Ren'Py Family, Friends and Strangers [v2024.10] [JohnAndRich]

[desmosome]

Everything was believable to a degree so far, but Parker's reaction to the pictures doesn't really make sense. He has all the information at this point about what the cops are doing and what his mom is going through, the first assumption should obviously be that the sender is the cops and that they are making his GF do stuff.

Not really complaining since it seems like a necessary event to steer the story into the direction the dev wants for this route. I wonder if there was another way to create this rift that is more believable though.

 

[BadmanBaxter]

Any reason why only path B got an update. I haven't been on this thread in a while and wondered if there was a specific reason or if I am gonna get some upsetting news that path A is discontinued or something.

Someone getting molested in the streets, especially in a western country and by cops no less!! This would be an international story and those cops would never see the light of day again

Very unrealistic and immersion-breaking!

Not saying it would go down in the middle of the street with lots of people watching, but there have always been corrupt cops who take advantage - especially in small town USA. In the 60's, most kids growing up in small towns were taught never to question authority - and if something did happen, it was swept under the rug because no one wanted to be part of a scandal.

Love this game, hope they're making some money with it. No interactivity but well made. Characters don't look like clones we've seen elsewhere. Very nice.

 

[malrayo]

So...no Melissa content in this update?

Well, meaby one or two more situations corrupting becky could have been developed and then show Parker the pics so that way parker would be under the assumption that this is as far as Becky has gone. I could go as far as say you could even extend it more if the cops blurr the background and mossaic her face and he enters in denial which would lead to a longer game. Meaby we can have an 11C branch?

 

[AlfredBundy4]

Fine game and I love the Becky corruption stuff but this update was kind of useless. Could have just worked for a bit longer, added more and had that as the update. This takes about 5 mins from where the last left off and that's with reading everything, etc. Maybe 10 min and it's not like it updates every couple weeks.

All that time between updates and still . No wonder you still barely have support. Nothing seems to be improving

I can understand that not everyone likes the same thing, but then can't you at least express constructive criticism in your comment, instead of writing something dumb like that? Reads like a comment that tries to provoke people who like the game to jump on your comment, that's total unnecessary. This story is not for everyone, you can read this on the front page. The best thing to do is, to look for another game that you like better and let the developer work in peace, it's his project after all.

And the thing with the lack of support. There enough people who like the game and not all good games here get the best possible financial support, unlike others who do not deserve this support, for example because their developers only milk the supporters and brings excuses over excuses and delays and no or hardly any updates and if so then with little content. Rich does his job very well and as I know him he will continue to do it.

i've seen kinetic novel, but there is some of it that has multiple endings. is this game will have it?
also, is this game NTR focused game? i don't ask if we can avoid NTR but the plot make me curious

The game looks amazing at the screenshot and all woman are beautiful. Make me want to play the game eventhough there are bad comment in the thread. I think DEV doin great job LOL

 

[megaplayboy10k]

Mom should have lawyered up AND told her husband ASAP. Then the lawyer hires a PI to go through old arrests and files to find out if the cops have done this before. Gets mom and son to wire up, then they go to Internal Affairs and the DA. Cops get fired and sued and go to jail for a while.

 

[aunkub11]

Will ... Mom'mc fuck with carl ?
next time ?

Your comment is unconstructive, callous and makes no sense, base on what you say the success of the game depends on how much monetary compensation it has. I would rather defer from that train of though and say that the lack of monetary support put an spotlight on the love he has for the craft. As far as I have seen so far he is someone that is putting out of his time for the love of the thing he is doing and answering questions on different threats regarding daz studio to help other creators. Im not saying he do not deserve compensation for it, far from it, however he is clearly not trying to milk people and at least as far as I have seen, he is attempting to make a good game within his own limitations.

 

[oopsoops]

Interesting plot twist, I got a feeling 11b is just a build up for something really big. But agree with some comments that we could have enjoyed Becky's a bit more before moving on with the plot.

 

[oopsoops]

ok i will give it a shot
Also the OP mentions its a kinetic novel with no choices but reading a few post above there seems to be a path A and B.
Is the choice clear enough or is the path decided on some hidden and not so obvious choices?

it will be a clear choice at chapter 10.
Dev seems to have thought about the plot and character arc, so it won't be the typical NTR story.

 

[Guru1987]

Is there any need to start a new game by chance? Because if I load the save it ends here and no chapter 11 starts

 

[Canto Forte]

Yeah ,, gamers need to read a couple a pages and wise up before gaming it seems.

Yes because update say 11B! So why you except to continue it from 10A? There is no any file for A route! I really "love" those peoples...

It work's fine. But it's a half update, so it's a different path in Chapter 9 choice.

1) ch9 -> choose "I'm in!" -> ch10a -> Same as version 10.0
2) ch9 -> choose "Fuck You!" -> ch10b -> ch11b

Newly updated gallery has bugs with incorrect scenes.

Is there any need to start a new game by chance? Because if I load the save it ends here and no chapter 11 starts

here is my unofficial android port of Family, Friends And Strangers v11.0-path-b.

• Download

Spoiler: touch screen usage

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

from now on my android ports of Ren'Py games have a 2nd, persistent save location like windows. if you uninstall an app, the save files and persistent data remain intact.
therefore the app needs the permission to access the public external storage (or a new one on Android 11 ), because it has to read and write outside its own external storage directories.
you have to grant the permission or the app is shut down.

have fun and please report problems (you can reach me

The port is good, but the touch gestures leave a bit to be desired.

After hiding the quick menu by accident I actually had to reinstall the entire game to make it come back. I couldn't make the game menu or quick menu gesture work.

The 'game menu' gesture didn't work for me either as mentioned. If the command was changed to 'swipe up' it would be easier.

Thank you regardless. It worked well when I avoided the hide 'hide ui' gesture.

Latest version of the game ends at chapter 10a, like the previous one. How to unlock new chapters?

Spoiler: No progress

You have to select "Fuck No" in chapter 9. Literally the only choice in the game - I made a save point - and then went back to that and tried the other route.

 

[BadmanBaxter]

I am wondering why path A didn't get updated though?
