Hello everyone.

I've discovered this wonderful game only a week ago and I've spent hours on it!!! I definitely love it!!!

I ended up with "no boy friend" quite a bunch of times.

I managed to end up with Dan, Jake and Carlos on easy mode.

I've not tried regurlar mode with them.

James was a lot tricky but I succeeded in becoming his husband both in regurlar and easy mode.

Adam's route was tough (even though it was easy mode) and I've got to admit that I cheated a little (a lot?) with all tips I could find.

By the way, is there a route for Adam in regurlar mode ?

Is there also a list of all 333 collectibles ? I'm still missing some and a list might be helpful to know where to look for.

I definitely LOVED the James story.

Went right to my heart!

I wish I had such a wonderful love story in real life.

A little sad for the Eliott ending.

I've got to admit that when I played the game for the first time (I didn't know which guys could be dated or not), Eliott was in my most wanted-list. I've tried to find a route to him several times before finding out he could not be dated. Sob sob :-(

I was somehow glad to find I could spend some good time with him via the Dan route.

Thanks for such a wonderful game.

I still have a choices to explore.

:-)

Is the sequel already finished and available ?

Thanks again,

Will

PS: I've made my own screen saver with a home made picture (pool day for the back ground) with all the guys standing next to each other, naked and erect lol (except Nikhil who can only be seen soft). And yes, James looks huge compared to the others... And Carlos stands on the shorter side ;-) ... But as someone would say, size matters not lol

Hi, and thanks for your comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game. (I'm not sure how much of a newbie you are anymore if you've completed all the routes!)

Adam's route is doable in normal mode, but there isn't anything extra you get from normal vs easy mode, so there's not really a reason to redo it.

There's a list of collectables in the behind-the-scenes book, available for a $15 donation. There's tips for some of the harder ones here, but I'd prefer to keep an outright spoiler list of them as a bit of a premium thing, since the game is otherwise free: https://itch.io/t/928910/collectibles

The sequel can be preordered now, the demo is free to play, and there's an alpha build you can get access to after preordering, but the game isn't quite finished yet: https://bobcgames.itch.io/zags

Thanks :-)

Behind the scenes book ordered :-)

Have a very nice day :-)

Thank you for your support!

Still spending hours on the game and try all the routes I can...

I also try to find all the collectibles without looking at the behind-the-scenes book (for the moment).

I'll have a look only if I feel desperate.

Still missing 28 of them.

I also try all the reach all achievements.

The hardest one so far was parting ways with James.

I just didn't want that to happen.

I was tough to play and really heartbreaking.

Couldn't even prevent some tears.

YAGS is really a powerful and wonderful game!

Again, thanks so much for creating this amazing game.

I'll give you the same offer I gave the last person who went for all the collectables: If you get all 333 of them, I'll happily mail you some YAGS stickers to celebrate. Just post a screenshot and email me at bobcgames(at)gmail.com with a mailing address. :)

I'm glad you're still enjoying the game!

(If you're down to like 5 or so that you're missing, let me know, and I can also offer more explicit hints on how to get them.)

~~Five~~ [Edit : Four] missing collectibles... And one missing achievement.

Getting to it.

The "soccer ball" one was tough!!!

Missing one are:

1) Campus Map Piece 1

2) Golden Pendant [Edit : Managed to get it on my phone but can no longer find it on PC version]

3) Cross Sticker

4) Black Plastic Ring [Edit : Managed to get it on my phone but can no longer find it on PC version]

~~5) Green Friendship Bracelet~~

And the missing Achievement is Parting Ways with Dan. [Edit : Managed to get it on my phone but can no longer do it on PC version]

It seems, whatever I do after starting to date him, he never wants to give up on me lol

I try to ignore him and spend the least time with him, but whatever I do, I end up having sex with him and Nate...

And he stays with me at the end.

I guess he's in love lol.

Some more hours of searching and I hope I'll complete the game :-)

Oops, sorry! I missed this (itch didn't notify me about a reply)

For Dan's bad ending, it's easier if you play on normal (rather than easy) mode. Tell Janet at the beginning that you *don't* like threesomes, and generally be clingy and pressure him to be monogamous once you're dating

Campus Map Piece 1 is obtained on October 8; you have to be dating Carlos, you have to have explored campus on August 26, and you have to go running with him in the morning

Golden Pendant is when you are going down James route but he doesn't like you enough to start dating... put the game on normal mode and don't trigger the "special" James scenes (don't explore campus on August 26, don't catch him on IM September 23 when he asks you to go over); you'll get it on October 13

Cross Sticker is obtained October 27 if you're dating Dan and you give him responses that suggest you don't want sex (I guess we could do that, Was thinking more the sex part). You'll watch Bad Education together instead of having sex after dinner

Black Plastic Ring is obtained for breaking up with Dan at the end of the game, so you'll get it once you get the achievement

Thanks so much :-)

I know what I'll be doing in the next three days :-D

EDIT :

* For the Campus Map 1, my major mistake was indeed not to explore campus on August 26 :-) That's amazing to see how one little change in a course of events can affect the path of the story.

COLLECTIBLE FOUND

* For the Golden Pendant, my mistake was always sept 23rd. I probably made it right (by mistake lol) when I played on my phone. That one was really tricky.

COLLECTIBLE FOUND.

Two more to go :-)

Have a wonderful day

EDIT 2 : Parting ways with Dan was really not easy.

You have to find the perfect balance between being liked by him to be his boyfriend, and yet not enough to have a lasting relationship.

Had to do it again and again and again... And that's it :-)

Done!

One last collectible to find. Seems to be the hardest one to get.

But I'll get it! Even if I have to spend days doing it all over again lol

EDIT 3 : Hurrrrrayyyyyyyyy !!!!! Found it !!!!!

My main mistake was when Dan and I talk on Campus on Oct 27th.

I had always gone for the Pizza or being walked in on while doing it!

Major mistake!!!

All collectibles found and all achievements reached :-)

Yet, I'm quite sure there are some choices I didn't take here and there and that I might discover some time.

But I guess time has come now to try ZAGS :-)

(*** so happy mood ***)

Will

LAST EDIT : ZAGS pre-ordered :-)
