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

[yossa999]

Nicki is indeed best girl, but Pepper is catching up bro. And Cassie is going to be fire, I just know it.

I can't argue with that.
Cassie surprised me a lot, from what Guy told about her to Ashe or Nicki I imagined her quite different, I mean her pesonality. But she's very nice and funny character so far.

I wouldn't know, I haven't played the teaser yet. I really want to, but I’m resisting for now lol.

Well, I'm not as patient as you or Vidal to save up until there will be at least 5K new renders
I see a new update - I download a new update. Besides, I don't really care about spoilers, if I like the game, I can easily play it from the beginning, enjoying the repeating playthrough. But I won't spoil it to you then

 

[UnknowGuys]

In the hush between each breath,
Where noise fades and stillness rests,
Peace arrives on silent wings,
Soft as dusk and gentle things.

The world may roar, the storm may rise,
But calm is found behind closed eyes.
In quiet hearts and skies so wide,
We meet ourselves, with none to hide.

So pause a while, let troubles cease
In every moment, there lives peace.

Man. This thing is so stuck in the mud it's ridiculous.

This update was banter in a room followed by a walk to a car. That's it. That's the whole thing. Hopefully we can get through the WHOLE car ride in the next one...

Why even bother releasing this much content? Is it because you have to show your work every few months even if it amounts to almost nothing?

I doubt its Neon who leaked this update to the public, so if you are serious in your frustration over size of update, you should probably demand explanation from f95 user who brought it here

No one is twisting your arm to play it. You want full updates, wait until there's one. Meantime people who don't mind teasers can, too, play what they like.

Your arbitrary definition of what constitutes an update vs. a preview is just semantics that don't matter. It's just a distraction from the spirit/focus of my complaint which is that this is a shitty 'release', whatever you label it as! Your explanation for why this release sucks doesn't really justify the fact that it does.

Whereas you see a bunch of people that can't read if a complaint gets repeated, I see the possibility that there might be validity to the complaint if a bunch of people are repeating it.

 

[yossa999]

Man, I almost pity the devs who are open and transparent with the zoners.

You release small updates and a bunch of pissed dudes runs into your game's thread, they are uncapable to read the change log and figure out how big the update is or save a few updates and download when there is enough content to their taste has accumulated. Therefore they complain and stamp their feet.

You do a poll about the size of updates, they choose big updates. You know very well that they will not be able to conclude: more content - more time to develop it - more time between updates. They will expect big updates to come out almost at the same frequency as before. But you're just a weak human being, so you convince yourself that the players understand this.. Half a year passes, and the number of renders exceeds several thousand. You're in the flow, you feel like you're making great progress, and you enjoy developing your game. And you decide to go to the forum, break the news, maybe share a few spoilers, and generally chat with the fans.

And here we are: "Is this game abandoned?", "nothing in six months, the dev is milker", "I will die before the new update comes out", "he will rework the rework", "GTA VI", "See you in 202x." They are pissed and continue to stamp their feet as before.

Anyway, Nicki is still the best girl.

ok i am bored i will bite. do you really think a short update made in addition to the rework to give something for the subs is the same as a full update that took months of work? maybe you dont know the meaning of semantics? are you complaining that someone wanted to give us this content earlier? or were you going into this teaser with the expectation to get a full update? if this is the case you might be delusional .
your comment is basically the equivalent to a complaint that a trailer is to short and that you are shocked that you didnt get the entire movie.


and for the last part: no there is no validity to the complaint. 1000 people repeating the same lie doesnt make the lie any more true, the same goes for 20 people that cant read and repeat the same complaint.


tldr: preview==short, full update==long. semantics doesnt mean what you think it does

here, read this

Especially the following:

"Heh, 150 Images? No Thanks: Respectfully, I don't make content for this forum. I make it for my supporters. My supporters understand why I put out the (sometimes bite-sized) content that I do, because I communicate it to them, and if they want to reach out directly, I'll explain my plans and reasons in more detail. My concern is only ever in delivering them what I promise them, for their support. That means $15 supporters get some kind of playable demo monthly, $5 supporters get a weekly update with a look at the script and art, and $2 supporters get exclusive bi-weekly art and story features. I can't even guarantee that they'll like it, though I do my best."

 

[La Dani]

A very good game but now the story seems "tired", with a lack of new ideas.
Pratically MC goes around and fuck.

ahh, come on, reading is highly overrated!

and besides: Reading and - god forgive - understanding could prevent people from coming here to stomp, cry and complain 'bout this'n'that. So what would they do with their time instead? Getting a life?

and as a preview it sucks, who cares that it wasn't "made for us" we can still discuss it this is a discussion thread maybe it's you who needs the reading lessons?

And another “genius” to the ignored
Seriously sometimes I wonder if it is easy for them to live with such a heavy disability

 

[PHIL101-YYouPPHard]

Although brief, I loved Cassie's personality, really funny and charismatic, and maybe a little silly, I wonder how she will react to Guy's actions if they are good or bad, at this point in the story it is quite clear that things will not end well for the evil Guy, the pragmatic Guy may be saved a little although it remains to be seen, I personally go for the good Guy.

PS: It seems that Cassie is into girls or at least that's what her flirting with the lawyer suggests. I wonder if Guy could share his LI's with his sister. At least I would approve of the idea (man, what a good brother I am ).

I've seen plenty of girls compliment each other's looks like they were a flirty guy coming on strong, but they weren't flirting, they were just having fun and boosting each other's confidence. So, in my mind, it remains to be seen.

I believe the best way to deal with these people that complain nonstop is to ignore them or politely ridicule them until they realize the are an entertaining joke.

For real. Honestly, I wouldn't even politely ridicule them, anything you say to them whether good or bad is their daily dopamine, and they'll eat up any attention they can get. They all at once want to mindlessly consume free content and then turn around and stomp the floor in a tantrum when they don't get their way; these people don't live in the real world and they have no self awareness. Hopefully they learn one day, but sometimes they never do. Either way, it doesn't have to be our problem.

BTW, I'm not talking about the people who politely and reasonably criticize the game like normal adults. It's normal to not like something or to even mistakenly jump to conclusions every so often. The people who take the time to think about something before they post are a breath of fresh air, whether it's praise or criticism.

I'm talking about the ones who just drive by, make wild assumptions that are flat wrong, and then get angry in the comments about their nonexistent head canon. Or the kinds of people who think every game dev should revolve their game around them. Or the ones who consistently and repeatedly make the same tired and dumb complaints over and over and over as if we don't already know their lame opinion on it, which of course clearly isn't going to affect the game's design anyways. We shouldn't engage with those kinds of people, it's just a waste of time.
