COMING OUT ON TOP

You are Mark Matthews, a college senior who just came out to his best friends.
You're hitting the gay dating scene for the first time in your life.
Before you know it, you've met a hot guy who wants your number.
Unfortunately, things are about to get complicated.

Will you be able to make the right decisions and come out on top?


08/1/2013-Latest update for the game can be found here.

11/26/2012-The demo is out and the Kickstarter is up. As many of you know, the old demo has had its art completely redone and it is now an 18+ game.

Thanks and I appreciate your interest!

Hello Obscura i have a problem. When i start the game i get a error, Im uploading whis error i get, How can i fix this?

[Destiny]

Yep, I have the same error Q__Q
Something in line 11 makes at least the Win-Version unable to start (more then the logo isn't happening).

[Veniae]

Shit, was just about to download it. ;-;

In any case, congrats on the release! I'm looking forward to playing it, and I bet it'll be great!

Congrats on completing your first VN! I've downloaded this and will try to get to it sometime this week. I did open the game once to see if I'd get the same error as everyone else, but nothing happened in the Mac version. :0

[Obscura]

Hmmm...I better see what's up? How strange I'm able to download and play this?!?!

Sorry guys...working on it right now!

[Destiny]

O____O
Hahaha, ok, I just now tried it again.
The error came up, I clicked on "Ignore", tada, everything is fine :'D

Gonna test it now
So just put it online again and say, they should click on ignore

EDIT:
Aaaaaaaaah, sweaty men <3
Bwahahahaha, made my day :'D

[Obscura]

Ok...feeling bad about the bug, guys. Apologies. I took out what I think was the problem (splash screen integration?). This version doesn't have a splash screen. If there are still problems...I guess I'll put this back in Beta.

[Veniae]

Oh, don't worry about it! It's normal... or at least, it happened with my demo release. So yeah, as long as you provide a playable version, it's all fine xD

[teacup]

Congratulations Obscura! I can't wait to play this tonight, as I really enjoyed the demo~

[Michiyo6918]

Congratulation there, Obscura! Finally this day has come~ (I've stalked you for a long time already )

I'm going to play this when my sister's gone and give you my feedback later!

[Destiny]

Who, and theeeeere go two hours of playing
Nice game!

Even though my head hurts a little from the anatomy words xD

So here come a few critique:
- The sprites look great, love especially the °__° looks from Penny and Ian xD
- The music is ok, sometimes a bit too aggressive, but one gets used to it.
- No obvious spelling errors, congratz
- The drama towards the end was great, especially since it had reasons instead of simple "Make it dramatic, how about someone randomly running amok"
- LOVE the apps! Fistbump!!
- I understand your concerns about the language now totally, I sometimes had to grin with a dirty smile while reading :'D

Just a few things:

Tell me the truth, will Edwina and Ian be happily ever after?! Q__Q

xD

And I'm having a major problem:
You do not have a wall of text but a wall of choices there :'D
I said so in the demo, even though I found / and even now find it hilarious.
BUT I'm just not getting the first ending o.o
When there are like five choices, two almost identical from the feeling, how am I supposed to know which gives me that one point that could be missing at the end for him to like me? xD"


But except from that, great game!
Congratulations on releasing it again!
It was awesome for a first game :3

[Obscura]

@ Destiny

Aw yeah! Thanks for your mighty helpful review!
Yeah, I usually turn off the music in every video game I play, so I didn't really know what was appropriate for a VN. Because everything sounds very noisy to me... but I understand what you're saying.

About the endings:

The third ending you get only if you get a high relationship rating with Alex. I believe the "point box" should come up after you've finished the game and gotten one of the main endings. You don't have to have a perfect score, but a pretty high one.
Here's a clue: Alex likes mature, nice guys. (i.e., doesn't drink girly drinks...lol) In the very last office scene, did you kiss him or no? What would a mature guy have done? Just because Alex likes something doesn't mean he thinks it's relationship material. Hopefully you'll get the right ending...let me know if you're still having problems or if the blue relationship box doesn't come up.

Just a few things:

Tell me the truth, will Edwina and Ian be happily ever after?! Q__Q

xD

Hahaha...if I expand the game Ian will definitely have a relationship. Not saying with who.

Love ya, babe. Thanks again for your feedback. Let me know if you have any more problems.
