patreon fans? It has been so long and still nothing...
I know everyone's been waiting patiently, and I'm definitely sorry for how long it's been. Really all I can say is that I'm working on it as fast as I can and devote the majority of every day to it. It's just one of those things where 1 task gets done and then I realize there are 10 more I didn't anticipate.

I am curious regarding Patreon. So is this forever patreon only content "Monthly patron-only NSFW gallery featuring a selection of guys"?
If you mean will they always be Patreon-only, I do plan to keep them exclusive. If you mean do patrons have access to all galleries that are available to their patron level, they do, going back to the first one I made in February 2022. As of today that's a total of 58 galleries containing 487 CGs across them.
So that's 29 Guy Galleries for Sophomores and up that have different themes and highlight different guys, and 29 Bonus Galleries for Juniors and up that show a hookup scenario featuring 2 or more of the guys from that month's Guy Gallery. Guy Galleries usually have 6 images, though I sometimes up the count; this past April had 12 images, for example. Bonus Galleries have 9 - 11 CGs.
Here's a sample from last month. Matt, Marco, & Wes represented indigo for the rainbow Pride flag-inspired Guy Gallery; the two artists showed at an exhibit with Matt as their muse:
They won the vote for the Bonus Gallery hookup. Here's one of the CGs from that set:
when do you think next update is gonna be ready
I'll have a dev build soon, which is a preview build for higher level patrons that adds the middle third of the next release to what I already shared on Patreon. I'll talk more about it in a post on here once it's ready, including a more detailed progress report on the entire Morning After Update.

omg im sorry to hear please no rush i hope you feel happy doing this and not forced to
Oh, I'm happy making this, I definitely don't feel forced! I appreciate the kind thoughts, though 🙂
I was never so exited for a game to drop their next update like this game. You're doing such an amazing job with this, keep up the good work! :))
Thank you so much 🙂
Hope there will be an Android version
love the game any chance of a sexy tease?
i really like this story and ive tried filling up the gallary so yeah please -and no im not obsesed i just want to see more of such a good gay nsfw game
I might have something from the next update I could share as a tease. Who are your favorite guys?
connor and evan there hoand cute
A romance path is being added for Evan. They were too adorable together not to do it. Here's something a little on the spicy side I haven't shown yet:
Here's a preview of a sweeter moment that you may have missed:
And just 'cause I'm feeling generous, a CG I made for Patreon of Evan being both spicy and sweet:
damm i actualy love youre work and thanks your hyping me up sooo much for the next update hope its soon
really wish the Android version could be provided T__T
Hey, love the game. It would be amazing if there were a Discord server for the community to communicate with one another and possibly more frequent teasers/updates on the development? Keep up the good work!
Hey there, I'm glad you're loving the game. I haven't done a Discord server yet 'cause I don't really have time to moderate one currently. But I hope to do one someday for sure.
Will there be a chance to have a threesome route?
There will be opportunities to have group hookups, but romances will only be couples, so no throuples or anything.
Any news about the next update.....?
Still working on it. I'll have a public update on its status soon-ish.
Hope there will be an Android version
Any plans for Android version? 😁
Yes, I will do one in the future, I just don't know when that'll be yet.
When is the new update releasing? Can't wait to see Connor finally interacting witch Will's ass lol
No ETA as of yet, but I'm working on it!
Out of all the romance options which ones would you be the most jealous of Connor getting approached/flirted by other men ?
I think it would depend on who is approaching/flirting with Connor. I don't really plan to have anyone be possessive of him, but they might be annoyed if it's, like, their worst enemy trying to take their man.
Maybe Matt would be the most prone to jealousy just because he's used to being Connor's top priority, but honestly, that envy is often quickly replaced with arousal. He's thinking something like "Ugh, why is Connor spending all his time with his roommate and not me! Wait, maybe the three of us could hang out together... 😈"
That's sounds super cool+ plus Matt getting jealous I'm so here for that !
Are there any bisexual/pansexual guys in the game (asking out of curiosity) ?
Yup, there are several! Of the romance options, there are two - the PC's roommate, who is bi, and another guy who thinks he's straight but will eventually realize that's not entirely accurate.
I just wanted to know when it will be released for Android, or if there is a way to play it on Android.
There's no Android version yet. I plan to do one in the future, though I don't know when that'll be.
There are some comments below that explain ways to play on Android now, but I haven't tried any of them and can't vouch for them.
With this being one of my favorite games on here. Thankfully I can play using the Joiplay app. You just add the .exe file, name it and the game works just fine on it.
Ok, but there's a catch, I did this, but I can't access the game because I have to install something, but I installed it and it doesn't work, could you tell me if it's supposed to only have the joyplay and the game file?
What was it asking you to install? Was it an extension in joiplay? It's been a long time since I installed the app I cant remember. I download the windows version of the game. Extract the zip file. Then add it to the .exe file to the app and name it.
Dude, never mind, I finally got it, I just had to install joiplay on an old version and install this "Ren'ply joiplay" to run it, now I'm going to play, thanks for the help.
No worries lol enjoy :)
android please?
I will do an Android port in the future but don't currently have an ETA.
Ah thank to answer hehehe
Is the next update finally continuing rileys story
Yup! You'll get the most "morning after" content with him if you made it all the way up to the makeout scene at the party. It can get sexual (but not a full hookup yet) depending on the new choices you make.
I've made y'all wait awhile for more Riley, so here's a non-canon CG I recently made for Patreon of him getting caught in a supply closet with NC17. Maybe it'll help tide us over a tiny bit 😉
I installed the game today, and I got to the part where Connor has sex with Leo, but then it ended after that. How do I install future updates? I am on a PC with Windows 11.
That is a point where the current version of the game ends. The game is in development and releases story updates episodically. The next release will continue on from that point as well as all of the other end points in the current version.
Just start over again, there are a lot more boys, ehm, I mean storylines, to explore....
Do we know when the next update is coming out?
No release date yet.
Who are the romanceable guys I can already sleep with at this point in the game ? Matt isn't an option yet from what I read below.
3 of the 10 romance guys have a full hookup so far - Marco, Alex, and Griffin. Owen has something I'd consider hookup-adjacent. Evan, Isaiah, and Riley can get to makeout scenes that have some erotic above-the-clothes stuff.
Matt doesn't have a hookup in the next update, but it can start getting sexual if you wake up at his apartment. It's kind of a tease, but I think a good one based on the reactions I've seen from those who have played it early.
Is it possible to choose if you want to top or bottom or is sexual role are already set
You can choose your position, I don't lock the player into a specific role.
Thx u for making the game and replying 👍
Everything about this visual novel just hits so right for me. I'm truly having trouble finding the words to express how much I adore this story so far. I've downloaded quite a few mlm VN's and this is one of the only ones I've come across that feels like the story is being told for us queer men instead of just about us queer men. Hope I'm making sense!
The character dialogue is top tier, super engaging, and there's so many little changes to interactions and new dialogue to discover from jumping between routes that make any choice within the game feel natural and flow together! I also found myself going through routes multiple times to pick alternate dialogue choices I wouldn't normally because a lot of the new dialogue gives hints/insights into some of the characters based on the new dialogue or how the characters reacted with the new situation. The fact that you can learn a lot about the characters by paying attention to smaller details like how they talk about themselves (i.e Matt) and especially what they omit saying about themselves (i.e Owen) is a testament to the writing of the characters in of itself.
The sheer amount of CGs already in the game is ridiculously impressive, especially when you realize you're only a few in-game days into the story! The character models all look great, and you can feel all the attention to detail and hard work poured into each CG, from the poses/angles to the lighting. Also the fact that there's so much time and effort dedicated into creating various CGs to ensure that you can pick and choose Connor's preferences during hookups is appreciated so so much.
Had no choice but to create a Patreon account to support this VN. Cannot wait to see where the story takes us! Super excited for every single future update!
Wow, thank you for the incredibly kind comment! I do agree it's hard to find content about queer men that feels like we're part of the intended audience. I'm glad you feel this VN help fills that gap!
hello, i love the game, and love Alex the twink, it's a shame that Connor doesn't enter to the after party because he is not famaous, i love to see more of Connor and Alex, also i love to see Connor and NC-17
Greetings from Mexico
I'm glad you're enjoying it! And yeah, not being allowed in to the private party was a bummer, but you'll definitely see more of Alex. NC17 as well 🙂
