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

That's also what porn games are for lol. Imagine someone telling you they watch pornhub purely for the stories and then saying "that's what girlfriends are for" if they want to cum Not that these stories can't be good obviously, but most people read books or watch movies if they're just looking for stories and that's where you'll get the best of the best writing. But you're like the 3rd person I've encountered on this site who feels that way and it always throws me off haha

I guess it's the new "I read Playboy for the articles."

Can probably edit the character's name to get around that Not that it's any of my business, just saying that if you really wanted to play it, there's a solution

Yeah, it wasn't stored as a variable, it was hardcoded, and at the time I didn't know about that name-changer mod mentioned a few pages back. I'll definitely be making use of that, though probably not on that game specifically, since the uncle-niece relationship still kind of squicks me out even without the unfortunate naming. Weirdly, father-daughter doesn't gross me out the same way, probably because I don't have my own kids so it's farther from reality.

 

[char_2.0]

Not a fan of bimbos. Nor am I a fan of giant bimbo boobs. lol

Well then watch Yuri on Ice, and if you're feeling really daring watch Free!. I'm sure you'll love it

That would've been a better analogy actually lol I'm really not trying to judge people because I definitely have some judge-worthy kinks, but damn if I'm not confused

Well, tbh, sometimes URM's naming feature isn't enough because, as you say, if it's hard-coded by the author, I don't think you can change the character's nameplate.. which is fucking irritating as you can imagine. I guess I'm going to sound entitled here, but I really wish all authors would store names as a variable. And now I'm going to armchair too, but I mean, I'd be very conscious of one of my players encountering one of my character's names that was really unfortunate... like if the MC's mom has the SAME name as the player's mom... way too fucking weird... happened to me once... thankfully I was able to change the name I think. But if I couldn't... yeah, I would've noped out too. I already have enough guilty regrets as is

 

[NeonGhosts]

Any idea *how soon* today? As in, will it be before my wife gets home from work?

Mm, I've still got 170 images to place, and then I need to do a few renders that I missed on my initial pass. Then I've got one thing that's kind of broken in a scene, because I screwed up when I coded Viola's paths. I'd expect it to be on Patreon around 7 PM EST, but possibly earlier.

 

[Bad Wolf]

Free!

I have no fucking clue what those are.

 

[Jace_Herondale]

That's also what porn games are for lol

But those aren't porn games. Those are adult visual novels. Big difference. They have sexual elements of course but the story is also very important.

I think I'm kinda in the same boat as them, I'll attempt to explain. I don't read these to crank one out it's an enjoyable amount of titillation and I often click through overlong sex scenes pretty quickly. Does the occasional scene get to me, yeah, but the goal isn't the same as if I load up the hub. It's like before they neutered r/all I didn't go to reddit for batin' purposes but I did enjoy the random TnA that'd pop up while I was scrolling.

I passively consume these on my phone read story during dull moments and hey some titties or ass every once in a while. Yay! Rather than playing like brick breaker or some shit. I drop AVNs like crazy if the reading is too rough (bad translations mostly).

 

[karrek]

I'm the opposite, anything too sexual makes me want to do something about it, which means it's incredibly frustrating if I'm in a situation where I can't.

Not a fan of strippers for similar reasons.

I've only been to a strip club once and was incredibly uncomfortable the entire time... I've gotta have an emotional connection to someone before my brain let's me do the sexy times so when dealing with real people I'm pretty closed off sexually. No one night stands for me ever due to that. Porn or avns or what have you aren't quite the same, but it's way more effective if there's story and build up to the sexy times for me.

 

[karrek]

Oh I definitely agree AVNs are more effective with a story. Actual porn videos it kinda depends on the style of the production whether I feel like it needs a justification for the fucking.

If beta is today when will the full release come out?
NeonGhosts

I’m planning to put out the Beta to $15 subs later today. Currently setting images, and then I’ll have to do some quick bug-testing/squashing.

The $5 version will be available next Friday.

The scope of the chapter kept growing, so the release date unfortunately kept getting knocked back.

(This is from one page back btw ...)

 

[NeonGhosts]

Took a bit longer than expected, but

You must be registered to see the links

patrons.

I should note that while I'm calling this a Beta version, all the planned content is in the build, all variables are set, etc. I just want some time to polish up a few images, add a few animations, and do a comprehensive bug check, before I call it the final version.



As a reminder, the release schedule is as follows:

• Friday 4/14 - $15+
• Friday 4/21 - $5+
• Tuesday 4/25 - $2+
• Friday 4/28 - Public

You guys remind me of that guy on Tom Segura's podcast, YMH (Your Mom's House) The one who can maintain erection but can't cum while having sex with girls. It's like some odd super power or something!

shouldn't that be

Friday 4/15 - $15+
Friday 4/22 - $5+
Tuesday 4/26 - $2+
Friday 4/29 - Public

Usually 7 days in a week

It's a porn game because the purpose is to keep building sexual tension until you want to cum, it's just one that happens to have good writing. The distinction is nonexistent to me. It's like separating an Adam Sandler popcorn comedy from an extremely intellectually crafted master piece just because they have different qualities of writing; they're still movies with the exact same purpose, to entertain you for a few hours. Or separating a porn magazine with excellent articles from a porn magazine that almost ignores it. Everyone still basically buys it for the same purpose

You missed what I was pointing out I guess, on their post they have Friday 15th, then the next Friday as 21st, 6 days apart.
A week is 7 days, lol

No, NeonGhosts made 2 mistakes, today's date and plus 7 days onwards.
You made 1 mistake, today's date.
In my post I corrected you both.

 

[Echoesinthedarkness]

fascinating discussion guys, please continue

 

[NeonGhosts]

Honestly though, my brain is always fried around release day.
