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

[| Spawny |]

If the option is red in the URM, it means that the game does not see the patch.
Try changing the patch value to true in the URM window and click Change. Then click "Select" the third option in the URM dialog.

That's what i'm doing atm, thaks for the answer but without URM, if people want to play this game, they're gonna miss some stuff :/

I might've missed it, but does taboo patch work on a Chapter 1 remake? Or will we get non-patreon version later perhaps?

No, the remake is for "Friends Indeed" version of the game which is for Patreon subscribers and has no support for neither dark nor "evil" routes. The taboo patch will do nothing for it.

For the dark content, you'll have to wait for the "Friends In Need" i.e. regular version to receive update, and then to be uploaded here.

so to sum it up the dev reworked the game to soften it up for Patreon? I enjoyed the game and if I had to stop playing it I'd be ok with that. There wasn't much story left anyways right?

100% wrong. Those are two separated things.

Patreon version is called Friends Indeed: contains vanilla content.
Subscribestar version is the one called Friends in Need: contains the original game content.

Neon remade chapter one to adjust the story to make it better connected with later chapters and also because the original renders for said chapter were done by another developer and as such they were very outdated.

Its too bad this game will just be abandoned in another update or two. Remakes of these unfinished games always fail and there was no reason to remake the original version.

Not necessarily, you have WTHI, that is going to be finished, and the remake is going on slowly as well. Now that i've played all the routes of this game, i hope it gets finished because i liked both the bleeding heart and rapist routes.

damn neon, why'd you have to make Glory so gorgeous when the game is already full up on love interests

I don't think Neon would have bothered reworking Chapter one to add more backstory if he wasn't still entirely committed to completing the story.

Edit: I know people are impatient because they want to bang Brittani or whatever the case may be but remember, good games take a lot of time. Pale Carnations, for example, has been in development for two years longer and has (at least) two Devs working full time on it.

Nicki is beautiful.
Loved the remake.

 

[dreddhead]

Just finished the Ch1 remake, definitely worth Neon's time & effort.

 

[KiatRodrick]

No, don't let Nicki walk out that door! I can't bear to see her show up at our door again, crying, covered in tattoos, with her dignity and innocence gone...

It for sure is an upgrade compared to the old one. It makes Nicky far more likeable

 

[w123t4]

Now, let's play Jump to Conclusions!

• I'm Milking My Supporters: True! You got me, nobody tell those naughty little cows.
• I'm Trying to Avoid the Abandoned Tag on This Fine Pirate Site: True! Granted, Chapter 10 only came out in November, and the abandoned tag doesn't kick in for at least a year.. And the Blue Valentine mini-sode came out in February.. And the Chapter 11 teaser in March.. And now a full chapter in April.. Shit, I'm putting a lot of work into not working.
• Steam Demanded I Change the Content: Truueeeee! As you can see, Friends in Need is already on Steam, but they demanded I strip out any naughty content. So, I'm reworking it as a farming sim. The new title will be Friends with Seed. It still sounds dirty, but it isn't.
• I'm Abandoning the Game: Trrruuuuueee-- *

I think this falls under "Jump Again"

Is there any plans that will show how nikki got the tattoos and all?

 

[123gimp123]

I agree that she was perfectly fine before - I mean in the original I was on the Nicky solo path but the Dev wanted to give us more backstory and set some other things up. Basically wanted us to have more info about who Guy and Nicky were before Guy got rich. And apparently someone else did the Ch1 artwork

Man, I hate when shit get's retconned like this, especially after so many years have passed. New MC looks and acts extra retarded too.

Maybe there are legit reasons why this was done but if it's just because people disliked Nikki or whatever and you want to make her more likeable, I doubt it will work. People that dislike her will still continue to do so. She was perfectly fine before, she had flaws and in a moment of weakness tried to exploit her friend and regrets that, there's character there.

I agree on the Nikki part, that was a detrimental and pointless change for her character.

 

[123gimp123]

And apparently someone else did the Ch1 artwork and there were some bits he didn't like, so his call.

Baseball, huh. Because the mc and Nikki look like Fuckface and Josy from Badik, at the start, in the store.
