So a Dev can be responsible for someone making a mod to his game and uploading to a different page than patreon? Am I understanding this right? If so thats the biggest BS I have seen in a while!
Serious this is nonsense. Let's imagine I bought a car. A friend make me tuning. The car is already my property and I can do what I want with it. A friend has a legal workshop and is responsible for what he does in it. Someone attached to tuning. A car producing factory was punished.

Yes. A dev is held responsible if a 3rd party makes a certain type of mod. It's ridiculous. All it takes is for one fuckin retard to report to Patreon and the dev is fucked. It's then up to the dev to prove otherwise. It's a huge hassle. But sometimes proving it doesn't matter.
How do you even prove that it was not you which released some patch ?
But yeah, Patreon is ridiculous with their bs and arbitrary decisions, which just gets ever worse...

Damn! That's crazy ... but explains why a lot of Devs have been giving it up on Patreon.

yes by patreon's rules (read credit card companies) and even if there's hint of incest then patreon whams ban-hammer. patreon wants access to discord too. renpy is easy to code (incl. patches and mods) that's why it's so popular, downside is that any1 who can code a bit can make patches etc for game or add malware on it (there have been "few" cases of that).

yes it is bs but they can make it, 1st step was taken years ago when patreon banned incest and current situation is result of that.

I seriously hope this game isn't completely abandoned because it has a really good story, and the models are hot especially the lawyer chick was hoping to bed her guess that's not going to be happening now oh well.
we'll see, they got patreon page back just recently.

Damn! That's crazy ... but explains why a lot of Devs have been giving it up on Patreon.
yes and yes. mmc fucks with older woman then like i said it can be easily patched as son and mother sex and then patreon throws a fit punishes dev even if he/she didn't do anything, same thing with fmc fucking older guy, with little patch it's incest sex and again dev faces consequences.

Have not kept track of this one for a bit. Was hoping this would be finished eventually. Really wanted to see where the relationship with the milf went.

I also hope this one gets a proper ending, would really like to see what's in store with Tiffany and the others. Although, I have to admit I haven't played yet chapter 7, but with the "abandoned" tag I fear there will be some issues that remain unresolved at the end of the last chapter.

Okay, here's to hoping that at some point there will be an epilogue or at least the Part 2 of chapter 7. I finished the game yesterday and you can imagine my disappointment that there was only Part 1 of chapter 7 when I was hoping it would be a long chapter with two parts.

On another note, is it correct that the choice with whom to go on a date on Saturday night does not affect the later events too much? I tried to go on a date with Tiff, Erika and Mariya
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
. So, it's more the choices increasing either lust or love that lead to different scenes? I'm playing with the mod and didn't quite understand whether the love and lust points are added accumulatively to the MC's profile or only related to the specific LI he is interacting with.
And is there no scene gallery? The AVN's gallery only contains a strange mix of photos. And should there be anything under "Extras" in the main menu? The button doesn't work for me, there's nothing behind it (I hope no one else has already asked this).

You have to get used to this. Too many good matches have been dropped.

Far-Off Friends Version 8 Transparency
New
28 minutes ago
Far-off Friends v8 has finally been released! Thanks for your patience and we're incredibly sorry for the delay.
Now, some transparency—because it's important. Last September, just two days before the release of FoF v7, our Patreon account was banned. The reasons were trivial, but what matters is that we managed to get it back around mid-January. Thank God for that.
The delay wasn’t caused solely by this, but it had a significant impact overall. Without Patreon, we had to prioritize other things in real life over the game. It sucks, but that’s how life goes.
Things got even worse when our SubscribeStar was also banned, but fortunately, we managed to recover both accounts around the same time.
At least we had itch to keep things afloat until we landed back on our feet.
Now, for the actual content of the update:
As you guys know, this second part of the update is longer than that of a regular update.
For this release, we decided to animate most—if not all—of the sex scenes. It was a lot of work and took much more time than expected, but we’re happy with the results.
Turns out animations are really fun to make—but not so fun to render.
Some other content has also been updated:
The Prologue and Chapter 1 were revised. Early mistakes were fixed, and some details were adjusted.
I also removed some references to other games, especially those from Waifu Academy, as they lost their relevance after Chapter 1.
Redundant phrases, awkward sentences, and poorly constructed dialogue have been refined, and we’ll continue improving things over time.
I rewrote parts of the main storyline, slightly tweaking some character personalities. The most significant change was to Mariya—not a major overhaul, just enough to make her feel like an actual character rather than an Asian stereotype.
The other five main characters—Melissa, Stacy, Erika, Tiffany, and Sarah—remain largely unchanged.
About the soundtrack:
After some discussions, we decided to remove certain songs. While all the music in the game is either copyright-free or karaoke versions (I'm looking at you, Space Oddity), some companies don’t want their music associated with adult games. With that in mind, we’ve dropped those tracks for now and are looking for a long-term solution.
No, AI-generated music is not on the table.
For now, we have three original tracks by Skye Jordan, but we’ll see what we can do going forward.
As for sound effects, we’re keeping them, but we’ll be more selective.
And yes, as much as I love the orgasm sounds from The Visit by Stiglet (anyone who played that game knows how cringe they are, which is exactly why they became fantastic later on), I understand they’re not for everyone.
So, we’ll be following a specific approach for sound selection. Apologies for any inconvenience.
After this update, we aim to return to our regular development cycle of around two months.
If any further delays occur, we’ll let you know in advance. As always, we thank you for your patience, understanding and support.

So I presume it should go without saying a Restart is advised?.
Because even though it should go without saying some people need it saying.
Just Saying :devilish: :devilish: :devilish:.

Ironically, I couldn't start a new game because the first screen was bugged and crashed the game. Loaded up my save from ch 7 just fine though lol
