Can we expect more plot twist in the coming update to path A?
"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of characters? The author knows! Mwaaah haaah haaah haaah!"

Loved those types of shows. They have some "radio shows" on Youtube, some were Twilight Zone episodes turned into radio plays you can listen to.

Rich, are you convinced that distinct paths deserve to be their own games?
You are misunderstanding me. This project has a single choice that the player makes in Chapter 9. So, what started as a pure kinetic novel then branches into what I refer to as the "a" path and "b" path. The "b" path portion of this project has been completed - if you choose that particular option, you can go all the way to the end of that option. If you choose the other option, the content down that branch is not complete.

So, there's only one "Family, Friends and Strangers" game - it just has two separate story lines after Chapter 9. One complete, one not.

Thanks! More chapters yet to come.
Hey Rich, how's the update coming along? I know you're not keen on spoilers but please tell me Parker blackmails Momma Bear and makes her his personal pleasure toy :love:(y)

Hey Rich, how's the update coming along?
Not as quickly as I would like. Rendering hardware issues. Hopefully that will all be resolved in about a week, however, and I'll be able to get back to banging out images. In the meantime, I've been spending the time "writing ahead" on both FF&S as well on new items for STDH.

Your first seven words are correct. FAQ #4.

Oh, and folks, I want to do a major shout-out.

When he heard I was having hardware issues, MrKnobb (developer of Alternate Existence and Retrieving The Past) contacted me on Discord and volunteered to render images for me to keep FF&S moving along. It was an amazingly generous offer.

Unfortunately, I couldn't take him up on it, since with my main system down I can't even build the scene files. I can't check the lighting without being able to use iRay, and many of you know that iRay is almost unusable on a system without a GPU.

Still, I wanted to publicly thank him for his generous offer. If you haven't checked out his games, you might give them a try, and, if you like them, please strongly consider supporting him on Patreon. (You might even find a small Easter egg in one of them... :D )

What a nice gesture I was already a fan of his games now knowing that. both Dev's do a great job on their games and "Rico" wish you luck. :coffee:
