VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [Ch.1 Remake v0.25] [NeonGhosts]

[PHIL101-YYouPPHard]

> Yep, not a fan of the Pepper camgirl cop out. I understand it was already planned this way... but I so wanted to see an actual good take on a camgirl love interest. (very rarely do) I really think Neon could have nailed it.

I feel you. But, given that they're twins which is a very common VN sex trope with universally understood expectations here, and given that players have probably already gotten used to the idea of having fun with Sapphire cam girl, who they thought was Pepper, I think Neon will throw us a bone on that, personally. Don't know if she will be a main LI alongside Pepper, but surely there will be opportunities involved there.

Don't want to trip up too much on something that may not happen, but it's even possible she's a secret main LI. Because if she would've been put up on that front page poster or mentioned as another main LI, it would've spoiled the twin reveal. Since she's so intricately tied into Pepper's story, and given that identical siblings tend to have a lot in common (there can still be big differences ofc), and tend to hang out together a lot, I don't think it would be nearly as big of a workload as adding a totally separate LI would.

> Oh boy... Brent is finally here. Please tell me Guy doesn't end up looking like a complete jackass again at the beginning of the next update!

lmao, I bet you anything Guy is going to put into action that wrist lock he just learned. I think it's going to be pretty funny tbh. I can imagine it now: Guy's starting to lose (again!) against a younger man, until he's like "wait a minute, I just learned a get out of fight for free card" and just hearing Brent go "OW OW OW FUCK UNCLE UNCLE" or something

Pepper, Sapphire and Cherry triplets?

Might want to put that behind spoilers, just in case But I thought the same thing. Looks like the same model to me and she gave a clue that suggests as much.

played the update after a little break and ... that took a dark turn. While there were some topics like homelessness, prostitution etc. in previous episodes, I was very much put off by the drug den and associated porn. I am aware that these things exist but did not expect to be confronted with reality in a porn game. talk about buzzkill.

Concerning Risa and her father

Please keep up the great work, dev!

I think the problem with games like FiN is their expansive cast. Many girls to pick from but you have to wait for your fav.
Last year some bitched about Nikki bc she was the one getting content, now it's Risa turn and tomorrow it will be Mason.
Some people want a game all about Brittani or all about Gabby and don't care about the rest of the cast or the main story.
At the end of the day updates have to be contained to one or two girls or you get the usual 1 year of development cicle.
All that being said, Viola content when?

Next update most luckily for Viola

 

[Aaron Dragneel]

Any animation?

 

[Joshy92]

Risa has some serious daddy issues but considering who her father is I'm not surprised. But that doesn't really matter to me I still like her.
And I finally saw those texts from Mason the little tease and I'm getting hard just thinking about our playtime coming up.

True, it has been pointed several times. Usually this kind of games works better if they are 'fuck everyone, until you commit (or harem)', so you don't have to split too much the story, but neonghost has already told that he's going to proceed with his plans the way they are (and they sure are more narratively sound then bang everyone).

 

[PHIL101-YYouPPHard]

Bruh I meant any animation in this game ?

lol tbh I'm not sure what people consider an animation. If still images being repeatedly cycled counts as an animation, then yes. If not, then no.

every girl getting a rework like nicki so i can turn down all sex and still help when?!?

cant complain about girls not getting sexy content if no girl is getting sexy content

 

[Dessolos]

lol I think the update made me like Risa too much. I caught my self typing out Risa's name when I meant to type out a LI from another game entirely on the game's discord haha

 

[Naiton]

How do i install the patch with the android version?

Yes need Brittani and Viola content soon

 

[Dessolos]

Yes need Brittani and Viola content soon

I forget the timeline of events without a replay. But I'd bet Viola might be in the next 1 or at least the next in game day for the MC. As right before the Ashe date she accepted a job to be his maid. Granted I don't think they set up a schedule or a address where he lives. However it feels like it would be within Viola's character to just show up if she does know / find out where he lives or.

Koga3 has a patched port

Looks like the same model to me and she gave a clue that suggests as much.

- The three have the same eye colour;
- In one of Sapphire scenes we find out she works for someone and they yell at her and she ends the camshow abruptly. If we dig her background we also find out someone's covering her tracks and deleting her online info;
- Cherry asks for her sisters when she wakes up;
- Pepper got beaten by someone and is afraid of cops, she's also writing a story in her blog about a girl being controlled by a man who's turning her into something horrible and she can't do anything about it.

Doesn't seem like a coincidence, they're all caught up in Lucien's web. I also believe they might be a reference of the Radiant(don't know if you played it) triplets. In that game, the blonde twin is the slutty one(here the blonde is the camgirl), the brunette is the moody one (acts the same way as Pepper) and the redhead is the lovey dovey one (although here she's being held captive by psychos and we didn't get to know her properly)

Can you link that ? Dunno to browse 700 pages

True but the way the conversation is told gave me the impression that her guilt and conscience is a secondary reason and not all that important to her in why she is doing this. To me it really felt like she just wanted to help but that's all on our own personal interpretation anyways. As to me it doesn't come across selfish but it would to someone else

her suicide attempt shows that the guilt and conscience are not secondary at all. it was so much that she wanted to end it all. she was brought back and now the only way to get rid of the guilt is MC.

I just did a quick speed run through the game and discovered something new to me.
It turns out you can have sex with Risa twice this update first at the hotel and then at her house.

how did you miss that the first time ? you need to focus or you might miss Mason's content next update !

it's not reasonable at all, it's ultra toxic. he does all that against her will, she lost all freedom. even though she is an adult, 24 years old. he is just super controlling and obsessed with his reputation and image. you can't help an addict that doesn't decide themselves to get better. he doesn't even acknowledge that she is indeed getting better. he doesn't even love her for who she is. he wanted a very specific kind of kid. he might care about her in his own twisted way, but he only achieved the opposite of what he wanted. and he can't see that the issue is mostly himself. he only gets away with it because he is rich.
and he doesn't "err on the side of caution" about MC. he DEMANDS that MC stops seeing his daughter and threatens/insults him. he has access to very detailed information about MC, so he KNOWS that MC doesn't do drugs and doesn't provide her with drugs. he only wants her daughter to avoid associating with a guy that came from poor origins.
MC runs a charity, helps people, he is known for it. Risa's dad is not known for his charity, except to reduce his taxes... he runs hotels and real estate businesses, all for profit. the compound he "built" is just his elitist fantasy there is no vision, it's just class discrimination.

at that time yes it was about her guilt and conscience first and foremost. However in the present time my interpretation is that it is secondary for her because stopping Lucien and helping the other girls comes first . Just like I said in my last post it's a matter of our own personal interpretation. To me the conversation she had with Guy made it seem like her guilt and conscience didn't matter as much as stopping Lucien and help the other girls , which is why to me personally she doesn't come across selfish. But yeah it's always going to be part of the reason why just to me it isn't the biggest part / reason why she is doing what is doing. But I do understand why it would be the opposite for others / how it comes across she is doing it more because she feels guilty..

 

[KryperCreeping]

As a bimbofication fan, the Nikki bimbo transformation in the mini-sode was a thing of beauty.

Probably was just for the scene, but a fully corrupted Nikki going full blonde bimbo and looking like she does in that dream scene would be amazing to see as the game continues. At least we did get a vision of it though.

well, guilt and conscience are the motivation, and stopping lucien and helping girls are the goal. either way, what matters is that she is willing to actually do something. whatever her motivation is, she is doing good and she is getting better. MC is the turning point that might decide whether she is saved and clean or falls back in addiction and misery. She needs YOU

I'm a little confused I thought I read that the sex scene with Risa in the motel was on the corruption path.
To me it seemed rather sweet at least with what I chose. Did I have a crazy fever dream of that being called a corruption scene?
