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

[albul]

For those saying that this game shouldn't be played vanilla, that's just your opinion/taste, I play it exclusively for the vanilla paths, and I love it. I tried a dark option once out of morbid curiosity, regretted it, and never tried again

 

[fixet]

The ONLY thing that pisses me off about Nikki is that she will disappear if you keep degrading, using and abusing her.

wait, what? is that new? that’s retarded

 

[EvolutionKills]

Yes, it's a joke and I know it, but it becomes real at the point where you hate a character and want to delete the whole game. That's the point that makes you feel at least a little good before you delete the whole fucking thing. Now it's you who's missing the fucking point.

Hey, we can't all be snowflakes.

 

[lorddarkam]

Those dudes hate Nicki because she was with another dude before MC. These no-ntr dudes are something.



That's not. That's the selfcensored version made for Patreon.

We have a "Friend Indeed" version made for Patreon.

And we have a "Friend in Need" version made for Subscribestar. This is the version that sticks with the Author's vision of what the game is supposed to be (the real thing).




Dude, the vanilla version IS the Patreon one.




I guess you didn't understand anything at all, do you?

I really liked Nicky as a friend even when she was dating when she was introduced ( i dont like ntr but i not one of those psychos who think someone else wife is his so if she fuck her husband is ntr those people are CRAZYY ) my problem with her is she keep messing up and coming to the mc for help, making the same mistakes, and then go off with some dude them come back all fucked up, instead of coming to the mc for help as soon as her bf did something wrong and breaking up, i would be okay even if she had another bf and was not into the mc, but this MESS she made and them coming back again for help this make me really dont like her, what is sad cuz she is cool when she is not being stupid, also she was like this to those 2 guys and sudden she want to be brave agains the mc what is a turn off like the mc is worse than those guys ?

It's funny how people shit on Nicki and yet, she's probably the most realistic character in the game. I've seen women let themselves get treated worse for less "pay-off" simply because some men are very good at mentally abusing their partners to the point where they don't know up from down or left from right.
All you guys calling her whore and golddigger are pretty much just victim-blaming tbh, it's not a great look

nothing wrong with that but at first sight its not clear that its only the vanilla version.

Oh, that's definitely an oversight by whoever edited the OP and promoted the thread to the latest updates. You can see I mentioned that earlier (happened the same thing to me).

Neither is being a victim time after time though with all respect, however much you might sympathize with someone becoming a victim especially if not their fault. Like I said the prize she paid is way too high, that does not mean she did not make very bad decisions that got her in that position as well and if she does not accept that she will keep making those same mistakes. Which is in the first place horrible for herself, but not that much better for those around her that care about her.

Thank your for underlining my point

I'll admit, I'm a little flummoxed nobody seemed very excited by the totally free 'teaser' version I made, available on both Patreon and SubStar, that contained almost half the total images of the update. SHRUG!

Anyways, the $5 version out on Monday will have an extra couple of small scenes, and the public version on the 7th will have a bit more. A couple of small art improvements too, but nothing that's overly noticeable.

For me I figured the teaser was like, a couple scenes or something, I'd rather wait for the full play to immerse myself for a longer time, a teaser is interesting if it was for a new game, for example, or if theres very long development times but you churn these out like a badass

You know, I have a few questions for you and for everyone:

- why uploading the update on F95 now when we had a free preview version and you know that we're having a public version in a week?

- why downloading it when we know that we're having a better public version in a week (more stable, more scenes)?

- why not following the thread where the uploader wrote that it was the "vanilla" version?

- why disrespecting the Author - who always comes here and chat with us - who just gave us a free version containing half an update this way?

It's called "Entitlement" and it's the number one export of F95zone

i dont play demos

- why downloading it when we know that we're having a public version in a week?

i didnt know that untill now

- why not following the thread where the uploader wrote that it was the "vanilla" version?

after it was out for supporters i avoided this thread because of spoilers

- why disrespecting the Author - who always comes here and chat with us - who just gave us a free version containing half an update this way?

where did i disrespected him? again, i dont play demos.

I respect you vanilla choices and i'm playing myself the good guy path, but you must realize that you just say "since i only like to see picture frames for the sake of nice woodwork we can burn down all the Caravaggio's out there".

No,we can't. Even if we really don't like Caravaggio. It's intrinsically important to respect the integrity of an author's vision. Even it's just the developer of a porn game, with all due respect of our NeonGhost. Censorship is always an act of retardness. If an opera is 'too much' you vault it. You don't dumb it down for a less receptive audience.

Now, i perfectly stand behind the reason why NeonGhost did the vanilla version, so he could keep publishing the integral version as well. Yet "THE" Friends in Need is the integral version. The vanilla version is just an act of artistic mutilation.

This is a pirate website. This is literally what this website was designed for. The forums are secondary to its primary function, being a pirate website. It's why devs have no say over leaks being added. Why use this website if you don't like piracy?

From the Staff, Ryahn: "
The nature of F95zone
- I know how this may confuse many of you, but we are a Pirate Site first and foremost.

Chapter 8 ?!!!

I never said any of those things though. I just advocated for the vanilla paths. I like them. And they're enough for me without the dark path, that's all.

 

[Valkorian]

Hows the "vanilla" patch compared to the regular patches? Any of the story changed besides the kinky and other shit gone?

 

[NeonGhosts]

Chapter 8 ?!!!

I decided it was dumb to have Chapter Four Parts One, Two, and Three.

Ch1 - Nicki (being remade)
Ch2 - Ashe and Gabby
Ch3 - Nicki, Gabby, Viola
Ch4 - Halloween Special
Ch5 - Alex, Brittani, Jamie
Ch6 - Wren, Mason, Pepper
Ch7 - Ashe, Viola
Ch8 - * we are here *

I don’t think it really helped me to feed the perception I’d been working on this for a while, and only had four chapters of content out. Relabeling them gives a better idea of how much content there actually is.
